Am Wochenende haben gleich zwei große Parteitage stattgefunden. In Warschau traf sich die liberale Bürgerkoalition von Premierminister Donald Tusk. Zur gleichen Zeit kam in Katowice die konservative Recht und Gerechtigkeit, kurz PiS, zusammen. Während Tusk von „deutschen Freunden“ sprach, warnte Jarosław Kaczyński vor „den Deutschen und den Franzosen“. Zwei Parteien – zwei völlig unterschiedliche Welten der polnischen Politik. Das ist eines unserer Themen heute.Außerdem geht es um den polnischen Oscar-Kandidaten „Franz Kafka“ von Agnieszka Holland. Und wir sprechen über die Folgen der industriellen Revolution in Europa.

2005 dog författaren Mare Kandre bara 42 år gammal. Katarina Wikars faller ner i radions arkiv och söker svar på frågan hur hon inspirerar samtiden. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Mare Kandre debuterade med en skräll vid 22 med I ett annat land. Redan då verkade hon så säker på sin talang och hade ett helt eget språk. Romanen Bübins unge anses vara hennes mästerverk, och har liknats vid Kafka och Dostojevskij. Ingen skrev om flickskap och revolt som Mare Kandre. Under 90-talet blev hon mer satirisk och gotisk innan hon i Hetta och Vitt närmade sig mer realistiska miljöer, som kriget i Jugoslavien.– För alla på skrivarskolor är hon smittsam, säger författaren Andrea Lundgren, som liknar jaget i Bübins unge vid en gotisk filifjonka. Kritikern Annina Rabe har läst hennes efterlämnade textfragment Den underjordiske brudgummen, som till skillnad från mycket annat Kandre skrev röjer en längtan efter förening.Ur arkiven träder Mare Kandre fram från 1984 fram till minnesprogrammet 2005, och vi hör bland annat författarna Aase Berg, Anneli Jordahl, Ebba Witt Brattström, Horace Engdahl, Kristina Lugn och Joen Gustavsson. Och intervjuer gjorda av Louise Epstein, Maria Edström, Monika Lauritzen, Kerstin Berggren, Göran Willis m.fl. Ett reportage av och med Katarina Wikars.Skriv till oss! bokradio@sverigesradio.se

Auf diesen Film hat niemand gewartet: Agnieszka Holland scheitert mit ihrem Versuch, den ganzen Kafka in einen Film zu pressen. „Franz K.“ ist ein pompöses Biopic mit einer Überfülle erzählerischer und visueller Allüren.

In this episode of De Nederlandse Kubernetes Podcast, we talk with Mustafa Hadadian, PhD researcher at the University of Groningen and founder of startup CAIDEL.Mustafa shares his journey from video game development to big data and Kubernetes innovation, and how his latest work explores a powerful concept: bringing inheritance into Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs).We dive into his poster presentation at KubeCon, titled “Extensible Kubernetes CRDs via Inheritance for Modularity and Reuse”, and discuss:

J.G. Ballard and Angela Carter were friends and co-conspirators in their witness to the postwar world and the liberation movements of the 1960s. Both were scathing in their antipathy towards the polite novels of manners and empire that still dominated English readers' appreciation and expectations. Pioneers in the liminal spaces between literary and ‘genre' fiction, and science fiction in particular, both of them are haunted by the visions of Swift, Shelley, Kafka and Borges. Ballard's ‘The Atrocity Exhibition' and 'The Passion of New Eve‘, considered together here along with Ballard's short story 'The Drowned Giant‘, are vivid, fearless, still shocking novels of ideas – if ‘The Atrocity Exhibition' can be described as a novel at all. Marina and Chloe discuss that question as they consider Ballard's catalogue of contemporary violence and pop culture transgression. Then they turn to Carter's own gleeful transgressions, born out of the ferment of 1970s cultural theory, which she explores and interrogates with inimitable style. But do the excesses of these works still speak to the present, and does their lack of restraint risk collapsing the whole category of the fantastic?

