this is quite a good idea, thanks, i'll see what i can do. at the very least i'm trying to figure out how to make each playlist downloadable; i think there is some option somewhere, i just havent found it.

ANY AND ALL CRITICISMS/SUGGESTIONS AS TO ACCESSIBILITY OR WANTED CONTENT ARE ENCOURAGED, thanks

sup. yes, princeton alum; for sure shoot me an email, would be interested to connect period, especially if you are in medford. right next door. also would like to hear your suggestions--as additions to this series? if that's the case, this series is already pretty locked, but i'd still appreciate the feedback.
it's not "just" scholars usually, though that's what i'm fishing for here as a pretty good filter.

good question. yes on a number of levels. firstly, i had to coordinate with the two invited lecturers and ensure that their expertise/focus/current interests were being met, while also offering something topically-relevant, accessible yet academically rich.
germany is a great example of that. the primary sources outside dewey virtually are all taken up by chytry and some of the secondary sources in the second session--it links the theory of aesthetics to its actual distribution/application in the political/social/economic world of living humans. kinser/kleinman is a great example of this in the form of propaganda, while williamson and viereck use myth as a window into the aesthetic-[political relation we want the seminars to explore and draw out.
basically its an extremely fecund area where political-aesthetics in the form of theory leading directly to practice converge. we could have chosen other areas just as rich--russian revolution, american founding, etc. etc.--but focus is always key, opportunity costs exist, and this seemed a healthy breadth/depth compromise. are you interested in german politics/political aesthetics, etc.?

jesus christ bro
you've read either adorno or Ted K. or Ellul once and now think you've got all the prescriptive wherewithall of a modern jeremiah
chill. i'd say "there are more things in heaven and earth..." to you, but i don't think it would really matter.
there is more to the nation state than your petty reductionism, and to remain blind to that is to remain blind to entire worlds of human activity, behavior, belief, etc. you either get it or you dont and you definitely dont.
how is this board so self-assured in its own stupidity?

Science (i.e sophistry)

Literature that discusses or involves the concept of divinity? Not looking for religious texts nor some fedora tipping shit. Just something that takes it seriously and gives it its due respect.
