If you think James Joyce's Finnegans Wake is hard to decipher, try the Voynich Manuscript!Excerpts from Voynich ReconsideredThe parchment for these four folios was most probably produced sometime in the first half of the fourteenth century.Who wrote the Voynich Manuscript?Nobody knows. Edwards debunks the idea that Roger Bacon authored it:D'Imperio devoted considerable effort to the study of the supposed link between the manuscript and Roger Bacon. She could not have known that the Voynich parchment would eventually be submitted to radiocarbon technology and that the samples would be dated, with up to 92 percent probability, to periods ranging between 1308 and 1458. Therefore, she could not have known that Bacon, who lived in the thirteenth century, would be excluded as the author of the manuscript, or at least as its producer or as one of its scribes.Is the Voynich Manuscript a hoax?Before we embark on our own voyage of investigation of the Voynich manuscript, we must consider the alarming possibility that it is a journey to nowhere. That is to say: it may be that the manuscript cannot be translated or deciphered because it has no intrinsic meaning. For want of better words, we must consider that the manuscript could be a hoax or a forgery.What's the Voynich Manuscript about?There is an “herbal” section, consisting of 129 pages and thereby comprising more than half of the book.The astronomical, cosmological, and astrological sections are short. Edwards is “tempted to group them together into a ‘cosmic' theme, occupying thirty-one pages.”The Voynich manuscript invites, for those who are so disposed, the insertion of a preconceived narrative. In this respect, it bears comparison with the notorious proliferation of narratives relating to the man who came to be known as D.B. Cooper, and his hijacking of Northwest Airlines Flight 305 on November 24, 1971.Do we know what the Voynich Manuscript's message is?For many years, the mission controllers at NASA resisted demands for another photographic targeting of the “Face. ” Finally, they relented. In 2001, the Mars Global Surveyor took the first new image of the object, at a much higher resolution than that of the Viking. It was revealed to be an eroded mesa with a pleasing symmetry, and certainly with gulleys and hollows that conveyed elements of a human face. Whether that is the end of the story, the reader may decide. This author is content for the mesa to be the product of erosion, by wind or by water, and not the work of ancient Martians, however much we would like it to be so. Likewise, determined researchers of the Voynich manuscript can find, within its cryptic and inscrutable pages, that which they wish to findConclusionI loved Dr. Edwards's other two books (Mallory & Cooper). Although I liked this one about the Voynich manuscript, it's such an inscrutable and inaccessible document that I found it challenging to stay engaged.Moreover, I don't understand why some people believe that old documents are worth much more than their historical value. Religious texts are helpful because they reveal the values and ideas of the past, but are often utterly wrong, especially when it comes to scientific facts. Even when they're not mistaken, they're often incomplete. A modern botanist knows far more about plants than a 14th-century writer.Some fans of the Voynich manuscript seem to believe that if we can somehow decode it, we'll learn a mind-bending revelation. I doubt it.Other fans, including Dr. Edwards, find the Voynich manuscript fascinating for the same reason people are drawn to Sudoku or a crossword puzzle: it's fun to solve a mystery even if it yields little practical benefit.If you're drawn to puzzles and the Voynich manuscript, you must buy the Voynich Manuscript and then read Voynich Reconsidered: The Most Mysterious Manuscript in the World. You're guaranteed to learn countless remarkable facts about the manuscript in Dr. Edwards's splendid and thorough analysis.For others, I'd first start by reading Dr. Edwards's other two books, which are more accessible than this one.Verdict: 7 out of 10 stars.ConnectSend me an anonymous voicemail at SpeakPipe.com/FTaponYou can post comments, ask questions, and sign up for my newsletter at https://wanderlearn.comIf you like this podcast, subscribe and share!On social media, my username is always FTapon.

This week Graham takes Joe on an inexplicable journey through Richard Kelly's Southland Tales, a film about porn stars, an amnesiac actor, the Book of Revelations, and so many other goddamn things that this could turn into a James Joyce-esque description if we hit each beat. So buckle up for opinions as divergent as Dwayne Johnson's acting abilities and get ready for some Fluid Karma as we try and parse through the madness of this sci-fi/action/drama/politcal satire from 2006. Will Joe be Left Behind or will he accept his role in all of the whirling chaos? Tune in to find out!

100 Jahre Schweizer Hörspiel. Das Hörspiel zeigt, wie Weltliteratur zum Klingen gebracht, zum Leben erweckt werden kann jenseits von einem einfachen Hörbuch. Das Hörspiel erzählt das sechste Kapitel von James Joyces «Ulysses» neu: Und zeigt den Menschen angesichts der Absurdität des Todes. Wer das Hörspiel am Radio hören will:  Samstag, 27.09.2025, 20.00 Uhr, Radio SRF 2 Kultur Der Anzeigenmakler Leopold Bloom besteigt in Dublin mit anderen Trauergästen eine Kutsche und fährt zum Friedhof. Ein Bekannter ist gestorben, und es gilt, ihm die letzte Ehre zu erweisen. Während das Gespräch der Gäste in eine makabere Mischung aus Trauer und schwarzem Humor abgleitet, versinkt Bloom in seine Gedanken. Er hängt den leid- und lustvollen Seiten seines eigenen Lebens nach. Das Hörspiel handelt von der Hilflosigkeit und Verlorenheit des Menschen angesichts der Absurdität des Todes und entspricht dem Abstieg des homerischen Odysseus in den Hades. Der Roman «Ulysses» von James Joyce wird als Wegbereiter der Moderne angesehen. Der Dubliner Dichter beschreibt die Odyssee eines Tages im Leben Blooms, des Juden, der mit einer Nichtjüdin verheiratet ist und dessen einziger Sohn ganz jung gestorben ist. Das Werk ist in achtzehn Kapitel eingeteilt, die in symbolhafter Beziehung zu bestimmten Gesängen der homerischen Odyssee stehen. Joyce hat den besungenen Tag auf den 16. Juni 1904 festgelegt und damit das Datum seines ersten Spazierganges mit seiner späteren Frau Nora Barnacle verewigt. ____________________ Mit: Wolfgang Reichmann (Leopold Bloom), Wolfgang Schwarz (Martin Cunningham), Peter Ehrlich (Tom Power), Ingold Wildenauer (Simon Dädalus) ____________________ Tontechnik: Aldo Gardini – Regie: Matthias von Spallart ____________________ Produktion: SRF 1977 ____________________ Dauer: 47'

Akribisch hat Werner Schmidt alle Farben, die in dem über 900 Seiten starken Buch vorkommen, herausgesucht, gruppiert und dadurch auch neue Interpretationsschichten offengelegt. Auf diesem langen Weg hat er viele andere Joyce-Expert*innen und Wissenschaftler*innen kennengelernt, die diesem Werk der Weltliteratur verfallen sind. Mit ihnen gemeinsam hat er jetzt das Künstlerbuch „James Joyce und die Farben des Ulysses“ herausgebracht.

Susan Brown is a professional editor, writing coach, and book doctor. She's had forty years of teaching college creative writing and book editing, and has guided dozens of books into print as an editor, and as a writing coach.My friend Jeff Moran in Woodstock had previously mentioned Susan to me, and so I was intrigued when I heard that Susan was going to run a five week online writing workshop called “The Secrets of the Great Writers”.Jeff had told me that Susan was a James Joyce scholar.  That was a little bit intimidating, but also immediately credentializing. I've appreciated a number of books on writing, by Stephen King, George Saunders, Anne Lamotte, Mary Karr and others, and thought it might also be instructive, and interesting, to be part of a writing workshop, so I signed up for Susan's class. I learned a lot in the workshop, we had a terrific group of very talented fiction and memoir writers in the class, and it was a lot of fun. ​One of the dozens of sources Susan identified for us during the workshop was a book called Hit Lit - Cracking the Code of the 20th Century's Biggest Bestsellers, by James Hall. In his book, Hall identifies the features common to the biggest bestsellers of all time. Susan and I discussed her Secrets of the Great Writers Workshop. Susan actually conducted an abbreviated Workshop on the Air. We discussed Hall's Hit Lit and we discussed Ulysses. We discussed storytelling. I loved this discussion.The books examined in Hit-Lit, many of which are referred to in our discussion.Gone with the Wind*Peyton PlaceTo Kill a Mockingbird*Valley of the DollsThe Godfather*The ExorcistJawsThe Dead ZoneThe Hunt for Red October*The Firm*The Bridges of Madison County; andThe Da Vinci Code**I've read these.Some of the other books referred to by Susan:Moby DickThe Scarlet Letter The LighthouseSound and the FuryThe Lincoln LawyerBlack Cherry BluesGone Baby GonePride and PrejudiceLet the Great World Spin Madame BovaryThe Glass CastleAngela's AshesWildCatcher in the RyeLolitaUlyssesI encouraged Susan to run a class guiding us through Ulysses!

I, for one, think geese really do have souls.Topics in this episode include librarian Thomas Lyster and his Quaker faith, why Lyster always seems to be dancing in “Scylla and Charybdis,” the journal of Quaker founder George Fox, what James Joyce knew about the Quakerism, Christfox, leather trews, confusing Shakespeare and George Fox in the context of “Scylla and Charybdis,” whether or not women have souls, George Fox traveling about debating people about religion, Stephen's jealousy of spiritual leaders who attract women, Anne Hathaway at the end of her life, the real Thomas Lyster, how the real Lyster compares to the Ulysses version, what “baldpink lollard costard” means, and the extremely petty reason Joyce wrote Lyster the way he did.Support us on Patreon to access episodes early, bonus content, and a video version of our podcast. On the Blog:Decoding Dedalus: Christfox in Leather TrewsBlooms & Barnacles Social Media:Facebook | BlueSky | InstagramSubscribe to Blooms & Barnacles:Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube

‘From Waterloo Station to the small country town of Ramsgard in Dorset is a journey of not more than three or four hours, but having by good luck found a compartment to himself, Wolf Solent was able to indulge in such an orgy of concentrated thought, that these three or four hours lengthened themselves out into something beyond all human measurement.' We rejoin Sally this week in conversation with the producer, James Bowen, discussing how to navigate, and ultimately teach, ‘difficult' literature, drawing on John Cooper Powys' Wolf Solent (1929) and James Joyce's Ulysses (1922). Listen for a discussion of ambiguity, pedagogy, and the role of the author in narrative resolution. More information on Powys can be found here. Sally's fable, Worm in the Bud, will be published in November of this year by The New Menard Press. It will be available from all good booksellers. You can also find out more about James and his work here. This episode was edited and produced by James Bowen. Special thanks to Andrew Smith, Violet Henderson, Kris Dyer, and Maeve Magnus.

