When times are tough, we often look to the past for comfort. And while the shine tends to come off and the cracks start to appear as most things age, sometimes nostalgia for the good old days blurs our vision and skews our memory. That's because nostalgia makes you feel something – it moves you. It makes you feel warm and fuzzy. It makes you spend your money and it demands your attention. But, it can also be another type of gatekeeping. It can trigger you and when we canonise or idolise nostalgic moments it can hold us back from progress. Today, we lie down on the Sanctum's therapy couch and revisit the nostalgic moments that informed the young football fan inside of us. It's an attempt to leave things in the past – which is exactly where they belong – so we can cherish in its place the moment we are in right now. With special guests Nicole Hayes and Her Excellency the Honourable Ms Sam Mostyn AC.With thanks to the AFL Players Association.You can follow The Outer Sanctum on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

Col mio senso dell'umorismo un po' malizioso mi caccio in situazioni imbarazzanti.TRASCRIZIONE [ENG translation below]C'ho un problema coi pronomi. Anzi no, ho problemi coi pronomi su diversi fronti. Allora, ogni volta che cerco di tradurre qualcosa dall'inglese all'italiano, mi trovo a dover affrontare il problema dei pronomi che ormai chi parla in inglese è abituato, appena si presenta, a dire il nome, poi i pronomi che usa. Quindi quando io partecipo a gruppi, a incontri d'oltralpe, in lingua inglese dico "Mi chiamo Cristina Marras, pronouns she/her", quindi mi chiamo Cristina Marras e uso i pronomi 'she', al nominativo, e poi 'her' in tutti gli altri casi in inglese. Ora, in italiano questo non esiste, non non si usa, in italiano comunque è tutto reso incredibilmente difficile dal fatto che ogni articolo, sostantivo, aggettivo, spesso anche alcune forme verbali vengono declinate dipendentemente dal genere. Quindi se io voglio evitare di usare un linguaggio sessista, maschilista dove usando il maschile si intendono anche le donne, se voglio dare visibilità anche all'altro genere, dico "tutti e tutte", altra cosa problematica è che nell'italiano manca la forma neutra, quindi mentre in inglese si dico "they", loro, vuol dire che non è né maschio né femmina, può essere qualsiasi cosa, qualsiasi genere, in italiano questo non è possibile.Perché ve lo sto raccontando? Perché io ho un senso dell'umorismo 'wicked' che vuol dire un po' malizioso, un po' sciocchino anche, per certe persone. Quindi l'altro giorno mi trovavo appunto in uno di questi incontri, con altra gente che veniva da tutte le parti del mondo, ma più che altro gente di lingua inglese, e quando abbiamo fatto il giro di presentazioni mi sono presentata dicendo "mi chiamo Cristina Marras e i pronomi che uso sono 'she' e 'her' e poi ho aggiunto 'her Majesty' che è come dire Sua Eccellenza, sì sua monarca, sì Majesty di solito si usa per per la regina. E c'è qualcuno che ci è rimasto male perché c'era un po l'impressione che io stessi prendendo in giro il fatto di usare, che la gente giustamente chiede un linguaggio inclusivo che riconosce i diversi generi. E io ci sono rimasta malissimo, anzitutto perché io ho un rapporto personale con la regina. Io quando sono diventata cittadina australiana ho dovuto giurare fedeltà alla regina, ma veramente, proprio con il coso li, la bibbia non l'ho usata però ho dovuto giurare fedeltà alla regina perché io sono suddita. E poi raga', con il mazzo che mi faccio ogni giorno per cercare di usare una lingua inclusiva proprio io, insomma, è una cosa che non se ne cava piede, bisogna continuamente camminare sulle uova e niente, farò più attenzione, lo giuro, lo prometto, però lasciate il mio senso dell'umorismo, però lo riserverò ad altri ambiti. Questo ve lo prometto.TRANSLATIONEp. 695 Ah! I pronomi di genere (in genere...).mp3I have a problem with pronouns. Actually no, I have problems with pronouns on several fronts. So, whenever I try to translate something from English into Italian, I face the problem of pronouns that by now English speakers are used to, as soon as they introduce themselves, saying the name, then the pronouns they use. So when I participate in groups, in transalpine meetings, in English I say "My name is Cristina Marras, pronouns she/her," so my name is Cristina Marras and I use the pronouns 'she', in the nominative, and then 'her' in all other cases in English. Now in Italian this does not exist, it is not used, in Italian actually it is all made incredibly difficult by the fact that every article, noun, adjective, often even some verb forms are declined depending on gender. So if I want to avoid using sexist, macho language where using the masculine also means women, if I want to give visibility to the other gender as well, I say "all male and all female," another problematic thing is that in Italian the neutral form doesn't exist, so while in English you say "they," and it means, it is neither male nor female, it can be anything, any gender, in Italian this is not possible .Why am I telling you this? Because I have a wicked sense of humor, which means a little mischievous, a little silly even, for some people. So the other day I was just in one of these meetings, with other people who came from all over the world, but mostly English-speaking people, and when we did the round of introductions I introduced myself by saying "my name is Cristina Marras and the pronouns I use are 'she' and 'her' and then I added 'her Majesty' which is like saying Her Excellency, yes her monarch, Majesty is usually used for the queen.And there were some people who were annoyed because there was a bit of an impression that I was making fun of the fact that I was using, that people (rightly so) demand inclusive language that recognises all genres. And I felt terrible about it, first of all because I have a personal relationship with the queen. When I became an Australian citizen I had to swear allegiance to the queen, but for real, just with the thing there, I didn't swear on the Bible however I had to swear allegiance to the queen because I am subject. And then guys, with the hard work I do every day to try to use an inclusive language, me of all people, I mean, it's a thing that you can never win, you have to constantly walk on eggshells and nothing, I will pay more attention, I promise, I promise, however leave me my sense of humor, but I will reserve it for other circumstances. This I promise you.

