Marco Filoni"La Russia e l'Occidente"Fëdor TjutčevAdelphiwww.adelphi.itUn libro che parla di geopolitica molto prima che questa avesse un nome – indispensabile per capire la Russia di oggi alla luce di quella di quasi due secoli fa.A cura di Marco FiloniCon un saggio di Massimo Cacciari«Per la prima volta in Europa si levò la voce ferma e coraggiosa dell'opinione pubblica russa». Con queste lapidarie parole lo scrittore Ivan Sergeevič Aksakov accolse una serie di articoli apparsi in Germania e in Francia sul finire degli anni Quaranta dell'Ottocento e destinati a suscitare una vasta eco in Occidente. L'autore di quelle pagine anonime, che osavano rivolgersi all'Europa con inaudita libertà e dignità, era Fëdor Tjutčev. Diplomatico, poeta ammirato da Puškin e da Turgenev, da Dostoevskij e da Tolstoj, uomo di grandi vizi e virtù, Tjutčev era animato da un entusiasmo senza limiti per la sua Russia, che – credeva fermamente – sarebbe diventata un grande impero, capace di unire tutti i popoli slavi di fede ortodossa. Ancora oggi, se si vogliono comprendere le mire espansionistiche di quel paese, è agli scritti politici di Tjutčev che occorre volgere lo sguardo. Fra le sue «intuizioni storiche» – come le definisce il teologo Georgij Florovskij –, spiccano l'agonia della civiltà occidentale, la questione romana e il Papato, il ruolo della censura e dell'autocrazia zarista, fino alla previsione di una catastrofica guerra che l'Occidente avrebbe scatenato contro la Russia uscendone sconfitto, e che avrebbe segnato l'inizio di un nuovo capitolo della Storia. Temi, come salta agli occhi, di bruciante attualità.Appartenente a una famiglia dell'aristocrazia moscovita, Fëdor Ivanovič Tjutčev (1803-1873) fu diplomatico oltre che eminente poeta, e dopo aver iniziato la carriera nel Collegio degli Affari esteri di Pietroburgo operò come incaricato speciale a Monaco di Baviera – dove frequentò Heine, Schelling e gli ambienti del Romanticismo tedesco – e a Torino, dove visse dal 1837 al 1839. Nel 1836 alcune sue liriche furono pubblicate dalla rivista di Puškin «Il contemporaneo», suscitando i primi, ampi consensi. Nel 1844 tornò definitivamente in Russia, mentre la sua fama di poeta cresceva dopo i riconoscimenti tributatigli da Turgenev, Fet, Dobroljubov.Marco Filoni insegna filosofia politica all'Università Link di Roma. Ha insegnato e svolto ricerca al Politecnico di Milano, all'Istituto di Studi Superiori dell'Università di Bologna e all'École Normale Supérieure di Parigi. Nel 2022 è stato nominato titolare del programma di ricerca Éclaireurs della Fondation Robert de Sorbon di Parigi. Tra i suoi libri: Anatomia di un assedio. La paura nella città (Skira 2019); L'azione politica del filosofo. La vita e il pensiero di Alexandre Kojève (Bollati Boringhieri 2021); Il calcolo della paura (Einaudi 2021); Lineamenti di una fenomenologia del diritto (Marsilio 2024).Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Jeremy Allen White's ROTTA THE HUTT's inclusion in THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU was a surprise to many a Star Wars fan. Not since Dave Filoni's 2008 animated-film The Clone Wars had we seen Rotta, then affectionately known as "Stinky". In that film, our heroes are tasked by Jabba The Hutt to bring his son back safely. Fast-forward to 2026, and in Favreau's/Filoni's film, the Hutt-twins task our heroes to bring their nephew back safely. Something about poetry comes to mind...Today we take a look at the surprising inclusion of this character and how compelling he is within the story, while also furthering Jon Favreau's recurring filmic-theme: fathers and sons. From Iron Man to Chef, Favreau explores these relationships and with The Mandalorian And Grogu, Rotta serves to further continue to explore this theme. A question lingers though... do Hutts engage in polycules?We also have a bit of fun with a Q&A from listeners!

