Episode 01 | Has the Revolution Gone on Holiday?: A Marxist Approach to the Crisis in the Arts and Humanities in Sri Lanka | with Kalpa Rajapaksha
<p>In our first episode, Kalpa and I discuss the crisis in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences in Sri Lanka from a Marxist approach particularly at a time when the Marxist paradigm is considered obsolete in research and academic interventions in Sri Lanka. We discuss how departmentalization, ‘academic individualism’ and privilege exacerbate the crisis. The broader question which Kalpa is interested in is not ‘how we should resurrect the Arts and Humanities from its current state of devaluation’ but ‘how we should engage politically to transform social, economic and cultural conditions which facilitate such crisis’. </p> <p>This episode is conducted in Sinhala. </p>
