POPULARITY
"I like the word lethal. It is reminiscent [. . .] of pretty women and muscular men in classy hotels. Of secret negotiations and ice cubes in 25-year-old scotch glasses. [. . .]." Commentator in a study by Ofra Ben Ishai In this brief article, I will propose that the concept of lethality, aside from being poorly defined, has become a bleak commodity for Western military leaders. To be used as a tool for political consumption, devoid of real worth beyond permitting those who wish so to sweep aside any falsely perceived 'ethical' barriers to the conduct of war. Notably military forces that have not paid much heed to such ethics, for example, the Russians, conduct themselves on the battlefield and in occupation, already at the ultimate end-state of this dark consumerism. Lethality is becoming a military fiction as far removed from reality as any James Bond movie. That numerous Western militaries are now placing this at the centre of their national defence is, to me, both an act of desperation and a neglect of senior leaders' duties. It is a myth that shields itself from scrutiny. I will outline three points that you may wish to consider to gain a better understanding of my perspective. The first will be a rather heavy, but mercifully brief, interpretation of lethality as consumerism, using the work of post-modern sociologist Zygmunt Bauman. Second, outline the simple fact that lethality is so poorly defined as to be conceptually meaningless, and finally, to dissect through first principles some of the recent leadership statements about lethality and how they raise more questions than provide answers. Post-Modern Sociologists Like many post-modern sociologists, Zygmunt Bauman saw the termination of the 'rational' modern society in the concentration camps of the Holocaust. Rational man, bringing industrial-scale slaughter to humanity. In its place now stands a world devoid of rational values; the only cause for existence is to consume. How much you possess being the only mark of merit. Whilst this appears to be a potentially dark future, Bauman does see this as an opportunity, where the individual is now unconstrained by the guardrails of modernism. It is also important to note that societies don't just step over the border from modernism to postmodernism; these are theories, and of course, reality is far more complex. But Bauman's ideas are powerful ones. But it is in the darker aspects of Bauman's postmodernism that I see the relationship between the military and lethality. To suggest that the political process surrounding military strategy is not immersed in post-modernism is a form of profound cognitive dissonance. Politics at present is a prime case study in Bauman's thesis; military strategy like it or not is inseparable from that. To use the words of General Miley, 'militaries don't fight war, nations do,' post-modern nations. Lethality is becoming a commodity, an end in itself; sacks of shiny lethality become the worth of a military organisation. Detached from the necessity of military prudence. An anchorless idea that the Vietnam War and the outcomes of Western militaries in recent attempts at 'nation building' with massively overmatched firepower show is void. The problem with any form of consumerism is that it is always form over substance; the unique and well-advertised commodity is immediately desirable and not subject to critique of its worth. The recent strike on Iran's nuclear facilities being a prime example, any questioning of the strategy (or lack thereof) and effectiveness was immediately viewed as unpatriotic. Additionally, noting that the engines of this lethality consumerism, the defence industry, will do nothing to check this voraciousness. The entrance of numerous venture capital companies into the sector is a telling indicator. Things are entirely subjective My second point is that, like commodities themselves, what is desirable is entirely subjective. Additionally, as Stephen Wren had demonstrated with...
