Rodrigo Nunes on a victory for fascism in Brazil
Rodrigo Nunes discusses Jair Bolsonaro's election victory in Brazil, Bolsonaro's background, the composition of his electoral coalition, the mistakes of the Brazilian Worker's Party, and the nature of the contemporary far right, with Alex Doherty on the Politics Theory Other podcast
Politics Theory Other is a biweekly political podcast. The show aims to bring the work of writers on the radical left to a broader public and to encourage popular engagement with work that is sometimes considered "academic" or "difficult". The show also aims to encourage engagement between the Marxist left and those working in the traditions of cultural studies and post-structuralist theory.
Recent shows have included episodes on Labour and anti-semitism (with Richard Seymour), Xenofeminism (with Patricia Reed), the financial crisis (with Adam Tooze), Silicon Valley and the democratisation of technology (with Wendy Liu), and Jeremy Gilbert on Maurizio Lazzarato and the reception of French theory in the anglophone world.
