Podcasts about Bergland

Emily Dickinson and Charles Darwin both saw nature as alive with mystery – and treated wonder as a way of knowing. Literary scholar and science historian Renee Bergland, author of "Natural Magic," is our guide to the forgotten kinship between the reclusive poet and the celebrated naturalist. Dickinson and Darwin never met, but they had at least one close friend in common. Both were both fascinated by fossils. Both wandered the woods and swamps near their homes, studying insects and documenting rare plants. They shared a vision of the interconnectedness of all life. We know that Dickinson, with her background in botany, geology, astronomy and chemistry, was enthralled by Darwin's evolutionary theory. And it certainly seems possible that Darwin, with his degree in theology and his lifelong love of poetry and literature, might have admired the American poet whose close observations and delicate perceptions echoed his own. Bergland's dual biography, just out in paper, is vivid, sparkling intellectual history – a window onto a time when scientific thinking still embraced emotion and wonder as modes of perception. Could the belief in “natural magic” that infused Dickinson's and Darwin's ideas restore our own faith in a universe alive with meaning? Our conversation about the poet who studied natural history and the naturalist who loved poetry suggests a way forward – by reclaiming their shared ecological wonder. — Now out in paperback: "Natural Magic: Emily Dickinson, Charles Darwin, and the Dawn of Modern Science" Previous books from Renee Bergland: "Maria Mitchell and the Sexing of Science: An Astronomer Among the American Romantics" and "The National Uncanny: Indian Ghosts and American Subjects"  —0:00 — Meeting Renee Bergland9:00 — What Is Natural Magic?20:00 — Beauty, Truth, and Evolution34:00 — Hope and the Garden of Change Wonder Cabinet is hosted by Anne Strainchamps and Steve Paulson.

Für Elisabet erfüllte sich die Zeit, dass sie gebären sollte, und sie brachte einen Sohn zur Welt. Ihre Nachbarn und Verwandten hörten, welch großes Erbarmen der Herr ihr erwiesen hatte, und freuten sich mit ihr. Und es geschah: Am achten Tag kamen sie zur Beschneidung des Kindes und sie wollten ihm den Namen seines Vaters Zacharias geben. Seine Mutter aber widersprach und sagte: Nein, sondern er soll Johannes heißen. Sie antworteten ihr: Es gibt doch niemanden in deiner Verwandtschaft, der so heißt. Da fragten sie seinen Vater durch Zeichen, welchen Namen das Kind haben solle. Er verlangte ein Schreibtäfelchen und schrieb darauf: Johannes ist sein Name. Und alle staunten. Im gleichen Augenblick konnte er Mund und Zunge wieder gebrauchen und er redete und pries Gott. Und alle ihre Nachbarn gerieten in Furcht und man sprach von all diesen Dingen im ganzen Bergland von Judäa. Alle, die davon hörten, nahmen es sich zu Herzen und sagten: Was wird wohl aus diesem Kind werden? Denn die Hand des Herrn war mit ihm. 

Das Periyar-Schutzgebiet liegt mitten im Bergland der Westghats im indischen Bundesstaat Kerala. Im dortigen "Wildlife Sanctuary" sind auch Tiger zuhause, die sich aber nur sehr ungern den Besuchern zeigen.