FastLetter - Una fonte buona dalla quale aggiornarsia cura di Giorgio TavernitiN. 56 - 18 Settembre 2025Di cosa parliamo* Sociologia della Ricerca su Internet* La complessità di oggi* La SEO* La cazzata della GEO* Ha senso ottimizzare per l'AI?* Il rischio di Google con l'AI Mode* Piccola Conclusione* I nostri eventi sull'AI* SalutiPremessa: non so come affrontare questo argomento, forse il miglior modo è dire le cose dritte al punto senza giri di parole. Quando abbiamo iniziato a parlare di Digital Transformation c'era un mondo nuovo che spiegava al mondo vecchio come doveva cambiare tutto.Ora che stiamo parlando di AI Transformation, vedo molte persone di quello che un tempo era il mondo nuovo non riuscire ad avere la stessa freschezza di un tempo.Vedo un mondo lento o lo vedo al rallentatore.Di solito, a portare avanti l'innovazione sono le persone nuove. Per questo nel forum gt incoraggiavamo le domande che venivano denigrate da altre parti, quelle dell'ultimo arrivato. Perché hanno un punto di vista che ti sposta dal tuo.E ci siamo ritrovati al punto in cui l'innovazione viene portata avanti da:* l'ultima persona arrivata* la persona che è portata di natura verso l'innovazione, che ha una visione molto ampia, elastica. Aldilà della sua età, aldilà di quanto è stanca.È molto probabile però, che il mondo del Digital, a furia di seguire le innovazioni si sia stancato prima.Perché sinceramente non mi spiego la fatica al cambiamento che vedo nel settore. Mi spiego un po' di più il livello culturale molto basso nel funzionamento base di Internet e del Marketing su Internet. Ma vi giuro che la fatica al cambiamento di tutti i soggetti coinvolti in questa AI Transformation non l'ho mai percepita prima.Mi permetto di darvi un consiglio: non siamo nemmeno sulla punta dell'hype dell'AI. A breve, il numero di richieste di attività e servizi in questo ambito da parte delle aziende salirà vertiginosamente.Circondatevi di persone che vogliono cambiare ed evolvere. Ma che lo desiderano davvero, non perché lo scrivono su LinkedIn.SOCIOLOGIA DELLA RICERCA SU INTERNETNegli ultimi 5-6 anni vi ho raccontato due mondi che stavano cambiando radicalmente:* il mondo della Ricerca (Google in particolare)* il mondo dei Social (YouTube e TikTok in particolare)Nel mio penultimo libro “Google Liquido” ho chiuso con l'oramai conosciuto capitolo dal titolo "l'Internet Liquida".Metto in fila alcune tesi che ho spinto più di altre per unire i puntini e dirvi cosa ne penso dell'AI nella Ricerca:* Google come ecosistema verso il suo interno, non più statico, ma liquido, con molte proprietà da più di 1 miliardo di utenti al mese* Google come ecosistema verso l'esterno, verso altri ecosistemi e il mondo social* Internet più aperta tramite API e interoperatività degli ecosistemi* Le nuove generazioni sui social più liquide, non statiche come le generazioni precedenti abituate a stare solo in un ambiente. Per loro l'ambiente è quasi indifferente* Le nuove generazioni che cercano nuovi stimoli creativi* Il frutto del Web 2.0 non è l'interattività, ma i Creator e la Creator Economy* Gli algoritmi dei Social non sono Topic Based, ma Audience Based e le Audience sono create in base alle azioni delle persone. Audience Liquide.La parola Liquido torna spesso in questo, non a caso Zygmunt Bauman ha teorizzato, parlato, scritto e via dicendo sulla Società Liquida e Modernità Liquida.Nel mio framework della Ricerca Umana unisco la Search e i Social in un unico mondo, la Ricerca intesa a livello più alto e non tramite una query.E quando arrivo alla parte AI parlo di un Intento Risolutivo.Quello che sta avvenendo in questi mesi è l'enorme unione di tutto questo. È come se tutti i mondi precedenti si stessero condensando verso uno nuovo. È l'esplosione di una supernova. L'AI non è una cosa nuova che si appiccica SOLO all'esistente. Lo crea.Così come spiegavo che non è più possibile distinguere cosa è social e cosa non lo è, non sarà più possibile distinguere cosa è una ricerca con l'AI e cosa no. Stiamo andando verso l'uso dell'AI in ogni cosa.Ma non solo. Le nuove generazioni, e piano piano anche tutte le altre precedenti, stanno modificando pesantemente lo scenario. Le nuove generazioni che saltano da un social all'altro senza sentirsi appartenere a uno o all'altro, saltano da un sistema di ricerca a un altro. Saltano da Google a ChatGPT a TikTok.Perché prima di tutto non c'è la tecnologia, c'è l'essere umano.Le vecchie generazioni si stanno abituando, perché altrimenti si sentono fuori da questo mondo innovativo che loro stesse hanno creato o frequentato dal principio.