Podcast appearances and mentions of Olga Tokarczuk

Hongrie, Allemagne, France, Turquie : chaque pays a sa stratégie pour inciter à la procréation mais le désir d'enfants ne suit pas. Reportage en Lituanie et analyse de Thibault Prébay. Également dans cette émission, l'espoir des Kurdes pour la reconnaissance de leur langue en Turquie, et les difficultés de la Silésie à faire accepter la sienne en Pologne. Cette émission est une rediffusion estivale.  Démographie La baisse de la fertilité est une réalité mondiale mais elle préoccupe particulièrement dans une Europe à la population déjà âgée. Dans le nord du continent, en Lituanie, le nombre d'enfants par femme est aujourd'hui tout juste de 1,1. Une statistique loin d'assurer le renouvellement des générations. Alors pour convaincre les jeunes de faire des enfants, comme dans quasiment tous les pays européens, le gouvernement cherche à relancer le désir d'enfants... Il multiplie les mesures et les projets, avec parfois une pointe d'originalité. Reportage à Vilnius, Marielle Vitureau. Entretien avec l'économiste Thibault Prébay, auteur de Démographie, la bombe tranquille (éditions du Rocher).   Minorités En Turquie, l'espoir des Kurdes. L'État turc est engagé dans un processus de paix avec le parti des travailleurs du Kurdistan, en guerre contre Ankara depuis près d'un demi-siècle. Objectif affiché : le désarmement et la dissolution du groupe. Et dans l'ensemble de la population kurde, l'espoir d'une paix retrouvée a ravivé celui d'avoir droit à une éducation en langue maternelle. Mais pour le pouvoir, cette demande reste un tabou. Reportage à Ankara, Anne Andlauer.   En Pologne, le Silésien reste dans l'ombre. C'est une langue parlée par presque un million de personnes, mais l'État polonais refuse de la reconnaitre comme une langue régionale. En février 2026, le président Karol Nawrocki a de nouveau dit non et dénié aux habitants de Silésie la reconnaissance d'une partie de leur culture, et relégué cette langue au rang de dialecte. La semaine dernière, la Prix de Nobel de littérature polonaise Olga Tokarczuk a qualifié la décision présidentielle de « scandaleuse ». À Varsovie, les explications d'Adrien Sarlat.

Gozd je ena najstarejših podob v literaturi, mitologiji, filozofiji ter drugih humanističnih vedah. Kot prostor skrivnosti, preizkušnje, samote, svobode ali stika z naravo se pojavlja že v antičnih mitih in epih, pozneje pa v srednjeveških pripovedih, pa potem v romantiki in moderni ter vedno bolj v sodobni literaturi in okoljski humanistiki. O gozdu so pisali številni avtorji, kot sta na primer Dante in Thoreau, a pomembna razmišljanja o gozdu so prispevale tudi številne filozofinje in pisateljice, kot sta na primer Robin Wall Kimmerer in Olga Tokarczuk. Te so gozd običajno razumele kot prostor spomina, identitete, skrbi za naravo in raziskovanja človekovega odnosa do drugih živih bitij. Zaradi svoje večplastnosti ostaja gozd navdih za umetnike, pisatelje, mislece in raziskovalce, ki v njem prepoznavajo tako konkreten življenjski prostor kot tudi močan simbol človekovega odnosa do narave, spomina, skupnosti in samega sebe. V to tematiko s knjigo Globoko v gozdu (UMco, 2026) vstopa tudi Irena Štaudohar, novinarka Sobotne priloge časopisa Delo. Avtorica predstavlja to delo in premišljuje še o pomenu, vlogi in simboliki gozda. Foto: detajl iz grafike na naslovnici knjige Globoko v gozdu (UMco, 2026, oblikovanje Rok Marinšek).

Olga Tokarczuk. „Jokūbo knygos“. Vertė Vyturys Jarutis, išleido Lietuvos rašytojų sąjungos leidykla.Beveik tūkstantis puslapių, kelios dešimtys siužeto linijų ir personažų – tai pritrenkiantis literatūrinis sumanymas, mistinis pasakojimas apie pačią istoriją, tautų likimus lemiančius jos vingius. Šioje knygoje autorė ne tik nepaprastai kruopščiai pristato senosios Lenkijos laikus, to meto architektūrą, aprangą, kvapus ir žmonių santykius, bet ir atskleidžia sudėtingą dvasinę tikrovę – tris vieną šalia kitos egzistavusias religijas: krikščionybę, judaizmą ir islamą. Pasakodama apie praeitį, XVIII amžių, Apšvietos išvakares, autorė ieško atsakymų į klausimus, kaip susiformavo šių dienų Rytų ir Vidurio Europos veidas. Romano ištraukas skaito aktorė Neringa Bulotaitė.

