How can an interdisciplinary approach to the study of our past help our understanding of history? How transformative was the Spanish Empire's global influence and how did they accomplish it?Felipe Fernández-Armesto is the William P. Reynolds Professor of History at the University of Notre Dame and the author of several books including How the Spanish Empire Was Built: A 400-Year History, 1492: The Year the Four Corners of the Earth Collided, and Near a Thousand Tables: A History of Food.Felipe and Greg discuss the hunger for simple, moral narratives in history, a stark contrast to the reality of multifaceted characters and events that shaped our world. They scrutinize the legacy of Cortez and the Spanish conquest, challenging notions that have influenced our moral judgments of history. Felipe also takes on some myths surrounding the technological prowess of the Spanish Empire.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:What did engineers contribute to the political functioning of an empire?24:02: What did engineers contribute to the political functioning of the empire? And I think that was crucial as well. Because if you've got an empire, especially if you've got a pre-industrial empire like that of Spain, and you're trying to manage this vast enterprise from a very small country with a very small population, a very restricted domestic resource base, a poor, small country, in order to do that, you need indigenous collaborators. You mentioned the Black Legend, of Spanish cruelty and oppression. No matter how cruel or oppressive you are, you can't run an empire of that sort with pre-industrial technology unless you can reconcile sufficient indigenous people to it.What can we learn about hatred from history?41:22: One of the lessons I've learned from history is that hatred is an intractable emotion that has extraordinary enduring powers, and people tend to change their friends a lot. The history of international relations is basically the history of shifting alliances. People always change their friends, but they keep the same enemies. I think, for all the good intentions of the Spaniards, they never quite created the sort of Pax Hispanica, which might fully deserve the name. Of course, Pax Romana didn't deserve the name either.History isn't a science51:08: For me, history isn't a science. It's an art; it's a humanistic discipline. I make no apology for that revel in it. That's what makes it fascinating, because the problems of science are fundamentally solvable; if they're genuinely problems of science, they're fundamentally solvable. When scientists take on subjects beyond their province, like, you know, "What's the origin of the cosmos?" or "Does God exist?" all those sorts of questions. Now, science—that's rather foolish and ambitious on the part of a scientist; if a question is genuinely scientific, then it's in principle answerable. If a problem is scientific, it's, in principle, solvable. Whereas a problem in the humanities is, in principle, insoluble because you can never have a completely objective assessment of the evidence.The nature of truth in historical narratives07:27: A very important truth about history is that we don't know what the truth is. We know only the truth of what the sources say, so we know what particular people who've left us sources wanted us to think. And to some extent, I suppose we can corroborate that against archaeological evidence or dispassionate statistics if they happen to be available. But essentially, the problem of being a historian and telling the truth is that the evidence is not present to our senses, so we cannot test it in the same way that we can test the truth of assertions that are made by things that are happening in our own time.Show Links: Recommended Resources:R.

With a cast of many characters, telling the story from more than a dozen vantage points - Johnnie Bernhard takes readers on a journey with a widow and a sojourner in her new novel Hannah and Ariela. Johnnie's connection to the land, the people, and the history of Texas shine through, but listen to how writing from all these different points of view challenged her and made her "put her ego in her back pocket". We talk about the layers of miracle and faith and we dig deeper into the real life tragedy of human trafficking at the heart of this harrowing fiction. You can find Johnnie's other award-winning literary fiction novels and more about her - on her website - HERE. I've had the absolute honor of narrating her novels: Sisters of the Undertow, How We Came to Be, and A Good Girl. Finally, you should know, a portion of the proceeds from Hannah and Ariela book sales will go to the aid of victims of human trafficking. A special thank you to TCU Press, and as always, thank you for listening. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theresa-bakken/support
2019 marked the five-hundred year anniversary of the launch of Ferdinand Magellan's voyage around the world–a milestone marked by commemorative sailings, museum exhibitions, and a joint submission from Spain and Portugal to UNESCO. Two years later, the Philippines marked their own commemoration of Magellan's voyage: the 500th anniversary of his death at the hands of local leader Lapu-Lapu. A master voyager in Spain and Portugal, a defeated imperialist in the Philippines–these are just two of the ways that Magellan's image has evolved and changed over the past five centuries. But what was the man actually like? Felipe Fernandez-Armesto tries to get at who Magellan was in his latest book Straits: Beyond the Myth of Magellan (University of California Press: 2022). Relying on first-hand accounts of Magellan's voyage, Felipe portrays Magellan as a self-promoter, devious over-promiser, lover of chivalric literature, ruthless authoritarian and, at the end, a believer in his own hype. In this interview, Felipe and I talk about Magellan: the man, his voyage (and what it was actually supposed to do), and the legacy of his expedition. Felipe holds the William P. Reynolds Chair of Mission in Arts and Letters at the University of Notre Dame, where he is a professor in the Departments of History and Classics and the Program in the History and Philosophy of Science. His most recent books are Out of Our Minds: What We Think and How We Came to Think It (University of California Press: 2019) and, as editor, The Oxford Illustrated History of the World (Oxford University Press: 2021) You can find more reviews, excerpts, interviews, and essays at The Asian Review of Books, including its review of Straits.

