DO 313 - Stephen Adubato from Cracks in Postmodernity
<p>I met Stephen this summer at the Woodcrest Bruderhof + DO + Savage Collective event in NY. Alan from Plough suggested Stephen for a panel and he instantly agreed! He gave a fantastic talk about the wonderful characters in his neighborhood, and the very real sense of place that happens when you invite the colorful characters into your life.</p><p>He had to run off to a family event after but he and I instantly hit it off and are slowly but surely planning a DO + Cracks in Pomo event in Manhattan, once we find the right format and speakers. In this episode we cover:</p><p>Stephen’s background</p><p>Postmodernism and the return of religion</p><p>Suburban disenchantment</p><p>Living tradition vs. traditionalism</p><p>Civic life over culture war</p><p>The Staten Island saint feast and MAGA</p><p>Roots, immigration, and integration</p><p>Humor, friction, and HR culture</p><p>Subsidiarity and overcentralization</p><p>The Catholic Worker and in-person events</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Stephen's work at: https://cracksinpomo.substack.com/</p>