¡Vótame en los Premios iVoox 2025! Los lobos no lloran (Wolves Don't Cry) es un relato de hombres lobo del escritor norteamericano Bruce Elliott (1914-1973), publicado originalmente en la edición de abril de 1954 EN la revista The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, y luego reeditado en la antología de 1988: El monstruoso libro de los monstruos (The Monster Book Of Monsters). Análisis de: El Espejo Gótico https://elespejogotico.blogspot.com/2025/09/los-lobos-no-lloran-bruce-elliott.html Texto del relato extraído de: https://elespejogotico.blogspot.com/2025/09/los-lobos-no-lloran-bruce-elliott.html Musicas: - 01.

Hazlo con advoices.com/podcast/ivoox/352537 Los lobos no lloran, uno de los mejores cuentos de Bruce Elliott, presenta un enfoque original sobre el tema de la licantropía. De hecho, desarma y reconstruye esta leyenda de un modo asombroso. SPOILER El protagonista es un lobo que se transforma en humano. Al despertar en su jaula, descubre su nuevo cuerpo, y el personal del zoológico lo confunde con un loco o un borracho que entró a pasar la noche en la jaula, dejando escapar al lobo. Desconcertado, Lobo [así lo había llamado la gente del zoológico] descubre que no puede aullar, que su olfato se ha debilitado enormemente [para colmo, ahora su nariz está lejos del suelo] y puede ver colores que antes no percibía. Lobo es trasladado a un hospital psiquiátrico. Es encerrado en una celda [con barrotes, como su jaula en el zoológico] y obligado a diversas cuestiones que considera indignas: usar ropa, comer una papilla insípida en lugar de carne, caminar sobre sus patas traseras y seguir nuevas normas sociales. Sin embargo, lo peor de todo es que Lobo extraña a su hembra, su olor, y a sus cachorros. A pesar de su incomodidad, Lobo se adapta al nuevo entorno y aprende a comportarse como un humano, incluso adquiere cierto manejo de los extraños sonidos que emiten los bípedos y empieza a comunicarse con ellos. Lo más sorprendente es que aprende a llorar, algo que los lobos son incapaces de hacer. Al salir del hospital, Lobo asiste a un cine y ve una película de hombres lobo donde el protagonista examina un libro que describe cómo un ser humano puede convertirse en lobo a través de un ritual, que debe realizarse con un cinturón de piel humana. Bruce Elliott no lo menciona específicamente, pero se trata del libro de Sabine Baring-Gould de 1865: El libro de los hombres lobo (The Book of Were-Wolves). Lobo lleva a cabo el ritual con algunas modificaciones; por ejemplo, el cinturón es de piel de lobo, no humana, y recupera su forma original [ver: Atrapado en el cuerpo equivocado] Antes de eso, Lobo mantiene relaciones con una mujer humana y ella queda embarazada. Ya en su forma original, Lobo regresa al zoológico, de noche, y se echa junto a la jaula de su antigua compañera. Al amanecer, los empleados lo reconocen y lo hacen entrar en la jaula. Allí, un día, ve a una mujer que se acerca con un carrito de bebé. El niño es humano, pero tiene ojos extraños. Lobo imagina cómo el niño, su hijo humano [lo reconoce por su olor], algún día padecerá algo que, para el resto del mundo, incluso para él mismo, será una maldición: «Y el último pensamiento que tuvo al respecto fue de infinita lástima por su pequeño hijo, quien, en una noche de luna llena, se arrodillaría y se convertiría en un animal, para luego vagar en la oscuridad en busca de algo que jamás llegaría a comprender.» Los lobos no lloran de Bruce Elliott no solo invierte la leyenda del hombre lobo, sino que prescinde de todas las convenciones del género, encontrando en el proceso distintos puntos de enlace con la estructura original. Por ejemplo, el hijo humano de Lobo será un licántropo, y esto será un misterio para él. Nunca sabrá que su padre fue, en realidad, un lobo. También es interesante que el comportamiento de los licántropos se deba a la incomodidad física que experimenta un lobo que debe articular los movimientos de un cuerpo humano [ver: Razas y clanes de hombres lobo] Bruce Elliott no proporciona ninguna explicación sobre por qué Lobo se convierte en humano al principio. Como Gregor Samsa en La metamorfosis (Die Verwandlung) de Franz Kafka; no hay maldiciones ni infecciones detrás de la transformación [ver: Kafka y lo Kafkiano]. A falta de un origen es lícito pensar que, tal vez, Lobo fue anteriormente un humano, y vive inmerso en un ciclo de transformaciones. Es cierto, tiene compañera y cachorros, por lo cual ha sido animal durante bastante tiempo, pero también los tiene cuando luego es humano. Si bien hay algunos puntos en común, Lobo no es exactamente como Gregor Samsa; y ciertamente no pertenece a la tradición surrealista. Tampoco es una total inversión de convenciones sino una expansión. Por ejemplo, la escena en el cine hace referencia al rol tradicional del licántropo en las películas de terror, y el ritual posterior se vincula con la leyenda del nigromante que manipula fuerzas oscuras. Todo eso forma parte de este universo, pero el eje de la historia no es un humano que se convierte en lobo, sino un lobo, convertido en humano, que busca ser lobo otra vez [ver: Análisis psicológico del Hombre Lobo] Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

