Across three millennia, the goddess Astarte was recast as the demon Astaroth: a transformation that reveals more about humanity's fear of the sacred feminine than any real change in divinity. This episode traces that metamorphosis from ancient Mesopotamian goddess to grimoire demon and modern occult archetype. Drawing on sources from biblical polemics and Renaissance demonology, as well as feminist and queer reimaginings, this exploration examines how Astaroth embodies the persistence of forbidden knowledge, gender fluidity, and spiritual defiance. Was Astaroth truly a fallen angel or the suppressed face of divine wisdom, buried under centuries of theological sabotage? CONNECT & SUPPORT

Driving Productivity: Automation, Labor, and Industrial Development in the United States and Germany (Brill, 2025) reconstructs the industrial histories of the American and German automotive industries in a new light. From the Fordist assembly line to Japanese lean production and Industry 4.0, Anthony J. Knowles critically examines major technical developments within the historical dynamics of capitalism. Both countries face the pressure to automate, transform labor, and increase efficiency, yet their responses differ due to divergent paradigms of integrating business, labor, and government. Driving Productivity makes the case that improving productivity is a never-ending process that becomes a compulsory social imperative that industries must respond to but are nevertheless responded to differently between countries. Guest: Anthony Knowles (he/him) is a Teaching Assistant Professor in Sociology and a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Transportation Research at the University of Tennessee. Host: Jenna Pittman (she/her), a Ph.D. student in the Department of History at Duke University. She studies modern European history, political economy, and Germany from 1945-1990.

A Chinese Reformer in Exile: Kang Youwei and the Chinese Empire Reform Association in North America, 1899-1911 is an encyclopaedic reference work documenting the exile years of imperial China's most famous reformer, Kang Youwei, and the political organization he mobilized in North America and worldwide to transform China's autocratic empire into a constitutional monarchy.

Based on Robert Worden's 1972 Georgetown University Ph.D. dissertation, a multinational team of historians contribute new insights from 50 years of additional scholarship and previously unknown archival materials. Robert L. Worden, Ph.D. (1972) Georgetown University, retired in 2007 after 34 years at the Library of Congress where he authored more than 100 Asia-related studies for government agencies, and numerous China-related books, articles, and book reviews of personal interest.  Jane Leung Larson is an independent scholar whose broad-based research on the Chinese Empire Reform Association evolved from studying the papers of her grandfather Tom Leung, Kang Youwei's student in Guangzhou and host, travel companion, and confidant in North America.  Li-Ping Chen is a visiting scholar in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Southern California. Her research interests include literary translingualism, diaspora, and nativism in Sinophone, inter-Asian, and transpacific contexts.

The extensive research literature on race has paid little attention to Armenians. Between the two world wars, they had to prove that they were free white persons to ensure their naturalization in the United States, while in Nazi Germany they needed to document that they were stakeholders of the Aryan race to safeguard their existence. Vartan Matiossian's book is the first comprehensive account of a mostly untold story of dehumanization and racism in Europe and America that enhanced the racial and moral profiling of Armenians as undesirables. The Color of Choice: The Armenians and the Politics of Race in the United States and Germany (1890-1945) (Brill, 2025) frames this development within the context of the debates on whiteness and immigration in the United States culminating in the Immigration Act of 1924 and the xenophobic discourse in Germany before and during Nazism likening Armenians to Jews.

Within the Book of Job, Elihu is one of the most diversely evaluated characters. For example, are Elihu's speeches so insignificant he's absolutely ignored afterward, or do they actually form an introduction to the speeches of the LORD? What are we to make of Elihu? Find out as we speak with Cooper Smith about his recent monograph, Allusive and Elusive: Allusion and the Elihu Speeches of Job 32-37. Smith helpfully approaches the speeches of Elihu by discerning their allusions to previous sections in the Book of Job.