È l'Internet Liquida nella tecnologia e nel modo di viverla dell'essere umano. La tecnologia asseconda questa tensione umana.Vi ricordate quando nel framework della ricerca umana vi dicevo che all'inizio c'erano le Directory, poi i Motori di Ricerca, poi Social Network, Social Media e infine mondo AI?Ecco dicevo che più ci spostavamo verso il mondo di destra, verso l'AI, verso il futuro, più aziende erano in competizione per la fetta di torta. La frammentazione della leadership nella ricerca non è più solo riguardante le aziende.Riguarda noi. Riguarda tutto quello che usiamo.Mi sta venendo in mente, mentre sto effettuando il processo di revisione di questa edizione della FastLetter, che forse è il caso di realizzare dei video che spiegano i termini più imporanti, come un glossario ma più pratico. Potrei aprire la rubrica “Parole da portare con sé nel Futuro”. Su YouTube.LA COMPLESSITÀ DI OGGIIn molte parti del nostro mondo fisico esistono luoghi assaltati dai turisti che votano i cibi locali. Così, in alto in classifica ti ritrovi i peggiori ristoranti del posto. Gente non competente che pensa di esserlo. Ecco, questo è LinkedIn.La complessità di oggi non può essere risolta facilmente. In una edizione precedente spiegavo quanto si andrà anche verso la frammentazione della consulenza.Tutti questi post su cosa fare e come agire sono assurdi per il semplice fatto che non sono applicabili se non al cliente di chi lo sta raccontando (che già va bene se è vero). Certo, è sempre avvenuto così. Dicevamo di non poter applicare le strategie SEO usate negli USA portandole in Italia: si tratta di un mercato diverso. Ecco quello che era vero a livello di nazione ora è vero non solo nei settori, ma nella natura dei progetti stessi.Mi piacerebbe prendere i post di Linkedin dei vari personaggi in voga e smontali pezzo per pezzo, ma ho di meglio da fare.Quelle elucubrazioni indossano un vestito nuovo. Sotto, però, la sostanza è sempre la stessa: trita e ritrita. La maggior parte dei post che sembrano innovativi, in realtà nascondono una mentalità lenta e di vecchio stampo. Non hanno sostanza, se non in piccolissimi casi.Quello non è cambiare davvero. Quello è tentare di sopravvivere a un cambiamento, non cavalcarlo. Perché il cambiamento vero sta avvenendo a livello di processo, non di piccola cosa tecnica che si è scoperta. Se prendiamo il mondo e-commerce e leggiamo alcuni dei consigli che appaiono innovativi, è molto probabile che risultino essere esercizi di stile proposti dall'ennessimo post ego-riferito, inapplicabili in molti casi e con uno spostamento del fatturato inesistente.Applicare l'AI ad una piccola parte di un qualcosa non è il punto di arrivo. Bisogna riuscire a stravolgere completamente il processo dell'elaborazione delle informazioni in nostro possesso per scalare velocemente. Non solo per generare i tag title!E poi alla fine scopri che il sito converte poco, ci si concentra solo sull'acquisizione nuovi clienti, non c'è un piano per il carrello abbandonato e via dicendo.Internet è frammentata. La ricerca è frammentata. La consulenza è frammentata.Ed è tutto così.Un freelance SEO ha strategie diverse un'Agenzia. E problemi diversi.Un e-commerce multibrand ha problemi differenti da uno monobrand.Questa cosa, già in essere negli anni passati, sta esplodendo con l'AI. Perché?Perché l'AI sta smontando i processi. Signore e Signori, l'AI ci porta in una direzione in cui le cose vanno fatte maledettamente bene, maledettamente personalizzate sui progetti. E rese scalabili su tutto l'ecosistema dei clienti. Avete presente il Time To Market?La locuzione inglese time to market (o TTM) indica il periodo di tempo che intercorre tra l'ideazione di un prodotto e la sua effettiva commercializzazione. Da WikipediaNel mondo e-commerce applicare l'AI alla SEO e al'ADV offre una serie di vantaggi molto concreti:* azzerare il Time to Market del prodotto da quando finisce nel catalogo a quando è disponibile