Andrea Levy publica 'La utilidad de todo este dolor', un libro en el que aborda su carrera política y su relación con la desconocida fibromialgiaEn el año 2020 Andrea Levy fue diagnosticada con una enfermedad que, durante años, le había provocado dolores y agotamiento crónico. El nombre de ese mal es la fibromialgia. Andrea, catalana de nacimiento, convivió silenciosamente con este dolor mientras su carrera política en el Partido Popular ascendía como la espuma. Era habitual verla y escucharla en tertulias televisivas y radiofónicas; dar mítines por todo el país; hablando en el Parlament catalán; como concejala en el Ayuntamiento de Madrid… Mientras tanto, en silencio, convivía y acallaba como podía los síntomas de una enfermedad que padecen casi un millón de personas en nuestro país. La política, de 39 años, ha pasado este domingo por los micrófonos de Fin de Semana para presentar la obra en la que se abre en canal con los lectores: 'La utilidad de todo este dolor'.

The Empire Windrush arrived at Tilbury Docks on 22 June 1948 from Jamaica. Front Row marks the artistic and cultural contribution of a generation of people from the Caribbean, now characterised as the Windrush Generation, who arrived then, soon before or in the years following. Samira talks to the Jamaican-born actor and director Anton Phillips about his career, including starring in the cult classic Space 1999 and directing James Baldwin's The Amen Corner in a landmark production on the London stage.

The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 8 Loss, survival and sympathy are the dominant themes of this episode of the Neuromantics, with Will and Sophie discussing research into the impact of maternal death on mammalian offspring. Maternal care is essential to survival and young mammals deprived of their mothers often move away from their social group, putting themselves at greater risk. But what happens in the long term? Can this trauma be passed on and affect further generations? Is there something genetic going on? Also coming under the spotlight is a short story by Andrea Levy which raises issues of belonging, class and social responsibility. With Will Eaves and Professor Sophie Scott.

Présentation Dans la bataille des idées, la « décroissance soutenable » ne cesse de gagner du terrain depuis une vingtaine d'année maintenant. Il reste que cette proposition politique révolutionnaire n'est pas toujours simple à comprendre, notamment parce qu'elle transgresse les clivages politiques auxquels nous sommes accoutumés. Pour mieux l'appréhender, une solution consiste à explorer les pensées dont elle s'est nourrie. C'est ce que les membres du collectif de recherche Polémos-décroissance tenteront de faire dans le cadre de ce cours, en présentant les idées et les parcours de quelques penseurs issus d'horizons divers que l'on peut considérer comme des précurseurs de la décroissance. Alexander Grothendieck et André Gorz (Écologie politique) mardi, 19h, Café Les Oubliettes Partie 1 : Alexander Grothendieck et « Survivre… Et vivre » (donnée par Noémi Bureau-Civil) Étonnamment peu connu, Alexander Grothendieck (1928-2014) fut l'un des plus grands mathématiciens du XXe siècle. Secoué par la guerre du Vietnam, puis par la découverte du financement partiel par des fonds militaires de l'institut de recherche au sein duquel il travaillait, Grothendieck quittera sa prestigieuse institution. Avec «Survivre… et vivre», un mouvement de scientifiques critiques qu'il fonde en 1970 à Montréal, il initiera une profonde critique du complexe scientifico-militaro-industriel, qui a constitué l'une des sources d'inspiration importantes de la décroissance. Cette brève présentation nous invitera à nous poser la question on ne peut plus d'actualité formulée par Alexander Grothendieck : « Allons-nous continuer la recherche scientifique? » Partie 2 : André Gorz (donnée par Andrea Levy) André Gorz (1923-2007) fut l'un des précurseurs incontestés de la décroissance et l'un des premiers auteurs à utiliser le terme même. Cet intellectuel français d'origine autrichienne a contribué à conscientiser toute une génération aux enjeux de l'écologie notamment par sa chronique, publiée sous le pseudonyme Michel Bosquet, dans Le Nouvel Observateur au cours des années 1970. Dans son long parcours, ce socialiste libertaire antiproductiviste a abordé à peu près tous les grands thèmes de la décroissance et s'est consacré à analyser les impasses du capitalisme ainsi que la nécessité impérieuse de limiter l'emprise toujours grandissante du marché sur la société. Nous discuterons de plusieurs aspects clés de son œuvre tel que ses idées sur l'autolimitation des besoins, la réduction du temps de travail, le revenu universel, et les réformes révolutionnaires. Professeur-e(s) Noémi Bureau-Civil est co-coordonnatrice du groupe de recherche Polémos. Elle détient une maîtrise scientifique en physiothérapie, domaine dans lequel elle a travaillé dix ans avant de se réorienter dans le communautaire. En 2021, elle s'est présentée aux élections fédérales comme candidate indépendante «pour une décroissance choisie» dans sa circonscription. Andrea Levy détient un doctorat en histoire de l'Université Concordia. Elle a consacré sa thèse à une biographie intellectuelle d'André Gorz. Chercheuse indépendante et journaliste engagée, elle codirige depuis des années la revue de gauche Canadian Dimension où elle a également signé une chronique sur l'écocide de 2010 à 2019. Au cours des 15 dernières années, elle a aussi collaboré régulièrement à la revue Les Nouveau Cahiers du socialisme. Elle travaille à son compte comme rédactrice et traductrice.