Obelisk och Olympia press gav ut böcker ingen annan vågade röra. Några blev odödliga klassiker. Gabriella Håkansson berättar den vilda historien om Parisförlagen som förändrade litteraturhistorien. 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. Först publicerad 2017. William S Burroughs, Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet, Henry Miller och James Joyce: alla har de en sak gemensamt – de har publicerat sig på ett obskyrt litet förlag i Paris, som under 1950-talet gav ut engelskspråkig litteratur i små gröna pocketböcker i serien ”Traveller's Companion”. Bakom den gemytliga rubriken dolde sig all den litteratur som inga andra förlag i Europa eller USA ville ta i med tång, av rädsla för att bli stämda. Allt började med att den brittiske dandyn Jack Kahane 1914 trampade på en landmina i Ypern (Ieper) i Belgien och entledigades från sin krigstjänstgöring. Under konvalescensen träffade han sin fru, fransyskan Marcelle Girodias, flyttade till Paris och började skriva böcker. Kahanes produktion var medelmåttig och innehöll lite för många erotiska anspelningar för att de engelska biblioteken skulle känna sig bekväma, så böckerna plockades bort och han fick dåligt rykte. Samtidigt började romanerna efterfrågas i bokhandeln. Kahane fick en insikt. Minsta inslag av erotik och den mest mediokra bok börjar sälja. I USA och England rådde fortfarande ålderdomliga censurlagar som satte stopp för allt som uppfattades som moraliskt eller erotiskt utmanande, men i Frankrike var situationen en annan, och nu hade Kahane fått en affärsidé. Han registrerade en fransk firma under namnet Obelisk Press och hyrde sunkig kontorslokal på vänstra stranden, nu gällde det bara att hitta sexuellt frispråkiga författare. Det var lättare sagt än gjort. I slutet av 20-talet kontaktar Kahane Sylvia Beach på bokhandeln Shakespeare & Co och får henne att förmedla kontakt med James Joyce, som några år tidigare gjort skandalsuccé på hennes förlag med den frispråkiga ”Ulysses”. Hade Joyce möjligen något mer som kunde publiceras? Det hade han. Experimentboken ”Haveth Childers Everywhere” blev Kahanes första framgångsrika publikation, snabbt åtföljd av Radcliffe Halls lesbiska roman ”Ensamhetens brunn”, som precis blivit förbjuden i England. Även D H Lawrences indragna ”Lady Chatterley's älskare” lades till på utgivningslistan, och nu rullade det på. Kahane fick snabbt rykte om sig att ge ut sånt som ingen annan vågade publicera, och snart köade folk utanför kontoret. Först ut var en helt okänd författare som hette Henry Miller och hade skrivit en bok med en titel som lät som något som handlade om cancer. Det var ”Kräftans vändkrets”. Snart hade även hans vänner Anaïs Nin och Lawrence Durrell fått manus antagna och Kahane var på banan, men när ”Kräftans vändkrets” efter många turer väl skulle ut, ja, då hade Kahane slut på pengar. Ett mönster som skulle komma att upprepa sig. Anaïs Nin visade handlingskraft och finansierade via sin psykoanalytiker Otto Rank trycket av både Millers och Durrells böcker. Som en gentjänst betalade sedan Durrell tryckningen av hennes bok ”Incest”. Sedan hann inte Kahane ge ut mer. Han dog oväntat 1939 vid bara 52-års ålder. Och med det kunde allt ha tagit slut. Det gjorde det inte. Hans 27-årige son Maurice Girodias hade hjälpt pappa på förlaget sedan han var liten, och när andra världskriget var över bestämde han sig för att blåsa liv i verksamheten igen. Nu skulle kampen för den sexuella frispråkigheten stegras ytterligare. Han började med att byta förlagsnamn till Olympia Press och kontaktade sedan faderns gamla författare för att sondera terrängen. Miller skickar in ”Plexus” men sedan var det stopp, så Girodias låter översätta alla franska erotiska böcker han hittar; Genet, Apollinaire, de Sade, Bataille, Queaneau, Reage men det räcker inte, läsarna går inte igång på litterär erotika, de vill ha hederlig porr som kan läsas med vänsterhanden. Girodias gör nu ett genidrag. Han kontaktar klicken kring avantagardetidskriften Merlin som som var de som hade översatt de franska erotiska böckerna, och frågar om de kan tänka sig att börja skriva pornografi istället. Naturligtvis under pseudonym, och gärna med lite kinky inslag. På så vis skulle de kunna finansiera sin tidskrift. Det vill de gärna. Merlin består av ett gäng jazzdansande, amfetaminsnortande utlänningar av båda könen, ledda av författaren Alexander Trocchi och finansierade av amerikanskan Jane Lougee. Kvinnor som män tar sig an uppgiften med förtjusning, och nu börjar Olympia Press glanstid. Merlin flyttar in på kontoret och redaktionen blir förlagets hårda kärna av redaktörer, sekreterare, korrekturläsare och allmänna hangaroaunds. Ur tryckpressarna spottas heta titlar som ”Tender was my flesh” och ”The Loins of Amon”. Olympia Press billiga gröna pocketböcker förses med myndigheternas varning att de inte får säljas i England eller USA, och sprids sedan till turister, matroser, soldater och pornografer som smugglar dem över gränserna en masse. Inkomsterna flödar, men Girodias är ännu värre än sin far vad gäller det ekonomiska. Han vägrar skriva kontrakt och betalar ut royalties lite när det passar. Författarna får köa utanför hans kontor när han är på gott humör, och hoppas på det bästa. Inte heller för han bok över hur många utgåvor han trycker. Ibland ger han ut en censurerad version för bokhandeln, och en annan för illegal spridning. Allt detta fungerar till en början väl med Merlins glada pornografer, men det går inte med riktiga författare som J.P. Donleavy och Vladimir Nabokov. De rasar och drar honom inför rätta. Inte heller går det att betala skatt med vänsterhanden. Bara några år in på det nya äventyret är Maurice Girodias skuldsatt, belånad och åtalad för såväl brott mot obscenitetslagarna som obetalda royalties. Och så här håller det på. Mygel, skulder, porr, åtal – allt i en eskalerande spiral, tills Girodias mot slutet av sextiotalet tröttnar på myndigheternas hetsjakt och författarnas pengatjat, och flyttar till USA för att starta ett amerikanskt Olympia Press. Där går det ännu sämre. Valerie Solanas, som författaren heter, går tre kvarter bort och skjuter Andy Warhol istället. Förläggaren som hela sitt liv bekämpat censuren verkar ha grävt sin egen grav. Den nya tidens libertiner behövde inte längre hans förlag, och när han 1968 struntar i att publicera en av sina nya författare som det är bestämt, så går hon upp på kontoret för att skjuta honom. Girodias är inte på plats och Valerie Solanas, som författaren heter, går tre kvarter bort och skjuter Andy Warhol istället. Girodias är inte sen att utnyttja publiciteten och får snabbt iväg SCUM-manifestet till tryck, det blir hans sista viktiga utgivning, innan allt går utför i ett träsk av hårdporr, scientologi och boxningsböcker. Hans livshistoria kan låta tragisk, men den ledde faktiskt fram till en av 1900-talets stora landvinningar: avskaffandet av censuren. De många och långa rättsprocesserna Girodias drogs inför och tappert utkämpade blev prejudicerande, och satte stopp för en puritanism som präglat bokbranschen i flera hundra år. Vi har familjen Kahane/Girodias att tacka för den frihet litteraturen åtnjuter idag. Och för att banbrytande böcker som Millers ”Kräftans vändkrets”, Burroughs ”Den nakna lunchen”, Trocchis ”Young Adam” och Nabokovs ”Lolita” överhuvudtaget kom i tryck. Och de gröna pocketböckerna som på 50-talet kostade några kronor när de kom ut, betingar idag skyhöga priser på den antikvariska marknaden.

Pourquoi le meilleur roman du 20ème siècle est-il aussi le plus difficile à lire ? Merci d'avoir posé la question ! C'est un nom qui fait frissonner les lecteurs. Qui attise la curiosité en même temps qu'il impressionne. Ulysse. Pas celui de la mythologie grecque, mais celui du livre de James Joyce, poète et romancier irlandais. Pourquoi ce titre dégage-t-il cette aura unique ? Car lire Ulysse est un véritable défi. Pourtant, à l'orée des années 2000, son auteur fut jugé comme le plus grand romancier du 20ème siècle, en partie pour Ulysse, cité comme son meilleur travail - certains de ses confrères parlant même du meilleur roman de tous les temps. Mais de quoi ça parle ? Et qu'est-ce qui le rend si difficile à lire ? ⁠Ecoutez la suite dans cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez - Culture". ⁠ Un podcast écrit et réalisé par Jonathan Aupart.

️ La Teoría de la Mente – Episodio: “Fracasa mejor” Hoy exploramos una de esas frases que pueden cambiar nuestra perspectiva sobre el fracaso, la resiliencia y el sentido profundo de seguir intentándolo: "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." Una frase de Samuel Beckett que, lejos de ser un simple eslogan motivacional, nos habla desde un lugar más oscuro, honesto y humano sobre lo que significa sentirse insuficiente y seguir adelante a pesar de todo. En este episodio reflexionamos sobre la biografía del propio Beckett —discípulo de James Joyce, ignorado durante años, resistente durante la guerra y creador de obras inmortales como Esperando a Godot— y cómo su historia personal impregna ese lema tan malinterpretado por el mundo del emprendimiento. ¿Realmente "fracasar mejor" es un peldaño hacia el éxito, como nos vende Silicon Valley? ¿O es más bien una invitación a convivir con nuestras grietas, a no ocultar los pedazos rotos, sino a integrarlos como parte de lo que somos? Descubriremos el origen etimológico de la palabra fracaso, viajaremos al universo del kintsugi japonés (el arte de reparar con oro) y reflexionaremos sobre cómo nuestras propias roturas pueden transformarse en una forma de sabiduría emocional y conexión con los demás. Este episodio no busca que salgas invencible, sino que te sientas comprendido. Que puedas mirar tu jarrón hecho pedazos y elegir con qué tipo de oro vas a reconstruirlo. Dale al play y acompáñanos en esta reflexión profunda sobre la belleza que hay en fracasar, pero con sentido.

 Mistakes are the portals of discovery.Your mind will give back to you exactly what you put into it.Fall if you will, but rise you must.Absence, the highest form of presence.Shut your eyes and see.People trample over flowers, yet only to embrace a cactus.Ask no questions and you'll hear no lies.Beware the horns of a bull, the heels of the horse, and the smile of an Englishman.Life is too short to read a bad book.To learn one must be humble. But life is the great teacher.Every life is in many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love. But always meeting ourselves.Think you're escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.To live, to err, to fall, to triumph, to recreate life out of life.My Video:  Quotes James Joyce  https://youtu.be/7RPFApOQDwUMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast4/Quotes-James-Joyce.mp3

Whoops! We skipped a month. Consider it our summer vacation. But we've got a big one this episode.Here's the deal: if there is one book you should read this year it's Brian Goldstone's “There Is No Place for Us: Working and Homeless in America” The book is an incredible work of journalism as it “…follows five families in Atlanta as they struggle to find stable housing while navigating low-wage work, predatory landlords, a lack of tenant protections, and a system that prioritizes profit over people's basic need for a home.” We're honored to have Brian on the pod with us to talk about his experience writing such an emotionally taxing work. But first: James Joyce's love for farts. Intro:Olga Tokarczuk - The EmpusiumJoyce Carol Oates - FoxV.E.

Hablar es pensar en voz alta. Aquí, en diálogo con personas invitadas, docentes y estudiantes, usamos este espacio para trazar paisajes de la escena artística y cultural, siguiendo esas líneas de pensamiento que a veces convergen y otras se escapan hacia direcciones inesperadas. En este primer episodio hablamos con Joe Broderick sobre su libro Para leer el Ulises de Joyce. Y aprovechamos la excusa de esa novela universal para hablar de la vida de este irlandés que vino a parar a Colombia hace más de 50 años. Hablamos sobre eso y sobre su famosa biografía de Camilo Torres.

All Future Plunges to the Past: James Joyce in Russian Literature (Cornell UP, 2021) explores how Russian writers from the mid-1920s on have read and responded to Joyce's work. Through contextually rich close readings, José Vergara uncovers the many roles Joyce has occupied in Russia over the last century, demonstrating how the writers Yury Olesha, Vladimir Nabokov, Andrei Bitov, Sasha Sokolov, and Mikhail Shishkin draw from Joyce's texts, particularly Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, to address the volatile questions of lineages in their respective Soviet, émigré, and post-Soviet contexts. Interviews with contemporary Russian writers, critics, and readers of Joyce extend the conversation to the present day, showing how the debates regarding the Irish writer's place in the Russian pantheon are no less settled one hundred years after Ulysses. The creative reworkings, or translations, of Joycean themes, ideas, characters, plots, and styles made by the five writers Vergara examines speak to shifting cultural norms, understandings of intertextuality, and the polarity between Russia and the West. Vergara illuminates how Russian writers have used Joyce's ideas as a critical lens to shape, prod, and constantly redefine their own place in literary history. All Future Plunges to the Past offers one overarching approach to the general narrative of Joyce's reception in Russian literature. While each of the writers examined responded to Joyce in an individual manner, the sum of their methods reveals common concerns. This subject raises the issue of cultural values and, more importantly, how they changed throughout the twentieth century in the Soviet Union, Russian emigration, and the post-Soviet Russian environment.

Valentina Ferri"La cioccolata di Euterpe"Partitura per nuovi mitifveditoriwww.fveditori.itCosa hanno in comune Leonora Carrington ed Edgar Allan Poe? Una merenda con la cioccolata a Parigi e Francesco Petrarca? E ancora, cosa può avvicinare i versi di un mistico islamico a quelli del poeta Dylan Thomas? La risposta è: la musica. Grazie alla sua musa Euterpe, infatti, prendono qui vita tanghi e quadri surrealisti, pagine dodecafoniche insieme ad Arie rossiniane e gourmanderie. Ogni autore qui crea tra-miti fra la propria arte e il talento altrui dando vita a spartiti in cui possono figurare danze popolari spagnole e pagine di Aleksandr Skrjabin, Sirene fuggite dall'Ulysses di James Joyce e feste mascherate alla corte di Leonor Fini. Un viaggio appassionante attraverso i capolavori della letteratura, della pittura e della musica, tra testi sacri e profani ascoltati – letti – in una inedita “partitura”. Valentina Ferri è giornalista, attrice e scrittrice: autrice di testi teatrali e biografie su personaggi dell'arte e della musica, coniuga da molto tempo la ricerca sulla voce e l'efficacia della comunicazione sonora con la scrittura e l'interpretazione di testi e autori inediti.

