Breaking Culture Live is hosted by Sean Johnson Andrews. Each week we talk to a cultural studies scholar about the breaking news and their latest work in the field. We especially draw upon activists, professors, and graduate students affiliated with the Cultural Studies Association (CSA) or authors published in the CSA's jounal, Lateral. We also regularly share video lectures that use media and cultural theory to analyze a case study. Please subscribe to the channel to get regular updates. Sean Johnson Andrews is Associate Professor Emeritus of Cultural Studies at Columbia College Chicago. He is the Past President of the Cultural Studies Association.

why are all Bhimbetka paintings lazily pushed into deep prehistory?

Here’s the part nobody wants to say:

Not all dhotis are the same.

Early India knew **tight, movement-based wraps**.
Later India popularised the **round dhoti**.

This figure?
Clearly the former. Not the latter.

So where does it belong?

Not “10,000 BCE”.
Not “recent round-dhoti era”.

Somewhere we’re not properly dating.

And that’s the problem.

Is covering oppression?
Or a lost aesthetic language?

Both images are not opposites.
They are performances.

Different systems. Same control.

One encodes sensuality within fabric.
The other displays it through absence.

So the real question is not East vs West.

Who defines the code?
And who benefits from it?

Un des films les plus puissants et agissants que j'ai vu ces dernières années, "#Soundtrack to a coup d'état" est en lecture libre.
"Ce film met en lumière comment la monarchie belge, le gouvernement des États-Unis et les multinationales se sont entendus pour utiliser des musiciens de jazz légendaires comme couverture pour des opérations secrètes visant à assassiner le premier ministre du Congo, Patrice Lumumba." Mais aussi comment il y a 60 ans, les dirigeants occidentaux ont vu comment le reste du monde était proche de les déborder, et quelle masse de violence ils ont dû déployer pour mettre ce volume d'émancipation sous le couvercle.

"Somos una parte del ecosistema, puedes mejorar la salud de ese sistema para hacerlo menos vulnerable, pero no puedes deshacerte de los virus, siempre estarán ahí... ¡mira cómo criamos a los animales [en sistemas industriales] empaquetados esperando el próximo virus!"

“We are a part of the ecosystem, you can improve the health of that system to make it less vulnerable, but you can’t just get rid of viruses, they will always be there… look at how we raise animals [in industrial systems] packed up waiting for the next virus!”

"Espero que esto sea un incentivo para darse cuenta a nivel estatal, que esto se acabó, no puede seguir, aprovechemos este lío para reorganizarnos porque toda la base está podrida... No creo que deba ser todo global o todo local, pero se necesita espacio para todo"

“I hope this is an incentive to realise at the state level, that it’s over, it cannot go on, let’s use this mess to reorganise because the whole base is rotten… I don’t think it should be all global or all local, but you need space for everything”

"Este trabajo me ha conectado con la tierra, ahora sé lo que está disponible localmente, de dónde vienen los alimentos, eso es lo que quiero traer a la gente... eso es lo que ha sido un regalo con esta crisis".

“This work has connected me to the land, I now know what is available locally, where food comes from, that’s what I want to bring to people… that is what has been a gift with this crisis.”
