Playlist for Show: Long Waves

This show continues the question regarding a phenomenology of a culture of lies, deceit, and willing acquiescence to accepting falsehood as normative.

It begins with a discussion of the transformations of structural changes to language which in turn affects the signs and symbols used as well the the semiological second order (i.e. “myth” in the sense used by Roland Barthes). Particular ways of talking, speaking, and writing construct and limit the topics and import of topics that are necessary for a political public sphere to exist. A part of this is the deliberately dissembling and divisive language of contemporary US politics.

The consequence to this is a Kafkaesque world of experience that cannot be mapped onto the words and meanings formed in other  times and places.

Examples drawn from Vineyard of the Saker, Paul Craig Roberts and other contemporary news items provide additional dialogue for discussion of this issue.
