Hi everyone,
I’m now back from my family Christmas holiday and normal service will resume with the newsletter from next week. In the interim, I just wanted to remind you that the current half-price offer on paid subscriptions to the newsletter ends on Sunday, 31 December. That means you have just two more days to take out a full subscription to the newsletter at a reduced rate of £2.50 per month (equivalent to $3.19 for American subscribers, and €2.88 for my EU-based ones) for the first year. Thereafter, the price will revert to £5 per month.
Remember, paid subscribers get access to roughly twice as much content as free subscribers do. This includes:
One Take: A weekly series of posts analysing the politics of a film currently showing at the cinemas.
Cold War World: A monthly series of posts exploring the Cold War’s political, social, cultural, economic, and environmental aspects, with an emphasis on its global nature.
All of the posts in Isms and Schisms: A monthly series of posts discussing how ideology manifests across politics and culture, often through a comparative lens, including miniseries for paid subscribers only.
All of the posts in Present Pasts: A monthly series of posts examining modern and contemporary representations of history (as well as of the future, and of time and memory more generally), and what underpins them, including miniseries for paid subscribers only.
As well as receiving all of this additional content, paid subscribers are also integral to my being able to continue producing this newsletter, as an independent academic, going forward. So, if you want to support my work, please do consider taking out a paid subscription, or gifting one to a friend who you think would appreciate it, if you can afford to do so.
