My guest for this episode of Fawaz Gerges of the London School of Economics where he is the Emirates Professorship in Contemporary Middle East Studies. Fawaz earned his doctorate at Oxford and has taught there, as well as at Harvard and Columbia. He has been a research scholar at Princeton and is the author of 10 books on the Middle East and his articles and editorials have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The Christian Science Monitor, The Guardian, The Baltimore Sun, The Independent (London), Al Hayat (London), Foreign Policy, Newsweek, The National Interest, Democracy: a Journal of Ideas, Middle East Journal, Survival, Al Mustqbal al-Arabi, Middle East Insight, and many others.Gerges has given scores of interviews for various media outlets throughout the world, including ABC, CNN, BBC, PBS, CBS, NPR, CBC, Sky News, Al Jazeera, and LBC. He has been a guest on The Charlie Rose Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, ABC Nightline, World News Tonight, Rachel Maddow Show (MSNBC), This Week, Good Morning America and other prominent shows. He was a senior ABC television news analyst from 2000 until 2007.In this episode we first discuss Fawaz's most recent book, What Really Went Wrong: The West and the Failure of Democracy in the Middle East. This is an excellent historical study of the impact of US interventionist foreign policy in the Middle East in the post-WW2 era. It shows how the pursuit of stability, open commodity markets and anti-communism led the US to support and ally with anti-democratic autocrats throughout the region who eliminated legitimate nationalistic (and largely secular and democratic) political leaders. We see the consequences of these interventions in the region today.We then turn to a discussion of the current catastrophe in the Gaza, Israel and Lebanon. Fawaz and I disagree on many issues. For example, he paraphrases towards the end of our conversation a school of thought which has come to see Israel as the last, ‘Settler Colonial' state. I think this way of approaching the situation is an invitation to endless violence and despair. For a history of the evolution of this approach, I recommend On Settler Colonialism: Ideology, Violence and Justice by Adam Kirsch. There are also many things Fawaz says with which I agree. For example, his historical analysis of the monumental failure of US foreign policy seems to be me to be compelling. But my role as the host of this podcast is not to be a judge of other's views. In fact, what I agree with or do not agree with is not relevant. My job is to bring you views which may challenge your own; views which help us to understand the ways in which understandings and beliefs can be fundamentally different. The only way forward is to start with a genuine curiosity of what others think, believe and feel. Just as importantly, curiosity does not imply agreement. Too many times we pretend to attempt to understand something by seeking out others to confirm what we want to, or already believe. It is much better to be challenged by difference. From that starting point, we can, perhaps, begin to be able to predict and influence the future for the better. Fawaz is a thoughtful, careful, prolific and elegant scholar. While I may differ with him in some areas, I have never questioned his fundamental decency and humanity. I always learn and am challenged by our conversations together - which is a great gift. I hope you enjoy our conversation as well!CitationsGerges, F. (2024) What Really Went Wrong: The West and the Failure of Democracy in the Middle East.

Crappy Healthcare is Not Natural: the U.S. Health System is Contingent on a Lot of Bad Decisions

5 Cs of History, Contingency #1 of 4. The U.S. healthcare system is the way it is because of decisions made by people at various points in the last century. America's healthcare issue is the result of a series of interconnected decisions and events and catastrophes. This episode is a part of our 5 c's of history episode and today we are exploring contingency. Contingency is “The idea that every historical outcome depends on a multitude of prior conditions; that each of these prior conditions depends, in turn, upon still other conditions; and so on. The core insight of contingency is that the world is a magnificently interconnected place. Change a single prior condition, and any historical outcome could have turned out differently.” So we're going to do an overview of the American health insurance system and touch on some key points along the way.

