EP32: Poetic Activism, Part 2: Eco-poetics and Critique of the Liver Sausage Method

Danny takes the Crew on a ride to his favorite music -- there are some surprises and prepare for some laughter. After this, Dan discusses eco-poetics, which involves reflecting on the meaning of “eco,” which means household in Greek. Eco-poetics, then, means a way of looking at the world and then writing poetry from that vantage point. Dan dissects a Gary Snyder poem as a case study in eco-poetics. Dave reads a Wendel Berry poem, and the Crew discuss the differences. Following this discussion, they shift to reflecting on the critical analysis of Ulrike Meinhof of the Rote Armee Fraktion, a far-left militant group in the 1970s. Meinhof’s analysis of the media as performative prefigured critical analysis of the media of the next decades.
