Un trastorno comunicacional que tiene como característica la interrupción involuntaria al hablar y viene acompañada de miedo, estrés, así como de tensión muscular en la cara y el cuello.

Never trust anyone who tries to be ethically pure. This is the message of Albert Camus's short novel La Chute (The Fall), in which a retired French lawyer tells a stranger in a bar in Amsterdam about a series of incidents that led to a profound personal crisis. The self-described ‘judge-penitent' had once thought himself to be morally irreproachable, but an encounter with a woman on a bridge and a mysterious laugh left him tormented by a sense of hypocrisy. In this episode, Jonathan and James follow Camus's slippery hero as he tries and fails to undergo a moral revolution, and look at the ways in which the novel's lightness of style allows for twisted inversions of conventional morality. They also consider the similarities between Camus's novels and those of Simone de Beauvoir, and his fractious relationship with Jean-Paul Sartre.

Gabriella Belli"Vedova Tintoretto. In dialogo"Palazzo Madama, Torinowww.palazzomadamatorino.itFino al 12 gennaio 2026 Palazzo Madama – Museo Civico d'Arte Antica di Torino e la Fondazione Emilio e Annabianca Vedova di Venezia presentano la mostra “Vedova Tintoretto. In dialogo” a cura di Gabriella Belli e Giovanni Carlo Federico Villa. Un eccezionale percorso espositivo concepito per accostare l'arte di due grandi pittori veneziani, ciascuno tra i massimi interpreti della propria epoca – Jacomo Robusti detto il Tintoretto (Venezia, 1518-1594) ed Emilio Vedova (Venezia, 1919-2006) – letti in parallelo, così da affrontare lo sviluppo dell'opera di Vedova nel suo confronto con quello che è stato il maestro d'elezione, indagando similitudini e temi consonanti (o dissonanti) alla base delle singole scelte espressive.Tintoretto è stato fondativo per la formazione artistica di Vedova e la mostra a Palazzo Madama sottolinea l'impeto e la forza dell'articolato rapporto che lega i due artisti attraverso l'accostamento di capolavori del maestro rinascimentale e dell'artista informale. Il progetto dell'esposizione prende avvio dalla straordinaria opportunità di ospitare a Torino una delle opere conclusive, e paradigmatiche, della parabola umana e artistica di Tintoretto: l'Autoritratto del 1588, in prestito dal Musée du Louvre. Una tela che è stata più di un modello iconografico, rappresentando, come si evince dalle interpretazioni di Edouard Manet – che la replica e la considera il più bel quadro al mondo – e dagli scritti di Jean-Paul Sartre, una sorta di identificazione poetica e concettuale per molti artisti.  Tintoretto è infatti l'interprete di una narrazione pittorica capace di arrivare al nostro tempo mettendo insieme “Il disegno di Michelangelo, e il colorito di Tiziano”, esaltato nel corso dei secoli dal genio romantico dell'inglese Ruskin (1819-1900) – “non sono mai stato così completamente annichilito di fronte a una mente umana come lo sono stato oggi, di fronte a Tintoretto” – e dalle penne di Goethe, Stendhal o Henry James. Scriveva Emilio Vedova rispetto al suo grande maestro: “Tintoretto è stato una mia identificazione. Quello spazio appunto una sede di accadimenti. Quella regia a ritmi sincopati e cruenti, magmatici di energie di fondi interni di passioni di emotività commossa (…)”E per Vedova Tintoretto è la quotidianità di una consuetudine con Chiese, Scuole e Palazzi di Venezia in cui cercare e trovare il proprio Maestro, l'unico che gli rivela il segreto per trasformare la tecnica da merostrumento espressivo di belle forme in una lama affilata capace di incidere nella storia. Da lui Vedova trae ispirazione per temi e contenuti, ricava basilari insegnamenti per dominare lo spazio della tela, tradurre in colore la luce delle sue composizioni, modellare nel gesto rapido senza esitazioni le forme, che scaturiscono dal suo nuovo segno, che già nel 1948 lascia ogni tentazione figurativa per risolversi nell'astrazione. Giungendo infine alla sequenza indimenticabile dell'opera …in continuum, compenetrazioni/traslati '87/'88 riprova di quanto l'incontro di una vita abbia reso grande anche il discepolo, gli abbia offerto lo slancio necessario per andare oltre. La mostra Vedova Tintoretto. In dialogo, allestita nell'Aula del Senato del Regno d'Italia, presenta una cinquantina di capolavori tra tele di Emilio Vedova e opere di Tintoretto quali le clamorose ancone dei Camerlenghi, straordinario prestito dalle Gallerie dell'Accademia di Venezia o, ancora, alcune delle opere del celeberrimo ciclo delle Metamorfosi ora conservate alle Gallerie Estensi di Modena. Il serrato dialogo tra i due artisti si sviluppa a partire dai disegni giovanili di Vedova del 1936 passando per le tele degli anni Quaranta e Cinquanta dedicate alla riflessione su dipinti di Tintoretto quali la Moltiplicazione dei pani e dei pesci (da Tintoretto) (1942), La crocifissione (da Tintoretto) (1947), (studio da Sogno di San Marco di Tintoretto) (1956), e a quelle degli anni Ottanta. A completare il dialogo e l'esposizione è Vedova con la monumentale installazione …in continuum, compenetrazione/traslati '87/'88: più di cento grandi tele, assemblate le une con le altre in uno sviluppo che sfiderà la verticalità della sala del Senato, testimonianza dell'evoluzione di Vedova che continua con potenza visionaria il suo confronto col maestro ideale.Catalogo della mostra "Vedova Tintoretto.

