“Once the flight had flown…” Taylor Swift is a master storyteller, but how does she tell those stories? In this week's Show & Tell episode, we're talking all about Narratology. We break down the structure behind the storytelling, unpacking flashbacks, fast forwards, stream of consciousness, and first-person limited narration through three brilliant Swift tracks. From fairy tale distortion in “Is It Over Now?”, a murder mystery arc in “No Body, No Crime,” to the heart-tugging Bildungsroman of “You're On Your Own, Kid,” this episode explores the how behind the heartbreaks, twists, and self-discoveries. Whether you're into literary theory, folklore, or just love a well-crafted bridge, you'll leave this episode with a deeper appreciation for Taylor's evolving narrative toolkit—and maybe a few English class flashbacks of your own.

Virginia Woolfs endagsroman Mrs Dalloway är en verklig klassiker. Men vad är det som gör den så bra? Karin Nykvist funderar över sin favorit. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Vad är det med Mrs Dalloway? Hur kommer det sig att jag bara måste återvända till henne gång på gång, år efter år, att jag tvingar alla mina studenter att läsa om henne och aldrig kan hålla litteraturvetarens förväntade distans utan bara måste förklara för alla som vill eller inte kan undgå att lyssna att hon finns i min absoluta favoritroman?Boken om henne handlar ju inte alls om något häpnadsväckande: en dam promenerar runt i London och ordnar en fest, samtidigt som en krigsveteran, skadad av första världskrigets skyttegravshelvete långsamt rör sig mot sitt självmord i samma stad. Och Mrs Dalloway är inte alls som jag – hoppas jag! Hon är snobbig, konservativ, dömande, arrogant – och inte helt lätt att tycka om. Trots att andra möjligheter fanns har hon valt det säkra livet och gift sig med en lagom ointressant man som gett henne en trygg position i samhällets societet. Själv broderar hon, handlar blommor, arrangerar fester och är – som hennes gamla kärlek Peter syrligt säger – en perfekt värdinna. Ytlig och lätt att glömma, med andra ord.Så varför gör jag inte det?Ja, grejen med Clarissa Dalloway är väl just att hon påminner mig om att den sorts människor som jag just beskrev faktiskt inte existerar: de ytliga, ointressanta, de som inte lämnar några spår. Vi bara tror att de finns. Virginia Woolfs mästerskap ligger i hur hon skriver fram den mänskliga erfarenheten, i all dess komplexitet. I Clarissa Dalloway får jag tillgång till en hel människa – på ett sätt som jag faktiskt inte kan få i verkliga livet. För porträttet av Clarissa tecknas inte bara genom hennes eget medvetande utan genom alla dem hon möter, de som känner henne väl och ser henne genom alla hennes tidigare, yngre versioner, och de som flyktigt korsar hennes väg på gatan.Virginia Woolf struntade blankt i sin samtids förväntningar på hur en roman skulle skrivas. I stället gjorde hon som Clarissa själv: kastade sig ut i den vackra Londonmorgonen och lät läsaren följa med i livet som ständigt pågår – överallt. Så byter romanen perspektiv utan förvarningar, från den promenerande Mrs Dalloway till hennes gamla pojkvän Peter Walsh – som just kommit tillbaka till London från att ganska mediokert ha tjänat det brittiska imperiet i Indien – till ungdomskärleken Sally Seton som blivit Lady och fembarnsmor, till butiksinnehavare, gatuförsäljare och nyfikna flanörer. Och så ger den perspektivet till den svårt sjuke Septimus Smith och hans förtvivlade fru Lucrezia, för att låta det gå tillbaka till Clarissa – och vidare igen. Hon tänker på dem alla och på sig själv – medan de i sin tur betraktar henne – och tänker på sig själva.Allt är relativt: tid, plats, minne, identitet – och människans sinnen och psykologi gör en objektiv upplevelse av världen omöjlig. ”Hon ville inte längre säga om någon människa i världen att hon eller han var det eller det [.