Podcast appearances and mentions of Daniel Defoe

"Tis as reasonable to represent one kind of Imprisonment by another as it is to represent any Thing that really exists by that which exists not." — DANIEL DEFOE

Sabine Kroissenbrunner im Gespräch mit Christian RederBEREIT ZUM AUFBRECHEN Schwierige Zeiten heute? Immer schon. Und immer schon im Aufbruch – in eine solidarische Zukunft. Christian Reder, geb. 1944, stellt auf 384 Seiten dar, welche Arbeitserfahrungen, Projekte und Versuche ihn seit jeher geprägt haben und auf welche Widerstände, Diskussionskulturen und politische Abgründe er, nunmehr 81 Jahre alt, gestoßen ist. Dabei kompromisslos weltoffen zu sein, aber vor allem auch zu bleiben, hat aus dem studierten Staatswissenschaftler einen gefragten Analysten, aus dem Projektberater einen produktiven Essayisten, aus dem Welterkunder (u. a. Nicaragua, Syrien, Libyen, Ukraine, Afghanistan …) einen Krisenmanager und Finanzier von Hilfs- und Bildungsprojekten gemacht. Sein Plädoyer für selbstbestimmtes Arbeiten ist eine Grundsatzdevise geblieben, die sich an den österreichischen Verhältnissen in Politik und Wirtschaft, Medien oder Universitätsbetrieb ordentlich gerieben hat – „wert zu was“ kann man links auf der PC-Tastatur lesen, eine weitere Frage, die allen seinen Projekten zu unterliegen scheint. Neben der Vielzahl an Büchern und Publikationen unterstützt die von ihm geleitete RD Foundation Vienna politische und humanitäre Projekte: überschaubar, aber zielgerichtet, nachhaltig.Ein Leben in Österreich als „Projektarbeit“ – darf man das überhaupt? Christian Reder, Politikwissenschaftler, Projektentwickler, Essayist, Autor und Herausgeber zahlreicher Bücher zu analytisch-kulturübergreifenden Themen. Seit 1985 Professor an der Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien, Leiter des von ihm aufgebauten Zentrums für Kunst- und Wissenstransfer, Emeritierung 2012. Die 2011 mit seiner Frau Ingrid Reder zur Bestärkung der Zivilgesellschaft, plausibler Projekte und Publikationen gegründete gemeinnützige Privatstiftung RD Foundation Vienna. Research. Development. Human Rights, finanzierte auch die Konferenzen des Vienna Process for a Democratic Afghanistan, als nun weithin anerkanntes Forum des Exils, dessen in diesem Herbst publiziertes Programm alternative Perspektiven zur Taliban-Herrschaft präzisiert. Im Mandelbaum Verlag erschienen von ihm zuletzt: Bereit zum Aufbrechen. Arbeitserfahrungen, Projekte, Versuche (2025); Grenzland Ukraine. Unterdrückte Potenziale. Drastische Gewalterfahrungen (2022); Daniel Defoe. Ein Essay über Projekte (als Herausgeber mit ausführlichem Kommentar, Neuauflage 2022); Mediterrane Urbanität.

Zapraszam dzisiaj do posłuchania rozmowy o Danielu Defoe i "Robinsonie Crusoe". A opowiada o tym prof. Jakub Lipski - autor wprowadzenia do właśnie wydanego przez Wydawnictwo Ossolineum, pierwszego pełnego polskiego wydania "Robinsona".

Literature's most famous castaway, Robinson Crusoe, was washed up on a desert island - where he would remain for 28 years - on 30th September, 1659. By selecting this date, author Daniel Defoe ensured that his fictional protagonist's fate pre-dated the real-life estrangement of Royal Navy man Alexander Selkirk, who was stranded some 46 years later: 14 years prior to Defoe writing his novel. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how his story pioneered not only the English novel, but also the movie trailer; ask whether Crusoe's narrative voice sounds like an authentic young man of the period, or betrays the fact that Defoe was nearly sixty when he created him; and dig around in the writer's early career (including, but not limited to, creating perfume from civets)...

