Podcasts about burthen

Egal wohin man schaut – auf die Bestsellerlisten, auf die neusten Verlagsvorschauen, in Belletristik- oder Sachbuchregale oder zum Nobelpreis für Annie Ernaux im vergangenen Jahr –, ein Thema scheint einem seit geraumer Zeit überall zu begegnen: Die Auseinandersetzung mit Klasse. Sei es eine Beschäftigung mit der eigenen Herkunft in literarischer Form oder ein Sachbuch, das sich mit struktureller Ungleichheit befasst – Fragen zu Klasse und Klassismus are here to stay. Daniela Dröscher hat mit "Lügen über meine Mutter" einen sehr erfolgreichen autofiktionalen Roman zu diesem Thema geschrieben und spricht bei Hanser Rauschen mit den Lektor:innen Florian Kessler und Emily Modick über die sogenannte „doppelte Scham“, die mit ihrem Aufstieg ins Bildungsbürgertum einherging, über verschlossene Räume der Literaturbranche und wie und ob überhaupt man sie mit Literatur öffnen kann, und welche Form ein Text eigentlich haben sollte, um adäquat über Klasse berichten zu können. Und zuletzt stellt sich die große Frage: Wohin entwickelt sich die sogenannte „Klassenliteratur“? Oder handelt es sich nur um ein vorübergehendes Phänomen, von dem der Betrieb mal wieder doch nicht so viel gelernt hat, wie er gerne denkt, um sich bald schon wieder zynisch dem nächsten „Issue“ zuzuwenden?

A Modest Proposal - Jonathan Swift - Book 3 Title: A Modest Proposal Overview: A Modest Proposal For preventing the Children of Poor People From being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and For making them Beneficial to the Publick, commonly referred to as A Modest Proposal, is a Juvenalian satirical essay written and published anonymously by Jonathan Swift in 1729. The essay suggests that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food to rich gentlemen and ladies. This satirical hyperbole mocked heartless attitudes towards the poor, predominantly Irish Catholic (i.e., "Papists") as well as British policy toward the Irish in general. In English writing, the phrase "a modest proposal" is now conventionally an allusion to this style of straight-faced satire.

This is the launch of a new challenge! We’ve enjoyed so much our recent lengthier explorations of unexpected subjects in which one topic runs over two podcasts, such is the depth of our research! Nonetheless it raises the important question of whether or not we could do a micro history - take an historic subject and try to demonstrate how it has a history in just 15-20 minutes!! And without just talking at supersonic speed. In this first foray into historical brevity the histories of the unexpected duo of James Daybell and Sam Willis tackle the spine-tingling subject of CANNIBALISM, which is inspired by their book on the Tudors. Taking that as their starting place, the boys tackle topics including Shakespearean Theatre (with images cannibalism in Much Ado About Nothing, Coriolanus, The Tempest, and the Merchant of Venice), Michel de Montaigne's essay 'Of the Caniballes', travel to the New World, as well as Tudor medicine and eating 'mummy flesh'. We then look at a voyage made in 1884 by four men, who set sail from Southampton in a small yacht, the Mignonette, which they sailed to its new owner in Australia, and encountered real tragedy on the journey The episode ends with discussion of Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal for Preventing the Children of Poor People for Being a Burthen to their Parents or Country (1729), a satirical text that proposes the eating of babies as the solution to the economic problems in Ireland.
