Nigerianske Chinua Achebe (1930–2013) hör till 1900-talets allra mest betydande författare. I genombrottsromanen Allting går sönder (Things fall apart) från 1958 gestaltade han den koloniserade erfarenheten på lika banbrytande som nyansrikt sätt. Boken är idag en klassiker och en av världslitteraturens mest lästa romaner. Vad är det som gör den så stark? Hur utvecklades Achebes författarskap efter debuten? Och hur väl passar hans pedagogiska men politiskt komplexa romaner dagens litteraturklimat? Bildningspodden introducerar en litterär gigant och närläser hans mest kända roman. Gäster i studion är litteraturvetarna Anna Jörngården Galili och Stefan Helgesson. Samtalsledare: Ruhi Tyson Klippning: Lars in de Betou Producent: Magnus Bremmer

Alla skeppsvrak har en gång gjort en storstilad första seglats. Sedan gick någonting fruktansvärt fel. Väl på havets botten börjar en ny historia – det sjunkna skeppets efterliv. Varför är vi så fascinerade av skeppsvrak? Har alla förlista skepp en gemensam nämnare?Vad har vraken fått symbolisera i kulturhistorien? Och bör vi alls bärga sjunkna skepp, om vi vill att de ska bevaras till framtiden?

For 20+ years, Shuly continues to bridge the gap between the Israeli and US business market by helping young entrepreneurs break into the US market. From the lessons she learned serving in the Israeli Defense Force to the founding story of UpWest, Shuly shares so many lessons for everyone -- New grads: treat your 20s as a “Decade of Discovery” - spend that time to find your passions and curiosities - it’s worth it down the road. Women: Shuly says “the tendency to doubt ourselves as women needs to just go away.” Everyone: Shuly reflects on the early stages of her career during the financial crisis to know that “we come out stronger from times like this.”
Shuly is the co-founding Partner at UpWest, a Silicon Valley seed fund investing in startups at the Israel-US technology junction. UpWest portfolio crossed $1B in VC funding and includes companies such as SentinelOne, HoneyBook, Stampli, CyCognito, Airobotics and more.
With the burst of new technologies in the 1870s, many inventors and visionaries believed that the transmission of moving images was just around the corner. As Doron Galili details in his book Seeing by Electricity: The Emergence of Television, 1878-1939 (Duke University Press, 2020), the half-century of speculations that followed did much to shape the development of broadcast television well before it emerged in the 1930s. Galili notes that much of this occurred within the context of contemporary technologies such as the cinema and the telephone, both of which pointed to the inherent possibilities of such an invention yet embodied very different ideas about image and communications. Seeking to conceptualize moving image technology, people often used the eye as a metaphor or model for how it might operate or the role that it would serve. Though the emergence of the cinema industry in the United States did much to shape the context in which television would develop in the United States, Galili shows how differing theories of visual media and society in the Soviet Union, Germany, and Italy offered alternate models that influenced how the new technology was received in their respective countries.

Tal Galili is, in many ways, a central spoke of the R community. Both gregarious and thoughtful, he has grown his website r-bloggers.com into the definitive aggregation of the R community’s voice through his genuine, passion-driven intensity. Tal had a simple desire as a young programmer - to learn more about his chosen tools - and looked to the internet to find other voices like his. When googling for “R blogs”, Tal found numerous blogs about pirates, but only a handful about R. This interview details how Tal started R-Bloggers and decided to challenge the status quo, as well as his new projects.