The season sets a feast and then walks away from the table. We dive into Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 with equal parts excitement and frustration, unpacking why an 11-episode cutoff lands at the worst possible moment and how that choice blunts an otherwise strong arc. We trace the big beats—Kafka's mounting risk with every transformation, Director Shinomiya's devastating assimilation, and Number Nine's calculating hunt—and show how the anime's trims soften emotional impact the manga delivers in full.What hit us hardest was the family thread that should ground the chaos. On the page, the Shinomiya father–daughter bond is layered with grief, love, and a promise broken by circumstance. The anime nods to it, but pulls back just when the story could deepen. Meanwhile, Kafka's struggle inches from metaphor to consequence: scars that don't fade, features that harden, and a question the season teases but refuses to answer—why him? Those dream fragments and lapses in control aren't throwaway visuals; they're breadcrumbs to a reveal the manga places right after this exact cliffhanger.We also break down the Number 10 suit and the captain's quiet genius—less bravado, more psychology—and why their sudden sync matters to the larger war. Then we zoom out to the production layer: pacing that feels like a marketing cadence, cut scenes that cost character, and a finale that trades closure for a trailer moment. If you loved the world but felt shortchanged by the endpoint, you're not alone. Our take: the core story still slaps, but this cour works best as part one of a binge, or with the manga as your compass.If this hits home, share the episode with a friend who's on the fence about Season 2, drop your grade for the cour, and tell us: binge now, wait for Season 3, or jump into the manga?

Jerry's first update of the day: Bengals take down the Steelers. Kafka praises Jaxson Dart's spark. Cashman responds to Jeter's criticism. Blue Jays even the series 2-2 with the Mariners, and the Dodgers keep winning despite Ohtani's absence.

Week 6 kicked off with a bang as the Bengals stunned the Steelers on a last-second FG, with Flacco and Rodgers lighting up the field—though Rodgers lost it when an offensive lineman tackled him mid-celebration. Gio says defenses are so weak right now anyone can win, while the Broncos struggled after flying back from London to face a rested Giants. In MLB, Jerry highlighted Kafka raving about Jaxson Dart, Cashman firing back at Jeter's digs, the Blue Jays evened their series 2-2 with Vlad homering, and the Dodgers keep winning without Ohtani. Bonus chaos: a Pittsburgh talk show host vowed a nipple piercing if the Steelers lost… and they did.

Kafka, Hašek, Věstonická Venuše, Gottwald nebo francouzští surrealisté Eluard a Breton. Co spojuje tuto různorodou skupinu?