con tutte le ottimizzazioni in tutte le lingue* scalare notevolmentePensate a un e-commerce di moda. Prima, per lanciare una nuova scarpa in 6 paesi, il processo (traduzioni, SEO, campagne ADV) richiedeva molti giorni. Oggi, con un processo ridisegnato tramite AI, lo stesso risultato si ottiene in poche ore, con un controllo umano finale. Questo non è un piccolo miglioramento, è un cambio di paradigma che libera risorse per un valore incalcolabile.Per farlo, però, devi cambiare i processi e le persone: non ti basta "usare l'AI"! E questa cosa è in grado di spostare totalmente i budget e la strategia digitale.I processi cambiano da realtà a realtà, da infrastruttura tecnologica a infrastruttura tecnologica. Una soluzione che va bene per un progetto, non va bene per l'altro.E soprattutto: non è una cosa da poco. E come sempre: ha a che fare con gli esseri umani.Oggi è tutto molto più complesso, ci sono davvero troppi canali, troppe azioni che si possono fare. Leggo i vari post in giro e mi chiedo: ma questa cosa quanto sposta di fatturato?Zero.Quanto sposta di fatturato cambiare completamente il processo di produzione delle informazioni una volta che lo hai oliato bene? Molto.LA SEOLa SEO è sempre stata una scusa per fare le
Chiara Giaccardi, Mauro Magatti"Macchine celibi"Meccanizzare l'umano o umanizzare il mondo?Edizioni del Mulinowww.mulino.itSiamo nell'epoca delle macchine celibi, dove l'essere umano viene modellato da ciò che lui stesso ha costruito. La via d'uscita sta nel recuperare ciò che la modernità ha emarginato: il dialogo, il pensiero, lo spirito. Perché la felicità non è celibe (e nemmeno la libertà).Cosa resta oggi della modernità definita «liquida» da Zygmunt Bauman? Il modello di sviluppo che ha dominato il passaggio di secolo è ormai tramontato. Come tenere insieme, allora, una società sempre più grande e frammentata, che si sbarazza dell'ordine morale tradizionale in nome della libertà personale? Il digitale, che si propone come antidoto alle spinte disgregatrici della nostra epoca, è allo stesso tempo un potente catalizzatore di nuovi problemi. Il risultato è paradossale: massima efficienza e massimo caos comunicativo coesistono. E mentre le macchine intelligenti diventano sempre più simili all'uomo, l'uomo rischia di regredire a «macchina celibe»: un Io isolato, performante, privo di legami e incapace di riconoscere l'altro. Questo libro ci richiama all'urgenza di un pensiero nuovo, a partire dalla riscoperta di una «politica dello spirito» capace di restituire senso, legami e futuro alle nostre società. Siamo a un bivio: sta a noi scegliere la direzione.Chiara Giaccardi insegna Sociologia e Antropologia dei media all'Università Cattolica di Milano, dove dirige anche la rivista «Comunicazioni Sociali».

In this episode of Psyche Podcast, I sit down with filmmaker Fred Sprinkle to talk about his powerful short film The Rites of Man. From the first time I watched it, I was struck by its beauty, depth, and the way it speaks to the struggles of masculinity in our culture today. Fred shares how the project was born out of his own reflections on manhood, mental health, and the pressures to constantly “maximize” in a world governed by metrics and algorithms.We dive into the unique filmmaking process—shot on 16mm film—and explore themes of precarious masculinity, trauma, relationships, and the tension between connection and solitude. Our conversation also touches on philosophy, Byung-Chul Han, Zygmunt Bauman, religion, and the longing for community in a digital age.This is one of those episodes that opens up big questions about what it means to be human, how we deal with pain, and how art can help us reflect on our lives. Whether you're drawn to film, psychology, or questions of masculinity, I think you'll find this conversation both thought-provoking and deeply human.
La lectura del Banquete de Platón explora cómo este simposio se concibe desde diferentes aproximaciones, desde lo superfluo hasta lo sublime. En esta obra, se consideraban válidos ciertos tipos de amor que hoy serían inconcebibles. Esto se abona también en los días posmodernos con el concepto de "amor líquido" de Zygmunt Bauman, que no se limita solo a las relaciones románticas, sino que trasciende a las comunidades en general.

