EPISODE 110 | How to Be a Fascist People use the term "Fascist" a lot these days, but do they really know what that means? Fascism is a very specific combination of ideas and goals that occurred within very clear historical and philosophical contexts.  This is a look at where Fascism came from, Mussolini's rise to power, and variations and offshoots of the first Fascist ideologies. And while not everyone you don't like is a "Fascist", there are some actual fascists out there, and they are not being all that quiet.  Like what we do?

In s3e52 of Platemark, hosts Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig talk with Carol Wax, artist and author of The Mezzotint: History and Technique. Carol recently published the second edition of The Mezzotint, expanding greatly in every area from the 1990 first edition. As she tells us, there is a better break down of rocking the copper plates, and of inking and printing them, plus there are new chapters about printing papers and the history of the medium and how it fits in the greater history of prints. They talk about the early history of mezzotint, whether one can over rock a plate, what happens when you do, and about Carol's dislike of perspectival composition, all the machines and their personalities, and her dogs Cecil, the Weimaraner, and Delia, the new dog in her life. The conversation ran long, so the episode is split into two parts. [Top] Carol Wax (American, born 1953). Eleven Shells, 1982. Mezzotint. 2 ¾ x 5 inches. Courtesy of the artist.

https://302.buzz/PM-WhatAreYourThoughtsThe adverse effects of racism in healthcare have increasingly become a topic of discussion among medical professionals worldwide. In this episode of the Pediatric Meltdown, host, Dr. Lia Gaggino, is joined by Dr. Joseph Wright, Chief Health Equity Officer of the University of Maryland Medical System, to discuss the role of race consciousness in addressing systemic and structural inequities in healthcare delivery. Dr. Wright talks about how we can no longer ignore the impact of racism on child development, which can have long-term consequences for their health and well-being. It is the responsibility of pediatricians to advocate for a society that values diversity and promotes equity, and to continue learning about the science of resilience and epigenetic impacts of racism. We must push ourselves to confront and address systemic racism in our healthcare systems, and work towards a future where all children have equal opportunities for health and success. The path towards healing and transformation begins with acknowledging the truth of our past, and taking action to create a better future. If we commit ourselves to this work, together, we can create a brighter and healthier future for all children. [00:33 -15:26] Racial Disparity and InequitiesRacial disparities and inequities are deeply embedded in society and history Historical events like the murder of Emmett Till and church bombings highlight the violence against black people The sacrifice of children in pivotal events in the civil rights era should not be forgottenTackling racial disparities and inequities requires collective effort and ongoing momentum[15:27- 29:16] The Impact of Adversity on Child Development Personal experiences can have a significant impact on a child's development and shape their worldviewExposure to adverse experiences, such as racism and discrimination, can shape a child's worldview and impact their health outcomesStressors can sow the seeds for chronic diseases in children who experience adversity Understanding the impact of exposure to racism and adverse experiences is crucial for child health professionals in promoting the well-being of children[29:17-38:57] Factors affecting childhood developmentA safe and secure community also plays a significant role in children's well-beingSmall details such as self-care products that work for ethnic hair can also impact a child's perception of inclusivity and acceptanceWords, both big and small, can have powerful effects on a child's growth and developmentAcknowledging and addressing racial disparities in healthcare can make a significant difference in child health outcomes[38:58- 51:07] The significance of challenging systemic inequities in healthcare The healthcare system benefits some groups while ignoring others, impacting the health of vulnerable children. All children deserve to be healthy, and efforts should be made to ensure that those who have been left out are not forgotten. It is necessary to challenge structural and systemic inequities to create a level playing field for all.Addressing healthcare disparities requires a race-conscious approach that acknowledges the role of race and racism in differential experiences.[51:08 - 55:46] Closing segment TakeawayLinks to resources mentioned on the show

We return to Nalini Malani's immersive installation My Reality is Different as it iterates in London, where curator Priyesh Mistry draws out the colonial and classical connections between the contemporary artist's animation chamber, and the permanent collections of the National Gallery. Born in British India in 1946, the year before Partition, contemporary artist Nalini Malani has always focussed on both ‘fractures' and continuity. From paintings to animations, her ambitious practice has always challenged conventions - none more so than her new installation, in which she ‘desecrates' well known works of art with her iPad, drawing out overlooked details, and immersing the viewer in her own perspectives. As My Reality is Different moves from the Holburne Museum in Bath to London, curator Priyesh Mistry explains how Malani's ‘endless paintings' speak to historical continuities, from the economics of slavery, to contemporary violence, and the treatment of women in ancient Greece as Cassandra and Medea. He explores the artist's use of Instagram as a ‘democratic platform', and how the exhibition radically changes our realities, in how and what we see in these paintings, and museums as products of imperial exchange. Nalini Malani: My Reality is Different runs at the National Gallery in London until 11 June 2023.

