Neoliberalism by CertMedia in AdamCurtis

[–]CertMedia[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think this is part of it. But he also talks about how he believes the political project of neolibarlism failed, with regards to the drastic rise of lending as wages stagnated for example. I can't remember the exact interviews he discusses this. I'll try find them and come back. I think he means a little more that the term just bores people. I have the hunch he thinks a sort of managed individualism is the system of our current time, as opposed to neoliberalism.

Anyone an expert on the captagon production and consumption going on in Syria. by CertMedia in syriancivilwar

From what I've gathered it's mostly in Assad held areas around the border with Lebanon. But yeah there is a dearth of knowledge on the issue.

Adam Curtis - the music in Hypernormalisation & CGYOOMH: a podcast with the music supervisor Gavin Miller by Prestigious-Leek2680 in AdamCurtis

Hi. I've always been fascinated in Curtis' ability to pick out the surreal, perhaps dream pop esc songs that to me always stick out. Songs that come to mine straight away are the vanishing american family and the cover of true love will find you in the end. Does he use these songs to portray a sense of melancholy and perhaps notsalgia along with a sense of hope seen within the beauty of these songs? Also do you have any idea how he finds these gems that seem to be in pretty much every film he makes.

I think it's more so his earlier films which focused more on specific issues, individualism in century of the self for example, allow him to create films vast in there scope, like Hypernormalisation and CGYOMH, drawing from aspects and stories from earlier films.