LOGAN HEALTH DRS. BERGLAND, SIOMOS TRT: 19:40 ROBOTIC ASSISTED SURGERY

Seit vielen Jahren beten wir hier im Domradio gemeinsam den Morgenimpuls. In dieser ersten Adventswoche muss ich wegen einer Fuß-OP eine Pause machen. Deswegen gibt es in der ersten Adventswoche Wiederholungen aus den vergangenen Jahren. Ich freue mich, wenn wir nächste Woche dann wieder gemeinsam beten können:Vom 12. Dezember 2023:Im thüringischen Eichsfeld, wo ich geboren und aufgewachsen bin, gibt es viele Wallfahrtsorte und die meisten sind Marienwallfahrtsorte. Der bekannteste ist sicher Etzelsbach geworden, weil Papst Benedikt dort 2011 mit 90 000 Eichsfeldern eine Vesper gebetet hat. Eines der Wallfahrtslieder zur Gottesmutter ist das berühmte "Maria, durch ein Dornwald ging“ das aus dem Eichsfeld stammt. Ich kenne es von Kindheit an und mochte es wegen der schönen Melodie aber auch wegen des etwas geheimnisvollen Textes.Es wird die Szene besungen, dass sich Maria aufmacht, um ihre verwandte Elisabeth zu besuchen, die etwa 100 km entfernt im Bergland von Judäa wohnt und ebenso schwanger ist. Für eine 14-jährige Frau ist dieser Weg voller Dornen und Gefahren. Aber ihre gesamte Situation ist mehr als mühsam: seit der Verkündigung durch den Engel hat sie ihr Leben Gott anvertraut, sie trägt den Sohn Gottes und kann es ihren Mitmenschen und ihrem Umfeld kaum vermitteln, Josef, ihr Verlobter weiß noch von nichts, die Eltern sind entsetzt und die Nachbarn tuscheln, die Freundinnen wissen genau, dass das schiefgehen wird, wenn das bekannt wird… und so weiter.Aber etwas ist anders: sie geht den Weg nicht allein. Sie geht ihn mit dem, dem sie Mutter werden wird. Und in diesem Glauben und ziemlich grenzenlosen Vertrauen tragen sogar die Dornen am Ende Rosen. Die Dornen sind nicht weg, sie sind weiterhin lästig und stachelig und gefährlich. Aber sie tragen die Rosen des tiefen Gottvertrauens und den Duft einer großen göttlichen Liebe.Viele Menschen haben im Moment unter sehr vielen Dornen und Stacheln zu leiden. Unter Kriegen und Vertreibungen, unter Krankheiten und Schwächen, unter Existenzängsten und negativen Vorahnungen, unter Geldknappheit und Angst um den Arbeitsplatz. Erbitten wir Gottes Schutz und Geleit durch diese gefahrvollen Zeiten und gib uns eine Ahnung von diesem GOTT MIT UNS SEIN. 

Vor Jahrzehnten umgebracht und anonym vergraben: Noch immer ruhen in spanischen Massengräbern tausende Überreste von Menschen, die dem Regime des Diktators Franco zum Opfer fielen. Ihre Exhumierung bleibt umstritten. Spanien tut sich schwer im Umgang mit der eigenen Geschichte. Eigentlich könnte dieses Jahr in Spanien als Jubiläumsjahr der Demokratie gelten. Denn genau vor 50 Jahren starb Diktator Francisco Franco, der das Land während fast vier Jahrzehnten mit harter Hand regiert hatte. Sein Tod am 27. November 1975 ebnete den Weg zu einer demokratischen Ordnung. Trotzdem herrscht in Spanien heute nicht durchgehend Feierlaune. In Sachen Aufarbeitung der eigenen Geschichte zieht sich ein weiter Graben durch die Gesellschaft. Stellvertretend dafür stehen die nach wie vor pendenten Exhumierungen von Opfern des Regimes. Viele Angehörige warten noch immer darauf, dass die Gebeine ihrer Grossväter oder Grossmütter in den Massengräbern identifiziert werden. Währenddessen streitet die Politik darüber, wie das Land mit dem Erbe der Diktatur umgehen soll. Wie soll es weitergehen mit den Ausgrabungen? Oder: Was soll mit dem gigantischen Monument «Valle de los Caídos» geschehen, das Francisco Franco im nordmadrilenischen Bergland errichten liess?