Andresa Boni e Luiz Felipe Pondé mergulham nas ideias do sociólogo polonês Zygmunt Bauman, o pensador que transformou a incerteza moderna em conceito: a modernidade líquida.Em um mundo onde quanto mais o Estado tentar organizar, mais desorganizado tudo parece e onde nada é feito para durar, Bauman nos ajuda a entender o que acontece quando relacionamentos viram apenas conexões, segurança vira vigilância, e compromissos se tornam contratos com prazo de validade.Da utopia socialista ao ativismo de sofá, Andresa e Pondé vão se aprofundar nos conceitos de Bauman, um dos poucos que ousaram em dizer: “Em tempos líquidos, tudo escorre entre os dedos: o amor, os valores, os compromissos… até mesmo o futuro parece evaporar antes de chegar”.Assista ao Linhas Cruzadas, todas as quintas às 22h na TV Cultura.#TVCultura #LuizFelipePondé #AndresaBoni #LinhasCruzadas #ZygmuntBauman #AmorLíquido
Zygmunt Bauman -quien introdujo la idea de modernidad líquida- escribió sobre sus consecuencias en los individuos, concretamente aumentando sentimientos de incertidumbre y una privatización de la ambivalencia. Se trata, para este autor, de una continuación caótica de la modernidad, donde una persona puede cambiar de una posición social a otra de manera fluida y reiterada. La modernidad líquida, según Bauman, está marcada por cambios constantes, inciertos y acelerados que, entre otras cosas, llevan a dar más valor al índice de consumo y productividad laboral de una persona al cuidado que requiere cuando llega a una edad de vejez. El nomadismo deviene un rasgo general del hombre líquido moderno, mientras fluye a través de su propia vida como un turista, cambiando sitios, trabajos, cónyuges, valores y a veces más —como su orientación política o sexual— excluyéndose de las redes tradicionales de contenciónSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/audioteca/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Het derde gesprek van Ad Verbrugge met dominee Paul Visser over het boek 'De gezagscrisis'. In het eerste gesprek kwam de dynamiek van zeggen, luisteren en gezag aan bod. Het vorige gesprek ging over de ontzuiling en het wegvallen van instituties. Die thematiek komt nu terug, waarbij dominee Visser duidt welk geestelijk tegenwicht er in het geloof te vinden is in een tijd van tanend gezag (en onbehagen).--Steun DNW en word patroon op http://www.petjeaf.com/denieuwewereld.Liever direct overmaken?

Mai come ora il divario generazionale tra adolescenti e adulti sembra essere notevole, e il mondo dei giovani appare enormemente più complesso di quello dei loro genitori. Come si costruisce l'identità degli adolescenti oggi? Cosa significa vivere e riconoscersi in un mondo veloce, fluido, liquido come questo, anche per ciò che riguarda l'identità di genere? E cosa significa, "identità"? Ne abbiamo parlato con la dottoressa Elena Buday, psicologa dell'adolescenza e docente presso la scuola di Psicoterapia dell'istituto Minotauro di Milano. Nella puntata si nominano Zygmunt Bauman e Miguel Benasayag, e si parla del saggio Il declino del desiderio di Luigi Zoja.

Wie kann es überhaupt sein, dass das Thema Migration im Bundestagswahlkampf 2025 eine dominante Rolle gespielt und den Rechten zu Traumergebnissen verholfen hat? Der aus dem Jahr 2016 stammende Essay "Die Angst vor den anderen" des Soziologen Zygmunt Bauman ist auf die heutige Situation perfekt übertragbar und erklärt, wie rechtsextreme Politiker mit dem Thema Migration Panik und Politik machen.
The publication of Theory and Society in 2024 bought to conclusion a three volume collection of The Selected Writings of Zygmunt Bauman. Preceded by Culture and Art in 2021 and Politics and History in 2023 (all published by Polity Press) these volumes presented essays which either had never been published before, were being made available in English for the first time, or had previously been published but were not well known. The books were hugely influential contributions for scholars of Bauman, who now had access to new texts, in some cases ones which encouraged some rethinking of his project, as well as scholars in social theory, the history of sociology and the themes of each volume. All the volumes were edited by four scholars, three of whom joined me for this podcast: Dariusz Brzeziński, Tom Campbell and Jack Palmer (Mark Davis makes up the team) to discuss the series, including an in-depth discussion of Theory and Society. As we discuss in the episode, the availability of these texts, especially the translations from Bauman's pre-exile works in Poland encourage us to look at Bauman's work as one continuous project founded around a project of humanism and what the editors term the ‘Camus-Gramsci-Mills axis' which defines his work. But, it also opens new ways of placing Bauman as, for example a scholar of futures and the history of sociology and social thought. We also discuss the significance of the translations of Bauman's work (performed by Katarzyna Bartoszynska), how the opening of the Janina and Zygmunt Bauman papers at the University of Leeds provided a prompt for this project and the relation between Bauman's work and life circumstances. I also ask the editors to pick their favourite essay from the series. Your host, Matt Dawson is Professor of Sociology at the University of Glasgow and is the author of G.D.H.

