Conversation Summary
Conversation Summary
In this episode, in conversation with Max Haiven, we discuss how his understanding of radical imagination has changed after 10 years since the publication of The Radical Imagination: Social Movement Research in the Age of Austerity.
How has the radical imagination been used by others? How does it inform Max’s other research interests and latest projects, including the development of radical analogue games? And what does it mean to this project? Finally, we wrap-up by calling for a new internationalism based on solidarity between bottom-up initiatives around the globe.
This episode in a way forms a foundation for the rest of this conversation series, as it has a much more theoretical underpinning and hopefully frames my interest and approach in relation to the radical imagination.