Perché continuiamo a tornare da Star Wars anche quando sappiamo benissimo che Disney ci sta apparecchiando l'ennesimo buffet della nostalgia? Con The Mandalorian and Grogu, Favreau e Filoni confezionano un film che sembra una miniserie Disney+ portata in sala con il mantello stirato: missioni, mostri, Hutt, inseguimenti, combattimenti e Grogu che fattura più di intere civiltà. In puntata parliamo del cortocircuito perfetto: i padri vanno per rivedere la propria infanzia, i figli si sciolgono per Baby Yoda, Disney incassa da entrambi. Questa è la via. Purtroppo.

Episode Notes: Some how, Star Wars has returned. Join us as we discuss the first film of the Filoni era, "The Mandolorian and Grogu". In this episode we discuss why Disney chooses this as their first Star Wars film since the Skywalker saga. We obviously air out our Star Wars grievances from the past and share a slight hope of optimism for the future. Listen all the way through for a full post movie viewing analysis. This is the way.

O tym dziś dyskutują Mando, Sev z Pory Imperatora oraz Jerry. Jakie mieliśmy oczekiwania względem tej produkcji? Jak wyglądała jej promocja? Czy Favreau i Filoni zaserwowali nam festiwal cameo, czy może coś więcej? Jak oceniamy poszczególne rozwiązania fabularne? Jak broni się strona audio-wizualna całości? O tym wszystkim i wielu innych kwestiach posłuchacie w dzisiejszym podcaście. A jako, że „Mandalorian i Grogu” to produkcja zdecydowanie dla młodszych odbiorców to na koniec odcinka zapraszamy na dyskusję z dzieciakami Jerry'ego, które opowiedzą jak wypada ten film z perspektywy zarówno fanów Grogu, jak i osób, które z serialem nie miały wiele do czynienia. Opinii Młodych posłuchacie od: 01:44:49

This week kicks off Star Wars Month, and your favorite hosts are diving deep into the life and career of Dave Filoni, the current President and Chief Creative Officer of Lucasfilm. The most pivotal moment discussed is how Filoni originally got hired by George Lucas in 2005: instead of just asking about animation skills, Lucas challenged him on the themes of "The Phantom Menace," specifically the "Duel of the Fates." Ashley praises Filoni for his dedication to continuity, noting that his projects rarely have the plot holes or contradictions that plague other parts of the franchise.Produced by: Limitless Broadcasting Network.For more info, merch, and all the other podcasts, visit: www.limitlessbroadcastingnetwork.comCheck out Ashley's Disney deep dives at: pixiedustfiles.wordpress.comFollow your new Disney besties on Instagram @pixiedusttwinspodcastFollow Dan, honorary third host of the "Pixie Dust Twins" Podcast, and King of the Manifestos: @Dantaastic on Instagram and YouTubeMentioned in this episode:Canvas & Crime: Turning True Crime into Quirky CharactersGet your own notorious shot glass or art print at www.canvasandcrime.com!

Together, they chatted about Maul Shadow Lord, The Mandalorian and Grogu, the state of Star Wars for the last couple of years, and everything under the twin suns of Tatooine in this wide-ranging conversation about a galaxy far, far away.

Happy 200 episodes to us! What a cool way to celebrate, too, by spending it discussing the great talents of Sam Witwer, Filoni and team, and all the talented creators behind the brand new series, "Maul: Shadow Lord."

They also discuss the distinction between personal redemption and forgiveness for characters.

