#41 Michael Goebel: Nationalism in Global History and Today

As one of the most consequential concepts in modern history, nationalism has reordered, and wrought havoc on, the world: In this episode of #AskDifferent, Michael Goebel, Einstein Professor of Global History at Freie Universität Berlin, explores the deep roots and global reach of nationalism. He explains why the rise of nationalism today isn't a contradiction to globalization but rather an integral part of it. In conversation with moderator Doris Hellpoldt, Goebel delves into the "chicken and egg" conundrum, asking whether the nation creates the state or vice versa, and wonders whether there is a viable alternative to the traditional nation-state model in the modern world.___#AskDifferent, the Einstein Foundation's podcast series, offers a unique behind-the-scenes opportunity to learn more about the pioneering minds affiliated with and funded by the Foundation, and to find out how their outstanding careers were shaped both by chance and circumstance. What is it that drives them to ask differently, to perpetually ask new questions, and explore the world in all its detail?Einstein Foundation Berlin Web: https://www.einsteinfoundation.de/en/

Every now and again, and more often than you'd think, the work of mathematics overlaps with the world of theatre and film. This happened again recently when the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI) organised a staging of the play Diving into math with Emmy Noether. Noether was a pure mathematician whose results made waves far beyond her field. Albert Einstein called her a "creative mathematical genius".  The play is produced by Portrait Theater Vienna in co-operation with Freie Universität Berlin, directed by Sandra Schueddekopf, and features Anita Zieher as Emmy Noether. It was put on as part of the Modern History of Mathematics research programme that is currently taking place at the INI and the Inclusivity in the Mathematical Sciences workshop that was organised by the Newton Gateway to Mathematics in March 2025. In this episode of Maths on the move we talk to historian of mathematics David E. Rowe, who provided scientific advice for the play, about the life and work of Emmy Noether, and about what it's like putting mathematics on stage. You might also want to read our article Emmy Noether: A creative mathematical genius. This content was produced as part of our collaborations with the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI) and the Newton Gateway to Mathematics. The INI is an international research centre and our neighbour here on the University of Cambridge's maths campus.

En este episodio, Sandro Brito, de la Cooperativa Cráter Invertido en Ciudad de México, nos introduce a la obra del marxista ecuatoriano Bolívar Echeverría y su biografía heterodoxa y fascinante. Como nos comenta Sandro, Echeverría, influenciado por el existencialismo de Unamuno, comenzó a interesarse en Sartre y Heidegger. Además, formó parte del grupo artístico Cortadores de Cabezas. En 1961, viajó a Friburgo con la intención de conocer a Heidegger, pero este lo rechazó por no saber alemán. Entonces se trasladó a Berlín, donde acabó en la Freie Universität, donde conoció a Rudi Dutschke. En esos años, Berlín era un hervidero radical donde las lecturas del marxismo subterráneo de Korsch y Lukács se combinaban con talleres de lectura de El capital fuera de la universidad. Era la época de Dieter Kunzelmann, Kommune 1, Spur, Hans-Jürgen Krahl, Subversive Aktion y su publicación Anschlag. En 1968, Echeverría llegó a Ciudad de México, un lugar de exilio para muchos radicales marxistas. En esos años, el marxismo en América Latina vivía un gran auge, con figuras como Óscar del Barco y José Aricó en Córdoba, Argentina. También destacaban casas editoriales como Siglo XXI, Casa de las Américas, Pensamiento Crítico, Biblioteca del Pensamiento Socialista y la Fundación Era. En 1974, comenzó la publicación de Cuadernos Políticos, donde Echeverría publicó sus primeros textos. Hablamos también de su concepción de la enajenación y su interpretación del fetichismo de la mercancía, el trabajo y el valor de uso, y cómo estos pueden ser comprendidos más allá del capital. Acabamos con su concepción de la modernidad y lo que el llama ethos barroco. Esta conversación tiene como trasfondo sonoro mezclas de Sandro, quien también es DJ como Emiliano Dietzgen.