…] ville inte säga om sig själv: jagär det eller det” tänker Clarissa. För dum är hon inte, hon vet: allt är i flux. Det enda vi verkligen har är ögonblicket, vårt här och nu. Berättelserna, före och efter-tankarna, den skenbara logiken skapar vi själva. Men det är ögonblicken vi minns, synintrycken, dofterna, ljuden, mötet med den andre.Ögonblick. Ordet återkommer genom romanen – i Eva Åsefeldts översättning hela femtiofyra gånger. För Woolf är det nämligen inte ett ord bland andra, inte en neutral beskrivning av en flyktig stund, utan centralt för hela hennes förståelse av livet. Hon kallar dem ”moments of being” – de ögonblick när livet plötsligt fylls av akut härvaro. De kommer sällan och oväntat. För Clarissa sker det till exempel när hon mitt på förmiddagen lägger av sig sin brosch i sitt sovrum. Woolf skriver att Clarissa: ”kastade sig […] ut i ögonblickets själva kärna, naglade fast det, där – ögonblicket denna förmiddag i juni som vilade under trycket av alla de andra förmiddagarna. Hon såg spegeln, toalettbordet och flaskorna som för första gången, samlade hela sitt jag till en enda punkt (med blicken mot spegeln), såg det späda rosa ansiktet hos den kvinna som samma kväll skulle hålla sin fest; Clarissa Dalloway, hon själv.”Ögonblick som dessa kan, som Runeberg skrev, ”bli hos oss evigt”. Som en annan morgon, mer än trettio år tidigare, när Sally plötsligt kysste henne på en terrass: ”det mest fulländade ögonblicket i hennes liv”.Clarissa återkommer ständigt till denna stund och till den hon var då. Då när alla dörrar till livet fortfarande stod öppna. Då, när hon gjorde slut med Peter Walsh – och kysste Sally. Sedan dess har livets dörrar stängts, en efter en. Har hon valt rätt? Var det rätt att tacka nej till allt det osäkra och otippade - och i stället bli fru Dalloway?Virginia Woolf hade hunnit bli fyrtio när hon skapade sin Clarissa. Hon bodde då tillfälligt i Richmond, där hon och hennes man Leonard hade startat Hogarth Press, mycket för att Virginia skulle ha något att göra – hon led sedan barndomen av bräcklig mental hälsa.Många läsare har funderat på hur mycket av författaren som finns i Mrs Dalloway. Det är lite roligt, för Woolf var knappast någon borgerlig societetsdam som gav fester för konservativa premiärministrar och andra noggrant utvalda medlemmar av societeten. Hon var ju bohem, ganska så fattig, gift med en socialist och uppslukad av konst och litteratur. Mrs Dalloway broderar – Virginia Woolf läste James Joyce. Mrs Dalloway planerar menyer – Virginia Woolf satte texten till T.S. Eliots ”Det öde landet” – som gavs ut som bok på paret Woolfs lilla förlag 1923, samtidigt som Virginia skrev på sin roman.Men jag förstår tanken - för visst finns likheterna där. Clarissa ser och noterar det mesta som har med samtidens sociala spel att göra. Men till skillnad från sin skapare Virginia väljer hon bara att spela med. Kanske är Clarissa Dalloway allt det som Woolf själv hade kunnat bli, om hon inte gjort uppror mot det viktorianska samhälle hennes samtid och stränga far uppfostrade henne till.Och det är väl just i det att vara människa i världen, bland andra människor, som jag och Clarissa – och för den delen Virginia Woolf – möts och är lika varandra. Upptagna med vardagens små planer, fasta i oss själva och våra sinnens och tankars begränsningar medan livet pågår och pågår – och plötsligt slår oss med sin storslagenhet, skönhet och korthet – i varats utsträckta ögonblick.Och alla har vi väl våra egna varianter av Sally Seton-kyssar där någonstans längst inne: minnen som vi vårdar och som kommer att försvinna med oss.En av litteraturens främsta egenskaper är att den får oss att känna igen människor vi aldrig mött. Jag känner igen Clarissa Dalloway – trots att hon är hundra år äldre än jag och bara ett stycke text, en uppfinning. För någonstans är det ju ändå så, att Clarissa Dalloway, ja, det är ju jag.Och du.Karin Nykvistlitteraturvetare och kritikerLitteraturVirginia Woolf: Mrs Dalloway. Översättning: Eva Åsefeldt.

