Podcasts about Ishiguro

När Kazuo Ishiguro fick litteraturpriset skrev Svenska Akademien i prismotiveringen att hans verk blottar ”avgrunden under vår skenbara hemhörighet i världen.” Oavsett om det handlar om en strikt butler, en naiv robot eller klonade tonåringar så tar litteraturpristagaren Kazuo Ishiguros böcker oss in i andra världar där vi sakta småningom förstår att saker inte är som de verkar – och i det här samtalet berättar författaren David Lagercrantz om varför Ishiguro är en av hans favoritförfattare..

Årets filmfest på Rivieran är snart slut, priserna ska delas ut och nu är det dags för analys och summering i P1 Kultur! Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Kulturredaktionens filmexperter Emma Engström och Björn Jansson har båda bevakat årets Cannesfestival, där de träffat flera intressanta filmskapare och skådespelare. I dag hör vi mötet med den iranska, prisbelönade filmskaparen Jafar Panahi som är i Cannes med filmen ”It was just an accident”, men också intervjun med nobelpristagaren i litteratur, brittiska Kazuo Ishiguro! Han har varit på plats i Cannes som exekutiv producent för filmen ”A pale view of hills” som bygger på hans debutroman och P1 Kultur fick träffa honom – en person som är känd för att vara sparsam med intervjuer. Dessutom, hur politisk har årets festival varit? Går det att skönja några trender, vilka är de främsta utropstecknen och vilka filmer ligger bra till för att ta hem Guldpalmen, ett pris som innebär stor publik, men inte sällan också en Oscars-nominering!RADIOMEDIET PÅ UPPGÅNGIgår torsdag presenterade regeringen public service-proposition, där Tidö-partierna slår fast ramarna för Sveriges Radio, Sveriges Television och Utbildningsradion de kommande åtta åren. Trots ett i dag splittrat medielandskap, är lyssnandet på public service-radio stabilt och har till och med ökat lite. Livesänd radio och inte minst livesänd musikradio – som spåddes vara på väg ut i spåren av spellistekulturen – verkar enligt många bedömare ha en lysande framtid och ett exempel på det är Storbritannien. P1 Kulturs Thella Johnson har varit där och bland annat träffat radioprofilen Jamilla Walters på BBC 6 Music, som från och med pandemiåren haft en stadig ökning av unga lyssnare.KLASSIKERN OM MIKE KELLEYS KONSTVERK MOBILE HOMESTEADNyligen öppnade sommarens och höstens stora utställning på Moderna Museet i Stockholm - "Ghost and spirit" - med verk av den amerikanske konstnären Mike Kelley. Han dog 2012 och utställningen på Moderna spänner över hela hans banbrytande konstnärskap. I dagens Klassiker får vi följa med Anna Tullberg på en labyrintisk husesyn i ett av hans sista stora verk "Mobile Homestead".Programledare Thella JohnsonProducenter Maria Götselius

Kazuo Ishiguro's most popular novel is as relevant today as when it was published 20 years ago.--When it was published in 2005, Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Never Let Me Go was acclaimed by critics and shortlisted for the Booker Prize. Twenty years on – having been adapted for stage and screen and adopted as a set text for schools – it is Ishiguro's most read work, and is considered a modern classic.Why does this profoundly settling book continue to absorb us? And what does it tell us about the role novels play in helping us grapple with the ethical dilemmas created by advances in science and technology?The critic David Sexton has been re-reading Never Let Me Go and joins Tom Gatti on the Culture from the New Statesman to discuss the impact of Ishiguro's most popular work.RECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODE: Winner of the 2025 Booker Prize, Samantha Harvey, on her novel Orbital - and how "political choices are sculpting the surface of the earth"https://www.newstatesman.com/podcasts/culture-podcast/2024/11/booker-prize-winner-samantha-harvey-political-choices-are-sculpting-the-surface-of-the-earthREADDavid's essay: Kazuo Ishiguro's everyday dystopiahttps://www.newstatesman.com/culture/books/book-of-the-day/2025/03/kazuo-ishiguro-never-let-me-go-everyday-dystopiaGO AD-FREESubscribers can listen to all episodes ad-free in the New Statesman app: iOS: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/new-statesman-magazine/id610498525Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.progressivemediagroup.newstatesman&hl=en_GB&gl=US&pli=1SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTERGet the best of our reporting direct to your inbox every weekend with The Saturday Read.Sign up at saturdayread.substack.comBECOME A SUBSCRIBERFull access from £8.99 per month: https://secure.newstatesman.com/offer Hosted on Acast.