In this conversation, Keltie Maguire speaks with lifespan psychologist and post-doctoral researcher, Dr. Laura Buchinger, about her latest research on how parents versus childfree people fare in terms of well-being, mental health, and overall life satisfaction. Hear them discuss: What existing research tells us about how parents and non-parents fare at different stages of life and across various aspects of well-being. The gender differences in experiences of loneliness and social connections. Whether or not childfree people are lonelier than parents. How societal expectations about parenthood influence life decisions and experiences. How cultural perspectives that shape attitudes toward having children, and the shifting views of younger generations regarding the childfree choice. About Laura: Laura Buchinger is a lifespan psychologist exploring how personality, motivation, health, and well-being evolve throughout life. After earning an undergraduate degree from Chemnitz University of Technology in 2013, she completed a master's degree in Clinical Psychology at Freie Universität Berlin in 2016. Laura began her career as an organizational psychologist and consultant, focusing on occupational health and safety, before transitioning back to academia just before the pandemic. In 2023, she earned a PhD in Psychology from Freie Universität Berlin with a thesis titled "Life Goals Across Adulthood and Old Age: Associations With Personality and Well-Being." Laura is now a post-doctoral researcher in developmental psychology at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

Nicola Verderame"Il demone in noi"Sabahattin AliCarbonio Editorewww.carbonioeditore.itIstanbul, anni Trenta. Sul traghetto che attraversa il Bosforo, Ömer, giovane intellettuale, incontra Macide, studentessa di pianoforte al conservatorio, e se ne innamora all'istante. Una notte Macide decide di fuggire dalla casa dei parenti che la ospitano e Ömer la accoglie nella pensione dove vive, presentandola a tutti come sua moglie e introducendola nella sua cerchia di amici bohémien. Ma presto le ristrettezze economiche segnano il loro rapporto, mentre Ömer si convince sempre di più che il suo male di vivere sia colpa di un demone interiore…Sabahattin Ali ritrae con estrema finezza il profondo dissidio di Ömer, incapace di prendere in mano la propria vita, contrapposto alla figura di Macide, donna volitiva ed emancipata, sullo sfondo della Istanbul inquieta degli anni della Repubblica di Atatürk.Tradotto per la prima volta in italiano, un classico moderno della letteratura turca: un romanzo delicato e ammaliante che a quasi un secolo dalla sua pubblicazione si rivela ancora di sorprendente attualità.Sabahattin Ali (1907-1948) è uno degli autori turchi più letti e amati del Novecento. Arrestato più volte per propaganda comunista e vilipendio alla figura di Atatürk, a cavallo tra gli anni Trenta e Quaranta scrisse cinque raccolte di racconti, poesie, un dramma e tre romanzi: Yusuf di Kuyucak (1937), Il demone in noi (1940) e Madonna col cappotto di pelliccia (1943), che è un vero e proprio libro di culto in Turchia. Morì assassinato nel 1948 al confine con la Bulgaria mentre cercava di fuggire in Europa.Nicola Verderame ha insegnato Lingua turca all'università del Salento e Filologia turca presso l'università “L'Orientale” di Napoli, dove si è laureato in Studi Islamici. Ha conseguito un Research Master in Turkish Studies all'università di Leiden e il dottorato in Storia contemporanea alla Freie Universität Berlin.