Armenien, das kleine Land im Südkaukasus, hat kaum Freunde in der Region: Es sieht sich bedroht von den beiden grossen Nachbarn Aserbaidschan und Türkei, daran vermag auch das aktuelle Friedensabkommen (noch) nichts ändern. Eine Reise durch das verängstigte Bergland. Die Lage ist ungemütlich, seit Jahrzehnten schon. Im Osten Armeniens liegt Aserbaidschan, das Land, das vor zwei Jahren die armenische Bevölkerung aus Bergkarabach vertrieben hat und wo der Machthaber sogar Ansprüche auf ganz Armenien formuliert. Im Westen wiederum grenzt Armenien an die Türkei. Das Land, das sich bis heute weigert, anzuerkennen, dass es im Ersten Weltkrieg an der armenischen Bevölkerung einen Völkermord verübt hat. Bemühungen darum, das Verhältnis zum grossen Nachbarn zu normalisieren, stocken weiterhin. Zwar konnte sich das kleine Armenien lange auf Russland als Schutzmacht abstützen. Doch seit dem Ukrainekrieg setzt der Kreml seine Prioritäten anders. Dafür verkündet Donald Trump, mit einem neuen Abkommen Frieden in den Südkaukasus gebracht zu haben. Doch sein Vertrag mit Armenien und Aserbaidschan ist unverbindlich und lässt viele Fragen offen. Eine Reise durch die Grenzgebiete Armeniens zeigt: Die Unsicherheit im Land ist gross, die Debatte um den richtigen Umgang mit den Nachbarn nimmt die gesamte Politik in Beschlag. Trotzdem hat die Armenierin Schahane Chatschikjan Hoffnung: «Wir werden nie mit allen beste Freunde sein, aber gute Verhältnisse sind möglich.»

In jenen Tagen machte sich Maria auf den Weg und eilte in eine Stadt im Bergland von Judäa. Sie ging in das Haus des Zacharías und begrüßte Elisabet. Und es geschah: Als Elisabet den Gruß Marias hörte, hüpfte das Kind in ihrem Leib. Da wurde Elisabet vom Heiligen Geist erfüllt und rief mit lauter Stimme: Gesegnet bist du unter den Frauen und gesegnet ist die Frucht deines Leibes. Wer bin ich, dass die Mutter meines Herrn zu mir kommt? Denn siehe, in dem Augenblick, als ich deinen Gruß hörte, hüpfte das Kind vor Freude in meinem Leib. Und selig, die geglaubt hat, dass sich erfüllt, was der Herr ihr sagen ließ.Da sagte Maria: Meine Seele preist die Größe des Herrn und mein Geist jubelt über Gott, meinen Retter. Denn auf die Niedrigkeit seiner Magd hat er geschaut. Siehe, von nun an preisen mich selig alle Geschlechter. Denn der Mächtige hat Großes an mir getan und sein Name ist heilig. Er erbarmt sich von Geschlecht zu Geschlecht über alle, die ihn fürchten. Er vollbringt mit seinem Arm machtvolle Taten: Er zerstreut, die im Herzen voll Hochmut sind; er stürzt die Mächtigen vom Thron und erhöht die Niedrigen. Die Hungernden beschenkt er mit seinen Gaben und lässt die Reichen leer ausgehen. Er nimmt sich seines Knechtes Israel an und denkt an sein Erbarmen, das er unsern Vätern verheißen hat, Abraham und seinen Nachkommen auf ewig. Und Maria blieb etwa drei Monate bei ihr; dann kehrte sie nach Hause zurück.

Barbara Piatti ist Literaturgeografin und beschäftigt sich mit dem Verhältnis zwischen Landschaft und Literatur. Also mit der Frage, wo welche Literatur spielt und warum. Im Talk zur Sommerserie «Höhenfieber» redet sie über die Literatur in den Bergen. Namentlich über die in der Zentralschweiz. Denn im alpinen Raum der Zentralschweiz, also im Bergland zwischen dem Vierwaldstättersee und der Gotthard-Passhöhe, steckt ganz besonders viel Literatur. Natürlich Schillers Tell aber auch Texte von Goethe und Werke von Meinrad Inglin, August Strindberg, Mark Twain, Christina Viragh und vielen anderen. Im Gespräch mich Michael Luisier erzählt die Autorin und Literaturgeografin Barbara Piatti von den grossen Geschichten der Zentralschweiz und von der immer noch unbekannten Forschungsdisziplin Literaturgeografie. Erwähntes Buch: Barbara Piatti. Es lächelt der See. Literarische Wanderungen in der Zentralschweiz. 450 Seiten. Rotpunktverlag.

