Who benefited from the British Empire? In the metropole, did it benefit wealthy landed aristocrats and financiers of the City of London, or did the Empire create employment and cheap goods for British workers?

Falei sobre Liberalismo com João Tiago Gaspar, politólogo, editor, doutorando com trabalho sobre o tema e co-autor do podcast de comentário político 30 Por Uma Linha. Acontece também ser liberal. A conversa será distribuía por dois episódios, e na primeira parte falamos das origens, dos princípios, do que é e não é liberalismo e da sua relação com as restantes ideologias políticas, assim como as diferentes correntes liberais. É uma conversa fascinante e a culpa é toda do convidado que sabe do que fala e nos ajuda a perceber melhor do que se fala quando se fala de liberalismo. Este episódio está cheio de referências, que vou deixar aqui como apoio para a conversa: Teoria dos Sentimentos Morais, de Adam Smith A Riqueza das Nações, de Adam Smith Relatório Beveridge Leonard Hobhouse T. H. Green John A.

Nesse episódio abordamos o conceito de imperialismo e suas implicações no campo econômico e social, utilizamos como principal referencia a obra de Vladimir Lênin “Imperialismo Fase Superior do Capitalismo”, mas também referenciamos a contribuição de outros autores importantes como Marx, Rosa Luxemburgo e John A. Hobson.

Professor Elleke Boehmer gives a talk on Olive Schreiner (1855-1920), the South African novelist, pioneering feminist, and anti-imperialist polemicist. For Boehmer, Schreiner is not 'great' in the conventional sense (she did not possess the great literary brain of George Eliot, for example), but she is a great inspiration in many spheres: she influenced other writers (fellow South African J.M. Coetzee, in particular); other critical thinkers and activists (including John A. Hobson and Vladimir Lenin); and general trends in feminism, gender studies, and postcolonialism. As Boehmer explains, Schreiner's greatness is to be found in her flaws and failures. Under the pseudonym 'Ralph Iron', Schreiner published one critically acclaimed book - The Story of an African Farm (1883) - and was highly praised in London literary circles. However, she failed to publish any more novels; she wrote two draft manuscripts but was never completely satisfied with them, so never sought publication. Schreiner suffered writer's block and several episodes of illness (both physical and psychosomatic). These struggles produced inspiring, yet never fully formed, treatises on South Africa, racism, imperialism, capitalism, gender, and other material and power relations. Indeed, it is Schreiner's struggles - her constant revisions and enduring attempts to give a formative shape to the world - which make her the embodiment of modern life, of a world in constant flux. She was a Modernist ahead of time. Schreiner died in 1920, two years before one of the most significant years for Modernist literature (1922 saw the publication of James Joyce's 'Ulysses', T.S. Eliot's 'The Waste Land', and Virginia Woolf's 'Jacob's Room'), but her innovative attempts to change the way the world was perceived make her a truly Modern writer. Boehmer ends her talk with a brief insight into Schreiner's biography and work. Schreiner was brought up by missionary parents but went on to denounce religion. She worked as a governess, before moving to the UK to begin (but never complete) medical school. Her choice of reading matter was varied, but she was particularly taken with J. S. Mill and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Finally, Boehmer reads a couple of extracts from The Story of an African Farm, asking us to pay particular attention to the masterful ways in which Schreiner gives aesthetic form to her native South Africa through shifting between macrocosm and microcosm, between the country itself and detailed descriptions of single flowers.