We continue with research by Joseph Black, Henry Cavendish, and Joseph Priestley, concerning new "airs". Then there is the work by Karl Scheele, which was delayed being published, and Mikhail Lomonosov, which was generally ignored. Finally we reach Marie-Ann Paulze and Antoine Lavoisier, who created modern chemistry by realizing that phlogiston is bogus and water is not an element. We have a guest speaker, Dr. Martin Rosenberg, on the scientific art of Joseph Wright of Derby and a Jacques-Louis David's massive portraits of the Lavoisier couple.

"Emerson – Never have I felt so much at home in a book, and in my home, as – I may not praise it… it is too close to me... The author who has been richest in ideas in this century so far, has been an American..." (Nietzsche) Ralph Waldo Emerson is one of the most influential minds in America, as a leading figure in the Transcendentalist movement that emerged during the mid-1800s, a personal friend and strong influence on Thoreau, and a preacher outside of any church or dogma. Emerson believed that what he called "Historical Christianity" had rendered the Christian religion a dead faith. Rather than educating men's spirits as to the meaning of their individual strivings and sufferings, or relating the wisdom of the Bible to their actual lives, preachers merely uttered moral sentiments and taught their flocks by rote. After departing the Harvard Divinity School, Emerson lectured all around America for 25 years. He was part of the Lyceum movement, which aimed to bring such philosophical lectures to general audiences - transmitting philosophy to the people, rather than just those within academia. While Emerson has sometimes been portrayed as an 'easy optimist' with a positive message, he was a man of intense feeling whose life was marred by tragedy. His answer to the suffering of his life was to transmute it into a sincerely personal and individual spirituality, and an understanding of all life as expressions of one divinity: The Over-Soul. The link between Emerson and Nietzsche is one that is oft-overlooked, even now. Some have called this a kind of perennial oversight, an absurdly repeating blind spot in approaching Nietzsche. Perhaps this is because the two men have as many differences as they do similarities. And yet, when we look within Nietzsche's journals and letters, and even within his published works, the influence of Emerson is made stunningly clear. Throughout the episode, we examine how concepts such as the personal v/s the impersonal, the use and abuse of history, the celebration and acceptance of all life's circumstances, the use of a monistic principle to explain all life - were all part of Emerson's philosophy as much as Nietzsche's. Both men were, in Emerson's coinage, "children of the fire": the souls who perceive the beauty of the divine fire underlying all life and existence, and give it voice in poetry, philosophy, and song.

36 years after playing pilot Pete Mitchell in the first Top Gun film, Tom Cruise returns to the role. Now Mitchell is one of the US Navy's top aviators, a courageous test pilot and instructor. He can dodge planes in the air but avoiding the advancement in rank that would ground him proves more difficult for him. Larushka Ivan Zadeh reviews the film. Joseph Wright of Derby was a fine portrait painter but is best known as the first artist to paint scenes of the Industrial Revolution and its scientific processes, such as in his most famous work, An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump. Today one of his paintings, in a private collection since 1772, became the centre piece of the Joseph Wright collection at Derby Museums and Art Gallery. On one side there is a self-portrait, on the other a study for An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump. Curator Lucy Bamford explains why this is such a significant acquisition. So that the exhibits are not confined to within the museum building, London Transport Museum is running guided tours of the Kingsway Tram Tunnel in Central London. Opened in 1906 the last tram ran through it in 1952. Since it was abandoned it has been a secret space in the heart of the city. Samira visits the tunnel with transport historian Tim Dunn and Siddy Holloway of the London Transport Museum and discovers part of the capital's hidden heritage. Louise Erdrich is a member of the Turtle Mountain Band and of Chippewa, and is the latest of our authors shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2022 for The Sentence. The novel is about a bookshop, a haunting, and the events that unfurled in Minneapolis between All Souls' Day in 2019 and 2020, including of course the death of George Floyd.

It's the last Legal Brief of the month, so you know what that means! Justine and Amanda tell you about all the people added to The National Exoneration Registry."The National Registry of Exonerations is a project of the Newkirk Center for Science & Society at University of California Irvine, the University of Michigan Law School and Michigan State University College of Law. It was founded in 2012 in conjunction with the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University School of Law. The Registry provides detailed information about every known exoneration in the United States since 1989—cases in which a person was wrongly convicted of a crime and later cleared of all the charges based on new evidence of innocence. The Registry also maintains a more limited database of known exonerations prior to 1989."For more information of the National Registry of Exonerations:https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/about.aspxReynaldo Munoz: https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/casedetail.aspx?caseid=6166Nancy Smith:https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/casedetail.aspx?caseid=6176Joseph Allen :https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/casedetail.aspx?caseid=6175David Faulkner: https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/casedetail.aspx?caseid=6178Ernest Green: https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/casedetail.aspx?caseid=6184Vincent Simmons: https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Pages/casedetail.aspx?caseid=6146Theodore Wilkins, Rasaan Shannon, John Williams, Joseph Wright, Leroy Williams, Walter Thomas, Anthony Wright, Christopher Turner were the new victims of Srg Dickhead Watts, that were added to the registry since last month.

