Add to basketSoftcover. Condition: As New. Leichte Abnutzungen. The Point is a Chicago-based journal that publishes essays on contemporary life and culture twice a year. Blending criticism, memoir, and reviews, it challenges readers to see how ideas affect their daily lives. Early issues have explored topics such as living honorably on Facebook, insights from Thorstein Veblen on Goldman Sachs, dating advice from Stendhal, and why conservatives should engage with Marx. Each issue features a symposium with shorter pieces on a theme chosen by the editors, covering subjects like film, conservatism, and contemporary music. Issue 7 critically examines Christopher Lasch's relevance for today's social critics, the state of photojournalism in the Photoshop era, and a memoir reflecting on the ethics of writing about the deceased. It also critiques the narcissism of David Shields and his followers, alongside the conclusion of Jonny Thakkar's "Socialism We Can Believe In," which reflects on Margaret Thatcher's death. The symposium addresses the question, "What is Marriage For?" with contributions on both sides of the gay marriage debate, marriage as a microcosm of utopian politics, and its role in navigating aging and death. Additionally, it reviews the Coca Cola museum, the HBO series Enlightened, and the phenomenon of political outrage on the Left. The Letter from the Editors focuses on Security.
