Cette semaine, Au Coeur de l'Histoire se met à l'heure d'Halloween ! Pour cette semaine spéciale frissons, préparez-vous à avoir la chair de poule...Virginie Girod vous raconte les origines d'un monstre incontournable de la pop culture dans un récit inédit d'Au cœur de l'Histoire !Loin de l'image du revenant assoiffé de sang forgée et véhiculée par le cinéma hollywoodien, la figure du zombi puise ses origines dans la culture vaudou haïtienne. A partir du XVe siècle, alors que le commerce triangulaire se met en place, des millions d'Africains sont capturés et réduits en esclavage sur les territoires nouvellement conquis en Amérique et dans les Caraïbes. Le mélange des cultures locales et importées aboutit, sur l'île qui deviendra Haïti, à la construction d'un syncrétisme religieux : le vaudou, comprenant ses propres rites, croyances et divinités, à l'image d'Erzuli ou du Baron Samedi. Parmi les pratiquants, il existe des sorciers, les bokors, capables de ramener des êtres d'entre les morts en effectuant des rites de zombification... Mais qui sont ces zombis ? Ont-ils jamais perdu la vie ?

Octubre 29, 2025 - Cuando Dios creo a Sus hijos, nos diseno con una necesidad espiritual y emocional de conexion. Nuestro deseo de amistad no es una debilidad, es un regalo de Dios! Hoy en Vision Para Vivir, el pastor Carlos A. Zazueta continua con su estudio practico de las virtudes de "el fruto del Espiritu". En este estudio, abordaremos el regalo de la fidelidad, especialmente cuando se manifiesta en las relaciones. La Biblia contiene docenas de ilustraciones reales, pero la relacion que el pastor Carlos describe es la poderosa amistad entre David y Jonatan.

P. Juan Carlos (Ecuador)A cruz de Cristo es la salvación del género humano; sobre esta columna se construye su casa. Cuando hablo de la cruz, no me refiero al madero sino a la pasión. Esta cruz se encuentra tanto en Bretaña como en India y en el universo entero.... Feliz aquel que lleva en su corazón la cruz y la resurrección, al igual que el lugar de su nacimiento y el lugar de la ascensión de Cristo al cielo[Ver Meditación Escrita] https://www.hablarconjesus.com/meditaciones-escritas/

Conspiracy, mutiny and liberation on America's waterfront by the award-winning author of The Slave Ship. Freedom Ship: The Uncharted History of Escaping Slavery by Sea (Penguin Group, 2025) is a gripping history of stowaway slaves and the vessels that carried them to liberty. Up to 100,000 fugitives successfully fled the horrors of bondage in the American South. Many were ushered clandestinely northwards from safe house to safe house: know as the Underground Railway. Thousands of others escaped not by land, but by sea. Their dramatic tales of whispered conspiracy and billowing sails make Freedom Ship essential and enthralling reading.Through the intricate riverways of the Carolinas to the banks of the Chesapeake Bay, Freedom Ship traces the freedom seekers who turned their sights to the sea. Sailaways regularly arrived in Britain on cotton ships from New York or Southern ports. For example, Moses Roper, one of the most determined runaways in American history, traveled 350 miles through slave country before eventually taking a ship named the Napoleon to Liverpool. Both legendary abolitionists Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman used the waterfront as a path to freedom. Marcus Rediker is Distinguished Professor of Atlantic History at the University of Pittsburgh. His “histories from below,” including The Slave Ship: A Human History, have won numerous awards, including the George Washington Book Prize, and have been translated into seventeen languages worldwide. He has produced a film, Ghosts of Amistad, with director Tony Buba, and written a play, “The Return of Benjamin Lay,” with playwright Naomi Wallace. He is currently writing a book about escaping slavery by sea in antebellum America. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

Escuche el programa de este Viernes 19 de Septiembre. La Luciérnaga, un espacio de humor y opinión de Caracol Radio que desde hace 33 años acompaña a sus oyentes en su regreso casa.

Film writer and critic Brendan Hodges joins to discuss Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan, a self-proclaimed love letter to the filmmaker's WWII veteran father and all the fighting men of the Second World War. Visceral, upsetting, and deeply conflicted, the film formally disavows many of Spielberg's more populist tendencies as director and creates a tension between the valorizing, mythic tone of its war movie forebears and its own aims as a subjective, hyperreal chronicle of boots-on-the-ground combat. Is the film a viscious, jingoistic piece of propaganda? A formally exhilarating but ideologically dubious piece of late 20th century moviemaking? Or is it, as our guest asserts, one of the most misunderstood texts in popular American cinema? We begin by reflecting on Saving Private Ryan's legacy and cultural context, its place as a cultural behemoth and its application as a load-bearing hagiography for American militarism that found new purchase in a post-9/11 context just a few years after its release. Then, we examine Spielberg's formalism, how images contradict text within the film, and what to make of the movie's propositions on its own terms. Finally, we address the movie's evocation of difficult realities of warfare, and ask if the film meets the mandate and responsibility of such images; how history and contemporary context color our interpretations, and what value there is in continuing to return to such questions in our current moment.

