“The nameless oppressed are who Benjamin wanted us to honour: the many tens of thousands of civilians killed in Gaza and in Sudan. The…fewer than one-quarter of whom are ever formally identified,” writes Dan Hancox in ‘The last days of Walter Benjamin’ ft.com/content/fe8d0d…

Magnificent piece by ⁦Dan Hancox⁩ in @ft on Walter Benjamin “It is more difficult to honour the memory of the anonymous than that of the renowned. Historical construction is devoted to the memory of the anonymous.” There is still work to be done! on.ft.com/4agi8yz

Birds are very cautiously singing outside and the new Tribune is out, burnished with one of the all-time classic covers. I reviewed Dan Hancox’s excellent Multitudes for it

Cannot recommend this new ⁦Verso Books⁩ book by ⁦Dan Hancox⁩ highly enough. There is something fascinating on every page. I have been wearily, bitterly jealous of Dan’s excellent journalism for years and this has only added to that

#ThinkingAllowed explores the madness of crowds with Dan Hancox Verso Books Why do we tend to see the 'multitude' as dangerous when its key to democracy? Also, Lisa Mueller asks if crowd cohesion is critical to the success of protests. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

1/ "I Believe in the Eternal Life of Carnival" isn’t just a statement — it’s a manifesto. In times of crisis and isolation, joy becomes a radical act of resistance. #CarnivalSpirit #CollectiveJoy …stcapitalistassemblages.wordpress.com/2025/03/17/i-b…

3/ Drawing inspiration from Dan Hancox in Multitudes, we see that isolation isn’t a bug — it’s a deliberate design to control us. The forces that profit from our atomization have long underestimated the power of collective celebration. #ResistAtomization

Echoing Jodi Dean recommendation to buy Dan Hancox superb new book exploring how the popular perception of crowds being inherently violent is based on 19th-century pseudoscience and why elites are terrified of mass social movements, which I reviewed for Booksin5 below! 1/5

I’ve curated many exhibitions but never thought I would be in one..! Congrats to Kasia Tee & Dan Hancox for their Cursed Objects exhibition about museum shops at the Peltz Gallery. Some of the museum pens which I’ve been collecting since I was a child are featured. Go see it!
