Robert the Bruce may be lauded as a Scottish national hero, a noble warrior who fended off the English and claimed a spectacular victory at the battle of Bannockburn. But how to true to life is this glowing image? This year marks the 750th anniversary of Robert's birth, and Emily Briffett spoke to Fiona Watson to reveal how Robert's path to the throne was more ruthless and murky that it may initially seem.

Según el último censo, en la Amazonia brasileña viven 868.000 indígenas. Los yanomami son más de 30.000. Hasta 1940 no se produjo su primer contacto con foraneos pero las políticas de los diferentes gobiernos y la impunidad con la que los buscadores de oro y las empresas madereras trabajan en la Amazonia deja sin un lugar para vivir a casi un millón de personas solo en Brasil. Hablamos con Fiona Watson, directora de investigacion y campañas de Survival; Ehuana Yaira Yanomami, artista, activista e investigadora yanomami y Virgílio Afonso da Silva, profesor de Derecho Constitucional en la universidad de Sao Paulo.Escuchar audio

​​In this episode of Brazil Unfiltered, James Naylor Green speaks with Fiona Watson. Fiona is Research and Advocacy Director at Survival International, the global movement for tribal peoples' rights. She has been with Survival since 1990 and worked on many campaigns for Indigenous peoples' rights, notably with the Yanomami, Guarani, and Awá in Brazil. She has visited many Indigenous communities in South America and is a specialist on uncontacted tribes in the Amazon. She carried out fieldwork with a Quechua Indigenous community in the Peruvian Andes for her Masters degree and lived in the Brazilian Amazon for two years in the 1980s.Brazil is going through turbulent times. There's never been a more important moment to understand Brazil's politics, society, and culture. To go beyond the headlines, and to ask questions that aren't easy to answer. 'Brazil Unfiltered,' does just that. This podcast is hosted by James N. Green, Professor of Brazilian History and Culture at Brown University and the National Co-Coordinator of the U.S. Network for Democracy in Brazil.Brazil Unfiltered is part of the Democracy Observatory, supported by the Washington Brazil Office, and produced by Camarada Productions.➡️ https://www.braziloffice.org/en/observatory#activities

Last week, the government of Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva kicked off a widespread operation to stop illegal mining on Yanomami Indigenous territory.Videos of the operation have gone viral over social media over the last week. In one, officers from Brazil's environmental protection agency IBAMA approach a boat of illegal miners trying to motor into the area. The officers wear bulletproof vests over tan and camouflage uniforms. Their guns are raised.“Stop,” they yell. “Stop. Turn around now.”The officers pull alongside the boat. "Get your hands on your heads,” they yell. “You're going to come with us.”The miners comply without a word. There are eight of them in the boat that is packed with bags and supplies.Since the operation kicked off, IBAMA officers have found and destroyed a plane, a helicopter and other heavy machinery.In a press conference last week, Justice Minister Flavio Dino said they were confiscating and destroying equipment so that it can't be reused in illegal activities and those people who refuse to leave may be arrested.Removing 20,000 illegal miners is not an easy task. Yanomami territory along Brazil's northern border is remote and huge — roughly two times the size of Switzerland. Wildcat gold mining on Yanomami territory increased 300% in the last four years under ex-president Jair Bolsonaro.Last week, a delegation of Yanomami leaders traveled to the US to raise further attention to their cause.“They want to steal our land and destroy our nature, our water,” Leader Davi Kopenawa told the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres at the opening of a Yanomami photography exhibit in New York. "They are bringing disease. That's why we're here."Fiona Watson traveled with the delegation in the United States. She's worked with the Yanomami for decades, and she's the director of research and advocacy at the London-based NGO Survival International."We had political meetings in Washington with the Organization of American States, with the State Department, USAID and various Congress people, and I think that was really important,” she said.“Because, Lula met with Biden last Friday, and it really put the Yanomami crisis into the spotlight.”The news reports and images of starving Yanomami children have shocked the world in recent weeks. At least 570 Yanomami children are reported to have died from malnutrition and curable diseases under the Bolsonaro government. Dozens more have been flown to hospitals in recent days. The communities are battling malaria, mercury poisoning from the wildcat gold mines, hunger and constant threats from the miners who are backed by criminal groups.President Lula visited the region on Jan. 20, where he promised to turn the tide.“I am here to say that we are going to treat our Indigenous peoples as first-class human beings. Not like fourth or fifth-class people,” he said. "What I have seen here is inhumane.”Lula has declared a humanitarian crisis for Yanomami territory.The Brazilian military has been delivering aid, food and supplies to Yanomami villages.Yanomami leaders blame former President Jair Bolsonaro for empowering illegal miners, gutting Indigenous and environmental protection agencies and ignoring their pleas for help."Many teams came from Bolsonaro's government to see our reality,” Junior Hekurari, the president of the Yanomami Health Council, told the Brazilian news outlet Brasil de Fato. "I took them around and showed them first hand, but unfortunately they just turned their backs or closed their ears."Brazil's Supreme Court has called for an investigation into allegations of genocide by the Bolsonaro government against the Yanomami people.But in an interview last week, Bolsonaro's former environment minister Ricardo Salles denied any wrongdoing by the former president."The responsibility for that situation is in the hands of all of Brazilian society,” he said. "All of Brazilian society has ignored the situation for the Indigenous in northern Brazil for a very long time."Salles further applauded Bolsonaro's attempts to legalize wildcat mining on Indigenous lands, which he said could have regulated the activity and its impact.Meanwhile, numerous videos shared online last week showed groups of miners voluntarily packing up and leaving their camps in Yanomami territory. "This is all very positive,” Fiona Watson said. "But what I fear, is that the intentions are there. They've hit the ground running. But time and time again, we've seen [this] in the past with the Yanomami and indeed other Indigenous territories. It's so easy for these illegal miners to go back and of course all the politicians and big economic interests behind something like the gold industry are still there.”Yanomami land is only one of numerous Indigenous territories that have been invaded by illegal miners in recent years. In other words, Indigenous leaders say, the government efforts are an important first step. But there is a long way to go.

