To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription:  We are in what today's guest calls a dark night of our national soul. Many of us are feeling hopeless, uncomfortable and stuck, but it is possible to make it through the darkness. Generations before us survived the unthinkable; if the past has a story to tell, what's today's? This notion of coming into ourselves and embracing our stories is what Joy Harjo, the internationally renowned poet, performer, writer and activist of the Muscogee Creek Nation takes up in her long-spanning career. Harjo is just out with “Girl Warrior: On Coming of Age”, a guide, dedicated especially to Indigenous girls, for people trying to find their way in a time of transformation. She is the author of two American Book Awards winners: “In Mad Love and War” and “Crazy Brave”, and was executive editor of the groundbreaking “When the Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through: A Norton Anthology of Native Nations Poetry”. She was the first Indigenous Poet Lau­re­ate and served three terms from 2019 to 2022. Join Harjo and Flanders for this illuminating conversation on finding courage this winter, plus a commentary from Laura on releasing the files on Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women and Girls. “We have to stand for what's right. You can't stand and watch a neighbor starving. We have to realize that ultimately we were created by a creator who loves diversity . . . The universal law is diversity. Universal law is love and connection. We're all connected.”  - Joy Harjo“The bone and the muscle of being human is stories. That's what we do. I remember years ago, thinking about what use are human beings to the ecosystem. I really couldn't find a reason that we were here, except that we make stories. It's important we express gratitude and that we're helpful to the other beings who live here.” - Joy HarjoGuest: Joy Harjo (Mvskoke): Poet, Performer & Writer; Author, Girl Warrior: On Coming of AgeFull Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation.

Patricia Forde, Laureate na nÓg, Irleland's Children's Literature Laureate, discusses the launch of The Children's Booker Prize for the best fiction written for young people between the ages of eight and twelve.

Mëtt November sinn déi Walfer Bicherdeeg. Den Optakt mécht dann traditionnel d'Verkënnegung vun de Laureate vum Lëtzebuerger Buchpräis, deen d'Bicherediteuren all Joer verginn. Elo ass déi enk Auswiel an den dräi Kategorien eraus. D'Valerija Berdi mécht de Point.

主播：Sofia（中国）+ Maelle（法国） 音乐：Thinking About You01. A Farewell to a Physics Legend 一位物理巨匠的谢幕2025年10月18日，BBC（英国广播公司）报道了物理学家杨振宁逝世的消息：Chinese Nobel laureate and physicist Chen Ning Yang dies aged 103中国诺贝尔奖得主、物理学家杨振宁去世，享年103岁Laureate /ˈlɔ:riət/ n. 荣誉获得者，获奖者Physicist /ˈfɪzɪsɪst/ n. 物理学家That report marks the passing of a true titan (巨匠). 在物理学界，杨振宁教授是一个iconic figure。Iconic /aɪˈkɑ:nɪk/ adj. 标志性的、象征性的It means someone or something that is very famous and admired (令人钦佩的), representing a particular idea or era (时代). 他被广泛认为是可以和爱因斯坦和牛顿比肩的物理学家。“比肩”这个词可以有两种表达方式：1) In the same breath：两件事情一起说，一起做；在这里意思是“可以与……比肩”。Eg. He was often mentioned in the same breath as Newton and Einstein (牛顿和爱因斯坦). 2) The same caliber as...：与……齐名Eg. He is widely regarded as a physicist of the same caliber as Einstein and Newton.02. The Making of A Child Prodigy 天才少年的诞生让我们一起来了解一下，这位伟大科学家不平凡的一生里有哪些传奇色彩？我们都知道，杨振宁教授是一位杰出的物理学家（a distinguished physicist）。He demonstrated (展示) extraordinary talent (非凡的天赋) from a very young age.Distinguished /dɪˈstɪŋɡwɪʃt/ adj. 