For this episode I spoke to Professor Fiona Woollard. Professor Woollard is a Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southampton. She has research interests in normative ethics, applied ethics, epistemically transformative experiences and the philosophy of sex and pregnancy. She has published on topics including the distinction between doing and allowing harm, climate change and the non-identity problem, the moral significance of numbers, pornography and the norm of monogamy.Her recent research has led her to ask a question which turns out to be surprisingly difficult to answer: what is a mother? Not necessarily, in her view, a woman with a child. In this interview she explains why she doesn't think this is the right way of defining a mother, and what she thinks is a better way. To get there, we tried to get to grips with some vexed questions about gender.Professor Woollard's page at Southampton is here.Here's the advert we refer to at the start of the interview.Some of the books and papers Professor Woollard talks about in the interview:Ashley, Florence.

Long before Harpers Ferry, Virginia became the emotional halfway point for Appalachian Trail thru hikers, it was the site of one of the most important events in 19th century American history.  In the fall of 1859, the abolitionist John Brown and 22 of his compatriots attacked the federal arsenal there, hoping to spark an insurrection against slavery in the American South on the eve of the Civil War. On today's episode, historian Jonathan Earle of Louisiana State University explores Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry and the landscape hikers now pass through today.

EditHey ya'll, it's 7 with Hard Times Strong Men. After feedback on, and review of, Episode 2 I need to address a mistake that I made. When describing the vascular system I said that your femoral artery is branched from the inferior vena cava. That is obviously false. The inferior vena cava, while part of the vascular system, is a vein. It transports deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart. Arteries transport oxygenated blood from the heart to the body. So, to clarify and rectify; from the heart, blood travels through the abdominal aorta, branches at the iliac arteries, then to the femoral artery that I referenced, and on even farther. We always try to bring ya'll the best, most accurate information that we can. We strive to remain above reproach, but we can never be above accountability. That being said, we'll need to do a medical class here soon. As with everything, we'll start at zero and build up. Stay safe, and be better.-7Mercadante AA, Raja A. Anatomy, Arteries.

Picking up where we left off in last week's Gospel, Jesus continues his Last Supper discourse, this time turning his attention to love, the law, and friendship with God. Taking the lead of the evangelist himself we explore the idea of belovedness and how receptivity to Divine love is the foundation of the spiritual life. Bringing in the topic of the law as well as the thought of Thomas Aquinas we discover that the practice of abiding in God's love has very little to do with our own efforts and everything to do with God's.Diving deep into our Gospel we'll spend our episode looking closer at:- What, according to St. Thomas Aquinas, we must do in order to keep God's commandments [8:49]- The Greek etymology of the word "friend" and what it can tell us about being friends of God [18:48]- The two Old Testament figures that were said to be friends of God [31:20]- Greco-Roman and Jewish conceptions of friendship that likely inform our Gospel [41:52]- Jewish inheritance law and what it has to say about friendship and servitude [45:04]- Some priestly overtones subtly present in the latter part of Jesus' exhortation to the Twelve [51:35]BIBLIOGRAPHYBrown, Raymond E.

We continue exploring the Gospel of John in our readings for this Sunday. In them Jesus makes his seventh and final "I am" statement, comparing himself to the true vine. Combing through the Old Testament we discover that vine imagery is often associated with Israel, but an Israel that is unfaithful and disobedient. It is Christ then, the faithful son, and we his disciples who are to embody a new Israel, radically faithful to the Father. How do we achieve this faithfulness? Our Gospel reveals the secret.Diving deep into our Gospel we'll spend our episode looking closer at:- The seven "I am" statements in John, the last of which forms our Gospel- The image of the vine in the Old Testament and how it helps us interpret Our Lord's analogy- How our Gospel both demands and promises radical faithfulness- The ancient heresy that our Gospel was employed to refute- What it means to abide in Christ and a tangible way to practice that abidingBIBLIOGRAPHYBrown, Raymond E.

