An historic contribution! This one brings a lot of currents together.

From the list of “currents”, dubious motives to say the least. Symptomatic of most TTC “Guides” of late.

This one is an oldie but a goldie. TTC don’t make em like this one anymore. Highly recommended for the history buff.

dubious motives? of late? This is old, like early TTC, the early 90s. Most of this course, Michael sugrue has uploaded the videos to his YT channel. Looking at the file list, pretty sure most of the videos can be found there. He basically uploads all his and Staloffs stuff. This specific course is absolutely phenomenal, one of the best TTC has done in my opinion. They should require all students to learn this stuff. Some of my favorite lectures out of any course, are in this set.
Of course the right wing loons who are opposed to education and actually learning about things might read their fantasy dubious motives into things, that are not there. Its literally a historical overview, zero motives at all. None of their course promote anything, certainly any kind of ideology or belief system. They are all pretty unbiased, general overviews of the related topics. Like a college course. Does not even mean the lecturers adhere to what they are talking about. Staloff and Sugrue have actually talked about this, that these are not their ideas or beliefs, they are just presenting them to you. Much of it they disagree with on a personal basis. But anything that says post in the title, mentions linguistics/structuralism/Hegel/Narrative/etc.., or includes stuff about Marx, etc.. god forbid we expose people to this stuff. We wouldn’t want people to actually learn the facts about these topics, that might contradict the brainwashed fake versions they have been fed. Marx being an excellent example.