BRITTISK TV I KRIS – SKYLLER PÅ STREAMINGJÄTTARNANär Nordiska ministerrådet för kultur hölls i Helsingfors förra veckan gjorde den danska kulturministern ett utspel om att skapa en specifikt nordisk streamingtjänst, för att inhemska produktioner inte ska sväljas av de globala jättarna. Liknande tankar finns i Storbritannien, där flera röster nu höjs för att göra som flera andra europeiska länder och låta de amerikanska strömningstjänsterna betala en särskild avgift – som ska gå direkt till brittisk tv-produktion. Sveriges Radios korrespondent Pontus Mattson rapporterar från London. KRITIKSAMTAL: MIKE KELLEY INTAR MODERNA MUSEETMed sin punkestetik och nyfikenhet på den amerikanska kulturens skuggsidor blev Mike Kelley en av det sena 1900-talets mest inflytelserika konstnärer. Nu har den turnerande retrospektiven "Ghost and Spirit" kommit till Stockholm och Moderna museet. Konstkritikerna Mårten Arndtzén och Sonia Hedstrand gästar studion för att diskutera utställningen.ESSÄ: DEN SNOBBIGA MRS DALLOWAYI dag är det 100 år sedan en verklig klassiker såg dagens ljus: Mrs Dalloway av Virginia Woolf. Den utspelar sig under en enda junidag och bidrog till att förändra hela romankonsten. Men vad är det bortom dess betydelse som är så angeläget med boken? Över det, funderar litteraturvetaren och kritikern Karin Nykvist. Programledare: Gunnar BolinProducent: Henrik Arvidsson

Kan kulturen göra skillnad i kampen mot klimatförändringar? P1 Kultur tittar närmare på två aktuella verk: filmen Ocean med veteranen David Attenborough och boken Det här är ljuset av Dimitris Alevras. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. DAVID ATTENBOROUGH FIRAR 99-ÅRSDAGEN MED ”OCEAN””Rädda världen, rädda havet!” Så lyder underrubriken på den nya filmen ”Ocean with David Attenborough” som hade global biopremiär på Attenboroughs 99-årsdag i torsdags. Vetenskapsradions Lena Nordlund gästar P1 Kultur för att diskuterar den nya filmen, Attenboroughs gärning och hans klimatengagemang, som vaknade sent i livet.LUND ÄR I STORMENS ÖGA I ”DET HÄR ÄR LJUSET”Klimatförändringar och de utmaningar som väntar oss i framtiden, existentiella och samhälleliga, är teman som allt oftare skildras i konsten. I författaren Dimitris Alevras fjärde och senaste roman "Det här är ljuset" är en fruktansvärd storm på väg att ödelägga Lund. Huvudpersonen Sofia återvänder till sin gamla hemstad för att försöka samla ihop spillrorna av sin olycksdrabbade familj. P1 Kulturs reporter Anna Tullberg har träffat Dimitris Alevras för att prata om "Det här är ljuset" – och om författaren som en framtidens meteorolog.VIRGINIA WOOLFS ”MRS DALLOWAY” FIRAR 100 ÅR – MED NYUTGÅVADen 14 maj 1925 publicerades ”Mrs Dalloway” av Virginia Woolf. Romanen anses som ett portalverk inom modernismen och den första meninge – ”Mrs Dalloway sade att hon skulle köpa blommorna själv” – ekar även genom den Oscarsbelönade filmen ”Timmarna” med Nicole Kidman och Meryl Streep. Men vad är det som gör att romanen fortfarande lever, så här 100 år senare? Kulturredaktionens litteraturredaktör Lina Kalmteg gästar studion med ett tummat exemplar...KLASSIKERN: ”STJÄRNANS ÖGONBLICK” – EN BESTSELLER UTAN BÖRJAR ELLER SLUTDen brasilianska författaren Clarice Lispector fortsätter att verka långt efter sin död 1977. "Stjärnans ögonblick" är den sista roman som kom ut medan hon fortfarande levde, en metaberättelse om att skriva, om att solidarisera sig med en av världens allra minsta, om att dö med sin gestalt. Kulturredaktionens Katarina Wikars vrider och vänder på "Stjärnans ögonblick" med författarna Anneli Jordahl och översättaren Örjan Sjögren som hon hittade i radions arkiv. Vi hör också citat ur radioteaterföreställningen "Stjärnans ögonblick" i regi av Magnus Berg. VECKOTIPSET: VIGDIS HJORTH ÄR TILLBAKA MED ”UPPREPNINGEN”Delvis självbiografiska böcker om övergrepp i barndomen har blivit något av den norska författaren Vigdis Hjorths signum. ”Arv och miljö” som kom 2018 blev hennes genombrott på svenska. Den nya boken, ”Upprepningen”, är hennes mest öppet autofiktiva bok hittills och handlar om det år författaren fyller sexton och träffar sin första pojkvän. Kulturredaktionens Nina Asarnoj konstaterar att ingen beskriver de psykologiska konsekvenserna av föräldrars gränslöshet bättre än Vigdis Hjorth.Programledare: Thella JohnsonProducent: Henrik Arvidsson

