you are doing the God Service. Many Thanks Sir
Intelectual en las grietas de su país
Las cuales son qualos
Sin subrayar
El ente a su espalda. Con verde paisaje. Pasamos al frente de Bosnia-Herzegovina.Sarajevo.
Tiene un /Sarajevon/ mandón
En dos frentitos.
As Sontag said at the beginning, I didn't know much about the affairs between Serbia and Bosnia in the 1990s too. But now I'm reading Clark's The Sleepwalkers: How Europe went to War in 1914, and I see that these conflicts have existed since at least the mid-19th century.
You are the free spirit of the American intellect...❤❤❤❤
Jesus the ammount of times in which he interrupted her made me question who was beeing interviewd
That's what makes him a good interviewer. His use of counterpoint and opposing points allowed her to argue her side. And after all it's his show.
@@richardbutler4528 He can wait until she's finished with her point in order to do that. No need to interrupt.
Maybe on one or two occasions he talked over Susan, but in general I thought he conducted a good interview, especially in comparison to the standards of today.
@@ViktoriaLove93 No doubt but the time allotted for the interview was probably not enough for a full discourse, I think he was trying his best to allow her to get as many of her points across instead of only couple in detail. Still annoying though.
AND SO MUCH FUCKING MANSPLAINING.
So relevant!
17:55 Sontag is not as detached from reality as was said of her
Not playing the radio!
Si era extremada/respetuosa apesar de el etc , etc del otro. Un pto escrito de su escritura. Sin ninguna vibración de eco explosiva hacia ningún mandamás de su escritura
Cuando habla de una el otro subraya
Every single time
It amazes me that people watch this interview (or any Sontag interview) without a grasp of her work, then just write comments about how she's bad for whatever reason they see fit.
That's why you can't take comments seriously.
Only the functionally illiterate or the college educated aliterate do this. Generally, these are People who have some belief or attitude about women who think and speak publicly, who do not appear in some conventional setting or role assigned to them. Sontag is not customary, she doesn’t fit the mold. Visually, she is tall and dark and dresses plain and modestly - at least in public! She has a private life, rather torrid with men by some accounts and devoted to her son. Sexual freedom is still something frowned upon in women. In My experience of her essays, biography, interviews, filmmaking and teaching - she is direct, which is interpreted as confrontational; unconvinced by weak or emotional arguments; not seeking favor or flirting; and put simply, displaying all the attributes that usually are admired in men but mocked, even punished in women. That’s just my opinion of course but like her ( I hope) I’m not afraid to say it. I happen to find that kind of straight no chaser attitude in girls and women charming exactly because it is unusual. And most interesting, because she is a woman - there’s no physical threat attached to her intellectual or ethical stubbornness. She’s not pulling a gun on you because you don’t agree with her. How nice is that😉
@@jeanettesdaughter Didn't she say white people were "cancer"?
Sontag died of cancer in 2004. She was the last person in the USA who could be called be a public or popular intellectual. Most people today have no idea of what "intellectual" means except to blast it negatively. These people have no time to read so they wouldn't read or know about Benjamin Moser's recent biography of her which just won the Pulitzer Prize. People watch, don't listen and write comments which are a clear indication of the dumbing down of American culture (if we could even call it culture anymore.)
@@AmandaFromWisconsin Did you read it context or just the quotation?
I liked Charlie, but talking over people constantly drove me crazy. All the interruptions is so annoying.
too bad he couldn't keep his pants on
thanks for this-found it today🖐🏼 (In Search of Lost Time) 10:39 🥶😱😓✡️
Just stopped by to tell sontag to FOAD.
It's in hell with it's father
WoW, great lady. Interesting.
how was she against the war in vietnam but calling for military intervention in bosnia at the same time?
One was indifferent killing and the other was to stop indifferent killing. If you can't tell the difference, then you should stick to simpler topics.
Avocado Pirate like the time america stopped the indifferent killing in pakistan? libya? iraq?...ect??? how many bombs were dropped on civilians to end indifferent killing there? you americans are really something
@@nouraalmuhanna8042 You're right though, bombs don't work at all. This one time for one tall guy who was hiding, they had to send in the middle fo the night an helicopter crew of men and women to take him out.
@@nouraalmuhanna8042 Peace corps shouldn't be the same. I'm pretty sure she was standing for peace
One was an ongoing and documented genocide and the other was a pointless and nearly endless proxy war.
I like her and admire her greatly. A superb writer.
She is not worthy of admiration. She is one of the cohort of Marxists who colonized and took over academia during the mid-20th century. Going to Bosnia is equivalent to Jane Fonda's escapade in North Viet Nam. A typical Marxist narcissist. Repugnant.