主播：梅莉（法国）| 翩翩（中国）音乐：Simple Gifts冬奥会开幕式上，习主席的名字牌（name card）上，名字前有两个英文大写字母：H. E. 这是什么意思呢？今天就要来给大家普及一些国际社会上的称谓知识，非常实用！建议学习方式：边听音频，边看文稿，边做笔记。01. 尊敬的阁下H.E.It is actually an abbreviation. 是一个缩写abbreviation/əˌbriːviˈeɪʃn/，用一种shorter way（简短的方式）来说什么东西。英语当中经常会出现缩写，比如：it is=it's，United States=US。习主席名字前面的H.E.，是His Excellency的缩写，表示“阁下”，用以尊称某些显赫尊贵、有地位的人士。His Excellency可以用来尊称（a polite way to address）officials of very high rank高级别的官员，比如ambassadors（大使）or governors（州长）。比如说：His Excellency, the French ambassador 法国大使阁下His Excellency, Xi JinPing 习主席阁下例句：His Excellency the President will be waiting for you in the hall. 总统阁下将在大厅里等着你。*Excellency /ˈeksələnsi/n. 阁下*address /əˈdres/ v. 称呼（某人）*ambassador /æmˈbæsədər/ n. 大使*governor /ˈɡʌvərnər/ n. （美国的）州长H.E.不光是His Excellency的缩写，也是Her Excellency的缩写，可以用来尊称女士。对于这些缩写，大家应该了解一下，因为it is usedinternationally在国际范围内被广泛应用。比如，在2016年杭州G20峰会时，各国领导人的名牌上，都有H.E.，His Excellency。如：俄罗斯总统普京的name card是：H.E. Vladimir Putin尊敬的普京阁下当时的美国总统奥巴马的name card是：H.E.Barack Obama尊敬的奥巴马阁下02. 皇室成员Majesty& Highness对于皇家成员（the royal family），却不用H.E.称呼。而且，虽然都是尊称皇室成员，陛下与王子、公主等的称呼也不同。l 称呼王，使用Majesty（/ˈmædʒəsti/），陛下。比如，称呼英国女王伊丽莎白，就要使用Majesty，这个词通用于任何王和皇上。Majesty means “Kingship”. majesty就是“王权”。这个词用法很简单，有两种用法。1. 当着王的面，跟王直接对话，称呼陛下为your Majesty。比如说：Yes,your Majesty！遵命陛下！2. 如果以第三人称来称呼王，称呼陛下为her Majesty或his Majesty。比如，《甄嬛传》里皇后对剪秋说：What? His Majesty is sleeping alone again? 什么？皇上又自己睡下了？《狮子王》中，有一句台词是：His Majesty has requested an audience /ˈɔːdiəns/. 陛下要求你觐见。l 称呼王子、公主、太子、亲王、格格等，使用Highness（/ˈhaɪnəs/），殿下。比如查理王子Prince Charles，就可以尊称为His Royal Highness Prince Charles. This goes for all the other princes or princessesas well. 公主、王子的称呼格式都是一样的。比如：还珠格格：Her Royal Highness Princess Huanzhu.果郡王允礼：His Royal Highness Yunli.即使日常生活中见不到high ranked people地位如此之高的人，但是新闻上或者英文影视剧里看到、听到这些敬称的缩写，能明白这些文化，也是非常酷的一件事情。03. 被低估了的Mr. , Ms. , Mrs.Mister (Mr.), Miss(Ms.for unmarried women) ，Misses (Mrs. for married women)这三个词不仅仅只是先生、小姐、夫人的意思，在英文中，它们有更加广泛的用法。在美国或法国，可以直接称呼总统Mr.the President。其实不光是称呼政府人员，在学校称呼老师也是，广泛使用Mr. , Ms.和Mrs.。举几个例子：*比如老师的last name（姓）是Peters，你可以称呼他为Mr. Peters。*在一小席英文academy（学园）, 我们也是要求孩子们按照英语国家的方式来称呼老师，比如：Jerry老师姓An，孩子们称呼他为Mr. An。除了Jerry老师，我们称呼其他老师为：翩翩老师——Ms.PianpianMalle老师——Ms. MalleSelah老师——Ms. Selah*对于已婚，丈夫的姓是Blackson的女士，我们称呼她Mrs. Blackson。04. 彭女士名字前的MME.今年冬奥会上，不仅习大大，彭女士名字前面也有一个缩写，MME.。MME.也是一个abbreviation（/əˌbri:viˈeɪʃn/缩略词），是法语单词Madame（英语madam）的缩写。Madame means Miss.女士，比如，居里夫人就是Madame Curie。奥委会用的是法语madame的缩称MME.，而不是英语madam的缩称，这很有意思。这可能是因为前主席（former president）和国际奥委会的创始人（founder of the international Olympic Committee）是一名法国人顾拜旦。这一期节目，大家学到了吗？请留言告诉我们，你解锁了哪个文化点？