For Emilie: may you always sing. We return this week, for a special micro-episode, to Mrs Dalloway's London. Listen for a brief meditation on the fragmentation of life, interruption, and finding meaning in art. This episode was edited and produced by James Bowen.

Da Hans Petter Blad ble innlagt på Ullevål for en operasjon sommeren for ett år siden, valgte han å ta med seg en roman av Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) som lesestoff og eneste reisefølge. Det viste seg å være et klokt valg, for Til fyret (1927) var den perfekte lektyren for å vinne tilbake «troen på livet.»På tross av at teksten på mangae måter er en ekstremt voldelig tekst, og helt annerledes enn man forestiller seg ved synet av fotografier av Virgina Woolf og hennes krets, alle tandre og snobbete. Woolf er selve sinnbildet på både modernismen og feminismen i litteraturen. Hennes grensesprengende essay, Et eget rom (1929), er et av de viktigste og mest velskrevne litterære essay noen gang. Det kom to år etter Til fyret og fire år etter hennes kanskje mest kjente romen, Mrs. Dalloway (1925). Men hva betyr forfatterskapet hennes i dag? Hvordan har det seg at spesielt Til fyret oppleves som både livsnødvendig og urovekkende nær? Ved siden av å trekke veksler på sammenhengen mellom levde liv, romankunsten og tanker om det å skrive, står den umiddelbare opplevelsen av Woolfs bøker i sentrum for dette foredraget. Og, i det kollektive rommet biblioteket utgjør, vil naturligvis også Virginia Woolfs «krets», Bloomsbury-kretsen, ses på som interessant, som bilde på hvordan politikk, historie og geografi, og andre kunstformer som malerkunsten er så viktige for en romans mangetydige form.

‘Now it was time to move, and, as a woman gathers her things together, her cloak, her gloves, her opera-glasses, and gets up to out of the theatre into the street, she rose from the sofa and went to Peter…' This week, we join Sally reflecting on the arrangement of character. Listen for a journey, via Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway (1925) through perspectives, cityscapes, and the means by which we navigate everyday life.

For nearly as long as we've been waging war, we've sought ways to chronicle it. “Warfare,” a new movie co-directed by the filmmaker Alex Garland and the former Navy SEAL Ray Mendoza, takes an unorthodox approach, recreating a disastrous real-life mission in Iraq according to Mendoza's own memories and those of the soldiers who fought alongside him. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss how “Warfare” 's visceral account brings us closer to a certain kind of truth, while also creating a space into which viewers can project their own ideologies. The hosts consider how artists have historically portrayed conflict and its aftermath—referencing Virginia Woolf's depiction of a shell-shocked soldier in “Mrs. Dalloway” and Vietnam-era classics such as “Apocalypse Now” and “Full Metal Jacket”—and how “Warfare,” with its emphasis on firsthand experience, marks a departure from much of what came before. “That personal tinge to me seems to be characteristic of the age,” Cunningham says. “Part of the emotional appeal is, This happened, and I'm telling you. It's not diaristic—but it is testimonial.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Warfare” (2025)“Apocalypse Now” (1979)“Full Metal Jacket” (1987)“Beau Travail” (1999)“Saving Private Ryan” (1998)“The Hurt Locker” (2008)“Zero Dark Thirty” (2012)“Barry” (2018–23)“Mrs. Dalloway,” by Virginia Woolf“In Flanders Fields,” by John McCraeNew episodes drop every Thursday.