1. Week 6 Takeaways-DKrom: Chiefs offense looks better than they have in ages*....and they have a major upgrade on the way in Rashee Rice -Hal: Can't wait until the trade deadline because everything's so jumbled up right now2. Week 6 Honors-GOAT of the Week (DKrom: Dave Canales, Hal: Justin Herbert)-Dunce of the Week (DKrom: Aaron Glenn, Hal: Jerry Jones)3. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being no panic at all, 10 being hide the kids), how panicked are you that the impatience and impulsive decision making of Titans ownership will ruin the promising talent that is Cam Ward? Also, each of the last four QB's selected at first overall (Trevor Lawrence, Bryce Young, Caleb Williams, and now Cam Ward) have had their head coach fired during their rookie campaign. On that same scale of 1-10, how alarming of a trend is this becoming for young QB's? 4. According to NFL insider Benjamin Allbright, a big name to watch for the Titans HC vacancy is Giants OC Mike Kafka. Keep in mind, Kafka worked together with Mike Borgonzi in Kansas City, where he was the QB's coach and had a very influential role in the development of Patrick Mahomes. And as these past three weeks have shown, he has done an excellent job with Jaxson Dart thus far. How good of a hire would Mike Kafka be? 5. Truth or Exaggeration (Division Race Edition)-There is a path for the Giants to win the NFC East-The NFC West will be a two-team race between the Rams and the Seahawks-The Falcons are a legit threat to the Bucs in the NFC South-The winner of the Packers/Lions game on Thanksgiving Day will win the NFC North-The Patriots should be the betting favorite to win the AFC East-If their offense continues the improvement it has shown the last two games, the Texans will leapfrog the Colts and Jaguars to win the AFC South -Thanks to their red hot offense, Bo Nix's sophomore struggles and the Chargers injury issues, the Chiefs will win their 10th consecutive AFC West title -The Ravens will rally back from their four-game deficit and win their third consecutive AFC North title 6. Week 7 Game Picks-Lock of the Week (DKrom: Chiefs over Raiders, Hal: Panthers over Jets)-Upset Special (DKrom: Saints over Bears, Hal: Bucs over Lions)-Steelers at Bengals-Rams at Jaguars-Dolphins at Browns-Patriots at Titans -Eagles at Vikings-Colts at Chargers-Giants at Broncos-Packers at Cardinals-Commanders at Cowboys-Falcons at 49ers-Texans at Seahawks7. Bold Predictions-DKrom: Giants sack Bo Nix 10 times, 7 of them by Abdul Carter (including a strip-sack fumble late in the fourth quarter to set up the game-winning FG)-Hal: Baker Mayfield throws 5 TD to 5 different people, and leads his team to another last-second game-winning FG8. Challenge Flags-DKrom: Chiefs and other teams favored by a TD or more...DO NOT PLAY DOWN TO YOUR COMPETITION!!!!-Hal: Cam Ward...keep your chin up and look to Drake Maye and Caleb Williams as an example of where you could be!!!!

"In the context of where Confluent can play a critical part, it's also the interoperable integration with all the respective AI ecosystems. If you think about what AI is doing, it's working across microservices, working across data lakehouses, databases - could be a different endpoint service. Bringing all that together in a secure and consistent manner, constantly serving that information, is where I think it plays the most pivotal role." - Kamal Brar Fresh out of the studio, Kamal Brar, Senior Vice President of Worldwide ISV and Asia Pacific/Middle East at Confluent, joins us to explore how data streaming platforms are becoming the critical foundation for enterprise AI across the regions. He shares his career journey from Oracle to Confluent, reflecting on his passion for open source technologies and how the LAMP stack era shaped his understanding of real-time data challenges. Kamal explains Confluent's evolution from the category creator of Kafka to a comprehensive data streaming platform combining Kafka, Flink, and Iceberg, emphasizing how real-time data infrastructure enables businesses to harness both public AI models and proprietary enterprise data while maintaining governance and security. He highlights compelling customer stories from India's National Payments Corporation processing billions of UPI transactions daily to healthcare AI applications serving patient needs, showcasing how data streaming solves fragmentation challenges that plague 89% of enterprises attempting AI adoption. Addressing implementation hurdles, he stresses that data infrastructure is the most critical piece for AI success, advocating for standards-based interoperability through Kafka's protocol and Confluent's extensive connector ecosystem to unlock siloed legacy systems. Closing the conversation, Kamal shares his vision for Asia Pacific becoming Confluent's largest growth region, powered by massive-scale innovations in payments, mobile transformation, and AI on the edge for autonomous vehicles and next-generation interfaces.

