“Swallowing the Future: Cynicism, Nostalgia, and Other Capitalist Techniques for Going Nowhere”

What if it’s too late to avoid some kind of ecological catastrophe? How might we begin to imagine alternative ways forward on such a horizon? What might it mean to collapse well?

Sponsored by the Henry Luce Foundation, Andrea Jain, professor of religious studies at Indiana University, will visit Case Western Reserve University to share her insights in the second of five lectures in the Finite Futures series.

Jain will present “Swallowing the Future: Cynicism, Nostalgia, and Other Capitalist Techniques for Going Nowhere” Thursday, Oct. 10, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in Clapp Hall, Room 108.

This lecture is free to attend; registration is not required.
