Archetyp nieustraszonego skandynawskiego wojownika porusza wyobraźnię kolejnych pokoleń odbiorców kultury (zwłaszcza masowej). Epickie narracje o wikingach, osadzone w surowej nordyckiej estetyce, to wycieczka do świata przygód, ponadczasowych wartości, rebelii i nierzadko – okrucieństwa. Fascynacja tamtymi realiami nie słabnie, tym bardziej że świat technologii oferuje coraz atrakcyjniejszy i bardziej dosłowny przekaz w postaci zaawansowanych cyfrowo gier wideo czy filmów. Dlaczego opowieści i mity o wikingach trafiły do popkultury? Kiedy pojawiały się pierwsze opracowania naukowe dotyczące skandynawskich zdobywców? Jacy polscy badacze byli pionierami w tym obszarze? Runy w popkulturze, czyli jak inskrypcje runiczne wpłynęły na nasze wyobrażenia o wikingach? W jaki sposób staronordyckie teksty inspirowały artystów? O tym wszystkim dyskutowali znawcy kultury skandynawskiej: Natalia Mazur-Rodak, Julia Jaworska i dr Jakub Morawiec, a spotkanie poprowadził dziennikarz, filolog szwedzki Jan Janczy.

Dwa tygodnie przed wyborami do Bundestagu Niemcy przechodzą poważny kryzys polityczny. Chcąc zaostrzyć przepisy migracyjne partia CDU niezamierzenie połączyła na chwilę siły ze skrajnie prawicową AfD.

Polityka gospodarcza w Polsce to temat budzący skrajne emocje. W najnowszym odcinku podcastu „Rzecz w tym” analizujemy ostrzeżenia Leszka Balcerowicza o „fałszywych świętych Mikołajach” rozdających obywatelom kosztowne prezenty, które w efekcie obciążają ich samych. Gościem poniedziałkowego odcinka podcastu jest Krzysztof Adam Kowalczyk, kierownik działu Ekonomia „Rzeczpospolitej”. Rozmawiamy o konsekwencjach rozdawnictwa pieniędzy, inflacji oraz stagnacji gospodarczej, która może uniemożliwić Polsce dogonienie Zachodu.   Leszek Balcerowicz w wywiadzie dla RMF wskazał, że luźna polityka pieniężna i fiskalna prowadzi do stagnacji, a nie rozwoju gospodarczego. Nasz gość przyznaje, że Balcerowicz ma rację.  - Narodowy Bank Polski zbyt długo utrzymywał zerowe stopy procentowe, co wydłużyło okres wysokiej inflacji – mówi Krzysztof Adam Kowalczyk. Dyskusja rozwija się wokół błędów, które sprawiły, że Polacy odczuwają spadek siły nabywczej swoich oszczędności i wynagrodzeń.   Inflacja – efekt luźnej polityki   Rozmówca zwraca uwagę na przyczyny inflacji, które sięgają daleko przed pandemię czy wojnę w Ukrainie. - Zamiast ograniczać wydatki, rządy rozdawały pieniądze, a bank centralny nie trzymał lejców. Skutkiem był skok inflacji do 18% w 2022 roku – wyjaśnia Kowalczyk. Wskazuje też na działania polityczne przed wyborami, takie jak obniżki stóp procentowych, które służyły bardziej interesom władzy niż stabilności gospodarczej.   „Fałszywi święci Mikołajowie” w polskiej polityce Leszek Balcerowicz w dzisiejszym wywiadzie dla RMF nazwał rządowych darczyńców „fałszywymi świętymi Mikołajami”. Kowalczyk rozwija tę metaforę: „To jakby ktoś dał ci pierścionek z brylantem na kredyt zapisany na twój PESEL. Święty Mikołaj okazuje się fałszywy, bo rachunek i tak zapłacisz sam”. Takie działania, zdaniem eksperta, prowadzą do zadłużenia państwa i obciążenia przyszłych pokoleń, które będą musiały spłacać te kosztowne prezenty.   Populizm kontra rozsądek Polska gospodarka cierpi na zbyt duży wpływ polityki i populizmu, który napędza nieodpowiedzialne wydatki. - Nie da się wygrać wyborów bez obietnic typu 500+ czy 800+ – zauważa Kowalczyk. Problemem jest również brak woli politycznej, by przeprowadzać poważne rozmowy o konieczności oszczędzania czy zwiększania podatków w trudnych czasach.   Leszek Balcerowicz wskazuje, że obecna polityka gospodarcza prowadzi do stagnacji. Wciąż pozostajemy w tyle za krajami Zachodu w zakresie dochodów i produktywności. Kowalczyk podkreśla, że rozwiązaniem mogłoby być inwestowanie w innowacyjność i wzrost produktywności, a nie sztuczne podnoszenie płacy minimalnej czy wspieranie niskomarżowych sektorów gospodarki.   Polska ma jeden z najwyższych udziałów sektora państwowego w gospodarce w Europie. Zdaniem naszego gościa, przedsiębiorstwa kontrolowane przez państwo często działają mniej efektywnie. - Największe firmy energetyczne czy banki są zarządzane przez osoby z politycznego nadania, co nie sprzyja innowacyjności – mówi Kowalczyk. Przykłady krajów takich jak Norwegia pokazują, że sektor państwowy może działać efektywnie, ale wymaga profesjonalnego zarządzania.   Czas na poważne rozmowy Na zakończenie rozmowy Kowalczyk apeluje o większą odpowiedzialność w polityce gospodarczej. Podkreśla, że społeczeństwo powinno być świadome, iż państwo nie ma własnych pieniędzy – rozdawane środki pochodzą z podatków lub długów. - Politycy boją się mówić o zaciskaniu pasa, bo to niemodne. Ale bez poważnych reform stagnacja gospodarcza będzie naszą codziennością – ostrzega.   Jeśli chcesz dowiedzieć się więcej o aktualnych analizach i prognozach gospodarczych, odwiedź dział Ekonomia na rp.pl.