Who is the artist? Where does art come from? What is the future of art? Doing a comprehensive view of Nietzsche's take on artists is probably too big a topic for any one episode, so here we will concern ourselves primarily with these questions, the answers to which all involve the idea that the artist is a sort of alchemist of the psyche, who works with the raw material of the soul in order to channel, redirect, heighten or deaden one's inner feelings. The artist thus emerges from the type of the priest or the saint, who worked with the feelings of guilt and resentment. The artist is the type who emerges from the restrictions of a given religious mindset and dares to work his artistic magic outside of any institution or dogma. Is the artist therefore a benefit to society and culture, and a rebel against the rigidness of religion? For Nietzsche, it's not that simple, because of the fundamental problem that art deceives. It draws its power from its incompleteness, its willingness to represent reality in accordance with drives or passions instead of facts, and ultimately dwells within the realm of deception. As Nietzsche himself is both an artist and a philosopher, he feels this contradiction therefore within him. Alas, the great philosopher, Nietzsche, is only fool, only poet!

As we now approach the two week mark on the conflict in Ukraine, I've invited two guests on the program this week to talk with us about how we got here, how this conflict will affect other countries surrounding Russia and Ukraine, and where - or rather how - we see this ending. Join me as I discuss this unfolding situation with Brent Hierman, a professor in the Department of International Studies and Political Science at Virginia Military Institute, and Joseph Wright, a professor in the Department of Political Science at Pennsylvania State University.

This is money that flows between individuals and families and largely circumvents governments and that's a hugely important point, because the real take home of the book is that when these financial flows are controlled by citizens, it tips the balance of power in favor of citizens.

A case of the Omicron variant of coronavirus has been confirmed at a school in Kent - believed to be the first case in the county. Someone at Northfleet Technology College near Gravesend tested positive early last week and has now been told they have the new strain - hear a statement released by the school. Meantime, another school in Kent is coming in for criticism after students were removed from lessons and given detentions for wearing face masks in class. Also in today's podcast, there are calls for the park and ride service in Canterbury to be scrapped. The council's been making a loss from it as passenger numbers continue to fall short of pre-pandemic levels - hear from Joseph Wright who's written the story. The Conservatives have held onto their seat in the Old Bexley and Sidcup by-election. There was a low voter turnout and a 10 percent swing to Labour, who came second. The KentOnline Podcast has been told there's been a huge increase in the number of child abuse image offences recorded by police in Kent over the past five years. New data shows they've dealt with 5-thousand-187 cases in the county since 2016 - with the biggest rise during the pandemic. The NSPCC have spoken out. And, Europe's largest truck stop has opened in Ashford today. The site on the Henwood Industrial Estate in Sevington has space for 650 lorries, as well as a state of the art facilities including a gym and restaurant.

Joseph Wright is well know for his passion toward music which led him get accustomed with different styles of music. His love for music has driven him to expand the possibilities with musical artists who also sought having more options to express themselves and be with like-minded creatives. It was with such zeal, HVTV was born which is creating opportunities for business, networking, jobs, internships, mentoring and more in the field of music. In our latest episode of Business Influencers. Our esteemed host Chris Salem is going to have an exciting conversation with Joseph Wright, the icon of music world.

Joseph Wright, a native of the West Riding of Yorkshire, started working in a factory at the age of 6. He did not learn to read until he was 15, inspired to do so by a workmate who read news bulletins about the Franco-Prussian War. Wright was taught by another worker who used the Bible and Pilgrim's Progress as texts. He then attended night school, for six pence a week;  practiced shorthand by taking down sermons in the Methodist chapel his family atteneded; was part of a Sunday school where he organized a lending library; and at the age of 18 started his own night school. But the time time he was 21, he had saved up enough for a term at the University of Heildelberg, to which he walked 250 miles from the port of Antwerp in order to save his money. Eventually he earned  a PhD from Heidelberg in comparative linguistics, and from 1901 to 1925, Joseph Wright was Professor of Comparative Philology at the University of Oxford, a pioneer in the study of regional English dialect, and taught among others J.R.R. Tolkein. While his eventual profession might make Wright extraordinary, many of the particulars of his education were absolutely typical, as Jonathan Rose makes clear in his monumental book The Intellectual Life of the British Working Classes. Published in 2001, it won the Jacques Barzun Prize in Cultural History, the Longman-History Today Historical Book of the Year Prize and the British Council Prize. Its third edition is published this fall by Yale University Press. Jonathan Rose is the William R. Kenan Professor of History at Drew University. He served as the founding president of the Society for the History of Authorship, Reading and Publishing, and also as the president of the Northeast Victorian Studies Association.  

Refugees and migrants take their path for many different reasons one of which is economic. How does the money they send back to their homes - remittance - change their families, communities and even governments? Outside of this how does their new cultural capital impact how they see the world around them and from where they travelled from? Pennsylvania State University's Joseph Wright, along with Abel Escribà-Folch and Covadonga Meseguer have written Migration and Democracy: How Remittances Undermine Dictatorships - available in the US right now and the UK early 2022 - to look at these questions and more.

This newsletter is really a public policy thought-letter. While excellent newsletters on specific themes within public policy already exist, this thought-letter is about frameworks, mental models, and key ideas that will hopefully help you think about any public policy problem in imaginative ways. It seeks to answer just one question: how do I think about a particular public policy problem/solution?PS: If you enjoy listening instead of reading, we have this edition available as an audio narration on all podcasting platforms courtesy the good folks at Ad-Auris. If you have any feedback, please send it to us.Global Policy Watch: No Telefoon in Rangoon - RSJMere Piya Gaye Rangoon Wahan Se Kiya Hai Telefoon is how C. Ramchandra immortalised Rangoon (Yangon) in our collective memories all those years ago. Unfortunately, ‘wahan se kiya hai telefoon’ is a tad difficult these days for the people of Yangon. Myanmar should be aware of the idea of eternal recurrence by now. That all events in the world recur in the same pattern over an eternal series of cycles. The coup earlier this month by the Tatmadaw (the armed forces) was a case of history repeating itself three times over in its short post-war history. The reason served by the military had a familiar ring to it. It alleged widespread voter fraud in the November 2020 elections that led to a landslide victory for Aung San Suu Kyi helmed National League For Democracy (NLD). The quasi-democracy that was in place in Myanmar since 2015 didn’t mean any loosening of the iron-fist of the Tatmadaw. It retained its control on the key levers of power. For it to allege voter fraud in elections is comical. It must follow then it is admitting its incompetence in being dictatorial. Anyway, leave that aside. History has shown logic isn’t a particular strength of military junta anywhere in the world. But irony is The senior-most military leader Gen. Min Aung Hlaing had this to say:“I would seriously urge the entire nation to join hands with the Tatmadaw (Army) for the successful realisation of democracy.” Then the junta went digital with its defence. In a country where Facebook is the internet, it posted this on its official site:After many requests, this way was inevitable for the country and that's why we had to choose it. And soon it blocked Facebook and disabled the internet for the sake of ‘stability’ in the country. The tanks were on the street and midnight knocks on the doors of NLD leaders began. Suu Kyi was taken into custody and the crackdown started. It was 1988 once again for Myanmar. The eternal cycle had recurred.As Nietzsche wrote:"Everything has returned. Sirius, and the spider, and thy thoughts at this moment, and this last thought of thine that all things will return".  Myanmar has been living through a transition to a fledgling democracy over the last decade. A new constitution that allowed for representative democracy and elections took shape in 2008. In 2015, NLD won the general elections and Suu Kyi became the State Counsellor (the equivalent of PM) of Myanmar. She is constitutionally barred from becoming the President because she was married to a foreigner and her children aren’t citizens of Myanmar. There was an uneasy truce between her and the military over the last term as Myanmar saw an unprecedented period of opening up to the world, growth and freedom for its people. Anyone who visited it in the last five years would vouch for how ‘normal’ it felt. So, why the coup now? There’s never an easy answer to this. For all you know it could be General Hlaing having a bad hair day. But let’s look at it through the frames of political and social philosophy to arrive at few likely reasons.Firstly, the old Weberian power and legitimacy lens. Power is the ability to impose your will over others despite their resistance. Legitimacy is when this power is considered fair, even appropriate, by those over whom it is exercised. As Weber wrote:“The basis of every system of authority, and correspondingly of every kind of willingness to obey, is a belief, a belief by virtue of which persons exercising authority are lent prestige”  Power needs prestige to be legitimate. Else, it is coercion. In Myanmar, the junta always had power but rarely legitimacy. In the quasi-democracy era, the junta ceded a thin sliver of power to the NLD. But legitimacy is a strange meal. It can feed that feeble power and bestow it with enormous strength. A second term for NLD would have done exactly that. Power is a zero-sum game. The army generals know it. People sense the winds of change fast. The military couldn’t take any further chances with this version of democracy. Self-preservation kicked in on Feb 1, 2021.Secondly, a recurring self-delusion that most authoritarians suffer from is how popular they are among the masses. The Constitution of Myanmar was drafted in a manner that favours large, majoritarian parties. You get a disproportionate number of seats regardless of the margin of victory on vote count. This was, of course, deliberate. There were two reasons for this. One, Myanmar is a multi-ethnic country with a distinct minority presence in its southwestern and northeastern borders. But the polity (the military and the NLD) is dominated by the majority Burmese Buddhists. A majoritarian Constitution is quite convenient. Two, General Hliang probably harbours political ambitions. His term ends this year. He backed the opposition in this elections thinking a victory would see him transition to being a President soon. The results were a shocker. 83 per cent of seats to NLD. The way the election rules have been drafted (by him) would now suggest an almost permanent NLD majority for the next many elections. This wasn’t acceptable. His network of businesses and the many interests of his family and friends could not be left to the mercy of mere civilian politicians. The general didn’t see himself in his labyrinth. This is the old authoritarian problem. You overestimate your popularity. No one tells you the truth. You call for the elections. Then you can’t handle the truth (no copyright issue here; Aaron Sorkin is a friend). Exhibit A of this behaviour is Indira Gandhi right after the emergency. Exhibits B, C, D.. are all dictators too many to name here. This is why good authoritarians go the other way. They change the constitution to reduce the freedoms of the opposition, they extend their terms or they take elections out from the political equation. General Hliang must speak more often to his friends who are on his speed dial - Xi, Putin or Erdogan. Thirdly, this is as good a time to mount a coup with little or no fear of international repercussions. Political cosmopolitanism is in a state of irrelevance now. The idea that states should be subject to some kind of international morality and they must behave in a manner consistent with it is at its