"What the hell is water?" Art, music, literature, drama. When the frontiers of human potential slam against capitalist industry, a force that can't be stopped confronts an object that can't be moved. Capitalism twists and redirects culture and imagination into a revenue stream, limiting to its flow the ideas we're allowed have and drowning all the rest. At the nexus of pop culture and "Pop Culture" struggles Superman, swimming against the current. ---------- Special thanks to our Lovable Sidekicks: Better Possible Futures, Kourtney Smith, Walt Lewellyn, Kafka, The Black Casebook's Very Own Nightwing, JD Lunt, Ambird, Mr. Pig from the Intervention, Travis Armstrong, Chris Marks, Wirecats, Sheeee-itttt, VoidTek, Mars Hottentot, Richard Bell, TakoTuesday, Joseph, and Knife Money ---------- Email: collectiveactioncomics@gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/collectiveactioncomics Twitter: https://twitter.com/CAComixPod Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/cacomixpod.bsky.social Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/collectiveactioncomics

V 25. díle videopodcastu týdeníku Respekt Dělníci kulturyspolu Jindřiška Bláhová, Petr Horký a Jan H. Vitvar debatují otom, co je v uplynulém týdnu v kultuře zaujalo a o své aktuálnípráci. Tentokrát došlo na:obnovení talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!knihy Andrzeje Sapkowského Zaklínač – Rozcestí krkavců (Leonardo) a Vratislava Brabence Kůň mimochodník (Maťa)StarDance Tourúčast filmů Nevděčné bytosti a Kafka na festivalu v San Sebastiánuseriály Černý králík, Zaklínač a Bluey retrospektivu Aleše Veselého Alešville a výstavu Dominika Adamce na Chalupeckého ceně (obě Veletržní palác NGP)tvorbu malířské dvojice Convict (Conrad Eric Armstrong a Viktor Valášek)Když už člověk jednou je, tak má sledovat kulturu v Respektu.

Snímek Franz právě vstupuje do kin. Jaký byl Kafka v soukromí a jak by asi popsal stav dnešního světa? „Neuvěřitelný technologicky vývoj by ho uchvátil, protože měl velký zájem o novinky a vynálezy a analogovou techniku. Cítil by ale také úzkost, kam lidstvo míří a do jaké míry jedinec vůbec nic neznamená“ usuzuje v rozhovoru pro Český rozhlas Plus režisérka filmu Agnieszka Holland.

„Režisérka Agnieszka Holland má jasnou vizi a přesně ví, co chce. Zároveň ale věří lidem, které si pro film vybrala,“ popisuje Tereze Kostkové natáčení snímku Kafka, ve kterém ztvárnila spisovatelovu osudovou ženu Milenu Jesenskou. „Hodně jsme zkoušeli, a ona se nás často ptala na pocity. Byl to tvůrčí proces, který mám moc ráda.“ Film ukazuje Franze Kafku jinak, než bývá zvykem – jako člověka, kterého těšil život.Všechny díly podcastu Blízká setkání můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

