| The Dumbing-Down of Political Language - Susan Jacoby |
 |
Complete video at:
http://fora.tv/2008/04/24/Susan_Jacoby_on_The
_Age_of_American_Unreason
Author Susan Jacoby criticizes the
degeneration of language within politics and
the use of "folks" in the 2008 United States
primary debates.
------
Writer and scholar Susan Jacoby is sure to
raise some hackles with The Age of American
Unreason - an unsparing jeremiad that attacks
the dumbing-down of the American public.
Jacoby's area of study is US intellectual
history, though she worries that the field is
becoming a moot point in the face of our
country's pervasive "infotainment" complex.
As politics get folded into entertainment,
she argues, so too does morality become
indistinguishable from consumerism. Though
hardly the first to bemoan the pitfalls of
mass culture, Jacoby's portrait of American
anti-intellectualism is especially germane in
the middle of an election year - Booksmith
Susan Jacoby is the author of The Age of
American Unreason. She began her writing
career as a reporter for The Washington Post,
and has been a contributor to a wide range of
periodicals and newspapers for more than 25
years on topics including law, religion,
medicine, aging, women's rights, political
dissent in the Soviet Union and Russian
literature.
Jacoby has been the recipient of grants from
the Guggenheim, Rockefeller and Ford
Foundations, as well as the National
Endowment for the Humanities. In 2001-2002,
she was named a fellow at the Center for
Scholars and Writers at the New York Public
Library. Jacoby's other books include
Freethinkers: A History of American
Secularism (2004); Wild Justice: The
Evolution of Revenge, a Pulitzer Prize
finalist in 1984, and Half-Jew: A Daughter's
Search for Her Family's Buried Past.
