Neoliberalism’s fragmentary and atomising tendencies have gone too far. In response, some right-wingers have turned against the market.

What is the substance of these "culturally conservative" critiques, and do they offer anything new, beyond what people like Christopher Lasch advanced decades ago?

Is it about ideology? Race? Politics? So many of our discussions about extremism try to explain away the problem by reducing its complexity, but that brings us further and further away from actually solving it.Deeyah Khan is a British documentary filmmaker and human rights activist. She’s the creator of two extraordinary films airing on Netflix right now, White Right: Meeting the Enemy and Jihad: A Story of the Others. The films do a remarkable job of showing why these opposing brands of extremism are both similar and reciprocal, an...2019-03-111h 25

OrdvaletOrdvalet: ReligionsfrihetBegreppet religionsfrihet har förekommit i många debatter på sistone. De flesta berör islam och har handlat om allt från böneutrop till handskakning. Hur kommer det sig att religionsfriheten fått en särskild status i Europa och är islamofobi ett konstruktivt begrepp? Författaren och debattören Kenan Malik anser inte att religionsfriheten ska ha en upphöjd status utan att den ska betraktas som en frihet bland andra: samvetsfrihet, mötesfrihet, yttrandefrihet är lika viktiga. Han menar också att islamofobi-begreppet är kontraproduktivt. Victoria Enkvist är lektor i offentlig rätt vid Uppsala universitetet. Hon ä...2018-06-1600 min
Thinking AllowedThe White Working Class.The white working class - are they the left behind? Noam Gidron, a Fellow at the Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance at Princeton University, asks if the right wing, populist vote is a reflection of the declining social status of this group. He's joined by Gurminder Bhambra, Professor of Postcolonial and Decolonial Studies at the University of Sussex, who argues that a concern with economic disadvantage, when talking about the election of Trump, as well as Brexit, has led to a new 'identity politics' of race - one where class takes second place to 'whiteness'.

Academy of Ideas#BattleFest2016: Immigration - what is the future of free movement?Immigration was a key issue during Britain’s EU referendum. The success of the Leave campaign owed much to the belief that the UK has lost control over its borders. Many British citizens are resentful that their communities have undergone dramatic changes as a result of immigration policies about which they were not consulted. At the same time, there are humane, economic and political arguments for welcoming migrants. So why do we have borders at all? If the EU can manage with porous internal borders, why can’t the whole world? Do open borders really threaten the integrity of a dem...2017-02-241h 09

In this battle of alt right vs. regressive left, I feel some proprtionality has been lost, and really regressive ideas like racism, and nazism are downplayed to highlight "those crazy SJWs". Yes they're crazy....and we should call them out, but they are a tad better than nazis, come on!

Social policies in Belgium, France, and the United Kingdom aimed at fostering integration are all different. What they have in common, though, is that all have helped create a more fractured society, and all have helped entrench narrower visions of belongingness and identity. Neither assimilationist nor multicultural policies have created Islamism or jihadism. What they have d...2015-12-0918 min

Academy of Ideas#BattleFest2014: Our morals, their moralism?The charge of ‘moralism’ or ‘moralising’ is
always complicated. Nobody endorses immorality, we all know the
difference between moralism and morality. Or do we? The former implies
an unattractive self-righteousness; the latter is ‘the real thing’. But
without righteousness, does morality have any meaning? The obvious
danger with rejecting moralism is that we abandon any attempt to talk
about right and wrong. Indeed, contemporary culture seems uncomfortable
with the language of morality. Terms like good, bad, right, wrong,
should, should not, duty and obligation are often seen as moralistic
‘tut tutting’ that unfairly stigmatises people.
To some extent, the kind...2014-12-121h 14

His play, based on Homer's epic, reveals how cycles of conflict and revenge, pride and self-deception continue throughout history. Greek myth is at the heart of a new opera, Thebans, in which the playwright and poet Frank McGuinness draws on the tragedy of the mythical monarch Oedipus and his daughter Antigone. Natalie Haynes explores what happens when troubled teenagers become enthralled by Greek tales of cruel fate and bloody revenge in her debut novel, while Kenan Malik goes on a quest for...2014-05-0242 min