Podejrzewano je o paktowanie z diabłem, a co za tym idzie – sprowadzanie na lokalną społeczność śmierci, chorób czy nieurodzaju. Stosowano wobec nich najbardziej wymyślne tortury, by skłonić do zeznań i zmusić do wyznania winy. Los „czarownic” w dawnej Skandynawii nie różnił się znacznie od losu podejrzanych o czary w innych częściach Europy. W Norwegii polowania na czarownice nasiliły się na przełomie XVI i XVII wieku. Większość oskarżonych stanowiły kobiety, choć wśród podejrzanych zdarzali się także mężczyźni najczęściej saamskiego pochodzenia. Jak wynika z dotychczasowych badań, na świecie, w ramach procesów o czary, skazano w tym okresie na śmierć ok. 60. tysięcy osób, z czego 75 proc. to kobiety. W samej Norwegii wykonano 300 takich wyroków, w tym 250 – na kobietach. Osoby uznane za winne najczęściej skazywano na śmierć przez spalenie. Była to zarówno forma egzekucji, jak i symboliczne „oczyszczenie" duszy przez ogień. Co oznaczały pojęcia magii czy magicznej mocy w mitologii i folklorze skandynawskim? Jak przedstawiano czarownice w średniowiecznych podaniach ludowych? Kiedy i w jaki sposób zmieniało się społeczne nastawienie do stosowania praktyk magicznych? Katolicyzm a reformacja – na ile różniły się w podejściu do folkloru, podań ludowych czy podtrzymywania rytuałów pogańskich? O tym wszystkim rozmawiał dziennikarz, filolog szwedzki, literaturoznawca – Jan Janczy ze swoimi gościniami: tłumaczką i norwegistką Martą Petryk oraz skandynawistka i filolożką norweską Natalią Mazur-Rodak.

