We will be discussing Chapters 3-6 of Naomi Klein's Doppelganger along with suggested supplemental readings by Gabriel Winant and Antonio Gramsci. The conversation will focus on how far right social movements use media ecosystems and distortions to capture the popular imagination and how socialists can fight back to build mass movements and win.
- Supplemental readings:
- Gabriel Winant, “Exit Right” (2024) in Dissent (https://tinyurl.com/ExitRightDissent)
- Stuart Hall, “Gramsci and Us” (1988) from The Hard Road to Renewal: Thatcherism and the Crisis of the Left (https://tinyurl.com/GramsciandUsHall)
