Carlo Ferrari"La renna di Ercole"Filologia e antropologia nell'opera di Karl MeuliPrefazione di Jan BremmerOfficina Librariawww.officinalibraria.netFilologo di prim'ordine e originalissimo storico delle religioni, Karl Meuli (1891-1968) non ha raccolto finora i riconoscimenti che merita, tanto nel mondo accademico che presso il grande pubblico. Eppure, pochi studiosi hanno rivoluzionato gli studi classici come lui. Nel suo capolavoro, Scythica (1935), Meuli riconobbe per primo nel testo di Erodoto gli indizi di uno sciamanesimo greco – tesi che, ripresa da Dodds ed Eliade, continua ad animare un acceso dibattito. In Usanze sacrificali greche (1946) avanzò l'ipotesi non meno dirompente che il sacrificio animale descritto da Omero avesse avuto origine nei rituali paleolitici della caccia. Intuizioni che trovano oggi conferme via via sempre più solide nelle scoperte archeologiche. Questo libro – la prima monografia dedicata a questo studioso – indaga la genesi e gli esiti più innovativi di un metodo di lavoro inimitabile, di cui i vertiginosi confronti tra miti, usanze e cerimonie attraverso lo spazio eurasiatico costituiscono l'aspetto più avvincente. Dalla Siberia all'Attica, dal Mediterraneo alla Mongolia, nelle ricerche di Karl Meuli emerge la fitta trama di connessioni storiche che lega la civiltà greca ai popoli nomadi delle steppe. Arricchisce il volume una prefazione di Jan Bremmer.Carlo Ferrari(Parma, 1990) è stato allievo della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa e borsista dell'Istituto Italiano per gli Studi Storici di Napoli. È autore di Santi e sciamani. Una lettura storico-religiosa della Gallia tardoromana (Mimesis, 2022), rielaborazione della tesi di dottorato discussa all'Università di Firenze, e di vari contributi sulla storia religiosa del mondo antico. È tra i curatori del volume Languages of Science between Western and Eastern Civilizations (De Gruyter, 2024).

First: Reform is naff – and that's why people like itGareth Roberts warns this week that ‘the Overton window is shifting' but in a very unexpected way. Nigel Farage is ahead in the polls – not only because his party is ‘bracingly right-wing', but ‘because Reform is camp'. Farage offers what Britain wants: ‘a cheeky, up-yours, never-mind-the-knockers revolt against our agonisingly earnest political masters'.‘From Farage on down,' Roberts argues, ‘there is a glorious kind of naffness' to Reform: daytime-TV aesthetics, ‘bargain-basement' celebrities and big-breasted local councillors. ‘The progressive activists thought they could win the culture war simply by saying they had won it', but ‘the John Bulls and Greasy Joans are stirring again'. Roberts loves how ‘the current excitement over flag-raising' is the ‘conniptions' it gives to ‘the FBPE crowd'. Of course, for Farage, planning for government ‘really cannot be a pantomime affair'. But ‘in these grim times' we ‘need the romping Reform'. Gareth joins the podcast to make his case for Carry On Reform.Next: the ‘she' consumed by masculine rageLionel Shriver reacts to the latest school shooting in America. The perpetrator was widely reported in the media with the pronouns ‘she/her' which, Lionel argues, is not just an issue around politeness. This glosses over the fact that the shooter was biologically male, adding to the majority of cases of school shootings that are conducting by men. By pandering to this incoherence of the reality of the situation, it doesn't help society to uncover the reasons behind the issue.Lionel joined the podcast alongside the Spectator's US editor Freddy Gray. Freddy points out how this shooting is just one example of how younger people can be transfixed by the very darkest sides of the internet.And finally: why people make up languages Constructed language expert Dr Bettina Beinhoff and author and historian Peter Parker join the podcast to talk about ‘made-up' languages. Why do humans construct languages outside of their every-day speech? Most people will have heard of Klingon or Elvish, used in books and film, but what about Polari – the subversive language used by groups of LGBT people decades ago – or the Potato language – which writer Melanie Ferbreach says her parents used to hide their conversations from her. Listeners may be impressed to hear Lara's own attempt at 'eggy-peggy'...Plus: with a special introduction from our political editor, Tim Shipman interviews shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick – is he trying to outflank Farage? Hosted by William Moore and Lara Prendergast.Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Natasha Feroze.

In May of 2025, I was honoured to be asked by the British Academy to chair the final panel in their 'Folklore Reimagined' series, 'Lore of the Land'. This panel was titled 'Stories of wetlands, woods and weather'.How have landscapes been represented and perceived throughout time? What do the stories we tell about our environments reveal about ourselves? And how can our historical relationship with the land help us reconsider our connection to the natural world today? The panelists for this discussion were Professor Melanie Giles FBA, British archaeologist specialising in Iron Age Britain; Fiona Stafford FBA, Professor of English Language and Literature at the University of Oxford; and Marilina Cesario, Professor in the School of Arts, English and Languages at Queen's University Belfast.You can watch the original filmed panel on the British Academy's YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej60YO1_qrIThe Folklore Podcast has been committed to producing high quality free folklore content for almost a decade, bringing you access to the world's experts in the subject.

Warning: This conversation covers the issue of suicide. Yesterday we spoke to Laura Reiley, a writer at Cornell University whose only child died by suicide after suffering from anxiety and depression. Laura shared her daughter Sophie's story in an essay for The New York Times because while she had been seeing a human therapist, Sophie had also turned to a therapy chatbot for help between sessions and it was the chatbot that she confided in when she chose to end her life.

In this episode we are opening a conversation with Dr Millicent Weber about her research into how people engage with books and literary culture: everything from prizes and book reviews, to audience experience at literary festivals, to social media trolling of authors, to amateur production of audiobooks, podcasts, and fan-fiction. This ongoing project is one of the first large-scale academic studies of audiobook publishing and reading.Dr Millicent Weber is an Australian Research Council DECRA Fellow for early career researchers. It's providing focused support for her investigation of Audiobooks and Digital Book Culture. She is also a Senior Lecturer in English in the School of Literature, Languages and Linguistics at the ANU.

New research has found fewer students are studying languages now than in the 1930s - and educators are calling for a solution. The report, Language Learning for New Zealand's Future, says second language learning should be a core requirement for students from years seven to ten. President of the New Zealand Association of Language Teachers, Juliet Kennedy, says it's important for Kiwi students to learn another language. "It's also really important that students have a chance to learn other languages, including heritage languages which are spoken in our community - but also world stage languages such as Chinese or French or Spanish or German or Japanese."

In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we meet Ebaide Joy Udoh, a bold Nigerian adventurer and storyteller on a mission to make history. Ebaide is currently undertaking a solo motorcycle journey across Africa, aiming to break the Guinness World Record for the Longest Journey by Motorcycle in Africa (Female). The current record to beat is 30,000 kilometers (19,000 miles)—and by the time she completes the final leg of her trip, Ebaide expects to reach an incredible 35,000 km (22,000 miles). But Ebaide's story isn't just about distance—it's about determination, vision, and fearlessly carving a new path. From learning how to ride a motorcycle from scratch, to building a DIY camper van, to navigating complex visa issues with a Nigerian passport, her journey is anything but ordinary. In this episode, Ebaide shares the realities of solo travel across Africa—the beauty, the bureaucracy, the culture, and the challenges—and what fuels her unstoppable spirit. We dive into her creative approach to funding her travels, her charity work empowering girls in Nigeria, and her passion for storytelling through content creation. Get ready to be inspired by this fiercely independent woman who reminds us all: “You own your life. Don't let fear cripple you—go for it.”  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!
