A recomendação desta semana é são as aclamadas memórias de Lea Ypi: "Livre: Como me tornei adulta no fim da História". É uma história coming of age passada na transição entre dois regimes na Albânia. Uma reflexão muito interessante sobre o significado de liberdade. Como é óbvio, recomendamos. Senão não tínhamos feito este episódio. Mas quem somos nós? Apenas dois palhaços a falar para microfones.

Deniz Yüce Başarır, edebiyatımızın son dönem en sevilen yazarlarından biri olan Melisa Kesmez ile birlikte Arnavutluk'a uzanıyor bu kez de. Siyaset teorisyeni, akademisyen Lea Ypi'nin komünist rejim hüküm sürerken doğduğu ülkesi Arnavutluk'un, çok partili sisteme geçerken ve sonrasında yaşadığı çalkantıları “özgürlük” kavramını merkeze alarak anlattığı Özgür, Her Şey Parçalanırken Büyümek, roman gibi de okunabilecek çok zihin açıcı bir anı kitabı. Kesmez ile Başarır, kitapta anlatılanların ışığında ülkemizdeki çalkantıların çocuklar üzerindeki etkisini de tartışıyorlar. Bu edebi, insani, siyasi sohbeti kaçırmayın deriz. Elbette, metinden çarpıcı bölümler de yine seslendiriliyor.

In her Benjamin Lectures "What is moral socialism?" the political theorist Lea Ypi is rethinking socialism by bringing together both Kantian thought on freedom and Marxian social critique. Lea joins Dissens to talk about the trauma of stalinism, that she experienced growing up in Albania, and what going beyond capitalism should look like. Socialism today, argues Ypi, has to be a radicalization of liberalism and not its elimination.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.liveChristine and Damir kick things off by discussing a memoir about the fall of Communism in Albania. Damir reflects on his own post-Communist background, and ponders why Communist nostalgia affects only some countries, while others are not looking back. He wonders whether Christine is becoming a Communist herself after reading her essay about “Limitarianism,” a school of political thought that favors a cap on extreme wealth. Christine unpacks her own ideas about economic justice and democracy, and considers whether the Communist past in Europe should influence American political ideas for the future. For paid subscribers, the bonus part of the episode focuses on whether the United States or Europe has the better economic system, and whether European dreams of a “green” economy can survive competition with China.Required Reading:* Free: Coming of Age at the End of History by Lea Ypi.* The full story behind Joyce Carol Oates' infamous tweet.* Damir's Monday Note about Lea Ypi's book.* Limitarianism by Ingrid Robeyns* “What Would Society Look Like if Extreme Wealth Were Impossible?” by Christine Emba (The Atlantic)* “The Price of Peace is Stagnation” by Janan Ganesh (The Financial Times)

Javier del Pino y Judit Carrera, directora del CCCB, conversan con la filósofa y escritora albanesa sobre su libro autobiógrafico "Libre", un retrato de Albania, el último bastión del estalinismo en Europa.  

The Palace of Dreams is a novel from 1981 that is ostensibly set in the 19th century Ottoman empire, but the Albanian writer Ismail Kadare cleverly smuggles in thinly veiled criticism of the totalitarian state presided over by Enver Hoxha. The book was duly banned shortly after publication. Matthew Sweet looks at this and other examples of fiction that satirise bureaucratic overreach from Dickens to Kafka to Georgi Gospodinov, the Bulgarian novelist who won the 2023 International Booker prize for his novel Time Shelter. Sharing their thoughts on these books and on the history and role of bureaucracy within both democratic and totalitarian states are Lea Ypi, Mirela Ivanova and Roger Luckhurst.Producer: Torquil MacLeodLea Ypi is a Professor at the London School of Economics and the author of Free: Coming of Age at the End of History. You can hear her discussing the culture of Albania in a previous Free Thinking episode Professor Roger Luckhurst's books include Gothic: an illustrated history; Corridors - passages of modernity; Science Fiction: a Literary History Mirela Ivanova teaches at the University of Sheffield. You can hear her in a Free Thinking discussion of Slavic Myths

This week David and Lea answer your questions about democracy. When does democratic freedom shade over into anarchy? What's the connection between democracy and human rights? Do the voters choose the government or does the government choose the voters? Plus: what makes Lea an optimist about socialism? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the latest instalment of David's ongoing conversation with Lea Ypi about the past, present and future of democracy they discuss whether democratic politics can ever break free from the stranglehold of the nation-state. When and why did nationalism take such a strong grip of the idea of democracy? What are the international or cosmopolitan alternatives? And can a democracy police its borders without having actual borders or actual police?Listen to the previous episodes in this series here. Hosted on Acast.

What does it mean to be free? The world renowned philosopher Lea Ypi grew up in communist Albania and draws from her personal experience to investigate the complicated relation between freedom and democracy. She is the author of the prizewinning book Free: Coming of Age at the End of History. Listen and learn from Lea Ypi that true freedom, is not just about the absence of oppression but also about the presence of structures that enable equality and universal human flourishing.