How has a writer known principally for his contained domestic novels come to represent the most dynamic elements of world literature? In Kazuo Ishiguro Against World Literature (Bloomsbury, 2025), Chris Holmes expands our understanding of how world literature engages with the most pressing crises of the 20th and 21st centuries by examining Ishiguro's fascination with characters who are profoundly constrained in their ability to understand global systems to which they are subject. Rather than following the established pattern of so-called global novels, which crisscross the planet exhibiting a knowing cosmopolitanism, Ishiguro's fictional engagement with the world comes principally in the form of characters who are cut off from the global systems that abuse them. By examining the ways in which Ishiguro foregrounds the in-process thinking of those who fail to comprehend their place in the flow of politics, culture, and ideas, Holmes positions Ishiguro as the great chronicler of everyday lives, and as such, prepares a mode of reading world literature that questions the assumptions for how we live and think with others when each of us is deeply limited. Chris Holmes is Associate Professor and Chair of Literatures in English at Ithaca College. He is the host of the literary interview podcast, Burned by Books, and he is host and co-producer on Novel Dialogue, the podcast of the Society of Novel Studies, both of which are New Books Network partners. His most recent essays appear in NOVEL, MFS, Critique, and Public Books. Caroline Levine is David and Kathleen Ryan Professor of the Humanities at Cornell University. She is the author most recently of The Activist Humanist: Form and Method in the Climate Crisis, and Forms: Whole, Rhythm, Hierarchy, Network. Learn more about your ad choices.

Kathy H. tem 31 anos e está prestes a encerrar sua carreira de "cuidadora". Enquanto isso, ela relembra o tempo que passou em Hailsham, um internato inglês que dá grande ênfase às atividades artísticas e conta, entre várias outras amenidades, com bosques, um lago povoado de marrecos, uma horta e gramados impecavelmente aparados. No entanto, esse internato idílico esconde uma terrível verdade: todos os "alunos" de Hailsham são clones, produzidos com a única finalidade de servir de peças de reposição. Assim que atingirem a idade adulta, e depois de cumprido um período como cuidadores, todos terão o mesmo destino - doar seus órgãos até "concluir". Embora à primeira vista pareça pertencer ao terreno da ficção científica, o livro de Ishiguro lança mão desses "doadores", em tudo e por tudo idênticos a nós, para falar da existência. Pela voz ingênua e contida de Kathy, somos conduzidos até o terreno pantanoso da solidão e da desilusão onde, vez por outra, nos sentimos prestes a atolar.

When Nobel Prize-winning author Kazuo Ishiguro went on the BBC program Desert Island Discs, he spoke about how much he loves the music of jazz singer Stacey Kent. In today's episode, Ishiguro and Kent tell NPR's Juana Summers how that mention led them to meet and embark on an artistic endeavor together – a new songbook called The Summer We Crossed Europe in the Rain, featuring lyrics by Ishiguro set to music composed by Kent's partner, Jim Tomlinson.

Notes and Links to Priscilla Gilman's Work      For Episode 226, Pete welcomes Priscilla Gilman, and the two discuss, among other topics, her famous and accomplished parents, and the perks and drawbacks that came with running in circles with dynamic writers and creatives, her voracious appetite for art and media and books, formational and informative works of art, books and not, her father's wonderful work, belief in the sanctity of childhood, grief and its manifestations, the ways in which her relationships were nurturing and not, and how she managed to write lovingly and honestly about such a towering and beloved figure.      Priscilla Gilman is the author of the memoir, The Anti-Romantic Child, and a former professor of English literature at Yale University and Vassar College. The Anti-Romantic Child received starred reviews in Publishers Weekly and Booklist, was selected as one the Best Books of 2011 by the Leonard Lopate Show and The Chicago Tribune, and was one of five nominees for a Books for a Better Life Award for Best First Book.

