Listen "Immediacy (with Anna Kornbluh)"
Episode Synopsis
The HBS hosts discuss the style of "too late" capitalism with Anna Kornbluh. Immediacy would seem to be the defining cultural style of our moment. From video to social media and from autofiction to autotheory, the tendency is towards direct intensity of experience and away from the mediations of form, genre, and representation. What drives this turn to the immediate in art, culture, and even politics? What do we lose in this turn to immediacy? Anna Kornbluh, author of Immediacy: Or, the Style of Too Late Capitalism, joins us to discuss the effects of "disintermediation."Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/episode-130-immediacy-with-anna-kornbluh-------------------If you enjoy Hotel Bar Sessions podcast, please be sure to subscribe and submit a rating/review!
