Cursed Objects

Cursed Summer Sessions: The Revolutionary Potential of Antiques Roadshow

25 Aug 2023

Description

For the next Patreon-only Cursed Summer Session, Dan and Kasia get stuck into a decades-old British institution, with a TV review of Antiques Roadshow - comparing the huge gulf between the show in 1990 and 2023. Is it the most suffocating, reactionary show on TV? Twee middle-class commodity fetishism? Or is there more to it than that - couldn't this also be a democratic goldmine, a forum for grassroots, participatory material history for the masses? What kind of objects need to appear on Antiques Roadshow to make it something more than Tory heritage industry fluff?  *** For the full episode, join our Patreon!! *** ONLY £4 A MONTH TO SUPPORT YOUR FAVOURITE CULTURAL HISTORIANS AND GET 20+ BONUS EPISODES AND A CURSED OBJECTS STICKER PACK!