Jest czwartek, 14 października, a w najnowszym odcinku „Twój Biznes” Bartłomiej Kawałek podsumowuje kluczowe wydarzenia gospodarcze. Dzisiaj przyjrzymy się sytuacji na rynku pracy, rozwojowi polskiego eksportu zbrojeniowego oraz trendom na Giełdzie Papierów Wartościowych. Ponadto poznaliśmy zwycięzców XX edycji Rankingu Samorządów Rzeczpospolitej, gdzie najwyższe miejsca zajęły Dąbrowa Górnicza, Łeba i gmina Skalmierzyce. Najważniejsze informacje: Rośnie liczba ofert pracy – W październiku na polskich portalach rekrutacyjnych opublikowano o 12% więcej ofert niż rok temu. Poszukiwani są głównie specjaliści IT, inżynierowie oraz specjaliści z sektora logistyki. Eksport Piorunów – Polski przemysł zbrojeniowy przyciąga uwagę krajów europejskich. Norwegia, Litwa i Estonia planują zakup polskich wyrzutni Piorun, dzięki czemu Polska oraz jej partnerzy zyskają premię finansową z unijnego programu EDIRPA. Problemy i prymusi na GPW – Mimo trudnych warunków rynkowych niektóre spółki na GPW, takie jak Forte, Dino i Bank Millenium, notują solidne wzrosty, co chroni je przed spadkami widocznymi w indeksie WIG20. InPost wychodzi poza granice Polski – Nowa usługa pozwoli klientom wysyłać paczki między paczkomatami w Polsce a sześcioma krajami europejskimi, z konkurencyjnymi cenami dostawy.

Folklor północy jest nie tylko ważnym elementem tożsamości krajów skandynawskich, ale także źródłem fascynacji i inspiracji twórców z różnych kręgów kulturowych. Mity, legendy czy wierzenia ludowe uruchamiają naszą wyobraźnię, stanowiąc jednocześnie źródło prostych prawd i uniwersalnych wartości, czasem tak niedocenianych w dzisiejszym świecie. Po co nam dziś stare opowieści? Co dokładnie oznacza pojęcie „folklor północy”? Jaki obraz Norwegii, Islandii, Wysp Owczych utrwalono w legendach i podaniach ludowych? W jaki sposób elfy i trolle zostały zaadaptowane do współczesności? Jaką funkcje pełniły opowieści ludowe; w jaki sposób tłumaczyły rzeczywistość i ostrzegały przed niebezpieczeństwem? Dlaczego studenci skandynawistyki powinni czytać Nordyckie Opowieści? Czego wymaga się od tłumacza robiącego przekłady starych podań? Jakie są najnowsze publikacje dotykające folkloru północy w Polsce? W świat starych nordyckich opowieści zabierze nas redaktor Radia Nowy Świat, lektor języka szwedzkiego Jan Janczy oraz jego gościnie: skandynawistka i historyczka sztuki Emiliana Konopka, tłumaczka Agnes Arsól oraz skandynawista i filolożka norweska Natalia Mazur-Rodak. A wszystko to w ramach webinaru Folklor północy – obraz świata uchwycony w legendarzu.

Spanyol, Irlandia dan Norwegia pada resmi mengakui Palestina sebagai sebuah negara, dengan harapan negara-negara Eropa lain akan menyusul. Sementara itu, dua kandidat capres AS, Joe Biden dan Donald Trump, memperebutkan suara di Pennsylvania, salah satu negara bagian terpenting dalam Pilpres AS.