Send us a textNow, Daniel Defoe, the author of Robinson Crusoe, was a prolific and multi-talented English writer, journalist, and spy, whose life was as adventurous as his most famous characters. Born Daniel Foe around 1660 in London to a family of Dissenters (Protestants who did not conform to the Church of England), he later added the aristocratic-sounding "De" to his name.Defoe's early career was far from literary. He was a merchant, dealing in a wide range of goods from hosiery to wine. His business ventures were often precarious, and he experienced several bankruptcies, which gave him a firsthand understanding of economic and social struggles. This period also saw him participate in the failed Monmouth Rebellion in 1685, a political uprising against King James II, which he narrowly escaped punishment for. Later, he became a close ally of King William III and worked as a government agent and spy, particularly during the lead-up to the 1707 Act of Union between England and Scotland.  So you have Daniel Defoe going from jail to literary fame.Defoe's outspoken political pamphlets frequently landed him in hot water. In 1703, he was arrested and sentenced to the pillory for publishing a satirical pamphlet titled The Shortest-Way with the Dissenters, which ironically mimicked the extreme views of those who wanted to persecute his own religious group. While in prison, he wrote "Hymn to the Pillory," a poem that mocked his punishment and gained him public sympathy. After his release, he began his career as a professional writer and journalist, founding and almost single-handedly writing a periodical called The Review for nine years.Although he wrote hundreds of works on various topics—from politics and economics to crime and history—Defoe is best known today as one of the founders of the English novel. At the age of nearly 60, he published Robinson Crusoe (1719), which was an immediate sensation. Drawing on the real-life story of castaway Alexander Selkirk, Defoe's novel used a detailed, realistic narrative style that helped define a new g his goal was to expose their hypocrisy and bigotry by taking their arguments to the most absurd and logical conclusion that the only   enre of fiction. He followed this success with other major works, including Moll Flanders and A Journal of the Plague Year (both 1722). His ability to create compelling, believable characters and stories from the perspective of ordinary, often marginalized, people cemented his place in literary history.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Hay gente que se aprovecha de las creencias y las supersticiones de otras personas, sobre todo en comunidades rurales, y para muestra, el cuento que les traigo el día de hoy en Lecturas de leyenda, un cuento escrito en el lejano año de 1722 por el escritor Inglés Daniel Defoe y llamado El Fantasma Provechoso.

Both Dan's stories seem to present exceptionally strong evidence for life after death. The first comes from the state of Illinois and is the exceptionally strange late 19th century tale of the Watseka Wonder.  Then his second story takes us back to the early 18th century to Canterbury, England. Did famed English author Daniel Defoe write  the first based-on-a-true story ghost encounter claim? Lynze begins the back half of the show with a creepy encounter with a shadowy figure inside of the mind of someone playing a game. Then, we are off to New Orleans where we hear about two fans strange stay in a French Quarter hotel. Monthly Patreon Donation: This months charitable donation is going to Ignite Adaptive Sports. Ignite Adaptive Sports mission is to provide snow sport opportunities to people with disabilities. They believe that everyone should be able to enjoy winter sports, regardless of skill or ability level. We are a volunteer based organization that provide snow sport lessons to athletes with disabilities out of Eldora Mountain Resort.  In 2024, 320 volunteers gave 22,390 hours of their time to provide 1,690 snowsports lessons to 459 athletes. Ignite Adaptive Sports provides sit skiing lessons, cross country and snowshoe lessons, downhill skiing, snowboarding and ski biking lessons. They rely on grants, donations, an annual fundraising gala, and our host mountain Eldora to be able to provide this much needed service. Dan and Lynze had the pleasure of meeting Sam Brady who works with this great non profit. Sam shared with us that Ignite Adaptive Sports is run by almost all volunteers with only 2 paid staff members. They typically receive funding for disabled veterans to be able to receive lessons  at no cost to them. However, this year,  due to budget cuts in the DEI space, it's not looking good. Sam asked if we'd be interested in supporting this cause and supporting disabled people, especially disabled veterans. We sent $11,600 over to them and put another $1250 into the scholarship fund!