Israel's world leading vaccine rollout (Episode 52) dominated headlines as Ambassador Hotovely took the London reigns from Mark Regev in August 2020. Then the fourth Gaza War ignited wicked antisemitism on our streets. I ask what Israel's mission can do to help Britain's diaspora. She was born in Rehovot in 1978, the daughter of ardent Zionist immigrants from Soviet Georgia. As with Ambassador Regev (Episode 31), we talk about social mobility in Israel, the dynamism of the economy. Tragically, anti-Zionism exists among young Jewish people across the West, in the US. And here too. Heads are being turned by media and peer pressure. But while 75% of American Jews support Israel as a Jewish state, 85% say it's “important or very important” to stand up for the “oppressed or marginalised”. Overbearing anti-Israel narrative makes bias out of balance. Palestinianism is cheered on by halfwit football wokery and TV celebrities. Her Excellency has a message for those in the diaspora less than supportive of the Jewish state. Britain took time to decide to join Australia, Canada and the USA in not sending a representative to Durban IV, a twentieth anniversary commemoration of the first Durban conference against racism which descended into hatred, antisemitism and the birthplace of the modern language of delegitimisation of Israel. Listen up for her thoughts on that, the Abraham Accords and the chances of peace with Joe Biden in the White House.

It's hard to drive through a town in NSW without seeing the names of our first Governors Phillip, Hunter, or Macquarie on a sign for a landmark, but who are our most recent Governors? And what is the role of a modern Governor? My first exposure was as an 11 year old when I entered the residence of the NSW Governor, known as Government House on the door step of the Opera House. One of the few trips over the Great Dividing Range that wasn’t to see a doctor, I was receiving an award for what I believed to be a consolation prize for coming last in multiple cross country runs (that I would crawl). I was overwhelmed with the setting and meeting a person I had to call His Excellency. 27 years on I go back to interview our current Governor, Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AO QC. We speak about the importance of the roll of Governor, the power of a teacher and the need for hope within the justice system

On This Week's Episode...​ Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government…unless you’re Prince Harry! About a month ago, Tim spotted this article in the National Post that posited an interesting idea – could Prince Harry be the next Governor General of Canada? In theory, he absolutely could, along with pretty much anyone else we wanted to (GG Chaz Bono, anyone?), but is it really a good idea? And what the heck is a Governor General, anyway? Does Canada need the last vestiges of the monarchy? Is there a practicality to having this (albeit minimal) executive power in 2018? Well, wax up your monocles and put on your finest trousers, we’re getting all sorts of British up this episode!   Also Overheard:​ The Jerrys? Here?  Vulcan, Alberta is a real and magic place.  What exactly IS a Governor General? The Queen is not a racist Italian caricature. Probably. The Americans SHUT DOWN the government. We PROROGUE ours.  Her Excellency the Right Honourable Julie Payette is the Governor General of Canada. Sorry about that. Mike is a monarchist. The Rob Ford Heritage Minute  “The problem with the Governor General isn’t the lack of hats!“   We want to hear what you think! Don’t just yell angrily at whatever dumb thing Tim just said, or laugh derisively at one of Mike’s opinons!