Hello!Today's episode is an interview with Carrie Sun, whose memoir PRIVATE EQUITY came out yesterday. (Buy it here!) The book is a memoir about the time Carrie spent working as the right hand for one of the country's most famous billionaire hedge fund managers. We talk about the allure of finance and Wall Street, Ishiguro and restraint in writing, the ways in which political awakenings can sometimes be quite mundane in their origins, and a lot more about this wonderful book. If you're a fan of everything from Ishiguro to Michael Lewis, this book is worth checking out, especially if you want to see what its like to work in a place where there are daily exploitations, insane expectations, but also sometimes there's a bag on your desk and there's a $2000 pair of leggings inside.

Jenna Ortega, known for her role in Wednesday, is set to star alongside six-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams in Taika Waititi's ambitious adaptation of the sci-fi novel Klara and the Sun. The novel, a New York Times bestseller written by Kazuo Ishiguro, follows the story of Klara, an artificial friend created to prevent teenagers from feeling lonely. Ortega, currently in high demand, had to drop out of Scream 7 due to scheduling conflicts. She is also starring in Tim Burton's Beetlejuice 2 and working on the second season of Netflix's Wednesday, the Addams Family spin-off. Meanwhile, Amy Adams will be seen in Marielle Heller's Nightbitch and Waititi, who recently released Next Goal Wins, has several upcoming projects, including Interior Chinatown, a new Star Wars, and a Time Bandits series. Klara and the Sun explores the theme of loneliness through the eyes of its narrator, an artificial friend. The story delves into the question of what it means to love, featuring a narrator who is optimistic and childlike. Ishiguro, the author, explained that the appeal of the novel lies in the protagonist, Klara, who brings a childlike freshness and openness to the story, remaining optimistic despite learning darker things about the human world.

The singular entity known as Langdon/Eden records a solo episode continuing the long-promised series on Kazuo Ishiguro. This time around, they tackle "An Artist of the Floating World", Ishiguro's second novel and his attempt to tackle post-WWII Japan, masculinity, old age, honor, shame, and more!

Eugenijus Ališanka: Če, Janja Rakuš: Tri barve za eno smrt, Kazuo Ishiguro: Klara in sonce, Alen Širca: Želo pesmi. Recenzije so napisali Jure Jakob, Sašo Puljarević, Leonora Flis in Muanis Sinanović.

Piše Leonora Flis, bere Lidija Hartman. Nobelovec Kazuo Ishiguro je v romanu Klara in sonce ustvaril distopični svet (ne tako oddaljene) prihodnosti, v katerem se izgubljajo socialni stiki, ljudje so odtujeni drug od drugega. Otroci se šolajo doma in da lažje premagujejo dolgčas, jim starši kupujejo robote, humanoidne stroje, umetne prijatelje ali UP-je, kot jih imenuje avtor, ki se, kot to umetna inteligenca lahko počne, z interakcijami s človeško raso vedno bolj izpopolnjujejo in nadgrajujejo. Prazen svet, ki pa vseeno prikazuje razvoj prijateljstva med deklico Josie in njeno UP Klaro. Josie ima sicer tudi človeškega prijatelja Ricka, vendar je poudarek na vezi med deklico in robotko. Zgodbo pripoveduje Klara, zato je dikcija nekoliko nenavadna, stavčna struktura ni običajna, vendar ne toliko, da bi bilo to kakorkoli moteče za bralce in bralke. Prvoosebna pripovedovalka je v svoji naraciji dosledna, zaznaven pa je tudi njen razvoj in potek načina razmišljanja, ki pa je pravzaprav vedno usmerjen v nekakšno sprijaznjenost z usodo, torej s poglavitnim namenom njenega obstoja – služenjem človeški rasi. Kazua Ishigura v Sloveniji poznamo zlasti po prevedenih romanih Ostanki dneva, Ko smo bili sirote in Ne zapusti me nikdar. Roman Ostanki dneva preigrava odnos med gospodarji in služabniki, pokornimi, spoštljivimi služabniki in tistimi, ki vladajo, Ne zapusti me nikdar pa je prav tako kot Klara in sonce znanstvenofantastični, distopični roman. Ne nazadnje pa tudi roman Klara in sonce tematizira odnos med nadrejenimi in podrejenimi. Umetna inteligenca v romanu ima podobo robotov, katerih glavni namen je ustreči željam ljudi. Ishiguro razmišlja o razvoju umetne inteligence, vendar ne v smislu prevlade nad ljudmi, temveč pokornega služenja. Morda se je pri oblikovanju celostne podobe UP-jev nekoliko zgledoval po že obstoječih robotih na Japonskem, ki nosijo 3D maske pokojnih ljudi in govorijo z njihovim tonom glasu. To so roboti za žalovanje, uporabljajo jih za lajšanje procesa žalovanja pri ljudeh, ki so izgubili ljubljene. Klara, ki se hrani s sončno svetlobo, dolgo živi v trgovini z UP-ji, saj je nihče ne izbere. Žalostna in potrta je, ko pa jo končno izbere bolehna Josie, se ji odpre nov svet. Čeprav ni najnovejši model UP-ja, je hitro učljiva in pravzaprav bolj sočutna od večine ljudi v romanu. Ker je Josie vse bolj bolna, njena mama razmišlja o tem, da bi, v primeru dekličine smrti, njene misli, možgane, spomine, prenesla v Klaro. Klara ne oporeka, saj je njena naloga ubogati, vendar se stvari za Josie in Klaro vendarle odvijejo drugače. Ishiguro pretežno opisuje svet, kot ga vidi robotka. Seveda imamo vpogled tudi v razmišljanja Josie, Ricka, Josijine mame in očeta ter še nekaj stranskih oseb, ki začinijo zgodbo, vendar je temeljni poudarek na razsežnostih uma in čustev umetne inteligence. Gotovo gre za zelo aktualno tematiko, vendar romanu, sploh če upoštevamo njegovo dolžino (malo manj kot 400 strani), umanjka izvirnost pri razmišljanju o delovanju umetne inteligence. Roman je v izvirniku sicer izšel leta 2021, leto kasneje pa je širša skupnost spoznala chat GPT. Morda je težava v tem, da je slovenski prevod izšel leta 2023, ko smo se že nekoliko udomačili v ravnanju z umetno inteligenco in si nabrali precej informacij v zvezi z njenim delovanjem. Pač pa je roman Klara in sonce močan v slikanju odnosov med ljudmi in stroji ter v prikazu Klarinega mentalnega in čustvenega razvoja. Opozoriti velja še na to, da so v romanu ljudje bolj podobni strojem, roboti pa postajajo sočutni, humani, razmišljujoči. To je prihodnost, kot si jo je zamislil Ishiguro. Klarina predanost in ubogljivost pa na koncu nista poplačani, vsaj ne na način, kot bi morda pričakovali, a tudi v tej fazi svojega vnaprej začrtanega življenja, ni resignirana, saj, kot pravi, »ima spomine, ki jih lahko predeluje in jih razpostavlja v pravo zaporedje.« V tem smo si podobni. Ko ali če nam ne ostane nič drugega v življenju, nam vedno ostajajo spomini.

Diaty Diallo zeigt in «Zwei Sekunden brennende Luft» die Ausweglosigkeit in der Banlieue. R.C. Sherriffs «Zwei Wochen am Meer» schildert eine Suche nach Glück, die sich nicht in seelischen Belastungen verirrt. Und Kurt Martis «Die Riesin» macht das Erzählen selbst zu einem faszinierenden Irrgarten. Die Französin Diaty Diallo erzählt in ihrem hochaktuellen Debüt «Zwei Sekunden brennende Luft» von Jugendlichen, die in der Pariser Banlieue aufwachsen: Von Familie, Freundschaft und erster Liebe - aber auch von Perspektivlosigkeit, Krawall, Polizeigewalt und Tod. Diaty Diallo schreibe mit grosser Musikalität, sagt Annette König, die den Roman an den Literatur-Stammtisch mitbringt. Die Autorin habe eine grosse Begabung, Stimmungen, Gefühle und Orte einzufangen: «Ein kraftvolles Buch, das grosse Explosionskraft besitzt.» «Zwei Wochen am Meer» des Briten R.C. Sherriff stammt aus dem Jahr 1931. Der Roman geriet in Vergessenheit und wurde kürzlich vom britischen Nobelpreisträger Kazuo Ishiguro wiederentdeckt: Das Buch sei der lebensbejahendste Roman, den er kenne, sagt Ishiguro. «Zwei Wochen am Meer» erzählt von der Familie Stevens und ihren Ferien an der englischen Südküste. In der Geschichte geschieht nicht viel Ungewöhnliches, aber sie zeigt, wie fast jedes Vorhaben getragen ist von Hoffnungen, Befürchtungen und Idealvorstellungen. Gemäss Britta Spichiger verwebe der Roman voller Poesie scheinbar unbedeutende Situationen mit grossen Lebensfragen. Der 2017 verstorbene Berner Autor Kurt Marti war ein begnadeter Lyriker. Wie sehr er jedoch auch die längere Form beherrschte, bewies er mit seinem einzigen Roman «Die Riesin». Er schildert einen Bibliothekar, der sich auf die Suche nach einer Traumfigur macht und sich dabei in einem vertrackten Labyrinth wiederfindet. Der Roman erschien erstmals 1975. Der Autor hat diesen sprachlich experimentellen Text immer wieder überarbeitet. Nun erscheint er zum ersten Mal in seiner letzten Fassung. «Eine gute Gelegenheit, den grossen Schweizer neu zu entdecken», sagt Felix Münger. Buchhinweise: * Diaty Diallo.