Giulio Busi"Giovanni. Il discepolo che Gesù amava"Mondadori Editorewww.mondadori.itIl Vangelo di Giovanni è il più colto dei Vangeli ma anche il meno affidabile dal punto di vista storico. È questa un'opinione antica, diffusa, tenace. Ed è però un'opinione profondamente falsa.Al di là degli stereotipi che durano da circa due millenni, Giulio Busi porta alla luce un altro Giovanni: un evangelista calato nella vita di Gerusalemme, che conosce come le proprie tasche i meandri della città santa, è esperto delle usanze e delle consuetudini ebraiche, e possiede i dettagli minuti della giurisprudenza d'Israele.Giovanni non è solo fonte storica di prim'ordine. È fuoco mistico, e polemica intransigente. Il suo Vangelo ruota attorno al «discepolo che Gesù amava», presentato come testimone oculare dei momenti salienti della vita, morte e resurrezione di Gesù. È lui, Giovanni, questo discepolo senza nome?Per scoprirlo, occorre spostarsi dalla Terra d'Israele in Asia Minore, a Efeso, una metropoli opulenta di traffici, che pullula di idee e di fermenti. Qui risiede «l'Anziano», come lo chiamano i fedeli, che si raccolgono per sentirlo parlare e ne rimangono ammaliati. Solo lui, infatti, sa raccontare in quel modo, con quel tono. Perché, tra i vecchi della comunità, solo lui ha conosciuto e toccato con mano Gesù.Ora Gerusalemme è lontana, scomparsa oltre il mare, le colline. Affondata tra i lutti. Il Tempio distrutto, i sacerdoti dispersi, il culto interrotto. Anche Giovanni se n'è andato, ha lasciato la città santa. Ma i ricordi, quelli non se ne vanno facilmente. È come se Gesù gli fosse ancora accanto e i suoi occhi inimitabili continuassero a fissarlo con severità e, insieme, con dolcezza.Austero e mansueto nello stesso sguardo, implacabile e amoroso in un'unica parola, così era il Maestro. E così Giovanni cerca di descriverlo, con la voce che un po' gli trema, per la vecchiaia e per l'emozione. Dai suoi ricordi, dalle sue esperienze e dalla sua straordinaria creatività teologica nasce il Vangelo che, più di ogni altro, apre la strada verso il mistero di Gesù.Giulio Busi è professore ordinario alla Freie Universität di Berlino e presidente della Fondazione Palazzo Bondoni Pastorio. Ha scritto di mistica ebraica, di storia rinascimentale, della filosofia di Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. Collaboratore di lungo corso delle pagine culturali del «Sole – 24 Ore», ha uno stile letterario inconfondibile, incalzante e, al tempo stesso, documentatissimo.

Just in time for NATIONAL READ A BOOK DAY - September 6, teen-author Michael Hoffen, has been spending HIS TIME going back some 4,000 years. Michael worked for three-and-a-half years translating hieroglyphics to modern-day prose. Yet only to discover, what people want for their children today, is very much the same as even some 4,000 years ago! He is the youngest-ever recipient of the annual Emerson Prize. BE A SCRIBE Working For A Better Life In Ancient Egypt by Michael Hoffen Michael Hoffen and the protagonist in his new book are both teenagers, but there's quite an age gap between them—about 4,000 years. In Hoffen's new book, BE A SCRIBE: Working For a Better Life in Ancient Egypt (Callaway Children's Classics, April 9, 2024), he brings to life the story of a young Egyptian, Pepi, whose father, Kheti, is intent on getting his son a job in the royal court. Hoffen, who has been translating ancient texts since middle school, became fascinated by a 4,000-year-old or so piece of literature from ancient Egypt's Middle Kingdom known as The Instruction of Khety, or “The Satire of the Trades.” Under the guidance and collaboration of his two co-authors, Egyptologists Christian Casey and Jen Thum, Hoffen spent three-and-a-half years translating hieroglyphics to modern-day prose and gathering images to tell the story of Kheti and Pepi. Beyond the words, which reveal a wit that transcends 4,000 years, ancient Egypt comes to life with more than 100 beautiful images of vibrant and colorful ancient Egyptian artifacts, paintings, graphics and illustrations that are featured throughout the book. This young author, a scribe himself, has given us a tale that helps us to see just how little the human condition has changed in thousands of years. Parents still want the best for their children and teenagers face important decisions as they set out on their career path. For younger readers, the book serves as an inspiration for their own journey toward gaining greater knowledge, exercising intellectual curiosity and, perhaps, finding their own career paths. Michael Hoffen is the youngest-ever recipient of the annual Emerson Prize, awarded by the Concord Review for outstanding promise in history. While still in middle school, he was introduced to the joys of translating ancient texts and never looked back. During the COVID pandemic, Michael embarked on an ambitious project to bring ancient Egyptian literature to life outside the classroom. Be A Scribe! is Michael's first book in a series. When not chasing down new stories to translate or write, Michael enjoys biking, swimming, and rock climbing. He lives with his family in New York. Dr. Christian Casey is an Egyptologist who specializes in the study of ancient Egyptian languages. He obtained his PhD in Egyptology from Brown University in 2020 and now works as a researcher at Freie Universität Berlin. He is especially interested in sharing the exciting world of ancient Egypt with young people and other interested members of the public. Dr. Jen Thum is an Egyptologist, educator, and curator at the Harvard Art Museums. She studied Egyptology and archaeology at the University of Oxford and Brown University. Jen's work celebrates the learning potential of ancient material culture, especially across disciplines. She teaches at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, writes and leads workshops about learning with art and artifacts, and is the lead editor of Teaching Ancient Egypt in Museums: Pedagogies in Practice. Jen conceived of Be A Scribe! after recognizing the need for accessible ancient Egyptian primary sources for young learners.