In Episode 153, hosts Alyce and Laura are* going to the MAUL later, thank you for asking. Laura whips out the good sh-t for Happy Hour We made a Sally Ride error and every woman in STEM that left an indelible mark on the world rolled over in their grave… including Sally Ride, probably.  The Mandalorian and Grogu is coming out in May, a few weeks after May the Fourth. You'd think that would be a good marketing tie in, yeah? Nope, Star Wars Day is all about Return of the Jedi this year for some reason. Maul about Maul! He's everywhere! In the news! On Disney+! Probably other places! Maul - Shadow Lord is getting a second season. Plus, Filoni talks Maul with Esquire. Protip: there's a great TLDR on SWNN.

(patting ourselves on the back for that one) Stephen Soderbergh reacts to Lucasfilm's pass on his Ben Solo-centric film (BKMAG via Nerdist) In book news, Star Wars' new horror offering and, on the opposite end, an adult coloring book!

A heist on a crime-syndicate planet, a “Duel of the Fates” needle drop that hasn't been heard since The Phantom Menace, and a Sith lord who barely has to break a sweat... Maul is off to a hell of a start. Matthew and Alex welcome TruStory FM co-owner Pete Wright to break down the first two episodes of the new animated series, set in the lawless underworld of Janix at the dawn of the Empire.The conversation covers the Blade Runner-meets-cop-noir world-building, the “sandwich prequel” problem of writing a character whose beginning and end we already know, and the big question: can Maul sustain eight episodes as a title character? Matthew makes the case that Maul is a Cassandra figure — he sees Palpatine's plan clearly and completely, but his methods mean no one will listen to him. Meanwhile, Pete brings a sharp outside perspective on what the show owes to Andor's willingness to let crime politics breathe.There's also spirited debate over Devin Izara and her Jedi master, whether the show's hallway fight scene has earned its place in a now-crowded genre, and where Crimson Dawn fits into Maul's long game — because Palpatine, as it turns out, is playing Candyland, and the outcome was never really in doubt.Star Wars Generations**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Star Wars Generations, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

(00:00:08)

Bryan Young and Holly Frey talked about how George Lucas's original ideas spawn so much of modern Star Wars, up to and including the new show, "Maul: Shadow Lord." They talk about how no idea in the history of Lucasfilm seems to go unused and how far back that philosophy has reached.

In Episode 152, hosts Alyce and Laura learn* valuable lessons about 90s Nickelodeon theme songs and where the f-ck Tosche Station is! If there is one thing you take away from this podcast, it's that you are supposed to watch all 39 hours of Daredevil before you watch Born Again.  Will Alyce's prediction/dream that Taylor Swift be cast as the voice of Grogu ever come true? Here's an update… (Gizmodo via Variety) Remember in our last episode when we asked, hey whatever happened to that one trilogy? From our lips to Penguin Random House's ears. Check out this article and the official synopsis for Reign of the Empire: Edge of the Abyss here. What TIME is it? Show time (show time), show time (show time)! Thanks, 2016 Bruno Mars. Speaking of time, they make mid-bougie Mando watches for men and not women. Some poor schmuck had to drill a bar into the deepest depths of the earth for our boy Adam Driver (via SWNN) Usually we regret asking for a man to mansplain something to us, but we kinda needed someone to explain Smart Bricks to us. Fortunately GamingBible was on it.  Star Wars dropped the episode titles for Maul, but they did it on icky twitter, so here's a link to Star Wars News Net instead. You're welcome.  Out with the new, in the with old trilogy: Disneyland's Oga's gets a refresh (via WDW News Today) Twitter: @forcetoastpod | @sLeiaAllDay | @ShutUp_Laura Instagram: @forcetoastpod Bluesky: forcetoastpod.bsky.social Email: forcetoastpod@gmail.com Website: forcetoastpod.com *This podcast contains a sh!t ton of profanity and boozin.

It is Intergalactic Women's Day and Holly Frey and Bryan Young decided to talk about 10 of their favorite women from the Star Wars galaxy. Whether they're the bravest, most courageous, most interesting, or just plain most fun, they talk about why they made this list in no particular order.