Basking in Easter glory, the Church confirms for us the tenderness and compassion of God's heart with our Gospel reading from the Good Shepherd discourse. Having compared himself to the gate of the sheepfold in previous verses, Jesus continues the theme, likening himself not merely to the gate but to the shepherd himself. Whereas a hired hand flees at the sign of danger in an act of self-protection, Jesus vows as Good Shepherd to put himself in harms way, taking the very place of the sheep so that his Father's will may be fulfilled.Diving deep into our Gospel we'll spend our episode looking closer at:- The analogy of sheep and shepherd and how it fittingly describes the relationship between God and man [10:22]- A more precise translation of the title "Good Shepherd" [16:50]- The true identity of the wolf according to ancient Christian tradition [21:56]- The allusions to Trinitarian theology contained in our Gospel and the manner in which they point to our Christian vocation and destiny [32:19]- The Jewish liturgical feast that contextualizes our reading and that points to a cleansing of the corrupt Jerusalem priesthood [44:58]BIBLIOGRAPHYBrown, Raymond E.

Jesus is approached by a leper in our Gospel today.  Having ignored the Mosaic command to avoid others he draws close to Christ in order to request a miracle.  Moved by the man's faith, Jesus also ignores the conventions of Mosaic law, touching the man, healing him from his leprosy, and proving that the Divine touch is not only immune from ritual impurity but can actually bring about the wholeness that the law itself fails to cause.We'll spend our episode looking closer at:- A literal translation of our scene that unveils Mark's unique and vivid storytelling style [4:57]- The Greek roots of the phrase "moved with pity" and the raw, physiological emotion they assign to Jesus [25:36]- Some textual perplexities that have led scholars to believe Jesus also performed an exorcism when he healed the leper [33:45]- The notion of the "Messianic Secret" and why Jesus didn't always want people to know his identity [38:40]- Levitical requirements for the ritual offering for leprosy and how they image and prefigure Jesus' redemption on the Cross [45:40]- The fascinating way that Jesus quite literally switches roles with the leper by the end of our story [49:00]BIBLIOGRAPHYDonahue, John R., and Daniel J.

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit – Intro “If we're not careful, we can settle into a functional deism, where we say we believe in God's power to heal, but we rarely if ever pray boldly and expectantly for healing to happen.” [Alan Kraft, More: When a Little Bit of the Spirit Is Not Enough, ©2014] Dr. Ramsay MacMullan … [said] that early Christians “took miracles quite for granted. That was the general starting point. Not to believe them would have made you seem more than odd.” [Dr. Ramsay MacMullan, Christianizing the Roman Empire: A.D. 100-400 (New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1984) 22. 2.] Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills. (1 Corinthians 12:4-11) Nobody is left out. Use it. Stir it up. Brady Boyd, New Life Church, Colorado Springs, Colorado: “The Holy Spirit at work through us to glorify Jesus and to help people.” As a Christian, you are a gateway to the supernatural. The gifts of the Spirit are grace gifts from God. His kingdom is being more fully established as we use the gifts to help people. And it's because we are redeemed children of God that we can use those gifts. Community In community, there is a collective-ness to our faith. “I try to pray in a team whenever possible. Multiple people listening in prayer helps lessen the sense of pressure we feel to always hear the Spirit.” [Alan Kraft, More: When a Little Bit of the Spirit Is Not Enough, ©2014] Word gifts  Writing a letter  Brady Boyd and his teenage son  Roy Libby, engineer with Kodak Faith, healing and miracles The faith to be healed and to pray for the sick is nothing other than childlike trust in the loving character and purpose of our Heavenly Father. ... True Christian faith in all its expressions looks away from self to God and what he has done for us in Jesus Christ. The real question is not: “Do I believe strongly enough to be healed or to pray for the sick?” but, “Is God the sort of person I can trust, and am I willing to be open to his love?” [Ken Blue, Authority to Heal, (Downers Grove: InterVarsity Press, 1987), 103] Are we approaching our Father in childlike faith? Ultimately, healing is God's responsibility. So, we leave the results in His hands. Types and shadows. “Gods fellow workers.” (1 Corinthians 3:9) “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13) “For I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me...” (Romans 15:18)  “But the people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites...” (vs. 21)  “Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and its villages...” (vs. 27)  “And Ephraim did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer...”(vs. 29)  “Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron...” (vs. 30)  “Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco...” (vs. 31)  “Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Bethshemesh...” (vs. 33) “For you shall drive out the Canaanites, though they have chariots of iron, and though they are strong.” (Joshua 17:18) “And the Lord was with Judah, and he took possession of the hill country, but he could not drive out the inhabitants of the plain because they had chariots of iron.” (Judges 1:19) “But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those of them whom you let remain shall be as barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides, and they shall trouble you in the land where you dwell.” (Numbers 33:55, see also Judges 2:1-3) “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.” (John 14:12) It is a faith issue. “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.” (Matthew 11:12) “We walk by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7) Our job is to bring the kingdom more fully, more completely into this world. “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:10) He has given us the necessary tools—His eternal Word and the gifts of the Holy Spirit—to advance His kingdom. “Holy Spirit, what are You saying to me in this?”