卓越的，杰出的它比excellent更正式庄重一些。��What kind of extraordinary signs did he demonstrate as a child?有一个流传很广的故事：杨振宁先生大概四岁的时候，他母亲开始教他认字，在短短一年多的时间里，他竟然就认识了三千多个汉字（three thousand Chinese characters）！更神奇的是他数学方面的天赋。他父亲的一位朋友，听说他是神童，就故意出了一道数学题想考考他。He solved it in what seemed like no time (一眨眼的功夫). 在场的大人们都惊呆了。It sounds like he was a true “child prodigy (天赋异禀的神童)”. Prodigy /ˈprɑdədʒi/ n. 天才“Child prodigy”就是指神童。后来在16岁——大多数孩子还在读高中的年纪，他直接考入了顶尖的National Southwestern Associated University（西南联合大学）。这也为他成为一代科学巨匠，埋下了最初的种子。中国当时正深处抗战和内战的动荡之中。It has been a time of great uncertainty (充满不确定性) during that period in China. 这对于一位有志于攀登科学巅峰的年轻人来说，前方的道路也充满了不确定性（uncertainty）。03. Journey Across the Ocean 赴美求学的黄金时代Where could a young scholar (年轻学者) find the environment to pursue pure science (追寻纯粹的科学研究)? 其实答案就在大洋彼岸——America。二战后的美国，不仅远离战火，而且政府和大学更是投入了空前的资源用于基础科学研究。那里汇聚了全球顶尖的头脑，拥有当时最先进的实验室和理论平台。That's why he went to the United States for his studies. For a talent like Chen Ning Yang, it was a golden opportunity (黄金机会) to pursue his scientific dreams.于是，就像当时许多有抱负的中国学者一样，杨振宁把握住了机会，踏上了赴美留学的旅程。He entered the top University of Chicago (芝加哥大学) to realize his scientific dream.Enrico Fermi (费米), the Nobel laureate (诺贝尔奖得主) who created the first nuclear reactor (核反应堆)，正是杨振宁在芝加哥的博士导师。他也被业界称为“原子弹之父”。而这也体现了美国当时无与伦比的（unparalleled）科研环境。It was like stepping into a whole new world of scientific possibilities. ��How did Chen Ning Yang's career progress (事业发展) in the United States?杨振宁的事业发展可以说是非常顺利。在费米以及后来另一位关键导师Edward Teller（泰勒）的亲自指导下，杨振宁打下了坚实的基础。Yang's move to the United States for education was clearly the correct path.而这也最终成功地吸引了另一位原子弹之父——奥本海默（Oppenheimer）的注意，并引领他进入了普林斯顿（Princeton）这座学术圣殿的大门。Oppenheimer (奥本海默) was so impressed by Yang's talent that he personally invited him to join Princeton (普林斯顿大学) in 1949. 对于任何物理学家来说，这都是一个“dreamy position（梦寐以求的职位）”。04. From Einstein to Eternity 与爱因斯坦的“跨时代对话”说到他在普林斯顿的时光，这里还有一个科学史上广为流传的佳话（a remarkable story）。当时年轻的杨振宁，竟然与科学巨匠爱因斯坦（Albert Einstein）有过直接的学术交流！It must have been such a “surreal” moment (难以置信的时刻) for a young physicist.Surreal /səˈriəl/ adj. 超现实的，难以置信的这个词用来形容当时杨振宁见到爱因斯坦的场景再合适不过了。他们的见面不是一次简单的问好（a quick hello），而是一次实质性的学术讨论。当时杨振宁和他的合作者正在研究“统计力学”，爱因斯坦对此很感兴趣，所以邀请他们到他的办公室深入交谈。What a historic dialogue (跨越时代的对话)! But even geniuses get nervous! 杨振宁后来坦诚地说，他当时非常紧张，而且爱因斯坦的德语口音很重，他其实没能完全听懂所有的讨论。彼时，年轻的杨振宁正站在那位定义了现代物理学（defined modern physics）的巨人的肩膀上（on the shoulders of the very giant），与之对话（engaged in a dialogue）。It's like a “passing of the torch (火炬的传递)”.这次对话更象征着理论物理学伟大思想的传承。而这位曾经与爱因斯坦对话的年轻人，最终也成为了书写历史的人（a figure who shaped history）。杨振宁的个人生活也伴随着他的学术生涯蒸蒸日上（academic growth）而开花结果（blossom）。他在普林斯顿与杜致礼女士重逢并步入婚姻。这位国民党著名将领杜聿明的长女，成为了他此后长达53年的人生伴侣。05. Revolutionary Contributions to Physics 颠覆物理界的科学贡献Chen Ning Yang was a theoretical physicist (理论物理学家). Why is he considered so great? Theoretical /ˌθiəˈretɪk(ə)l/ adj. 理论上的杨振宁在科学领域的伟大贡献之一就是“宇称不守恒定律”（Parity Nonconservation）。这个发现有多么颠覆呢？它直接引发了物理学界最根本的思维方式的改变，而这一理论也让他与李政道一起获得了诺贝尔奖（the Nobel Prize）。物理学界（physics community）普遍认为，杨振宁还有一个更伟大的贡献（greater contribution），叫做“杨-米尔斯理论”（Yang-Mills theory）。这也被认为是杨老最杰出的代表作。这也就是为什么国际物理学界有一个广泛的社会共识：那就是杨振宁是继牛顿和爱因斯坦之后（alongside Newton and Einstein），最伟大的物理学家之一。06. Rooting and Rebooting 归根与重启His personal journey later in life also captured the world's attention (吸引了全世界的注意). He chose to return to China in his old age. 他全职回到清华大学担任教授，这样一个决定也体现了我们中文里说的“落叶归根（leaf returning to the root）”。But it was more like rooting and rebooting (归根与重启). 他把他一生的智慧、经验和国际资源，都带回了祖国，为中国的科学事业“站台”和“引航”。所以杨老的回国绝非一次象征性的叶落归根（symbolic homecoming）。It was an active, purposeful decision to contribute (饱含深意的、为了奉献的主动抉择). 在某种意义上，他这是在solving his final equation（解答他人生中最后的方程式）——一道关乎祖国未来的方程式。BBC的公告宣告了一个时代的帷幕缓缓落下。但对华夏而言，他所留下的伟大传承，正悄然开启新的篇章。The BBC announcement marked the end of an era. But for China, his legacy is just the beginning. 杨振宁先生给我们留下了科学的瑰宝，更留下了关于家与国、个人与时代的最深沉的思考。