Nous sommes en 1904. Virginia Stephen, pas encore Virginia Woolf, alors âgée de 22 ans, fait ses premiers pas dans le journalisme professionnel. Elle publie trois articles les 7, 14 et 21 décembre dans le Churchwoman, « Femme d'Eglise », le supplément féminin du Guardian. Y figurent une critique du romancier américain W.D. Howells et un reportage intitulé « Pilgrimage to Haworth » (Pèlerinage à Haworth), dans lequel elle relate sa visite au presbytère des sœurs Brontë. Ces premiers pas sont un tournant dans la vie de l'autrice de « Mrs Dalloway », « La Promenade au phare », « Les Vagues », « Orlando » … Le journalisme lui apparaît alors comme une voie d'émancipation. Des centaines d'articles qui vont lui servir de tribune pour s'exprimer et constituer, en quelques sortes, une « Une chambre à soi », pour reprendre le titre de l'un de ses plus célèbres essais, devenu quasiment expression courante. Le journalisme devient aussi sa première profession, avant qu'elle ne se consacre à la fiction, sans jamais l'abandonner. A quoi ressemble l'émancipation de Virginia Woolf ? En quoi est-elle une journaliste singulière ? Quels sont ses sujets de prédilection ? Pourquoi peut-on parler d'héritage familial ? Traversons les apparences… Avec nous : Maria Santos-Sainz, professeure en sciences de l'information à l'Institut de journalisme Bordeaux Aquitaine (IJBA) de l'université Bordeaux Montaigne. « Virginia Woolf, journaliste » ; édit.

¿Qué sería de la industria del libro sin los libreros y libreras? ¿Sin esos emprendedores y emprendedoras que arriesgan sus cuartos para que podemos tener los mejores escaparates y asesoramientos bibliográficos?  El libro necesita de buenas librerías y hoy visitan la Biblioteca de Hoy por Hoy dos de las mejores, Letras Corsarias de Salamanca que ha sido elegida la mejor de 2024 en España. En su nombre nos hablará Antonio Marcos, uno de sus corsarios. Y de Madrid nos llega la librera Laura Riñón de "Amapolas en octubre". Ella era azafata y soñadora de altos vuelos. Entre sus sueños tener un día una librería y desde hace seis años la tiene y es de las mejores de la capital. Con ellos hemos hablado de libro, de muchos libros, y de lectores que son los que a ellos le dan la vida. Entre los libros que nos han donado están 'La sra Dalloway' de Virginia Woolf (Penguin clásicos) , 'El amor en tiempos del cólera' de Gabriel García Márquez (DeBolsillo), donaciones de Laura Riñón,  y Antonio Marcos nos ha dejado en nuestros anaqueles 'Necrosfera' de César Martín Ortiz (Baile del sol) y  'La hermandad de la uva' John Fante (Anagrama). Pero es que además nos han dejado los libros de sus escaparates. En "Amapolas en octubre"  tienen 'James" de Percival Everett (De Conatus), 'Las aguas' de  Bonnie Jo Campbell (Dirty Works) , 'Amada y perdida' de Susan Boyt (Muñeca infinita) , 'Diarios del olvido' de Deleste y 'Las luces azules' de Jennifer Johnston (Automática). Y en el escaparate de "Letras corsarias" 'A toda brida' de Kathryn Scanlan (Errata Naturae), 'Las ocasiones' de Ruben Lardin (Fulgencio Pimentel), 'Lloro porque no tengo sentimientos' de Bárbara Mingo (La navaja Suiza) y 'Cartas a Vicent' de Julio César Pérez (Libros del zorro rojo) .     Nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio, muy picado por la presencia de los libreros, nos trajo 5 libros ideales  para regalar: 'Grandes amores. Veinte parejas inolvidables de la literatura' de Espido Freire e ilustrato por Antono Lorente (Edelvives) , 'Visión de Nueva York' de Carmen Martín Gaite (Siruela), 'En el corazón del bosque' de Lomig (Errata Naturae) , 'Las mil noches y una noche" (A partir de una versión inglesa de Sir Richard Burton) (Reino de Cordelia) y  'Palomar' (1 y 2) de Beto Hernández (La Cúpula).