Für Elisabet erfüllte sich die Zeit, dass sie gebären sollte, und sie brachte einen Sohn zur Welt. Ihre Nachbarn und Verwandten hörten, welch großes Erbarmen der Herr ihr erwiesen hatte, und freuten sich mit ihr. Am achten Tag kamen sie zur Beschneidung des Kindes und sie wollten ihm den Namen seines Vaters Zacharias geben. Seine Mutter aber widersprach und sagte: Nein, sondern er soll Johannes heißen. Sie antworteten ihr: Es gibt doch niemanden in deiner Verwandtschaft, der so heißt. Da fragten sie seinen Vater durch Zeichen welchen Namen das Kind haben solle. Er verlangte ein Schreibtäfelchen und schrieb darauf: Johannes ist sein Name. Und alle staunten. Im gleichen Augenblick konnte er Mund und Zunge wieder gebrauchen und er redete und pries Gott. Und alle ihre Nachbarn gerieten in Furcht und man sprach von all diesen Dingen im ganzen Bergland von Judäa. Alle, die davon hörten, nahmen es sich zu Herzen und sagten: Was wird wohl aus diesem Kind werden? Denn die Hand des Herrn war mit ihm. Das Kind wuchs heran und wurde stark im Geist. Und es lebte in der Wüste bis zu dem Tag, an dem es seinen Auftrag für Israel erhielt. (© Ständige Kommission für die Herausgabe der gemeinsamen liturgischen Bücher im deutschen Sprachgebiet)

Bruder Christian Die letzten Tage des Advents. Die Zeit des Wartens und Vorbereitens erfüllt sich in großer Freude. Einen Vorgeschmack dieser Freunde zeigt das Evangelium am vierten Adventssonntag. [Evangelium: Lukas, Kapitel 1, Verse 39 bis 45] In jenen Tagen machte sich Maria auf den Weg und eilte in eine Stadt im Bergland von Judäa. Sie ging in das Haus des Zacharías und begrüßte Elisabet. Und es geschah: Als Elisabet den Gruß Marias hörte, hüpfte das Kind in ihrem Leib.

Emily Dickinson and Charles Darwin were born at a time when the science of studying the natural world was known as natural philosophy, a pastime for poets, priests, and schoolgirls. The world began to change in the 1830s, while Darwin was exploring the Pacific aboard the Beagle and Dickinson was a student in Amherst, Massachusetts. Poetry and science started to grow apart, and modern thinkers challenged the old orthodoxies, offering thrilling new perspectives that suddenly felt radical—and too dangerous for women. Natural Magic: Emily Dickinson, Charles Darwin, and the Dawn of Modern Science (Princeton University Press, 2024) intertwines the stories of these two luminary nineteenth-century minds whose thought and writings captured the awesome possibilities of the new sciences and at the same time strove to preserve the magic of nature. Just as Darwin's work was informed by his roots in natural philosophy and his belief in the interconnectedness of all life, Dickinson's poetry was shaped by her education in botany, astronomy, and chemistry, and by her fascination with the enchanting possibilities of Darwinian science. Casting their two very different careers in an entirely fresh light, Renée Bergland brings to life a time when ideas about science were rapidly evolving, reshaped by poets, scientists, philosophers, and theologians alike. She paints a colorful portrait of a remarkable century that transformed how we see the natural world. Illuminating and insightful, Natural Magic explores how Dickinson and Darwin refused to accept the separation of art and science. Today, more than ever, we need to reclaim their shared sense of ecological wonder. Renée Bergland is professor of literature and creative writing at Simmons University. She is the author of Maria Mitchell and the Sexing of Science: An Astronomer among the American Romantics and The National Uncanny: Indian Ghosts and American Subjects. 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.

