Podcasts about pluriverse

When dictatorial leaders use talk of peace as a smokescreen to conceal their plans for war and  destruction, what are the people to do? Believe in a vision of peace and freedom that is muscular, sturdy, and protective — and pray that it holds, as Ernesto Cardenal does in his poem “Give Ear to My Words (Psalm 5),” translated by Jonathan Cohen.Ernesto Cardenal (1925–2020) was a Catholic priest and poet who was born in Nicaragua. From 1979 to 1988, he served as the Minister of Culture there. Cardenal was the author of several volumes of poetry, including Pluriverse, Zero Hour, Apocalypse, and In Cuba.Jonathan Cohen is an award-winning translator of Latin American poetry and a scholar of inter-American literature. He has translated Ernesto Cardenal, Enrique Lihn, Pedro Mir, and Roque Dalton, among others, and his own poems and essays have been widely published. He is the author of pioneering critical works on Pablo Neruda and Muna Lee.Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org.We're pleased to offer Jonathan Cohen's translation of Ernesto Cardenal's poem and invite you to subscribe to Pádraig's weekly Poetry Unbound Substack newsletter, read the Poetry Unbound book, or listen to past episodes of the podcast.

What does it mean to belong? It is a feeling of fitting in, of participation, of joint ownership and of home. When we look at the local landscape of fashion's industry and culture in Germany, are all welcome to participate, and does the industry and mainstream culture invite plural identities? Is fashion diverse, inclusive, and equitable? This episode shares a panel from the 202030 Pop-up: Culture & Communication, which took place in Berlin on 06/02/2024, and assembled perspectives on fashion that promotes active diversity, equity, and inclusion. Beatrace Angut Oola, the founder and CEO of Fashion Africa Now, Anbid Zaman, the LGBTQ+ activist and board member at Campaign against Homophobia Germany, and Mick Morris Mehnert, actor, model, and community manager of Auf Augenhöhe Design, sit down with studio MM04's Lou Croff Blake to tell their stories of navigating identity in the fashion context, and growing communities that engender belonging. The panel collectively asks: what might German fashion do better to create Pluriverse, instead of a social monoculture? If your company wants to dive deeper into these topics, develop its DEIB approach, and enjoy a great team-building experience, consider studio MM04's DEIB workshop. We tailor a package to your team's needs and goals, ranging from 1-hour webinars to 2-day workshops.

To Jeju Island we look today as we're happy to premiere Lindamann's Pluriverse track off of the ever phenomenal Oslated imprint. The second in a series of compilations titled, Faithful Present, brings together a plethora of artists, both new and old to the label. Also noted, eagle-eyed followers will see a number of local producers which is always a bonus to support those working around you. Lindamann is one of these, as a Tokyo-based producer having prior releases on Lowless, Indefinite Pitch, Huinali and now joins the Oslated roster with Pluriverse. Linadmann's creation is a captivating deep techno track that explores a slow groove, creating a mesmerizing sense of space and rhythm. At its core, the track features a deliberate, slow-paced beat that pulsates with a sense of anticipation. On top of which the use of shakers and epic synths give a hypnotic, off-kilter quality to the track's tempo. Texture plays a crucial role in "Pluriverse," with layers of sound that ebb and flow, creating a sense of depth and complexity. As the track progresses, these textures morph and shift, providing an ever-changing sonic experience. Pluriverse, and in turn the rest of the second Faithful Present compilation will be released on October 13th. https://soundcloud.com/lindamannn https://www.instagram.com/lin_da_mann/ www.itsdelayed.com www.instagram.com/_____delayed/ www.facebook.com/itsdelayed https://soundcloud.com/oslated

We have reached the 100th episode of the podcast! For the past 100 episodes, at the end of each episode we have asked our guests the same question: What would a better future for fashion look like, to you? This question is important, because it sums up exactly why the podcast exists in the first place — to unpack exactly what it will take to cultivate a sustainable and equitable future for fashion.To celebrate this 100 episode milestone, we decided to mark the occasion by sharing a montage of some of our favorite answers, from guests we have had on the show, over the years. Plus, we are sharing a few listener answers to this question too. And, right at the end, we'll share our reflections on the topic as well. Enjoy listening to these visionary — yet practical — answers. Hopefully they'll give you some food for thought and reflection points for your own relationship with fashion.

