In this, the second episode of my series on Isaiah Berlin and his scholarship and theories of Romanticism, I enter into a definition of Romanticism and begin my regular usage of visual film and textual examples.

More on this special series, here:In this, the 22st episode of “All About Aesthetics” I will begin a miniseries on Isaiah Berlin’s theory of Romanticism, taken from his important lectures in the 1960s at the National Gallery and elsewhere, and starting from his unequivocal assertion that Romanticism was “the single greatest shift in the consciousness of the West that has occurred”.

I will inquire into the many effects of this shift, most of which are taken for granted and have been indispensable to forming the works of art, both popular and high, that we have most enjoyed or given importance.

The series will include discussion of MGM musicals in Hollywood, melodrama films, novels, standup comedy, improvised jazz performances and much more.

#JoanDidion, #booklunch, #BlueNights, #GregoryDunne, #memoir, #MitchHamptonThe new release of the private writings of Joan Didion, "Notes to John" , inspired me to revisit her "Blue Nights" and do a Book Lunch multi part series. I will explore both the uniqueness of Joan Didion's style of prose when it takes as subject matter the most personal and intimate of life's events - in this case the loss of her daughter and husband as well as reflections upon her own impending mortality. As an added bonus in the series I will also devote some time to her husband Gregory Dunne's 1970s masterpiece Vegas, The series will explore all the many things that can be done in and with prose.#memoir #autobiography #privacy #literature #california #newyorkcity #hollywood #natasharichardson #tonyrichardson #johngregorydunne #dominickdunne #yearoflivingdangersously #therapy #psychology #recovery #suicide #grief #2000s #1990s #1980s #1970s #1960s #saturdadyeveningpost #thewhitealbum #hippie #haightashbury #summeroflove #1969 #losangeles #lilyanolik #charlesmanson #courtneylove #lsd #evebabitz #williambutleryeats #thesecondcoming #slouchingtowardsbethlelhem

It is always meaningful and helpful when a guest has undergone a similar significant experience as your host. In the case of our current guest this has been the passing of fathers.The subject of loss more generally (alongside achievement) is one of the greatest themes in all of art and I certainly relished the experience of being able to discuss matters most personal but in the context of creating those world of representation that we often call art.  

The opportunity to hear a poet read their own poems is also always one of the highest point on episodes like these. Thank you Miguel Eichelberger and Coldwater Communications for the opportunity to speak about this beautiful work.More about Miguel Eichelberger Miguel Eichelberger is a writer, communicator, and joyful mutineer. His creative work has appeared in literary magazines and on stages around the world. His most recent publications include Acta Victoriana, Harpur Palate, Rappahannock Review, Literary Review of Canada, and Plainsongs Magazine, and his poetry is a feature piece in the Ducktown Poetry Trail in Atlantic City, a collaborative art project between Murphy Writing and the Noyes Museum of Art of Stockton University that brings awareness to issues of social justice.Visit Miguel’s Website, here:https://www.migueleichelberger.com/More Miguel’s very special new work by , here:An exciting new release from Poetose that we believe will resonate deeply with your audience. In May 2025, Poetose will be publishing Everything Is, a powerful debut poetry collection by Vancouver-based writer Miguel Eichelberger.In this collection, Eichelberger confronts everything he encounters following the loss of his father with eyes-wide-open—a father who was a mentor, friend and model for living in this world. “No one has a roadmap, no language to consult when they meet real grief for the first time,” says Eichelberger, “just a limbic system on fire. Grief is trying to tell us something, but the way we view and understand death in a modern context tends to move us away from the profound gifts that can only be gathered when we sit in and feel every single piece of it.”

This isn’t a book written for poets or magazine editors, but for everyone. More than just a personal catharsis for the poet—it’s a universal companion for anyone navigating their own grief.One of the standout pieces in the collection, Self-Talk at the Wake, was nominated for Best of the Net, (available to be read on the Poetose website), and another, Come as Quick as You Can was long-listed for the 2024 Frontier Open Poetry Prize.Miguel Eichelberger is an accomplished writer whose work has appeared in literary journals around the world like Harpur Palate, Rappahannock Review, the Literary Review of Canada and Plainsongs Magazine. His plays have appeared on stages in the UK and Canada and he is a featured poet in the Ducktown Poetry Trail in Atlantic City, a collaborative art initiative focused on issues of social justice. As a writer, communicator, and “joyful mutineer,” Miguel is a gifted and heartfelt speaker on subjects too numerous to name.It is an important and timely read for anyone seeking power and wholeness through grief.#poetry #thefairequeen #canada #unitedstates #portugal #switzerland #linguistics #fucntion #style #verse #singersongwriter #folkmusic #rock #jazz $hiphop #rap #edmundspenser #family #generation #genx #millennials #everythingis #buddhism #catholicism #christianity #science #news #truth #romanticism #naturalscience #cosmology #astrophysics #astronomy #solarsystem #evolution #psychology #grief #therapy #jeanettewinterson #orangesarenottheonlyfruit #thepassion #france #england #queer #gender #sexuality #marriage #lesbianism #gaypride #education #editor #artsbroadcasting #books #audiobooks #creativity #artists

This will be the beginning of a series of episodes on Berlin’s innovative theory of “The Roots Of Romanticism” that Berlin explored in lectures delivered at the National Gallery Of Art in Washington DC 1966.Berlin was quite explicit in his assessment: “the largest recent movement to transform the lives and thought of the Western world and seems to me the greatest single shift in the consciousness of the West that has occurred, and all the other shifts which have occurred in the course of the nineteenth and twentieth century appear to me in comparison lessimportant and at any rate influenced by it.” Starting from the premise that there is a great deal of truth in Berlin’s theory, I will examine in these episodes not only the beauty of Berlin’s oratory but also the many world of art and culture that seem to be made possible by this shift in consciousness - even in areas not normally thought of of as in any way Romantic, as well as in vastly diverse mediums of expression, including music, stand-up comedy, performance art, movies and much more.#History #literature #movies #love #Hollywood #comedy #tragedy #freedom #liberty #classical #modern #postmodern #religion #spirituality #wordsworth #coleridge #keats #brightstar #lyricalballads #verse #isaiahberlin #russia #germany #France #uk #greatbritain #england #jazz #rock #africanamerican #existentialism #standupcomedy #tradition #thirtyyearswar #communism #fascism #ecology #environmentalism #intellectualhistory #culturalstudies #authenticity #sincerity #annaakhmatova #poetry #brontesisters #lordbyron #painting #caspardavidfriedrich #eletricguitar #powerballad #romance #feminism #democracy #liberalism #immanuelkant #rousseau #diderot #socialcontract #civility #manners #civillization #anarchism

#JeyOdin #comics #comicbooks #podcast #sequentialart #mitchhampton  @JeyOdin  #scad #Hammer

With this episode we have what I believe is our first guest from the world of illustrated comics. I really can't think of a better guest to discuss this universe. I found Jey to be an articulate and unusually accomplished artist, always finding a way to connect his projects to themes that matter to daily life while never pulling back from the imaginative and fantastic inventions that are the hallmarks of his style.  

I found this a most enjoyable conversation and hope the same for our audience.

More about Jey and his beautiful work:
