Döda är vi när alla hjärnfunktioner oåterkalleligt är borta. Men om hjärta och andning stannar kan man få en glimt. Över den funderar Jimmy Vulovic. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.En människa kämpar sig igenom dödsskräck, smärta och meningslöshet. Livet går. Det kommer en dotter, en son. Långt senare vilar en gammal döende hand i en yngre och för en kort stund får döden belysa livet. Att allas vårt oundvikliga slut bär livsinsiktens början i sig är sedan länge känt i skönlitteraturen. Ett av de mest gripande exemplen är Ivan Iljitjs död som Leo Tolstoj tecknar med mästerlig hand i en kortroman med samma namn från 1886. I den får vi följa hans liv av social och materialistisk ytlighet tillsammans med dottern, sonen och hustrun ända tills döden låter honom förstå den egentliga meningen. Även filosoferna är väl medvetna om allt det där. Livet kan enbart förstås baklänges men det måste levas framlänges, skriver Søren Kierkegaard i en notering från 1843. När man läser hans tanke högt låter den som en självklarhet, så pass självklar att dess innebörd ofta glöms bort. Ungefär som då vi i berättelser gång på gång låter oss överraskas av bra intrigvändningar. Vi vet ju alla att något kommer ske, något som förklarar allt som redan har varit. Det är en självklarhet. Ändå förvånas vi när det väl händer. Skönlitteratur liknar på det viset livet. Berättelser kräver också ett slut för att början och mitten ska fullbordas och förstås. Att läsa är därför som en övning i att leva och att dö.”Jag levde alltså mitt liv en gång till. Jag träffade människor jag inte ägnat en tanke på 50 år, jag visste vad de hette och vad de tänkte och vad jag tänkte.” Orden kommer från en man som var 74 år då han dog. Hjärtstillestånd. Kliniskt död men efter 1 minut och 40 sekunder återupplivades han av överläkaren Hans Zingmark som senare intervjuade mannen för en forskningsstudie om nära döden-upplevelser. Anders, som den avlidne kallas i studien, fortsätter: ”Hela mitt liv i detalj igen på 1 minut 40 sekunder – hur gick det till? Den sista dagen jag levde om, var när jag tittade på dig och mötte din blick.” Hans Zingmark kunde naturligtvis inte svara på hur det hade gått till. Ingen kan det. Men i studien ”Near-death experiences and the change of worldview in survivors of sudden caridac arrest”, som han 2022 skrev med Anetth Granberg Axèll, finns många andra svar. I den bekräftas nämligen på ett fascinerande sätt flera slutsatser från både tidigare forskning och från den beprövade livserfarenhet som kommer till uttryck i exempelvis skönlitteratur.Ett varmt sken och en härlig känsla av att nå en annan dimension är ett återkommande tema i de fyra djupintervjuer som studien bygger på. Ljuset beskrivs som livfullt, fritt från all ondska någonstans bortom vår fysiska verklighet. Tyvärr är det långt ifrån alla som får uppleva det, i alla fall om vi ska tro den tidigare forskning som säger att bara mellan 10 och 20 procent av dem som rycks ur dödens käftar återvänder med en nära döden-upplevelse. Så kanske stämmer det som en gång har sagts om att alla inte får gå samma väg. Förvåning förenar också återvändarna. Tre av studiens deltagare saknade då de dog all tro på en existens bortom det materiella livet, men alla fick bevittna motsatsen och då försvann även deras tidigare rädsla för döden. Ungefär som Ivan Iljitj då han alldeles i slutet av den smärtsamma dödskamp som han aldrig ska få återvända ifrån febrilt letar efter sin gamla dödsskräck. Men den är borta. Självcentreringen som präglat hela hans liv lämnar honom också. Då befrias han och döden finns inte längre. I romanen står det skrivet: ”Istället för döden var ljus. – Jaså, är det så! sade han plötsligt högt. Så härligt!”Trams, säger skeptikern. Det där är bara historier som det inte finns några bevis för alls, sådant som människan i årtusenden berättat för att finna tröst och moralisera om hur vi bör leva. Nu vet vi bättre. För nu tror vi på Vetenskapen där vi kan mäta saker och ting. Och det stämmer givetvis som skeptikern säger att människan länge har berättat om evigheten. Många har moraliserat också. För redan i den direkt från muserna åkallade historien om Odysseus irrfärder finns det ju faktiskt två vägar ut ur livet, en för de få till de ljusa elyseiska fälten och en in i Hades mörkerrike. I elfte sången närmar sig hjälten de döda i mörkret. Odysseus söker där råd om livet och siaren Teiresias berättar vad han måste göra för att kunna ta sig hem igen. Och av sin mor får han veta vad som har hänt på Ithaka sedan han lämnade ön för att strida vid Troja. Överväldigad av starka känslor öppnar han sin famn mot modern och ”tre gånger, såsom en dröm eller skuggbild, vek hon tillbaka”. Varför, mor? Hon svarar honom att ”likt en dröm fladdrar själen kring sen den övergett kroppen”. Och då förstår ju vem som helst att undflyende väsen av det slaget inte låter sig mätas.Det omätbara finns överallt. Av någon anledning finns exempelvis Ivan Iljitj i mig. Där är han tillsammans med många andra fiktiva personer som har berört mitt liv. Därinne bor också verkliga människor som jag har förlorat. De som för en kort stund plötsligt kan bli så levande igen, som om de när som helst skulle kunna komma in genom dörren eller kanske slå en signal, trots att de är döda. Alla är de omätbara men det gör inte känslan av dem osann. Och det finns mycket, även inom Vetenskapen, som vi antar finnas bara på grund av spåren det efterlämnar. Ingen har ju ännu sett eller direkt mätt varken DNA-strängens dubbelhelix eller universums mörka materia. Ändå tror vi på båda delarna. Då borde ju även de spår döden lämnar vara värt något, i både fiktionen och verkligheten. Ivan Iljitj ser med dödens hjälp meningslösheten i det ytliga liv han levt. Han fick ingen möjlighet att återvända för att förändra det. Deltagarna i studien fick dock dö med livet i behåll och deras lärdomar liknar det som litterära röster ur evigheten ofta berättat om. De återvände alla med insikter om börjans och mittens betydelse, förstod att värdera nära relationer mer än materiella ting. Livet blev mer levande efter döden. Samtidigt fylldes deras syn på det liv som vi alla just nu lever oss igenom av en stor tacksamhet och respekt. Om inte det är värdefull kunskap så säg.Jimmy Vuloviclitteraturforskare och författare

Audio from the 2024 Charleston Conference Leadership Interview Series. Meg White, Senior Consultant, Delta Think interviews Nancy Kopans, Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary, ITHAKA. Nancy joined JSTOR (now part of ITHAKA) 25 years ago, after a legal career focusing on internet law, and has witnessed the transformation of digital scholarship over the years. In this conversation, Nancy discusses her role at ITHAKA, the challenges currently facing higher ed and libraries such as budgetary pressures while adapting to evolving digital needs- making for complex resource allocation- and increased legal and compliance requirements. Nancy and Meg also discuss AI, Copyright, and Scholarly Publishing.

(01:30) De Nederlandse stichting ‘Christenen voor Israël' helpt kolonisten bij illegale bezetting op de Westelijke Jordaanoever. Dat bleek deze week uit onderzoek van Investico in samenwerking met BOOS. Het is een tekenend voorbeeld van Israël-steun vanuit de Nederlands christelijke hoek. En dat heeft een langere geschiedenis dan we denken. Het is terug te voeren naar de jonge Nederlandse Republiek, zo meent onze gast theoloog Janneke Stegeman.  (15:05) Poedelnaakt spoelt de gehavende Odysseus aan op de kiezelstranden van Ithaka, een openingsbeeld dat meteen de toon zet voor de nieuwe film The Return. Hoe wordt het verhaal van Odysseus in The Return verteld en wat is de aantrekkingskracht van dit eeuwenoude epos? Koen Vacano doet onderzoek naar de manier waarop de klassieke epische verhalentraditie doorwerkt in hedendaagse films. Hij is te gast. (27:00) Fresco Sam-Sin bespreekt drie historische boeken:  Voor vrouw en kind  - Tsila Rädecker  Uit liefde voor het lezen -  Irene Vallejo (vert. Adri Boon)    Door vrouwen gedragen  - Yvette Kopijn   (xx:xx) De grootvader van Maarten van Riel was een van de duizenden textielarbeiders die Tilburg rijk was. De stad was de spil van zijn bestaan, maar ook de plek waar hij een einde maakte aan zijn leven. In het boek Het verdriet van Tilburg schetst Van Riel de tragische geschiedenis van de Tilburgse textielindustrie, en hoe dat verband houdt met de dood van zijn grootvader. De auteur is te gast.   Meer info: https://www.vpro.nl/programmas/ovt/luister/afleveringen/2025/30-03-2025.html#  (https://www.vpro.nl/programmas/ovt/luister/afleveringen/2025/30-03-2025.html)

Poedelnaakt spoelt de gehavende Odysseus aan op de kiezelstranden van Ithaka, een openingsbeeld dat meteen de toon zet voor de nieuwe film The Return. Hoewel hij de oorlog heeft gewonnen, verloor Odysseus bijna al zijn mannen. Daarna duurt het nog meer dan tien jaar voordat hij eindelijk thuis zal komen. Odysseus wordt al duizenden jaren bewonderd als een mythologische held. Hoe wordt dit verhaal in The Return verteld en wat is de aantrekkingskracht van dit eeuwenoude epos? Koen Vacano doet onderzoek naar de manier waarop de klassieke epische verhalentraditie doorwerkt in hedendaagse films. Hij is te gast.

Kingmaker: Secrets, Lies, and the Truth about Five Prime Ministers (Ithaka, 2024) by Sir Graham Brady provides an insider's look at the power struggles, leadership challenges, and inner workings of the UK's Conservative Party, especially during the upheaval of Brexit. Brady, as Chairman of the influential 1922 Committee, reveals how the party's leadership dynamics and strategic decisions have shaped British politics in recent years. One of the central themes is leadership and power. Brady examines Conservative leaders like David Cameron, Theresa May, and Boris Johnson, exploring their unique approaches to leadership and the challenges each faced, particularly around Brexit. The book highlights the role of the 1922 Committee, which often acts as a gatekeeper in leadership transitions and plays a critical role in maintaining—or challenging—party unity. Brexit is a major focus, illustrating how the referendum and subsequent negotiations divided the party and redefined its priorities. Brady provides an inside look at the differing strategies of May and Johnson, from May's struggles to secure a deal to Johnson's assertive push to “Get Brexit Done.” The book also explores party unity and division, revealing how internal conflicts, factionalism, and ideological rifts tested the party's cohesion, especially during Brexit. Brady explains how these tensions influenced not only party policies but also public perception. Additionally, Brady shares personal reflections from his time in a key leadership position, offering readers a behind-the-scenes view of critical decisions and events. He also discusses the impact of media and public opinion, emphasizing how they shape the strategies and images of political leaders. Overall, Kingmaker provides a comprehensive view of the Conservative Party's recent history, giving readers a unique perspective on political leadership, the challenges of Brexit, and the often-hidden forces influencing British politics.

He was born to Muslim parents in Konitsa of Albania — the ancient region of Epirus. His father was a prominent ruler among the Muslims and a member of the Sufi order, sometimes called dervishes, a mystical Islamic sect. John himself became a prominent Sufi and settled in Joannina. Though not a Christian, he attended to his conscience and lived a sober and prayerful life.   Over time, he became increasingly attracted to the Christian faith and, in time, asked for holy Baptism. No Christian in his region dared to baptize him, knowing the reprisals that would follow. So John migrated to Ithaka, was baptized, and settled there in a village called Xiromeron, where he married and lived as a simple countryman. In 1813, John's father somehow learned where he was, and that he had become a Christian. He sent two Sufis to bring him back and restore him to the Muslim faith. Because of this, the Ottoman authorities on Ithaka learned who he was and brought him before a judge. To each of the judge's questions John would only reply 'I am a Christian and I am called John.'   Realizing that no amount of persuasion or coercion would move him, the authorities determined to behead him. At his execution, since they would not loose his hands so that he could make the sign of the Cross, John cried out 'Lord, Remember me when Thou comest into Thy Kingdom!' With these words he submitted himself to a Martyr's end. The Turks intended to leave his body for the dogs, but pious Christians retrieved it and secretly gave it honorable burial.

Audio from the 2023 Charleston Conference from the session titled: Understanding the Impact on Print Revenues When University Press Books are Open Access presented by Erich van Rijn, Director, University of California Press; Laura Brown, Ithaka, John Sherer, University of North Carolina Press; and Miranda Bennett, Director of Shared Collections, California Digital Library.  In February 2022, the National Endowment for the Humanities awarded the Association of University Presses (in partnership with Ithaka S+R) a grant to study the impact of open access books on the sales of print books. While there is a prevailing desire among members of the Association of University Presses (AUPresses) to do more OA publishing, presses cite long-term, sustainable funding models as the top problem in implementing OA strategies, and the sale of print books remains a critical cost-recovery mechanism even for open access titles.  In this session they will share both an overview of the results and key findings of the data collected from university presses as well as some perspectives from one of the participating publishers, and project co-Principal Investigator, and a collections librarian.  They will also share perspectives on what impact we feel the data will have on publishing programs, library collections, and open access strategies.

Today’s episode is a little different than other episodes and I thought it was a valuable topic to talk about: freedom of speech. In today’s episode, I’ll be speaking with Gabriel Shipton, brother of renowned journalist and founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange. Gabriel is a passionate advocate for environmental protection, human rights, and press freedom. Growing up in a family deeply committed to these values, Gabriel was inspired to dedicate his life to making a positive impact on the world. He is a film producer on Ithaka and Fara. We talk about the following and so much more: ✅What inspired Julian to found WikiLeaks, and his goals when creating the organization ✅The legal battle surrounding Julian’s extradition to the United States and how he has coped ✅ His thoughts on the broader implications of his case for press freedom and the protection of journalists and whistleblowers ✅ How he views the role of WikiLeaks in promoting government transparency and accountability ✅ How he responss to the criticism that WikiLeaks actions poses risks to national security ✅ What the future is for national security journalism and freedom of speech If you’d like to join the waitlist for my next coaching program, sign up @ www.InnerKnowingSchool.com Please tag us and tell us what you loved!

Homeros episka diktverk Odysséen är ett av de mest kända litterära verken som bevarats från antiken. Det förtäljer historien om den grekiske hjälten Odysseus hemfärd efter det trojanska krigets slut. Vägen hem till Ithaka skulle komma att bli både utdragen och full av faror och utmaningar. Samtidigt utspelar sig ett drama hemma i Odysseus palats, där hans hustru Penelope och son Telemachos finner sitt hem invaderat av män som vill åt Penelopes hand i äktenskap. Hosted on Acast.

Today's poem is Ithaka by C.P. Cavafy.The Slowdown is your daily poetry ritual. In this episode, Major writes… “Harvard, Illinois is among a host of American cities and towns named for locales with more illustrious histories and associations: Paris, Texas; Rome, Maine; Athens, Georgia; Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Today's poem makes me think, first, of the city in upstate New York where some of my favorite poets reside. But it takes me next to that birthplace of Odysseus and that symbol of home, an emblematic journey by which we all must psychologically return.” Celebrate the power of poems with a gift to The Slowdown today.

Though not a Christian, he attended to his conscience and lived a sober and prayerful life.   Over time, he became increasingly attracted to the Christian faith and, in time, asked for holy Baptism. No Christian in his region dared to baptize him, knowing the reprisals that would follow. So John migrated to Ithaka, was baptized, and settled there in a village called Xiromeron, where he married and lived as a simple countryman. In 1813, John's father somehow learned where he was, and that he had become a Christian. He sent two Sufis to bring him back and restore him to the Muslim faith. Because of this, the Ottoman authorities on Ithaka learned who he was and brought him before a judge. To each of the judge's questions John would only reply 'I am a Christian and I am called John.'   Realizing that no amount of persuasion or coercion would move him, the authorities determined to behead him. At his execution, since they would not loose his hands so that he could make the sign of the Cross, John cried out 'Lord, Remember me when Thou comest into Thy Kingdom!' With these words he submitted himself to a Martyr's end. The Turks intended to leave his body for the dogs, but pious Christians retrieved it and secretly gave it honorable burial.

The Poem Ithaca by Constantine Cavafy:  Since Homer's Odyssey, Ithaca symbolizes the destination of a long journey, the supreme aim that every man tries to fulfill all his life long, the sweet homeland, the eternal calmness, and satisfaction. Many artists and literary people have been inspired by this interpretation of Homer's poem and have given to this small island of the Ionian Sea a special sense. Famous poets have been inspired by Ithaca and have used its name metaphorically on their works. The most famous poem about Ithaca has been written by the renowned Greek poet Constantine Cavafy and is entitled "Ithaka". There he makes an allusion of the legendary journey of Ulysses to the journey of every man through life and suggests that each person is looking for his own Ithaca, his personal supreme gaol.  However, in the end, it is not the goal but the journey that matters, because this journey makes us wise and gives people the richest good: experience, knowledge, and maturity. This poem was written in 1911 and has been translated into many languages since then. Its lyric words and message are touching. Text courtesy of Greeka.com

The addition of the suffix "-ies" (or in the singular form, "-y") converts the word into a diminutive. Literally: "little pants." .... In fact, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, the first known use of "panties" is from a 1908 set of instructions for making doll clothes." Read the rest of the article here. 

John and Gabriel Shipton discuss their gripping documentary, Ithaka, which chronicles the unrelenting struggle to free WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, their son and brother, from a high-security prison in Britain for his part in releasing classified US government files to the public.

Stella Assange is the wife of Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, a whistle-blowing platform that publishes classified material provided by anonymous sources. He is currently being held in Belmarsh Prison pending extradition to the US, where he is wanted for 18 criminal charges related to obtaining and publishing classified information. Stella is leading a campaign to fight his extradition, which has been depicted in a new documentary, Ithaka. She tells Nuala why she thinks Julian should be released, how they first met and the impact of the campaign on their two young children. Award-winning comedian Zoe Lyons tells Nuala about her ‘monumental' midlife crisis. It involved buying a sports car, having a brief marital separation and running a 100k ultra marathon… badly. Along the way, her hair started to fall out. Thankfully, Zoe has been able to explore the funny side and create her stand-up show Bald Ambition. Nurses are set to be given body-worn cameras in a crackdown on hospital sexual assaults under new government plans. A recent report published by The Women's Rights Network revealed that thousands of sex attacks have been reported in hospitals across England and Wales in the past 4 years. Nuala is joined by Heather Binning, Founder of The Women's Rights Network, and Catriona Rubens, a solicitor at human rights law firm Leigh Day. Dr Lil Stevens recently found out that her grandfather, Captain Leicester Stevens, had taken part in an expedition to find a dinosaur in the rainforests of the Congo known as the Congo 'thunder lizard' (later dismissed as a hoax) following World War 1. Lil, who works at a palaeontologist, has dedicated her career to studying fossils and was amazed to discover the family connection. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Lucinda Montefiore

https://youtu.be/oyekPpdjAaUhttps://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/Assange:9cJulian Assange, creator of Wikileaks, is an activist who has dedicated his life to exposing the lies and corruption of some of the most powerful governments on earth. He's been honored with countless prestigious journalism awards, yet he languishes in prison under horrendous conditions, vilified as an enemy of the state. It's hard for the average person to know what to think about Assange, because for over a decade his actions have been shrouded in a fog of conflicting narratives and media portrayals -- That is by design.In this video we'll expose 6 lies about Assange that have been deliberately used to distract us from what is one of the most important precedent-setting cases for freedom of speech of our generation. If there's one thing you should take away from this, it's that most of what you think you know about Assange is false.00:00 Intro03:03 Recap of Assange's Case05:40 Lie #1: Unredacted Document Dump09:19 Lie #2: People Were Hurt10:49 Lie #3: Hacked into Government Computers16:10 Lie #4: Not a Real Journalist16:48 Lie #5: “He'll Be Safe”17:55 Lie #6: Reasons for Leaving the Embassy20:50 Assange is a Political Prisoner21:44 Journalism is in Jeopardy22:46 What Can You Do?This case represents a critical juncture for the future of press freedom. It doesn't matter whether you like Assange or not, or whether you've bought into the mainstream narratives against him. You should be very worried about the fate of journalism around the world. It is time to recognize the stakes at hand and demand an end to this ordeal. Free Assange, and in doing so, protect the future of press freedom.Special thanks to Assange's Father and Brother, John and Gabriel Shipton, for their fight.

Julian Assange is controversial. Is he a hacker terrorist, a journalist, a seditionist guilty of espionage, or someone who was trying to do the right thing? Join us on this edition of Just Ask The Question as we speak with documentary film producer Gabriel Shipton about his new documentary "Ithaka." On this episode of JATQ.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This April will mark four years since Julian Assange was forcefully removed from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he had been granted asylum, and jailed in Belmarsh Prison. Assange, whose health is declining, is being persecuted for being a publisher who made leaked material available to the public through Wikileaks. The materials, which exposed war crimes and corruption, were reported on by major media outlets around the world. The Biden administration could free Assange immediately by dropping the charges made by the Trump administration. Clearing the FOG speaks with Gabriel Shipton, Assange's brother, who is starting a US tour with his father, John Shipton, at the end of the month to show his documentary, Ithaka, and call on President Biden to act. The film provides an intimate view of Assange's family's fight to free him. For more information, visit PopularResistance.org.

He was born to Muslim parents in Konitsa of Albania — the ancient region of Epirus. His father was a prominent ruler among the Muslims and a member of the Sufi order, sometimes called dervishes, a mystical Islamic sect. John himself became a prominent Sufi and settled in Joannina. Though not a Christian, he attended to his conscience and lived a sober and prayerful life.   Over time, he became increasingly attracted to the Christian faith and, in time, asked for holy Baptism. No Christian in his region dared to baptize him, knowing the reprisals that would follow. So John migrated to Ithaka, was baptized, and settled there in a village called Xiromeron, where he married and lived as a simple countryman. In 1813, John's father somehow learned where he was, and that he had become a Christian. He sent two Sufis to bring him back and restore him to the Muslim faith. Because of this, the Ottoman authorities on Ithaka learned who he was and brought him before a judge. To each of the judge's questions John would only reply 'I am a Christian and I am called John.'   Realizing that no amount of persuasion or coercion would move him, the authorities determined to behead him. At his execution, since they would not loose his hands so that he could make the sign of the Cross, John cried out 'Lord, Remember me when Thou comest into Thy Kingdom!' With these words he submitted himself to a Martyr's end. The Turks intended to leave his body for the dogs, but pious Christians retrieved it and secretly gave it honorable burial.