Susan Morrison reckons you can't have a mediaeval Hollywood movie without knights in shining armour but wants to know when did the Norman knight come to Scotland and who was hiring him? Dr Fiona Watson has the answers and it's earlier than you might think. But if you wanted to refight those historic battles on your living room carpet, you'd need some toy soldiers. They've always had a topical side to them too, reflecting whatever conflict was going on at the time. The great age of the lead toy soldier covered the big conflicts of the 20th century and sparked controversy about war toys - did they cause war-mongering or were they good for your kid's mental development? Euan Loarridge of Glasgow University has been in the miniature trenches examining their campaigns. And we're kicking off an investigation into a witch-hunt in South Queensferry with Dr Ciaran Jones - more on that next time.

Brazilian Supreme Court judge Luis Barroso yesterday ordered the government of President Jair Bolsonaro to take immediate action to protect the lives of Indigenous populations.This came on the heels of a wave of violent attacks on a Yanomami Indigenous community in northern Brazil, highlighting the disastrous impact of illegal mining for gold in Brazil.Earlier this month, a video of illegal miners shooting at unarmed residents of a Yanomami village in northern Brazil went viral over Twitter.In the video, a group of Indigenous women line a hillside. Suddenly shots are fired from a speedboat rushing by on the river below. The women run, carrying babies and pulling along small children. They race off camera toward the trees.According to reports, the Yanomami responded, firing bows and arrows and shotguns, and wounding several of the attackers. Two children died by drowning during the confusion. Out of fear, many slept in the forest, catching pneumonia.Related: Brazil's fishing communities struggle to stay afloat during pandemic A boat transporting equipment for illegal mining operations in Yanomami Territory. Credit: Courtesy of Distribution  'We just want to live in peace'The community of Palimiú, where the Yanomami live, is on the banks of the Uraricoera River, along a major route used by illegal miners to reach their mining camps.Attacks like this have rippled on for days. On May 16, miners in 15 boats fired on the community and threw tear gas bombs.It’s part of a years-long trend. According to a recent report from the Hutukara Yanomami Association, mining on Yanomami territory grew by 30% in 2020, with nearly 6,000 acres of land deforested.Images of mining areas there show a wasteland of cleared forest and contaminated pits.Many blame the government of far-right president Jair Bolsonaro for encouraging illegal mining in the Amazon. When federal police investigated this month’s attack on the Yanomami village, they also came under fire and responded with their own shots.“We are very sad. We are angry. ... The miners are attacking us day and night. ... We just want to live in peace.”Tomóteo Palimitheri, village leader, as spoken to media outlet Amazônia Real“We are very sad. We are angry,” said village leader Tomóteo Palimitheri in a video shared by the media outlet Amazônia Real. He holds a spear and stands in front of a group of village warriors at the banks of the river. “The miners are attacking us day and night,” he said. We just want to live in peace.”Related: Plan to divert water to Brazil's Belo Monte dam threatens Indigenous communitiesRoughly 29,000 Yanomami and Yekauana people live on Yanomami land in northern Brazil — near the border with Venezuela — according to the Hutukara association, which represents more than 370 communities of the two groups there. It’s the largest Indigenous territory in the country. And it’s under attack.“In our territory there are more than 20,000 miners, today. This is a threat to the life of the forest, a threat to the lives of people who live in their villages, children, women and [the] elderly,” said Dário Kopenawa, vice president of the Hutukara association.“Mining kills. It murders people. It destroys the life of Mother Earth.”  Wildcat mining along the Uraricoera River, in Yanomami Territory. Credit: Courtesy of Distribution 'Wildcat mining'When The World spoke with Kopenawa last year, he had just met with Brazilian Vice President Hamilton Mourão to demand that the miners be removed from their territory.The Yanomami had launched a petition and an international campaign. The Supreme Court had even ordered the government to create a plan of action.Ten months later, little has been done.