the anthrotographer

‘the anthrotographer’ is a pod interested in studying the human condition and creating new media inspired by what's learned. We enjoy discussing weighty themes in films, books, history, current events or whatever the hell else interests us. With some educational background in both Anthropology & Video Production (plus amateur independent researching) hopefully what is created both provokes thought and is informed. anthrotographer.substack.com

    12 - Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Session #2

    On this episode of the anthrotographer we continue to breakdown the classic 1968 book Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire. We start halfway into chapter 1 and finish out the chapter in this episode. The next episode or two will focus on chapter 2. This will be a multiple episode series, made way better with voice over work by the lovely Nicole. Freire's book dives deep into the power dynamics of the modern world, where we have an 'oppressor' class and an 'oppressed' class. He analyzes the psychology that breeds this relationship and the educational system that is bedrock of it, while presenting a more humanizing and revolutionary education model.

    10 - Ranting about the World!

    I’ve been frustrated about different political happenings and trends so this turned into a bit of a rant at times. I jump from one idea to another pretty quickly (partly due to some editing decisions as well), but hopefully it’s a cohesive listen. Here are the list of topics: (1:00) power of conversation, (3:30) the sadism of oppressors, (5:40) stress associated with relationships, (10:30) Palestine/Israel: they are justifying genocide, (15:13) debunking Kamala, Trump & the media’s lies, (26:45) Israel’s pager attack on Lebanon, (29:15) U.S./Israel breaking laws of war, (30:45) American Nazism, (36:00) what is democracy, and its connection to sustainability, (45:00) Indigenous wisdom.

    8 - Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Session #1

    On this episode of the anthrotographer I start a long form breakdown of the classic 1968 book Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire. I manage to get through the preface and halfway into chapter 1. This will be a multiple episode series. Freire's book dives deep into the power dynamics of the modern world, where we have an 'oppressor' class and an 'oppressed' class.

    7 - In the Time Machine w/ Ryuichi Sakamoto to Witness the Death of Stalin

    On this episode of the anthrotographer I wanted to share some music by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Cho Young-Wuk (1:00m). Part of my review of the famous story by H.G.Wells; 'The Time Machine' (7:25m). This story really made me go on a tangent on what TIME even is (15:00m). Following on that thread I discuss a documentary called 'The End of Time' (24:20m). My review of the new Zendaya movie 'Challengers' (26:00m). Another film review about 'The Death of Stalin' (31:00m). Let me also introduce a special guest, my buddy Santi (40:40m). We sit and talk about some music but also if ART should be seperated from the Artist. Links: * Challengers Review * The Time Machine Review * (IG) @theblack_jacobin * (Web) anthrotographer.com * (Substack) the anthrotographer * (X) @anthrotographer * (Instagram) @thee.anthrotographer * (YouTube) the anthrotographer Music: * ‘Dream’ by Ryuichi Sakamoto * 'Cries and Whispers' by Cho Young-Wuk This is a public episode.

    5 - Ceasefire Now, Parkland Vigil & Profits Over Life

    On this episode of the anthrotographer I cover a recent protest that I attended. It was a protest/vigil honoring those that were killed in the 2018 Parland, FL mass shooting and those that have been killed in Gaza in recent months. Vice President Kamala Harris was visiting Marjory Stoneman Douglas Highschool recently and this event focused on protesting the U.S. government, which she leads, that values the profits of weapons manufacturers above human life. To skip my long winded intro go to (11:00).  Listen to what the people at the event had to say. You'll hear from Palestinians, past MSD students, and many other concerned Americans.

  9. 4 - Palestine/Israel, Political Lives of Dead Bodies & I Am Cuba

    FEB 21

    4 - Palestine/Israel, Political Lives of Dead Bodies & I Am Cuba

    The word of the week is; Interesting. In this episode of 'the anthrotographer' I spoke on some thought provoking movies I've seen recently, the first being 'Planet of the Apes' (3:45). A sci-fi classic that in a way humbles humanity in its portrayal of our devolution. I felt compelled to talk about the most important active event in world affairs; the genocide happening in Palestine (20:45). I try to discuss it in a thoughtful way with some historical context. But a better podcast to check out on the subject is 'Bad Faith'. I spend some time talking about some passages in the book 'The Political Lives of Dead Bodies' (40:25). And finish off with some ramblings on the classic 1960s film 'I Am Cuba' (55:20).

    3 - Weed Dependency, White Men Can't Jump & The Sixth Extinction

    In this episode of 'the anthrotographer' I spoke on Marijuana dependency both in a personal way and referencing the scientic evidence. I give my thoughts on the classic basketball movie 'White Men Can't Jump'. And finally go over one of my favorite books called 'The Sixth Extinction'. It is an eye opening and scary read that should act as a great wake up call for humanity. Music: 'Stay Blessed' by Genesis Owusu This is a public episode.

    2 - Planet of the Humans, Oppenheimer & The Jungle

    In this recording I start out by talking about the medium of podcasting and how other shows inspired me to get into it. Then I spend the majority of the pod discussing a few powerful films I've seen recently. 'Planet of the Humans' is a documentary about climate change, the effects of human expansion and the dissapointing and doom inducing realities of the "green energy movement". 'Oppenheimer' is another one where I get into the awesome power of the bomb and human fallibility. There is a small music jam session in the middle there. I play a clip or two of the renowned scientist James Lovelock answering questions about the future of earth's habitability. And finally at the end I review a few chapters of Upton Sinclair's famous novel 'The Jungle'. Of which I will revisit in a future episode. I know, it's a bleak rundown. Not every episode will be like this. Music: 'Gretel' - Alex G This is a public episode.

  12. 1 - Octopus Plants, Intellectual Property, & Manufacturing Consent Pt. 1

    09/27/2022

    1 - Octopus Plants, Intellectual Property, & Manufacturing Consent Pt. 1

    This was the first episode so I was a bit nervous and novice to the process. I talked about a striking invasive tree that I found in my neighborhood. Then I covered for the majority of the episode Noam Chomsky's documentary called 'Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media'. It is an eye opening film about how we are all under a sort of thought control that benefits an unequal and imperialistic society. It's heavy stuff and I will revisit it in the next few recordings probably. I also went on a tangent about the concept of Intellectual Property because it feels like a ridiculous inhumane concept.