weakest. The pandemic has further raised the walls at the borders. Transnational economic or political ideas have to contend with them. It is no surprise that international condemnation of the Myanmar coup is muted. China has asked all parties to resolve their differences internally (ha!). ASEAN, the largest market for Myanmar, has responded in a similar vein. The Biden administration has imposed sanctions and this will be followed by a few other western democracies. They hardly matter. Myanmar has lived in isolation for long to be concerned with them. So, what does the future hold for Myanmar? Will this emergency be a mere one-year interregnum and will we have democracy back after it? Freedom is addictive. Even in the smallest of doses. There’s a view that whatever passed off for democracy in the last decade will be too strong in public memory for the junta to erase altogether. Despite the internet ban, street protests are spreading and, importantly, the arms of the state like bureaucracy, police and public servants (bank or healthcare workers) are participating in a departure from the past. Will these be enough? As a realist, I understand the state can play the waiting game for long and with an increasing degree of coercion. There’s little likelihood of a Yangon spring this season. Global Policy Watch: I am Small, I contain Multitweets— Pranay KotasthaneDo I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself; (I am large, I contain multitudes.)— From Walt Whitman's Song of Myself That's too nuanced a point for social media warriors of all persuasions. After all, it's now possible to judge and crucify someone — notwithstanding their unique life experiences and resulting perspectives — merely on the basis of what they tweet. Or what they don't. Just imagine. Our social media profiles — filled with inane and often ill-thought System 1 garbage output — are our most important extrinsic manifestations. It's tragic.Two recent instances drove home this point to me yet again. One, an Indian-origin Oxford University Student Union President-elect had to step down after someone dug up her old Instagram posts containing some pretty terrible (and not even funny) wordplay about a holocaust memorial. As if the label “insensitive” wasn’t sufficient, more posts were dug up to also label her "racist" and "anti-LGBTQ". What the person is today in real life, I have no idea. But what seems pretty clear to me is that past Instagram mistakes don't deserve anything more than a sincere apology. That’s unfortunately not the case though. If the internet remembers everything, social media extracts a heavy penalty for everything remembered.The second instance was a shoddy article in The Caravan titled Establishment Man: The Moral Timidity of Sachin Tendulkar. Among other things, the author was able to make gross generalisations such as "… Tendulkar also shares the worst traits of the Indian middle-class: its indifference to the general good, its lack of commitment to the values of human rights and democracy, and its intellectual vacuousness" merely on the basis of Tendulkar’s Twitter feed. The specific accusation is that while Tendulkar joined the orchestrated chorus against Rihanna's tweet, his 'Twitter stayed silent' when Wasim Jaffer was removed as the coach of the Uttarakhand cricket team.This is not a defence of Tendulkar. As much as I admire him as a cricketer, I understand that a great cricketer can also be a craven follower. But I do have a problem when this judgment gets made merely on what he didn’t tweet about. For instance, the author is quick to conclude, on the basis of a Twitter feed that “..his personal decency has always been accompanied by a deeply ingrained timidity towards authority, a primal fear of upsetting any establishment, whether cricketing or otherwise.” Yet, Tendulkar’s 2009 statement “Mumbai belongs to all Indians”, going against the well-entrenched parochial ‘Marathi Manoos’ politics, doesn’t get even a cursory mention. Similarly, the author doesn’t even attempt to show if he investigated Tendulkar’s off-Twitter support for Jaffer’s shameful ouster. After all, there is a lot someone like Tendulkar can do — and we can expect him to do in this case — than merely signal virtue on Twitter. The Wrong Path ChosenThese two instances illustrate that we give others’ social media feeds way too much importance. The first instance follows a well-established practice of digging up old tweets to defame a present-day achiever. This tendency ignores the fact that the most important human preference is our ability to change our past preferences. Moreover, the more we label people, the more we polarise our politics. Philip Tetlock claims that text analyses studies show that people already tweet more like politicians (signalling virtue) or as prosecutors (assigning blame) rather than as hypothesis testers. And so, disproportional attention to our social media past will only make more people don the role of politicians and prosecutors — ready to fight every battle across the world while burning bridges in our vicinity. The Tendulkar case is a more recent trend — people are to be judged not only on the basis of what they tweet but also what they don't. This too has a similar effect of pushing us into becoming prosecutors who are obligated to jump from one burning issue to the next without solving any.Finally, to pay disproportional attention to our social media selves is both foolish and dangerous. To rebuild broken bridges, we need to assume by default that people contain multitudes. It's going to be tough. Answer to the Quiz in #108Yes, the answer is BR Ambedkar, who else? Those were the excerpts from the election manifesto of the Scheduled Castes Federation from 1951. SCF was a precursor to the Republican Party of India. The entire election manifesto is a fascinating read. As one can expect from Ambedkar’s writings, this manifesto is not just a vague litany of promises but a rare well-reasoned agenda. Sample this:IV. Co-operation between Scheduled Castes Federation and other Political Parties 51. Mere Organization does not make a party. A party means a body of people who are bound by principles. Without principles a party cannot function as a party for in the absence of principles there is nothing to hold the members of it together. A party without principles is only a caravanserai. The Scheduled Castes Federation will not, therefore, ally itself with a Political Party which has not laid down its principles and whose constitution does not demand a pledge from its members to stand by those principles and whose principles are not in antogonism with these of the Federation.52. It is not enough to have political ideals. What is necessary is the victory of ideals. But the victory of ideals can be ensured only by organized parties and not by individuals. For these reasons the Federation will not support independent candidates who belong to no party except in exceptional cases...54. As regards other Political Parties, the Scheduled Castes Federation’s attitude can be easily defined. The Scheduled Castes Federation will not have any alliance with any reactionary Party such as the Hindu Mahasabha or the R. S. S.55. The Scheduled Castes Federation will not have any alliance with a Party like the Communist Party the objects of which are to destroy individual freedom and Parliamentary Democracy and substitute in its place a dictatorship.The manifesto can be read here (page 386).

