/401/ Modernity is Very Gay ft. Roger Lancaster
On Mexico, class, and sexuality.
We welcome anthropologist Roger Lancaster onto the pod to talk about his new book, The Struggle to Be Gay – in Mexico, for Example.
We discuss:
How much is being gay tied to being modern? And conversely, how much of globalized culture is itself "gay"?
Do you need to be middle class to be gay?
Why did neoliberalism provide more sexual freedom than corporatism in Mexico?
How was Mexico ahead of the US in introducing ‘progressive neoliberalism’?
Is now a time of freedom, or should we think of it differently?
In part two, we discuss AMLO's "synthetic" presidency, and the way peasant conservatism in central America has traditionally provided a boost to radicalism – and ask whether this is still the case.