Hans en Chrétien bespreken de laatste column van Tommy Wieringa (onder meer over Olga Tokarczuk), laten hun licht schijnen over een opiniestuk van Das Mag-oprichter Toine Donk, wuiven de veel te vroeg overleden Lieke Marsman uit en kijken vooruit naar de uitreiking van de Anton Wachter-prijs. Besprekingen gaan dit keer over de net verschenen verhalenbundel ‘In mijn hoofd zwemmen vissen' (Tom Wouters) en het pas heruitgegeven en zeer controversiële verhaal ‘Babyneuker' (Urs Allemann). Luister, like en abonneer.

Heute bringen wir die sechste Folge unserer Sendereihe „Chopin in Warschau“. Diesmal besuchen wir die Heilig-Kreuz-Basilika, wo seit dem 19. Jahrhundert das Herz des Komponisten aufbewahrt wird. Warum sich Chopins Herz heute in Warschau befindet, erzählen wir Ihnen in wenigen Minuten. Doch zunächst blicken wir nach Berlin. Artur Rubinstein, Olga Tokarczuk, Witold Gombrowicz, Marian Brandys, Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński und viele andere bedeutende polnische Künstler waren auf die eine oder andere Weise mit der deutschen Hauptstadt verbunden. Doch die polnischen Spuren in Berlin beschränken sich nicht nur auf Literatur und Kunst. Mehr dazu im Infomagazin.

Šioje knygoje autorė ne tik nepaprastai kruopščiai pristato senosios Lenkijos laikus, to meto architektūrą, aprangą, kvapus ir žmonių santykius, bet ir atskleidžia sudėtingą dvasinę tikrovę – tris vieną šalia kitos egzistavusias religijas: krikščionybę, judaizmą ir islamą.

Artur Rubinstein, Olga Tokarczuk, Witold Gombrowicz, Marian Brandys, Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński und viele andere herausragende polnische Künstler waren auf die eine oder andere Weise mit der deutschen Hauptstadt verbunden. Doch die polnischen Spuren in Berlin beschränken sich nicht nur auf die Kunst.

Artur Rubinstein, Olga Tokarczuk, Witold Gombrowicz, Marian Brandys, Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński und viele andere herausragende polnische Künstler waren auf die eine oder andere Weise mit der deutschen Hauptstadt verbunden. Doch die polnischen Spuren in Berlin beschränken sich nicht nur auf die Kunst. Mit den verschiedenen polnischen Aspekten der Berliner Geschichte beschäftigt sich seit Jahren die Journalistin, Schriftstellerin und Kulturmanagerin Dorota Danielewicz. Sie ist unter anderem Autorin des Buches Auf der Suche nach der Seele Berlins sowie Mitgestalterin des Audioguides „Berlinski Tour“.

Hongrie, Allemagne, France, Turquie : chaque pays a sa stratégie pour inciter à la procréation mais le désir d'enfants ne suit pas. Reportage en Lituanie et analyse de Thibault Prébay.  Également dans cette émission, l'espoir des Kurdes pour la reconnaissance de leur langue en Turquie, et les difficultés de la Silésie à faire accepter la sienne en Pologne. Démographie La baisse de la fertilité est une réalité mondiale mais elle préoccupe particulièrement dans une Europe à la population déjà âgée. Sans le nord du continent, en Lituanie le nombre d'enfants par femme est aujourd'hui tout juste de 1,1. Une statistique loin d'assurer le renouvellement des générations. Alors pour convaincre les jeunes de faire des enfants, comme dans quasiment tous les pays européens, le gouvernement cherche à relancer le désir d'enfants... Il multiplie les mesures et les projets, avec parfois une pointe d'originalité. Reportage à Vilnius, Marielle Vitureau. Entretien avec l'économiste Thibault Prébay, auteur de Démographie, la bombe tranquille (éditions du Rocher).   Minorités En Turquie, l'espoir des Kurdes. L'État turc est engagé dans un processus de paix avec le parti des travailleurs du Kurdistan, en guerre contre Ankara depuis près d'un demi-siècle. Objectif affiché : le désarmement et la dissolution du groupe. Et dans l'ensemble de la population kurde, l'espoir d'une paix retrouvée a ravivé celui d'avoir droit à une éducation en langue maternelle. Mais pour le pouvoir, cette demande reste un tabou. Reportage à Ankara, Anne Andlauer.   En Pologne, le Silésien reste dans l'ombre. C'est une langue parlée par presque un million de personnes, mais l'État polonais refuse de la reconnaitre comme une langue régionale. En février 2026, le président Karol Nawrocki a de nouveau dit non et dénié aux habitants de Silésie la reconnaissance d'une partie de leur culture, et relégué cette langue au rang de dialecte. La semaine dernière, la Prix de Nobel de littérature polonaise Olga Tokarczuk a qualifié la décision présidentielle de « scandaleuse ». À Varsovie, les explications d'Adrien Sarlat.

