The latest: "....Is 'subaltern' a code for the working classes? Is 'hegemony' an economic force or a cultural power? Are 'organic intellectuals' inherently more progressive? The answers to such questions depend upon your choice of scholar—whether, say, you’re reading a Foucauldian literary critic or a Marxist sociologist, a subaltern historian or a posthuman anthropologist. Over the years, Gramsci’s writing has been polished by critics of such diverse persuasions that it has now become a mirror: One opens his books only to confirm one’s own beliefs....when the English writer Andy Merrifield arrived in Rome, feeling 'washed out intellectually,' Gramsci came to the rescue...."

The latest: "....Over dammen var livet enklere. I løpet av krigen utviklet Frankfurterskolen sin virksomhet og bygget opp det som skulle bli deres ubestridte merkevare: «kritisk teori». Gjennom de neste tiårene skulle denne gruppa av tyske eksilanter opparbeide seg heltestatus blant akademikere over hele verden. Nå har imidlertid den amerikanske filosofen Gabriel Rockhill kastet sine kritiske øyne på aktiviteten til dette intellektuelle arbeidslaget – også kjent som Frankfurterskolen...."

The latest: "This examination of the 400-year history of European colonisation through the prism of ‘the political economy of enslavement’, is an act of completion. It integrates historical accounts that are relatively well known with detailed connections to a wider history and legacy of racial slavery. For decades, the history of the repeal of overt slavery by the British state was not so much taught as misrepresented, arguably until the twenty first century. Today, attempts to tell this history as it was and make connections to the modern world are increasingly being presented by the influential and US inflected Right in the UK as treasonable narratives introduced to pollute the purity of British history. Therefore, with accusations of ‘woke history’ to contend with, it is important that this full multidimensional exposure of slavery and its ongoing consequences should become the educative standard."

The latest: "Epicurus set up schools, first in Lampsacus (in modern day Turkey), then later in Athens. Other philosophical schools in the city used public space for lectures and attracted young, well educated, aristocratic Greek men. His critique of the ruling classes that dominated these schools that “'Nothing is enough for those for whom enough is too little' is as applicable today as in his age...."
