Podcasts about marginality

We get into some updates on FITS and we read a little about marginality and anti-structure from The Trickster and the Paranormal by George P. Hansen. In my opinion, two very important compents of what makes the paranormal so interesting and intruiging. We do some more and things get a bit saucy, too. Donate to Liminal! https://seedandspark.com/fund/liminalshow#storyYou can be a part of new podcast Paranonymous if you want to share an anonymous story with me! Call or text: 818-835-0563See you at live show on the road for some standup! www.ryansingercomedy.com/tourBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/me-paranormal-you-with-ryan-singer--5471727/support.

In Season 3 Episode 6 of I So Appreciate You!, co-hosts Nadege Souvenir and Melanie Hoffert explore why succession planning is so important and what individuals and organizations can do to make leadership transitions successful for everyone involved. Guests Carmen Giménez and Ruby Oluoch are two seasoned nonprofit leaders who share their experiences with leadership transitions. They discuss the role board members play in educating and connecting new leaders and why it takes considerable time to build trust between leaders, board members and staff in order to ensure successful transitions. Having a communicative, established and knowledgeable board can help fill those gaps in times of transition. Another step organizations can take to ensure smooth transitions is general planning around succession. “Succession is an occasion for an organization to do some inward thinking about who they are and what they want. An organization isn't built around a person, but it is shaped by that person. There's a lot of adapting that happens, so it's preparing the organization at a micro level and anticipating the changes that need to happen.” Carmen and Ruby also discuss what individuals stepping into new leadership roles can do to support board and staff members during transitional times and to ease some of their own onboarding. They chat about the importance of protecting your vision and imagination when transitioning into new roles, especially if working in a place of deficit within organizations. Carmen and Ruby talk with Nadege and Melanie about the joys of discovery and learning in a new role, as well as the freedom of allowing yourself to be wrong or to not know everything when becoming a new leader. Rounding out the conversation, they share what emerging research is saying about leadership transitions, particularly with BIPOC leadership, and what can be done to support narrative change in organizations.   Links   Bell Hooks' Marginality as a site of resistance  Robert Sterling Clark Foundation “Brilliant Transformations: Toward Full Flourishing in BIPOC Leadership Transitions”    Follow Ruby here:  Gems Newsletter Sign Up  Ruby's LinkedIn  Washington Area Women's Foundation “Thrive As They Lead” Report    Follow Carmen here:  Carmen's Website  Graywolf Press  Graywolf Press Instagram

We live in an age of Liminality. It's at the roots of the Meaning Crisis of Nihilism and Leftist value structures. Coming from the same Latin word as subliminal (*limin* meaning "threshold") it is a term that has entered the mainstream from its roots in Anthropology with the work of Victor Turner. Victor Turner developed the concept in his work The Ritual Process. In this episode we will be answering the question what is Liminality and we'll be exploring it and its two cousins Marginality and Inferiority and how this trifecta shape the value structure of all society in the interplay between their Communitas/Antistructure with the world of politics economics and law — of status, power and competition — (which Turner calls "Structure"). ____________________

If you've ever been a part of a team, you no doubt have had experiences with successful and not-so-successful collaborations.  What makes collaborations fruitful, and, why and when do they stall or dead-end? Our field has been grappling with these questions for quite some time, both in virtual and in-person learning environments. Collaborations typically involve two or more learners who come together to jointly analyze problems and develop a plan or solution to address it. But, my guests today want to problematize this straightforward notion of collaboration, and push us to think about collaboration not just as a process of joint knowledge construction, but as a situated process in which students exercise agency, navigate and even shift power dynamics, and negotiate their social and intellectual authority and identity.  Our guests today are Drs. Jennifer Langer Osuna and Karlyn Adams-Wiggins. Jenny is an Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University, and Karlyn is an Associate Professor of Applied Developmental Psychology at Portland State University.  --- Works Discussed: Packer, M.