In this episode, Lehua and Mekel dive into the mesmerizing world of "Heavenly Delusion" (Japanese: 天国大魔境, Hepburn: Tengoku Daimakyō), a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by the talented Masakazu Ishiguro. Serialized in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Monthly Afternoon since January 2018, this captivating series has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. Lehua and Mekel explore the intricate storyline of "Heavenly Delusion," which is divided into two compelling narratives. One follows the enigmatic characters Maru and Kiruko as they traverse a post-apocalyptic world, encountering challenges and uncovering mysteries along their journey. The other storyline focuses on a group of children residing in a mysterious school, each with their own secrets and discoveries waiting to be unveiled. Inspired by a manga Ishiguro read during his university years, "Heavenly Delusion" showcases the author's desire to create a distinct work that stands apart from his previous acclaimed series, "And Yet the Town Moves." Ishiguro aims to portray a proper dynamic between the two leads and delve into the depths of the evil they face, offering readers a truly immersive and thought-provoking experience.

We've noticed some pretty popular authors' names on screenplays for film and television. We're talking authors who've adapted their own work, adapted the work of others, as well as those who have written entirely new stories for screen. In this episode, we focus on screenplays written by authors we may not think of when we think of film. The Bookmark is your place to find your next great book. Each week, join regular readers Miranda Ericsson, Chris Blocker and Autumn Friedli along with other librarians as they discuss all the books you'll want to add to your reading list.

"Living" has had one of the most extended lives of any film this awards season, premiering all the way back at Sundance and then going on to also screen at Venice, Telluride and TIFF before opening in limited release a few days ago from Sony Pictures Classics. A remake of Akira Kurosawa's classic film "Ikiru," the film stars Bill Nighy in a rare showcase leading role for the respected British actor, which has generated Oscar buzz for his performance and Nobel Prize-winning writer Kazuo Ishiguro's screenplay. Ishiguro and director Oliver Hermanus were kind enough to spend some time with us talking about their work on the film, which you can listen to down below.

For our final episode of 2022, one of our most loyal customers dropped in for a festive chat: the sharp-suited national treasure, bookshop-haunter, and newly-Golden Globe-nominated actor, Bill Nighy. Bill kindly took time out for a busy schedule promoting his new film, 'Living,' to talk to us about working with Kazuo Ishiguro; his teenage dreams of literary stardom; his feelings about being known as "Mr. Christmas" following the success of 'Love Actually'; and his enduring affection for Hatchards. Thank you for listening to us throughout the year, happy holidays, and look out for much more from The Hatchards Podcast in 2023.

We've discussed how Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go both is and isn't about cloning. So what is it about? We talk this week about other concerns that come into play and how the vague nature of the novel might allow the reader to overlay such ethical conundrums. But is that asking too much of the reader? Why don't the students run away, and is that even a worthwhile question? What does this book have to do with race, entering the workforce, and cultural indoctrination? Also, Ishiguro clearly has something to say about art, but is it substantially different from Mandel's conclusion in Station Eleven? All that and more in this installment. For this series we will review and discuss Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders Oct 21 - Nov 4, Rodham by Curtis Sittenfeld Nov 11 - Nov 25th, and Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro Dec 2 - Dec 16.

