Project Nim and Man On Wire | thelittletinker
https://thelittletinker.wordpress.com/2011/12/23/project-nim-and-man-on-wire
Just another WordPress.com site. Project Nim and Man On Wire. James Marsh’s 2008. Compelling documentary footage from the 1970s cut with here-they-are-now talking heads. Beautifully shot and put together. Massive WTF factor. Philippe Petit took on the full weight of both gravity and the law in a series of sanity-defying tightrope walks culminating in, or rather between, the Twin Towers. James Marsh’s 2010. Systemic functional linguistics (SFL). We Need To Talk About Kevin. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

Adam Curtis and the history of Marketing | thelittletinker
https://thelittletinker.wordpress.com/2012/09/18/adam-curtis-and-the-history-of-marketing
Just another WordPress.com site. Adam Curtis and the history of Marketing. The Century of the Self,. A four part documentary series made by Adam Curtis for the BBC, based on Stuart Ewen’s book. Post-war US govt, business and CIA used Freud’s ideas to control the “savage barbarism of the irrational driven masses”. Funny how Slavoj Žižek’s series. Pervert’s Guide to the Cinema. Uses very similar music (insistent, discordant) to suggest the raging horrors of the Freudian unconscious! In the Sixties, idea th...

Just another WordPress.com site. Imposing critical thinking on the world. My most recent job: Teaching Chinese postgrads how to think critically so that they can adapt to a Western model of tertiary education and get themselves an expensive and dumbed-down business MA at a UK university which then allows them to return to China and make loads of money, as their parents wish them to do. 8220;There is currently a growing recognition that the Western emphasis on critical thinking has a broader and deeper im...

Happiness machines and the engineering of consent | thelittletinker
https://thelittletinker.wordpress.com/2012/09/15/happiness-machines-and-the-engineering-of-consent
Just another WordPress.com site. Happiness machines and the engineering of consent. Some notes on Adam Curtis’. Century of the Self. To see if what he has to say has any bearing on notions of agency and identity, language and learning, technology and politics, culture and public/private spaces, in the context of critical thinking being an undesirable Western construct. Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) and his nephew Edward Louis Bernays (1891-1995). Was an unfashionable word so changed it to public relations.