In this captivating episode of Mythlok, we delve into the myth of Aeolus, the legendary Keeper of the Winds in Greek mythology. As the master of one of nature's most unpredictable forces, Aeolus held a unique position among gods and mortals alike. Entrusted by Zeus to control the chaotic gusts that stirred seas and skies, Aeolus became both a guardian of calm and a harbinger of storms. His story, most famously told in The Odyssey, shows just how pivotal his role was in guiding — or misguiding — the fate of mortals.Host Nitten Nair takes you through Aeolus's complex family lineage, his symbolic connection to nature, and his reimagining in modern literature, science, and media. From being labeled a “windbag” in James Joyce's Ulysses to lending his name to scientific terms like “Aeolian processes,” Aeolus continues to swirl through our collective consciousness. His children founded dynasties, his winds shaped destinies, and his mythology blurred the line between human wisdom and divine power.Whether as a mortal king, divine figure, or metaphor for humanity's struggle with the elements, Aeolus remains a powerful symbol of control, chaos, and the eternal dance between order and nature. Join us as we uncover the legend, the legacy, and the lingering questions surrounding this ancient master of the winds. This episode will leave you with a fresh perspective on how mythology still influences the world around us — from sand dunes to starlight.

The world is tired of open borders.And we interview journalist Michael Murphy, who reveals how Europe is now at long last sharing American skepticism regarding immigration. And how  in reality Donald Trump is more European than most European politicians. Michael made this brilliant documentary, “Ireland is Full,” where he gives  Irish people a chance to speak for themselves about mass immigration that is flooding their country.Here's the link to the documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llAnoLFUgHM Also Happy BloomsDay! Also  on the podcast Phelim talks about how James Joyce was years ahead of his time when he wrote Ulysses, and how it connects to modern day anti-Semitism in Ireland.Finally we learn that in at least one jurisdiction an unborn baby is legally recognised as a fully formed human and is entitled to all the protections adults receive. We reveal how a man is now facing a capital murder charge after killing his unborn baby.Amid the depressing news from Israel we have a joyful announcement from Shani who was one of the main characters in our OCTOBER 7 play. And please leave a comment wherever you get our content and you never know, we may read it on the show.And remember guys we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit so please go to our website(linked below), and give what you can so that we can keep bringing our show, and special projects to you.

Peter Mendelsund is a graphic designer, writer, and musician. Until recently he was the associate art director at Alfred A. Knopf where he designed book covers for everyone from James Joyce to Franz Kafka, Stieg Larsson and Simone De Beauvoir.

Narrating Irish Female Development, 1916-2018 (Edinburgh UP, 2024) studies narratives of Irish female and feminized development, arguing that these postmodern  narratives present Irish female maturation as disordered and often deliberately disorderly. The first full-length study of the Irish female  coming of age story, the book develops a feminist psychoanalytic narratology, derived from the belated oedipalization of Joyce's bildungsheld, to read these stories. This study argues that all Irish maturation stories are shaped by the uneven and belated maturation story  of the Irish republic itself, which took as its avatar the Irish woman,  whose citizenship in that republic was unrealized, as indeed was her citizenship in an Irish republic of letters. Dougherty takes the writing  of Irish women as seriously as other critics have taken Joyce's work. Discusses texts by James Joyce, John McGahern, Hannah Lynch, Kate O'Brien, Lady Gregory, Maud Gonne, Mary Colum, Elizabeth Bowen, Edna O'Brien, Dervla Murphy, Clare Boylan, Nuala O'Faolain, Eavan Boland, Anne Enright, Claire Keegan, Eimear McBride, Éilís ní Dhuibhne, Melatu Uche Okorie, and Soula Emmanuel Examines the form, narration, and content of fictional, non-fictional, and national narratives Develops a feminist psychoanalytic narratology Synthesizes historical, sociojuridical, feminist, post-colonial, and literary historical narratives of Irish development Jane Elizabeth Dougherty is Professor in the School of Literature, Writing and Digital Humanities and affiliate faculty in the School of Africana and Multicultural Studies at Southern Illinois University Carbondale.