Institucionalizované odmilování: Co o nás vypovídají rozvody

Rozvod jako „institucionalizovaná forma ne-lásky“ otevírá staré napětí mezi svobodou a věrností. Jean-Paul Sartre vidí v lásce „marnou vášeň“ – touhu být pro druhého vším, a zároveň odpor k omezení, které tato touha nevyhnutelně přináší. Gabriel Marcel naproti tomu chápe věrnost jako odvahu zůstat: není to pouto, ale tvořivá schopnost stát se tím, kdo dokáže závazek, do něhož vstoupil, naplnit.Sociologické výzkumy ukazují, že toto dilema proniklo hluboko do struktury společnosti. Rozvádí se zhruba třetina manželství a přibývá i takzvaných „šedivých rozvodů“, tedy rozchodů po padesátce. Eva Illouzová interpretuje tuto vysokou míru tolerance vůči rozvodům jako důsledek „emočního kapitalismu“, v němž se i intimní vztahy řídí logikou trhu a maximalizací pocitů. K růstu rozvodovosti podle ní přispívá i terapeutická kultura, která nás učí ze sebe uvolňovat stále nové vrstvy potlačených emocí, verbalizovat je a žádat pro ně uznání. Naše pozornost k minulým i současným zraněním je pak často silnější než pozornost k vztahu samému. Ten se dříve či později začne jevit jako neudržitelný – a rozvod nikoli jako katastrofa, ale jako jedna z forem seberealizace.Jenže sebevědomí získané terapeutickými cestami může být klamné; a ekonomická i emocionální cena, často přenesená na děti, vysoká. O tom hovoří již padesát let v německy mluvícím prostoru rakouská právnička Helene Klaarová, označovaná za „nejobávanější rozvodovou advokátku“. Ta tvrdí, že de facto všem, kteří k ní přicházejí, radí, aby rozvod přehodnotili. Existují jen dvě výjimky: násilí nebo psychosomatické potíže v důsledku vztahu. A když se jí novináři ptají, zda doporučuje párovou terapii, odpovídá bez váhání: „Ne. Jako příslušník osmašedesátníků doporučuji manželský sex před manželskou poradnou. O tom, že je to prospěšnější, nemám za ty roky žádný důvod pochybovat.“KapitolyI. Věrnost? Nerealizovatelná [úvod až 20:00]II. Krátké dějiny rozvodu [20:00 až 30:05]III. Člověk, marná vášeň?