(Antevíspera del Día del Amor y de la Amistad en Colombia) Amanecía en el desolado desierto de Atacama, en la frontera entre Perú y Chile. El viento helado de la cordillera batía las dunas y los cactos, arremolinando el polvo implacable. El sol salía detrás de las montañas, sobrepasando una faja de pesadas nubes enrojecidas. En un pequeño hotel de la frontera, los huéspedes se preparaban para ir a sus trabajos, a sus oficinas, a sus compras y negocios. Las empleadas del hotel abrían los cuartos desocupados para hacer las tareas de limpieza y tender las camas, y las cocineras preparaban el desayuno. Uno de los cuartos permanecía cerrado. Lo ocupaba una pareja de adolescentes que había llegado la noche anterior: Nora Mamaní, de quince años, y José Turpo, de dieciséis. No habían salido del cuarto desde que lo alquilaron a eso de la medianoche. Al mediodía los llamaron para almorzar, pero nadie contestó. Llamaron más fuerte, y no hubo respuesta alguna. Entonces forzaron la puerta y hallaron a los dos jóvenes tendidos en la cama. Ambos habían bebido medio litro de insecticida fosforado, y habían muerto. ¿A qué se debió aquel trágico desenlace? Es una historia que no deja de repetirse, siguiendo los mismos patrones de la tragedia de Romeo y Julieta. Una pareja de adolescentes se enamora. Sus padres se oponen a que se casen debido a su edad y su falta de madurez. Así que los jóvenes huyen juntos, resueltos a ponerle punto final al drama. En algunos casos, como el de Nora y José, su destino es un hotel en la frontera, donde toman la funesta determinación de suicidarse. Es una decisión trágica, que no resuelve nada, sino que hunde a dos tiernas almas en el abismo de una noche sin aurora. La ironía del caso del que se suicida por amor es que bien pudiera canalizar ese amor hacia el Ser Supremo que es la personificación misma del amor. De hacerlo así, comprobaría lo que afirma la Biblia: que Dios es amor, y que como prueba de su amor envió al mundo a su Hijo Jesucristo a dar su vida por nosotros. Y por si eso fuera poco, Cristo se identifica perfectamente con el que siente que sus padres o amigos íntimos lo han abandonado y que el mundo no lo comprende,1 pues eso fue lo que sintió Él mientras agonizaba en la cruz.2 Más vale que cada uno le entreguemos nuestra vida a Aquel que entregó la suya por nosotros.3 Pidámosle que nos dé sabiduría, y que nos ayude a tener paciencia y a confiar en Él y en el porvenir incomparable que nos tiene preparado.4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Mt 26:31,56; Mr 14:27,29,30,50; Jn 1:11; 6:66‑68; 10:6; 12:16; 13:7; 20:9 2 Mt 27:46; Mr 15:34; Lc 23:34 3 Jn 3:16 4 Jn 14:1‑3

Debatimos si la amistad entre hombres y mujeres es realmente posible, cómo evitar la confusión y qué señales poner claras. Hablamos de por qué a los hombres les importa el pasado y a las mujeres el futuro, el “primero amigo” que no funciona, y qué valoran para una relación. Además: rupturas, prioridades, ambición ¿importa el coche?, y el dilema hijos vs. negocio.