In a world increasingly dominated by visual and electronic noise, Robert Waxler and David Beckman's You Say, I Say: Staying Alive with Literature, Language, and Friendship (Rivertown Books, 2025) captures the enduring power of literature-not to resolve the great questions of human existence, but to help us explore those questions in ways that are eye-opening, life-changing, and profound. In September, 1962, two 18-year-old freshmen at Brown University named Bob Waxler and David Beckman first crossed paths. They quickly discovered they had a lot in common, especially an abiding fascination with language, literature, and the life of art. Four years later, as college seniors, they collaborated on a small book of poems, which brought them a flurry of attention, then faded into memory as the two friends began separate life journeys-Bob becoming a professor of literature at a Massachusetts college, David working as an advertising and promotion writer in New York with sidelines as a poet, playwright, and actor. In 2014, an article in the Brown alumni journal rekindled their connection. It sparked an exchange of emails that gradually blossomed into this book-an extended dialogue between two old friends on poetry, life, the passage of time, and the power of the written word. In You Say, I Say, Waxler and Beckman trade observations, opinions, questions, and arguments about the ways in which literature transforms, challenges, disturbs, and inspires us. Spurred by lifetimes largely dedicated to "deep reading," they debate the meaning and value of works ranging from Dante's Inferno and Shakespeare's King Lear to Tolstoy's Death of Ivan Ilych; the poems of Wordsworth, Blake, Coleridge, and Keats; and the works of T.S. Eliot, Kafka, Beckett and Joyce. They often uncover new and surprising facets of classic works in the glare of post-modern experience. And they even exchange a couple of new poems-their own work-triggering reflections on the creative process and its many unexpected twists. Along the way, Waxler and Beckman delve into questions that have haunted generations of readers and critics. And they reveal, directly and indirectly, how encounters with literature have shaped their intellects and their lives.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Peter Beinart speaks with UC Berkeley Professor Ussama Makdisi, who was recently informed that UC Berkeley shared his name, along with those of 159 other Berkeley faculty & students, with the federal government for "alleged incidents of antisemitism." Peter & Ussama discuss the absurdity of experience -- the accused have not been informed of any details of the allegations against them -- while looking at why UC Berkeley is not defending its faculty and students, how the Berkeley experience compares with how other universities have capitulated to the Trump administration, and whether academic freedom on campus will survive. Most urgently, they discuss how the attacks on universities are meant to distract from the genocide Israel is carrying out right now against Palestinians.  Resources on this topic include "UC Berkeley shares 160 names with Trump administration in ‘McCarthy era' move," The Guardian 9/12/25; "UC Berkeley professor warns of 'unprecedented crackdown' on academic freedom." NPR interview with Ussama Makdisi on 9/18/25 "When Universities Become Informants," by Judith Butler, 9/13/25 "Kafka-land at UC Berkeley," by Judith Butler, The Nation, 9/16/25 Dr. Ussama Makdisi is Professor of History and Chancellor's Chair at the University of California Berkeley.

Makdisi was awarded the Berlin Prize and spent the Spring 2018 semester as a Fellow at the American Academy of Berlin. Professor Makdisi's most recent book Age of Coexistence: The Ecumenical Frame and the Making of the Modern Arab World was published in 2019 by the University of California Press. He is also the author of Faith Misplaced: the Broken Promise of U.S.-Arab Relations, 1820-2001 (Public Affairs, 2010).  His previous books include Artillery of Heaven: American Missionaries and the Failed Conversion of the Middle East (Cornell University Press, 2008), which was the winner of the 2008 Albert Hourani Book Award from the Middle East Studies Association, the 2009 John Hope Franklin Prize of the American Studies Association, and a co-winner of the 2009 British-Kuwait Friendship Society Book Prize given by the British Society for Middle Eastern Studies. Makdisi is also the author of The Culture of Sectarianism: Community, History, and Violence in Nineteenth-Century Ottoman Lebanon (University of California Press, 2000) and co-editor of Memory and Violence in the Middle East and North Africa (Indiana University Press, 2006).

In which I talk to writer Christine Estima about her debut novel, Letters to Kafka. The novel conjures the voice of Milena Jesenská, the absent interlocutor to Franz Kafka's posthumously published Letters to Milena, in a vivid portrayal of a stifled intellectual whose spirit and ambition outpace the role of women in her time.

