This week on Babel, Jon Alterman speaks with Dr. Craig Larkin, director of the Center for the Study of Divided Societies at King's College London. Dr. Larkin is also a research lead on Memory and Conflict for XCEPT, a research consortium studying cross-border conflict. There, he focuses on the relationship between communal memory and violence. Together, Jon and Dr. Larkin unpack different approaches taken to reconstruction and reconciliation after violence in the Middle East. Then, in his farewell Babel appearance, Martin Pimentel takes Jon's spot by continuing the conversation with Ninar Fawal and Will Todman to discuss pitfalls the international community should avoid when supporting post-conflict recovery. Transcript: "Craig Larkin: The Politics of Memory, From Mosul to Beirut to Gaza," CSIS, April 17, 2025. Dr. Larkin's latest work: "Lebanon's October Revolution (al-thawra 17 tishrīn) and the Civil War: Memory, Protests and Mobilisation," Brill, December 3, 2024.

Send us a textDan is out sick so we go back into the vaults to release one of our favorite episodes! Enjoy!Professional wrestling blurs the lines between reality and entertainment, but 1989's "No Holds Barred" obliterates them completely. We journey into the bizarre world of Hulk Hogan's first starring film role and discover a movie that doesn't just feature wrestling—it creates an entire universe where wrestling is the world.The premise seems straightforward: Hulk plays Rip, a wrestling superstar pursued by unscrupulous network executive Brill (Kurt Fuller) who creates his own violent wrestling program featuring the monstrous Zeus (Tiny Lister) after Rip rejects his blank check offer. But what unfolds is a baffling cinematic experience where normal societal rules don't apply, character motivations make no sense, and the primary trait identifying villains is their mistreatment of women.We analyze the strange production choices throughout—from awkward ADR and slow fight choreography to confusing scene transitions and inexplicable character decisions. Yet amidst the chaos, certain moments achieve an accidental brilliance, like the infamous bathroom scene featuring a chained dog that provides one of the film's few genuine laughs. The movie culminates with Hulk essentially murdering two people on live television to audience applause, cementing our view that Rip might actually be the villain of his own story.What makes "No Holds Barred" particularly fascinating is its behind-the-scenes story. Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan themselves reportedly rewrote the entire script over a brief period, explaining why Brill seems modeled after McMahon's own public persona. The result is a film that serves as both a bizarre cultural artifact and a cautionary tale about wrestling's difficult transition to conventional narrative filmmaking.Whether you're a wrestling fan curious about this strange chapter in Hulkamania history or a bad movie enthusiast looking for your next bewildering watch, join us as we bodyslam this cinematic oddity and somehow find genuine entertainment in its spectacular failure.Written Lovingly with AIBe our friend!Dan: @shakybaconTony: @tonydczechAnd follow the podcast on IG: @hatewatchingDAT

