Thu, 12 Feb 2026
Covering significant events like the UN Climate Change Conference and the World Economic Forum. The text highlights Thunberg's arguments for urgent climate action, emphasizing the scientific consensus on global warming and the rapidly diminishing carbon budget. She consistently advocates for treating the climate crisis as an immediate emergency, criticizing political leaders for inaction and prioritizing economic growth over environmental stability. Thunberg, who has Asperger's, describes it as a strength allowing her to see the crisis in "black and white" terms, urging adults to unite behind the science and empower younger generations who are directly affected by these decisions.

Nightmare Factories: The Asylum in the American Imagination

Wed, 11 Feb 2026
Explores the evolving portrayal of mental asylums in American popular culture, tracing their transformation from gothic "nightmare factories" in early literature to complex metaphors for societal control and paranoia in film. It examines how historical events, medical practices, and shifting social anxieties—such as those surrounding democracy, gender, race, and the Cold War—shaped these depictions. The text highlights how authors and filmmakers, from Edgar Allan Poe to Ken Kesey and the creators of horror franchises like Halloween, have used asylums to critique various societal issues and to represent internalized psychological struggles alongside external threats. The analysis also touches on the influence of key figures and movements, including Freudian psychoanalysis and the anti-psychiatry movement, on the cultural understanding and representation of mental institutions and illness.

No Longer Human

Mon, 09 Feb 2026
Keene discusses the novel's critical reception and the interplay of Western and Japanese culture within Dazai's work, noting the common misconception that Japanese adoption of Western elements signifies a lack of cultural purity. The introduction also touches on Dazai's portrayal of alienation and the protagonist Yozo's internal struggles, highlighting the novel's semi-autobiographical nature and artistic merit. Following this, the "Prologue" introduces Yozo through a series of disturbing photographs, suggesting a profound disconnect from human authenticity, leading into Yozo's "First Notebook" where he recounts his lifelong inability to comprehend or connect with others, often resorting to clowning to navigate social interactions and revealing deep-seated fears and a sense of being fundamentally "disqualified as a human being." The narrative continues with his experiences in Tokyo, including his involvement with art, drinking, prostitutes, and a Communist "Reading Society," all while maintaining his facade and feeling an inherent distance from conventional human life, eventually leading to a suicide attempt, a stay in a mental hospital, and a final, bleak assessment of his existence. The "Epilogue" provides an external perspective from an acquaintance of a bar madam, who shares Yozo's notebooks and photographs, offering a brief, sympathetic, yet ultimately detached view of his tragic life.

Nightmare Alley: Film Noir and the American Dream

Sun, 08 Feb 2026
Examine the American Dream and its inherent contradictions. The texts analyze how noir cinema frequently portrays individualism and the pursuit of happiness as leading to alienation and pre-determined fates, often through the struggles of protagonists grappling with societal obstacles rather than just personal flaws. A significant portion of the discussion focuses on identity and self-reinvention, highlighting how various noir films depict characters attempting to escape their pasts or adopt new personas, often with limited success or through morally ambiguous means. Furthermore, the collection addresses themes of memory and trauma, particularly in the context of World War II veterans, as well as the depiction of gender roles, class inequality, and the influence of jazz music within the genre, sometimes connecting these elements to the historical context of the Hollywood blacklist and critiques of unchecked capitalism.