Gendering Peace in Violent Peripheries: Marginality, Masculinity, and Feminist Agency (Routledge, 2022) forward Assam (and Northeast India) as a specific location for studying operations of gendered power in multi-ethnic, conflict-habituated geopolitical peripheries globally. In the shifting and relational margins of such peripheral societies, power and agency are constantly negotiated and in flux. Notions of masculinity are redefined in an interlaced environment of militarization, hyper-masculinization, and gendered violence. These interconnections inform victimhood and agency among the most vulnerable marginalised constituencies – namely, women and migrants. By centering the marginalised in its inquiry, the book analyses obstacles to achieving positive, organic peace based on cooperation and mutual healing. The tools used to perpetuate an endless cycle of violence that makes conflict a habit – a way of life – are identified in order to enable resistance against them from within the margins. Such resistance must be based on reflexivity and strategic, cautious radicalism. This involves critically interrogating the inherent connections between engendered pasts and feminist futures, local changes and global contexts, as well as between small, incremental changes and big shifts impacting entire societies, nations, and global orders. This book will be of much interest to students of ethnic conflict, conflict resolution, feminist peace, and Asian/South Asian politics.

We continue our Best of 2022 episodes with an  episode from the Village SquareCast podcast, hosted by the Village Square.How do societies respond to great demographic change? This question lingers over the contemporary politics of the United States and other countries where persistent immigration has altered populations and may soon produce a majority minority milestone.

In this podcast series, we ask an artist represented in the David and Indrė Roberts Collection, and who was also part of one of the Evening of Performances, to select a work by another artist represented in the collection as the starting point for the discussion.We invited Dora García, an artist who often draws on interactivity and performance in her work. At our 2008 Evening of Performances, García performed The Game of Questions, a performance that blurred boundaries between spectator and performer.In this edition, she chose Ida Applebroog's A Performance, (1977-1981) which sparks a discussion about reading and performance, marginality and collaboration.Have questions, comments or want to see more of what the Roberts Institute of Art does?

On November 19th the Iran 1400 Project hosted a Spotlighting an Author event with distinguished social historian, Stephanie Cronin of Oxford University. Dr. Cronin discussed her newly-released book, Social Histories of Iran: Modernism and Marginality in the Middle East, which problematizes concepts of modernity in Iran and the broader Middle East with a global comparative perspective. The book investigates the lives of the underclasses of Iranian society in the 19th and 20th centuries and their particular relationship with both socio-economic hierarchies and modernity. A central argument of the book is that modernity was a project conducted by the elite classes of society, especially in the context of Iran. Throughout the Q&A session, Dr. Cronin answered questions on topics ranging from issues surrounding veiling to the history of slavery in Iran and the surrounding region. The event serves not only as a fitting summary of Dr. Cronin's book but also as a fascinating discussion for anyone interested in the history of Iran in the last century.

Connecting with Learners - Learner Centered Approaches (EP:18) With  Dr. Cheryll Albold, Ph.D.  Learner-Centered instructional approaches ask educators to shift their focus from traditional, teacher-centric approaches, where instructors push information at learners, to one that asks learners to actively co-create knowledge and participate in their learning. This transition from "Sage on the Stage" to "Guide on the Side" is not always a simple one and requires that educators connect with their learners.  In this episode, Stacy Craft chats with Dr. Cheryll Albold, an assistant professor of medical education in the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science and Administrator and Designated Institutional Administrator for the Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education, about why connecting with learners is so important, principles and foundations for learner-centered approaches, and pedagogically-sound practices and simple design recommendations to help you start incorporating more learner-centered strategies in your education Questions?

I interviewed Gregory L. Cuéllar about his book Resacralizing the Other at the US-Mexico Border: A Borderland Hermeneutic (Routledge, 2020). We talk about the way the sacred is weaponsised by elite powers to shape social reality, the way it grants permanence to the negating of the inherent sacred worth of the black and brown bodies of those approaching or crossing the border, while sacralizing the Anglo-American project of colonisation, violence, and manifest destiny. We talk about how – counter intuitively – appealing to the sacredness of the other can provide a way toward a healing strategy, and how this book seeks to “attend in a healing way to the recurring, open wounds of postcoloniality at the US-Mexico border” – wounds that are, for the author, personal.Gregory L. Cuéllar is Associate Professor of Old Testament at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, USA. He is the author of Voices of Marginality (2008) and Empire, the British Museum, and the Making of the Biblical Scholar in the Nineteenth Century: Archival Criticism (2019).Buy the book: https://www.routledge.com/Resacralizing-the-Other-at-the-US-Mexico-Border-A-Borderland-Hermeneutic/Cuellar/p/book/9780367348335Find More: www.loverinserepeat.comFollow the Show: @RinseRepeatPod // Follow me: @liammiller87Music by Fyzex