On this episode of Frontiers of Coordination Peth welcomes artist, philosopher and researcher Travis Wyche. After a couple of years in the Web3 space he considers himself a more culturally focused contributor rather than a technical person even when he spends part of his time doing a variety of research on UXs and developing UI design. The fact is that the interweaving of his skills and interests led to Pluriverse, a transmedia lorecrafting experiment in collective imagineering. Screaming at punk shows was his first approach to the Moloch meme. Later in life when he entered Web3 he would connect it to Allen Ginsberg's poem Howl, an event that in a way funneled him down a rabbit hole of connecting these cultural influences with the technical game theory of coordination. That is what attracted him to the space in the first place: “I'm not really a Degen; I didn't get drawn into crypto through DeFi or anything like that, through the tokens really at all, but more of the high level philosophy, politics, the various kinds of connections to things in my own background as an artist, as a musician, as a community organizer, as an anarchist, as an aging punk. All those kinds of cultural affinities are what brought me in”. It's from that perspective that he appreciates the meaning of the Moloch meme, known as the god of coordination failure while also associated with child sacrifice among other things. For him,it's an image that serves as a “memetic filter” for people to understand the potency that image creates for a “community first” kind of orientation.  Some of the topics: His origins in the space The rise and fall of the Moloch meme Moloch memetic filter Individual mindshift for successful coordination WTF is Pluriverse Pluriverse current projects Genres, themes and characters in Pluriverse Regen in the space Regen beyond crypto MetaCrisis Intentional communities A.I.

In this episode, Hita and Michael speak with noted Indian environmentalist Ashish Kothari, who works at the interface between development and environment and focuses particularly on radical alternatives to development discourses. Ashish is a familiar name to people working in the Indian environmental context as well as those who engage with degrowth, not least because of his strong involvement in grassroots environmental movements such as the Narmada Bachao Andolan in the country. He is one of founders of Kalpavriksh, a Non-Profit Organisation in India which deals with environmental and development issues. In addition, he wears many other hats – as an academic and teacher, as a member of international steering committees such as those of the World Commission on Protected Areas or the Convention on Biodiversity Alliance. He has also worked as a member of several Government of India committees including those responsible for assessing India's Forest Rights Act and drafting the country's National Wildlife Action Plan and Biodiversity Act. He is also the coordinator of Vikalp Sangam, a platform that brings together organisations and individuals who work on development alternatives across India. He is also one of the editors of the book Pluriverse: a post development dictionary. In our conversation Ashish reflects upon the influence of his early childhood experiences with environmental activism – particularly protests against the shooting of the Great Indian Bustard by Saudi Arabian Princes and against tree felling in the Delhi Ridge Forest upon his engagement with environmental conservation. He asks the pertinent question: can wildlife conservation happen at the cost of human rights? We speak about the eternal debate of development vs the environment, and his conviction that the idea of development per se itself is deeply flawed. Instead, he says, what we need are different notions of well-being emerging from different parts of the world serving to replace the idea of development. We spoke about the dangers of viewing community led action as yet another panacea but also recognising the inherent strength present within them. We discuss moving beyond dichotomies of community vs government instead looking towards alternatives where we can enable communities to regain their balance in different ways. We reflect upon the importance of building and being part of networks that both keep you going but also stand ready to continue in your place, and how that very act of working together poses further challenges if one were to consider identity building, branding or even issues of satisfying personal egos. We end with some reflection on Ashish's conceptualization of the term Eco Swarajya and the challenges associated with misappropriation of culturally or spiritually loaded terms.

