Softcover Magazine. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. [JOURNALISM]. Editor: Jonathon Sturgeon. Contributors: Tarence Ray, Evan Malmgren, Matthew Shen Goodman, Hussein Omar, Tope Folarin, et al. "The Baffler Magazine, Jul-Aug 2021, No. 58. 'Secret Connexions.'" The Baffler Foundation, Inc.; New York, 2021. English language. Softcover perfect-bound magazine. 136 pages. Color illustrations. Text clean. Near Fine. No ISSN. "The epistemic weather is inclement. Possibly the most storm-damaged truth claim of all is the one that promises market exchange can provide a stable foundation for democratic life. Itâ??s this dying rumor of liberalism that Tope Folarin considers in â??Masters of Reality,â? the opening essay of this fifty-eighth issue of the magazine, where the childhood memory of a transaction gone wrong hints at the white arrangement of truth. In very much the same spirit, Tarence Rayâ??s â??United in Rageâ? has in its sights the web of myths thatâ??s pushed the opioid crisis in eastern Kentucky, a region plagued by the kind of transactional logic that has offered the poor not the truth but rather another means to die. Their mortal remains are often subject to yet more bureaucratic dealing, as we hear in Wendy Selene Pérezâ??s â??Letter From Texas,â? a story of migration, debt, and a familyâ??s struggle to repatriate a loved oneâ??s ashes to Mexico at the pandemicâ??s height. Mohammad Ali, meanwhile, writes of his experience reporting on Hindu vigilantes in Modiâ??s India, where a â??fringeâ? ideology has now become a constant threat to the countryâ??s Muslim population and journalismâ??s â??conventions of self-effacement and objectivityâ? are little match for the grief and fear endured by Muslim reporters.Famous men, in these conditions, act mysteriously, or much worse. In Hussein Omarâ??s survey of Edward Saidâ??s career, we see how a charismatic public intellectual can easily become a cipher for a biographerâ??s ideas about what matters. New York mayoral also-ran Andrew Yang, in Matthew Shen Goodmanâ??s analysis, likewise loses himself to competing truths, in this case about the political market-value of Asian American life. Madison Mainwaring dissects the horrors of ongoing sexual abuse in elite French cultural institutions, where men become rumors to evade detection, responsibility, and prosecution. We donâ??t know how to cut through this electrofogâ??to find what David Hume called â??the secret connexionâ? that explains why one event follows another. But we suspect whatever works will keep to the light of Jess McAllenâ??s â??The Anti-Antidepressant Syndicate,â? which uncovers Marxists and Scientologists alike in its effort to get to the bottom (or the top) of the anti-psychiatry debate. Or Evan Malmgrenâ??s strange trip into the Quiet Zone of those living in fear of 5G. Or Marlowe Granadosâ??s defense of the bimboâ??a figure in pop culture who is always beset by nasty rumors. Or J.W. McCormack and John Semleyâ??s inquiries into the fiction of Don DeLillo and Thomas Pynchon, respectively, or new fiction from Alexandra Kleemanâ??all consulted or presented here, but never made into an instrument, a smokescreen, or even a rumor.".
