This is a conversation about academics as humans right, and so everyday life is not just something that happens outside the university.
Ever wondered how some of the sharpest minds of our time are influencing today's world? In this episode of 'New Books in Drugs, Addiction and Recovery', host Marshall Poe sits down with McKenzie Wark to dive into his book, 'General Intellects: Twenty-One Thinkers for the Twenty-First Century'. This isn't just another academic chat; it's a journey through the ideas that are reshaping our lives and work environments.
Wark's book introduces us to 21 thinkers from diverse fields like cultural studies, psychoanalysis, political theory, and media theory. But it's not all highbrow jargon – the conversation touches on how these theories play out in real-world settings, from universities to workplaces. You'll hear about intriguing topics like unique takes on Marx, the nuances of Italian and French autonomist thought, and even the intersection of gender and labor in modern academia.
Whether you're a student, a professional, or just someone curious about the intellectual currents shaping our century, this episode offers a treasure trove of insights. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that bridges complex theories with everyday life.