De Nouy found that, on an average, the time needed to form one such molecule of our terrestrial globe would be about 10 to the 253 power, i.e. billions of years. "But," continued de Nouy ironically, "let us admit that no matter how small the chance it could happen, one molecule could be created by such astronomical odds of chance. However, one molecule is of no use. Hundreds of millions of identical ones are necessary. Thus we either admit the miracle or doubt the absolute truth of science." Quoted in; "Is Science Moving Toward Belief in God?" Paul A. Fisher, The Wanderer, (Nov 7, 1985), cited in Kingdoms In Conflict, C. Colson, p. 66. Near the end of his life, Jean-Paul Sartre told Pierre Victor: "I do not feel that I am the product of chance, a speck of dust in the universe, but someone who was expected, prepared, prefigured. In short, a being whom only a Creator could put here; and this idea of a creating hand refers to God." HIS Magazine, April, 1983. It is absurd for the Evolutionist to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing, and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn itself into everything. G.K. Chesterton The yearning to know what cannot be known, to comprehend the incomprehensible, to touch and taste the unapproachable, arises from the image of God in the nature of man. Deep calleth unto deep, and though polluted and landlocked by the mighty disaster theologians call the Fall, the soul senses its origin and longs to return to its source. A.W. Tozer God, who needs nothing, loves into existence wholly superfluous creatures in order that He may love and perfect them. He creates the universe, already foreseeing - or should we say "seeing"? there are no tenses in God - the buzzing cloud of flies about the cross, the flayed back pressed against the uneven stake, the nails driven through the mesial nerves, the repeated incipient suffocation as the body droops, the repeated torture of back and arms as it is time after time, for breath's sake, hitched up. If I may dare the biological image, God is a "host" who deliberately creates His own parasites; causes us to be that we may exploit and "take advantage of" Him. Herein is love. This is the diagram of Love Himself, the inventor of all loves. C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

Tessa Szyszkowitz in conversation with Jonathan Coe and Giuliano da EmpoliIN PRAISE OF POLITICAL LITERATUREWhen politics goes low, literature goes high: When, how and why do authors give their novels a political twist?When Michelle Obama coined the phrase “When they go low, we go high” at the Democratic Party conference in 2016 she was talking about ethical leadership. Different from politicians, authors do not have an obligation to be either ethical nor leaders. Or do they?Literature has been abused for political propaganda throughout history. Vergil's “Aeneis” portrayed the emperor Augustus as heroic and his regime as a gift from God. In more modern times Jean Paul Sartre and Theodor Adorno had a public spat about Pros and Cons of political Literature: In his essay “What is literature?” Sartre advocated for engaged literature to further social change. In his essay “Commitment” Adorno called such literature as ineffective and even harmful.Both Jonathan Coe and Giuliano da Empoli are known for their political literature. While Coe often uses humour and satire to mix social commentary into his bestsellers –  as in his Brexit-Satire Middle England – da Empoli comes from the other direction entirely. His first time novel and instant bestseller The Wizard of the Kremlin – Der Magier im Kreml – was a beautiful novel about a trade he knows all too well himself. He writes about Vladislaw Surkow, former influential chief advisor to the Russian president Vladimir Putin, after da Empoli served as a political former advisor to former Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi. Jonathan Coe, born 1961, is a British novelist. He would possibly rather be known as a musician –he still plays keyboards and composes music for two bands: The Peer Group and Italy's Artchipel Orchestra. But since he became too successful as a novelist, people know him as an author. “What a Carve Up!”, “The Rotters club”, “Middle England” are only a few highlights in his oeuvre. He received many prizes among them The Costa Novel of the Year and the Prix du Livre Européen. His newest novel was  published this August in German: “Der Beweis meiner Unschuld”, Folio Verlag, 2025. Giuliano  da Empoli, born 1973, is the Swiss Italian author of The Wizard of the Kremlin – Der Magier im Kreml, a first time novel and bestseller about Vladislaw Surkow, former influential chief advisor to the Russian president Vladimir Putin. He is a former political advisor himself, he served as the deputy mayor for cultural affairs in Florence to Matteo Renzi, and later as his political advisor during Renzi's term as head of the Italian government (2014-2016) – an experience recounted in Le Florentin („The Florentine“) Giuliano da Empoli is a professor at Sciences Po university, the founder of the pro-European political thinktank  Volta in Milan and has just publishedhis new book  Die Stunde der Raubtiere (L'Heure des prédateurs, The Hour of the Predator,), a reflection on the current era of new autocrats allied with tech magnates.  Tessa Szyszkowitz is an author and UK correspondent for the Austrian weekly Falter.

