Welcome to Baroque Sunbursts, a new series from Zer0/Repeater on Music, Culture, and Philosophy. For our inaugural episode Adam and Kyle are joined by Ravenna Hunt-Hendrix; Artist, philosopher, theologian, and musician most known for her seminal work with LITVRGY. Ravenna joins us to look back upon the opening salvo of her musical philosophy: 2009’s Transcendental Black Metal: A Vision of Apocalyptic Humanism. We’re going to be talking about the teeth-grinding, fist clenching experience of musical intensity, the Blast Beat and its Discontents, and how ideas spanning from Christology to Nietzsche and German Idealism have inspired her work up until today. Liturgy’s latest EP is As the Blood of God Bursts the Veins of Time, and their next album 93696 will be out in March 2023, by the time this comes out they’ll most likely still be on their US tour so go and see them! We talk about German Idealism, Operatic style, Negarestani's Neorationalism, Blast Beats vs Burst Beats, and Ravenna's takes on eschatology and dogmatics in the search for new religious epistemologies.

FULL EPISODE
How class division amongst Black Americans facilitated housing discrimination.
We will be joined by professor Preston Smith, II
About Dr. Smith:
Postwar black politics with an emphasis on housing and class. Inner-city neighborhood revitalization including economic development, affordable housing, quality public education, and equal and adequate delivery of municipal services
Preston Smith's research interests in urban studies and postwar black politics are reflected in his many publications and presentations. He has been published in such journals as the Journal of Urban History and edited volumes such as Without Justice For All. He has made presentations at Social Science History Association meeting, Center for the Study of Race, Inequality and Politics, Institute for Social Policy Studies, at Yale University, and The Centennial of W.E.B. DuBois’s Souls of Black Folks symposium at Williams College. His most recent book, Racial Democracy and the Black Metropolis: Housing Policy in Postwar Chicago (Univ Of Minnesota Press, 2012) examines housing debates in Chicago that go beyond black and white politics, showing how class and factional conflicts among African Americans actually helped to reproduce stunning segregation along economic lines.
Smith's commitment to urban studies led to his becoming Director of the Community-Based Learning (CBL) program at the Weissman Center for Leadership and the Liberal Arts. Smith's Involvement with CBL began with his development of an advanced seminar that utilized CBL pedagogy. In this class students interact with local communities through community-based research and service, allowing them to enhance their understanding of public concerns while fostering leadership and advocacy skills.
Smith is part of group who developed a faculty seminar that examines Puerto Rican history and culture in Holyoke, Massachusetts, and on the island. The unique feature of this seminar is that it combines area college faculty and community leaders from Holyoke. It is targeted to faculty and community-based organizations that collaborate on community-university partnerships. Since many of the families living in Holyoke are Puerto Rican, the seminar focuses on educating CBL students on Puerto Rican history and culture.
Smith believes that one of the ways to best teach politics is to be politically engaged. He is a member of the Interim National Council of the Labor Party, an independent political party that comes out of the labor movement. The Debs-Jones-Douglass Institute, which is the educational and cultural arm of the Labor Party, sponsors the Free Public Higher Education campaign. Smith is currently the co-chair of the Institute's national campaign, which asserts that higher education is a necessity in today’s

This video covers the facts around our recent run-in with youtube’s censorious algorithm, presents an excerpt from the upcoming Zero Books title “Other People’s Politics,” reconsiders Chomsky and Herman’s Propaganda Model, and describes some of the ideas of the liberal political commentator Walter Lippman, as we try to figure out a way forward in this highly controlled and censored moment.

In this video, we take excerpts from Eliot Rosenstock’s “Zizek in the Clinic” and the novel “Bash Bash Revolution” as we consider how leftists can avoid repeating the mistakes of the past. How can we avoid becoming the equivalent of Bond villains?
Along the way, we compare the Roger Moore films “Moonraker” and “The Spy Who Loved Me” and watch some archival footage featuring Charles Manson and Jim Jones.

This report from the Left Forum for 2018 attempts to synthesize two panels, one from the Platypus Affiliated Society and the other from the International Marxist Humanist Organization. Peter Hudis’ disagreement with the late Moishe Postone leads to the question- “Do we need a dictatorship of the proletariat?” or “What does the working class know?”