A obesidade deve atingir quase 30% da população adulta do Brasil em 2030. É o que estima o Atlas Mundial da Obesidade 2022, publicado pela Federação Mundial de Obesidade, uma organização voltada para redução, prevenção e tratamento da obesidade. Nesta terça-feira (11) é celebrado o Dia de Prevenção da Obesidade. Segundo o Ministério da Saúde, no Brasil, o excesso de peso atinge 96 milhões de pessoas. E quando se fala em obesidade uma discussão que também aparece é com relação a padrão físico. Um novo movimento afirma que ser saudável não está necessariamente associado ao peso. A abordagem "Saudável Em Qualquer Tamanho", define a saúde de uma forma mais inclusiva, eliminando o estigma do peso, respeitando a diversidade de tamanho e melhorando o acesso aos cuidados de saúde para todos. Em entrevista à CBN Vitória, o médico nutrólogo e professor universitário Roger Bongestab, e a psicóloga e presidente da ONG Obesidade Brasil, Andrea Levy, falam sobre o assunto! Os especialistas são unânimes em dizer que a obesidade precisa ser tratada. O principal problema do excesso de peso são as alterações que aumentam o risco de outros problemas de saúde, como o diabetes e a hipertensão.

When we migrate, can language help us feel at home? And how can words make us feel unwelcome?  How does migration affect the ways we communicate and express ourselves in writing, poetry, performance?  In this episode, Lemn is joined by poet and playwright Inua Ellams to listen to some highlights from the British Library Sound Archive and explore the relationship between language and migration.  Inua Ellams wrote the Barber Shop Chronicles which sold out all its runs at the National Theatre in London. His recent show ‘An Evening With An Immigrant' tells the story of ‘escaping fundamentalist Islam, experiencing prejudice and friendship in Dublin, and drinking wine with the Queen of England, all the while without a country to belong to or place to call home.'  Recordings in the episode in order of appearance:  Madhohu Rammutla performing Kgerere (Planting time).

Small Island by bestselling author Andrea Levy won the Orange Prize for Fiction, as well as many other awards, including the Commonwealth Writers' Prize and the Whitbread. Now a major BBC drama starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Naomie Harris, its enduring appeal will captivate fans of Maya Angelou and Zadie Smith. 'A great read... honest, skilful, thoughtful and important' - Guardian It is 1948, and England is recovering from a war. But at 21 Nevern Street, London, the conflict has only just begun. Queenie Bligh's neighbours do not approve when she agrees to take in Jamaican lodgers, but Queenie doesn't know when her husband will return, or if he will come back at all. What else can she do? Gilbert Joseph was one of the several thousand Jamaican men who joined the RAF to fight against Hitler. Returning to England as a civilian he finds himself treated very differently. It's desperation that makes him remember a wartime friendship with Queenie and knock at her door. Gilbert's wife Hortense, too, had longed to leave Jamaica and start a better life in England. But when she joins him she is shocked to find London shabby, decrepit, and far from the golden city of her dreams. Even Gilbert is not the man she thought he was...

