On the Unhappiness of Being Greek
If Noam Chomsky and Gore Vidal have a Greek analogue, it is Nikos Dimou, one of the most fertile minds of his generation.
His book "The Unhappiness of Being Greek" was first published in 1975 and became an overnight bestseller in Greece and is currently in its 31st edition having sold over 110,000 copies. An instant bestseller in Germany (Kunstmann, 2012) where it has gone on to sell more than 25,000 copies, the book has also been published in France (Payot, 2012), Italy (Castelvecchi, 2012), Spain (Anagrama, 2012), and Turkey (Istos, 2013). It is available in English from Zero Books.

DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR ELIOT? If so leave a comment below!
Eliot Rosenstock is a therapist living in California who, for legal and theoretical reasons, will not be offering therapeutic advice on youtube. His new series "Ask Eliot" is an attempt to counter the Therapeutic Positivism given expression through conventional advice columns and self-help shows. The aim is to go beyond advice-giving to theory and emancipation, or if that proves impossible, then to provide a few laughs.

THE S
the-society-of-the-spectacle,-social
Since 1967 it has become more and more common to hear that we’re living in a spectacle. Matt Christman, for instance, mentions this often. Chris Hedges has talked about the Empire of illusion. Even the New York Times has referred to Debord’s concept as a way to explain the Trump years.
But just what is the Spectacle?
In this video, we’ll be considering just what those social relationships between people really are in themselves, and asking if images and information are the primary mediators. We’ll take up the question of the culture war as Spectacle by turning to Angela Nagle’s “Kill All Normies,” as we quote from Steven Paxton’s “Unlearning Marx,” and we’ll examine Debord’s critique of economism as we attempt to develop at least the beginnings of a new understanding of how the economy influences our cultural and political expression.

'DEEP
'deep-sniff'-with-adam-zmith
Adam Zmith reveals the long history of the quick rush from sniffing poppers.
3, 2, 1... inhale, deep. From the Victorian infirmary and the sex clubs of the 1970s, poppers vapour has released the queer potential inside us all.
This is the intriguing story of how poppers wafted out of the lab and into gay bars, corner shops, bedrooms and porn supercuts. Blending historical research with wry observation, Adam Zmith explores the cultural forces and improbable connections behind the power of poppers. What emerges is not just a history of pub raids, viral panics and pecs the size of dinner plates. It is a collection of fresh and provocative ideas about identity, sex, utopia, capitalism, law, freedom and the bodies that we use to experience the world.
In Deep Sniff, what starts as a thoughtful enquiry into poppers becomes a manifesto for pleasure.
