THIS IS REVOLUTION＞podcast Ep. 264: From Disco to House and History f/ Jeremiah McAllister

Wednesday Mar 30, 2022

Wednesday Mar 30, 2022

Today we’re going to talk about a genre that is extremely near and dear to the hearts of both Pascal and I. While his attachment may be visceral and sentimental, there is a large imprint this music has on my DNA in what I created with Bitter Lake, and my previous band La Fin Absolute Du Monde.  We’re going to be talking about House Music.  It’s origins as a unifying force for cis and gay Black males in deindustrialized Detroit, to a drug music phenomenon in the UK that was almost outlawed.  We constantly ask the question if music has revolutionary potential, did house rave music possess that at one time? Or was it just on the wrong end of the right dominated anti political culture war and war on drugs era.

 

Our guest Jeremiah McAllister is a veteran in the house music scene having worked with its founding fathers as a keyboard player and producer.

TIR PRESENTS THE MAU MAU HOUR W/ Pascal Robert: Black Cultural Nationalism

Sunday Mar 27, 2022

Sunday Mar 27, 2022

Cultural Nationalism is an ideology or practice that fuses collective cultural identity with a defined sense of "peoplehood." In the context of the Black or African Diaspora it usually demonstrates itself as a strong connection to manifestations of African Culture and even domestic Black cultural production. Does cultural nationalism have a beneficial political purpose in terms of material benefit? Or is it real just a form of identity redemption in the face of historical European colonialism.

THIS IS REVOLUTION＞podcast Ep. 262: The Reactionary Conservative Mind w/ Professor Corey Robin

Friday Mar 25, 2022

Friday Mar 25, 2022

Corey Robin is a well-respected political scientist. He has written several books, most famously, “The Reactionary Mind: Conservatism from Edmund Burke to Donald Trump,” and, “The Enigma of Clarence Thomas.” Corey has dedicated much scholarship to the nature of American political conservatism. His books trace the ideological groundings of American conservatism in the United States. Though we have had several guests on our show that discussed the danger of the current reactionary right, Corey Robin offers a different thesis. Robin argues that Right is not strong but weak, and that their capacity to implement their agenda has been severely hampered over time.
 
Corey Robin is an American political theorist, journalist and professor of political science at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.