El teatro ocupa un lugar importante en nuestro corazón, tanto arriba como abajo del escenario, y encontrar a una colega tan apasionada por la traducción teatral es como un match made in heaven. Nuestra invitada de este episodio es Catherine Boyle y su currículum es tan impresionante que ninguna presentación le hace justicia. Empecemos por decir que estudió Lenguas extranjeras modernas en la Universidad de Strathclyde, Glasgow, Escocia. Luego obtuvo una maestría y un doctorado en la Universidad de Liverpool. En 1990 comenzó a trabajar en el King’s College de Londres, en el departamento de Estudios Latinoamericanos. De 1997 a 2006 fue jefa del departamento y en 2007 se convirtió en profesora de Estudios de la cultura latinoamericana. En 2010 fue nombrada directora del nuevo Departamento de Español, Portugués y Estudios latinoamericanos en esta misma universidad. Sus investigaciones siempre se centraron en cómo se producen las expresiones culturales en un determinado contexto social e histórico. Desde su tesis del doctorado sobre el teatro chileno entre 1973 y 1985, Marginality, Power and Selfhood (1992), viene desarrollando metodologías para el estudio y la práctica del teatro en el texto y en la actuación, incorporando ideas de transmisión cultural y traducción dentro de la práctica teatral. Cómo comenzó este interés tan particular le preguntamos. Catherine nos cuenta que al ser escocesa y de familia de clase trabajadora, cuando estudiaba en la universidad vivió en carne propia la llegada de exiliados de Latinoamérica que huían de las dictaduras, y la solidaridad que se les mostró por esas tierras. Esa situación le provocó interés por estudiar la conexión entre las artes, la cultura y la política. Cuando comenzó las investigaciones para su tesis del doctorado se dio cuenta de que la mejor manera de encontrar esa conexión era estudiar el teatro, y decidió concentrar sus investigaciones en las expresiones teatrales chilenas durante la dictadura de Pinochet. Catherine vivió en Chile de 1983 a 1986 y trabajó con mucha gente del ambiente teatral chileno, lo que le permitió entender que, indudablemente, no hay desconexión entre el arte y la política y que el teatro funciona como un acto cultural, artístico y político. Sobre todo entendió que una obra teatral llega a concretarse porque hay muchas personas involucradas. Una experiencia que Catherine describe como life-changing. En su abultado corpus de trabajos de investigación, nos llamó la atención su trabajo como traductora y consultora para la temporada que realizó la Royal Shakespeare Company sobre el siglo de oro español. Nos cuenta que fue una experiencia maravillosa que comenzó con un proceso preliminar de dos años durante el cual leyeron un montón de obras, intercambiaron sinopsis, intercambiaron ideas y fueron eligiendo poco a poco las cinco obras que finalmente se pusieron en escena. También, por supuesto, estuvo presente en la etapa de ensayos, trabajó con los actores, con los directores, directores de escena, y todas las partes involucradas en el montaje de una obra teatral. Claro que, como Catherine resalta, la RSC cuenta con subsidios del estado que le permiten trabajar en un proceso de excelencia que le aseguran productos de excelencia también. Como traductora, fue un verdadero reto adentrarse en el mundo de Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, en su sintaxis, su puntuación, su manera de desafiar el mundo masculino, para luego traducir al inglés una voz que los actores pudieran actuar y respirar. Los actores le hacían preguntas que tenían que ver con algunas metáforas, con la mitología, con circunstancias sociales o históricas.

