A hipszterség szociológiája és Bourdieu →
“The attempt to analyze the hipster provokes such universal anxiety because it calls everyone’s bluff. And hipsters aren’t the only ones unnerved. Many of us try to justify our privileges by pretending that our superb tastes and intellect prove we deserve them, reflecting our inner superiority. Those below us economically, the reasoning goes, don’t appreciate what we do; similarly, they...

Nem véletlen, hogy a modern állam felkarolta ezt az intézményt: a műtárgyak idõbeli besorolása és típusok szerinti osztályozása pontosan azt a racionális rendet, következetességet, esetenként kifejezetten determinisztikus világképet erõsíti idestova kétszáz éve a látogatókban, amelyre a modern állam szervezete épül….Amint a tárgyak tételek a múzeumban, úgy vagyunk mi magunk tételek az...

Stiglitz: The Globalization of Protest →
The two are related: as we have seen, unfettered markets lead to economic and political crises. Markets work the way they should only when they operate within a framework of appropriate government regulations; and that framework can be erected only in a democracy that reflects the general interest – not the interests of the 1%. The best government that money can buy is no longer good enough.

Pascal Gielen: Art and Social Value Regimes →
The intensity of the discursive dispute between Bourdieu and Heinich often lead to black-and-white oppositions that resulted in coarse reductions,especially of Bourdieu’s views on the sociology of art. But also Heinich was criticized for going overboard in her dispute with Bourdieu, as she was said to only pay attention to the singular in the art world. However, the importance of the discussion...

“Habermas refers to the system that Merkel and Sarkozy have established during the crisis as a “post-democracy.” The European Parliament barely has any influence. The European Commission has “an odd, suspended position,” without really being responsible for what it does. Most importantly, however, he points to the European Council, which was given a central role in...

Hipster Racism →
“Hipster racism involves making derogatory comments with a racial basis in an attempt to seem witty and above it all. Specifically, the idea is to sound ironic, as in “I’m allowed to say this because of course I’m not racist, so it’s funny.” It’s an aspect of a larger part of the hipster culture, which wants to seem jaded and urbane and oh-so-witty.”

Dani Rodrik - Europe’s Next Nightmare →
Europe’s centrist politicians have committed themselves to a strategy of “more Europe” that is too rapid to ease local anxieties, yet not rapid enough to create a real Europe-wide political community. They have stuck for far too long to an intermediate path that is unstable and beset by tensions. By holding on to a vision of Europe that has proven unviable, Europe’s centrist elites are endangering...

“But the fact that History is still in-the-making is being captured in newspapers headlines, in powerful photographs, and in the words of a simple middle-class lady in Greece during the 48-hour strike of October: “I have never been a leftist,” she said, “but they’ve pushed us to become extremists.” When the system forces ordinary people to become revolutionaries, you know you’re no...
