OK BUNGER! The Problem of Generations, pt. 4
🕑 Added 2021-10-12 06:00:03 +0000 UTCThe fourth in a special five-part series on generational consciousness and conflict.
In this episode, we examine Generation X – the generation of the End of History. How was this generation overshadowed by the Boomer's failures? In the Eastern Bloc, the fall of Soviet regimes was a traumatic moment – how did this shape consciousness? And how did the Iranian Revolution – and subsequent war – shape the political perspectives of Iranians?
Guests include:
- Maren Thom, film scholar
- Alexei Yurchak, professor of anthropology at Berkeley
- Jennie Bristow, senior lecturer in sociology at Canterbury Christ Church University
- Josh Glenn, semiotician, author, and publisher of HiLoBrow
- Arash Azizi, historian of Iran at New York University
- Felix Krawatzek, political scientist at the Centre for East European and International Studies in Berlin

Thanks for the heads-up. That should be fixed now!

I still can’t tell if this series is just talking about history or some type of historicity of generational studies, especially when josh glen is speaking, which seems like absolute pseudoscience backed up by generalizations. This is supported by his own biography, wherein his university declined to allow him to pursue his research. I’m curious as to why you all included him? What those bits are intended to illustrate? As far as I am concerned, he set up a dichotomy in the first part that essentially stated that either he is on to something or it’s all rubbish and the answer seemed pretty obvious to me. I’m glad you’re all experimenting with a new style and there are aspects that I do enjoy., especially in episode 2. That being said, my favorite part of the show are your collective interlocution, which is never pandering and sometimes even hostile (i.e., the episode about rave politics). The interviewees talking without that sort of degrades the conversation into something more like a rock band documentary.