Preceded by Culture and Art in 2021 and Politics and History in 2023 (all published by Polity Press) these volumes presented essays which either had never been published before, were being made available in English for the first time, or had previously been published but were not well known. The books were hugely influential contributions for scholars of Bauman, who now had access to new texts, in some cases ones which encouraged some rethinking of his project, as well as scholars in social theory, the history of sociology and the themes of each volume. All the volumes were edited by four scholars, three of whom joined me for this podcast: Dariusz Brzeziński, Tom Campbell and Jack Palmer (Mark Davis makes up the team) to discuss the series, including an in-depth discussion of Theory and Society. As we discuss in the episode, the availability of these texts, especially the translations from Bauman's pre-exile works in Poland encourage us to look at Bauman's work as one continuous project founded around a project of humanism and what the editors term the ‘Camus-Gramsci-Mills axis' which defines his work. But, it also opens new ways of placing Bauman as, for example a scholar of futures and the history of sociology and social thought. We also discuss the significance of the translations of Bauman's work (performed by Katarzyna Bartoszynska), how the opening of the Janina and Zygmunt Bauman papers at the University of Leeds provided a prompt for this project and the relation between Bauman's work and life circumstances. I also ask the editors to pick their favourite essay from the series. Your host, Matt Dawson is Professor of Sociology at the University of Glasgow and is the author of G.D.H. Cole and British Sociology: A Study in Semi-Alienation (2024, Palgrave Macmillan), among other books. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Jack Palmer's Zygmunt Bauman and the West: A Sociology of Intellectual Exile (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2023) invites us to reconsider a figure who sociology thought it knew well. Presenting Bauman as occupying an ‘exilic' position as ‘in, but not of, the West' Palmer presents a number of paths through Bauman's sociology which speak to contemporary concerns with the decolonial critique, Eurocentrism, imperialism and the Jewish experience. In doing so, Palmer draws across Bauman's published works and his newly available archive to argue that the distinctive social thought that sprang from Bauman's lived experiences of exile amounts to a sustained, sophisticated, and hitherto unappreciated problematization of Eurocentrism and the West. This outstanding book also asks us to look again at Bauman's mode of writing, with the centrality of the essay being both a reflection of Bauman's exilic position and also a key to the continuing value of his sociological project. This is a book which those who know Bauman, but also those unfamiliar with his work, will find richly rewarding. Our discussion covers all these themes and ultimately asks the question of how do we remember intellectuals? Learn more about your ad choices.

Nesta semana, no Linhas Cruzadas, Andresa Boni e Luiz Felipe Pondé discutem a crise das grandes narrativas na era da pós-modernidade. Andresa questiona se hoje existe uma verdade ou se cada um escolhe "sua verdade" como escolhe uma roupa. Pondé explica que a pós-modernidade surgiu após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, trazendo a descrença em grandes histórias, como dizia Zygmunt Bauman, que acreditava que a utopia moderna morreu em Auschwitz. Eles falam sobre o mito da caverna de Platão e discutem a importância dos saberes tradicionais em comparação com a ciência. A conversa se estende ao impacto da pós-modernidade nas artes, moda e arquitetura. Não perca esta conversa envolvente no Linhas Cruzadas, todas as quintas às 22h. #TVCultura #LuizFelipePondé #AndresaBoni #Narrativa #PósModernidade
Despite its persistence and viciousness, anti-Semitism remains undertheorized in comparison with other forms of racism and discrimination. How should anti-Semitism be defined? What are its underlying causes? Why do anti-Semites target Jews? In what ways has Judeophobia changed over time? What are the continuities and disconnects between mediaeval anti-Judaism and the Holocaust? How does criticism of the state of Israel relate to anti-Semitism? And how can social theory illuminate the upsurge in attacks on Jews today? Considering these questions and many more, Critical Theories of Anti-Semitism (Columbia University Press, 2024) by Dr. Jonathan Judaken is at once a philosophical reflection on key problems in the analysis of anti-Semitism and a history of its leading theories and theorists. Jonathan Judaken explores the methodological and conceptual issues that have vexed the study of Judeophobia and calls for a reconsideration of the definitions, categories, and narratives that underpin overarching explanations. He traces how a range of thinkers have wrestled with these challenges, examining the theories of Jean-Paul Sartre, the Frankfurt School, Hannah Arendt, and Jean-François Lyotard, alongside the works of sociologists Talcott Parsons and Zygmunt Bauman and historians Léon Poliakov and George Mosse. Dr. Judaken argues against claims about the uniqueness of Judeophobia, demonstrating how it is entangled with other racisms: Islamophobia, Negrophobia, and xenophobia. Critical Theories of Anti-Semitism not only urges readers to question how they think about Judeophobia but also draws them into conversation with a range of leading thinkers whose insights are sorely needed in this perilous moment. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Invitée: Izabela Wagner. Le sociologue Zygmunt Bauman, décédé en 2017, définissait notre société contemporaine comme une "société liquide". Les situations évoluent plus vite que les habitudes, l'individu ne parvient pas à apprendre de ses expériences sur le long terme et doit répondre à une double injonction de mobilité et dʹadaptation Quelles sont les conséquences de cette liquéfaction de nos sociétés ? Tribu reçoit Izabela Wagner, sociologue et biographe de Zygmunt Bauman. Elle se fait le porte-voix de sa pensée, à lʹoccasion de la sortie de lʹouvrage " Ma vie en fragments " aux éditions Premiers parallèles, un récit autobiographique posthume édité pas lʹinvitée de lʹémission.