Die ganze Folge findet ihr bei Patreon und Steady. Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/oleundwolfgang Steady: https://steadyhq.com/de/oleundwolfgang/about Ein außergewöhnlicher Welt-Bestseller: Lea Ypi ist Professorin an der London School of Economics für politische Philosophie, ihre Schwerpunkte liegen bei Immanuel Kant und dem Marxismus. 2021 hat sie mit „Frei“ ein philosophisches Buch vorgelegt, das jedoch keinen wissenschaftlichen, sondern einen literarischen Anspruch hat: Ypi versetzt sich in ihr junges Ich, dieses wuchs im diktatorischen Realsozialismus Albaniens auf, lange Zeit kam dem Kind aber alles völlig normal vor. Es schien die bester aller Welten zu sein. 1990 aber tritt der Ende der Geschichte ein – und das politische wie familiäre Kartenhaus stürzt ein. Von nun an winkt die Freiheit des Westens, bei der es sich aber auch um ein leeres Versprechen handelt, wie die Albaner bald erfahren müssen. In der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“ diskutieren Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt über Lea Ypis Autofiktion und über Freiheit im Sozialismus und Kommunismus. Literatur: Lea Ypi: Frei. Erwachsenwerden am Ende der Geschichte. Übersetzt von Eva Bonné, Suhrkamp.

This week David and Lea resume their conversation – and their differences of opinion – about how to understand politics in the modern world. What is it reasonable to expect of democracy? Are its failures because of bad design or bad faith? And why don't we have more democracy at the international level where it's really needed? This is the start of a series of monthly conversations between David and Lea about rethinking the ideas that made the modern world. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week Lea Ypi joins David to talk about some of the ideas in his new book, The Handover: How We Gave Control of Our Lives to Corporations, States and AIs. They discuss how to think about the power of the state in the modern world: Can it be changed? Can it be controlled? Can it be anything other than capitalist? Plus, how will AI alter the relationship between human beings and the corporate machines that rule our world?To order the Handover and support independent bookshops, please use the code HANDOVER at checkout here.

This week Daniel Chandler and Lea Ypi join David to talk about the legacy of the great American political philosopher John Rawls and his theory of justice. Did Rawls provide a prescription for the only fair way of doing capitalism? Or did he really show why capitalism and justice will never be reconciled? What can Rawls teach us about how to treat each other as equals? And does it even make sense to talk about justice in Britain or America when the world as a whole remains so fundamentally unequal?Daniel Chandler's new book is Free and Equal: What Would a Fair Society Look Like?

On Martin Hägglund's This Life. We continue on the theme of freedom by discussing Martin Hägglund's case for 'democratic socialism'. In this episode, we leave the book itself to one side and attempt to "put the concepts to work".  We survey the many intelligent responses the book has generated and discuss what their strengths and weaknesses are.   Is 'secular faith' just a therapeutic ethos to do with caring about your loved ones? What guarantees that we will use our free time appropriately? Why would we work freely for others? How does Hägglund's vision work on a global scale? What kind of post-capitalist “state” does Hagglund actually propose? Does Hägglund evade class struggle? Does he have any vision of agency?

This week David talks to Katja Hoyer and Lea Ypi about life under communism. East Germany was the most successful of the communist states of Eastern Europe, measured by economic prosperity and sporting success. Did the GDR ever really offer a model of how Soviet-style communism could give people what they wanted, including social mobility and consumerism? Why did it fall apart in the end? And how did the GDR experiment look from inside Albania, where Lea grew up? A conversation about freedom, dissent, paranoia and blue jeans.Katja Hoyer's latest book is Beyond the Wall: East Germany 1949-1990.Lea Ypi's prize-winning Free: Coming of Age at the End of History is available in paperback now.To hear more about Rosa Luxemburg, this is from Season 2 of History of Ideas.Sign up to LRB Close Readings:Directly in Apple: https://apple.co/3pJoFPqIn other podcast apps: lrb.supportingcast.fm Hosted on Acast.

We're joined by friend and journalist Phil Chaffee to discuss FREE by Lea Ypi, a memoir of her Albanian childhood and of life amid the collapse of Communism. The book won the Royal Society of Literature's Ondaatje prize and was shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford non-fiction prize and was on many a best-book of 2022 list. Both our book clubs read this one, but what did they make of it? We'll be reporting back. We're also discussing THE SNOW BALL by Brigid Brophy, a swirling, sensual feast that takes place over one night at a New Year's Eve masquerade ball. The novel was published in 1964 and was something of a scandalous sensation at the time. It has recently been re-released to much acclaim, but what did Kate's book club think of it? We'll also have some trusty follow-on recommendations to help you find your next great read.

For the third in our 12 Books of Christmas episodes, we revisit a thought-provoking discussion with Dipo Faloyin, whose book Africa Is Not A Country challenges the stereotypical thinking that can misrepresent African nations. Another highlight book of 2022 was Lea Ypi's Free, and the writer joined us to discuss her memoir that tells the story of her upbringing in Albania amid the shifting geopolitics of nations affected by the break up of the Soviet Union. We also listen back to our conversation with food writer Melissa Thompson, whose book Motherland celebrates the traditions and influence of Jamaican cuisine.  ...
