CharlieFoxtrot posted:The Chomsky Foucault debate is a pro watch. I think Zizek is fine when he talks about movies and stuff. He's a smart and perceptive guy, and psychoanalysis makes for compelling and fun art criticism. But his "Marxism" is shallow and contradictory and, unlike his art criticism, gains nothing from a reliance on a huckster like Lacan.

But his "Marxism" is shallow and contradictory and, unlike his art criticism, gains nothing from a reliance on a huckster like Lacan. I think this is fair, and it certainly helps when looking at something that is more delimited like a film, especially when there have been whole generations of filmmakers who have been themselves influenced by psychoanalysis and thus their works are extremely rich when read that way. I think his writing is filled with undeserved condescension and obscurantism that turns the simple act of reading and explaining into something arcane and mystical. But basically everyone in academia throughout the 70s and 80s had to do it to keep their jobs for some reason so here we are, only kind of getting out of it since the 2000s. Lil Mama Im Sorry posted:Well, ive gotta read Das Kapital first, then next up is a biography of Buenaventura Durruti, and then Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent. Empire is the big one that's influenced a lot of more recent political theory in terms of constructing a framework for understanding global capitalism, what it means to be a laborer in that system, and what people can do about it. They were writing it in the early 90s and kind of leaned heavily into the whole "the nation-state is over" idea, which they walked back later, so that's worth noting. Reading Capital on its own is definitely a huge undertaking and though I wouldn't dissuade you from it, huge chunks of it are specifically tied up in the context of 19th-century Britain that its meaning may be lost without a companion book (I would recommend the ones by Michael Heinrich or David Harvey, Harvey also has a video lecture series on Capital as well)

Skwirl posted:Do you apply this rule to all actors who are also Scientologists? Because, um Yeah, I'd be fine without most of them. Beck's music went downhill once he became open about his scientology, and he just keeps doing the boring mopey Sea Change poo poo because it wins grammys. Everyone else is pretty much a one note trying to regain some old success, except Travolta and Cruise. I am surprised that Elizabeth Moss is in Scientology. You'd think they'd be against her involvement with The Handmaid's Tale, unless they were just banking on the positive exposure.

The Pervert's Guides are great and anytime his writing steers towards culture or film it becomes interesting again. Also, i love his takes on Stalin. CharlieFoxtrot posted:

imo Zizek is best enjoyed in film or lecture format, if you're going to try to engage with his ideas at all. His prose style is the worst I've ever read.CharlieFoxtrot posted:Reading Capital on its own is definitely a huge undertaking and though I wouldn't dissuade you from it, huge chunks of it are specifically tied up in the context of 19th-century Britain that its meaning may be lost without a companion book (I would recommend the ones by Michael Heinrich or David Harvey, Harvey also has a video lecture series on Capital as well)

FreudianSlippers posted:Negri was, allegedly, involved with the Red Brigades so he probably knows how to shoot an AK which is the skill I value most in my political theorists The best theorists develop their ideas in prison. quote:Recently released on parole from Rebibbia prison in Rome, and an acknowledged influence on Ya Basta!, Antonio Negri has unimpeachable revolutionary credentials. In the 1970s, he was the leading theorist of Potere Operaio and later of the Autonomia movement. But in 1979, the kidnapping and execution of Aldo Moro by the Red Brigades gave the Italian authorities the pretext for the indiscriminate repression of the extra-Parliamentary Left. Thousands of activists were arrested on political charges; Negri himself was accused of masterminding acts of terrorism, and of being the unidentified voice on the line in a phone call to Moro’s wife. There was no hard evidence to substantiate any of these accusations. The pentiti accused Negri of complicity only in one action and that was more a hideously bungled prank than an act of terrorism: in the ‘kidnapping’ of a Potere Operaio supporter by his friends to extract money from his wealthy parents, a chloroformed handkerchief was held for too long over the young man’s face. Nevertheless, Negri was sentenced to prison, only to be released under Parliamentary immunity when elected as a Radical MP. Escaping to France, where he had the support of Deleuze and Guattari, he continued his academic career in Paris (Michael Hardt was a student) until 1997, when he voluntarily returned to Italy to serve out the remainder of his sentence.

feedmyleg posted:The Hairspray remake is so bizarre to me. The original is a loving tribute to freaks, rebels, and societal outcasts made by a wonderful creep eschewing his grimy aesthetic to make something subversive that the squares could watch. The remake is this strange sanitized thing about institutionalized, packaged weirdness made by a major studio for high school theater kids. And John Waters probably made more money off of that than most of his other movies combined.