How did the Restoration of the English monarchy and the dawn of empire set the stage for the peculiar set of practices and assumptions that we now call "science," and how did they begin to unlock powerful secrets of the earth, the heavens, fire, and steam? And why did John Locke kind of secretly hate Isaac Newton?

Erasmus Darwin was a man of many talents; not only was he a successful physician, a popular poet, an ardent abolitionist and a pioneering botanist, he also worked out how organisms evolve, some 70 years before his grandson Charles's theories about this revolutionised science. He is credited with many inventions and discoveries including the steering mechanism used in modern cars, the gas laws of clouds and a document copying machine. And he knew how to live life to the full; he fathered at least 14 children and his love of food meant that his dining table had to have a chunk sawn out of it to accommodate his considerable waistline. Joining Rajan Datar to explore the life and work of this remarkable man are Dr Patricia Fara, Emeritus Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge, and biographer of Erasmus Darwin; Dr Malcolm Dick, director of the Centre for West Midlands History at the University of Birmingham; and Maurizio Valsania, professor at the University of Turin in Italy who specialises in 18th Century intellectual history.

The National Gallery is launching a new tour with the help of young people from the McPinn Foundation challenging stereotypes in mental health. The tour focuses on works of art which confront commonly held myths. Claudia meets Lucy who was diagnosed with anorexia at 13 and Helen Fisher from the Institute of Psychiatry , Psychology & Neuroscience, King's College London, Kings College, to see their favourite exhibits including “An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump” by Joseph Wright 'of Derby' and “The Vision of the Blessed Gabriele” by Carlo Crivelli. A magnificent domed room which hosted daily piano concerts during the Second World War and survived the bombing demonstrates the resilience often felt by people recovering from mental ill health. The tour is available for free until 10th April 2020 via smartphones. (tiny.cc/ngmentalhealth) Studio guest Mathijs Lucassen of the Open University discusses his latest research on LGBT teenagers and mental health. Plus, most people are used to the idea that as we get older there is a diminishing of our abilities, but Professor Roger Kreutz of Memphis University in his book “Changing Minds” demonstrates that language is one skill that can just get better. And with the aim of improving brain health Dr Alastair Noyce and colleagues recently launched a European report which says “Time Matters”.