“The worrying thing that goes a lot with this wildcat mining — apart from all the social and environmental impacts on Indigenous peoples, like the way they bring in diseases like COVID-19 or malaria — is also the contamination that comes with it. There are very high levels of mercury pollution in many communities, and this is like a silent killer disease, because it’s not obvious." Fiona Watson, research director, Survival International“The worrying thing that goes a lot with this wildcat mining — apart from all the social and environmental impacts on Indigenous peoples, like the way they bring in diseases like COVID-19 or malaria — is also the contamination that comes with it. There are very high levels of mercury pollution in many communities, and this is like a silent killer disease, because it’s not obvious,” said Fiona Watson, research director of Survival International, a UK-based nongovernmental organization that works with Indigenous communities in Brazil. Environmental devastation caused by illegal mining operations in Yanomami land.  Credit: Courtesy of Distribution Demanding protection  Last week, the Yanomami, together with Brazil’s largest Indigenous organization, APIB, formally requested that the Supreme Court take action to force the Brazilian government to finally remove illegal miners from seven Indigenous territories, including the Yanomami.“The government has still not delivered concrete measures, and that is why we are again demanding that it is necessary to use all of the state apparatus, the environmental protection agency, police and everyone, to remove the miners,” said Samara Pataxó, an Indigenous legal adviser to the group, during a press conference held online. “It needs to happen now and not continue to drag the communities through all of this, as if the pandemic and the attacks were not happening and taking lives.”Community leaders say the situation is dire.“Enough of the genocide. Enough of the massacre. ... Enough of destroying our rivers and killing our forest. You need to leave. We are from here. We live here. We can’t leave and we won’t leave..."Alessandra Korap, leader of the Munduruku people“Enough of the genocide. Enough of the massacre,” said Alessandra Korap, a leader of the Munduruku people, whose land near the Tapajos river has also been devastated by illegal mining in recent years.  “Enough of destroying our rivers and killing our forest. You need to leave. We are from here. We live here. We can’t leave and we won’t leave. The Supreme Court needs to do something urgently.”Related: Indigenous land rights could help save Brazilian AmazonOn Monday, it did.Supreme Court judge Luis Barroso responded to the request from Native groups and ordered the federal government to “immediately adopt all the necessary measures to protect the life and security of the Indigenous populations living in Yanomami and Munduruku territories, amid the violent attacks and threats from the land invaders.” He also ordered the government to remove illegal miners from their lands within 90 days — 30 days to develop a plan and 60 days to implement it.“The presence of these invaders makes contagion from COVID-19 even worse, favored, also from the sickness of the population from malaria, the contamination from the mercury used in the mining, and other preexisting diseases,” Barroso wrote in his ruling.This came after a federal judge in Roraima state, last week, also ordered the removal of illegal miners from Yanomami land, and imposed a daily fine of $188,000 if Brazilian authorities fail to follow through with a plan to protect Indigenous communities there within 20 days.It is still unclear if and how the Bolsonaro government may respond, particularly as Bolsonaro has been actively working to open up protected land in the Amazon.“The Bolsonaro government has been destroying everything that had been consolidated in environmental policy in the last four decades."Suely Araújo, senior public policy specialist, Climate Observatory“The Bolsonaro government has been destroying everything that had been consolidated in environmental policy in the last four decades,” said Suely Araújo, a senior public policy specialist at the Climate Observatory and the former head of Brazil’s Environmental Protection Agency IBAMA. “Bolsonaro softened his speech at Biden’s climate summit, but he has no intention of changing the way he acts in relation to environmental protection,” said Araújo. “His world view is that economic growth demands deforestation and environmental destruction.” An illegal mining site in the Uraricoera River area of Yanomami land. Credit: Courtesy of Distribution Bolsonaro’s government is pushing several pieces of environmental legislation in Congress that, if approved, could be devastating for Indigenous communities. Among them is a bill that would authorize mining in Indigenous territories.“This is potentially a scenario of Armageddon, completely catastrophic, if that happens,” said Watson with Survival International. “The case of the Yanomami is a very good example of just how dangerous this mining is. It’s out of control in Yanomami territory. The government has let it get like that, particularly now under Bolsonaro, because he’s green-lighting it and he has voiced his support for these gold miners.”