To hear the full interview, please visit my Patreon page; you could consider joining to have access to more content like this, or have the option for a one-time purchase of the full episode (visit the 'shop' link for more information about pricing).PROGRAM NOTES (FULL EPISODE): My guest this month is Dr. Aaron French. Aaron received his doctorate in the study of religion, including an emphasis in science and technology studies, from the University of California, Davis. His monograph Max Weber, Rudolf Steiner, and Modern Western Esotericism: A Transcultural Approach will be published by Routledge in late 2024 in the “Asia, Europe, and Global Connections: Culture, History, and Trans-Area Studies“ book series. Aaron has published numerous peer-reviewed articles in academic journals and regularly gives lectures and presentations at international conferences. He currently teaches in the international Religious Studies Masters program at the University of Erfurt in Germany and works as a postdoctoral researcher at the Freie Universität Berlin.In our conversation, Aaron talks about new areas of research that he's been exploring regarding the field of ufology, and its connections with esotericism, technology and religion. He's currently editing a forthcoming interdisciplinary academic collaborative work about this, called Religion and the UFO Phenomenon: Methodological Challenges, that asks the questions, “how best should scholars of the humanities and social sciences approach the UFO phenomenon as an object of study? Why are otherworldly experiences intertwined with new forms of religiosity?”Aaron also gives a re-cap of the recent developments in the U.S. with regard to the UAP, or Unidentified Arial Phenomena, in Senate hearings and discusses the issues surrounding disclosure, with the largely failed attempt to establish a committee that would force the US government to declassify and release all information on UFOs. He then moves on to discuss his own developing research into the connections between ufology and esotericism, and how religion is being transformed, with some in academia speaking now of a new religiosity forming around these experiences. Aaron's work is looking at this modern esotericism that keeps popping up in this new ‘hybrid technoscientific religiosity' as he terms it. Ideas of evolution and training for humans who are interested in future realities in space are also discussed in terms of ritual initiation or Hero's Journey that is likened to the Jedi training of the Star Wars story.In closing, we also explore occulture and the cultural impact on all of this a bit, specifically how these ideas are played out in shows like X-Files and of course, my favorite, Twin Peaks.NOTE: Around the 1 hour 13 minute mark, I mistakenly say "accelerators" instead of "accumulators" when talking about Wilhelm Reich's orgone accumulators. My apologies.Alongside this work, Aaron has recently co-edited the volume Modernity and the Construction of Sacred Space, which is available in open access on the De Gruyter website. You can find his latest article on Rudolf Steiner "Esotericism against Capitalism? Rudolf Steiner's Reform Pedagogy as a Site of Resistance" in volume 14 (no. 2) of the journal Approaching Religion, which is also published open access.Rejected Religion | Illuminating the Obscure | PatreonTo access my previous discussion with Aaron about UFOs, Steiner and Hynek PLUS more relevant links to the topic, please follow these links:https://rejected-religion-introductory-episode-1-what-do-i-mean-by.simplecast.com/episodes/rr-podcast-e24-p1-dr-aaron-french-us-from-the-future-magic-technology-rosicrucians-steiner-new-age-ufoshttps://rejected-religion-introductory-episode-1-what-do-i-mean-by.simplecast.com/episodes/rr-pod-e24-p2-dr-aaron-french-us-from-the-future-magic-technology-rosicrucians-steiner-new-age-ufosDr. Aaron French(99+) Aaron French | Universität Erfurt - Academia.eduAaron J.