Hace poco más de un año nadie quería publicar la novela 'La península de las casas vacías' de David Uclés. Su manuscrito, en el que llevaba trabajando quince años,  recibió el 'no' de la mayoría de las grandes y pequeñas editoriales. Nadie quería apostar por un autor joven con una novela de setecientas páginas sobre la guerra civil y escrita al más puro estlo del realismo mágico ¿Quien iba a leer algo así? Pero hubo una editoria que apostó por ella, Siruela.  Doce meses después se han vendido más de cien mil ejemplares, ha sido ensalzada por la crítica, encabeza todas las listas de mejor novela. Todos estos éxitos lo hemos celebrado en Hoy por Hoy con su autor, David Uclés. Además hemos hablado de otros libros. Dos donados por el propio Uclés a nuestra biblioteca: 'La muerte y la primavera' de Mercé Rodoreda (Club Editor) y  'Alfanhui' de Rafael Sánchez Ferlosio (Destino). Luego , nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio, aprovechó  la fecha del 25 de abril para hablarnos de cuatro novelas relacionadas con este día sea por su autor o contenido: 'Levantando del suelo' de José Saramago (Alfaguara), 'Robinson Crusoe' de Daniel Defoe (Sexto Piso) , 'Homenaje a Cataluña" George Orwell ( DeBolsillo) y  'Su único hijo' Leopoldo Alas 'Clarin' (Castalia). Además , Martínez Asensio nos dejó el libro que nos contará en su programa 'Un libro  una hora' :'El malentendido' de Irene Némerosky (Salamandra).   Tuvimos también novedades con Pepe Rubio, una de ellas reedición:  'Los caimanes' de Manuel Ciges Aparicio  (Montesinos) y 'Las voces del jilguero' de Eva Losada (Funambulista). El libro perdido, abandonado en la redacción de la SER, lo recuperó esta semana Eva Cruz y fue 'Cuantas noches son esta noche' de Juan Domingo Aguilar (La navaja suiza). Y finalmente las donaciones de los oyentes: 'Los garbanzos de doña Violeta' de Reyes Aguilar (Alfar), 'La lluvia amarilla' de Julio Llamazares (Seix Barral) y 'Maddi y las fronteras' de Edurne Portela (Galaxia Gutemberg) 

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 17, 2025 is: uncouth • un-KOOTH • adjective Uncouth describes things, such as language or behavior, that are impolite or socially unacceptable. A person may also be described as uncouth if they are behaving in a rude way. // Stacy realized it would be uncouth to show up to the party without a gift, so she picked up a bottle of wine on the way. See the entry > Examples: “Perhaps people deride those who buy books solely for how they look because it reminds them that despite their primary love of literature, they still appreciate a beautiful cover. It's not of primary importance but liking how something looks in your home matters to some extent, even if it feels uncouth to acknowledge.” — Chiara Dello Joio, LitHub.com, 24 Jan. 2023 Did you know? Old English speakers used the word cūth to describe things that were familiar to them, and uncūth for the strange and mysterious. These words passed through Middle English into modern English with different spellings but the same meanings. While couth eventually dropped out of use, uncouth soldiered on. In Captain Singleton by English novelist Daniel Defoe, for example, the author refers to “a strange noise more uncouth than any they had ever heard,” while Shakespeare wrote of an “uncouth forest” in As You Like It. This “unfamiliar” sense of uncouth, however, joined couth in becoming, well, unfamiliar to most English users, giving way to the now-common meanings, “rude” and “lacking polish or grace.” The adjective couth in use today, meaning “sophisticated” or “polished,” arose at the turn of the 20th century, not from the earlier couth, but as a back-formation of uncouth, joining the ranks of other “uncommon opposites” such as kempt and gruntled.

The foundations of modern copyright law were laid on 10th April 1710, when the Statute of Anne came into effect. Before the Act, anyone could copy and sell books without giving a penny to the author; now, writers would be protected from being completely exploited by (British) publishers for an initial period of 14 years. Writers like Jonathan Swift and Daniel Defoe had earned respect as professionals, pushing for more control over their own work, and leading to a shift away from the Stationers' Company—a powerful guild that previously held a monopoly over publishing and censorship. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explore how later writers like William Wordsworth would campaign for longer copyright duration; revisit the milestones that allowed the law to be applied to other creative endeavours, such as music and film; and reveal why you won't be hearing Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech in many adverts for a few years yet… Further Reading: • ‘The Statute of Anne' (British Parliament, 1710): https://ipmall.law.unh.edu/sites/default/files/hosted_resources/lipa/copyrights/Statute%20of%20Anne%20_1710_.pdf • ‘Whose line is it anyway?'