Episode 592 - Joe McClean - Screenwriter, Author and Director - Putting Yourself Out There and Into Your Story, That is Where the Opportunity LiesJoe made a bunch of short films and one feature length movie with friends and no money. To this day, I enjoy watching those early attempts to craft a story, but essentially this era of on-the-job-training was my film school. Now it was time to take my first big swing. I wrote a script I felt I could raise enough money to shoot myself, a found-footage film, and I spent a year begging for cash and favors. The star of a hit TV show, who had gone to the same high school as me, graciously agreed to act in it. An NBA player made a small investment. Actor, comedian, and Late Show with David Letterman regular, Jay Thomas agreed to make a cameo. The snowball was growing and eventually I scraped together enough cash to direct Life Tracker. The movie played over 20 science fiction conventions and got a digital distribution deal with Charter Communications (now Spectrum) and streamed into millions of American homes.Life Tracker Great! Now I needed a follow up to prove that my work ethic couldn't be mistaken for beginner's luck.​ Taking advantage of a group of talented actor friends and another who owned property outside of Fresno, I wrote and directed a super-low-budget homage to The Big Chill called The Drama Club which can currently be seen on Tubi.The Drama Club Looking back from that point, I could see the years of work I'd put in. Meeting people. Working with casts and crews. Going on adventures together. taking risks and building trust. Jobs started to fall into place. I signed my first manager. I joined the Writers Guild of America. I pitched big shot producers at legacy studios and powerhouse production companies. Always searching for that next opportunity. That's when I met Blair Underwood. A business lunch turned into an attachment (and a friendship), and soon I was hitting up everyone I'd ever done business with to see who wanted to join the team.Viral was written and produced by me, it's directed by and stars Blair, and he shares the screen with Sarah Silverman, Jeanine Mason, and the incomparable Alfre Woodard! The movie is finished and we're actively working with our sales team to bring it to audiences.In the mean time, I'm working with Amistad (an imprint of HarperCollins Publishing) on a two-book deal titled Sins of Survivors about the plight of a family who lived in the once vital African American neighborhood of Black Bottom in 1930s and 40s Detroit. The first book is currently available everywhere books are sold, and the second hits shelves in the summer of 2026... So, go to your local bookstore's website get your copy!Why "Ginger Beard," you ask? My wife's maiden name is "Beard," and when our son was born he had a reddish tint to his hair. So, my company is named after my son, my "Ginger Beard"... It's only a bonus that I have red facial hair.https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-mcclean-6668b018https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0565697/https://www.gingerbeardfilms.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

A magnificent cultural biography, Positive Obsession: The Life and Times of Octavia E. Butler (Amistad, 2025) charts the life of one of our greatest writers, situating her alongside the key historical and social moments that shaped her work. As the first Black woman to consistently write and publish in the field of science fiction, Octavia Butler was a trailblazer. With her deft pen, she created stories speculating the devolution of the American empire, using it as an apt metaphor for the best and worst of humanity—our innovation and ingenuity, our naked greed and ambition, our propensity for violence and hierarchy. Her fiction charts the rise and fall of the American project—the nation's transformation from a provincial backwater to a capitalist juggernaut—made possible by chattel slavery—to a bloated imperialist superpower on the verge of implosion. In this outstanding work, Susana M. Morris places Butler's story firmly within the cultural, social, and historical context that shaped her life: the Civil Rights Movement, Black Power, women's liberation, queer rights, Reaganomics. Morris reveals how these influences profoundly impacted Butler's personal and intellectual trajectory and shaped the ideas central to her writing. Her cautionary tales warn us about succumbing to fascism, gender-based violence, and climate chaos while offering alternate paradigms to religion, family, and understanding our relationships to ourselves. Butler envisioned futures with Black women at the center, raising our awareness of how those who are often dismissed have the knowledge to shift the landscape of our world. But her characters are no magical martyrs, they are tough, flawed, intelligent, and complicated, a reflection of Butler's stories. Morris explains what drove Butler: She wrote because she felt she must. “Who was I anyway? Why should anyone pay attention to what I had to say? Did I have anything to say? I was writing science fiction and fantasy, for God's sake. At that time nearly all professional science-fiction writers were white men. As much as I loved science fiction and fantasy, what was I doing? Well, whatever it was, I couldn't stop. Positive obsession is about not being able to stop just because you're afraid and full of doubts. Positive obsession is dangerous. It's about not being able to stop at all.” Susana M. Morris is the Associate Professor of Literature, Media & Communication at the Georgia Institute of Technology. You can find Susana at her website, at Instagram; on Threads; and on Substack.

Esta semana te llevé por historias que pocos conocen, pero que jamás se olvidan. Desde la ambición de Arsínoe, la hermana olvidada de Cleopatra, hasta los días más oscuros de Adriana Fonseca. Recordamos también al entrañable Marcelo Chávez, el gran compañero de Tin Tan, y cómo una pareja ayudó a cambiar la historia de la música mexicana.

Siempre estuvo a su lado, en cada película, en cada canción… pero nunca fue protagonista. Lo llamaban “El Carnal Marcelo”, y aunque su talento era inmenso, su historia quedó en la sombra. ¿Fue admiración… o manipulación? ¿Fidelidad o sometimiento? La verdad detrás de esta legendaria dupla es más compleja de lo que te han contado.