Egyetemi mészárlásra készülő prágai fiatal monológját írta meg Fehér Renátó első prózai munkájában, ami pár hete jelent meg A merénylők fénykora címmel. A kisregény az egyetem bölcsészkara ellen kitervelt támadás előtti utolsó éjszakán mutatja meg, ahogy a fiatal srác gondolatai, dühe, szorongása ide-oda csapódik, egy lírai, pulzáló, sokszor felkavaró szövegfolyammá összeállva. Hogy aztán persze pár oldal után rájöjjünk, nem egyetlen, fiktív fiatal személyes tragédiáját olvassuk, hanem valami olyasmit, amihez sokkal több közünk van, mint szeretnénk. Fehér Renátó költő, szerkesztő, és egyszer már volt podcastsorozatunk vendége, amikor Olga Tokarczuk életművéről beszélgettünk vele. A tartalomból: 00:00 Pár könyv, amit említünk röviden: Üvöltő szelek és A Pendragon-legenda. 01:50 Vendégünk Fehér Renátó. És a kérdés, hogy hogyan születik meg egy merényletre készülő fiatal alakja. Tizenkét év alatt egy prágai sétaregény ötletétől jutott el idáig. És a kérdés a kötet mögött: hogyan lehet a közmegegyezésék biztonságos centrumából kilépve egy olyan nézőpontot találni, melyen keresztül korszakunk sötétségeire, sikátoraira is rá lehet látni? 08:50 Hogyan lehet egy gyökeresen más karakterben ilyen sokáig benne maradni? És a horzsolások, melyek az olvasóra várnak. És ami már nem fért bele: például egy részlet a Taxisofőr monológjából. 14:50 Hasonlóságunk a szörnyeteghez: megérteni azt a viszonyt, hogy a merénylő is egy közülünk. 20:00 Bele kell tanulnunk azokba a dilemmákba, amik a Z-generációt érik. Manosphere világa és a női szerepeket újradefiniáló újradefiniált férfi szerepek. 25:05 A társadalmi szégyen az individuális szégyenen túl. És a szégyen utáni politika korszaka, kitérve a kommentszekciók aknamezejére és Orbán elhíresült, tavaly március 15-ei beszédére. A kinevetés nem gyógyul be soha: az sem, ha engem nevetnek ki, de az sem, ha én nevetek ki másokat. 30:00 Merénylők kiáltványai, mint műfaj. Neonáci merénylőt írni túl könnyű megoldás lett volna. 35:20 Kaleidoszkóp, mint műfaj, és a szöveg, amit forgatni lehet. 40:00 Az íróasztal mint vesztőhely és az olvasás, mint kukkolás: mit is jelent olvasni 44:20 Mire jó az irodalom? Például képes lehet varázstalanítani a tragédiákat, dilemmákat, szorongásokat. Talán eggyel kevésbé fenyegető a valóság, ha egy ilyen könyv megíródik. 49:45 Irodalmi ősélmények, közművelődés szükségessége és hogy miért jó sokat, felszabadultan beszélgetni könyvekről. „Nagyon kölcsönös viszony alakulhat ki gy könyv fölött, és gondolom ezt hívjuk hazának.” 55:40 Három plusz egy könyv Fehér Renátó ajánlásában: az Imago Budapest folyóirat Szégyen száma, Veszprémi Szilveszter - Vijjogók, Rachel Kushner- A teremtés tava és Franz Kafka - Levél apámhoz. Továbbra is várjuk a könyv- és témaötleteket a facebookos csoportunkban! Addig is további könyves tartalmakért ajánljuk Anna Instagramját és Bence Nemrosszkönyvek Instagramját, ahonnan a podcast nevét is kölcsönöztük.

