A YEAR OF PANDAEMONIUM 2018

December 29, 2018 by Kenan Malik

As another year draws to a close, here are some of the highlights of a year of Pandaemonium in 2018. . Politics British politics was, of course, dominated by Brexit. I wrote little directly on the issue (though my original pieces still, I think, hold up well), but much around the issue of populism, including analyses of the Lega/M5S victory in Italy and of the standoff between Italy and the EU over the new government’s budget, and an article on the gilets jaunes […]

THANK YOU!

December 22, 2018 by Kenan Malik

Just a short post to say thank you to all Pandaemonium readers. It’s been another tumultuous year, from Brexit to Brazil, from Myanmar to MeToo. Another year posing new questions, challenging old analyses, generating fractious debates. Hopefully Pandaemonium has played a role in navigating through this and in the rethinking necessary for our time. I want especially to thank my Patrons. Patreon, for those who don’t know, is a crowdfunding platform for funding the work of writers, artists and musicians, allowing […]

MAKING PANDAEMONIUM

April 13, 2017 by Kenan Malik

A while back, I joined Patreon, a crowdfunding platform for funding the work of writers, artists and musicians. Like a cross between Kickstarter and Paypal, Patreon allows supporters to make small monthly contributions – anything from $1 to $50 (or more if you wish…). Unlike, say, Kickstarter, it is not a one-time relatively large donation but a small recurring pledge. Here is a video explaining how it works: The only difference is that on Pandaemonium, rather than asking you to […]

January 1, 2017 by Kenan Malik

Happy New Year! It has been a tumultuous year, and the discussions on Pandaemonium have reflected that tumult, trying to get to grips with issues from Brexit to cultural appropriation, from anti-Semitism to the migrant crisis.

MERRY CHRISTMAS – AND THANK YOU!

December 25, 2016 by Kenan Malik

Merry Christmas to all my readers – and thank you for all your support this year. It has been a tumultuous year and many of the debates on Pandaemonium have reflected that tumult. I will publish an essay later this week to try to place the events of 2016 in perspective, and another to record a year of Pandaemonium. I want especially to thank my Patrons. Patreon, for those who don’t know, is a crowdfunding platform for funding the work […]

A YEAR OF PANDAEMONIUM

January 1, 2016 by Kenan Malik

Happy New Year! 2015 was a great year for Pandaemonium. It received more than 500,000 visitors – the first time it’s broken the half-million mark. But it was such a frantic, hectic, non-stop year that many of the new projects that I had hoped to launch, including ebooks and podcasts, have still to get off the ground. Hopefully, that will happen sometime this year. In 2015 I joined Patreon, a crowdfunding platform that allows supporters to help fund the work […]

PANDAEMONIUM: THE ESSENTIAL LIST

February 13, 2015 by Kenan Malik

Pandaemonium is four years old. (The birthday was actually last month, but I’m never good with dates…) I thought that it was time I updated my list of ‘essential readings’ from the blog that I publish on my Introduction page. So, for those who have not read them yet, here are 21 essays, talks and reviews from over the past four years that I think best set out my arguments and ideas. And if you want even more, there is […]