Uno de los primeros grandes éxitos de Tata Ramos nos permite recordar las producciones de la disquera "DuArte" otro de los esfuerzos independientes que, gracias a la industria del disco cubano y a todas las garantías legales que permitían su desarrollo, fundó a finales de los años 50 el destacado pianista, compositor, arreglista, productor musical y líder de orquesta: Ernesto Duarte. Músico todo terreno incidió en el ambiente artístico musical de los años 50 impulsando las carreras de no pocas promesas del canto. Entre ellas Tata Ramos. Alquimista del jazz band cubano, Duarte ganaba prestigio ya durante el primer lustro de los 50 al frente de su orquesta grabando para la etiqueta norteamericana RCA Víctor. En sus filas vocalistas como Eddy Ríos, El Fantasmita, Utrilla y Fernando González. Beny Moré, recién llegado de México, después de una breve estancia en Santiago de Cuba con la orquesta de Mariano Mercerón, consiguió reubicar su carrera en la capital de la república como cantante de la banda de Ernesto Duarte. Otros intérpretes impulsados por el genio melódico y armónico de Duarte fueron Rolando Laserie, Rolo Martínez y Fernando González. Buenos intérpretes que, en ese mismo orden, le ponen lo suyo a nuestra banda sonora. Fernando González hasta el final de sus días fue un irreductible defensor de la memoria del maestro Ernesto Duarte cuya imagen en Cuba ha sido sistemáticamente distorsionada. Buen recuerdo para Daniel Ponce, notable percusionista y rumbero cubano fallecido en la ciudad de Miami el 14 de marzo del 2013. Con varios cortes de una producción discográfica grabada en la ciudad de Nueva York en enero de 1983, tres años después de su llegada a los Estados Unidos, recordamos su paso por los escenarios como valioso exponente del jazz y la música popular cubana. Daniel Ponce habia nacido el 21 de Julio de 1953 en La Habana. Música popular cubana por el mundo. Algo de nuestro cancionero más relevante en las voces más destacadas de México. El catálogo Víctor de finales de los años 30 nos devuelve a una juvenil Toña la negra. La notable vocalista veracruzana, con la orquesta del maestro Alfredo Brito, nos recuerda el afro de Guillermo Rodríguez Fiffe: "Negro con capa" y el bolero del pianista Julio Gutiérrez: "Llanto de luna". Y de las producciones en 78 revoluciones x minuto del veterano sello Víctor nos vamos a la pantalla cinematográfica del cine de oro azteca. Sin dudas fue Germán Valdés "Tin Tan" uno de sus figuras icónicas. Talentoso humorista sobresalió igualmente como vocalista. "La gloria eres tú", es una de las piezas claves del feelin' cubano, autoría del King: José Antonio Méndez. Pedro Vargas, el tenor de las Américas, durante sus presentaciones en La Habana hizo suyas numerosas canciones y boleros de compositores cubanos. "El amor de mi bohío" es una hermosa guajira del maestro Julio Brito. En la despedida recordamos al maestro Richard Egües. Brilló como flautista, arreglista y compositor. En 1999 reunió a viejos y nuevos colegas para completar el álbum "Richard Egües y sus amigos". Tres clásicos de la música popular cubana a la manera de Isaac Delgado, Omara Portuondo y Rolo Martínez: "El bodeguero" del propio Richard Egües; "Noche azul" de Lecuona y "Las mulatas del cha cha chá" del entrañable Evelio Landa. Recuerda que en Cubakústica, todas las semanas, compartimos contigo más de cien años de #MusicaPopularCubana

According to the earliest gospel accounts, on the night before his crucifixion, Jesus dined with his disciples to observe the feast of the Passover and institute what would later become the Christian eucharist (or sacrament). What would it have looked like to sit down with them that night? In this episode, Professor Matthew Grey reassesses the New Testament narratives of the Last Supper, especially its physical setting and manner of dining, by examining modern research on early Jewish dining customs with archaeological data. He challenges traditional views of Jesus and his disciples dining in an affluent upper room with a Roman triclinium (banquet hall), as the event is often depicted in art. Instead, he argues that the meal likely took place in a modest, non-elite home and reflected the lower-class dining practices of the time: sitting on reed mats, sharing cooking pots in clusters of 3—4 individuals, dipping their hands or bread into the shared vessels, and passing around a shared cup of wine. Professor Grey details how examining these new perspectives might help us envision and experience a more accurate understanding of the Last Supper's historical and social setting as described in the synoptic gospels.   Publications: “‘Where May I Eat the Passover with My Disciples?': Reassessing the Urban Setting, Furnished Room, and Dining Practices of Jesus's Last Supper,” in Pushing Sacred Boundaries in Early Judaism and the Ancient Mediterranean, Brill, 2023 A Place Called Gethsemane: Seeing the New Testament Story and Site in its First-Century Context with Richard Holzapfel, Deseret Book, 2025 “Simon Peter in Capernaum: An Archaeological Survey of the First-Century Village,” in The Ministry of Peter, the Chief Apostle, Religious Studies Center, 2014   Click here to learn more about Matthew Grey

