Episode 154As you know form last week's episode I'm running a short series of guest episodes before we get back to continuing the journey through the Shakespeare and Jonson cannon. Today's episode is a repeat of episode 30 of the podcast, first released in late 2020. At the time I was discussing the early theatre of Rome and with the Ancient Greek theatre already under my belt I had started to reach out to academics and authors who could add depth and colour to the research that I had been able to do. This episode with Dr Elodie Palliard was, I thought, particularly helpful in describing the likely developments in theatre in the murky period between the end of recorded Athenian theatre and early Roman theatre. It is, I think, worthy of another listen if you heard it at the time, or a first listen if you have only joined us for the later theatrical periods.Dr Elodie Paillard is currently an Honorary Associate in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Sydney, and a Partner Investigator in the Australian Research Council discovery project 'Theatre and Autocracy in Ancient Greece'. She is also a Project Leader at the University of Basel, financed by the Swiss National Science Foundation. After completing a PhD thesis on the staging of socio-political groups in Sophocles, and a postdoc on Greek theatre in Early Imperial Rome and Campania, Elodie is now working on Greek theatre in Republican Italy (500-27BC). She is also a member of the editorial board of the journal Mediterranean Archaeology.Support the podcast at:www.thehistoryofeuropeantheatre.comwww.patreon.com/thoetpwww.ko-fi.com/thoetp Hosted on Acast.

The mantra of the current government is to ‘get the country back on track', but Honorary Associate professor Avril Bell says the current government is looking at safeguarding Pakeha privilege at the expense of Maori. The removal of section 7aa, repealing the Maori Health Authority are some of the actions the government had taken which Avril claims are exclusively ‘anti-Maori'. Sasha spoke to Avril Bell from the University of Auckland about why what's good for Maori is good for everyone.
Costumes, costumes, costumes... they are everywhere, aren't they? From festive occasions to theatrical performances and even on the silver screen in movies. Whilst studying dance, I was always captivated by the costume design at the School of Theatre and Arts Entertainment. They were the ones I interacted with most, as they were responsible for crafting costumes and set designs for various other departments including Music, Drama and Chinese Opera.Rike Zöllner hails originally from Germany and was trained at The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama (MA) after obtaining a degree in Literature and Performing Arts in France. Over the years, she has collaborated with choreographers such as Dimitris Papaioannou, Ben Wright, Theo Clinkard and Colette Sadler to name a few. In 2019 she was awarded as an Honorary Associate of the Royal Welsh College Of Music And Drama, and is now pursuing her PhD whilst also acting as academic assistant in the art history department of the Offenbach University of Art and Design back in Germany. Continuing a brand new season and month of Dance Fashion, this episode explores the intricacies of costume design in dance, how it differs from other art forms and how to pursue one as a full-fledged career.

Glenn A. Albrecht is an Honorary Associate in the School of Geosciences, The University of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. He retired as Professor of Sustainability, at Walter Murdoch University, in mid-2014. He continues to work as an environmental philosopher and published a book, Earth Emotions, with Cornell University Press in 2019. Earth Emotions was published in French and Spanish in 2020 and in Dutch in 2024. In numerous publications and public talks over the last two decades, Dr Albrecht has developed the theme of the psychoterratic (psyche-earth), or negative and positive emotional states connected to the state of the Earth. New concepts, developed by him, are now becoming well-established in the international scholarly literature, new research theses, and as inspiration for many creative people in the arts and music. While he is best known for creating the concept of solastalgia, or the lived experience of negative environmental change, his most recent work develops the mega-meme of the 'Symbiocene', a future state where humans re-integrate with the rest of nature. A book of that title should be completed by the end of 2024. He currently lives at Blackheath on Gundungurra land in the Blue Mountains of NSW, Australia. Glenn Albrecht, an environmental philosopher, discusses the concepts of psychoterratic, solastalgia, and the symbiocene. He emphasizes the importance of developing new language and concepts to describe the emotional and psychological states connected to the state of the Earth. Albrecht believes that the current language used in sustainability and eco-literacy is inadequate and easily misused. He introduces the concept of the symbiocene, a future state where humans reintegrate with the rest of nature, as a paradigm shift from the Anthropocene. He sees symbiosis as the foundation for life and a key to creating a better future. Glenn emphasizes the need to focus on the practical application of symbiosis in order to shift away from extractive and exploitative economic practices. He highlights the importance of transdisciplinary thinking and breaking down disciplinary boundaries to understand the value of life and the need for harmony with all living beings. Glenn discusses the potential for using biotechnology, such as mycelium-based coffins and mycelium bricks, as sustainable alternatives to current technologies. He envisions a future where everything we use can be returned to the cycles of life and where the joy of life and positive Earth emotions are nurtured.

