4531 [lbo-talk] "Ruling Class" as Agent????? -- rank: 190

I agree with your Weberian point here, but isn't the US at the stage where social practices so thoroughly reproduce the ideology, saturate the social system with it, and make it not just orthodoxy but doxa, that the overt role of organic intellectuals is secondary? You have a point about ...

4532 [lbo-talk] "Ruling Class" as Agent????? -- rank: 190

I think this either significantly overstates the role of organic intellectuals or unduly restricts the category. I just finished reading Karen Ho's ethnography of Wall Street investment bankers (Liquidated). She makes a strong case that this fraction of capitalists (insert any qualifier you like about contradictory class locations) develops its ...

I.A. Richards and Eliot, at roughly the same time, took up the problem of poetry and truth: How could one enjoy or value a poem taught false beliefs? That problem was Richards's point of departure to. He argued that we were possessed by contradictory feelings, and a poem resolved ...

4540 [lbo-talk] getting back to criticism -- rank: 190

agree with you about NMH -- that voice is irritating, but it suits the Christo-folk sound that US kids love to get behind. Strange that better projects of the Elephant 6 collective/label did not initially receive the attention they deserved. Loveless is a justified classic. Listen to the album on ...
