S2EP1: Disembodied body talk
<p>For the first episode of season 2 (hi again!) we delve into uncharted territory: our own bodies. Confessing our expertly conducted abstinence from body talk, we dive into the absurdity (or value?) of this, where it might be coming from and how, at the end of the day, it’s really just (you guessed it) patriarchal. Do we really have to choose between being beautiful and brainy? Is there a productive and supportive way to talk about thighs? And, how do we bring back body talk without also resurrecting its 2000s toxicity?</p>

Ep. 24: Hopeless post-romantics
<p>Prompted by the apparent romantic sheen of Christmas time, we dissect romanticism in the 21st century. Inspired by Alain de Botton’s talk On Romanticism, we investigate romantic ideas’ ongoing influence on love, communication, and self-image. Are romance and honesty inherently incompatible? If your partner does not take off your shoes, should you dump them? And, if not, have we entered an era of post-romanticism? </p> <p>References: </p> <p>Alain de Botton <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPOuIyEJnbE " target="_blank">On Romanticism</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.theschooloflife.com/shop/the-loser-game/" target="_blank">The Loser Game </a>by The School of Life</p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgQvqi6aYD8 " target="_blank">Rupture and Repair </a>by The School of Life</p> <p><a href="https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/relationships/a39280521/if-he-wanted-to-he-would/ " target="_blank">Article</a> on 'If he wanted to, he would' TikTok trend</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>

Ep. 23: Greta and Ruben, we're disillusioned!
<p>For this week, we continue a conversation that has been re-emerging for the last month. Sparked by two cultural events – Ruben Östlund’s much-anticipated Triangle of Sadness as well as Greta Thunberg’s talk at the London Literature Festival – we try to wrap our heads around the nuances of calls for social change, or more specifically, their discourse, rhetoric, and intentions.</p> <p>Have we reached a point where ‘raising awareness’ – or ‘climate populism’ – just is not enough? Does a socialist critique from a middle-class director necessarily have to be hypocritical? And if so, aren’t we – having paid 20 pounds for the ticket – hypocritical in saying so?</p> <p><strong>References: </strong></p> <p>Watch the<a href="https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/literature-poetry/greta-thunberg-climate-event-live-stream" target="_blank"> live stream </a>for Greta's talk at the Southbank Centre. </p> <p>Greta Thunberg - <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61153762-the-climate-book " target="_blank">The Climate Book</a> as well as a <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/oct/26/the-climate-book-by-greta-thunberg-review-global-warning " target="_blank">review</a></p> <p>A <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-reviews/triangle-of-sadness-review-ostlund-woody-harrelson-1234606543/ " target="_blank">Rolling Stone review</a> for Ruben Östlund's Triangle of Sadness that sums it up quite well: </p> <p>“Instead, Triangle of Sadness seems hemmed in by its tastefulness — which feels strange to say about a movie whose central scene is a literal shitstorm, but this is precisely what merits the red flag. If not for that scene, how far would the movie appear to go? It’d rest on a few great elbows to the ribs, a few great punchlines (the best involving a grenade; the second-best involving the divvying out of some octopus) and a lot of filler. The actors try their best, but Östlund’s insistent conceptual droning overtakes them. “</p>
