Podcast appearances and mentions of elizabeth kadetsky

The New England Review bills itself as a “snapshot of the literary moment,” which for my guest Elizabeth Kadetsky means great writing, of course, but also work that's relevant to today and showcases a writer able to get out of her or his own head by getting out into the world at large. Fittingly, this episode jumps in locale from Greece to India to Sudan and, finally, to New York City. In every case, a reckoning is taking place—a chance to ponder objects, people, events to try and grasp their value and meaning. In Greece as explored by Joseph Pearson in “The Island That Eats Its People,” a treacherous local landscape doesn't prove to be nearly as daunting as the war-torn Syria some refugees the writer encounters have come from. In “Stories: South Sudan by Adrie Kusserow,” the key is realizing that as a NGO worker in Africa and a witness to the trauma-aid being insufficiently offered to refugees relocated to Vermont, she's an outsider always. The episode also includes two pieces by Kadetsky outside the scope of NER: “The Goddess Complex” about looted art that makes its way from India to NYC, and my guest's fascination with her own experiences with graffiti bombing and the documentary Downtown 81 co-starring the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and the singer Debbie Harry from Blonde. Elizabeth Kadetsky has been a Fullbright Scholar and serves as a Professor of English and Creative Writing at Penn State. Her collection of essays, The Memory Eaters, was published by University of Massachusetts Press in 2020. Kadetsky is NER's Creative Nonfiction Editor.

Today we explore the epic yoga battle between the Iyengar school and the Ashtanga school, as we sit down with author, yoga practitioner, three-time Fullbright fellow to India, researcher, editor, and Professor of English and Creative Writing at Penn State University, Elizabeth Kadetsky! Elizabeth's took up the study of yoga when she was a teenager (back in 1984, but who's counting?) and she continues to practice yoga today. After twelve years studying in Iyengar studios, she finally met BKS Iyengar at a talk he was giving in New York City in 1996. You may have hear of her very popular book, First There Is a Mountain (published in 2004). This book was intended to be the original “Eat, Pray, Love.” As early yoga students, it was the first of it's kind. This book chronicles a year where Elizabeth worked directly with the great Yoga Master, BKS Iyengar, while she was researching his role in the history of Indian Independence and the complicated dance between East and West. Later her practice evolved to include many forms of Hatha Yoga and also Ashtanga yoga, which is how she first met Russell, while practising with Guy Donahaye, in New York city. Today, we're learning about her research around the authenticity of the origin stories we were told about the yoga practice and how yoga's being weaponized by the Right-Wing politics of India. We look at how the idea of anything as a “Pure Tradition” can become a toxic premise upon which racism festers. The world has always been a global place and we should celebrate the continuation of cultural exchange. Building bridges instead of walls. We're also diving into her current and ongoing research about a set of stolen goddess sculptures from India, and the great debate around whether these recently found stolen works of art should be returned back to their place of origin or not. What is the difference between a temple, a church, or a museum? Should great works of art belong to a more universal collective or to a particular group or person? Does the repatriation of art, actually right a colonial wrong? And what happens to these works of art once they are returned back to their native land? What kind of transparency and accountability is required of a government who takes back their stolen works of art to the rest of the global community? If you're ready to examine the intersection of politics, art, and yoga and what's our responsibility is as conscious leaders and yoga practitioners… This is the conversation for you!