The concept of the symbiocene, a future state where humans reintegrate with the rest of nature, offers a paradigm shift from the Anthropocene. Symbiosis is the foundation for life and a key to creating a better future. Resonance and frequency play a role in conveying emotions and can be a form of language beyond spoken words.

In this episode we go back to basics and look at the practical ways of communicating the principle of charity and how certain behaviours over time have been developed for social cohesion, even when we don't all agree. With our special guests – moral philosopher Dr Tim Dean and festival director Danielle Harvey – we have a wide-ranging discussion on what communicating in good faith looks like, what bad faith is, and how to navigate tricky topics. We discuss ways to have hard conversations – be that in person, in events, in podcasts or even in lecture theatres. This takes us to the role of morality, behavioural evolution, and outrage. What do we have in our toolkit that we can use to solve the problems of how to live together peacefully? And just how do you communicate your view or knowledge in a way that can be understood while inviting challenge in a respectful manner? This episode introduces our new partnership with The Ethics Centre, a not for profit organisation who works to bring ethics to the centre of everyday life. We have joined forces, aligned by an intent to bring curiosity and generosity to conversations about the tough topics in our world. Dr Tim Dean is the senior philosopher at The Ethics Centre.

How do we grow our mindsets to meet the dissonance of our time with real action? In this episode Amisha talks to Jamie Bristow, recognised for his pioneering work on mindfulness in politics and public policy, and for his writing on inner development as a way of addressing a range of societal issues. Jamie was Director of the ‘Mindfulness Initiative' policy institute and clerk to the UK's All-Party Parliamentary Group on Mindfulness, where he led numerous initiatives to promote mindfulness in government and policy circles worldwide. Jamie was formerly Business Development Director for Headspace and has a background in psychology, climate change campaigning and advertising. His mentors have included Rob Burbea, Stephen Batchelor and Christina Feldman. Jamie is an Honorary Associate of Bangor University, where he is currently supervising a research project on ‘awareness-based social change'. Amisha and Jamie speak about the impact mindfulness practices can have on flourishing societies that are equipped to hold the complexities and dissonance of our time. Jamie shares how the results of resourcing politicians with skills rooted in empathy and connection is filtering into public and political spheres showing promising green shoots of policy and system changes. Together they explore how mindfulness can create vital mindset shifts needed to tackle the climate crisis. Jamie reveals what inner qualities we can cultivate, how we can bring them into mainstream culture to make them accessible as micro and macro acts of activism and to build movements of change that ripple across our global communities. We learn that we can understand the climate crisis as a relationship crisis. Having courageous conversations about the challenges we are facing is a powerful way to grow our common ground and connection; a way to truth tell our way out of this status quo that's lingering at five minutes past midnight.

Toner is the co-author with Dr Nick Lomb, of the new book Eclipse Chasers (2023). Using a coin of the Roman emperor Nerva, minted in 96 AD when he came to power, they discuss how his funeral two years later coincided with a solar eclipse and how humans have interacted with eclipses for millennia. From Australian First Nation astronomy to the successful 1922 Australian scientific expeditions to capture data to prove Einstein's theory that gravity could bend the fabric of time and space - a project commemorated in its centenary year last year in postage stamps and in minted coins - bringing us back to Nerva's coin.