What is an emotion? In his Sketches for a Theory of the Emotions (1939), Sartre picks up what William James, Martin Heidegger and others had written about this question to suggest what he believed to be a new thought on human emotion and its relation to consciousness. For Sartre, the emotions are not external forces acting upon consciousness but an action of consciousness as it tries to rearrange the world to suit itself, or as he puts it at the end of his book: a sudden fall of consciousness into magic. In this episode Jonathan and James discuss why Sartre's rejection of the idea of the subconscious is not as much a departure from Freud's theories as he thought they were, and the ways in which his attempt to establish a ‘phenomenological psychology' manifested in other works, including Nausea, Being and Nothingness and The Words. Note: Readers should use the translation by Philip Mairet. The earlier one by Bernard Frechtman, as Jonathan explains in the episode, contains numerous (often amusing) errors.

Der Klimawandel, das Patriarchat, die Überidentifikation mit der eigenen Arbeit: In vielen ihrer Texte geht Nina Kunz Themen nach, die ein Unbehagen in ihr auslösen. Sie zu schreiben, sei wie das Lösen eines schwierigen Kreuzworträtsels. Sich selbst als Autorin zu bezeichnen, war für Nina Kunz ein langer Prozess. Obwohl sie bereits seit ihren frühen Zwanzigern ihr Geld mit dem Schreiben verdient – unter anderem als Kolumnistin für «Das Magazin» – brauchte es einen Bestseller, bis sie sich traute, sich selbst diese Bezeichnung anzuheften: «Ich denk, ich denk zu viel» ist im März 2021 bei «Kein & Aber» erschienen und besteht aus einer Sammlung von dreissig Texten, in denen Kunz sich mit ihrem eigenen Erleben, ihren Gedanken, sowie jeder Menge Sekundärliteratur auseinandersetzt, von Jean-Paul Sartre über Roxanne Gay bis zum US-amerikanischen Linguisten William Labov. Aufgewachsen ist Nina Kunz mitten in der Stadt Zürich, im Kreis 4. In «Musik für einen Gast» erinnert sie sich daran, wie sie als Kind auf einer Pingpongtischplatte sass und sich die Scherben aus den Fusssohlen zog, wie sie mit ihren Freundinnen Choreografien zu «Tic Tac Toe» einstudierte und wie sie als Jugendliche die «Bar Italia» in London besuchte; ein Ort, der die englische Rockband «Pulp» zu einem Stück inspiriert hat.