David Salomoni"Leonesse"La Storia tra le righeFestival di Letteratura StoricaSabato 5 aprile 2025, ore 15:00La storia tra le righeCastello di Legnano, Sala delle Capriatecon David Salomoni "Leonesse"C'è stato un tempo di donne in grado di guidare eserciti e di condurli in battaglia. Un tempo in cui, dall'alto delle mura di città circondate dai nemici, erano voci femminili a dare ordini e incitare gli uomini. Era il tempo delle leonesse, le donne cavaliere del Rinascimento.Chi l'ha detto che le donne del Rinascimento erano destinate unicamente a indossare splendidi abiti come Monna Lisa? O a passare la vita tra seduzione, inganni e trame come Lucrezia Borgia? In realtà in Italia è esistita una tradizione importante di donne dedite all'arte della guerra: feudatarie, capitane di ventura, donne cavaliere e anche popolane. Se Matilde di Canossa è la prima, e forse la più conosciuta, altre sono state all'epoca capaci di suscitare sconcerto e terrore per l'audacia delle proprie imprese: da Caterina Sforza a Cia Ordelaffi, da Orsina Visconti a Bona Lombardi – la Giovanna d'Arco italiana. Donne al comando di eserciti in difesa dei propri castelli, è il caso di Donella Rossi, e battaglioni interamente femminili, come quelli che combatterono a protezione di Siena e della sua indipendenza durante l'assedio dei fiorentini nel 1555.David Salomoni è docente presso l'Università per Stranieri di Siena. Ha lavorato nel Dipartimento di Storia e Filosofia della scienza dell'Università di Lisbona nell'ambito del progetto ERC Rutter: Making the Earth Global e nel 2022 è stato Berenson Fellow presso l'Harvard University Center for Italian Renaissance Studies a Villa I Tatti.Tra le sue più recenti pubblicazioni, Scuola, maestri e scolari nelle comunità degli stati gonzagheschi e estensi (Anicia 2017) e Educating the Catholic People: Religious Orders and Their Schools in Early Modern Italy (1500-1800) (Brill 2021).

Those of us who have some background in Jewish history are taught that the Ottoman Empire encouraged Jews, particularly those of the Spanish and Portuguese Expulsions, to settle in Ottoman Lands.  In Ottoman Jewry: Leadership, Charity, and Literacy (Brill, 2024), Professor Ayalon debunks what he calls that myth. The Ottomans, according to Yaron, were interested in stability - economic and otherwise. Minorities, with their additional taxes, would bring more financial benefits. Many were merchants who would pay higher taxes. With this premise, we discussed the world of the Ottoman Jews as one of creating community and society. There were Romaniot, Sephardim, Msta'ribun and some Ashkenazim who settled across these lands, and together they created strong communities with Rabbinic and lay leadership and a cultural heritage that can still be seen today in those communities who have survived and relocated around the world.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Hindu goddess Kali, often depicted as dark blue, fierce, defiant, revelling in her power, and holding in her four or more arms a curved sword and a severed head with a cup underneath to catch the blood. She may have her tongue out, to catch more blood spurting from her enemies, be wearing a garland of more severed heads and a skirt of severed hands and yet she is also a nurturing mother figure, known in West Bengal as ‘Maa Kali' and she can be fiercely protective. Sometimes she is shown as young and conventionally beautiful and at other times as old, emaciated and hungry, so defying any narrow definition.WithBihani Sarkar Senior Lecturer in Comparative Non-Western Thought at Lancaster UniversityJulius Lipner Professor Emeritus of Hinduism and the Comparative Study of Religion at the University of CambridgeAnd Jessica Frazier Lecturer in the Study of Religion at the University of Oxford and fellow at the Oxford Centre for Hindu StudiesDuring this discussion, Julius Lipner reads a translation of a poem by Kamalakanta (c.1769–1821) "Is my black Mother Syama really black?"

Bruce Brill is a former analyst for the US National Security Agency called NSA. During his tenure in the early 1970s he became aware of intelligence indicating imminent attacks on Israel by Egypt and Syria prior to the Yom Kippur war in 1973. He asserts that this critical information was withheld from Israeli authorities and Egypt and Syria attacked Israel on Yom Kippur.  More than 2660 Israeli soldiers were killed.    The surprise attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 exactly 50 years almost to the day 1300 Israeli's were killed and more than a 130 were taken hostage..  This was also a surprise attack similar to Yom Kippur 11973,   Bruce shares a fascinating story with me.  He wrote a book Deceit of an Ally and discusses it with me. The books is available on Amazon.  It's a good read and flows like a spy thriller.  Bruce Brill is an independent journalist and former U.S. National Security Agency Middle East analyst. He's been published in the Jerusalem Post, Washington Times, Christian Science Monitor, Midstream, Jewish Spectator, Jerusalem Report, others.