A new film from an adapted screenplay by Kazuo Ishiguro, titled "Living," finds Bill Nighy as a 1950s civil servant who, after a fatal cancer diagnosis, endeavors to give his tedious life meaning. Nighy and Ishiguro join us to discuss the movie, which opens in theaters on December 23.

Singer Stacey Kent says she tends to be attracted to the “feeling of unrest,” and she thinks that her fans like to feel it too. Over the course of a 30 year career that has produced over 20 albums (including  including the Grammy-nominated Breakfast On The Morning Tram), Stacey has mined that feeling again and again in different ways.  Maybe she understands how to express the complicated emotions around identity, romance, displacement and longing because she has lived them so fully herself. Raised in New Jersey, Stacey moved to England for graduate school. Almost immediately she met saxophonist Jim Tomlinson and the two set out together to build a life both personal and professional.  As Stacey describes it, meeting Jim was a major inflection point in her life and it's clear that the relationship between the two is at the center of the story. Eventually, they befriended the Japanese born British novelist Kazuo Ishiguro, which has led to an ongoing creative partnership between Tomlinson and Ishiguro who compose original songs for Stacey's repertoire.  In this conversation, recorded on location at Ronnie Scott's jazz club in London we talk about why she's a fatalist, escaping from New Jersey and from the bounds of category, crossing borders (in many senses), and her latest release Songs From Other Places.

Escúchala aquí: https://bit.ly/dejarelmundoatras-audiolibroNarrado por: Julieth RestrepoAmanda y Clay se dirigen a un rincón remoto de Long Island con la idea de tomarse un descanso de su ajetreada vida en Nueva York: un respiro de fin de semana en una casa de lujo en compañía de su hijo y su hija. Sin embargo, el hechizo se rompe de madrugada, cuando Ruth y G. H., una pareja mayor, llama a la puerta: son los propietarios de la casa y se han presentado allí en estado de pánico con la noticia de que un apagón repentino ha barrido la ciudad. De repente, las dos familias empiezan a presenciar extraños fenómenos de la naturaleza, como una manada de ciervos que huye despavorida y siembra el caos en el jardín. La crítica ha dicho... «Una fábula hipnótica y adictiva con ecos de la angustiosa situación actual. [...] Escrita antes de que se desencadenara esta crisis sanitaria, ofrece muchas claves de este mundo pandémico.» El Periódico «Una historia hecha a medida para estos tiempos.»The Times «El mundo invisible y terrorífico de este libro recuerda a la sensación actual de alarma, en un planeta azotado por la pandemia.»The Financial Times «La novela de una época.»The Independent «Cautivadora [...].

​Discussion of adoptee 'othering' in literature and law: personal accounts, Frankenstein's creature, and Ireland's latest attempt at enabling access to birth records. Alice Diver (Lecturer, School of Law, QUB) in conversation with Professor Emily Hipchen (Editor of Adoption & Culture (adoptionandculture.org), Director of Nonfiction Writing, Senior Lecturer in English, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island ) about some of the themes underpinning her recent publication, “Monstrous Othering”: The Gothic Nature of Origin-Tracing in Law and Literature" (November, 2021). The session opens with a brief discussion of their own respective experiences as 'mother and baby home' adoptees in the U.S. and Canada in the 1960's, before turning to an analysis of how the particular adoptee brand of 'fearful otherness' is often represented -and indeed perpetuated - in certain works of fiction e.g. Shelley's 'Frankenstein,' Emily Bronte's 'Wuthering Heights', and Ishiguro's 'Never Let Me Go.' In respect of achieving meaningful reform to law and policy, language is key. Ireland's controversial Birth Information and Tracing Bill 2022 - currently being debated - has similarly served to highlight how certain lingering biases of mistrust still attach to the adoptees' need to search for origins and (potentially uncomfortable) familial truths. Discriminatory barriers to accessing one's own information - and to achieving some form of contact with genetic relatives - still exist: the use of labels also continues to matter, as the recent controversy over the use of the term 'birth mother' within the legislation (since amended to 'mother') also evidenced.