In this podcast, we will be talking about 10 life lessons from the philosophy of Fyodor Dostoevsky. Fyodor Dostoevsky was a 19th century novelist and philosopher and is considered to be one of the first writers to incorporate concepts of what we now know as existentialism. So with that in mind, here are 10 life lessons from the philosophy of Fyodor Dostoevsky -  01. Excessive self-pride leads to isolation 02. Be better for yourself, not for other people 03. It's more important to live life, than to think about life 04. Emotional intelligence is as insightful as rationality 05. Love life more than its meaning 06. Be virtuous and just 07. Fight evil with love and compassion 08. Moral freedom is no freedom at all 09. Compassion and love can break alienation 10. Learn to enjoy suffering I hope you enjoyed listening to this podcast and hope these 10 life lessons from the philosophy of Fyodor Dostoevsky will add value to your life.  Fyodor Dostoevsky was a 19th century novelist and philosopher, considered by many to be one of the most influential authors in all of world literature. Born and raised in Tsarist Russia, Dostoevsky was heavily exposed to the misery and injustice characteristic of his time. Among his more marking experiences, he spent four years in a Siberian labour camp, went through compulsory military service in exile, and had to beg for money while in Western Europe due to his gambling addiction. And yet, despite his first-hand experience of misery and suffering, Dostoevsky remained hopeful and optimistic about what life is. He is considered to be one of the first writers to incorporate concepts of what we now know as existentialism. Dostoevsky's works revolve around a few major themes like the meaning of life, the constancy of suffering, the divide between rationality and emotion, spirituality, and the various sides of the human condition.  Some of his well known novels and essays are Crime and Punishment, The Brothers Karamazov, The Idiot, and Notes from the Underground. Through his novels and essays, Dostoevsky tried to make sense of the suffering and misery around him, attempting to find meaning and hope even in the bleakest of times. His work represents a deep dive into human suffering, the evil surrounding us, and the problems caused by moral corruption and in each of the universes he created, he gave ways to escape the apparent  constant suffering and torment of his characters through moral virtue, love, compassion, and one's own sense of meaning. His writings were heavily influential for the existentialist current of philosophy, representing sources of inspiration for other consecrated authors like Friedrich Nietzsche and Jean-Paul Sartre.

In episode 17 of (Pop) Cultural Marxism, Ajay and Isi once again find themselves in the regrettable position of praising the Walt Disney Company. After chatting about recent cultural highlights (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a 40th anniversary screening of Kurosawa's Ran, and a Criterion retrospective on Johnnie To), they consider the popular and critical success of Andor's second season, and ask what it means to describe a pop cultural text as “politically timely.” Their conversation turns to extratextual ecosystems (press junkets, interviews), Gilroy's deep engagement with cinematic depictions of fascism and rebellion (Army of Shadows, The Conformist), architecture and costume design, season 2 high points (the Ghorman Massacre, Mon Mothma's Senate speech), the politics of revolutionary alliances, and imperial bureaucracy. Finally, they consider how the show makes the transition—narratively, visually, musically—into the lore-dense timeline of Rogue One and A New Hope, and ponder its uncharacteristically fascistic final scene.

Aussi étrange que cela puisse paraître, oui, Jean-Paul Sartre a bien connu une obsession pour les crustacés, et plus précisément pour les homards. Mais il ne s'agit pas là d'un goût culinaire ou d'une fascination philosophique : cette obsession trouve son origine dans une expérience hallucinogène, vécue par le philosophe dans les années 1930.À cette époque, Sartre s'intéresse de près aux états modifiés de conscience. Dans un cadre semi-expérimental, il accepte de consommer de la mescaline, un puissant psychotrope extrait de cactus comme le peyotl, utilisé traditionnellement par certaines tribus amérindiennes. La substance est connue pour provoquer des hallucinations visuelles et des distorsions sensorielles intenses.Peu de temps après cette expérience, Sartre est victime d'hallucinations récurrentes. Il voit apparaître, autour de lui, des homards qui le suivent dans la rue, l'attendent dans les couloirs, surgissent dans son champ de vision. Il en parlera comme de "crabes", ou de "grosses bêtes aux pinces", qui deviennent une présence quasi constante, parfois intrusive, parfois presque familière.Loin de disparaître avec le temps, ces visions persistent plusieurs semaines après la prise de mescaline. Sartre, alors âgé d'environ 30 ans, s'en amuse parfois, mais en garde une certaine inquiétude. Il confiera plus tard à Simone de Beauvoir, puis à des journalistes, que ces créatures semblaient l'accompagner dans ses déplacements — une sorte de délire visuel lucide, dont il avait conscience, mais qu'il ne pouvait totalement maîtriser.Dans une interview donnée à John Gerassi dans les années 1970, Sartre expliquera avec humour :"J'ai vu des homards pendant longtemps. Ils m'accompagnaient partout. Je savais bien qu'ils n'étaient pas réels… mais ils étaient là."Cette anecdote étrange n'a rien d'un délire permanent ou pathologique. Elle montre plutôt la curiosité de Sartre pour les frontières de la perception, la nature de la conscience, et la subjectivité. Des thèmes qu'il explorera d'ailleurs dans La Nausée ou L'Imaginaire, où le trouble de la réalité occupe une place centrale.Aujourd'hui, cet épisode est devenu presque légendaire. Il illustre le côté expérimental et audacieux de Sartre, qui n'hésita pas à mettre son esprit à l'épreuve pour mieux comprendre ce qu'il appelait "l'existence pure".Alors oui, Sartre fut bien escorté par des crustacés… du moins dans sa tête.--------------------Vous cherchez des récits inspirants de course à pied ?