Liana's work focuses on Islamic esotericism and the occult sciences, with a special interest in the exchange of esoteric and occult knowledge between the Islamic and Latin inhabited lands. Her book The Arabic Influences on Early Modern Occult Philosophy was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2015. She is currently preparing a long-awaited critical translation from Arabic into English of the grimoire known as the Picatrix. A few of her research projects include the tenth-century secret brotherhood known as The Brethren of Purity, and the pseudo-Aristotelian Hermetica. She also worked as a project curator at the British Museum, deepening her interest in the material and artistic manifestations of the occult and the esoteric.Liana is a founding member of the European Network for the Study of Islam and Esotericism (ENSIE). Editorial roles include being a board member for Aries: Journal for the Study of Western Esotericism and Brill's Islamic Translation Series, and an associate editor of the journal Early Science and Medicine.In this interview, Liana speaks at length about Islamic Esotericism. This is an area of esoteric history that I haven't yet touched upon, so I was happy that Liana agreed to share her extensive knowledge on this topic. Some highlights of our discussion include: why the views and discourse of Islam within the area of “Western” esotericism is problematic; academic debates and disagreements in this area, how Liana defines Islamic esotericism, including paradigms and social orientations; and why the relationship between the idea of an eternal truth and the Islamic law raises anxiety in how Islamic esotericism is interpreted. Liana also discusses her research that deals with the 17th century Maltese inquisition, in particular the trial of Sellem the Moor, a Muslim enslaved person who was accused of being a magician. This work is part of a larger volume called Magic in Malta, and Liana examines this trial on three interconnected levels, and is a down-to-earth, practical example of how magic was being used by people at this time. Be sure to check out the program notes for links to all of the articles discussed in this episode.

     As Christians, the Bible reveals we live in a fallen world and face attacks on three fronts. These include Satan, the world, and the flesh. First, Satan is a fallen angel who rules and leads other fallen angels to rebel against God. Fallen angels are also referred to as evil spirits, unclean spirits, and demons. Second, Satan and his demonic forces have created a world-system that is wholly opposed to God and His will. Satan's world-system is a realm of spiritual darkness that envelops lost humanity—and carnal Christians—and consists of those philosophies, values, and practices that appeal to pride and the flesh. Third, the flesh refers to the fallen sinful nature that every person possesses (including Christians), which constantly entices us to act contrary to God and His Word. These three spiritual dangers threaten the Christian's spiritual life and effectiveness in the world. Though eternal salvation cannot be lost, the Christian can become a casualty of war and traitor to God's cause. Our Enemy the Devil      Many think of Satan as the counterpart of God; but this is wrong. God is the Creator, whereas Satan is merely a creature. God is infinitely and eternally good, whereas Satan was created good, but then turned away in rebellion, leading others to follow, both angels and people. Satan is not the counterpart of God; rather, he is the counterpart of those angels who maintained their allegiance to God. To understand this is to contrast Satan with good angels where, as a creature, he properly belongs.      The Bible reveals Satan was originally created a holy angel of the class of cherubim; however, because of pride (Ezek 28:11-18), he rebelled against God (Isa 14:12-14), and convinced many angels to follow him (Rev 12:4, 7). The name Satan is derived from the Hebrew שָׂטָן Satan which means “adversary, opponent, accuser, opposing party…[or] the one who hinders a purpose”[1] The Greek Σατανᾶς Satanas carries the same meaning and is used “in a very special sense of the enemy of God and all of those who belong to God.”[2] Other names for Satan include the shining one, or Lucifer (Isa 14:12), the evil one (1 John 5:19), the tempter (1 Th 3:5), the devil (Matt 4:1), the god of this world (2 Cor 4:4), the accuser of the brethren (Rev 12:10), the prince of the power of the air (Eph 2:2), the serpent (Rev 12:9), and the great red dragon (Rev 12:3). Further, Satan is a murderer and liar (John 8:44), is compared to a lion that prowls about, looking for someone to devour (1 Pet 5:8), and one who disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Cor 11:14).      Lucifer became Satan at the time of his rebellion when he declared, “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”  (Isa 14:13-14). Pentecost states, “The desire of Satan was to move in and occupy the throne of God, exercise absolute independent authority over the angelic creation, bring the earth and all the universe under his authority, cover himself with the glory that belongs to God alone, and then be responsible to no one but himself.”[3] Satan seeks to operate independently of God's plan for him, and he leads others, both saved and unsaved, to do the same. Lucifer introduced sin and death to the first humans when he convinced them to turn from God and eat the forbidden fruit (Gen 2:16-17; 3:1-7). At the time of the fall, Adam handed his kingdom over to Satan, who has been ruling this world since (Luke 4:5-6).      Satan is permitted, for a time, to rule over the majority in this world. When Jesus began His public ministry, He faced a series of tests from Satan, one of which was an offer to receive the kingdoms of the world without going to the cross. Satan told Jesus, “I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish” (Luke 4:6). Satan took possession of “this domain and its glory” by God's permission and man's sin, presumably, when Adam and Eve chose to disobey God and follow Satan (Gen 3:1-8). Satan said to Jesus, “Therefore if You worship before me, it shall all be Yours” (Luke 4:7). Satan's offer had to be true in order for the temptation to be real. At some time in the future, Satan will share his authority with the Antichrist, because he advances his agenda (Rev 13:1-2). Three times Jesus referred to Satan as “the ruler of this world” (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11). Other passages of Scripture call Satan “the god of this world” (2 Cor 4:4), and “the prince of the power of the air” (Eph 2:2), informing us “that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one” (1 John 5:19). Satan rules as a tyrant who has “weakened the nations” (Isa 14:12), and currently “deceives the whole world” (Rev 12:9). He personally attacked Adam and Eve (Gen 3:1-7), Job (Job 1:6-12; 2:1-13), David, (1 Chr 21:1), Joshua the high priest (Zec 3:1-2), Jesus (Matt 4:1-11), Judas (John 13:27), and Peter (Luke 22:31-32). He continues to attack God's people today (1 Pet 5:8), practices deception (2 Cor 11:13-15), and has well developed strategies of warfare (Eph 6:10-12). Furthermore, humanity is living in an “evil age” (Gal 1:4), under “the dominion of Satan” (Acts 26:18), whose sphere of influence is called “the domain of darkness” (Col 1:13). Dr. Steven R.

