Society, Culture, Economy Int. (sceinternational)

🎤 When a rapper’s comment leads to camera silence at Sanremo, you see how culture gets managed.

🛩️From Arctic summits in airport lounges to festivals canceled by fear, from “cleanup” politics to crypto regulation—our world runs on spectacle, sovereignty, and platforms. The question isn’t if rules exist, but who scripts them—and for whose benefit. https://paragraph.com/@openaccessblogs/the-contemporary-reordering-how-climate-culture-and-capital-are-reshaping-our-world

〰️ From tariffs to TikTok, climate gaps to cultural battles—our crises aren’t separate. They’re a ‘liquid crisis,’ feeding each other in real time. Resilience means acting across scales, without nostalgia or fatalism. https://open.substack.com/pub/openaccessblogs/p/powers-new-playbook-wielding-culture?r=56p6o5&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