In Part 2, we wrap up our consideration of Jean-Paul Sartre's midcentury magnum opus by exploring how we move from the inaccessible interiority of consciousness to our concrete relations with others. The latter half of Being & Nothingness takes up the question of what aspects of our being are revealed to us in confrontation with the Other. Sartre famously argues here that it is the Other's look, the omnipresent possibility of being seen, judged, and evaluated by another consciousness that discloses the objectivity of our being through and for the Other. As soon as the Other enters the scene, a fundamental aspect of our being is alienated from us; captured in the Other's appropriating gaze. The various attempts by the for-itself to retrieve this alienated being and penetrate the Other's essential freedom play a determinate role in shaping the contours of our fundamental projects, that is the immanently revisable set of possibilities, meaning, and value we pro-ject into the world.  In the final sections of the book, Sartre sketches an alternative to Freudian psychoanalysis, asks us to reframe our conception of the autonomous will and the role of giving and asking for reasons, and gestures towards an ethics grounded in criterionless choice.Please consider becoming a paying subscriber to our Patreon to get exclusive bonus episodes, early access releases, and bookish merch: https://www.patreon.com/MoralMinorityFollow us on Twitter(X).Devin: @DevinGoureCharles: @satireredactedEmail us at: moralminoritypod@gmail.com

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961), who was part of the movement known as phenomenology. While less well-known than his contemporaries Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, his popularity has increased among philosophers in recent years. Merleau-Ponty rejected Rene Descartes' division between body and mind, arguing that the way we perceive the world around us cannot be separated from our experience of inhabiting a physical body. Merleau-Ponty was interested in the down-to-earth question of what it is actually like to live in the world. While performing actions as simple as brushing our teeth or patting a dog, we shape the world and, in turn, the world shapes us.

We take it for granted that through language and communication we can learn about the experience of others. But it remains unknown whether we can fully know what it is like to be another human being. James Baldwin and Jean-Paul Sartre take radically different approaches. For Sartre, the experience of others is unknown to us. Fundamentally, we are alone with our own subjectivity. While for Baldwin, "to encounter oneself is to encounter the other; and this is love". Summing up his disagreement with Sartre he remarked: "it has always seemed to me that ideas were somewhat more real to him than people.”Was Baldwin right that to be alive is to be socially connected to others? Or is Sartre's insight that the only thing we can know is our own experience more telling? Should we conclude that we cannot understand the experience of another unless we have had the same experience? Or is language capable of bridging the seemingly impossible gap between us?