How do the works of Emily Dickinson and Charles Darwin continue to influence our understanding of nature, ecological interdependence, and the human experience? How does understanding history help us address current social and environmental issues. How can dialogues between the arts and sciences foster holistic, sustainable solutions to global crises?Renée Bergland is a literary critic, historian of science, and educator. As a storyteller, Bergland connects the lives of historical figures to the problems of the present day. As an educator, she emphasizes the interdisciplinary connections between the sciences and humanities. A longtime professor at Simmons University, where she is the Program director of Literature and writing, Bergland has also researched and taught at institutions such as Dartmouth College, Harvard University, and MIT. Bergland's past published titles include Maria Mitchell and the Sexing of Science: An Astronomer Among the American Romantics and The National Uncanny: Indian Ghosts and American Subjects. Her most recent book, Natural Magic: Emily Dickinson, Charles Darwin, and the Dawn of Modern Science, was published in April of 2024. It explores Dickinson and Darwin's shared enchanted view of the natural world in a time when poetry and natural philosophy, once freely intertwined, began to grow apart.“There is a stronger connection between Dickinson and Darwin than the proximity of history. Or the universality of literature. They both understood natural science and the natural world in ways that seem strange and somewhat surprising in the 21st century. Their 19th century attitudes to nature and the study of it are so different from ours that when we trace their stories, a vanished world begins to emerge. The more I consider these figures together, the more I feel their world and my world. come alive. Darwin and Dickinson illuminate each other.

It explores Dickinson and Darwin's shared enchanted view of the natural world in a time when poetry and natural philosophy, once freely intertwined, began to grow apart.“One of the poems of Dickinson's that I think explains Darwin the best starts out, ‘There is a flower that bees prefer / and butterflies desire.' She's talking about the clover, and in that poem she describes the clover and the grass as kinsmen. They're related to each other, but they're contending, she says, for sod and sun. They are competing to see who can get the most soil, the most nutrients, but she calls them ‘sweet litigants for life.' And that interpretation of Darwinism, where they're sweet and they're struggling, but they're both actually litigants for life, they're both arguing for the biosphere and advocates—that takes us back to the first lines of the poem. ‘There's a flower that bees prefer / and butterflies desire.' The way that the clover and the grass compete is by trying to see who can be more beautiful, who can be more brightly colored, who can smell better, who can lure more pollinators, more insects and birds and collaborate better with them, and have a better chance of surviving. That is certainly a version of survival of the fittest, but it's not a dog eat dog violent version. It's a version where the way you get a generational advantage, and perhaps have more little clovers following in your footsteps, is by collaborating better, by making yourself more beautiful, more alluring, and more inviting, inviting pollinators to work with you. That's straight from Darwin. Darwin's very clear in On the Origin of Species that when he talks about the struggle for life, he's primarily talking about co-adaptation and collaboration between species that can learn to work together. He's the one who actually, as he explains the struggle for life, says it's nothing like two dogs fighting over a bone. That's not what it is. But unfortunately, a lot of that co-adaptation language got lost in the popular imagination. And that's one of the reasons that turning to Dickinson can help us understand—because she so beautifully depicts a Darwinian world where, yes, there's death, but there's more than anything, there's life.”www.reneebergland.comhttps://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691235288/natural-magicwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

Siemens Energy has announced plans to hire 10,000 new employees over the next six years as part of a $1.3 billion investment to boost its grid technologies business. GE Vernova has received approximately $30 million in funding from the Norwegian state agency Enova to build a prototype 15.5 MW offshore wind turbine. Invenergy and Patria Investimentos have jointly acquired a 600-megawatt wind power portfolio in Brazil. The U.S. Department of the Interior has announced an offshore wind energy lease sale in the Central Atlantic, scheduled for August 14, 2024.

