Episode notes
From Movement to Moment Politics
- Movement politics, focusing on grand narratives and utopian visions, is giving way to moment politics.
- This shift reflects a move away from 20th-century linear narratives towards a more fragmented and present-focused approach.
Television and Globalism
- Television fostered globalism through shared narratives and simultaneous experiences.
- This globalism had both positive (e.g., Reagan's call to tear down the Berlin Wall) and negative (e.g., rise of transnational corporations) consequences.
The Internet's Disruption of Narrative
- The always-on nature of the internet disrupts linear narratives, leading to present shock.
- This shift is exemplified by shows like "Beavis and Butthead" and "The Simpsons," which emphasize moment-to-moment connections over overarching plots.
