/79/ CaliBunga: Tech, Drugs & Capitalist Soul, Pt. 4
Added 2019-07-11 15:16:58 +0000 UTCIn part four, we broaden the scope, to talk about the Frankfurt School, the humanities and 'romantic anti-capitalism'. If modernity features a battle between romanticism and rationalism, then the hippies represented an attempt to re-enchant a disillusioned world. But as that spirit was incorporated into market dynamics, it became rationalised and commodified. George and Alex sat down with Catherine Liu and Tyrus Miller (UCI Humanities & expert on Lukacs) to mull over these questions.
#CaliBunga is a special multipart series on the Californian Ideology: the seemingly paradoxical hybrid of New Left and New Right ideas - the synthesis of hippies with yuppies, all tied together with the promise that technology might liberate us.
Thanks to UC Irvine School of Humanities for sponsoring this series.

We're working on the details, but will try to do a live hangout (bandwidth permitting). Regardless, you can send us questions/points you have, and we'll discuss them!