Robinson Crusoe è un classico dell'avventura: tra naufragi, isole deserte e la forza dell'ingegno umano!

Tout le monde connaît Robinson Crusoé, le célèbre héros du roman de Daniel Defoe. Mais peu savent qu'il a été inspiré par un homme bien réel : Alexandre Selkirk. Marin écossais au tempérament explosif, il a survécu seul pendant plus de quatre ans sur une île déserte après avoir été abandonné par son équipage.Né en 1676 en Écosse, Selkirk était un marin rebelle et querelleur. En 1703, il embarqua sur un navire corsaire anglais, le Cinque Ports, chargé d'attaquer les colonies espagnoles en Amérique du Sud. Son caractère impétueux lui joua un mauvais tour : en 1704, alors que le navire faisait escale sur une île isolée de l'archipel Juan Fernández (au large du Chili), Selkirk entra en conflit avec le capitaine. Convaincu que le bateau était en mauvais état, il demanda à être débarqué, pensant qu'un autre navire viendrait bientôt le récupérer.Malheureusement, il se trompait. Le Cinque Ports reprit la mer… et coula peu après. Selkirk se retrouva seul sur l'île, livré à lui-même, sans moyen de s'échapper. Il apprit à survivre en chassant des chèvres sauvages, en mangeant des fruits et en construisant un abri avec du bois et des peaux. Pour ne pas sombrer dans la folie, il parlait aux animaux et lisait la Bible, son seul compagnon de lecture.Après quatre ans et quatre mois d'isolement, il fut enfin sauvé en 1709 par un autre corsaire anglais, Woodes Rogers, qui le trouva en pleine santé et impressionné par sa capacité de survie. De retour en Angleterre, Selkirk devint une célébrité, et son histoire inspira le roman Robinson Crusoé de Daniel Defoe, publié en 1719.Cependant, malgré cette aventure hors du commun, Selkirk ne trouva jamais la paix. Il s'enrôla à nouveau dans la marine et mourut de fièvre jaune en 1721, en mer.Aujourd'hui, l'île où il vécut porte son nom : l'île Alejandro Selkirk, un hommage à cet homme dont la vie extraordinaire donna naissance à l'un des récits d'aventure les plus célèbres de la littérature.

Eighteenth century prison break artist and folk hero Jack Sheppard is among history's most frequently adapted rogues: his exploits have inspired Daniel Defoe, John Gay, Bertolt Brecht, and most recently, Jordy Rosenberg, whose first novel, Confessions of the Fox (2018), rewrites Sheppard as a trans man and Sheppard's partner Bess as a South Asian lascar and part of the resistance movement in the Fens. Rosenberg embeds the manuscript tracing their love story within a satirical frame narrative of a professor whose discovery of it gets him caught up in an absurd and increasingly alarming tussle with neoliberal academic bureaucracy and corporate malfeasance. Jordy is joined here by Annie McClanahan, a scholar of contemporary literature and culture who describes herself as an unruly interloper in the 18th century.  Like Jordy's novel, their conversation limns the 18th and 21st centuries, taking up 18th century historical concerns and the messy early history of the novel alongside other textual and vernacular forms, but also inviting us to rethink resistance and utopian possibility today through the lens of this earlier moment. Jordy and Annie leapfrog across centuries, reading the 17th century ballad “The Powtes Complaint” in relation to extractivism and environmental justice, theorizing the “riotous, anarchic, queer language of the dispossessed” that characterizes Confessions of the Fox as a kind of historically informed cognitive estrangement for the present, and considering the work theory does (and does not) do in literary works and in academic institutions.