Songwriting as a secret public journal w/Spencer BrillSpencer Brill is an indie alternative singer songwriter based in Brooklyn, NY. He's a baker, he's a community builder, and a lover of all things music.I'm a singer songwriter born in NYC, but grew up in way upstate NY near Canada - had a band in high school, played shows in upstate NY in the Adirondacks. Moved back to NYC as an adult in 2012. Lived in Brooklyn, had a love/hate relationship with NYC and was struggling. I decided to start a baking business (a coconut macaroon company) in Brooklyn, launched into holiday markets and ecommerce and sold 50,000+ macaroons in 7 weeks. The woman who would be my wife came through as a customer at the holiday market, took my card, looked me up and we've been married for 7 years. Before that I was in a relationship with someone who wasn't supportive of music making, so I took a pause for a few years. 2020 - I was hospitalized for a week with Covid. Changed my perspective on life, and how short it can be. Watched some horrible things occur in the hospital room with me. I survived, dove into music production and learning to take songwriting/production seriously. I released songs, built a killer band in NYC, and have played all over the city. 2 years later, doctors found a benign golf-ball sized tumor in my lower spine. Got half of it removed, and after facing death again, I put even more energy into the things I love and the passion I have for other people, making art that moves people, and building community. I was at a songwriting retreat recently in Dublin Ireland that gave me incredible clarity on what I wanted to pursue. I love talking music, songwriting, baking, NYC, and can wax poetic about most topics. I offer a perspective of a survivor of a few close calls and the joy of art making and the self-reflection that those two encompass.Link:https://spencerbrill.com/https://www.instagram.com/spencerbrillmusicTags:Artist,Live Music,Music,Musician,Songwriting as a secret public journal w/Spencer Brill,Live Video Podcast Interview,Podcast,Phantom Electric Ghost Podcast,PodmatchSupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rssSubstackhttps://substack.com/@phantomelectricghost?utm_source=edit-profile-page

How do new ideas and beliefs take root when they cross cultural and linguistic borders? In seventeenth-century Taiwan, both Dutch and Spanish missionaries tried to replace Indigenous gods, practices, and laws with their own Christian traditions. Christopher Joby's Christian Mission in Seventeenth-Century Taiwan: A Reception History of Texts, Beliefs, and Practices (Brill, 2025) explores this moment in history through a new lens: reception. Rather than focusing only on what missionaries brought, he looks at how Indigenous communities responded. Central to the story are experiments in translation and text-making, including ministers creating prayers and catechisms in local languages, and the invention of new scripts.  The legacy of these efforts stretched far beyond the seventeenth century, too. Some texts continued to shape religious practice in Taiwan after the Dutch were expelled in 1662, while others circulated in Europe, informing how outsiders imagined the island. By tracing these journeys, Joby shows how Taiwan's early missions were not just local episodes but part of a much larger global history of translation, improvisation, and exchange. This book will be of particular interest to scholars of early modern Taiwan, the history of Christian missions, and the global circulation of texts and ideas. And if you are interested in learning more about his work, you can listen to Joby's earlier appearance on the New Books Network to talk about an earlier book, The Dutch Language in Japan (1600-1900), here.  Learn more about your ad choices.

At the end of August, archaeologists announced extraordinary new finds from the sunken city of Canopus, located off the coast of Alexandria, Egypt. For the first time in 25 years, artifacts were raised from the seabed, including a sphinx inscribed with Ramses II's name, statues from the Ptolemaic and Roman eras, and shipwreck remains.In this episode, we'll explore both these latest underwater discoveries and geological surveys that are helping researchers understand what caused Canopus to sink, because understanding how people of the past adapted to disasters could help us find solutions for today's climate-threatened coastal cities.Listen now to learn about the artifacts, myths, and history of Canopus.TranscriptsFor transcripts of this episode head over to: https://archpodnet.com/tpm/22Links and ReferencesSee photos related to episode topics on InstagramLoving the macabre lore?

