Choices, choices

Some interesting stuff on choice from R4 Thinking Allowed, if that is, you choose to listen to it. Renata Salecl, Centennial Professor at the Department of Law at the London School of Economics & Senior Researcher at the Institute of Criminology at the Faculty of Law in Ljubljana, Slovenia, researches dating sites, self help books and people’s relationship to celebrity, and uncovers the complexities involved in the choices we make and how they often lead to disquiet.
I think it is Zygmunt Bauman (perhaps taking some inspiration from Foucault) who points out that in contemporary society we are forced to choose.
No posts likely for the next few days as I will be away for a short period.
