  • Proletarian Feminism / Police at Pride

    06/06/2017 Duración: 29min

    Proletarian Feminism is a Marxist approach to feminism that was brought forth by the Indian revolutionary Communist and writer, Anuradha Ghandy, in Philosophical Trends in the Feminist Movement. In her writing Ghandy examines the dominant variants of feminism, pulling the relevant elements and issuing critiques of what she see's as detrimental to the movement and women. What results is a feminism that sees the struggle against patriarchy as inherently linked to the struggle against capitalism, colonialism, imperialism, and racism, and transphobia.  In this episode we talk to Jayelyn and Elizabeth, two feminists and members of the Revolutionary Student Movement in Winnipeg, who recently organized a panel at the University of Winnipeg on Proletarian Feminism.  We also discuss the recent conversation surrounding the involvement of police officers at Pride.

    22/05/2017 Duración: 28min

    Over the last several years the rhetoric around "creativity" and the "creative class" has been embraced by both governments, NGO's and many in the arts community.

Max is the Canada Research Chair in Culture, Media and Social Justice at Lakehead University in Northwest Ontario and director of the ReImagining Value Action Lab (RiVAL). For more on Max's critique of "creativity" check out this artilce. http://artthreat.net/2012/10/privatizing-creativity/ Also check out Max's website- https://maxhaiven.com/ Like us on Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/radiofreewinnipeg/ Follow us on Twitter-  @Radio_Free_WPG