Poesin är det som försvinner vid översättning, sägs det. Men översätter vi inte alla hela tiden? Jonas Rasmussen söker efter ett gemensamt modersmål. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Från radion i köket kommer dagligen nyheter om konflikter världen över. Och mitt i allt det här tänker jag på något så banalt som träd.När jag hör eller läser ordet ”träd” tänker jag på björken vid vägen utanför mitt barndomshem – hur vi klättrade i den; hur den svartvita barken kändes mot fingrarna; hur det svajade när man var 15 meter upp och kunde se vårt hustak uppifrån. En skogsbrukare gör sig säkert helt andra bilder i huvudet: för hen är ett träd kanske lika mycket en kapad stam redo att förädlas till virke. Och en arborist får säkert helt andra associationer.Jag arbetar som översättare och det brukar sägas att översättning handlar om att överbrygga språkliga, kulturella och nationella gränser, och det är förstås sant. Men kanske är översättning både någonting mycket mer personligt och komplext än så, och samtidigt något omedvetet som alla på jorden går runt och ägnar oss åt hela tiden. Och själva strävan efter att söka kunskap och försöka förstå andra än den egna gruppen verkar ligga inbäddat i människans DNA.Den danska poeten Inger Christensen lär ha sagt att översättning av en dikt är som att göra ett färgfoto till svart-vitt, och den amerikanske poeten Robert Frost har uttryckt det som att ”poesin är det som försvinner vid översättning”.Men även inom ett och samma språk finns en bedräglig mångtydighet och väldiga begränsningar i vad man faktiskt kan uttrycka. Ett av de allra första orden man lär sig som barn brukar vara ”lampa”. Men liksom med ordet ”träd” är jag ganska säker på att någon nu ser en kökslampa framför sig, någon annan läslampan vid sängkanten. Så vad är egentligen en ”lampa”, och förstår vi ens varandra, även om vi talar samma språk och använder så basala ord som ”lampa” och ”träd”?På ett seminarium på Köpenhamns universitet 2017 höll översättaren, skådespelaren och regissören Peter Eszterhás ett föredrag där han satte fingret på någonting som jag länge hade anat, men inte själv hade lyckats formulera. Vid flera tillfällen återkom han till meningen ”modersmålet heter översättning”. Ja, utsagan kräver lite eftertanke. Eszterhás föddes i Ungern och kom redan som barn till Danmark, men det här har inte med hans eget modersmål att göra, utan ska, som jag tolkar honom, förstås mer universellt. Som att modersmålet är ett språk som hela jordens alla nationaliteter använder, och det språket är en praktik som han alltså kallar översättning.Vi människor står inte ut med att något saknar mening. Visst har också du stått och sett ett moln på himlen bilda en kamel, ett ansikte eller något helt annat, fullt medveten om att det bara är slumpens och vindarnas lek med vattenånga, och dina egna fantasier, som skapar bilden. Det samma gäller när vi betraktar abstrakt konst. Om vi presenteras för en målning med ljusa prickar på en mörk bakgrund ser någon en stjärnhimmel, någon annan en blomsteräng på natten. Vi nöjer oss inte med att det är prickar på en mörk bakgrund, utan helt instinktivt omvandlar vi det tillsynes obegripliga till något begripligt genom att relatera det till våra egna, subjektiva erfarenheter.Och när