El economista argentino WALTER SOSA ESCUDERO nos habla sobre la CIENCIA DE LOS PRONÓSTICOS: ¿Cómo NETFLIX me conoce tanto? ¿Por qué el banco me negó un crédito? ¿Qué tienen que ver Borges y Kafka con “contar para atrás” y con el manejo de la incertidumbre? “La única forma de lidiar con lo incierto es asignándole probabilidades”, afirma Sosa, quien explorará desde decisiones cotidianas hasta análisis de vuelos con sobreventa, siempre bajo la premisa de que “la estadística no pretende ser verdadera sino útil”. El autor de “Borges, big data y yo” es investigador principal del Conicet y miembro titular de la Academia Nacional de Ciencias Económicas en Argentina. Este viernes presentará su nuevo libro, VIAJAR AL FUTURO (Y VOLVER PARA CONTARLO). Veremos por qué aunque las finanzas, la política y la vida cotidiana contienen aspectos predecibles, están repletas de eventos fundamentalmente IMPREDECIBLES. Como agrega el autor, “la omnipresencia del AZAR es, tal vez, la razón por la que, paradójicamente, las predicciones funcionan peor cuando uno más las necesita. El azar es bravo, difícil de reconocer y complejo de interpretar y manipular. Separar cuánto hay de azar y cuánto de sistemático es, tal vez, la tarea más compleja de la predicción. Cuando todo es azar, los pronósticos son, en el mejor de los casos, limitados y, en el peor, completamente inefectivos”. Sosa nos paseará por el MACHINE LEARNING y hasta por una ética del BUEN PRONOSTICADOR, aquel que sabe, por ejemplo, que todos los pronósticos tienen un margen de error, y por eso mismo hace un uso inteligente de los datos para minimizarlo. Al final, conviene entender cómo nuestras decisiones modelan futuros: “Leí por ahí que la mejor manera de predecir el futuro es creándolo. Pero también pienso que la forma más lamentable de predecir es creando el futuro incorrecto”, dice el autor.

How do we engage with our guilt and grief? Author Claire Oshetsky explores these themes in Poor Deer, a novel that tells the story of a young girl whose best friend died mysteriously. The girl is growing up through the struggle of denial, sadness, confusion -- and eventually, a kind of confrontation with truth. It's a wildly inventive story that is both unique and relatable, and it earned Oshetsky the 2025 Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize from the University of Rochester. Oshetsky is visiting Rochester this week and is one of our guests.In studio: Claire Oshetsky, author of the award-winning Poor Deer Chad W.

Let us know what you enjoy about the show!What if the things we've lost aren't really missing, but simply traveling? This tender retelling of a story attributed to Franz Kafka offers a profound perspective on change, transformation, and how we might relate differently to what we feel we've lost.Through the tale of a little girl whose doll goes missing in a Berlin park, we discover a beautiful metaphor for life's transitions. When a thin man suggests the doll isn't lost but traveling, he begins delivering letters that chronicle her adventures around the world. With each note, we learn alongside the child how “a postcard can be a doorway, how a suitcase can be a spine, how homesickness is just love with somewhere to go.”The story culminates in recognition and acceptance when the girl receives a new doll—embodying the way experience changes us. A short guided reflection invites you to consider your own “traveling dolls”: aspects of life that may be changing form rather than disappearing. What might they write to you today? What wisdom have they gathered on their journey?Whether you're navigating a transition, processing a loss, or simply curious about new ways to meet change, these six minutes offer a quiet pause to breathe, listen, and perhaps write your own postcard from whatever is moving in your life now.Note: This is a contemporary retelling of a story often attributed to Franz Kafka; the original letters were never found.If you are enjoying the show please subscribe, share and review!

