Podcasts about banality

Send us a textWhat can a Star Wars show teach us about organizing, resistance, and healing? In this episode of the Amplify RJ Podcast, I sit down with strategist, therapist, and writer Gabes Torres to talk about Andor—yes, that Star Wars show—and what it reveals about real-life revolution.We dive into how Andor de-romanticizes rebellion and reflects the complex realities of movement work: the banality of evil, conflict in organizing, disposability culture, and the painful but necessary tension between rest and resistance. Gabes shares insights from their piece on the show, their organizing and healing work in the Global South, and the ways marine mammals and myth can inform our strategy.Whether or not you've seen the show, this conversation is about so much more than the galaxy far, far away—it's about our world and how we build toward collective liberation with nuance, integrity, and care.0:00 – Intro: What is Andor + Character Breakdown 5:20 – Meet Gabes Torres: Healer, Strategist, Rebel  9:42 – How Andor De-Romanticizes Revolution  14:20 – Disney, Propaganda & Revolutionary Storytelling  19:35 – The Banality of Evil in a Boardroom  25:00 – Real-World Parallels: Propaganda, Gaza, Gorman & Genocide  26:45 – Parenting, Powerlessness & Purpose  29:21 – Consciousness Building as Resistance  32:20 – Gabes on Luthen, Clea & Strategy in Movement  36:42 – Bix, Trauma & Knowing When to Step Back  40:28 – Organizing Through Burnout & Wavering Commitment  44:30 – Humananizing vs. Ruthless Sacrifice47:40 – Disposability Culture in Movements  49:10 – Disagreeing Is Not a Failure of Solidarity  52:00 – Addressing Conflict & Building in Organizing  56:20 –  Is there Shared Vision for Our Resistance?  1:00:23 – Activist Ecosystems, Movement Mentorship from Marine Mammals  1:07:30 – Upside Down Triangle: Rethinking Power  1:08:50 – Support Gabes & Psychosocial Care for Organizers  Connect with Gabes:https://gabestorres.com/https://www.instagram.com/gabestorres/Read her article: https://gabestorres.substack.com/p/andorSupport mental health care for organizers in the Global South https://gabestorres.com/support/Rep Amplify RJ Merch Connect with us on:Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Threads, YouTube, and TikTok!SUPPORT by sharing this podcast and leaving a rating or review

With only raw materials, could you recreate a toaster? Now could you do it considering the source of your materials, the effect extracting them has on the world, along with the use and inevitable destruction of it. This episode's guest did just that. Starting with the extraction of the materials, including learning 15th century techniques for smelting, created a toaster. Reflecting upon that project in today's world, is the topic of this episode. Where we dive into the philosophy of design needing a refresh in todays world in order to live in better harmony with our reality.

Elizabeth Minnich discusses her remarkable new book "The Evil of Banality- On the Life and Death Importance of Thinking." At the heart of Minnich's book is an examination of the phenomenon of what she calls Extensive Evil, where many people allow some sort of evil to occur. American Slavery, the Holocaust, and the Genocide in Rwanda are three examples of Extensive Evil (as opposed to Intensive Evil, in which an evil act is perpetrated by an individual or small group of people. Minnich contends that it is when we live life thoughtlessly that we so easily become participants in evil on a widespread scale. Minnich worked for many years with Hannah Arendt, who coined the phrase "the banality of evil" in the early 1960s and was harshly criticized for it.

An author, an archivist, a barista, a criminal, and a fighter. Five people who should have nothing in common, but they are five people who see the dreams of mortals and live among them - they are Changelings. From their modest coffee shop in downtown Washington D.C., their lives will be upended by prophecy, dynastic succession, and the sheer power of the Dreaming. Can they walk the narrow line between Banality and Bedlam? Link: https://hallowedhavenstudios.com/district-of-dreams RSS Feed: https://feeds.castos.com/d28q5