We open on the Chimera f--kin'. In Episode 151, hosts Alyce and Laura enjoy* one last jaunt to Peridea, complete with TOE Fighters, Rebels Season 1 Ezra and Grand Admiral Cock a Doodle Blue! Let's catch up with Alyce's Marvel catch up. Catch up Inception! Speaking of, should we add a Marvel segment to our show when Daredevil comes back? What do we call it? Marvel Manor? Marvel, May I? Marvel Mountain Schlong, perhaps… Happy Belated Rebels Remembered Day to all who celebrated last week! A preview of the forthcoming May issue of Empire Magazine, featuring Mando and the BABAY Today's lesson in filmmaking no one asked for: the black and white clappy thing used on film sets Prediction: you won't be able to swing a light saber without hitting someone dressed as Rotta the Hutt at the next Star Wars Celebration Bae? Alyce's Bae? Obi-Wan? O-Bae-Wan? He's gonna be in Ahsoka season 2? Maybe? (via Bespin Bulletin) Step aside, Ewan. There's a new Bae in town! Ryan Gosling has a rule about franchises. His rule is confusing. But it's his world and we're just living in it. Did “Are You Afraid of the Dark” traumatize Millennials in childhood? Revisit 90s Nickelodeon with us! Maul has to be faster and more intense in the upcoming animated series. Also apparently he's going to be questioning everything he believed about the Jedi. Not about Obi-Wan though, he definitely still hates that b-tch. Recap on Tap: Our Ahsoka Again segment comes to an end as we re-watch the Season 1 finale, Part 8: The Jedi, The Witch, and the Warlord. Climb aboard the mountain where Morgan finally reveals her true badassery, Daniel aka Sabine's Force powers show up when it really counts, Ezra makes a big leap and trooper zombies are powerless without their heads! We hope you've enjoyed the ride. Now enjoy the 9- to 10-month (or more) wait for Season 2.   Twitter: @forcetoastpod | @sLeiaAllDay | @ShutUp_Laura Instagram: @forcetoastpod Bluesky: forcetoastpod.bsky.social Email: forcetoastpod@gmail.com Website: forcetoastpod.com *This podcast contains a sh!t ton of profanity and boozin.

Holly Frey and Bryan Young talked about the new trailer for Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu as well as new tidbits of information from Star Wars: Maul: Shadow Lord. Then Holly gave details about the Star Wars holiday Hutt Taungs-day and they spoke of more changes coming to the Star Wars areas of Disney theme parks.

In Episode 150, hosts Alyce and Laura celebrate* the 7th Avernersary of Force Toast (and The Mandalorian) but mostly Force Toast. Reminiscing on 7 years of watching and reading Star Wars, doing trivs and learning mad skills, like how to do Star Wars Celebration, how to podcast and how to not drink too much when podcasting. Important life lessons! What do Sam Elliott, sh-tty beer and football have in common? Star Wars at the Super Bowl! Mystifying, or just a small (expensive) part of a grander marketing plan? (article referenced) Speaking of Mando - we call him Mandu now - a new MandUlorian & Grogu trailer is here! Let's discuss!  The article that sparked a million click bait parasites did not actually say what you think it said. Calm down.  We did the math. Jon Favreau isn't going anywhere. Take that, click bait.  Remember Rogue Squadron? The question of whether it will ever come to fruition remains… a question. (via Parade) RIP Admiral Piett actor Kenneth Colley. Sorry DailyMail and the internet made it weird.  Recap on Tap gets dreamy and maddening in Part 7 of Ahsoka: Dreams and Madness! Hera strikes back, Baylan is Batman now, Ahsoka is scary, Morgan does not Yes And any of this, and Every. Single. Reunion on this show is underwhelming.  Thanks for being one of our 80k+ downloads! From Day 1 to Day 2,555 - however long you've been listening to our rambling, we really, really, really appreciate you!