VIII En la Francia de entreguerras, en un pequeño rincón de Le Mans, se gestó una historia que con el paso del tiempo se convertiría en uno de los casos más perturbadores y enigmáticos del siglo XX. Una historia que, a pesar de haber sido juzgada y archivada hace casi un siglo, continúa inquietando a estudiosos, criminólogos, psicoanalistas y artistas por igual. Lo que sucedió aquella tarde de febrero no solo sacudió a una ciudad entera, sino que sacó a la luz la fragilidad del alma humana y las tensiones invisibles que pueden incubarse en el silencio de un hogar. El relato gira en torno a dos hermanas: Christine y Léa Papin. Huérfanas desde jóvenes, ambas ingresaron muy pronto en el mundo del servicio doméstico, encontrando finalmente empleo en una casa de aspecto burgués, habitada por una familia aparentemente respetable. Durante años, cumplieron sus labores con una disciplina casi mecánica, sin mayores sobresaltos. Pero bajo esa superficie tranquila, se tejía una red densa de emociones contenidas, sumisión, rigidez y aislamiento. La casa en la que trabajaban, si bien estable y ordenada hacia afuera, era una olla de presión. Las hermanas, especialmente Christine, mostraban una relación intensa, cerrada sobre sí misma, en la que los vínculos familiares se entrelazaban con una dependencia emocional casi absoluta. Léa, más joven, seguía a su hermana mayor con una devoción que iba más allá del simple lazo de sangre. Nadie en la casa parecía ver el abismo que se formaba entre las hermanas y el mundo exterior. El caso, que capturó la atención de la prensa nacional y luego internacional, generó un torrente de interpretaciones. ¿Fue un acto de locura súbita? ¿Una rebelión contra la opresión de clase? ¿O el estallido inevitable de una mente fracturada por años de servidumbre, silencio y dolor? El juicio fue breve, pero el eco de sus implicaciones resonó durante décadas. Filósofos como Jean-Paul Sartre, escritores como Simone de Beauvoir y directores como Jean Genet encontrarían en este caso un espejo oscuro del alma humana y de la sociedad de su tiempo. Más allá de los hechos concretos, el caso de las hermanas Papin es una grieta por la que se puede vislumbrar algo más profundo: la violencia estructural, la represión emocional, la desigualdad social y los límites difusos entre el amor, la dependencia y la locura. Este relato no es solo la historia de un crimen, sino de una tragedia larvada, en la que el verdadero horror no está en lo que se hizo, sino en cómo se llegó a ello. En este episodio, exploraremos no solo los acontecimientos, sino el contexto, las personalidades implicadas y el impacto que este caso tuvo —y sigue teniendo— en la cultura y el pensamiento. Porque a veces, lo más perturbador no está en el acto, sino en las sombras que lo preceden.

How do we fight back against the broligarchs? Journalist Gil Durán, of the must-read newsletters Nerd Reich and FrameLab, shows the way, in this week's Gaslit Nation.    Jean-Paul Sartre's famous line, “Hell is other people,” from his play No Exit, written in Nazi-occupied France, captured a grievance that mirrored the era's ideological clashes—fascism, communism, and isolationism, often overlapping and competing, fueling Stalin's genocides, the Holocaust, and World War II. The solution to sharing society with others, it seemed, was elimination: kill them.    This is why democracies rely on tolerance—you don't have to like my existence, but you must let me exist in peace. Yet today's tech oligarchs, having amassed unimaginable wealth, would rather invest billions in creating tech colonies and new religions to justify mass murder, enslavement, and C.E.O. king fiefdoms than address world hunger, provide free education, and strengthen social safety nets. Their vision isn't coexistence—they're building an anti-empathy billionaire bunker cult.    Gil Durán, a San Francisco journalist and former editorial page editor of The Sacramento Bee and The San Francisco Examiner, has a front-row view of the rise of the broligarchs, analyzing their fascist justifications for cruelty in his popular newsletter, Nerd Reich. Durán spent over a decade in California politics, serving as chief communications strategist for Governor Jerry Brown, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and Attorney General Kamala Harris. His work has appeared in The New Republic, Esquire, and PBS. He co-founded Framelab, a newsletter on politics, language, and the brain, with Dr. George Lakoff.