Norwegia, Hiszpania i Irlandia zapowiadają uznanie państwowości Palestyny 28 maja. Premier Norwegii powiedział, że to powstanie dwóch państw jest jedynym trwałym rozwiązaniem, a bez niego nie będzie pokoju na Bliskim Wschodzie. Izrael zapowiada poważne konsekwencje dla trzech państw. Główny prokurator Międzynarodowego Trybunał Karnego Karim Khan zarekomendował postawienie w stan oskarżenia trzech liderów Hamasu, a także premiera Izraela i ministra obrony tego kraju. W Izraelu oburzenie również prezydent Biden nazwał próbę zrównania Izraela i Hamasu skandaliczną, a sekretarz stanu Blinken sugeruje możliwość nałożenia przez Waszyngton bliżej nieokreślonych sankcji na MTK. Jak te dwie decyzje wpłyną na wojnę Izraela z Hamasem i na sytuację wewnętrzną w samym Izraelu, gdzie coraz silniej słychać głosy krytyczne wobec polityki rządu Netanyahu.

On this episode of the Sarah B Show Sarah takes a deep dive into TROLLS - not the good kind like in Norwegia, but the bad bully internet types. Sarah goes over some troll comments that she has received over the years and even goes into a particularly nasty and dangerous troll attack she had that tore her family apart for a bit. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thesarahbshow/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thesarahbshow/support

Dogadałby się Pan z wikingami? – pytam prof. Jakuba Morawca. Odpowiada po chwili zastanowienia: – Dobre pytanie. Może gdybyśmy do siebie pisali na kartkach. Musimy pamiętać, że my operujemy językiem biernym, którego wymowę próbujemy przystosować ze współczesnego islandzkiego. Ale nie możemy być jej pewni.Prof. Morawiec zajmuje się badaniami nad dziejami średniowiecznej Skandynawii, rozwojem ideologii władzy królewskiej, miejscowej historiografii oraz skaldami. Pracuje w Instytucie Historii na Wydziale Humanistycznym Uniwersytetu Śląskiego, gdzie się spotykamy.Wiemy, że wikingowie bywali na południowym brzegu Bałtyku wcześniej niż napad na klasztor Lindisfarne w 793 roku, często uważany za początek epoki wikingów. Atak na ten właśnie klasztor rozsławił mnich Alkunin, który w dramatycznym liście do króla Nortumbrii Ethelreda pisał: „ My i nasi ojcowie mieszkaliśmy na tej urodnej ziemi przez blisko trzysta pięćdziesiąt lat, i nigdy dotąd w Brytanii nie widziano takiego bestialstwa, jak to, którego doświadczyliśmy z rąk tych pogan. Nikt nie sądził, że taka morska wyprawa jest możliwa. Kościół św. Kutberta – najświętsze miejsce w Brytanii – jest zbryzgany krwią sług bożych, ograbiony ze wszystkiego, splądrowany przez barbarzyńców.” - Alkunin był rozemocjonowany, bo chodziło o klasztor nie tylko ważny, ale też bliski jemu samemu. Takie incydenty zdarzały się już wcześniej, a mnich jakoś nie reagował równie żywiołowo, a przynajmniej nic na ten temat nie wiemy – komentuje prof. Morawiec.Rozmawiamy również o tym, co wiemy o wikińskich wojowniczkach, dlaczego bycie wikingiem-emerytem to był fatalny pomysł, jest o wzajemnych inspiracjach między wikingami a chrześcijanami. Proszę również prof. Morawca o kilka słów „ po wikińsku” (skutecznie!).

