This is a segment of episode 347 of Last Born In The Wilderness, “Broken Sociality: Isolation, Social Murder, & The Process Of Depoliticization w/ Nate Holdren." Listen to the full episode: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/nate-holdren

Read ‘Broken Sociality: Isolation in the Pseudo-Return to “Pre-Pandemic Normal”’ at Peste Magazine: https://www.pestemag.com/lost-to-follow-up/broken-sociality

Legal historian and author Nate Holdren joins me to discuss broken sociality, political and social loneliness, and social murder and its depoliticization during the pandemic, as elucidated in his Peste Magazine essay ‘Broken Sociality: Isolation in the Pseudo-Return to “Pre-Pandemic Normal”’.

The pandemic emergency has been declared over, both here in the United States, and by the World Health Organization. That does not mean the pandemic is over, but it marks an official end to an emergency level institutional response to it. Any sort of practical and enforceable mitigatory practices to reduce the spread of the virus has been firmly relegated to the past. To add insult to injury, the trauma or discomforts incurred over the past three years are often blamed on these public health measures themselves by high-status conservative and liberal commentators and so-called experts alike. Nevermind the millions dead, the global vaccine apartheid, the tens of millions disabled and those that continue to become disabled, and what those facts mean. The virus’s plethora of variants will continue to infect and reinfect the global population into the foreseeable future—a slow burn with grim long-term consequences.

When I read Nate Holdren’s essay on broken sociality and political and social loneliness as the “urgency of normal” takes precedence in the US, it struck a chord within me. He provided a language to describe my feelings and experiences at this stage of the ongoing pandemic. 

For those of us still masking and avoiding the plague, still keeping up on covid research to the best of our ability, and still admonishing our peers to be mindful of how our behaviors and decisions impact all of us, especially for the most vulnerable, oftentimes a gulf can and does emerge and deepen between our relationships with others that disregard these considerations. When an intrinsically collective health crisis is minimized, and in many cases, outrightly denied by our peers, day-to-day life becomes a lonely affair.

Nate Holdren is a legal historian of capitalism in the United States. He is the author of the book ‘Injury Impoverished: Workplace Accidents, Capitalism, and Law in the Progressive Era’ and teaches in the Program in Law, Politics, and Society at Drake University.

Nate Holdren: Social Murder, Depoliticization, & Finding The Common We

This episode was originally released for Death Panel patrons on November 21st 2022. We are re-releasing it today, alongside a new transcript of the conversation, because in the past few weeks we have found Jasbir’s work tremendously useful in understanding the enormity of what’s happening in Gaza.

Episode description: Beatrice and Jules speak with Jasbir Puar about the violent global effects of settler colonialism and how they shape our understanding of what we mean by “disability” and “debility.” We discuss how colonial occupation itself can be understood through a theory of debility, colonial constructions of who is labeled a "terrorist," and some of the most important insights from Jasbir's 2017 book The Right to Maim.

"I would tell your grandma it sounds like apple pie injected with gasoline," says producer Lord RAJA of his RAJA RADIO Sacred Space mix. The collection is released on the back of his remarkable debut album A Constant Moth, a dense 12 tracks of jerky breakbeats and heady aesthetics that range from glitch to footwork to house, released last month on Ghostly International. As his sound pulls you into stratospheric soundscapes and beyond it's clear from both the mix and the album that you're listening to someone operating totally outside of convention.
