On the disaster of the culture wars.
Regular contributor Catherine Liu is back on to talk about her essay in Damage, issue 2, "Professional Populists in the Culture Wars". We discuss:
-
What were the original 'culture wars' and how are they different to today?
-
Why are the "academic populists" more elitist than anyone?
-
Was there a need in the 1980s to "disrupt" the humanities?
-
Why does conservatism now need to wear "populist" clothes?
-
How should we defend the "canon"?
-
What is the "Catherine Liu Foundation for Attacking Badness"?