Tercera jornada del asedio ruso a Ucrania, en la que Rusia ha vuelto al ataque total mientras Kiev trata de resistir. España ha preparado un primer envío de ayuda humanitaria a Ucrania. El ministro José Manuel Albares ha garantizado, además, la seguridad en las fronteras. Por su parte, la ministra de Defensa, Margarita Robles, ha anunciado el envío de más tropas militares españolas a las fronteras con Ucrania. Al margen de la guerra. En Castilla y León, PP y Soria ¡Ya! han acordado crear un grupo de trabajo que permita al PP gobernar en solitario en la comunidad. Mientras tanto, la crisis interna de los populares sigue centrando el debate político. Terminamos en Nueva Jersey donde Elton John ha ofrecido un concierto, en el marco de su gira de despedida de los escenarios, y ha mandando un mensaje de solidaridad a la población ucraniana, con canción dedicada incluida.

Pablo Casado ha convocado un congreso extraordinario tras la cascada de dimisiones en el Partido Popular. Una de las más sonadas ha sido la de Teodoro García Egea, que pocas horas después concedía una entrevista confirmándolo. Ha asegurado que no ha hecho "nada malo", y que cree en la inocencia de la presidenta de la comunidad de Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso. Además, ha negado cualquier espionaje en el entorno de la presidenta regional. En cuanto a la situación en Ucrania, la Unión Europea ha anunciado un paquete de sanciones contra Rusia, tras el reconocimiento de la independencia de Donetsk y Lugansk, al este de Ucrania. Quieren, así, limitar la capacidad financiera del Gobierno ruso. Estas sanciones podrían ir a peor, tal y como han confirmado Ursula von der Leyen, Josep Borrel y José Manuel Albares. También comenzarán las represalias desde Estados Unidos, según ha indicado Joe Biden, el presidente del país. Por lo demás, una semana después del naufragio del Villa de Pitanxo, continúan las reclamaciones de las familias de los marineros desaparecidos. Por el momento, armadores gallegos con buques en la zona del naufragio del Villa de Pitanxo en Terranova han acordado continuar por sus medios la búsqueda de los marineros desaparecidos. Y terminamos hablando de música, porque Rihanna podría presentar su nuevo disco antes de que termine el año.

Se estrecha el cerco en torno a Casado y claudica: entrega la cabeza de Teodoro García Egea y convocará congreso extraordinario del PP, aunque la decisión puede llegar tarde como para salvar su puesto. Según pasan las horas, los pocos apoyos que le quedan a Casado se han ido desvaneciendo. Mientras tanto, el Gobierno ha celebrado consejo de ministros en el que se ha aprobado la prórroga de los ERTE, la subida del SMI y el real decreto por el que se aprueban las becas para el próximo curso. Y tras mirar al exterior y la crisis en Ucrania, nos sumamos a las felicitaciones a Joan Manuel Serrat que hoy al recogido la Gran Cruz de la Orden Civil de Alfonso X el Sabio.

This episode is devoted to you, the fans and regular listeners of this podcast. Today we decided to do things differently and create a fan-favorite episode. We start with a voice note from a loyal listener, Andrea Levy, who describes her favorite episode with Aila Hoss and why it inspired her so much. Then, Dr. Huntley talks about the opportunity she had to speak to a group of health science graduates, how her friends and family responded to her speech, and why she regards this as the highest honor. She explains the context of the speech, how starting a health career during a pandemic adds an extra layer of challenges, and how she factored this into the content of her speech. She then shares the speech and its three main takeaways with us.

How does a profound emotional experience in one generation affect the next? Is it handed down? Both the scientific paper and the short story under scrutiny in this month's Neuromantics consider the ripple effect of trauma, and its observable consequences not just for survivors, but for those who come after them. Offspring of all the higher primates have an extended period of infancy in which they are dependent on their mothers. If the mother dies, the infants are less likely to survive. But survival rates are also impacted before the mother dies, according to Maternal Death and Offspring Fitness in Multiple Wild Primates, by Matthew N. Zipple et al. And the children who do make it to adulthood tend to have fewer chlldren themselves. Why is this? Gorillas and humans can re-allocate the maternal role and reconfigure family hierarchies, often successfully, but other primates have fewer safety-nets (and often a shrinking habitat): they seem to have witnessed something irrevocable. They see a parent struggle and they “know” their vulnerability. Mixed up in the experience of traumatic grief is fear – that people can disappear, that you or someone else can be taken, that your circumstances can change. And if we see that kind of fear at work in our parents, it works in us, too. In “Loose Change”, by Andrea Levy, the narrator – the English child, like Levy, of Jamaican parents – borrows a trifling sum of money from a stranger, a young girl recently arrived in London from Uzbekistan. They have coffee together. The narrator resolves to be kind, to help, but her resolution is tested by a deeper struggle with its roots in racism and handed-down shame. Can she do more than listen? Can she break the cycle?