vi ser en slumpmässigt genererad teckensallad av bokstäver, eller läser en dikt där nästan vartenda ord hade kunnat bytas ut mot något annat, då kan vi inte låta bli att ändå försöka uttolka ett meddelande, en mening, i texten – något som hakar in i våra egna liv och minnen.För att göra vår omvärld begriplig för oss själva använder vi våra sinnen. Det är tillexempel ren överlevnadsinstinkt att kunna bedöma en bils riktning och hastighet för att inte kliva ut i gatan vid fel ögonblick. Vi avläser också ständigt våra medmänniskors ansiktsuttryck och kroppsspråk. Och som de sociala varelser vi är så har det verbala språket här en särställning. När en vän ringer till dig och säger: ”Jag har det inte så bra just nu”, då betyder det förmodligen att hen skulle behöva prata med dig. Kanske är det tillochmed ett sätt att fråga om du har tid att ses snart för ett allvarligt snack, även om det inte är det som faktiskt uttalas. Vare sig vi vill eller ej måste vi alltså dagligen tolka en otrolig mängd intryck för att göra vår omvärld begriplig och meningsfull.Och om vi vänder 180 grader på perspektivet så måste vi själva också tolka vårt inre för att göra oss förstådda och för att själva kunna fungera i omvärlden. Det är livsavgörande att kunna förstå och reagera på signaler som tillexempel att kroppen fryser eller är hungrig. Och för att överhuvudtaget kunna interagera med våra medmänniskor måste vi ge uttryck för våra egna affekter, känslor, tankar och idéer. Och de här inre, subjektiva faktorerna är inte ursprungligen formulerade på ett begripligt språk, inte ens för oss själva. Vi måste därför översätta våra egna tankar och känslor till ett språk som är någorlunda begripligt för vänner, bekanta och dem vi älskar.När Tomas Tranströmer mottog Neustadt-priset 1990 sade han i sitt tacktal bland annat följande: ”En dikt är en representation av en annan, osynlig dikt, skriven på ett språk bortom det vanliga språket. Därmed är även originaldikten en översättning.” Här finns alltså en tydlig parallell till Eszterhás tanke om ”modersmålet”. Som jag förstår Tranströmer menar han att de känslor, idéer och tankar vi har inom oss finns i oss på ett allmänmänskligt språk – bortom geografiska, kulturella och nationella gränser. Och dessa tankar och idéerna översätts av poeten till ett språk som kan läsas av andra.Och det är på den arenan konsterna verkar. Hade det varit möjligt att, i en fullt begriplig och empiriskt verifierbar facktext, uttrycka tillexempel ångest; hur det känns att vara förälskad; eller bara upplevelsen av att klättra i en hög björk, då hade mänskligheten förmodligen aldrig utvecklat skönlitteraturen och poesin, eller de övriga konstformerna. Men unikt för just skönlitteraturen, och framförallt poesin, är att den använder just språket för att uttrycka sådant som inte kan uttryckas med språket.Jag tänker igen på ordet ”träd”, och på att arboristen förmodligen ser en levande organism framför sig, där det osynliga rotsystemet är lika betydelsefullt som stammen och kronan. Jag tänker på det som finns under, bortom språket och som behöver språket för att bli synligt och få människor att förstå varandra över tid och rum. Och det ger mig hopp, hopp om att någonting djupt inuti mig också resonerar i någonting djupt inuti alla andra, oavsett religiös, kulturell eller nationell tillhörighet. Om språket missbrukas kan det förstås också användas för att söndra och splittra och ställa folkgrupper mot varandra. Och delvis är det nog resultaten av det jag fortfarande hör när radion i köket rapporterar om alla konflikthärdar. Men språket som sådant, och översättningen av språk, kan också användas till att få oss att förstå och känna samhörighet med andra kulturer och individer, och dessutom, i förlängningen, ge oss en klarare blick på vår egen kultur och oss själva. För bortom det där vanliga språket som vi kommunicerar med, och som ni, just nu, hör mig tala, så delar vi ett gemensamt språk; ett modersmål som heter översättning.Jonas Rasmussenöversättare och författare Källor:Peter Eszterhás.

