/225/ Wokeistan & Lebanonworld ft. Karl Sharro
from Bungacast · host Bungacast
On sectarianism & identitarianism. Karl Sharro (@KarlreMarks) is back on Bunga to talk to us about his essay "The Retreat from Universalism in the Middle East and the World". Lebanon has been used as a model for other Middle Eastern countries, even though its confessional system is a disaster. But Lebanese-style sectarianism isn't a form of 'feudal' backwardness – in fact it represents a precursor of the multicultural and identitarian politics in the West. Who are the enemies of universalism today, East and West? And what sort of political projects are capable of rejuvenating secular universalism? See also: /141/ Oh Lebanon, What Now? ft. Rima Majed /198/ Universal India ft. Achin Vanaik –– Buy our book: The End of the End of History Subscribe to the podcast: patreon.com/Bungacast