Siemens energy has announced plans to hire 10, 000 new employees over the next six years as part of a 1. 3 billion investment to boost its grid technologies business. The company aims to capitalize on growing demand for electricity and grid equipment. The new hires will be spread across Europe. The US, India, and other parts of Asia and Latin America. Siemens Energy's grid technologies unit has seen orders more than double in recent years from 7. 6 billion in 2021 to 16. 3 billion in 2023. Okay, Phil. There's a lot happening on the electricity grid market besides on the renewable wind turbine solar panel side. Looks like Siemens Energy is taking advantage of that. Philip Totaro: Their thermal business is still going pretty strong. Obviously the wind business is not so strong. But this is what we call in the industry kind of a classical pivot. Which is to say if you can't sell your wind turbines, then let's figure out how to do something else in the meantime. While the wind division gets its act together. So this is something that's actually going to help facilitate future sales by ensuring that they've got more grid related technology deployed. And since there's so much grid modernization necessary around the world and just new greenfield build out of. Needed transmission, particularly to help facilitate wind. I think this eventually is, is gonna, play right into the hands of their power generation business units. Joel Saxum: Yeah. As Siemens Energy looks to do a little bit of recovery in the wind sector from this past few years, I think. Think there's a pretty good strategic play here, right? If you're them and you're talking to some large grid operator or a utility, and it looks like they're going to, he's have some BOP money to spend and build a new wind farm. Well, why not package it all up? Let's sell them wind farm, let's sell them BOP, grid integration and grid technology kit as well. So these two things could play together. This is also on the heels of one of their biggest competitors, Schneider electric being, being named the most sustainable company in their sector in the world. Allen Hall: GE Vernova has received approximately 30 million in funding from the Norwegian state agency Innova to build a 15. 5 megawatt offshore wind turbine. The turbine will be installed on land at the Bergland based in Norway and tested for up to five years starting in 2025. After testing,

Emily Dickinson and Charles Darwin were born at a time when the science of studying the natural world was known as natural philosophy, a pastime for poets, priests, and schoolgirls. The world began to change in the 1830s, while Darwin was exploring the Pacific aboard the Beagle and Dickinson was a student in Amherst, Massachusetts. Poetry and science started to grow apart, and modern thinkers challenged the old orthodoxies, offering thrilling new perspectives that suddenly felt radical--and too dangerous for women. Natural Magic: Emily Dickinson, Charles Darwin, and the Dawn of Modern Science (Princeton UP, 2024) intertwines the stories of these two luminary nineteenth-century minds whose thought and writings captured the awesome possibilities of the new sciences and at the same time strove to preserve the magic of nature. Just as Darwin's work was informed by his roots in natural philosophy and his belief in the interconnectedness of all life, Dickinson's poetry was shaped by her education in botany, astronomy, and chemistry, and by her fascination with the enchanting possibilities of Darwinian science. Casting their two very different careers in an entirely fresh light, Renée Bergland brings to life a time when ideas about science were rapidly evolving, reshaped by poets, scientists, philosophers, and theologians alike. She paints a colorful portrait of a remarkable century that transformed how we see the natural world. Illuminating and insightful, Natural Magic explores how Dickinson and Darwin refused to accept the separation of art and science. Today, more than ever, we need to reclaim their shared sense of ecological wonder. Learn more about your ad choices.

Casting their two very different careers in an entirely fresh light, Renée Bergland brings to life a time when ideas about science were rapidly evolving, reshaped by poets, scientists, philosophers, and theologians alike. She paints a colorful portrait of a remarkable century that transformed how we see the natural world. Illuminating and insightful, Natural Magic explores how Dickinson and Darwin refused to accept the separation of art and science. Today, more than ever, we need to reclaim their shared sense of ecological wonder. Learn more about your ad choices.

Emily Dickinson and Charles Darwin were born at a time when the science of studying the natural world was known as natural philosophy, a pastime for poets, priests, and schoolgirls. The world began to change in the 1830s, while Darwin was exploring the Pacific aboard the Beagle and Dickinson was a student in Amherst, Massachusetts. Poetry and science started to grow apart, and modern thinkers challenged the old orthodoxies, offering thrilling new perspectives that suddenly felt radical--and too dangerous for women.