Science and art have not always been separately defined. Leonardo Da Vinci studied anatomy, neuroscientist Cajal created beautiful drawings of the cells in the cerebellum and hippocampus, and the painter John Constable observed the skies with an almost scientific study.Though their pursuits have diverged into distinct fields, the relationship between art and science has remained tightly woven together.Documenting the history of this tumultuous relationship is The Art of Innovation. Comprised of a 20-part BBC Radio 4 series, an exhibition at the Science Museum and an accompanying book, The Art of Innovation shows how scientific discoveries have influenced, and been influenced by, artists and the general public.Editorial assistant Amy Barrett visited the Science Museum’s Dana Research Centre and Library to meet the Head of Collections & Principle Curator at the Science Museum and the co-host of The Art of Innovation radio series, Dr Tilly Blyth.The Science Museum’s major free exhibition runs from now until the 24 January 2020.

We look at rotters in fiction: do women have equal status with men when it comes to being bad in books? Rotters have populated the novel since Robert Lovelace first appeared in Samuel Richardson’s Clarissa nearly two centuries ago. But what exactly is a rotter, how do rotters differ from cads and, when women are rotters, are they given equal treatment by both their writers and their readers? John Mullan, Professor of Literature at UCL and critic Alex Clark discuss the rotter's progress. “Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun…” It is 200 years, to the very day, since John Keats wrote To Autumn, distilling the sights, sounds, even smell of the season and capturing its essence in three carefully crafted stanzas that are among the best-loved in the language. We hear a reading and Alison Brackenbury explains how the poem works and her response to it as a poet. The Science Museum and BBC Radio 4 have been collaborating on an exploration of the relationship between art and science over 250 years. The result is The Art of Innovation: From Enlightenment to Dark Matter, which is an exhibition, a book and a 20-part radio series. Dr Tilly Blyth, Principal Curator, and one of the programme presenters tells Stig about Joseph Wright’s famous painting of a scientific lecture; how Turner captured impact of the emerging age of steam and how artists tackle depicting science that can’t be seen. Presenter: Stig Abell Producer: Simon Richardson

This episode of the Korea Now podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with Joseph Wright. They speak about the nature of North Korea's autocratic regime, its unique longevity, the importance of having two significant early international patrons, the control asserted over the military and political institutions by the Kim dynasty, and the highly ‘personalistic' nature of the regime. Beyond this core structure, they talk through other aspects of Joseph's research on coups, democratisation, foreign aid, regime change and human rights prosecutions. Joseph Wright is a political scientist and Co-Director of Global and International Studies at Pennsylvania State University. He has previously held a position as the ‘Jeffrey L. and Sharon D. Hyde Early Career Professorship', and is the author of Foreign Pressure and the Politics of Autocratic Survival (Oxford University Press) and How Dictatorships Work (Cambridge University Press). Important to this podcast, he is also the author of the article, ‘The North Korean autocracy in comparative perspective' (http://sites.psu.edu/wright/files/2017/11/Song-Wright-NKorea-1cydpln.pdf).