Antônio Sampaio, Research Associate for Conflict, Security and Development, joins Dr Kori Schake for this episode of Sounds Strategic.How to provide robust security in rapidly growing cities has been a persistent challenge for policymakers, especially as more people are expected to move into cities throughout the 21st century. In this episode, Antônio explores the case of Rio de Janeiro, a city that has experienced extreme violence for decades as a result of state neglect and gang activity. Although Rio remains one of the most violent cities in the world, Antônio details some of the successful policies that have brought back a degree of stability and state control in the favelas, unofficial suburbs that have been the traditional heartland of Brazilian gangs.Most importantly, the policy successes and failures that Antônio highlights in his research in Rio have important lessons and applications for urban security in other cities around the world, from countering cartels in Mexico to reintroducing state control in the re-claimed city of Mosul in Iraq.For Antônio, developing effective human-centric approaches to urban security is vital and should be considered of equal importance to wider national-level security sector reform and development efforts before, during and after conflict. Counter to many policymakers' concerns, Antônio does not believe rapid urbanisation inherently leads to greater violence in cities. He warns that this belief is used to justify military-centric policy that increases police lethality but overlooks local political dynamics within cities.

The Tree of Knowing Good & Bad - Wisdom E2

BibleProject

In part 1 (0-19:15), Tim and Jon quickly review the last episode. Tim says the entire scriptural canon is to be viewed as “wisdom literature,” but the books that specifically pertain to Solomon, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, and Job are considered to be the classic wisdom books. Then they dive into examining the trees in the garden of Eden. Specifically the “Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.” Tim notes that the Hebrew word radoesn’t necessarily imply “evil;” it only means “bad.” Tim shares some other examples of the Hebrew word ra in the Bible. Good/Bad condition or quality: Jeremiah 24:1-2 the Lord showed me two baskets of figs placed in front of the temple of the Lord. One basket had very tov figs, like those that ripen early; the other basket had very ra’ figs, so ra’ they could not be eaten. Proverbs 25:19 a ra’ tooth and an unsteady foot, is confidence in a faithless man in time of trouble. Pleasant/unpleasant, beneficial/harmful: 1 Kings 5:4 But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side, and there is no enemy or ra’. Judges 16:25 It so happened when they were tov of heart, that they said, “Call for Samson, that he may amuse us.” So they called for Samson from the prison, and he entertained them. And they made him stand between the pillars. Ecclesiastes: 2:16-17 For the wise, like the fool, will not be long remembered; the days have already come when both have been forgotten. Like the fool, the wise too must die! So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was ra’ to me. Tim’s point is that to use the English word “evil” loads in too many ideas about moral issues between good and evil. Because of this, a more accurate translation would be “the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.” In part 2 (19:15-30:00), Tim notes that Adam and Eve are depicted as being in their moral infancy in the garden. They don’t know what is right and wrong. They need God to teach them how to be wise and how to choose what is right from wrong. Here are some other passages that use the Hebrew phrase “tov and ra’” or “good and bad” to illustrate this moral infancy in the Bible. “Knowing tov and ra’” is a sign of maturity. The phrase appears elsewhere to describe children: Deuteronomy 1:39 “...your little ones... and your sons, who today do not know good or evil, shall enter there, and I will give it to them and they shall possess it. 1 Kings 3:7-9 “Now, O Lord my God, You have made Your servant king in place of my father David, yet I am but a little child; I do not know how to go out or come in. So give Your servant a heart that listens, to judge Your people, to discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?” Isaiah 7:15-16 “[Immanuel] will eat curds and honey at the time He knows to refuse evil and choose good. For before the boy will know to refuse evil and choose good, the land whose two kings you dread will be forsaken. The narrative in Genesis 1-2 has shown that God knows what is “pleasant/beneficial,” and he will provide tov (the woman) when something is not tov (man being alone), that is, ra’. So the tree represents a choice: Will they live with God, allowing him to know/define tov and ra’? Presumably they need this knowledge as they mature, but the question is who will teach it to them? Will they learn from watching God’s knowledge at work? Adam and Eve are portrayed as “children.” The tree of knowing tov and ra’ represents two options or modes for how to know and experience tov and ra’: Will they “take” this knowledge for themselves, so that they “become like elohim,” knowing what is tov and ra’? Or instead, will they allow God to teach them wisdom? The gift of God to the man and woman became the means of the downfall. Instead of waiting for God to teach them “knowing good and bad,” they chose to take it for themselves, in their own time and way. Genesis 3:6 When the woman saw that the tree [of knowing good and bad] was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise (Heb. śekel), she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. “Wisdom” = śekel (להשכיל:( “śekel refers to a kind of wisdom. Its core meaning is “insight,” the ability to grasp the meanings or implications of a situation or message. Śekel is consequently discernment or prudence, the ability to understand practical matters and interpersonal relations and make beneficial decisions. It later comes to include intellectual understanding and unusual expertise.” (Michael V. Fox, Proverbs 1–9: A New Translation with Introduction and Commentary, vol. 18A, Anchor Yale Bible [New Haven; London: Yale University Press, 2008], 36.) In part 3 (30:00-39:45), Tim and Jon discuss the fallout of Adam and Eve’s decision to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and bad. When God holds “trial” with Adam and Eve, their response is to “fear” Yahweh, but in a way that drive them away from him. Genesis 3:8-10 They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?” He said, “I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.” Then they blame each other: man and woman, united in their rebellion and divided by the fallout. Genesis 3:16 “Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you.” This is the opposite of the ideal vision in Genesis 1:26-28 where man and woman rule together. The two are no longer one, but rather two, trying to gain leverage over one another. In part 4 (39:45-end), the guys discuss how God acts mercifully after Adam and Eve eat of the tree. Tim then starts to look forward to the stories of Solomon and how it hyperlinks back to the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. Thank you to all our supporters! Show Resources: Michael V.