Eva Cruz rescató un libro abandonado sobre un armario de la redacción de la SER, una joya titulada  'Quino inédito' de Quino, editado por Lumen, que recoge viñetas menos conocidas del ilustrador y humorista argentino que no solo creó a Mafalda , aunque la fama de esta ocultara el resto de su obra. También Antonio Martínez Asensio nos trajo los  libros de sus programas  'Un libro una hora' y ' Un autor en una hora'  : 'El baile" de Irene Nemirovski (Salamandra)  y  'Caperucita en Manhattan' de Carmen Martín Gaite (Siruela) en ' un libro una hora.

What happens when a novelist wants “nonsense and joy” but his characters are destined for a Central European sanatorium? How does the abecedarian form (i.e. organized not chronologically or sequentially but alphabetically) insist on order, yet also embrace absurdity? Here to ponder such questions with host John Plotz are University of Wisconsin–Madison's Sunny Yudkoff (last heard on ND speaking with Sheila Heti) and Adam Ehrlich Sachs, author of Inherited Disorders, The Organs of Sense, and the recently published Gretel and the Great War. Sachs has fallen under the spell of late Habsburg Vienna, where the polymath Ludwig Wittgenstein struggled to make sense of Boltzmann's physics, Arnold Schoenberg read the acerbic journalist Karl Kraus, and everyone, Sachs suspects, was reading Grimms' Fairy Tales, searching for the feeling of inevitability only narrative closure can provide. Beneath his OULIPO-like attachment to arbitrary orders and word-games, though, Sachs admits to a desire for chaos.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is the writer, critic, and author, Merve Emre. Currently the Shapiro-Silverberg Professor of Creative Writing and Criticism at Wesleyan University – and the Director of the Shapiro Center for Creative Writing and Criticism – Emre is also the acclaimed and award-winning author of numerous books. These include Paraliterary: The Making of Bad Readers in Postwar America; The Personality Brokers (selected as one of the best books of 2018 by the New York Times, and others); The Ferrante Letters (winner of the 2021 PROSE award for literature). A holder of prizes in Literary Criticism, Emre is also a contributing writer to The New Yorker, where she has written extensively on art and literature, from Leonora Carrington to Susan Sontag. But! The reason why we are speaking to Emre today is because she is also an ardent expert on Virginia Woolf and the wider Bloomsbury Group, having authored the stunningly beautiful – and informative – The Annotated Mrs. Dalloway, a book that brings alive Woolf's life and words, and contextualises the radical and pioneering lives of those in the Bloomsbury Group in the most effervescent ways. So today on the podcast, we are going to be discussing the sisters at the centre of this movement: Vanessa Bell and Virginia Woolf, women who were born into a Victorian society in London but who broke free of all traditions, who formed languages, both artistic and literary, that paved the way of modernism and modernist thinking in the UK and beyond. We are going to be delving into their life and work: looking at how they informed each other and visualised or put into words the world from their distinct and radical perspectives.

In this installment of the Rock is Lit Season 4 Reading Series, Kat Hausler reads an excerpt from her novel ‘What I Know About July' and discusses its creation. The novel centers around indie rocker Simon Kemper, fresh out of rehab and riding the wave of moderate success with his band in Berlin. But lurking in the background is his stalker, a mysterious figure present at every show, sending unsettling postcards to his label and acting as though she owns him. When she suddenly vanishes during one of his performances, Simon becomes the prime suspect. What begins as an attempt to clear his name spirals into a deeper psychological journey, as Simon questions whether her obsession could have truly ended—or if it has merely become entangled in the lives of those closest to him: his bandmates, a new romantic interest, an embittered ex, and the person he thought he had left behind. Narcissistic and insecure, Simon's struggle to become a better person is central to this haunting story.

