Boszorkányok, gyógyítás és feminizmus – Barbara Ehrenreich nyomában
Az adásban a boszorkányoktól a biopolitikáig, a női test medikalizációjától a kvantumok ágenciájáig vezet az utunk.

Szó lesz arról, hogy miért válhatott a női test a hatalom terepévé, és hogyan köszön vissza mindez a mai wellnesskultúrában vagy a pozitív gondolkodás tömegkultuszában.

La escritora norteamericana Barbara Ehrenreich, advierte en su nuevo libro, Sonríe o muere (Turner, 2011), sobre ′la trampa del pensamiento positivo′. La autora observa cómo esta seudoideología, nacida en Estados Unidos, no sólo se ha confundido con la fe, sino que se presenta falsamente como la solución a la crisis y a la enfermedad. En su optimismo irredento, algunos pretenden que no falla el sistema, sino la actitud de cada uno. (Fuente: Entrelíneas)

Book Review: Bright-Sided by Barbara Ehrenreich
Being positive is a good thing, but sometimes it prevents people from seeing reality. Bright-sided by Barbara Ehrenreich is a book portraying the evolution of this toxic positivity. From its humble beginnings with Calvinism in the 1860s to today, toxic positivity rears its ugly head and people don't realize that it's here to stay. With everyone simply looking at the bright-side of things, reality takes a back seat until disaster imminently strikes. In today's podcast, Angelo and Olivia will review this process and give examples of what this looks like in today's society. As...

Smile or Die by Barbara Ehrenreich - Summary
Explores the tyranny of positive thinking, and offers a history of how it came to be the dominant mode in the USA. This book argues passionately that the insistence on being cheerful actually leads to a lonely focus inwards, a blaming of oneself for any misfortunes, and thus to political apathy. Ehrenreich conceived of the book when she became ill with breast cancer, and found herself surrounded by pink ribbons and bunny rabbits and platitudes. She balked at the way her anger and sadness about having the disease were seen as unhealthy and dangerous by health professionals and other...

De 'jij zegt wellness, ik zeg crashdieet’ Editie - Over millennials en de drang naar geluk en fysiek welzijn
Tegenwoordig is ‘wellness' veel meer dan de sauna. Deze editie duiken we in de triljoenenindustrie van vitamines, vasten, mindfulness, maankalenders, biohacking en zoutkristallen. We bespreken onze eigen ervaringen, de kruidenmannen en -vrouwen die hier een slaatje uitslaan en richten onze blik op de zoete en zure aspecten van de trend die ons wil doen geloven dat we allemaal de CEO van ons eigen geluk kunnen zijn. We raken afgeleid door de halvering van Adele en hoe we ons daartoe moeten verhouden. Verder leggen we uit waarom je een tussenjas moet kopen en wat de geneugten zijn v...

In the late 90s Barbara Ehrenreich went undercover as a waitress to discover how people with minimum wage full-time jobs were making ends meet. It turned out, they weren’t. Ehrenreich’s book Nickled and Dimed revealed just how dire the economic conditions of everyday working people were at a time when the economy was supposedly booming. It was a wake up call for many Americans at the time, including me who picked up the book as a curious college student. Since then Ehrenreich, a journalist by trade, has written on a vast range of topics from the p...

Annual visits to the doctor, constant medical tests—it all felt futile, or at least unnecessary. “It's in my nature to question everything,” she explains, “so in each case…I would do some research, and...