Dr. Jochen Schwenk, vom Institut für Soziologie der Technischen-Universität Darmstadt, unterhält sich mit Dr. Udo Thiedeke über die irritierende Realität des Staates und unsere Erwartungen und Befürchtungen in Hinblick auf staatliches Handeln und staatliche Ordnung. Shownotes: #00:03:30## Zum Konzept des Habitus bei Pierre Bourdieu vgl. Pierre Bourdieu, 2012: Sur l’État. Cours au Collège de France 1989-1992. Paris: Seuil. #00:07:28## Den Begriff der "Kulturnation", der vom Bildungsbürgertum im 19. Jhr. für Deutschland in Anspruch genommen wurde, unterschied der Historiker Friedrich Meinecke von dem der "Staatsnation". Siehe: Friedrich Meinecke, 1962: Weltbürgertum und Nationalstaat. Werkausgabe, Bd. 5. Stuttgart: R. Oldenbourg. [1908] #00:08:50## Zur Problematik Deutschlands als "verspätete Nation" siehe: Helmut Plessner, 1959: Die verspätete Nation. Über die politische Verführbarkeit bürgerlichen Geistes. Stuttgart: Kohlhammer. #00:15:50## Bei dem Hinweis auf "bringing the state back in" handelt es sich um ein 1985 publizierten Sammelband. Der Anlass für diesen Band lieferte die Wiederkehr des Staates als Konzeptbegriff nachdem zuvor, so die Beobachtung der Autorinnen und Autoren, der Staat in den Sozialwissenschaften erstaunlich wenig Beachtung gefunden hatte. Besonders lesenswert in diesem Zusammenhang: Tilly, Charles, 1985, War Making and State Making as Organized Crime, in: Peter B. Evans, Dietrich Rueschemeyer, Theda Skocpol, 1985: Bringing the state back in. New York: Cambridge University Press, S. 169-191. #00:16:13## Konkret setzt sich Hermann Heller mit dem Problem staatlicher Gewaltausübung auseinander und hält in seiner "Staatslehre" fest: "Eine Militärgewalt, die sich nicht der Aufgabe unterordnet, das gebietsgesellschaftliche Zusammenwirken zu organisieren und zu aktivieren, ist nur als Räuberbande zu denken." (1983: 236) Hermann Heller, 1983: Staatslehre. 6. Aufl. Tübingen: Mohr. [1934]. Provokativ zugespitzt vergleicht Tilly (ebd.) in einem ähnlichen Sinne Staaten mit einer Erbresserbande. Staaten seien „quintessential protection rackets with the advantage of legitimicy" (161). #00:17:50## Im Rahmen seiner Studien zu ‚Gesellschaften gegen den Staat‘ hat Pierre Clastres sich auch mit dem Häuptlingstum beschäftigt. An Hand seines ethnographischen Materials konnte er zeigen, dass die ‚Gesellschaften gegen den Staat‘ die Staatslosigkeit dadurch auf Dauer stellen, dass sie eine reale Abspaltung der politischen Macht von der Gesellschaft verhindern. Dem Häuptling kommt dabei die Aufgabe zu, die politische Macht der Gesellschaft zu repräsentieren, während im selben Zuge alle reziproken Tauschbeziehungen zu ihm abgebrochen werden. Übrig bleibt ein Häuptling, der Mangels Möglichkeiten, auf die Gesellschaft einzuwirken, letztlich machtlos bleibt. Es handelt sich also um eine zugleich symbolische wie folgenlose Besetzung der Stelle der Macht, wodurch die reale politische Macht im Schoß der Gesellschaft