ASC seminar with Marco Di Nunzio Marco Di Nunzio speaks about his new book, The Act of Living. The book explores the relation between development and marginality in Ethiopia, one of the fastest growing economies in Africa. Replete with richly depicted characters and multi-layered narratives on history, everyday life and visions of the future, Di Nunzio's ethnography of hustling and street life is an investigation of what is to live, hope and act in the face of the failing promises of development and change. Di Nunzio follows the life trajectories of two men, 'Haile' and 'Ibrahim,' as they grow up in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, enter street life to get by, and turn to the city's expanding economies of work and entrepreneurship to search for a better life. Apparently favourable circumstances of development have not helped them achieve social improvement. As their condition of marginality endures, the two men embark in restless attempts to transform living into a site for hope and possibility. By narrating Haile and Ibrahim's lives, The Act of Living explores how and why development continues to fail the poor, how marginality is understood and acted upon in a time of promise, and why poor people's claims for open-endedness can lead to better and more just alternative futures. Tying together anthropology, African studies, political science, and urban studies, Di Nunzio takes readers on a bold exploration of the meaning of existence, hope, marginality, and street life.

Abstract Spatially and temporal marginal characters in a narrative may not be marginal in terms of meaning and affect. While a marginal character may be incidental, providing an interlude or local colour, he or she may also either, in their marginality deliberately and unintendedly indicate the social parameters of the world of the narrative, or may even constitute a concern that is both central and inadmissible to it. These dynamics of marginality will be discussed through the role of black and gay characters in La dolce vita (Italy 1960 Federico Fellini).

Marco Di Nunzio (Université Libre de Bruxelles) gives a talk for the African Studies Centre seminar series on 7th February 2013.

This paper is based on our research on the former Habsburg Austrian city of Czernowitz – now Chernivtsi in the Ukraine – and the region formerly known as Transnistria, to which thousands of Czernowitz Jews were deported by fascist Romanians and their Nazi German allies during World War Two. It contrasts incipient and reluctant local efforts to memorialize this complicated and painful history with the memorial acts of Czernowitz survivors and their descendants scattered throughout the world. What has been erased and forgotten in contemporary Chernivtsi, takes ever-new form in the memories returning survivors bring back to place and, even more fully, in the lively afterlife this destroyed European Jewish culture displays on the World Wide Web. We argue that memory has become “connective” – generated by digital archives and practices and by the communities these foster on digital social networks. These communities elicit desires for renewed “return” engagements to place that, in turn, continue to energize additional digital listserv and website interactivity. Marianne Hirsch is the William Peterfield Trent Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University and Professor in the Institute for Research on Women and Gender. Hirsch was born in Romania to parents who survived the Holocaust, and she received her BA/MA and PhD from Brown University. In 1998 Hirsch had the opportunity with Leo Spitzer to revisit Czernowitz, now Chernivitsi, Romania, to collect narratives and histories from her parents’ former home where they endured years of persecution. These as well as other intricately connected memories and remembrances of the Holocaust are collected in Ghosts of Home: the Afterlife of Czernowitz in Jewish Memory (2010), co-authored with Leo Spitzer.Hirsch is the former editor of PMLA and the recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the ACLS, the Mary Ingraham Bunting Institute, the National Humanities Center, and the Bellagio and Bogliasco Foundations. Her book, The Generation of Postmemory: Gender and Visuality After the Holocaust, is forthcoming in 2012. Leo Spitzer is the Kathe Tappe Vernon Professor of History Emeritus at Dartmouth College. His numerous publications and essays, including Hotel Bolivia: The Culture of Memory in a Refuge from Nazism (1999) and Lives in Between: Assimilation and Marginality in Austria, Brazil and West Africa (1999), directly or indirectly deal with displacement, resistance, and with the role of personal and cultural memory. A significant contribution to this line of thought stems from his own childhood when his parents fled from war-torn Austria to Bolivia where he was born and raised in La Paz within a community of German-speaking refugees. Spitzer recalls the tenacity of this community who courageously adjusted their lives to reconfigure spaces where they might both remember the traditions of their past and leave room for new beginnings. From 1992-1993, Spitzer was a Lucius Littauer Fellow at the National Humanities Center, and he is the recipient of Guggenheim, Ford, and NEH awards and fellowships, among others.