Achoo! We're falling in love with the one and only Faith Prince. You Might Know Her From Modern Family, Emily in Paris, Melissa & Joey, Spin City, My Father the Hero, The Last Dragon, and Broadway productions of Guys & Dolls, A Catered Affair, Bells Are Ringing, and BOOP!  Faith talked to us about grounding her character, Valentina, in the cartoonish plot of BOOP!, coping with fame during her star-making turn in Guys & Dolls, and leaning on her co-star Gerard Depardieu in one of her first leading roles on camera in My Father the Hero.  Faith also shared stories from working as a Broadway replacement in the cumbersome costume of Ursula in The Little Mermaid and the notoriously “realistic” production of Anne as Miss Hannigan. All that, plus working with theatre legends like Jerome Robbins, Abe Burrows, Betty Comden & Adolph Green, doing dialect work at Joey Lawrence and Lily Collins, doing her best Cyndi Lauper in cult fave The Last Dragon (and making pals with Berry Gordy, and working with Jean Smart and Mary McDonnell in the short-lived High Society.   This one was a HOOT.  Patreon: www.patreon.com/youmightknowherfrom Follow us on social media: @youmightknowherfrom || @damianbellino || @rodemanne Discussed this episode: Evergreen topics for Anne and Damian: Tyne Daly in Gypsy, Grease, Spice Girls track listings, we look like cats in Heathcliff, the cast of Mannequin 2 aka is it Jonathan Silverman, no it's William Ragsdale in Herman's Head, Sex and the City/AJLT Cynthia Nixon's kitchen tour Tom and Lorenzo and their SJP adventure Plays Valentina in Boop on Broadway We love Dancer/Choreographer Rachelle Rak Coughing as Adelaide was tougher than talking and singing in character voice Bob Saget used his stand-up to differentiate himself from Danny Tanner  Nathan & Adelaide are famously the SOUBRETTES in Guys & Dolls so Jerry Zaks put them forward instead of Sky and Sarah (this changed how future productions positioned the 2 couples)  Jerry Mitchell says it's important to pass the baton down to the next generation of musical theatre stars Arthur Laurents aka “the meanest man in show-business”, Jerry Gutierrez, Abe Burrows, Comden & Green, Sondheim, Barishnykov, Howard Ashman, Jack Plotnick, Tina Landau,  My Father the Hero w/ Gerard Depardieu “Dirty Books” from The Last Dragon / Suzanne de Passe and Berry Gordy produced the soundtrack. Berry Gordy took her OUT and called her “baby” “One More Time” in First Wives Club “How do you know if someone has lived through trauma — by the way they get someone who doesn't like them, to like them.” Cole Escola of Oh, Mary! on CBS Sunday Morning Was in first 6 episodes of High Society with Jean Smart and Mary McDonnell (based on AbFab and Faith played the Saffy character) Faith Prince's “Men” from Nick & Nora. The show was a notorious flop. Arthur told Faith she was making a big mistake by leaving show to do Guys & Dolls. Mary Rodgers told her she could find a way into Anna through Gertrude Lawrence, who was a comedienne.  Was offered the role of Audrey in the original Off-Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors Went to CCM with Jim Walton Had taken the revue, Scrambled Feet and was doing an IBM industrial so couldn't' take LSOH Lance Roberts is currently in Just in Time Ellen Greene did Adelaide at The Hollywood Bowl  Studied Donna Murphy who she replaced in The King & I and then did Wonderful Town (at LA Opera) Katie Finneran talked with us about James Lapine's realistic interpretation of Annie and Miss Hannigan in the 2012 revival. Said it was a challenge in the NYT. Re the 2012 revival of Annie: Andrea McArdle said “I didn't know we were doing Secret Garden” Associate Director Wes Grantham LOVES HUMOR, unlike Lapine Martin Charnin & Charles Strouse KISSED HER FEET when they visited her backstage John Doyle who directed A Catered Affair also backs away from the humor We love Bells are Ringing - Faith starred in the 2001 Broadway revival. Difficult because of Mitchell Maxwell who produced Had to ride an actor in Grey's Anatomy because character's IUD got stuck on her ex-husband's Prince Albert penis piercing Does some great character work in the indie film Our Very Own (got gig from doing reading of The Women with Allison Janney) IMDB lists her on an ep of Mad Men. INCORRECT. Martin Short was in Dennis Quaid movie, Innerspace My Favorite Broadway: The Leading Ladies was an incredible, formative concert Managing Ursula costume in The Little Mermaid was worse than managing the wig in her Lifetime movie with Kathleen Turner, Friends at Last Vicki Lewis told us she held Dixie Carter's spit cup in a production of Mame she was in with Faith Christopher Walken kept pickled things in the pockets of his costume during James Joyce's The Dead (Marni Nixon was also in the show) We interviewed Annaleigh Ashford who is maybe made  in the mold of Faith Prince Damian is seeing an Italian production of Cats / Anne is seeing her nephew do Grease Jr.  in Sicily DUCK ASS HAIR for Danny Zuko