verbleibt. Vgl. Pierre Clastres, 2011: Échange et Pouvoir: Philosophie de la Chefferie Indienne, in: ders.: La Société contre l’État. Paris: Les Édition Minuit, S. 25-42 [1974], sowie: ders.,1980, La question du pouvoir dans les sociétés primitives, 103-109. In: ders.: Recherches d’anthropologie politique. Paris: Seuil. Grundsätzlich zu staatenlosen Gesellschaften vgl.: Christian Sigrist, 2005: Regulierte Anarchie. Untersuchungen zum Fehlen und zur Entstehung politischer Herrschaft in segmentären Gesellschaften Afrikas. LIT: Münster; Georg Balandier, 1974: Politische Anthropologie. München: dtv sowie James C. Scott, 2009: The Art of not being Governed. An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast Asia. New Haven and London: Yale University Press. #00:19:00## Zur Funktionsweise der Gabe vgl. Marcel Mauss, 1990: Die Gabe. Form und Funktion des Austauschs in archaischen Gesellschaften, Frankfurt/M.: Suhrkamp. #00:20:22## Zum Begriff der "segmentären" oder "segmentär differenzierten Gesellschaft" vgl. Émile Durkheim, Émile, 1992: Mechanische Solidarität aus Ähnlichkeiten, in: Über soziale Arbeitsteilung. Studien über die Organisation höherer Gesellschaften, Frankfurt/M.: Suhrkamp, S. 118-161 [1893]; sowie zum Überblick: Online #00:28:58## Für Weber soll Staat „ein politischer Anstaltsbetrieb heißen, wenn und insoweit sein Verwaltungsstab erfolgreich das Monopol legitimen physischen Zwangs für die Durchführung der Ordnung in Anspruch nimmt". (Max Weber, 2005: Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft, Frankfurt/M., S. 38. [1925]). An anderer Stelle hält er weiter fest: "Der Staat ist, ebenso wie die ihm geschichtlich vorausgehenden politischen Verbände, ein auf das Mittel der legitimen (das heißt: als legitim angesehenen) Gewaltsamkeit gestütztes Herrschaftsverhältnis von Menschen über Menschen." (1980: 822). Max Weber, 1980: Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Grundriß der verstehenden Soziologie. 5. Aufl. Tübingen: Mohr. [1925] #00:29:28## Für Pierre Bourdieu ist der Staat vor allem auch eine erkenntnistheoretische Frage. Seinen Überlegungen zu Folge strukturiert der Staat, in dem er wesentliche Denk- und Wahrnehmungsschemate präfiguriert, unser Denken vor. Der Staat denkt sich also durch uns hindurch. Deshalb spricht Bourdieu davon, dass der Staat nicht nur – wie bei Weber – das Monopol der physischen Gewaltanwendung inne hat, sondern auch das der symbolischen. „In dem der Staat", so Bourdieu, „mit Autorität sagt, was ein Seiendes, ob Sache oder Person, seiner legitimen sozialen Definition nach wirklich ist (Urteil), das heißt, was es sein darf, was zu sein es ein Recht hat, auf welches soziale Sein es einen Rechtsanspruch hat, welchem Sein es einen Ausdruck zu verleihen, welches Sein es Ausdruck zu verleihen, welches Sein es auszuüben berechtigt ist […] übt der Staat eine wahrhaft schöpferische, gottähnliche Macht aus […]" (Pierre Bourdieu, 1998: Praktische