A discussion on where the critique of the consumerism goes in the time of economic crisis. What does this critique mean for the leftist movement? The starting point for the seminar are the texts of John Michael Greer, e.g.The Long Descent: A User's Guide to the End of the Industrial Age.

Debata sdružení SOK. Hosté: Ilona Švihlíková, Michael Hauser, Rudolf Převrátil

Diskuze o směrech kritiky konzumerismu v době ekonomické krize. Jaký význam má tato kritika pro levicové hnutí? Je pro ni vůbec relevantní? Nutí ji k revizi dosavadních přístupů? Má levice k této kritice dál přispívat a rozvíjet ji? Nebo jsou možné a žádoucí ještě nějaké jiné přístupy?

Jako východisko pro seminář poslouží texty Johna Michaela Greera, http://thearchdruidreport.blogspot.cz a jeho knihy, např. The Long Descent: A User's Guide to the End of the Industrial Age. Zajímavý pohled vycházející ze zkušenosti rozpadu sovětského bloku nabízí drobná knížka Dmitry Orlova, Reinventing Collapse.

Acts, Misdemeanors and the Thoughts of the Persian King Medimon Acts, Misdemeanors and the Thoughts of the Persian King Medimon
There is nothing that has not already been done in culture, squeezed or pulled inside out, blown to dust. Classical culture today is made by scum. Those working in the fine arts who make paintings are called artists. Otherwise in the backwaters and marshlands the rest of the artists are lost in search of new and ever surprising methods. They must be earthbound, casual, political, managerial,…