️ Descripción del episodio / video El hombre es el niño del padre. Con esta cita de Wordsworth abrimos una reflexión íntima, emocional y poderosa sobre la figura del padre en la construcción de la identidad masculina. En este episodio de La teoría de la mente (o en este vídeo de AMADAG TV), nos sumergimos en un tema tan profundo como silenciado: la huella del padre en la vida de los hombres. ‍ A lo largo de más de 25 años en consulta, hemos escuchado cientos de historias marcadas por el deseo de aprobación, el peso del juicio, el miedo a decepcionar o la imposibilidad de ser vistos realmente por quien debió abrirnos la puerta a la vida. No se trata de restar importancia a las madres, sino de rescatar esa parte esencial de la experiencia masculina que muchas veces queda oculta bajo la coraza del silencio o la exigencia. A través de la historia de la famosa carta de Franz Kafka a su padre —un documento brutal, tierno y demoledor— exploramos cómo el amor no expresado, el juicio constante o la ausencia de reconocimiento pueden dejar cicatrices duraderas. Pero también nos acercamos a figuras como Richard Feynman o Pablo Picasso, quienes nos muestran cómo un padre puede abrir ventanas, inspirar mundos y legitimar el camino de un hijo. ️‍ ️ La figura del padre es más que un modelo: es, a veces, un portero simbólico que decide si mereces estar en la fiesta de la vida o si te colaste por error. Ese “ticket” simbólico es el que muchos hombres persiguen durante años, sin saber que quizás el botón que activa esa validación no está en sus manos, sino en la capacidad (o la limitación) del padre para reconocer sin desaparecer. En muchos casos, el camino hacia la salud emocional consiste en reconocer que ese permiso nunca llegó... y aún así seguir adelante. Dar el paso de convertirse en el padre que no se tuvo, ofrecerse uno mismo el reconocimiento que faltó y entender que no era Dios... era solo un hombre, con miedos, límites y su propia historia no resuelta. ✨ Porque tal vez no podamos cambiar el pasado, pero sí podemos escribir un nuevo presente. Un presente donde la curiosidad es una forma de amor, donde podemos mirar con ternura al niño que fuimos y decirle: “Lo hiciste bien, ahora sigue tu camino.” Palabras clave (SEO) relación padre hijo,hombres y sus padres,herida paterna,psicología del padre,relación paterna,figura del padre,trauma paterno,validación del padre,autoestima masculina,relación con el padre,kafka y su padre,carta al padre,psicología masculina,psicología emocional,paternidad,masculinidad y emociones,roles familiares,amor paterno,aceptación del padre,ausencia del padre,conflicto padre hijo,autoafirmación masculina,terapia para hombres,niño interior masculino,heridas emocionales Hashtags #RelaciónPadreHijo, #PsicologíaMasculina, #Kafka, #AutoestimaMasculina, #HeridaPaterna, #LaTeoríaDeLaMente Títulos sugeridos (con fórmulas clickbait) 4 cosas que todo hombre necesita escuchar de su padre (y casi nunca oye) Por qué dejar de buscar la aprobación de tu padre lo cambia todo Esta carta jamás fue leída… pero liberó a millones de hijos 5 heridas que te deja un padre que nunca te reconoció Esta manera de sanar tu relación con tu padre te cambiará para siempre Enlaces recomendados Nuestra escuela de ansiedad: www.escuelaansiedad.com Nuestro nuevo libro: www.elmapadelaansiedad.com Visita nuestra página Web: http://www.amadag.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Asociacion.Agorafobia/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amadag.psico/ ▶️ YouTube Amadag TV: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC22fPGPhEhgiXCM7PGl68rw

In banking, every second matters. Fraud happens in milliseconds. Customers demand instant answers. And AI can only deliver value if it's powered by live, real-time data. Yet many banks are still relying on batch reports and outdated systems, making decisions based on yesterday's insights. The shift can't wait. Forrester predicts that by 2025, half of all businesses will use AI-powered self-service as their primary customer touchpoint. That future won't be possible without real-time data at the core. Banks that leverage streaming data will transform customer experiences, manage risks more efficiently, and unlock the full potential of AI. Those who don't risk being left behind. Today, I'm joined by Guillaume Aymé, CEO of Lenses.io and a leading voice on data innovation. Together, we'll explore why real-time data is becoming the lifeblood of modern banking, the hurdles institutions must overcome, and how to build the foundation for AI-driven success. This episode of Banking Transformed is sponsored by Lenses Lenses 6.0 is a Developer Experience designed to empower organizations to modernize applications and systems with real-time data autonomy. This is particularly crucial as AI adoption accelerates, and enterprises operate hundreds of Kafka clusters across multi-cloud environments. As the industry's first multi-Kafka developer experience, Lenses 6.0 allows teams to access, govern and process streaming data across any combination of Apache Kafka-based streaming platforms, from a single interface. https://lenses.io/

Milena Jesenská was a courageous journalist, translator and resister of the Nazi regime. So why do most people only know her as Franz Kafka's lover? Milena was one of the great loves of Kafka's life, and his letters to her are immortalized in the book Letters to Milena. But that story remains unfinished … because Milena's responses have never been found. That's where writer Christine Estima steps in. In her debut novel, Letters to Kafka, Christine tells Milena's story and gives voice to a woman often overshadowed in history. Liked this conversation?