In this final installment of my interview with Christopher Brown, author of “A Natural History of Empty Lots”--a blend of nature writing, memoir and literary nonfiction that's also a manifesto for rewilding our cities and ourselves–we talk about what's getting his creative ears perked up these days, where his throughline is leading him next, and his answers to my final fast five questions. We covered: - The full moon he saw hovering just over a McDonald's glowing arches that reminded him of nature's cosmic majesty amid the banality of everyday life - A string of great book recommendations, including the so called ‘anti-memoir' he read last year that is giving him ideas about how write without following any rules - Figuring out what comes after you've made a big creative pivot - The habit he gave up in order to have more time to write - The California stoner rock band he listens to when he's “trying to get going” and the Bach song he's learning to play on guitar that helps him get centered - The time of day and year that offers him “maximum tranquility” Visit Christopher at https://christopherbrown.com/ and sign up for his Field Notes newsletter at https://fieldnotes.christopherbrown.com/.

On Zone of Interest and Holocaust film.   [Patreon Exclusive]   We discuss the winner of the Oscar for Best International Feature Film – one that split opinion, among critics and on the pod too! How does the film fit in the pantheon of Holocaust films? Is it a Holocaust film? How well does it deal with its obvious subject matter: the banality of evil? Is the film neutral and detached or preachy, condescending, moralising? What to make of the commentary around the film, including director Jonathan Glazer's statements? How does it relate to Israel/Palestine? What to make of present-day Auschwitz? Should it be preserved?

"Theory from Theater" (Season 4, Episode 2), the new episode of our season, dropped Monday, May 6. We called to the Bimah director, playwright, and performance artist Jesse Freedman (he/him). Based in New York City, Jesse is the Artistic Director of Meta-Phys Ed., a multidisciplinary performance group that grapples with philosophical and political ideas through a Jewish lens. His genre-defying works often blend theater, dance, music, and absurdist humor to interrogate questions of morality, identity, and power. We spoke with Jesse about his recent production "The Banality of Evil", which went up at The Brick Theater in Brooklyn last month. Inspired by the seminal writings of political theorist Hannah Arendt, the show uses neo-noir aesthetics and vaudevillian spectacle to wrestle with the disturbing implications of Arendt's coverage of the Eichmann trial. Jesse shared his process for physicalizing intellectual debates on stage, and how Jewish thought and performance traditions inform his approach to such challenging material. As the founder of Meta-Phys Ed., Jesse also reflected on the company's evolution over the past decade, from its origins to its current explorations of secular Jewish identity through experimental performance. We discussed the unique possibilities of using theater as a form of philosophical inquiry. Looking ahead, Jesse gave us a preview of Meta-Phys Ed.'s upcoming projects, including a new devised work that will use machine learning to generate a fragmented, dystopian take on Hamlet. He shared his hopes for inspiring more artists to engage with the spiritual and cultural dimensions of Jewishness in their practices. "On the Bimah" continues to illuminate the heart, soul, and diversity of contemporary Jewish theatre, guided by your host Danielle Levsky. This podcast is an Alliance for Jewish Theatre program, produced by Danny Debner and Danielle Levsky. Our theme music is by Ilya Levinson and Alex Koffman, and our logo is by Alize Francheska Rozsnyai. CORRECTION: In this episode, we mistakenly referred to a specific project being inspired by the work of Tony Kushner. The correct attribution would be to Moises Kaufman. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused in your listening experience.

In this episode, I explain Hannah Arendt's notion of the Banality of Evil and its relevance to the Israel-Palestine "conflict."

Watching Sean Hannity casually ask Curtis Sliwa to turn the cameras toward Sliwa's Guardian Angels crew “taking down” a person they perceived to be an undocumented migrant in the streets of New York stuck with me. This particular moment falls so far down on the list of horrifying takes from Hannity and Fox News but for some reason it hit a nerve. The detached indifference of the brief affair prompted me to revisit the writings of Hannah Arendt, one of the great 20th Century philosophers who tackled totalitarianism and morality. This sent me on a journey to examine the way in which the tragedy in Gaza is covered, how we speak about undocumented migrants in this country and our relationship with violence in general.