… this amazing mountain continues to exhibit such various scenes of sublimity and beauty at exactly the distance one would chuse to observe it from; a distance which almost admits examination, and certainly excludes immediate fear … columns of flame, high as the mountain’s self, shoot from its crater into the clear atmosphere with a loud and violent noise … a thick cloud, charged heavily with electric matter, passing over, met the fiery explosion … Hester Thrale, 17891 Mount Vesuvius was especially active in the late eighteenth and for most of the nineteenth century.2This fact, along with a growing awareness of the natural sciences in this period, meant the volcano attracted a great deal of interest. Indeed images of Vesuvius in various states of activity, as well as other scenes of uncontrollable nature – avalanches, storms, fires – became synonymous with the Sublime and with Romantic art. In the 1770s the English artist Joseph Wright of Derby, Frenchman Pierre-Jacques Volaire and German Jacob Philipp Hackert all produced views of Vesuvius, establishing the conventions for subsequent images. They presented the erupting volcano as a spectacle by moonlight, rivers of lava observed by tiny frock-coated gentlemen, juxtaposed against the built environment or surrounded by calm harbours. The paintings produced by later Romantic artists tended, on the other hand, to portray the volcano with as much precision and more emotion. In 1818, Dahl, Bergen-born and Copenhagen-trained, set out for an extensive study tour of the continent – although he didn’t make it very far. Travelling via Poland and then Berlin, he settled in Dresden where, apart from his 1820–21 sojourns to Italy and frequent trips back to Norway, he remained for the rest of his life. Dahl witnessed some of the 1820 eruptions while in Naples; he sketched Vesuvius on the spot, subsequently producing many paintings based on these experiences. Dahl shares this fantastic composition with his friend and compatriot, the Viennese painter Josef Rebell.3In both paintings, the profusion of colour, audacity of the scene and its sheer extremes – the gleam of the bright moonlit sky, the glow of molten lava tumbling into the sea, the treacherous waves set against perilous rocks – convey ‘not a sense of fear but a sort of ecstasy’.4 Much of the fascination of Eruption of Vesuvius is a result of the combination of the opposing elements of fire and water. Usually a stormy sea such as this would be enough in itself to engender a sense of awe. Here it is pitted against a volcano, which shoots flames into the sky, fills the sky with black smoke and scatters fiery girandoles far and wide. The debris even reaches a stone monument adorned with a cross, on the rocky shore opposite – dangerously close to where we are standing! On the right-hand side, soot merges with the silhouetted coast. The moon ventures through the darkened clouds, just enough to cast light on the foreboding scene below. This is Sublime Nature. We feel the power of Vesuvius and anticipate its destructive forces. Lucina Ward 1 Herbert Barrows (ed.), Observations and reflections: made in the course of a journey through France, Italy and Germany by Hester Lynch Piozzi, Ann Arbor: The University of Michigan Press, 1967, pp. 223–4. 2 There were six major eruptions in the 1700s and a further eight next century: in 1822, 1834 and 1839; two each in the 1850s and 1860s; and again in 1872. 3 It is not known if Dahl’s is a copy after Rebell, or whether the two artists worked together in Italy.

When Glover arrived in Hobart in 1831, the thirty-year conflict between the Tasmanian Aborigines and the European settlers was nearing an end. During this time George Augustus Robinson – the appointed Protector of Aborigines – had been relocating the majority of two hundred Indigenous people to Flinders Island. Only two months before he left Hobart for his new property of Patterdale in northern Tasmania, Glover made two group portraits showing twenty-six members of the Big River and Oyster Bay Aboriginal tribes before their transfer to Flinders Island. They became the subject of a number of significant paintings. Painted in 1832, the year of his move to Patterdale, A corrobery of natives in Mills Plains is Glover’s finest and probably earliest Aboriginal subject. Although the artist’s sketchbook contains a corroboree drawing for this landscape, he could not possibly have seen such an event on his property. As there were probably no Aborigines left in the area and certainly not enough to engage in a corroboree, the gathering is painted from his memory as well as his Hobart sketches. Of the artist’s numerous Aboriginal landscapes this is his first and his most moving and haunting, with its revelations of Glover’s sympathy for the departed Tasmanian Aborigines. Here he depicts an imagined re-creation of a corroboree within a romantic setting. The giant native tree, silhouetted against the sky, is bent and dying as the sun sinks, and so becomes a metaphor for the fate of the ancient race. Eight dancing and standing men holding spears, five seated women, two children and what appears to be an infant are gathered beneath the towering eucalypt. Dwarfed beneath the gum they appear almost to be ghosts of a former civilisation. Although Glover has taken possession of the land, it is not without some sense of guilt. And certainly, the theme of dispossession haunted Glover for the rest of his life as he re-created at least twenty such landscapes with Aborigines. Glover’s Patterdale paintings are ultimately based on the landscape devices of Claude Lorrain, Gaspard Dughet and, particularly, Jacob van Ruisdael. But in A corrobery of natives in Mills Plains the mysterious and ominous mood of the painting emulates the wildly romantic landscapes of Salvator Rosa and his depictions of wind-blasted trees and banditti (Italian outlaws). Finally the dusky and lurid sky echoes the highly romantic evening landscapes of Glover’s fellow countryman Joseph Wright of Derby. Though this is probably the first oil painting depicting Tasmanian Aborigines, Glover’s artistic forerunners in New South Wales had already painted night corroborees. Given the demise of the eighteenth-century concept of the ‘noble savage’ – which presented native people in light-filled arcadian paradises – it is not surprising that these images placed Indigenous peoples in a more ominous night light. Dances and ceremonies were presented as curious and heathenish while Indigenous people were represented as something to be feared and civilised by Christianity. Even so, the European settler’s envy is also expressed at their apparently happy and non-materialistic life. A corrobery of natives in Mills Plains can be seen as Glover’s valediction to a dying race. Traditions of European landscape art, romantic notions of the noble savage and his own Christian confidence in the face of paganism, enrich his melancholy testimony to the passing of a lively Aboriginal civilisation.