Sustainable Success: Ingrid and the Windmill Story Transcript: Nb: Ingrid var en ung kvinne som bodde i Oslo, Norges hovedstad. En: Ingrid was a young woman who lived in Oslo, Norway's capital. Nb: Hun jobbet som lærer på en barneskole og elsket å undervise om miljøvern. En: She worked as a teacher in an elementary school and loved teaching about environmental protection. Nb: Ingrid var bekymret for klimaendringene og ønsket å bidra til Norges mål om å gå over til en mer bærekraftig økonomi. En: Ingrid was concerned about climate change and wanted to contribute to Norway's goal of moving to a more sustainable economy. Nb: En dag bestemte hun seg for å ta med elevene på en ekskursjon til en vindmøllepark utenfor byen. En: One day she decided to take the students on a field trip to a wind farm outside the city. Nb: Barna var begeistret for å se store vindmøller som snudde seg i vinden. En: The children were thrilled to see large windmills turning in the wind. Nb: Ingrid underviste dem om hvordan vindmøllene produserte ren energi og var et alternativ til olje og gass. En: Ingrid taught them how the windmills produced clean energy and were an alternative to oil and gas. Nb: Mens de var der, møtte de en mann som jobbet på vindmølleparken. En: While there, they met a man who worked at the wind farm. Nb: Han fortalte dem at parken var en del av Norges nye plan for å redusere avhengigheten av olje og gass og å produsere mer ren energi. En: He told them that the park was part of Norway's new plan to reduce dependence on oil and gas and to produce more clean energy. Nb: Ingrid og elevene var imponert over hva de hadde lært, og de bestemte seg for å støtte Norges mål om å redusere utslippene. En: Ingrid and the students were impressed by what they had learned, and they decided to support Norway's goal of reducing emissions. Nb: På vei tilbake til Oslo, stoppet de på en gård og kjøpte lokale økologiske grønnsaker, egg og melk. En: On their way back to Oslo, they stopped at a farm and bought local organic vegetables, eggs and milk. Nb: De diskuterte hvordan matproduksjonen også påvirket miljøet og hvordan å spise lokale, økologiske matvarer kunne være et annet skritt mot å oppnå en mer bærekraftig økonomi. En: They discussed how food production also affected the environment and how eating local, organic food could be another step towards achieving a more sustainable economy. Nb: Da de kom tilbake til skolen, hadde Ingrid og hennes elever en idé. En: When they returned to school, Ingrid and her students had an idea. Nb: De bestemte seg for å starte en egen skolehage hvor de kunne dyrke sine egne grønnsaker og lære mer om økologi og bærekraftig matproduksjon. En: They decided to start their own school garden where they could grow their own vegetables and learn more about ecology and sustainable food production. Nb: Skolehagen ble en stor suksess, og Ingrid var stolt av å kunne bidra til Norges mål om å redusere avhengigheten av olje og gass og produsere mer ren energi og mer bærekraftig matproduksjon. En: The school garden was a great success, and Ingrid was proud to be able to contribute to Norway's goal of reducing dependence on oil and gas and producing more clean energy and more sustainable food production. Nb: I slutten av året ble Ingrid og hennes elever belønnet for sin innsats med en miljøpris fra byen Oslo. En: At the end of the year, Ingrid and her students were rewarded for their efforts with an environmental award from the city of Oslo. Nb: Prisutdelingen ble arrangert på Rådhusplassen, og de ble hyllet som miljøvernere og inspirasjonskilder for andre skoler i byen og i hele landet. En: The award ceremony was held at Rådhusplassen, and they were hailed as environmentalists and sources of inspiration for other schools in the city and throughout the country. Nb: Ingrid og hennes elever var lykkelige og stolte over hva de hadde oppnådd. En: Ingrid and her students were happy and proud of what they had achieved.

Nb: Det var frykt og spenning. En: It was one of fear and tension.

En: The Viking Gilde Festival was being held in a time of great strife, as the powerful jarls of the area had been feuding for years and their arguments had finally reached a boiling point.

En: On the first day of the festival, Gert and Liv noticed that the jarls had brought their forces and set up camp near the festival grounds. Nb: Gert, som ønsket å vise sin styrke og mot i møte med fare, valgte å ignorere jarlene og nyte festivalen.

En: Meanwhile, Liv used her wit and charisma to try and negotiate with the jarls, pleading with them to end their feud peacefully. Nb: Overraskende nok hadde ordene hennes en effekt på jarlene, som til slutt gikk med på en våpenhvile og demonterte styrkene deres. En: Surprisingly, her words had an effect on the jarls, who finally agreed to a truce and dismantled their forces.
