Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Xiaobo Lü, "Domination and Mobilization: The Rise and Fall of Political Parties in China's Republican Era" (Cambridge UP, 2025)
Q: How is it that in comparison with the CCP and this dominant leader, elite conflict, somewhat contested leadership are affecting party building in particular within the KMT?
The KMT's pragmatic approach created inevitable elite conflict due to the power struggle among ambitious individuals.
Xiaobo Lü, "Domination and Mobilization: The Rise and Fall of Political Parties in China's Republican Era" (Cambridge UP, 2025)
Q: What was it that pulled you back to the Republican period before 1949?
I cannot escape the lingering questions about the legacy from the CCP and KMT's previous struggle during the pre-49 era.
Todd McGowan, "The Cambridge Introduction to Jacques Lacan" (Cambridge UP, 2025)
Q: What motivated you to write this book?
McGowan reveals that he initially hesitated but was encouraged by his friend Mari Ruti, and after her passing, felt compelled to finish it in her memory.
Karen Stollznow, "Bitch: The Journey of a Word" (Cambridge UP, 2024)
Q: Is it accurate to say that it seems like it's more commonly used now than it has been at other points?
In some ways, it's more common today. It's more acceptable—there's more public tolerance of bad language, especially online.
Karen Stollznow, "Bitch: The Journey of a Word" (Cambridge UP, 2024)
Q: To what extent has it an additional use as being reclaimed, so not just as an insult?
Since the 1960s in particular, with the Bitch Manifesto, the word has been reclaimed in some contexts to refer to a confident, strong, independent woman.