In this episode we examine the pride, the pain, and the double-edged nature of identification, exploring along the way: a difference in attitudes towards work; the influence of a working-class upbringing; a working-class perspective on work, and its conflicts with a middle-class perspective; the struggle to identify with professional roles; Aidan Wachter on identification as a magical technique; the liberating potential of identification and identification as a trap; my continuing identification with being working class; the imposition of identification; against the (classist) argument that education changes social class; working-class alienation from power and privilege; professional identity as a means of exploitation of the middle class; middle-class discontent; varieties of identification; identification as the mother of all defence mechanisms; Jacques Lacan on identification and "the mirror stage"; identification and the birth of the ego as captivation in an image; identification and ignorance; Kazuo Ishiguro's novel, Never Let Me Go, about some unusual students; Ishiguro's genius for depicting the limited understanding of his characters; the horror of the students' surrender to their fate; Ishiguro's novel as an analogy for the creation of social class; education as a means of ensuring docility; the film The Island (2005) as a Hollywood variation on the same theme; the fantasy of breaking out of an oppressive reality into another one; an annoying feature of The Matrix (1999); the impossibility of self-transformation; Plato's allegory of the cave; how the prisoners are conditioned to imprison themselves; Russell Brand on the décor of power; the social sense of "belonging" for the working and middle class; the ruling class at home in and beyond the law; shame and guilt as instruments of social control; the shift into identity politics and away from social class; identity politics in "heroic" and "tragic" modes; enduring shame and guilt; the escape from Plato's cave and what this might signify; a hope for a spiritual, anti-materialism as a future, defining philosophy for the Left.

Klara and the Sun, the eighth novel by Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro, was published in March 2021. Ishiguro is well-known for the combination of a subtle, understated style of narration, often delivered by unreliable and compromised narrators, with devastating revelations of ethical, political and emotional trauma. His new novel is no different: Klara and the Sun is set in a future near to ours, but which has made a few key advances in artificial intelligence and related biotechnologies; and the novel is narrated by an 'artificial friend', Klara. Klara's narrative reflects on the status of the human and its relationship to ecology, technology and ethics in a rapidly-changing world - and in the most intimate circumstances of lived experience. In this episode, leading Ishiguro scholars Yugin Teo (University of Bournemouth) and Dominic Dean (University of Sussex) are joined by Amelia DeFalco (University of Leeds), a researcher of posthumanism and ageing, to explore the ethical and political questions raised by Ishiguro's latest novel, and their relevance both for Ishiguro's work as a whole and for critical issues of our contested future.

Novelist Bram Presser and comparative literature academic Rebecca Suter join Kate and Cassie to talk about Kazuo Ishiguro's latest novel, Klara and the Sun, in light of all his other novels. And yes, the quality of light, shining down on this Artificial Friend - Robot Girl - is one of the many things at stake in this bookish discussion

