How pop culture monsters mythologize our worries about sexuality, nuclear war, race, and the other.

with Peter Bebergal

EV002: What Is ‘Idiology’?

Art and Politics in the 21st Century.

with J. F. Martel

In this presentation, J.F. examines how Reclaiming Art’s central ideas intersect with the political landscape of the 21st century. He argues that art—like the Alps—is fundamentally apolitical, yet it exerts profound political effects. The title’s neologism, “idiology,” refers to the figure of the idiot in Dostoevsky’s sense: a person who sees through ideology into the Real.