Unearthed from the ruins of ancient cities in modern-day Iraq, the reconstruction of the epic from fragments of clay tablets has been a labour of love for scholars of ancient Mesopotamia. This painstaking work has brought to life a sophisticated story of adventure, heroism and friendship, as well as a reflection on the human condition. Today, experts are uncovering additional fragments of cuneiform script and using artificial intelligence to decipher the text and fill in the gaps of this and other stories. Professor Anmar Fadhil from the University of Baghdad tells the programme about the latest discoveries. Bridget Kendall is joined by Andrew George, Emeritus Professor of Babylonian at SOAS at the University of London and author of an acclaimed English translation of the epic; Professor Enrique Jiménez, chair of Ancient Near Eastern Literature at Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, Germany who has published widely on Babylonian literature of the first millennium BC; and Dr Louise Pryke, Honorary Associate in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Sydney in Australia who is the author of Gilgamesh, a guide to the epic which was published in 2019.

If, like us, you're anxious about the climate emergency, tune in: this episode is all about the gaining of wisdom in an uncertain world. We look to science, innovation and First Nations knowledges to learn how one young Australian is detoxifying the ocean and atmosphere, and what the world's oldest link between humans and the land can teach us about managing the environment. In his 2021 Australian Museum Talbot Oration, Professor Tim Flannery calls for solutions. One of those is floating out at sea – a native seaweed called asparogopsis, which when fed to cows substantially reduces their methane emissions. Another solution is listening to First Nations people, whose successful stewardship of Country for time immemorial saw both people and the environment thrive. Australian Museum First Nations curator Dr Mariko Smith discusses what one new acquisition – the Kimberley Boab Nut Collection – can teach us about this legacy. Guests: Professor Tim Flannery, Sam Elsom and Dr Mariko Smith Host: Alice GageFind images, extra stories and transcript at australian.museum/explore-----Sam Elsom is the founder and CEO of Sea Forest.

Today, oral histories of everyday Singaporeans are more widely circulated in the nation's mediascape than ever before. At first glance, storytelling in Singapore appears to have lost its monolithic quality, becoming diffuse and diversified. But as Dr Cheng Nien Yuan argues, Singapore has become a Storytelling State, marketing bite-sized pieces of consumable lives as authentic windows to the private self. The result is the use of personal stories within the neoliberal public sphere, mirroring a growing global phenomenon. To tell this story, Dr Natali Pearson is joined by Dr Cheng Nien Yuan to discuss her award-winning research that charts Singapore's development into a storytelling state over the last decade. About Cheng Nien Yuan: Cheng Nien Yuan is an Honorary Associate at the University of Sydney's School of Literature, Art and Media, as well as the Sydney Southeast Asia Centre. Her research centres around the politics and poetics of storytelling in Singapore. She obtained her PhD in Theatre and Performance Studies in 2020 at Sydney University. Her thesis titled ‘The Storytelling State: Performing Life Histories in Singapore' was awarded the 2020 John Legge Best Thesis in Asian Studies Prize by the Asian Studies Association of Australia. She has published in the journals Studies in Theatre and Performance (2021), Performance Paradigm (2018), and the Oral History Review (2017). She is also a dramaturg and performance-maker. Cheng is currently based in the Intercultural Theatre Institute in Singapore, where she researches their pedagogy and practice.