Co słyszysz teraz, oprócz mojego głosu? Może coś stuka, może samochody za oknem, może uderzenie kropel deszczu o szybę? Zwróć uwagę na detale – bo z detali dźwiękowych składa się coś znacznie większego niż tylko tło naszego życia.Rozmawiałam z dr. Wojciechem Siwakiem, kulturoznawcą i muzykiem z Uniwersytetu w Białymstoku, o tym czym naprawdę jest hałas, dlaczego cisza potrafi przerażać, i jak technologia zmienia naszą audiosferę – ten miksy natury i kultury, w którym żyjemy."W miarę jak hałas wzrasta, prawda maleje" – napisał Michel Serres. A Olga Tokarczuk dodaje: "Świat stał się tak głośny, że aby usłyszeć bicie własnego serca trzeba wyjechać na koniec świata". Ale czy na pewno? Może wystarczy wanna pełna wody albo chwila w lesie Zwierzynieckim?To nie jest wykład o decybelach. To rozważania o tym, jak oswajamy hałas i czy to jest dla nas w ogóle dobry kierunek? Przy okazji można sprawdzić czym jest Deep Listening Pauline Oliveros, i dlaczego jeden ze studentów powiedział:"Panie doktorze, cisza boli". Rozmawiamy też o "czyszczeniu uszu" Raymonda Murraya Schafera, o nagrywaniu pejzaży dźwiękowych, o tym jak AI tworzy muzykę i dlaczego dźwięki natury mogą być lekarstwem – albo kolejnym źródłem stresu.Jakie są twoje bezpieczne dźwięki?

I, Becca, have been going through a big life transition, and that is why this episode is so incredibly late. I will be okay though! It also kind of fits because Olga Tokarczuk's House of Day, House of Night, is all about transition and liminal spaces. Content warning: we mention breasts and vaginas (more like vaginal art).

We've all said it: “I wish I could read that again for the first time.” But what do we really mean when we say it? In this episode, Trevor and Paul explore the magic of first encounters with books. Is it about surprise? Youth? Timing? Being unprepared in the best possible way? Or is it about discovering not just a book, but a new way of reading, thinking, or feeling?Along the way, we talk about books that opened doors, books we read at exactly the right (or wrong) moment, what rereading gives us.

Fiction writer Yiming Ma joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to discuss his new novel These Memories Do Not Belong To Us. Ma, who was born in Shanghai and visited China frequently after immigrating to the U.S. and Canada, talks about how terrifyingly easy it can be to live in a society in which censorship is the default, and the dangers of self-censorship. Ma, who has an MBA, also reflects on the gap between how the tech and business worlds discuss artificial intelligence versus his peers in the arts. He explains how he developed the protagonist of his novel, a young man who struggles to decide what to do with an inheritance of forbidden memories; reflects on how his book's structure, which moves between those memories, works as a “constellation novel,” in the tradition of Olga Tokarczuk; and considers how his characters demonstrate survival as a form of resistance. He reads from These Memories Do Not Belong To Us.

This week, Scott sat down with his Lawfare colleagues Natalie Orpett, Kevin Frazier, and Tyler McBrien to talk through the week's big national security news stories, including:“Feeding Frenzy.” The crisis in Gaza has reached a new, desperate stage. Months of a near total blockade on humanitarian assistance has created an imminent risk, if not a reality, of mass starvation among Gazan civilians. And it finally has the world—including President Donald Trump—taking notice and putting pressure on the Israeli government to change tack, including by threatening to recognize a Palestinian state. Now the Israeli government appears to be giving an inch, allowing what experts maintain is the bare minimum level of aid necessary to avoid famine into the country and even pursuing a few (largely symbolic) airlifts, while allowing other states to do the same. But how meaningful is this shift? And what could it mean for the trajectory of the broader conflict?“Hey, It Beats an AI Inaction Plan.” After months of anticipation, the Trump administration finally released its “AI Action Plan” last week. And despite some serious reservations about its handling of “woke AI” and select other culture war issues, the plan has generally been met with cautious optimism. How should we feel about the AI Action Plan? And what does it tell us about the direction AI policy is headed?“Pleas and No Thank You.” Earlier this month, the D.C. Circuit upheld then-Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's decision to nullify plea deals that several of the surviving 9/11 perpetrators had struck with those prosecuting them in the military commissions. How persuasive is the court's argument? And what does the decision mean for the future of the tribunals?In object lessons, Kevin highlighted a fascinating breakthrough from University of Texas engineers who developed over 1,500 AI-designed materials that can make buildings cooler and more energy efficient—an innovation that, coming from Texas, proves that necessity really is the mother of invention. Tyler took us on a wild ride into the world of Professional Bull Riders with a piece from The Baffler exploring the sport's current state and terrifying risks. Scott brought a sobering but essential read from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace about how synthetic imagery and disinformation are shaping the Iran-Israel conflict. And Natalie recommended “Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead,” by Olga Tokarczuk, assuring us it's not nearly as murder-y as it sounds.Note: We will be on vacation next week but look forward to being back on August 13!To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