De Vlaamse acteur en regisseur Michel van Dousselaere nam in 2018 afscheid van zijn publiek nadat in 2014 een zeldzame vorm van progressieve afasie bij hem werd vastgesteld. Een hersenaandoening waardoor zijn spraakvermogen verdween en hij fysiek aftakelde. Over zijn ziekte maakte hij samen met zijn vrouw, documentairemaker Irma Wijsman, de documentaire Michel, acteur verliest de woorden aan de hand van zijn laatste theaterrol. In het vervolg Michel en de handen op zijn huid portretteert Wijsman vier jonge mensen die voor Michel gezorgd hebben en onderzoekt ze welke impact die zorg op hun jonge leven heeft gehad. Lara Billie Rense spreekt met Wijsman over het werk en leven van Van Dousselaere. Waarom koos hij bewust voor jonge mantelzorgers? En hoe verzorg je iemand zonder woorden? In het tweede uur en de podcast van Wat blijft: In de podcast Wat Blijft hoor je de komende weken de 12-delige serie Grote Geesten over indrukwekkende denkers uit de Humanistische Canon. Van Aristoteles tot Hannah Arendt en van Simone De Beauvoir tot James Baldwin. Wat hebben zij betekend? Wat kunnen we leren van hun leven en denken?  En hoe leven zij voort?    In de tweede aflevering volgt Lotje IJzermans het spoor terug van denker, romancier, feminist en pacifist Virginia Woolf. Ze was oprichter van de Bloomsburygroep, een groep intellectuelen in het literaire leven van Londen en werd bekend met haar boeken ‘Mrs. Dalloway', ‘Naar de vuurtoren' en ‘Orlando'. Haar echtgenoot Leonard Woolf noemde haar een genie, maar ook buiten haar intieme kring oogstte ze veel bewondering.  Ze was de pionier van het modernisme en experimenteerde met bijv. the stream of consciousness-techniek. En nog steeds is haar werk actueel, springlevend en een bron van inspiratie. Haar leven was vol diepe dalen en ze werd geplaagd door depressies. In 1941 maakte ze een einde aan haar leven door zich te verdrinken in de rivier de Ouse.   Lotje praat met drie schrijvers van drie generaties: schrijver en radiomaker Nikki Dekker voor wie Virginia een rolmodel is, schrijver en filosoof Jannah Loontjens die Virginia al sinds haar studententijd bewondert en schrijver en filosoof Joke Hermsen.

Chapter 1What is EinsteinIn Walter Isaacson's insightful biography, "Einstein," we journey through the enigmatic life of Albert Einstein, from his rebellious early years to his ascent as a titan of modern physics. Isaacson elegantly weaves Einstein's personal anecdotes with his professional milestones, exploring how his imaginative spirit not only redefined the laws of physics but also made him a global icon. The theme passionately highlights the interplay between creativity and scientific innovation, demonstrating how Einstein's intellectual bravery—questioning established norms and visualizing the mechanics of the universe in new ways—led to groundbreaking discoveries like the theory of relativity. Through intimate letters, personal struggles, and triumphs, Isaacson also touches on Einstein's humanitarian efforts, his roles in nuclear disarmament and civil rights, and his life as an outspoken pacifist, showing a full portrait of not just the scientist, but the man who believed in the beauty of creativity in contributing to a better world.Chapter 2 Meet the Writer of EinsteinWalter Isaacson, in his biography "Einstein: His Life and Universe," brilliantly employs a clear, accessible prose style that brings the complexities of Albert Einstein's scientific contributions and the nuances of his personal life into sharp relief. Isaacson's approach is methodical yet engaging, ensuring that readers, regardless of their scientific background, can grasp the concepts and significance of Einstein's work.Isaacison also excels in emotional depth. He delves into Einstein's relationships, struggles, and the ethical dilemmas he faced, using a narrative style that makes these aspects as compelling as his scientific achievements. The use of vivid anecdotes and quotes allows Isaacson to present Einstein not just as a physicist, but as a multifaceted individual whose emotions and personal conflicts contributed to his theories and worldview.Through meticulously chosen words and a balanced tone, Isaacson captures the poignancy of Einstein's life, making the reader empathize with his journey and understand the monumental impact of his contributions.Chapter 3 Deeper Understanding of EinsteinAlbert Einstein, primarily celebrated for his contributions to physics, including the theory of relativity (special and general), has exerted profound influence beyond the scientific domain, affecting literature, culture, and society in myriad ways. His impact has molded public perceptions of science, the role of the scientist, and the moral responsibilities entwined with scientific advancement. Influence on Literature and Art1. Modernist Literature: Einstein's theories challenged traditional notions of time and space, resonating with the modernist movement in literature and arts, which was already experimenting with nonlinear narratives and abstract structures. Writers such as Virginia Woolf and James Joyce incorporated these new physics concepts into their works to explore subjective perspectives and fragmented realities. For instance, Woolf's "Mrs. Dalloway" reflects on the relativity of time as experienced by its protagonists.2. Science Fiction: Einstein's relativity and his later involvement in nuclear physics (indirectly through E=mc²'s implication in nuclear energy) have fueled countless science fiction stories. Concepts like time travel, alternate dimensions, and advanced technology bases on relativistic physics have become staples in works by authors such as H.G. Wells and Isaac Asimov. Cultural Impact1. Iconic Status: Einstein's image, particularly his wild hair and distinct mustache, has become a cultural icon, symbolizing the quintessential "mad scientist". This image is not just pervasive in academic circles but widely recognized, from Halloween costumes to memes, reflecting his integration into...