We all have thoughts of the future. Some of us will only think of it in passing, but others will spend months or even years contemplating the endless possibilities. Kazuo Ishiguro's vision for the future, beautifully presented in his latest book, ‘Klara and the Sun,' shows an excellent level of thought and research. The British novelist presents an emotionally nuanced concept of what it means to be human or non-human. In this episode of Short and Sweet AI, I discuss Ishiguro's latest book and its depiction of robots and artificial intelligence. I also delve into what immortality could look like for humans – will it be robots in our future or something different? In this episode, find out: What Ishiguro got right and wrong about the future of robots and AI How Ishiguro depicts robots and the future of work The debate about immortality – robots vs. the cloud The ethical considerations of human-like robots Important Links & Mentions: https://drpepermd.com/podcast-2/ep-neuralink-update/ (Neuralink Update) https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/literature/2017/ishiguro/facts/ (The Nobel Prize: Kazuo Ishiguro) Resources: The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2021/04/kazuo-ishiguro-klara-and-the-sun/618083/ (The Radiant Inner Life of a Robot) Wired: https://www.wired.com/story/future-of-work-remembrance-lexi-pandell/ (The Future of Work: ‘Remembrance,' by Lexi Pandell) CNN International: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vybotERG0SU (Kazuo Ishiguro asks what it is to be human) Waterstones: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GJ7mrqo9nQ (Kazuo Ishiguro on Klara and the Sun) Episode Transcript: Hello to you who are curious about AI, I'm Dr. Peper. We all have thoughts about the future, some of us in passing and some spend months and years thinking about it. Kazuo Ishiguro's vision, beautifully presented in his latest book, Klara and the Sun, shows much thought and research. This British novelist presents emotionally nuanced concepts about what it means to be human and not human. I'm not an artificial intelligence expert nor a Nobel prizing winning author like Ishiguro. But I am someone who's fascinated by artificial intelligence and want people to understand what AI means for our future. From that perspective, I've identified three things Ishiguro got right, and two things I think he got wrong, in his new book Klara and the Sun.  First, his depiction of Klara, an artificial friend, or robot, meshes with my understanding of what robots will be like in the future. They will have the ability to understand and integrate information and read and understand human emotions. This ability will surpass the ability of the humans around them at times. With exposure to more human situations and more human observations, robots will increase and refine their emotional abilities. They'll have true feelings, not simulate them. The second thing Ishiguro gets right is the future of work. There will be substitutions of humans with machines as machines do more and more of the work. Humans will be displaced and just as in the novel, people will struggle to redefine their role in society and find new meaning. And the third thing that Ishiguro accurately writes about is the inequality created by those who choose and can afford to have gene-edited children, described as the lifted kids compared to the non-lifted kids, and those whose parents can't afford or choose not to have their children's genes edited before birth. I think this will be a real possibility in the near future. There will also be major inequalities in wealth, employment, and opportunity as depicted in the novel. But one thing that doesn't make sense is that Klara is able to learn and understand her surroundings so exceedingly well and yet make a very major wrong conclusion. In the book, Klara reasons that people, like robots, need the sun to sustain, nourish and heal them after she misinterprets one example. In the future, robots will have onboard...

From the acclaimed author of ESCAPE ROUTES, a bittersweet story of coming-of-age in a divided world, in the tradition of TIN MAN or BLACK SWAN GREEN. It's a lonely life for Stan, at a new school that feels more ordeal than fresh start, and at home where he and his mother struggle to break the silence after his father's death. When he encounters fearless, clever Charlie on the local common, all of that begins to change. Charlie's curiosity is infectious, and it is Charlie who teaches Stan, for the first time, to stand on his own two feet. But will their unit of two be strong enough to endure in a world that offers these boys such different prospects? The pair part ways, until their paths cross once again, as adults in London. Now Stan is revelling in all that the city has to offer, while Charlie seems to have hit a brick wall. He needs Stan's help, and above all his friendship, but is Stan really there for the man who once showed him the meaning of loyalty?

Í Víðsjá í dag verður meðal annars sagt frá nýjustu skáldsögu breska rithöfundarins Kazuo Ishiguro en hún kom út á dögunum og nefnist Klara and the Sun. Þetta er áttunda skáldsaga Ishiguros, og sú fyrsta sem hann sendir frá sér eftir að hann hlaut Nóbelsverðlaun í bókmenntum árið 2017. Bókin hefur nú þegar fengið frábæra dóma, gagnrýnendur tala um meistaraverk. Víðsjá hugar líka að argentínska tónskáldinu Astor Piazzolla en í vikunni verða hundrað á liðinn frá fæðingu hans. Olivier Manoury segir frá tónskáldinu en hann kemur fram á tónleikum með Kordo kvartettinum í Salnum í Kópavogi sem haldnir verða tónskáldinu til heiðurs. Snæbjörn Brynjarsson leiklistargagnrýnandi Víðsjár fjallar í dag um leiksýninguna Sunnefu sem leikhópurinn Svipir frumsýndi í leikstjórn Þórs Tulinius Tjarnarbíói í síðustu viku, en verkið fjallar um Sunnefu Jónsdóttur sem var tvisvar dæmd til dauða fyrir blóðskömm á fyrri hluta 18. aldar, en reis upp gegn yfirvaldinu. Og tónlistarhornið Heyrandi nær verður á sínum stað í Víðsjá á mánudegi, að þessu sinni beinir Arnljótir Sigurðsson stækkunarglerinu að hinu bandaríska, dúnmjúka og dáleiðandi bandi frá sjötta áratugnum, The Fleetwoods, hvers unaðstónar gáfu unglingum gæsahúðir fyrir sextíu árum síðan.

Dilemmas are rarely black-and-white. Here's what fictional characters can teach us about today's real-world quandaries.