Rerun: Anne Bonny and Mary Read - the most notorious women to swashbuckle and plunder in the ‘golden age of piracy' - were captured near Jamaica by pirate-hunter Jonathan Barnet on 8th November, 1720. Disguised as men for most of their careers, they sailed (and cavorted) with Pirate Captain ‘Calico Jack'. But, when their crimes came to trial, they both avoided being sentenced to death by ‘pleading the belly'. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly speculate about how Bonny and Read were able to pass as men so convincingly; explain how they met in the ‘pirate republic' of Nassau; and reveal why ‘Robinson Crusoe' author Daniel Defoe may just be responsible for the enduring ‘Reader's Wives' version of Bonny and Read's friendship...

Robert Louis Stevenson, a sickly boy with a vivid imagination, grew up along Scotland's rugged coast, where tales of shipwrecks and buried gold stirred dreams of pirates and treasure. Out of this coastal world, Stevenson crafted Treasure Island - and with it, Long John Silver, a character who has since come to define the cunning, complex pirate in our imaginations. But what inspired Stevenson's tale, and how did his own experiences, steeped in adventure and struggle, breathe life into one of literature's greatest pirates? Tracing the origins of Treasure Island and its enduring characters, we learn that the stories are grounded in Stevenson's Scottish roots, a tapestry of real pirate lore, and the influential writings of Daniel Defoe. We meet Jim Hawkins, the young hero, and Long John Silver, the peg-legged rogue inspired by stories of real marauders. Join Anita and William as they explore how Treasure Island came to shape the mythical pirate figure and inspire countless adventures.

Jonathan Swift's enduring satire Gulliver's Travels was first published on October 28, 1726 - though the true identity of the book's author was concealed from readers. A spoof of Daniel Defoe's popular Robinson Crusoe, the novel bleakly satirised British society, colonialism, and the monarchy, shocking as many readers as it entertained. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal the tale's rebellious origins in Swift's social oeuvre; consider why children still relate to (abridged versions of) this highly specific political satire; and explain why Swift's creation lead directly to Yahoo!

This story of a man stranded alone on an island is said to be second only to the Bible in its number of translations. But who was Defoe's inspiration for creating one of the best-known protagonists in literature? And what led to this real-life sailor spending years of his life cut off from human contact?

This warm and witty novel presents itself as the first person narration of an immensely likeable and resourceful woman who, born in the most shameful of circumstances, comes to be desired by, and indeed married to, many men, in the course of her life — some of whom she inveigles into marriage on false pretences — who, when all else fails, resorts to an extraordinarily successful life of crime, pulling many ingenious heists until at last she is nabbed and faced with a real prospect of being hanged. Moll's descriptions of the amorous inclinations of males are often very funny — and not the least part of the joke here, of course, is that Moll's voice itself is actually the creation of a male. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This year we are launching a new strand of the podcast on eyewitness testimony, in which we bring you the most extraordinary primary sources – history as told and written by the people who were actually there.Today we start with one of the most atmospheric of all maritime sources, one that transports you directly back to the creaky decks of the age of sail – you can smell the tar in the rigging – you can almost taste the rum.This excerpt on Captain Avery comes from A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pyrates, which was published in 1724, exactly 300 years ago. It was a fascinating time in the publishing industry: a market in criminal biography already existed and the author of this book, Charles Johnson, hopped on board to bring to the world for the first time the adventures and crimes of pirates.Fascinatingly, we don't have any idea who Johnson actually was. Many thousands of words have been written and suggestions made including that he was actually Daniel Defoe. What is certain is that whoever wrote the book knew his – or her – stuff. The account is brimming with detail and accuracy. The author undoubtedly spoke with people who had sailed with these pirates and knew their world intimately. And the year 1724, when this was published was the very peak of what became known as the 'Golden Age of Piracy'.The book became hugely famous and public interest in pirates can be traced in a direct line right up to the twentieth century classics we know so well, such as Treasure Island, Peter Pan and Pirates of the Caribbean.This particular chapter introduces Captain Avery, one of the worst of the worst. Born in the summer of 1659 he mysteriously disappeared in 1696 after an extraordinary life for which he was known by his contemporaries as 'The King of the Pirates.' Hosted on Acast.
