4:30 PM Dr. Carmine Sarracino Professor of English, Elizabethtown College co-author of The Porning of America. From the popular Bratz dolls to the infamous photos from Abu Ghraib, The Porning of America reveals that porn has become the mainstream—and the mainstream has become porn. Carmine Sarracino and Kevin Scott argue that porn has seeped into and been absorbed by every defining aspect of our culture: language, entertainment, fashion, advertising, sexual behavior, even politics. Cultural absorption is so complete that we no longer have to purchase pornography to get porn because we increasingly live porn on a daily basis.
At 5:30 Bruce E. Levine, Ph.D. - “Surviving America’s Depression Epidemic” a clinical psychologist who has been in private practice in Cincinnati, Ohio for more than 20 years. His latest book is “Surviving America’s Depression Epidemic: How to Find Morale, Energy, and Community in a World Gone Crazy” (Chelsea Green Publishing, 2007). Dr. Levine is a regular contributor to the Huffington Post, AlterNet, and Z Magazine; and his articles have been published in Salon, Adbusters, The Ecologist, and numerous other magazines. http://www.brucelevine.net/
At 6 PM Joel Kovel is an American politician, academic, writer, and eco-socialist. Eco-socialism, Green socialism or Socialist ecology is an ideology merging aspects of Marxism, socialism, Green politics, ecology and the anti-globalization movement. Eco-socialists generally believe that the expansion of the capitalist system is the cause of social exclusion, poverty and environmental degradation through globalization and imperialism, under the supervision of repressive states and transstatal structures; they advocate the non-violent dismantling of capitalism and the state, focusing on collective ownership of the means of production by freely associated producers and restoration of the Commons.[1] His most recent book is Overcoming Zionism:Creating a Single Democratic State in Israel/Palestine http://www.joelkovel.org
