TA 26 Feb 14 : Generational divide - Webcam




Thinking Allowed show

Summary: the 'Generational' divide - Jonathan White, Associate Professor of European Politics at the LSE, explores the contemporary uses of the generational concept: where did this form of thinking originate and does it disguise more than it illuminates in terms of inequality in modern Britain? He's joined by Mary Dejevsky, Honorary Research Fellow at the University of Buckingham and the chief editorial writer at The Independent. Also, 'Webcam' - Daniel Miller, Professor of Anthropology at University College London, talks to Laurie Taylor about his worldwide study of users of webcam from self-consciousness and intimacy to the sustaining of long-distance relationships.