Learn the extraordinary story of the Picturesque Atlas of Australasia and its impact on the Australian art-world between 1885 and 1900. At this event you'll hear from Dr Gary Werskey, co-curator of the Library's current exhibition A Nation Imagined: The Artists of the Picturesque Atlas, who will explore why a group of American artists and entrepreneurs joined forces with Sydney's artist-illustrators in the production of this landmark publication, and how they ultimately shaped the direction of Australian art and put it on the world's stage. A Nation Imagined: The Artists of the Picturesque Atlas is presented in partnership with the Art Gallery of New South Wales and will be open until Sunday 11 July 2021. The exhibition was co-curated by Dr Gary Werskey, Honorary Associate in the Department of History at the University of Sydney and author of Picturing a Nation: The Art and Life of A.H. Fullwood, and Natalie Wilson, Curator of Australian and Pacific Art at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
In the extreme north of Laos, in Phongsali Province, lies a tiny village home to around 24 households. Until recently it was a monoethnic Khmu village. The Khmu have had a historically ambivalent relationship to the national majority in contemporary Laos. It's also home to the Akha, another ethnic group that have been described as state evaders seeking to avoid lowland politics and who migrated to northern Laos in recent decades. This small hamlet is a window into Laos' march into a particular type of post-colonial modernity, where massive infrastructure projects, interethnic tensions, spirit beliefs and animistic practices coexist and collide. Dr Paul-David Lutz joined Dr Natali Pearson on SSEAC Stories to share the stories of this hamlet, and reflect on the importance of “animist” beliefs and practices in shaping a culturally-specific sense of modernity in the uplands of far-north Laos. About Dr Paul-David Lutz: Dr Paul-David Lutz recently received his PhD from the University of Sydney's Department of Anthropology. He is a SSEAC Writing Fellow, and an Honorary Associate at the University of Sydney's School of Social and Political Sciences. Prior to his PhD, Paul-David Lutz worked for several years as a rural development advisor in Laos and Vietnam. His thesis “Sert Has Gone” gives a ‘once-removed' ethnographic history of the ethnic Khmu and Akha village of ‘Sanjing' in Phongsali, northernmost Laos. His research brings development studies into conversation with both history's interest in locally-specific ways of relating to the past, and anthropology's burgeoning focus on ‘future-making' and ‘more-than-human lifeworlds.'

We are pleased to have Ferne with us talking about anthropology of food – a field that has been at the core of her research and professional focus for the last 17 years. How did food become Ferne's topic? What were the drivers that moved her anthropological research from food, to sustainable city movements to political ecology? Ferne describes herself as an activist scholar and describes the way she balances the stillness of mind that academic work requires and the rush that the applied work often entails. We ask how to be an ethical consumer in a city environment and how does the pandemic influence the sustainable actions and social resilience? Ferne shares her experience on working in cross-disciplinary setups and describes what she found to be the best fit for her. At the end, we ask for an advice for those considering a similar path. Dr. Ferne Edwards is a cultural anthropologist specializing in sustainable cities, food systems and social change and works across disciplines including geography, design, health, and planning. Ferne is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at NTNU, Norway working on Socially and Environmentally Just Transitions specialising in urban natures. She has conducted research in Australia, Venezuela, Ireland and Spain on food waste, urban beekeeping, non-monetised alternative food economies, and food sharing, contributing to more than 30 publications. Ferne is also highly active in running international collaborative networks and events: she ledEdiCitNet to establish an international edible cities network; is an UrbanA Fellow for Just and Sustainable Cities, Awards Director for ‘Why the World Needs Anthropologists', Review Editor for Frontiers Journal, and an Australian Anthropology Society Fellow. In 2013 Ferne was appointed a World Social Science Fellow by theInternational Social Science Council, and in 2016 became a Fellow of the Australian Anthropology Society and an Honorary Associate at the Centre for Urban Research, RMIT University.

This talk was given as part of the Oxford Transitional Justice Research (OTJR) Seminar Series. Art is a radical form of political participation in times of transition. Arising out of 11 months of fieldwork at the Constitutional Court of South Africa and the South Africa Pavilion at the Venice Art Biennale, which included 130 interviews with key decision makers, the book 'The Justice of Visual Art: Creative State-Building in Times of Transition' explores three important areas of transitional justice: the theoretical framing of justice and art; the visual jurisprudence of justice measures developed in transition; and, the cultural diplomacy practices of states emerging from conflict. In this seminar, we are joined by the author of the book, Dr Eliza Garnsey. Eliza Garnsey is a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow in International Relations at the University of Cambridge and a Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College Cambridge. She is currently in Australia as an Honorary Associate at the Centre for International Security Studies at the University of Sydney. Her research focuses on art and visual culture in international relations and world politics, particularly in relation to human rights, transitional justice, and conflict.

