Inferiority Complexes in Soviet Development (Alessandro Iandolo)

To what extent were Soviet engagements with the Third World characterized by solidarity during the Cold War? And to what extent did these same engagements conceal imperial ambitions? In this episode of the Transformative Podcast, Alessandro Iandolo (UCL) talks to Rosamund Johnston (RECET) about how concrete development projects could be viewed quite differently by the different actors involved. He also talks about how his own perspective on these projects has changed, as he approaches them in his new research from different angles. If all of those involved came to be almost in agreement on one point, he argues, it was that the world-building exercises they were involved in were somehow second best when compared to the material and intellectual resources of an imagined West. Alessandro Iandolo is a lecturer at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London, specializing in the history of the Soviet Union in the world. His first book, Arrested Development: The Soviet Union in Ghana, Guinea, and Mali, 1955-1968, explored the Soviet Union's economic partnership with three newly-independent countries in West Africa during the Khrushchev era, winning the W. Bruce Lincoln prize for the best first monograph in Russian History, and the Marshall D. Shulman prize for the best monograph on the internationalrelations of the USSR from the Association for Slavic, East European and Eurasian Studies.

Seg 1: Who killed Iaon Culianu? Ioan Culianu, a distinguished historian of religion and culture, and Mircea Eliade, a revered figure in religious studies renowned for his contributions to understanding religion and myth across cultures, shared an intertwined connection marked by mentorship and controversy. Guest: Dr. Bruce Lincoln, Author of “Secrets, Lies, and Consequences,” and Professor Emeritus of Religious History at the University of Chicago's Divinity School Seg 2: View From Victoria: Usually governments grow bigger not smaller, but Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim wants to reduce his government by removing the elected park board. We get a local look at the top political stories with the help of Vancouver Sun columnist Vaughn Palmer. Seg 3: Inside the mind of the former Alaska Airlines pilot who tried to crash a flight Joseph Emerson, the off-duty Alaska Airline pilot who tried to cut the engines of a flight in October, has been charged with 83 counts of reckless endangerment and one count of endangering an aircraft. But, he was deterred from seeking counseling for his depression, trauma, and self-medicating tendencies in fear he would be grounded from flying. Guest: Mike Baker, Seattle Bureau Chief for The New York Times Seg 4: Should we care about Taylor Swift being TIME's Person of the Year? TIME Magazine has honoured Taylor Swift as its 2023 Person of the Year, recognizing her widespread influence and cultural significance. Guest: Dr. Norma Coates, Associate Professor at the Don Wright Faculty of Music and the Faculty of Information and Media Studies at Western University Seg 5: Why does a former Park Board member support its dissolution? The mayor of Vancouver has initiated a council motion to request changes to the Vancouver Charter, seeking the elimination of the requirement for an elected park board. Guest: Sarah Kirby-Yung, ABC Vancouver City Councillor Seg 6: How BC's long-term care system is failing families Our guest's mother was showing signs of dementia for years. Despite evident signs of the condition, obtaining an official diagnosis seemed like an insurmountable task. The hospitals said they couldn't provide a diagnosis, so they redirected Dan to make an appointment with his family doctor instead. Guest: Dan Cripps, Vancouverite Caring for his Mother with Dementia Seg 7: Why is Mayor Ken Sim dismantling Vancouver's Park Board? Since its establishment in 1888, the Vancouver Park Board has remained a subject of ongoing discussion and discord within the city. Its contributions include shaping iconic landmarks such as VanDusen Botanical Garden and English Bay. Over time, the board's influence has extended to various parks and recreational activities, contributing significantly to the city's infrastructure and leisure spaces.

On this episode of Impolite Conversation, we invited Andrew Whitehead, co-author of Taking America Back for God, back on the show to explain to us how Christian nationalism complicates life in a pandemic. Then we chatted about the new FX documentary AKA Jane Roe. And in One Last Thing, Dan is glad he gave a show another chance, and Tim has branched out into a new form of comfort viewing. Some of the things we talked about on this show: Dan mentioned Bruce Lincoln's book Holy Terrors. Andrew talked about this sign from an anti-closure rally. He also mentioned two books, Thy Kingdom Come by Randall Balmer and The Power Worshippers by Katherine Stewart. Here is the story of Nino Vitale, who refuses to wear a mask because he believes his face is made in the image of God. And here is some polling information regarding evangelicals, and regarding COVID. Finally, here is some background about Operation Rescue. Dan's OLT was season 2 of Titans. Tim's OLT was Gourmet Makes from Bon Appetit.

Dr. Tyler Roberts presents the 2017 Dudleian Lecture. Dr. Tyler Roberts, Professor of Religious Studies at Grinnell College, presents the 2017 Dudleian Lecture. Marx’s claim that premise of all criticism is the criticism of religion continues to shape critical projects today. It enables scholars of religion such as Bruce Lincoln to distinguish the study of religion from theology and other religious discourses and literary critics such as Stathis Gourgouris to distinguish the secular from the religious. But we are left, consequently, with impoverished notions of critique and of religion. Starting instead from Foucault, who dreamt of a criticism that “would multiply not judgments but signs of life,” and with special attention to Ted Smith’s political theology, “Signs of Life” considers how we might rethink the critical project with and not against at least certain forms of “religion.” Learn more about Harvard Divinity School and its mission to illuminate, engage, and serve at http://hds.harvard.edu/.

There are lots of introductory books to the study of religion. Craig Martin, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at St. Thomas Aquinas College, has added his own contribution to this ever-growing canon, A Critical Introduction to the Study of Religion (Acumen Publishing, 2012). But why? What does this new intro offer? Well, if you are interested in learning how to penetrate the deep true meaning of the sacred or how we can understand the nature of religious belief or experience then keep looking. Martin offers an alternative to most introductions by presenting a socio-functional approach to cultural traditions and generally attempts to demystify religion as a natural category. In A Critical Introduction, Martin offers an explanation of various elements of society by exploring notions of classification, structure, and habitus. He also walks readers through the social components of religious traditions, touching upon the concepts of legitimation, authority, and authenticity. Martin is very much influenced by authors such as Karl Marx, Peter Berger, Pierre Bourdieu, and Bruce Lincoln, among many others. Overall, this new introduction presents a critical approach to religious phenomena, which provides methods to determine the historical contexts, material consequences, and beneficiaries of particular cultural practices. In our conversation we discussed functionalism, social boundaries, classification, social constructionism, the relationship between words and things, animism, stereotypes, essentialism, the naturalization of the social order, class difference, the supernaturalization of claims, cultural toolboxes, absent authority, projection, and the difference between religions and other cultural practices.
