PODCAST #125

André Tosel nous parle de ⁠La Cité future⁠ et du J⁠ournalisme intégral⁠. Ces deux ouvrages d’Antonio Gramsci publiés aux Éditions Critiques questionnent le rôle de la presse et plus largement des médias auprès des masses exploitées.
Né en 1941 et décédé en 2017, André Tosel était philosophe et grand spécialiste de l’oeuvre de Gramsci. En 2016, quelques mois avant sa disparition il rédigea le préface à
l’édition française de ⁠La Cité future.⁠ Dans cet entretien il nous présente la conception exigeante et émancipatrice que Gramsci se faisait de la presse.

La Cité future et le Journalisme intégral d'Antonio Gramsci avec André Tosel

1982 Revisited again. We’ve also re-worked Hogg’s riff from ‘Even If You Dream', which he co-wrote with Jack Hues back in the Huang (not Wang) days. Never happy with the way that song turned out so we’ve taken a different approach to this funky riff. Any long march requires pacing. Initial enthusiasm or fear needs to be calmed if you’re to make it to the end. This is true whether you’re seeking safety and shelter (thinking of Gaza and our Irish forebears), remission from illness, taking the long march through life in general, or that longer, seemingly impossible haul towards the end of capitalist hegemony. We dedicate this stompy disco march to Antonio Gramsci and all political prisoners, therefore.

The Long March

This week, Jon Mackenzie of Tifo Football joins Tom and Juliet to indulge in some Maoist self-criticism, or at least to talk about the tactical development of football over the last twenty years, its increasing use of data and the rise of media platforms that provide complex analysis of top-level matches and clubs. They discuss the demystification of football with relation to thinkers from Gramsci to Hegel, the current media environment around the sport and how Tifo feed into it, the role of imperialism in the spread of football, and what might be the next big tactical innovations as Guardiola’s Manchester City falter.

Jon and Juliet also discuss watching football abroad, from Freiburg to Northern Cyprus, the insights it offers into different cultures and politics, and the surprising opportunity it sometimes provides to see one-time Premier League stars again.

In the News, we look at UEFA’s decision to award the 2027 under-21 European Championship to a joint bid between Albania and Serbia, and Crawley Town getting accused of violating the Modern Slavery Act. Meanwhile, in our football weekends, Tom talks about his Under-8s team getting promoted and having to learn the harsh realities of playing at a higher level, Juliet describes Norwich’s resurgent form in the absence of “the most talented six-year-old you’ve ever seen”, and Jon talks about going to the Emirates Stadium to analyse Arsenal’s thumping victory over Manchester City.

La actualidad del pensamiento de Antonio Gramsci

La lucha, según esa idea gramsciana, ocurre en el interregno entre lo que agoniza y lo que aún no termina de nacer.

Diego Enrique Osorno. ¿Por qué luchar, Mr. Tyson?

Donald Trump'ın siyasal stratejisinde Marx, Lenin ve Gramsci'nin gölgeleri dolaşıyor olabilir mi? MAGA'nın söylemleri, radikal solun yıkıcı fikirlerini yeniden mi üretiyor? Benzerlikler, hem sol hem sağ için düşündürücü.

Trump, solun ideolojik silahlarını mı kullanıyor?