Interview (COVID safe via modern technology) with Fiona Watson

Just over two weeks ago a group of 10 uncontacted tribal people were reported to have entered an indigenous community in Brazil’s western Amazon region. The sighting was reported by a local indigenous community and there was said to be men, women and children amongst the group.  While these sightings are incredible, it’s very alarming as these groups can be wiped out from common illnesses, due to lack of immunity.  Survival is an organisation raising awareness for indigenous people all over the world and their director Fiona Watson joins John Stanley to speak on this recent sighting.

It’s an incredibly useful and frequently used term by scholars, particularly when working in the realm of genre criticism. If you’re interested in learning more about the fantastic you can also check this post on Owlcation and then this excerpted PDF chapter on the fantastic. Henri-Georges Clouzot by Christopher Lloyd — In the brief searching I did, this seems to be the best introduction to criticism on Clouzot’s work. It’s a solid book, and anyone interested in learning more about the history of Clouzot’s film productions, his life, and a few different critical perspectives on his work should look into it. — Corrections — The cinematographer of The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) is Rudolph Maté. The cinematographer of Cat in the Hat (2003) is Emmanuel Lubezki.

Several people were killed in demonstrations along the Venezuelan border with Brazil in February. Among those killed were members of the Pemon Indians who attempted to block Venezuelan troops from entering their lands. The Pemon live in a wild and remote area near what may have been the site of the fictional story The Lost World by Arthur Conan-Doyle. The advocacy director of the tribal rights organization Survival International is Fiona Watson. She says the deaths of the lightly armed indigenous people has received almost no coverage in the world's media.

Helen Castor presents the programme that goes behind the history headlines. Scottish medievalist Fiona Watson and landscape historian Francis Pryor join Helen to discuss medieval mutilations in North Yorkshire, illegal whisky distilling in nineteenth century Scotland and the news that human beings may have evolved in Africa 100,000 years earlier than we thought. Tom Holland travels to North Yorkshire and the deserted medieval village at Wharram Percy which archaeologists now believe was the site of a gruesome practice of mutilation in the middle ages. Dr Simon Mays is a human skeletal biologist for Historic England and he noticed some odd marks on human bones recovered at Wharram Percy in the sixties. These bones were found in the middle of the deserted village - not in the churchyard. Simon thinks the marks on them were caused by severe blows made shortly after death - maybe to stop disruptive souls from tormenting villagers again. Whisky writer Rachel McCormack takes us to another remote and deserted location, the Cabrach between Aberdeen and Inverness. This was the centre of a well-developed, but illegal, whisky distilling industry in the eighteenth century. Although the remote location kept these stills hidden from the revenue men it also made them commercially unviable when whisky production was licensed in the 1820s. The ruined farmsteads in this otherwise untouched environment are the only clues to this tumultuous past. Dr Vanessa King and Dr Matthew Green show Helen a seedy and brutal history of a night out on London's South Bank, and Dr John McNabb responds to news that Homo Sapiens may be 100,000 older than we once thought.
