The Master and His Emissary - McGilchrist Iain

A pioneering exploration of the differences between the brain⠙s right and left hemispheres and their effects on society, history, and culture⠔⠜one of the few contemporary works deserving classic status⠝ (Nicholas Shakespeare, Times, UK)  ⠜Persuasively argues that our society is suffering from the consequences of an over-dominant left hemisphere losing touch with its natural regulative ⠘master⠙ the right. Brilliant and disturbing.⠝⠔Salley Vickers, a Guardian Best Book of the Year  ⠜I know of no better exposition of the current state of functional brain neuroscience.⠝⠔W. F. Bynum, Times Literary Supplement  Why is the brain divided? The difference between right and left hemispheres has been puzzled over for centuries. Drawing upon a vast body of brain research, the renowned psychiatrist, author, and thinker Iain McGilchrist reveals that the difference between the two sides is profound⠔two whole, coherent, but incompatible ways of experiencing the world. The detail-oriented left hemisphere prefers mechanisms to living things and is inclined to self-interest, while the right hemisphere has greater breadth, flexibility, and generosity.  In the second part of his book, McGilchrist takes the reader on a journey through the history of Western culture, illustrating the tension between these two worlds as revealed in the thought and belief of thinkers and artists from the ancient to the modern, from Aeschylus to Magritte. He ultimately argues that, despite its inferior grasp of reality, the left hemisphere is increasingly taking precedence in today⠙s world⠔with potentially disastrous consequences.

The Greengrocer and His TV : The Culture of Communism after the 1968 Prague Spring - Paulina Bren

The 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia brought an end to the Prague Spring and its promise of socialism with a human face. Before the invasion, Czech reformers had made unexpected use of television to advance political and social change. In its aftermath, Communist Party leaders employed the medium to achieve normalization, pitching television stars against political dissidents in a televised spectacle that defined the times. The Greengrocer and His TV offers a new cultural history of communism from the Prague Spring to the Velvet Revolution that reveals how state-endorsed ideologies were played out on television, particularly through soap opera-like serials. In focusing on the small screen, Paulina Bren looks to the normal of normalization, to the everyday experience of late communism.

The Intellectual and His People - Jacques Ranciére

A classic collection of essay by Jacques Ranciere, that focuses on the ways in which radical philosophers understand the people they profess to speak for. The Intellectual and His People engages in an incisive and original way with current political and cultural issues, including the discovery of totalitarianism by the new philosophers, the relationship of Sartre and Foucault to popular struggles, nostalgia for the ebbing world of the factory, the slippage of the artistic avant-garde into defending corporate privilege, and the ambiguous sociological critique of Pierre Bourdieu. As ever, Rancière challenges all patterns of thought in which one-time radicalism has become empty convention.
