Episode 53: Historic Tourism - Pt. 2 (Heritage and Industry) - a podcast by The Theory Doctors

This is Episode 53 of the State of the Theory Podcast.

Politics. Power. Popular Culture. And other stuff, probably.

In this series, we’re like super nerdy philosophical DJs: mashing up Serious Academic Questions with the most topical news and trends in pop culture. Each week, we’ll tackle a new topic and collide it with ‘critical theory’ (we’re pretty loose with our definitions, though, so expect the unexpected). Our aim is to destroy the stuff we know, explore the stuff we don’t and unsettle everything we think we know about the world. We take the obvious, the commonsensical, the certain, and then we rip it all to shreds. We are your theory doctors and we are always on call.

In this episode, the second of a two-parter on historic tourism, we continue our discussion from last week, by focusing on heritage and industry, through spaces such as the Whitney Plantation Museum, the Tenement Museum, the Tower of London, Verdant Jute Museum and much else.

Our theme music is "The Face of God" by The Agrarians (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/The_Agrarians/The_Jovial_Shepherd/The_Face_of_God)

State of the Theory is brought to you by Hannah Fitzpatrick and Anindya Raychaudhuri
