I studied art and art history, and am very interested in the first book. I personally find it very ironic that much of western consumer industrial products were influenced by the Bauhaus (many of whom were socialist and communists) and the Russian constructivists to the point of being the dominant industrial aesthetic in western countries from the 1920's to the present. And yet art academia often completely ignores this real Marxist influence.

You know, If you want a fascinating book precisely on this fascinating dialectic between forms of Western consumerism, and the avart garde and soviet constructionism, Owen Hatherely's The Chaplin Machine is very good for it. What he shows in it was that the Bolsheviks, in their tortured but nuanced love-hate relationship with the idea of America, they were able to see that Fordist and Taylorist production techniques (of which the Bolsheviks were enamored with, and have been rightly criticised for) was not a one sided relationship. In fact, on the other side of Americcaba, the glitz, glamour of showbiz, Hollywood, jazz, and specifically, Chaplin slapstick comedy films, they were able to see it all as part of the same phenomena. In Chaplin they found a kind of comedic, artistic representation and reflection of Fordist capitalist modernity, and being good like dialectical Marxists, where determined to try and replicate that in their own way, in their economics, but also their art. Hatherely writes that America to early 20th century socialists: America was: "...home to the Klu Klux Klan, of the Pinkerton strike breaking gangs, of the Red Scare and the mechanisation of labour; but 'America' is also the home of Charlie Chaplin, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Frank Lloyd Wright, awe-inspiring industrial monuments, mass abundance - and the mechanisation of labour. 'America' was the place where mankind had begun to shape nature to its will, the 'Motherland of Industry', a land of social peace and astounding technological dynamism, and occasionally our protagonists had to remind themselves that it was also a political adversary." (p.6). What he shows with piercing insight, the Bolsheviks were able to see Chaplin and Ford as part of the same process, noting that Chaplin's films were actually enormously planned and precisely manipulated, each part of his body like a clockwork automaton. In this sense, they sought to combine the oddly Verfremdungseffekt-esque nature of Chaplin's films and movements, the occasional break in form and narrative in the silent comedies that reminded them of avart-garde techniques, and put them to use in the new Russia, one that would combine the modernity of modern production with the cutting edge of avant-garde cinema. In this sense, the Bolshevik project to modernise Russia was not just one of brutal lurching forward through increasingly brutal means, distant and contemptuous of "ordinary people's" way of life. Surprisingly, Hatherly shows the Bolsheviks liked to play. Nearly always, even in the most extreme forms of Bolshevik Taylorism, like in figures like Gastev, there was an equal emphasis on creativity and spontaneous joy, and trying to achieve slapstick esque motions through Taylorist means. We must then, as Hatherly writes "discuss Chaplin and Ford and Lenin, to connect Edison and Frank Lloyd Wright and Walter Rathenau - to discover a more conflicted, comic, collective form of American dreaming" (p.8). "Americanism was not only a technological advancement, advanced tempos and Taylorist regimentation of the worker's body, but also of an unprecedented engagement on the part of those allegedly representing 'high art' - experimental, 'leftist' film-makers, designers, theoreticians - with 'popular' forms of art, whether it was the imported 'vulgar' comic cinema, the circus, the burlesque or jazz. In all of these, the body's mechanisation is the generator of pleasure, not merely a conduit to the increased production of pig iron" (p.20). As untenable as it may be to some, Taylorism and Fordism was part of the same programme as Chaplism in Bolshevik's constructions of modernity. What critics of the high modernism like Jameson and most of the postmodernists get completey wrong then, is their flattening of the complex interactions that early socialists in Europe were able to make between "low" mass capitalist popular culture and the "high" avart garde, constructivist art and theatre. As Hatherley writes: "the Constructivist obsession with American mass media could not be further from the more recent celebration of popular culture as consisting in little 'resistances' against sundry 'totalising' forces, whether state power, class analysis, economic planning or modernism itself. This was one of the central claims of postmodernism in the 1980s, emerging at a couple of removes from the notion of popular subcultures as a form of 'resistance through rituals', developed by the likes of Dick Hebdige and Stuart Hall at the Birmingham School of Sociology. By contrast, the 1920s largely didn't see an uncritical celebration of popular culture, or a patronising elevation of an undialectically formulated 'popular taste' above the efforts of intellectual avant-garde. Rather, there were a series of critical engagements, where certain elements in a given object or form would be borrowed, some emphasised, while others were rejected or not politically useful" (p.8-9). Popular modernity was more fun, popular, and socialists then the Frankfurt School types could ever give it credit to be. Interestingly too, despite its polar opposites politically and artistically, Sergei Einsenstein hugely admired and liked Disney. Make of that what you want.

Jonas's memtion of Walter.Benjamin's book, reminded me of Mircea Eliade speaking of the homogeneity of place, regarding sacred places such as groves. Thanks for the post.

Benjamin's essays on writers of literature are still pretty hard to decipher even if you've read, reread, and read analyses of the authors he's talking about beforehand. Clearly he's on another level of literary criticism than basically anyone--but you don't know the half of how over the head some of his essays on literature can be until you've read his ones on Baudelaire and the Trauerspiel

La Gaya Scienza ftw. Biting, thought provoking, downright funny at times. Some of the best passages by Nietzsche, like his idea of "personal providence", the importance of interpreting one's own life in a beneficious manner.... Great list! Can't believe I still haven't read "Ecce Homo".

this shit is so HYPE i am crying and shaking rn thank you for uploading

Nice video. I have a question though: how do you feel about reading English translations from philosophers, especially those who are as playful and open to interpretation as Nietzsche and some of the modern French thinkers? The reason I'm asking this is because I'm on the fence about it. On the one hand there are ambiguities and allusions in Nietzsche that cannot be translated without loss of information. On the other I do think that the core of their philosophy is expressible in any language.

I would recommend the other collection of Walter Benjamin than the green cover one: "The Work of Art in the Age of Its Technological Reproducibility, and Other Writings on Media". It has a lot more in it and I think the translation is a little better, a little clearer. It's the Belknap Press: An Imprint of Harvard University Press

thank you so much for a new video i am literally fouriering right now

It's funny cause the last big names in philosophy (except of course the analytic part of it) are most of the time making their concepts on the assumption that Marx and Nietzsche are simultaneously impossible to discard. All French Theory is clearly doing this, it can in fact be one of the only common basis of their work. The same with Franckfort School, the same with Gramsci (I don't even know if he read Nietzsche, but his emphasis on cultural hegemony is the closest thing I can think of nietzschean politics). So to say that we can't do anything with the alliage of the two seems very bold, it makes me want to read this book quite a lot.

I picked up the Mencken book on Nietzsche at a used book store, do you know if that's supposed to be good?
