Nietzsche, Genealogy, History
<p>Friedrich Nietzsche is a philosopher put to many uses by groups of reactionary and institutional interests. His larger philosophical project, however, has always been about sense and subtleties and experiment, and for that reason, it is important to never read any quote or aphorism on its own, but engage with his texts in their complete depth.<br> In this episode, Shehzor gives you an overview of the book On the Genealogy of Morals, and Michel Foucault's essay "Nietzsche, Genealogy, History". This covers important concepts such as "good and evil", "good and bad", "slave morality", "master morality", "ressentiment", "guilt", "bad conscience", "forgetfulness", "memory and responsibility", "origins and purposes", and "the ascetic ideal". The impact of these concepts and discoveries has been felt across disciplines, and will greatly aid our future discussions on themes like poststructuralism, affect theory, autonomism, and gender studies.</p> <p>If you liked this episode, support me on Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/shehzor</p> <p>or Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=56853820&fan_landing=true</p> <p>UPI ID: beastboy.shehzor@okhdfcbank</p> <p><br></p> <p>Further reading and resources:</p> <p>Gregory B Sadler on Genealogy of Morals (3 part series): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlojPJr4-Vo&ab_channel=GregoryB.Sadler</p> <p>Then & Now on Genealogy of Morals (2 parts): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5vxabBmyyw&ab_channel=Then%26Now</p> <p>Then & Now on Nietzsche, Genealogy, History: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyigP8oxP9I&ab_channel=Then%26Now</p> <p>There are other videos on Foucault on Then & Now's channel, which are well researched and edited, make sure to check them out too.</p> <p>Plastic Pills on Deleuze on Nietzsche: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxZhCCSaY9I&ab_channel=PlasticPills</p> <p><br></p> <p>Basic Writings of Nietzsche edited by Walter Kaufmann.

Gramsci's Revolution (Gramsci ka Inquilab)

In the pandemic we have seen the disastrous policies of right-wing parties, that have caused the deaths of millions. And yet, many people from all walks of life stay devoted to these parties and leaders and keep them in power. How do systems like capitalism that constantly run into crisis keep seeming like the most "realistic"? What allows this toxic culture of overwork, exploitation, and burnout to survive in spite of everyone hating it? What will it take to break this cultural fixation and allow us to imagine new futures?</p> <p>Marxists are generally well regarded for their strong analysis of economic conditions and crises. But for questions of culture, many relegate them to the "superstructure", and argue that the economic "base" must be dealt with first, and the cultural problems will fall apart on their own. For a long time, the trend of "economism" in Marxism has held back the full potential of the revolutionary ideology.</p> <p>Antonio Gramsci was one of the most important thinkers to challenge this fixation. He introduced the concepts of "cultural hegemony" and "historical bloc" that prioritised revolutionary consciousness and people's engagement with conditions, rather than an abstract obsession with conditions and crises themselves. In this episode of Awaarelaal Philosophy, we explore the life of this revolutionary thinker, a brief history of Italy, and some of the most important concepts in his thought. We also engage with some of the ways in which society has changed since Gramsci's time, and the implications that it has for us today.</p> <p>Topics discussed:</p> <p>1) Brief cultural history of Italy</p> <p>2) Gramsci's early life</p> <p>3) Russian Revolution or "The Revolution Against Marx"</p> <p>4) Discipline</p> <p>5) Education</p> <p>6) Bordiga and Gramsci</p> <p>7) Gramsci and Ambedkar on Social Contradictions and Revolution</p> <p>8) Fascism</p> <p>9) Hegemony</p> <p>10) Historical bloc</p> <p>11) War of Position and War of Manoeuvre</p> <p>12) Machiavelli's Prince</p> <p>13) Fordism and Post-Fordism</p> <p>14) Intellectual</p> <p>15) Gramsci's Death and the Fall of Fascism</p> <p>16) The Rise of Fascism and Challenges Today</p> <p><br></p> <p>Gramsci's Writings Online:</p> <p>https://www.marxists.org/archive/gramsci/</p> <p><br></p> <p>Recommended Books:</p> <p>The Antonio Gramsci Reader, edited by David Forgacs (Each chapter deals with a specific topic, like education, or hegemony, and you need can go jump into any section you are interested in the most)</p> <p>Prison Notebooks, in 3 volumes, published by Columbia University Press</p> <p>The Political Philosophies of Antonio Gramsci and B.R.
