Rob Dalton PhD hosts The choreography of power, a society show with 15 episodes published.
Every day, and during every minute of it, thousands of us enter the great City of Life. We aren’t always required to pass through its ceremonial gates but if we do we know we must bow to its statues, indulge its formalit

Nothing happens unless it does. Yes, this might be one of the most obvious statements about power it’s possible to make, one beaten into second place only by the undissolved inanity of proclaiming ‘it is what it is!’ How

We live in dangerous times. Our honour and heritage is at stake, our cultural identity, the acclaim of others, our very place in the modern world, all of this, is in jeopardy. What is right, honourable, worthy of respect

There are many kinds of ‘power-watcher’, sitting inside their metaphorical hides, awaiting the arrival of their favoured species, recording what each does and wondering where they’ve come from. Some observe from a distan

When scientists talk about power, you know proper scientists like physicists and chemists, they tend to say it’s something like the degree to which we can rely on a given supply of energy. If we have enough of this, we c

The ‘Oscars’ is usually a fabulous evening. Actors, directors and movies are nominated and judged, winners announced and careers transformed. What could be easier or more joyous? Yet, beneath this simplicity lies a remar

We might think all we have discovered about power so far is that it’s always coercion, just in a form we find difficult to spot. Yet even this idea, although very sensible in some respects, begins to run into problems th

Reality television is too often dismissed as trivial entertainment, nihilistic or without meaning. This is more than a little harsh. Indeed, it might just provide us with a very useful way to examine the complex workings