Vernunft. Zur Theorie des Handelns. Frankfurt/M.: Suhrkamp, S. 115.) Die symbolische Macht des Staates liegt also vor allem auch in seiner Fähigkeit performativem Sprechens. Er ist damit die Konsekrationsinstanz der von ihm geschaffenen, sozialen Wirklichkeit und damit vor allem auch eine erkentnistheoretisch zu bedenkende Größe. (vgl. ebd, S. 96-136.). #00:35:22## Zur Figur der "Soziodizee" in Bezug auf den Staat vgl. ebd. #00:37:04## Zu Machiavellies Überlegungen zur Fürstenherrschaft siehe: Niccolò Machiavelli, 1995: Der Fürst. Aus dem Italienischen von Friedrich von Oppeln-Bronikowski. Mit einem Nachwort von Horst Günther. 5. Aufl. Frankfurt/M.: Insel-Verlag. [1532] #00:44:48## Die ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), die man besser als Institution oder Organisation, denn als Regulierungsbehörde benennt, nimmt eine zentrale Rolle bei der Strukturierung und Verwaltung des DNS (Domain Name Systems) des Internets ein. Sie reguliert also im weitesten Sinne den Adressraum des Internets. Mehr zur ICANN siehe hier: Online Zur Problematik der Organisation und Selbstorganisation der ICANN vgl. Jeanette Hofmann, Marc Holitscher, 2004: Zur Beziehung von Macht und Technik im Internet, in: Udo Thiedeke (Hrsg.): Soziologie des Cyberspace. Medien - Strukturen - Semantiken. Wiesbaden: VS. S. 411-436. #00:48:53## Der Soziologe Niklas Luhmann versteht den Staat als semantische Selbstbeschreibung einer organisierten Ordnung des politischen Systems, das er als Funktionssystem der modernen, funktional differenzierten Gesellschaft ansieht. Siehe: Niklas Luhmann, 2000: Die Politik der Gesellschaft. Posthum hrsg. v. André Kieserling. Frankfurt/M.: Suhrkamp. S. 190. #00:51:20## Ein Überblick zum Projekt "Stuttgart 21" und zum Bürgerprotest dagegen findet sich z.B. hier: Online #00:59:16## Der Hinweis zu Norbert Elias bezieht sich auf dessen Hauptwerk: Norbert Elias, 1969: Über den Prozess der Zivilisation. Soziogenetische und psychogenetische Untersuchungen. 2. Aufl. Bern, München: Francke. #01:02:26## Ulrich Beck hat Überlegungen zur Transnationalisierung in verschiedenen soziologischen Kontexten entwickelt, etwa zu Risikolagen oder zur Globalisierung. Sein Argument war dabei, dass angesichts globaler Risiken ein Übergang von nationaler und internationaler Politik zu "kosmopolitischer Politik" erfolgen müsse. Siehe: Ulrich Beck, 2002: Macht und Gegenmacht im globalen Zeitalter. Frankfurt/M.: Suhrkamp. #01:03:36## Lepsius hat sich mehrfach mit der Problematik der Nation und des Nationalismus auch im europäischen Maßstab auseinander gesetzt. Siehe z.B. M. Rainer Lepsius, 1993: Die Europäische Gemeinschaft und die Zukunft des Nationalstaats. In: ders.: Demokratie in Deutschland. Soziologisch-historische Konstellationsanalysen. Ausgewählte Aufsätze. Göttingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. S. 249-263. #01:11:59## Zu Norbert Elias und der Herausbildung des staatlichen Gewaltmonopols vgl.