In many areas of life – both personal and professional – the need to envision potential futures and establish how to get there is crucial. Indeed, some would argue that the ability to envision potential futures is part of what defines us as human beings. And while there are well established approaches such as scenario planning and forecasting, a recent paper in journal Futures outlines a promising new approach, informed by literature and the great literary works. To discuss this, I am delighted to be joined on the Brain for Business podcast by Professor Rebecca Braun. Professor Rebecca Braun is the Executive Dean of College of Arts, Social Sciences & Celtic Studies at the University of Galway. Prior to joining the University of Galway in 2021, Rebecca was Professor of Modern Languages & Creative Futures at Lancaster University in the UK, where she was also Co-Director of the Institute for Social Futures from 2017-2020.

The tremendous velocity of history that Ukraine has experienced since independence to the Maidan revolution to the catastrophic war brought on by Russia's aggression often tends to be sold and told in neatly packaged narratives to the West - a heroic tale of a plucky democracy breaking from from the yoke of an authoritarian past. But the reality, as always, is much more nuanced, complex, and messy. This week we are pleased to feature an interview with Volodymyr Ishchenko, the author of the fascinating collection of essays, "Towards the Abyss: Ukraine from Maidan to War." Ishchenko, a sociologist based at Berlin's Freie Universität, offers a critical examination of Ukraine's trajectory post-Maidan revolution and asks probing, intimate questions about moral leadership and the future political model that the people of this nation at war are still seeking and negotiating. While making no excuses for Russia's brutality in the war, in this conversation with Robert Amsterdam, Ishchenko brings criticism to bear on the leadership from the left-leaning school of thought, examining the costs of ignoring history, misrepresenting identities, and other factors which have fed the growth of nationalism in Ukraine at the cost of other sectors of the society.

Art historian and author of “What is 'Islamic' Art?: Between Religion and Perception”, Wendy Shaw talks to us about whether art can truly be "Islamic" or "theological", and if so, what that means. We talk about the complex ways in which museums interact with the broader economies and what this means for decolonizing the field of art history, and her roundabout journey into this field all the way from biochemistry.Wendy Shaw is an art historian and professor of the Art History of Islamic Cultures at the Freie Universität berlin. Her book "What is 'Islamic' Art?: Between Religion and Perception" explores the perceptions of arts, including painting, music and geometry through the discursive sphere of historical Islam including the Qur'an, Hadith, Sufism, ancient philosophy, and poetry. By emphasizing the experience of reception over the context of production, Shaw creates a new approach not only to Islam and its arts, but also as a decolonizing model for global approaches to art history.THIS SERIES IS PART OF THE AFIKRA PODCAST NETWORKThe afikra Podcast is our flagship series featuring experts from academia, art, media and beyond who are helping document and/or shape the histories and cultures of the Arab world through their ‎work.

Fighting for the River: Gender, Body, and Agency in Environmental Struggles (U California Press, 2023) portrays women's intimate, embodied relationships with river waters and explores how those relationships embolden local communities' resistance to private run-of-the-river hydroelectric power plants in Turkey. Building on extensive ethnographic research, Özge Yaka develops a body-centered, phenomenological approach to women's environmental activism and combines it with a relational ontological perspective. In this way, the book pushes beyond the "natural resources" frame to demonstrate how our corporeal connection to nonhuman entities is constitutive of our more-than-human lifeworld. Fighting for the River takes the human body as a starting point to explore the connection between lived experience and nonhuman environments, treating bodily senses and affects as the media of more-than-human connectivity and political agency. Analyzing local environmental struggles as struggles for coexistence, Yaka frames human-nonhuman relationality as a matter of socio-ecological justice. Özge Yaka is Senior Researcher at the Institute of Geographical Sciences, Freie Universität Berlin.

