They also discuss many of Andrzej Żuławski’s other films, the Young Poland modernist movement, and the challenges of making cinema in Communist Poland.

Modernism in the arts, and particularly literature, has often been portrayed as a middle class pursuit, with certain literary critics focusing on the ‘elitism’ of the movement. But does this give a true picture of its social composition?

This week, Tom Overton talks to Nick Hubble about their new book The Proletarian Answer to the Modernist Question (https://euppublishingblog.com/2017/09/07/proletarian-modernism/), and about how the General Strike of 1926 (https://www.cambridge.org/core/books/writing-the-1926-general-strike/41A4BEF1FB2C099EEEFD60A5F14C0B80), the Equal Franchise Act 1928 and the Great Depression shaped working class forms of modernism during the 1930s.

Brian Eno's huge back catalogue of work as a solo musician, band member and producer goes back decades, including high-profile work with Roxy Music, Talking Heads, David Bowie, John Cale and many others. He is often credited with inventing ambient music, but this conversation between Juliet and Brian does not talk about the past. Instead, we focused on how Brian has adapted to new music, new technology, and neoliberalism, and what responsibilities artists have to acknowledge and use their cultural capital.

The Calais "Jungle", as it became known, was a refugee camp that held 10,000 people from Syria, Somalia, Eritrea and elsewhere between January 2015 and October 2016. This week, Tom Overton talks to Dan Hicks, Professor of Contemporary Archaeology at the University of Oxford, about a new exhibition (https://www.prm.ox.ac.uk/event/lande) and book that collects material, digital and visual artifacts from Calais, asking how these objects can help us understand the camp, and 21st century migration.

Isabel Waidner is a writer and critical theorist who has published two works of fiction with Manchester-based independent publisher Dostoyevsky Wannabe, edited an anthology of exploratory queer literature entitled Liberating the Canon, and who - with artist Richard Porter of Pilot Press (https://pilotpress.tumblr.com) - curates the Queers Read This series at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts.

This week, new Suite (212) co-host Lara Alonso Corona asks Isabel about queer and working-class representation in 'experimental' writing, how useful such labels are, and what queer authors can take from a modernist canon that is largely white, male, cisgender, heterosexual and middle-class.

Born into a Jewish family in Moscow in 1971, Yevgeniy Fiks moved to New York in 1994. His conceptual art reacts to amnesia about the USSR in the post-Soviet space, resisting nostalgia and commodification in favour of recovering repressed histories, especially those of LGBT and Jewish people; he also looks at the relationship with the USSR and the USA before and during the Cold War, and at histories of the American left, suppressed since the McCarthy witch-hunts.

In this Suite (212) Extra, Juliet talks to Yevgeniy about his exhibition Mother Tongue at London’s Pushkin House from March-May 2019, dealing with the underground slang spoken by Russian gay men in the 1970s and 80s, and his wider practice.

Since his violent death in 1975, Pier Paolo Pasolini remains internationally renowned as a filmmaker, but less known as a poet, journalist, critic and activist outside his native Italy. This week, Juliet talks to Italian author Daniela Cascella about Pasolini’s varied artistic practice, the persecution he suffered as an outspoken leftist and openly gay man, and the context of post-fascist, post-war Italy.

Where, and how, does nature writing intersect with architectural criticism? Urban exploration? Hauntology? Nationalism and fascism? This week, Tom Overton talks to writer and Influx Press co-founder Gary Budden about how his collection 'Hollow Shores' blends nature writing and weird fiction, his collaborations with filmmaker and fellow Influx author Adam Scovell and illustrator Maxim Peter Griffin, how writers as aesthetically and politically diverse as Derek Jarman and Henry Williamson have represented the English landscape, and more.