U admire racist
The austrian painter should have tended to this demonic creature
Gee only if you’re from NYC
Very interesting person, and hair.
I love her hair too
Waiting for Godot is a destructive attitude in such a situation.
It’s an artist’s response to the situation. I don’t see how it’s destructive compared to its positive effect as protest against the UNs inaction in Bosnia.
Le voy a donar el faro de coche
She is caring
You don't know shit about this situation if you believe a woman calling for air strikes on serbs is caring.
Susan Sontag was cancer. She didn't belong in the United States. She hated white culture.
Wow, color me suprised!! Tribetoob censors a lovely small-hat-ess' quote from the celebrated 'writer' featured in the above video! It's okay when *they* say it, but "come on g0iiss, you know *our* tal-m-u-d isn't a pack of well rehearsed lies aboutchya, it's twwuuee!" "Free speech for me, but not for thee!"
Uggggggh. Caring and compassionate have come to make me VOMIT! when I hear them coming from the now openly communist left.
Take your “caring” and shove it.
And I’ll be ready to fight you when you hit my nose.

Bill Clinton moved his pieces so quickly, efficiently and incisively that it left France , Germany and the UK, open mouthed in awe
you have a typical leftist view. he didn't move all that quick, he just moved in self destructive directions. selling your resources to chicoms? silly billy and his sycophants are pathetic.
ROFL, Clinton was the 3rd worst president in history behind Carter and poopy pant Biden..
It would have been fun if the Austrian painter could have got his hands on this thing
Kek
agreed
Serbs are pressed
America stands for what?😂
slavery, suffering, death, and christianity
@@5103jerry Each nation is plagued with it’s own traumatic past which still affects the psyche of our modern world today. Humankind history itself is paradoxical in how we achieve peace, that in order to stop something like the axis of evil in Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and Fascist Italy. We’d have to slaughter millions of people and drop a nuclear bomb on regular civilians which included babies, children, animals, etc.
I mention all this because fixating and defining legacy through the atrocities of nation is just as myopic as claiming it’s ideal and perfect with no containing flaws. We need to acknowledge and examine the good, the bad, and the ugly
Absolute hero.
😂

Hag
And a racist.
you? yeah
Chuck: What do you hope to accomplish there?
SS: I don't know. (Translation from intellectual/journalism speak: to avoid 9-5)
huh????????? you're not making sense
e
Sontag hates journalist's way of thinking
I never really was taken by this guy. Some of his interviews were SO very bad and never seemed to turn anyone off. Then, of course, some other "unpleasant" things that have come out. It's too bad but do the crime...and he got off lucky. I'm sure he's still has an audience somewhere no matter what
@@stephania4940 What sort of activist plans a trip to a war zone --- a seemingly highly-visible trip because she's doing an interview about it on national television --- without knowing what she wants to accomplish there. It would be like John Lennon and Yoko Ono holding a sleep in, and not knowing what their goal is.
She's a pseudo-activist who really just wants to travel and observe for her own intellectual and cultural satisfaction. If she really wanted to help people why wouldn't she, say, work at a food relief center cooking? Or, she said she has no medical training ---- but she could volunteer providing non-skilled support at a medical treatment facility.
It's not some noble sacrifice she's making. I would have enjoyed going over to just observe, or work in a theater, as she did on her first trip. Give me a break.
I just referred to Sontag as a c**t on another video. That was hasty, clearly she is not a c**t.
C**ts are useful.
Yeah she is a Zionist Supremacist racist
She got strange as she got older.
In what way?
The greatest injustice in the history of the world is giving her airtime.
Yes, you're right! She should be censored and blacklisted from academia and the world!
any good books exposing susan sontag,, i'm cause i read an indian author saying she said europeans are the scourge of history...
Choke
This lady (like many other western "civil rights" workers and politicians) did pure propaganda presenting oversimplified version of the war finger pointing only to Serbs as a bad guys and all the other sides as a victims.
If you would know just a tiny bit of a history in Balkans you would start getting a headache and run away from the topic as far as you can. Actually all the sides (muslims, Albanians, Croats) made ethnic cleansing, murders and massacres in ex Yugoslavia civil wars during 90s. Get informed, hear all the sides of "story" not just one, it is much more complex than it looks like at the first glance when "they" present it in mass media in black and white version...
a very beautiful woman, with a lovely voice and bitchin ' hair. Nothing bitchy about Susan Sontag though, she was very feminine.
She seems masculine to me she seems less emotional then the average women
@@gangstagamegangstagame4467 u have a very biased view abt an avg woman
about as feminine as Richard Simmons.
@NeckBeardLegion_IV:XX stupid!!