PAUL MENDEZ was born and raised in the Black Country. He now lives in London and is studying for an M.A. in Black British Writing at Goldsmiths, University of London. He has been a performing member of two theatre companies, and worked as a voice actor, appearing on audiobooks by Andrea Levy, Paul Theroux and Ben Okri, most recently recording Ian Wright's A Life in Football for Hachette Audio. As a writer, he has contributed to the Times Literary Supplement and the Brixton Review of Books. Rainbow Milk is his debut novel. About Rainbow Milk An essential and revelatory coming-of-age narrative from a thrilling new voice, Rainbow Milk follows nineteen-year-old Jesse McCarthy as he grapples with his racial and sexual identities against the backdrop of his Jehovah's Witness upbringing. In the 1950s, ex-boxer Norman Alonso is a determined and humble Jamaican who has immigrated to Britain with his wife and children to secure a brighter future. Blighted with unexpected illness and racism, Norman and his family are resilient, but are all too aware that their family will need more than just hope to survive in their new country. At the turn of the millennium, Jesse seeks a fresh start in London, escaping a broken immediate family, a repressive religious community and his depressed hometown in the industrial Black Country. But once he arrives he finds himself at a loss for a new center of gravity, and turns to sex work, music and art to create his own notions of love, masculinity and spirituality. A wholly original novel as tender as it is visceral, Rainbow Milk is a bold reckoning with race, class, sexuality, freedom and religion across generations, time and cultures.

Roma, the black and white Mexican film about a young domestic worker in Mexico City in the 1970s, won Best Film at the Baftas on Sunday and is up for the same at the Oscars. The film's producer, Gabriela Rodriguez, talks about the background to director Alfonso Cuarón's personal project which draws on his own childhood, and discusses their working relationship. The death has been announced of the acclaimed author Andrea Levy. Her fiction, including the Orange Prize-winning Small Island and the Man Booker-longlisted and recently televised The Long Song, chronicled the experience of generations from the Caribbean who lived through slavery and emigration. Her friend and fellow writer Louise Doughty pays tribute. The architect Sir Nicholas Grimshaw's buildings include the Eden Project, the International Terminal at Waterloo Station and the National Space Centre in Leicester. He is one of a group of architects including Terry Farrell, Richard Rogers and Norman Foster who became the leading architects of the late 20th century not just in Britain but around the world. He discusses his long career in the week that he's been awarded the 2019 Royal Gold Medal by the Royal Institute of British Architects.Presenter: John Wilson Producer: Sarah JohnsonMain image: Roma Photo credit: Netflix

Tamara Lawrance stars in new BBC One drama The Long Song, an adaption of the Andrea Levy novel set on a sugar plantation during the final days of slavery in 19th century Jamaica. The actress talks about the drama as well as her career so far, which in the three years since leaving drama school has seen her play Viola in Twelfth Night at the National Theatre, Cordelia opposite Ian McKellen's Lear in Chichester and Prince Harry's republican girlfriend in BBC One's Charles III. Meet Vermeer is a new initiative between The Hague's Mauritshuis gallery and Google Arts and Culture which brings together all 36 authenticated works of 17th-century Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer in an augmented reality experience viewable via the Google Arts and Culture app on a smartphone.

Kirsty Young's castaway is the writer Andrea Levy. Born in London to Jamaican parents, she has spent much of her career describing the experiences of Caribbean immigrants and cementing the role they have played in British life. Her books have found both a large and appreciative audience as well as critical success - Small Island was named Whitbread Book of the Year, while Long Song, was shortlisted for the Man-Booker Prize. Her achievements are all the more extraordinary because she says she didn't read her first novel until she was 23 years old. She says: "The reason I write is because I am exploring my heritage - and there's still a lot of that story untold."Producer: Isabel Sargent.
