THIS IS REVOLUTION＞podcast Ep. 278: Remembering the ’92 L.A. Riots w/ Francesca Fiorentini

Wednesday May 04, 2022

Wednesday May 04, 2022

30 years ago America watched in horror as South Central Los Angeles burned after the not guilty verdict was announced in the Rodney King police beating. 28 years later we saw a country wide eruption of frustration over law enforcement's extra judicial killings of George Floyd and Breona Taylor. From 1968 in Watts, to 1992 in South Central, to 2020 what is the main function of these uprisings and what have they accomplished in their wake? What has changed with law enforcement? Is the idea of reforming law enforcement a bourgeois project? Has BLM or Abolish/Defund the Police helped or is it simply a more radical hashtag activism? We’ll ask these questions and more.

From 2013 to 2019, Fiorentini was the host and senior producer of AJ+, the digital media outlet of Al Jazeera. She was the host of AJ+ show Newsbroke.

THIS IS REVOLUTION＞podcast Ep. 276: We’re All The Truman Show Now w/ Doug Lain of Sublation Media

Friday Apr 29, 2022

Friday Apr 29, 2022

"We Accept The Reality Of The World With Which We're Presented. It's As Simple As That."
-Ed Harris in “The Truman Show” (1998)
 
In the 1998 film the Truman Show, Jim Carrey plays the title character Truman Burbank (true man) who lives an idyllic life in a quaint coastal town that is a cliche of Americana in the 1950’s. A perfect town free of crime, traffic, or unhappy people. Unbeknownst to Truman the town in the largest movie set in the world where his entire life is filmed and broadcasted 24 hours a day as “The Truman Show”. From the womb to adulthood people have followed the adventures of Truman Burbank. From first steps to first kisses, his parents, wife, and friends are all actors. Every experience, every mundane interaction is curated and sold for public consumption by the svengali of this simulated paradise, the director of the show Christof.
 
Are we now at a point in neoliberal capitalism where unlike Truman we ARE aware that we are indeed the brand to be sold. All our interactions are transactions to be bought and sold. Our only value is a market value. The curated experience isn’t a nightmare, it’s the goal.

THIS IS REVOLUTION＞podcast Ep. 273: The Problems with Race Reductionism in Sociology w/ Dr. Zine Magubane

Friday Apr 22, 2022

Friday Apr 22, 2022

It is often said that racism is ingrained in the DNA of America. An unavoidable consequence of a country founded on the notion of White Supremacy. Critical Race Theory architect Derrick Bell spoke of "interest convergence" meaning, the interest of all Black people achieving racial equality will only be accommodated when it converges with the interests of whites." Do shared racial connections outweigh class analysis? Does Critical Race Theory, Intersectionality, and Anti Racism, ignore working class struggles and embrace capitalist reforms?
 
Zine Magubane
As an historical sociologist and an Africanist, my aim has been to show that because the development of sociology has always been so closely connected with the colonization of Africa, sociology has always been ‘global’. It has also, however, produced knowledge in the service of colonial power. The connections between the history of sociology and the practice of colonial rule are, however, not well known. My work aims to change this. Much of my work is oriented around demonstrating that the frustrations that sociologists are currently experiencing about the limited abilities of our theories and methods to meet the challenge of studying global and transnational social processes are the results of this particular aspect of sociology’s disciplinary history having been occluded. The inadequacy of many of the normative presuppositions that underlie sociology’s core interpretive premises are, I have argued, are the logical outcome of the elision of this key aspect of our disciplinary history.

THIS IS REVOLUTION＞podcast Ep. 272: What the Left Gets Wrong About A.I. w/ Dwayne Monroe

Wednesday Apr 20, 2022

Wednesday Apr 20, 2022

The concept of “artificial intelligence” is aspirational and according to our guest "does not describe any existing or likely to exist computational system. Despite this, the concept is promoted to attract investment capital and customers but also, more critically for my purposes, devalue the power of labor – if not in fact than in perception (which, in turn, becomes fact). For this reason, I assert that ‘AI’, as a concept, is part of a propaganda campaign."
