		<description><![CDATA[Little girls as witches? A nuanced, emotionally sensitive Macbeth? Of course I wanted to watch with an open mind, and to enjoy a new take on an old favourite. But it was hard to ignore my own child-self, looking grumpily over my shoulder and bristling at the prospect of betrayal: ‘those sisters don’t look very wyrd [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The state does provide some safeguard against the Randian dystopia of totally unfettered dollar power dreamed of by capitalist libertarians. But the problems facing the 99% are fundamental ones that can’t be solved by regulatory band-aids. It isn’t a question of the state doling out a little less freedom to the few in order to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the surface, it has never shown so attractive a face to the world. In the evening, walking back towards City Road, the glass and steel of the newly-finished law building frame the sloping green of Victoria Park, and beyond that, the lights of the city. The sight has the dimensions and composition of a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; The asides are like amusing marginalia scribbled on the pages of a well-thumbed library book; this irreverent approach is entirely in keeping with the spirit of the play. Shakespearean purists may object, but we should not pay attention to their oxymoronic concerns: there was never anything pure about any of the plays written by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; [Barker's plays] are notoriously difficult to stage successfully. It is hard, as an actor or director, to tell if a moment ‘works’, when the drama operates on such unstable aesthetics, the very instability of which is central to the effect – or rather, the totality of many effects depending on the individual response of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;Scarcity, or the prospect of scarcity, creates value (no-one was rhapsodising about the tactile pleasures of printed books fifty years ago), and as English spreads from one horizon to the other like a swarm of locusts, gobbling up minor languages in a few generations, we have begun to recognise that our linguistic ecosystem is a precious [...]]]></description>

Critique is a way of retreating and retrenching, to maintain a degree of distance both from the world we inhabit and the life we lead. We are, each of us, so compromised by [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day I listened to an episode in the La Trobe Philosophy podcast with interest: Dr Jack Reynolds was talking about the divide between Analytical and Continental philosophers. It was fascinating, but I wondered why Alain Badiou&#8217;s name did not come up, since he frames Being and Event with a discussion of the divide, [...]]]></description>