The last decade has seen a resurgence of interest and urgency to questions of racial oppression and emancipation. We've now had about a decade of activists fighting for the idea that Black Lives Matter which eventually culminated in the summer of 2020 with millions taking to the streets. The actual concrete victories have been more of a mixed bag, which leads us to the question: what sort of politics are needed to achieve real emancipation? This led Kyle Edwards and August Nimtz back to the American Civil War, and more specifically to the writings of Karl Marx and Frederick Douglass. Both wrote quite prolifically on the events that were happening and were enthusiastic about its possibilities for the advancement of human freedom, but both brought some very different political values and ideas to their analysis. In studying these two figures together, Edwards and Nimtz are able to show how both a fight for Communism rooted in class struggle and a revolutionary liberalism rose to this profound historical moment. The result is The Communist and the Revolutionary Liberal in the Second American Revolution: Comparing Karl Marx and Frederick Douglass in Real-Time (Brill, 2024), a study with a concrete answer to the question of what sort of politics will be needed going forward. Published as part of the Historical Materialism book series by Brill and Haymarket. Kyle Edwards is a Curriculum Administrator at the University of Minnesota, and a member of AFSCME 3800. August Nimtz is a professor in the political science department at the University of Minnesota. He is the author of numerous books, including Marxism versus Liberalism: Comparative Real-Time Political Analysis and The Ballot, the Streets―or Both: From Marx and Engels to Lenin and the October Revolution.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the remarkable rise of Venice in the eastern Mediterranean. Unlike other Italian cities of the early medieval period, Venice had not been settled during the Roman Empire. Rather, it was a refuge for those fleeing unrest after the fall of Rome who settled on these boggy islands on a lagoon and developed into a power that ran an empire from mainland Italy, down the Adriatic coast, across the Peloponnese to Crete and Cyprus, past Constantinople and into the Black Sea. This was a city without walls, just one of the surprises for visitors who marvelled at the stability and influence of Venice right up to the 17th Century when the Ottomans, Spain, France and the Hapsburgs were to prove too much especially with trade shifting to the Atlantic.With Maartje van Gelder Professor in Early Modern History at the University of AmsterdamStephen Bowd Professor of Early Modern History at the University of EdinburghAndGeorg Christ Senior Lecturer in Medieval and Early Modern History at the University of ManchesterProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Michel Balard and Christian Buchet (eds.), The Sea in History: The Medieval World (Boydell & Brewer, 2017), especially ‘The Naval Power of Venice in the Eastern Mediterranean' by Ruthy GertwagenStephen D.
