Bizarre to see Novara have such a Corbyn-hater on. In my book she's like a lean-in Herstory social lib or something.

Cleaning becoming high status: I was told an anecdote from East Germany where cleaning became high(er) status.tus

When fancy cleaning machines were imported to East Germany from West Germany, the cleaning work force became male, and wages for cleaners rose!

In the first #ACFM Trip of the year, Nadia Idle, Jeremy Gilbert and Keir Milburn look at the conflicting desires and demands that make up a political movement. Is unity possible? Is coalition desirable? Do we need to agree in order to win?

The gang discuss the difference between liberal and radical conceptions of identity and gaze out towards the communist horizon with help from Gilles Deleuze and Jodi Dean and musical selections from Desmond Dekker, Roy Ayers and Fela Kuti.

Look out for the accompanying Microdose interview with actor and activist Norah Lopez Holden on the women who fought in the Spanish Civil War and the feminist dynamics of the Popular Front.

Music: Desmond Dekker - 'Unity' / Blue Mink - 'Melting Pot' / Byron Morris & Unity - 'Reunion' / Graham Reynolds – 'The Difference Engine' (Demián Gálvez Remix) / Roy Ayers & Fela Kuti – '2000 Blacks Got To Be Free'

Books and articles: Katrina Forrester - 'By Leaps or by Federation: Two Paths to Left Unity' / Paulo Gerbaudo - The Digital Party: Political Organisation and Online Democracy / Jodi Dean - The Communist Horizon / Gilles Deleuze - Difference and Repetition

#ACFM Trip 21: Unity and Difference

Throughout history, countless good ideas have been side-lined or dismissed because they were put forward by women. 

That's the eternal frustration that motivates historian Katrine Marçal, who delves into her myth-busting research for a Microdose episode all about the missed turns of technology.

In conversation with ACFM host Nadia Idle, the author of <a href="https://uk.bookshop.org/books/mother-of-invention-how-good-ideas-get-ignored-in-an-economy-built-for-men/9780008430771"><em>Mother of Invention: How Good Ideas Get Ignored in an Economy Built for Men</em></a> and <a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/who-cooked-adam-smiths-dinner/katrine-marcal/saskia-vogel/9781846275661"><em>Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner?</em></a> lays out some of the questions and frustrations she's encountered in her studies. For instance, why did it take 5,000 years to put wheels on a suitcase? Why was the electric car rejected as too feminine when it was first conceived, a century ago? And how come all the early computer programmers and coders were women?

Look out for the next ACFM Trip on technology with Nadia, Jeremy Gilbert and Keir Milburn, landing in a few days.

ACFM Microdose: Women and Technology W/ Katrine Marçal

The coming recession will dwarf everything else in British politics this year. We speak to economist James Meadway about the hardship to come, and the government's response.

Plus: Starmer's campaign pledges catch him out again; Alex Jones screw himself over in court; and Sunak says the quiet part loud.

With Michael Walker and Aaron Bastani.

TyskySour: The Incoming Recession

Since Bernie Sanders’ failed attempt to become the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, there has been a reinvigoration of the left in the USA. This uptick has also been visible in the media, and nowhere more so than with the rise of Hasan Piker – arguably the most influential political voice on livestreaming service Twitch. Aaron Bastani caught up with Hasan to talk about the future of the left, how much he despises Nancy Pelosi, the difference between personal and private property, and how much he benches.

On the day that Liz Truss wins the Tory leadership content and thus becomes Britain's next Prime Minister Aaron Bastani and Ash Sarkar discuss what a Truss premiership means.

TyskySour: Liz Truss Is Now Britain’s PM

It’s one of the few things that the late anarchist anthropologist David Graeber and tech billionaire Peter Thiel agreed on: the sci-fi future we were promised has not materialised. Where are the flying cars? Where are the teleportation machines? And why, instead, do we just have 15 different ride-hailing apps to choose from?

In this episode of Downstream, Ash Sarkar sits down with technology writer Paris Marx, author of The Road to Nowhere, to talk about the future we were promised and the Silicon Valley fraudsters who stole it from us.

On Sunday, the World Cup kicks off in Qatar. How did a tiny dictatorship with a dismal human rights record, deadly summer temperatures and barely any football infrastructure end up hosting the world's biggest tournament? And what's a leftwing fan going to do about it?

Keir Milburn (Leeds United) and Tom Williams (Southampton) tackle the controversy in Pro Revolution Soccer – a five-part podcast series launching on 18 November. Tune in every Friday for expert guests and political punditry you won't find anywhere else.

Mean Flow & Marco Lucchi - Le Je-ne-sais-quoi et le Presque-rien

Nous sommes le 5 décembre 2023 à Paris, dans la librairie Tschann Montparnasse. Il est 18h passé. Par une soirée ordinaire d'hiver, nous assistons à un échange singulier, saisi à la volée, au milieu des livres en piles. En compagnie de Marie-Madeleine Mervant-Roux (directrice de recherche au CNRS) et de Bastien Gallet son éditeur, Daniel Deshays, praticien multiple du son, chercheur lui-même, explore en 75 minutes quelques-unes des thématiques nombreuses qu'aborde son dernier ouvrage "Libertés d'écoute : le son comme véhicule de la relation" publié aux éditions MF. L'écoute comme paradigme de l'attention, le caractère fragile de celle-ci, ses modalités de production, d'apparition et de disparition dans les contextes de la narration audio, au cinéma, au théâtre et à la radio... l'importance de la coupure et de la discontinuité dans les écritures du sonore... la poésie du monde que captent les micros, etc. La force de l'enregistrement, le partage du sensible, etc. Sans rien discriminer, l'enregistreur capte les glissandi de la porte de la librairie qui signale l'entrée des visiteurs, tandis qu'au loin les véhicules de police déploient leurs sirènes, rue de Rennes. Un paysage sonore urbain et aléatoire tamisé par les livres, se dessine derrière le défilé des mots.
