2014 | LSE Public lectures and events | Audio and pdf ·

2014/11/13

Contributor(s): Professor Adam Swift | The family is hotly contested ideological terrain. Some defend the traditional two-parent heterosexual family while others welcome its demise. Opinions vary about how much control parents should have over their children’s upbringing. Adam Swift will discuss the ethics of parent-child relationships, telling us why the family is valuable, who has the right to parent, and what rights parents should -- and should not -- have over their children. Adam Swift is

The Greek Orthodox Church and the Economic Crisis

2014/11/12

Contributor(s): His Eminence Metropolitan Ignatius of Demetrias and Almyros | As historically a central pole of national identity, and with a new politics of nationalism evident, the way in which the Greek Orthodox Church is impacted by Greece’s economic crisis and how it responds to it is of major importance to the nation’s public and social affairs. The Bishop has a strong record of connecting the Church to contemporary social issues and of opening up to other faiths. This lecture will address

The Need to Censor Our Dreams

2014 | LSE Public lectures and events | Audio and pdf ·

2014/11/11

Contributor(s): Professor Slavoj Zizek | Critique of ideology should not begin with the critique of reality, but with the critique of our dreams. As Herbert Marcuse put it back in the 1960s, freedom (from ideological constraints, from the predominant mode of dreaming) is the condition of liberation. If we only change reality in order to realize our dreams, and do not change these dreams themselves, we sooner or later regress to old reality. The first act of liberation is therefore for us to become

Stalin's Team

Contributor(s): Professor Sheila Fitzpatrick | We know a lot about Stalin but less about the team – Molotov, Kaganovich, Mikoyan and the rest of a group whose membership was roughly but never quite equivalent to the Politburo – that surrounded him for 25 years. They went with him through collectivization, the Great Purges, the Second World War, and the travails of the postwar period, coming through the purges relatively intact but, in the case of Molotov and Mikoyan, barely surviving Stalin’s

What is the Welfare State? A Sociological Restatement

2014 | LSE Public lectures and events | Audio and pdf ·

2014/11/10

Contributor(s): Professor David Garland, Professor Nicola Lacey | What, in fact, is the Welfare State? Commentators talk as if it were an historic moment in post-war Britain or New Deal America. Academics discuss “the death of the social” and a shift “from social state to penal state” as if it had been displaced by neo-liberalism. This lecture traces the emergence of the welfare state as a specific mode of government, describing its distinctive rationality as well as its forms, functions and

2014/11/10

Contributor(s): John Micklethwait, Adrian Wooldridge | Is Britain falling behind in the global race to reinvent the state? Britain has led previous attempts to reinvent the state, from the Hobbesian security revolution of the 17th century, to the liberal, meritocratic revolution of the 19th century, to the welfare revolution of the early 20th century. We are now embarked on a new revolution, driven by IT, unsustainable debts and the rise of emerging markets. But Britain is much less well placed to

2014/11/07

Contributor(s): Professor Molly Greene, Professor Stathis N Kalyvas, Professor Vassilis Lambropoulos | The debt crisis has provoked new debate over Greece’s historical path and its identity. Was the crisis a result of it somehow being less ‘modern’ than previously thought? But what is ‘modern’ in this context? This question is especially acute given that Europe today is said to be experiencing its own existential crisis. If Greece has not followed such modernity, what has been its trajectory and