Parks M. Coble's book The Collapse of Nationalist China: How Chiang Kai-shek Lost China's Civil War (Cambridge UP, 2023) revisits one of the most stunning political collapses of the twentieth century. When Japan surrendered in September 1945, Chiang Kai-shek seemed triumphant—one of the Big Four Allied leaders of the war and head of a government firmly allied with the United States. Yet less than four years later he would be forced into a humiliating exile in Taiwan. It has long been recognized that hyperinflation was a critical factor in this collapse. As revenues plummeted during the war against Japan, Chiang's government simply printed currency to cover its debts resulting in rapid inflation. When World War II ended it was assumed that with eastern China returned, ports opened, and financial support from the U.S. assured, the currency could be stabilized. But in fact, Chiang was obsessed with defeating the communists and the printing presses accelerated the production of banknotes which rapidly lost value. Why didn't the nationalist government tackle the issue of hyperinflation before it was too late? The fundamental flaw of the Chiang government was that he centralized all authority in his own hands and established overlapping and competing agencies. This approach fostered bureaucratic infighting which he alone could resolve. In the financial realm the competing elements were within his wife's family, her brother T. V. Soong (Song Ziwen) and brother-in-law H. H Kung (Kong Xiangxi). The new archival records reveal a bitter and often very petty rivalry between the two men that started in the 1930s and continued even after they were in exile in the United States after 1949. The tragedy for China was that both men ultimately bent to Chiang's wishes to provide money and suppressed any effort to alter the policy. T. V. Soong especially recognized the dangers of the inflationary policy, but his ambition and jealousy of his brother-in-law led him to cave when under pressure to produce more currency. Records in the Hoover Archives show how little understanding Chiang had of finance and how little interest he had dealing with it. The structure of the Chiang government meant that almost nothing could be done without sustained attention from the leader. Thus in 1947 when the collapse of the fabi (legal tender) currency was imminent, Chiang waited a year before authorizing a replacement currency, the disastrous gold yuan. My study suggests that the most important factor in the collapse of the Chiang government was its organization as an authoritarian system designed for control but ineffective at getting things done. Parks M. Coble is the James L. Sellers Professor of History at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Dong Wang is collection editor of Asian Studies books at Lived Places Publishing (New York & the UK), H-Diplo review editor, incoming visiting fellow at Freie Universität Berlin, research associate at Harvard Fairbank Center (since 2002), a member of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, director of the Wellington Koo Institute for Modern China in World History (Germany & USA), and an elected Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

Today I talked to Don J. Wyatt about his book Slavery in East Asia (Cambridge UP, 2022). In premodern China, Korea, Japan, and Vietnam, just as in the far less culturally cohesive countries composing the West of the Middle Ages, enslavement was an assumed condition of servitude warranting little examination, as the power and profits it afforded to the slaver made it a convention pursued unreflectively. Slavery in medieval East Asia shared with the West the commonplace assumption that nearly all humans were potential chattel, that once they had become owned beings, they could then be either sold or inherited. Yet, despite being representative of perhaps the most universalizable human practice of that age, slavery in medieval East Asia was also endowed with its own distinctive traits and traditions. Our awareness of these features of distinction contributes immeasurably to a more nuanced understanding of slavery as the ubiquitous and openly practiced institution that it once was and the now illicit and surreptitious one that it intractably remains. Don J. Wyatt (Ph.D. Harvard University) is the John M. McCardell, Jr. Distinguished Professor at Middlebury College, in Middlebury, Vermont, USA, where he has taught history and philosophy since 1986. He specializes in the intellectual history of China, with research interests most currently focused on the intersections between identity and violence and the nexuses between ethnicity and slavery.  Dong Wang is collection editor of Asian Studies books at Lived Places Publishing (New York & the UK), H-Diplo review editor, incoming visiting fellow at Freie Universität Berlin, research associate at Harvard Fairbank Center (since 2002), a member of the Royal Institute of International Affairs, director of the Wellington Koo Institute for Modern China in World History (Germany & USA), and an elected Fellow of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland.