New Testament letters are compared with private, business, and administrative letters of Greco-Roman antiquity and analyzed against this background. More than 11,800 Greek and Latin letters – preserved on papyrus, potsherds, and tablets from Egypt, Israel, Asia Minor, North Africa, Britain, and Switzerland – have been edited so far. Among them are not only short notes by writers with poor writing skills, but also extensive letters and correspondences from highly educated authors. They testify to the literary skills of Paul of Tarsus, who knew how to make excellent use of epistolary formulas and even introduced new variations. They also show that some New Testament letters clearly fall outside the framework of standard epistolography, raising new questions about their authors and their genre. The introductions and discussions offered in this volume reflect the current state of the art and present new research results. Letters and Letter Writing (Brill U Schoningh, 2023) also presents over 130 papyrus and ostracon letters newly translated in their entirety. Peter Arzt-Grabner is Associate Professor and head of the Papyrological Research Unit at the Department of Biblical Studies and Ecclesiastical History at the University of Salzburg. He is the author of Philemon (Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2003) and 2. Korintherbrief (Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2013) as well as the co-author of More Light from the Ancient Near East: Understanding the New Testament through Papyri (Brill, 2023; with John S. Kloppenborg and Christina M. Kreinecker). He is also a series editor for Papyri and the New Testament (Brill) and Papyrologische Kommentare zum Neuen Testament (Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht). Jonathon Lookadoo is Associate Professor at the Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary in Seoul, South Korea. While his interests range widely over the world of early Christianity, he is the author of books on the Epistle of Barnabas, Ignatius of Antioch, and the Shepherd of Hermas, including The Christology of Ignatius of Antioch (Cascade, 2023).

La tension monte entre Washington et Caracas. La semaine dernière, les États-Unis ont envoyé dans les Caraïbes trois destroyers lance-missiles et 4 000 marines et, en réponse, Nicolas Maduro a annoncé, mardi, poster plus de 15 000 hommes, mais aussi des navires et des drones au large des côtes vénézuéliennes et colombiennes.  Le ministre vénézuélien de la Défense, Vladimir Padrino López, a précisé les contours de cette opération en tenue militaire. Dans une vidéo sur Instagram, devant une carte géante du Venezuela, il pointe les zones où seront déployés des moyens conséquents. « Il y aura un déploiement important de couloirs aériens, d'hélicoptères, de moyens d'écoute, de surveillance, de renseignement, d'exploration. (...) Nous allons également déployer un nombre important de drones pour différentes missions, des points d'attention citoyenne, des points d'exploration et de surveillance, des points ou des parcours fluviaux avec l'infanterie marine, sur tous les fleuves, en particulier le Catatumbo qui se jette dans le golfe du Venezuela. Nous sommes convaincus que cela donnera d'excellents résultats », a-t-il déclaré.   Dans un éditorial, Tal Cual, un des rares médias de l'opposition, critique la « rhétorique anti-impérialiste ronflante et trompeuse » du régime et parle de « farce patriotique » de Maduro, « en réponse à l'opérette militaire caribéenne du duo Trump-Rubio ». Selon le media en ligne, l'autodétermination vantée par Maduro est « un alibi politique pour perpétuer des projets autocratiques »... Et pendant ce temps, les « Vénézuéliens restent prisonniers d'un labyrinthe sans issue, sans boussole et sans horizon pour surmonter la crise ». Interview de Thomas Posado, maître de conférences en civilisation latino-américaine à l'université de Rouen Normandie. Il a publié Venezuela : de la Révolution à l'effondrement (Presses universitaires du Midi).