National Gallery of Australia | Audio Tour | Turner to Monet: the triumph of landscape

By the early 1830s Turner was a regular visitor to the seaside town of Margate, on the eastern tip of the county of Kent, about seventy miles downriver from London. Turner’s first introduction to Margate came in the 1790s, when the place was essentially just a small fishing town, but it had since become a bustling resort that Londoners could reach effortlessly by steamboat in half a day. The geographic setting is remarkable, benefiting from a magnificently open prospect over the sea to the north and east, which allegedly induced Turner to claim that the skies in this area were among the loveliest in Europe. In addition to this natural prospect, the attractions of Margate were somewhat unorthodox for Turner, stemming from his clandestine relationship with Sophia Caroline Booth (1798–1875), a young widow, who was initially his landlady and subsequently his mistress and muse. From the windows of Mrs Booth’s lodging-house, near the harbour quay, Turner was able to watch the arrival and departure of the London steamers, a couple of which formed the subject of a painting he displayed at the Royal Academy in 1840 Rockets and blue lights (close at hand) to warn steamboats of shoal water.1 The basic composition of that work was anticipated by a study, Waves breaking on a lee shore c. 1840, which is a pair to the work exhibited here.2The studies focus on the shore on either side of Margate harbour; in this case looking back from the west to the light tower at the end of the protective outer wall, which is created as a dull silhouette by the later application of a lighter area of whitish grey paint around it. As in even his earliest depictions of the sea, Turner sought to give his painted representation dramatic textures that replicate, and seemingly act as a substitute for, the movement of water. Both of the Margate studies are painted with such expressive vigour that it has generally been assumed they may have been direct observations of the rolling sea, capturing the surge of the waves as they splay upwards into flying crests, before crashing on the beach. Though Turner evidently did make plein air studies in pencil and watercolour at Margate, the impracticalities of working in oils, while witnessing such fast-changing weather conditions, make it unlikely that this picture would have been painted in the same way. This makes the apparent spontaneity and directness of his images all the more impressive, especially his vivid attempts to provide an impression of the sea in motion, at a time before the introduction of photography enabled artists greater opportunity to dissect the underlying principles of movement more precisely.3] Ian Warrell 1 Martin Butlin and Evelyn Joll, The paintings of J.M.W.