In this episode, Emma Park speaks to Gita Sahgal, a human rights activist and Honorary Associate of the NSS, about secularism in India, and the threats it is facing from the Hindutva (Hindu nationalist) movement endorsed by Modi’s government. Modern India has been a secularist state since its foundation in 1947. But since the first election of Modi’s government in 2014, as Gita explains, Indian supporters of secularism, pluralism, and the rule of law have been targeted, silenced, and in some cases imprisoned or killed; and the coronavirus pandemic has been used as an opportunity to clamp down on them further. Gita and Emma also consider how the ideology of Hindutva is bringing its version of Hinduism closer to a monotheistic religion, and how this reinforces its intolerant stance towards Indians who are not Hindus, in particular, the large Muslim minority. Finally, Gita discusses her current work with One Law For All, which is campaigning against Sharia law and other religious laws in the UK.

I sat down with Meredith Lake to talk about the Bible in Australia. We bust myths about the history of the Bible in this country, talk about where one goes looking to find the cultural history of a book so contested, the way the Bible shows up in almost every major national conversation and debate (often on both sides), the role of the Bible in colonisation, its use by immigrants, and the way Indigenous Christians – from early on through today – have reappropriated the Bible, turning it back on the worst of White Australia.Meredith is an historian, broadcaster and award-winning writer interested in how Australians understand the big questions of faith and meaning. In 2019, she hosts Soul Search - a weekly show about the lived experience of religion and spirituality - on ABC Radio National. She is also an Honorary Associate of the Department of History, Sydney University, where she did her PhD on religious ideas about the environment in Australian colonial history. She tweets at @meredithlake1The Bible in Australia is shortlisted for the 2019 NSW Premier's History awards, and was named 2018 Australian Christian Book of the Year. She is also the author of a major study of faith-based charity since the Great Depression, Faith in Action: HammondCare (UNSW Press, 2013).Follow the show: @RinseRepeatPod // Follow me: @liammiller87Find more: www.loverinserepeat.com/podcast https://www.youtube.com/user/LiamMQUT/videos

We often hear about the need to close the "digital divide" in Australia - that is, the gulf between those who are digitally included and those who are not. But when we picture the divide this way we lose sight of the myriad of cultural, economic and political issues that prevent people in Australia from participating in the digital sphere. These are problems that the NBN alone can't fix. So, it's time to re-frame the debate. This episode features two conversations that challenge our assumptions about digital access in remote Indigenous communities and among detainees at Villawood Detention Centre.

Artwork by Sylph Aeon. In which experiential journalist Rak Razam is interviewed by Dr Sebastian Job, Honorary Associate, Department of Anthropology at the University of Sydney about the interdimensional entities that we encounter on entheogens like ayahuasca and DMT. Are these projections of our own subconscious, or of some Collective Unconscious, or are they natives to a deeper realm that we intersect via entheogens? What is an entity and how does our language encapsulate our understanding of entity contact? How much have Terence McKenna's metaphors calcified a fluid translinguistic experience into a cultural shorthand? How can we quantify entity experiences and move beyond logic and left-brain rationalism to feel into the intuitive and extra-sensory levels where these translinguistic encounters happen? Are we facing a divine invasion, or are we the colonizers of hyperspace? All know that the drop merges into the ocean, but few know that the ocean merges into the drop. - Kabir Proudly supporting the Psychedelic Science 2013 conference.

This is what it feels like to be hyperconnected: a new kind of community - pervasive, continuous, yet strangely tense and tenuous, like a balloon inflated to the point of bursting. The limits of the neocortex meeting the amplifier of the Human Network. That creates unique opportunities: we can come together at a word, self-organize around or against a blog post, a live-streamed video, an automated reply from a faceless, rent-seeking organization. Nothing can stop us. We can’t even stop ourselves. But what do we want? And the other thing? You’ll need to be at Web Directions South, for the closing keynote, if you want to find out.

Sometime shortly after Web Directions South concludes, somebody (probably a somebody in the "developing" world) will become the three billionth mobile phone subscriber. Good for the providers, of course - but the effects of the network on human social organization are far more profound. From the dhows of Kerala to the cities of China to the beaches of Cronulla, we’re all coming into contact with - and learning how to master - the subtle skills of spontaneous self-organization which are the essential fact of life on the network. We can get in front of this spree of self-organization - or get run over by it. Either way, mob rules are the new laws of business, politics, and culture.