L'agence en ligne a interviewé le Père Brillère Aupont, auteur d'un rapport sur le recul de la présence catholique. Il y déplore que de nombreuses paroisses soient totalement ou partiellement abandonnées. Le média liste celles de Port-au-Prince, quartier par quartier, et explique que certaines ont dû réduire ou interrompre leurs activités quand d'autres sont passées sous contrôle des gangs. L'homme d'Église résume : « Le désordre est devenu incontrôlable. Quarante ans d'instabilité sont à la base de ce chaos. Les enfants d'aujourd'hui sont les enfants du chaos. »  Aux États-Unis, 20 ans après l'ouragan Katrina 180 fonctionnaires de l'Agence fédérale de gestion des situations d'urgence, la FEMA, dénoncent dans une lettre les dysfonctionnements de cet organisme gouvernemental chargé des grandes catastrophes naturelles. Ce qui a valu à une partie d'entre eux d'être sanctionnés.  Oui, ce mardi, 12 des 180 signataires ont été mis à pied, au lendemain de l'envoi de cette lettre aux membres du Congrès et à d'autres responsables. Ils y dénoncent l'inexpérience des dirigeants actuels qui « nuit à la mission de la FEMA et pourrait entraîner une catastrophe du niveau de l'ouragan Katrina », relate le Washington Post, pour qui cette « résistance ouverte (...) est le dernier exemple en date de fonctionnaires fédéraux dénonçant les actions et les politiques de l'administration Trump, mettant souvent leur emploi en péril ». La plupart des signataires sont restés anonymes, mais ceux qui ont été temporairement évincés ont signé avec leurs vrais noms... Sur la chaîne CNN, Virginia témoigne. Elle dit être « déçue, mais pas surprise », et « fière de ceux qui ont réagi ». Pour elle, « le public mérite de savoir ce qui se passe, car des vies et des communautés en pâtiront si cela continue ». Début juillet, lors des inondations monstrueuses qui ont ravagé le centre du Texas et fait 135 morts, la FEMA avait tardé à intervenir à cause d'une baisse des budgets et des moyens qui lui sont alloués.  Du glamour et des paillettes Les réseaux sociaux ne parlent que de ça depuis ce mardi soir : les fiançailles de Taylor Swift et Travis Kelce, et la presse généraliste n'y est pas non plus indifférente…  Même le très sérieux Washington Post analyse les moindres détails des fiançailles des deux célébrités. Deux journalistes du quotidien commentent les cinq photos du couple publiées sur Instagram, la bague en diamant, la robe de Taylor Swift et le décor composé de fleurs roses… Selon elles, « peu de fiançailles de célébrités dans l'histoire moderne, hormis celles des membres de la famille royale (...) peuvent interrompre l'actualité comme celle-ci ». USA Today va jusqu'à y consacrer une édition spéciale de huit pages. Elle retrace l'histoire d'amour entre la chanteuse et le joueur de football américain et relaie les félicitations qui ont plu du monde entier de la part de leurs proches, des fans… et de Donald Trump ! Le président américain leur a souhaité « bonne chance », lui qui dénigrait violemment la chanteuse il y a encore quelques mois.  Journal la 1re  En Guadeloupe, une association appelle à observer ce jeudi une minute de silence pour dire « non » aux violences faites aux femmes. En Martinique, 18 parcelles expérimentales de café arabica sont pilotées par le Parc naturel régional, à Saint-Pierre.

Today, I'm thrilled to announce my interview with Tony winner Will Brill, who will be starring in MEET THE CARTOZIANS off-Broadway this fall. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including the unique process of creating STEREOPHONIC, moving the show from Playwrights Horizons to Broadway, being part of the Tonys campaign, why the response to OKLAHOMA surprised him, the cosmic alignment of A CASE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD, dealing with different audience interactions during OUR TOWN, finding success on TV with FELLOW TRAVELERS, James Lapine's fearlessness in shaping ACT ONE, how Tony Shalhoub scripted gibberish, the meta experience of starring in ILLYRIA at the Public Theater, his method of memorizing lines, playing Shakespeare on screen, co-starring with David Cromer in UNCLE VANYA, a guiding quote from Uta Hagen, the mythology around alcoholism in theater, what he learned from James Earl Jones during YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU, and so much more. Don't miss this in-depth conversation with one of Broadway's brightest stars.

The Human Dimension of International Law (Brill, 2025) offers a vision of international law through the protection of human rights and the values they embody. This approach is particularly timely in light of recent international developments. For the first time, the International Court of Justice is seized of the main legal aspects of serious contemporary crises (Ukraine, Gaza Strip, Syria, Myanmar, etc.), on the basis of human rights instruments, with the participation of dozens of States. In this context, the book analyzes the multiple interactions between general international law and human rights. The former influences the latter, positively or restrictively, as illustrated by the issue of jurisdictional immunities. Conversely, human rights exert an influence on the evolution of general international law, sometimes gently, sometimes drastically. They contributed to the development of the sources of international law, several institutions related to the external relations of the State, the law of the sea, the theory of the subjects of international law, the concept of international responsibility, the system of collective security, as well as the structure and character of the discipline.