From John Cheever's 1964 short story “The Swimmer” to Elizabeth Gilbert's best-selling 2006 memoir, “Eat, Pray, Love,” our culture has long grappled with what it means to enter middle age. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz examine depictions of that tipping point—and of the crises that often come with it. In the mid-twentieth century (and, depending on your reading of Dante and Balzac, long before that), the phenomenon was largely the purview of men, but massive societal shifts, beginning with the women's rights movement, have yielded a new archetype. The hosts discuss how novels like Miranda July's “All Fours” and Dana Spiotta's “Wayward” have updated the genre for the modern age. “I think the crisis of midlife,” Schwartz says, “is just the crisis of life, period. You invent it for yourself.” Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Miranda July Turns the Lights On,” by Alexandra Schwartz (The New Yorker)“All Fours,” by Miranda July“Me and You and Everyone We Know” (2005)“Inferno,” by Dante Alighieri“Mrs. Dalloway,” by Virginia Woolf“Cousin Bette,” by Honoré de Balzac“The Swimmer,” by John Cheever (The New Yorker)“The Swimmer” (1968)“The Women's Room,” by Marilyn French“Wifey,” by Judy Blume“This Isn't What Millennial Middle Age Was Supposed to Look Like,” by Jessica Grose (The New York Times)“Wayward,” by Dana Spiotta“Eat, Pray, Love,” by Elizabeth Gilbert “Eat, Pray, Love” (2010)New episodes drop every Thursday. Follow Critics at Large wherever you get your podcasts. 

Please join us as we read the first half of Virginia Woolf's modernist masterpiece, Mrs. Dalloway! Taking place on a single day in mid-June 1923, the book takes us in and out of the minds of our two main characters, society housewife Clarissa Dalloway (who is throwing a party), and World War One veteran Septimus Warren Smith (who is having some extremely concerning psychological issues), as well as basically everyone around them. It's extremely good! Jackie regrets becoming a slug; Rachel tells a tale of betraying a dear friend at the club (or was it????); Bekah describes her ultimate dental destiny. Topics include: Ernest Hemingway, Lord of the Rings, Sylvia Plath and her fig tree, slugging, skincare advice corner, dog psychologists, Tamagotchis, jelly sandals, Monkey Beach, the Big Bean, Belle & Sebastian, Malört, sippin' on that thang, Mary Karr, catcalling, explicit undertones, That's So Raven, gold-digging advice, Celine Dion, and riches to rags to riches/revenge. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Laurence Ralph is a Princeton professor who studies gangs and youth violence. Five years ago it all became very personal when a family member, 19-year old Luis Alberto Quiñonez, was killed in San Francisco in retaliation for a gang-related murder he didn't commit. That tragic story is the subject of his new book, Sito: An American Teenager and the City That Failed Him. We'll talk with him about the book and his work on juvenile justice reform and how to break the cycles of youth violence. Guests: Laurence Ralph, professor of anthropology, Princeton University; author, "SITO: An American Teenager and the City That Failed Him." He will appear on Thursday March 14 at 7PM at Mrs. Dalloway's bookstore in Berkeley.