Read Megann Marcellino's story of how honoring Shabbat at home has blessed her family… Recently, I shared our family's journey of the One New Man, how this changed our family culture, and subsequently changed how we honored Shabbat at home… How We Came to Honoring Shabbat at Home When Joseph was born, we stayed home for a few months which was followed by an extended trip and then COVID. As a result, we had almost 6 months of Shabbat at home. This was something I never even considered a possibility. For us, Shabbat was always a corporate experience. However, the season of honoring Shabbat at home was such a gift to us as parents and brought to light an understanding I think we needed in order to build a better faith foundation for our children. Celebrating Shabbat at Home Changed Us Ariebella loves celebrating Shabbat with our church family. She looks forward to it every week! But it wasn't until we began practicing the traditions of Shabbat at home as a family of four that she began to understand that it wasn't just about seeing her friends. We began preparing for Shabbat together, cleaning the houses, and making dinner. She began covering her head and lighting candles. She learned the blessing in Hebrew and English. We sang “Shabbat Shalom.” We welcomed peace and rest into our home, and she became a part of the process. When I was a child, we read “Bedtime for Frances.” However, now as a mom, I don't recommend it for 4-year-olds. It gives way too many ideas for additional naughty bedtime shenanigans! Don't we already have enough? Water. Check. Song. Check. Favorite blanket. Check. Book. Check. Prayer. Check. Cuddles. Check. Nightlight on. Check. Door cracked. More water. Check. Can you relate?

Focusing and Physical Pain Focusing practice is explored in many ways. I myself have put it to the test in every aspects of my life, time and time again. One might think that going inside is more of spiritual or emotional practice, but one thing to remember about Focusing is that it is a body practice. It is all about going within, seeking answers and a sense of rightness that flows from within you. Focusing is a BODY practice. It is not mediation. We are looking for places in our body where emotional “stuckness” presents itself. Once we “tune in” we can discover the multitude of ways our body communicates through sensations, images and feelings throughout the body. These places tend to present themselves from the area around the throat (and I invite you to check in to that place in you now) the heart space, the stomach and the whole center of us. Of course things can present in the head, as a headache, the neck as neck pain, back pain, cramps, muscle soreness. It's all a part of how the body talks to us. But what to we do? How do we Focus around Physical pain, the kind we might experience after a major injury or surgery. What role can Focusing play in the moments before, during and after an event like this in our lives. Early on in my Focusing life I had injured my calf muscle playing squash. At the time I thought that I had been hit in the back of the leg by the racquet of my squash partner. I was convinced that he had cracked the back of my calf with the snap of a bamboo rod. That my friends was pain. A shooting pain I had never really felt before that moment. Thankfully the injury did not require surgery, but it did give me the opportunity to examine the pain that was there. I did not do this in an abstract way. I used Focusing techniques to get inside that injury, to be with it, to talk with it in some way and to understand some important things. One memory is something around putting your best foot forward another is about pushing to hard. The important thing is that through this Focusing I gained a bodily Understanding of what happened and I could take this knowledge and Focusing into the healing process. I learned something more about myself, about the before and after and about a new way of self healing that took into account the whole. Of course I saw doctors, homeopaths and other experts, but I included my Focusing in this healing as well. Since that time, I have applied this Focusing to various scenarios, from minor headaches to Flus, colds and Dental visits. Some of you might remember recent podcasts with Barbara Dickinson. I learned that Barbara was going to be having Hip replacement surgery. In our conversations I shared some ways I had used Focusing around physical pain. She also agreed that after the surgery she would share the many different ways she used Focusing before, during and after her Surgery.

Focusing and Physical Pain Focusing practice is explored in many ways. I myself have put it to the test in every aspects of my life, time and time again. One might think that going inside is more of spiritual or emotional practice, but one thing to remember about Focusing is that it is a body practice. It is all about going within, seeking answers and a sense of rightness that flows from within you. Focusing is a BODY practice. It is not mediation. We are looking for places in our body where emotional “stuckness” presents itself. Once we “tune in” we can discover the multitude of ways our body communicates through sensations, images and feelings throughout the body. These places tend to present themselves from the area around the throat (and I invite you to check in to that place in you now) the heart space, the stomach and the whole center of us. Of course things can present in the head, as a headache, the neck as neck pain, back pain, cramps, muscle soreness. It's all a part of how the body talks to us. But what to we do? How do we Focus around Physical pain, the kind we might experience after a major injury or surgery. What role can Focusing play in the moments before, during and after an event like this in our lives. Early on in my Focusing life I had injured my calf muscle playing squash. At the time I thought that I had been hit in the back of the leg by the racquet of my squash partner. I was convinced that he had cracked the back of my calf with the snap of a bamboo rod. That my friends was pain. A shooting pain I had never really felt before that moment. Thankfully the injury did not require surgery, but it did give me the opportunity to examine the pain that was there. I did not do this in an abstract way. I used Focusing techniques to get inside that injury, to be with it, to talk with it in some way and to understand some important things. One memory is something around putting your best foot forward another is about pushing to hard. The important thing is that through this Focusing I gained a bodily Understanding of what happened and I could take this knowledge and Focusing into the healing process. I learned something more about myself, about the before and after and about a new way of self healing that took into account the whole. Of course I saw doctors, homeopaths and other experts, but I included my Focusing in this healing as well. Since that time, I have applied this Focusing to various scenarios, from minor headaches to Flus, colds and Dental visits. Some of you might remember recent podcasts with Barbara Dickinson. I learned that Barbara was going to be having Hip replacement surgery. In our conversations I shared some ways I had used Focusing around physical pain. She also agreed that after the surgery she would share the many different ways she used Focusing before, during and after her Surgery. So please sit back and enjoy my conversation with Barbaera Dickinson.