Compassion & Empathy versus Heartless Fascism;  Our Resident Doctors Weigh in on Trump's Health…& the Public's We begin GREEP Zoom #237 with the latest heart-felt poem from our Laureate, MIMI GERMAN. With a clarion call for action activist/professor CHUCK PENACCIO warns us that “fascism is here” & demands our mass movement for democracy & peace. Radio broadcaster LYNNE FEINERMAN mourns the murder of Yitzhak Rabin & the rise of fascism in Israel. Co-Convenor MIKE HERSH updates us on the history of the West's mixed relationship with fascism, including the rise of Spain's dictator Franco. Diving deep into the horrors of “Christian Fascism” is ANDRA WATKINS, who grew up in an extreme right-wing anti-empathy home. From ALEX WILLIAMS we get a warning that the concept of “God” continues to be used to unite angry people around very “UnChristian” fascism. The State unifying with Religion is illustrated by DONALD SMITH is portrayed through the grim visage of Stephen Miller, a “fascist Jew.” Jesus was a man of empathy, says CARRIE LARSON, meaning the “Christian Nationalist” movement has little to do with Christ.

We discuss the severe underfunding of DC's affordable housing programs and the need for a new approach.

Liberalism is in trouble. As a set of ideas, it has lost much of its historical authority in guiding public policy and personal behaviour. In this post-liberal climate, Russell Blackford asks whether liberalism is truly over. How We Became Post-Liberal: The Rise and Fall of Toleration (Bloomsbury, 2023) examines how Western liberal democracies became nations where traditional liberal principles of toleration (religious and otherwise), individual liberty and freedom of speech are frequently dismissed as outdated or twisted to support conservative policies. Blackford traces the lineage of liberalism from problems of toleration that emerged when Christianity triumphed in the late centuries of classical antiquity, with comparison to non-Western civilizations. The political and philosophical story culminates in the recent development – over the past 30 to 50 years – of post-liberal ideologies in the West. At each stage, Blackford discusses arguments for and against liberal principles, identifying why no argument to date has been totally successful in convincing opponents, while maintaining that liberalism's ideas and language are still worth saving. From campus wars over academic freedom to the Charlie Hebdo attack and the murder of Samuel Paty, this is an indispensable guide for anyone wanting to understand the why, what and how of the post-liberal world. Russell Blackford is a philosopher, legal scholar, literary critic based at the University of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. He is the author of Freedom of Religion and the Secular State (2012), Humanity Enhanced (2014), The Mystery of Moral Authority (2016), and Science Fiction and the Moral Imagination (2017). In 2014, he was inducted as a Laureate of the International Academy of Humanism. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.