El amor es una decisión. No es un flechazo emocional ni nada por el estilo, es un compromiso consciente. El matrimonio es el rito en el que se fortalece el vínculo, conocedores nuestros antepasados que el propósito se esconde en el deber ciego. Es un salto de fe y es por eso que seguimos la tradición, porque si lo pensáramos un poquito no encontraríamos lógica al movimiento. Comprometerse con alguien, llevar niños a este mundo, ser vulnerable. En aquello que te acojona hallarás un verdadero sentido.

In this episode, Eric Hsu and Louis Everuss have a discussion about Zygmunt Bauman's noted work, Wasted Lives (2003), which explores how the process of modernisation inevitably produces waste. In discussing what it means to live in a disposable society, Eric and Louis imagine what it must have been like to have once worked in a fax machine factory. Listeners wanting to send Eric and Louis a fax are advised to send them a telegram instead.

The boys are back and we are finally finishing this masterwork of left sociology by heavyweight Polish intellectual and dissident Marxist, Zygmunt Bauman.From the publisher's note:"Modernity was supposed to be the period in human history when the fears that pervaded social life in the past could be left behind and human beings could at last take control of their lives and tame the uncontrolled forces of the social and natural worlds. And yet, at the dawn of the twenty-first century, we live again in a time of fear. Whether its the fear of natural disasters, the fear of environmental catastrophes or the fear of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, we live today in a state of constant anxiety about the dangers that could strike unannounced and at any moment. Fear is the name we give to our uncertainty in the face of the dangers that characterize our liquid modern age, to our ignorance of what the threat is and our incapacity to determine what can and can't be done to counter it."We cover the introduction and first two chapters in this episode.Bauman, Zygmunt. 2006.

In this episode of International Horizons, we are joined by Izabela Wagner of the Institute of Sociology at the Collegium Civitas in Warsaw and Fellow at The French Collaborative Institute on Migration in Paris. She discusses the sociological factors behind the success of virtuoso musicians and on the social pre-conditions of professional excellence. Wagner also delves into the life of Zygmunt Bauman, his works, and how to understand his innovative theories such as the notion of a newly "liquid" world that followed the solidity of twentieth-century society. Finally, Wagner discusses her reasons for using biographical approach to social life and the latest developments in the refugee crisis in Poland, in which the government has selectively supported Ukrainians while neglecting to help people from other nationalities now awaiting admission on the border with Belarus.

Happy December, I just finished my semester and finally got around to mastering this episode that we recorded a couple months ago. We are revisiting this masterwork of left sociology by heavyweight Polish intellectual and dissident Marxist, Zygmunt Bauman who is a harsh critic of late capitalist modernity. From the publisher's note:"Modernity was supposed to be the period in human history when the fears that pervaded social life in the past could be left behind and human beings could at last take control of their lives and tame the uncontrolled forces of the social and natural worlds. And yet, at the dawn of the twenty-first century, we live again in a time of fear. Whether its the fear of natural disasters, the fear of environmental catastrophes or the fear of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, we live today in a state of constant anxiety about the dangers that could strike unannounced and at any moment.