Who doesn't want this... To come up with smart solutions for relevant challenges that are immediately embraced by the end-users. Well, in this week's episode of the Show, Victor Udoewa shares a radical approach to the design process that increases the chance you'll actually accomplish this. But first, let's quickly look at why solutions don't get adopted. It's often not due to bad intentions. Many times it has to do with the fact that a wrong judgment call has been made about what's important. Because as a design professional, you're -implicitly- imposing your ideas, values, and norms onto the process. You are in a strong position of power, whether you like it or not. The problem is that this leads to solutions derived from a single -often mainstream- worldview. Again, this isn't something that professionals set out to do. It happens because of the nature of the current design process. So is there something we can do about this? According to Victor, there is! We, starting with the design professional, have to give up power. The community and the users must lead the design process, from start to end, from top to bottom. But can this truly be done, or is it just wishful thinking? And is there still a role for the professional designer when this happens? Victor has a thing or two to say about these and some other key questions. So if you'd also like to work on more meaningful challenges and come to more impactful solutions, click the link below and soak in this inspiring conversation. It's great to get people on the Show who challenge our common design practices like Victor. And to be able to share these stories with you. Enjoy the conversation and keep making a positive impact :) --- [ GUIDE ] --- 00:00 Welcome to episode 154 04:45 Who is Victor 05:30 Lightning round 08:45 The episode take-away 09:45 What is radical participatory design 15:15 Victor's journey 19:15 The benefits 24:00 Barriers to adoption 27:15 The response from the design community 31:45 The role of the design professional 37:45 Where does it start 41:45 The tensions 45:45 What are good challenges 52:45 The evolution 55:45 Taking the first step 1:01:45 A smart hack 1:02:45 What awaits you 1:05:15 Closing thoughts --- [ LINKS ] --- https://www.linkedin.com/in/udoewa/ Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples - https://amzn.to/3yHlYht Research Is Ceremony: Indigenous Research Methods - https://amzn.to/3ObjtcZ Sand Talk - https://amzn.to/3O4Linp Indigenous Research Methodologies - https://amzn.to/3P6NwEh Applying Indigenous Research Methods: Storying with Peoples and Communities - https://amzn.to/3PcgJxt --- [ BOOKS ] --- Designs for the Pluriverse - https://amzn.to/3P7pDMK Stand Your Ground - https://amzn.to/3RvkvDN Fledgling (fiction, Afrofuturism) - https://amzn.to/3AKbsc9 Art of Gathering - https://amzn.to/3IJum4P Black Futures - https://amzn.to/3AWw4Oe Latinx Rising (An anthology) - https://amzn.to/3uLxs2q A Promised Land - https://amzn.to/3PnjDPC His Name Is George Floyd - https://amzn.to/3yGi1cV Soul of a Woman - https://amzn.to/3IBUtdP The Sum of Us - https://amzn.to/3PrGLMV Thinking in Systems - https://amzn.to/3nZoCdN The Bennet Women (fiction) - https://amzn.to/3P908um --- [ HOW TO EXPLAIN SERVICE DESIGN ] --- Learn what it takes to get your clients, colleagues, managers, CEOs and even grandmas as excited about service design as you are. https://servicedesignshow.com/free-course

Second year MDes Candidates and First year PhD Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) created audios in an exquisite corpse fashion (a technique used by surrealists painters where they would draw on a sheet of paper, fold it to conceal part of the drawing, and then pass it to the next painter to build on the previous contribution). These audios are a reflective and exploratory exercise in the intersection of the Pluriverse and Design based on the texts of Marisol de la Cadena and Mario Blaser introduction of the book "A World of Many Worlds" where each team member recorded a 1 min reflection about what it means for them or what are the implications of designing in and for the pluriverse. This work was done during the seminar in Design Theory and Practice / Advanced Interaction and Service Design Concepts, Fall 2020 in CMU taught by Marysol Ortega Pallanez and Dr. Dan Lockton. Audio production by June Seo (Thomas) Youn. Marysol Ortega, Alex Polzin, and Nandini Nair crafted the English commentary. The production of this podcast was carried out with the support of the School of Design at Carnegie Mellon University.

This month we talked with Yafa El Masri, who is getting a doctorate in Geography in a joint research program between the University of Padova, University of Venice, and University of Verona. She was also a visiting researcher at the Global Development Studies Unit at the Social Sciences Faculty of the University of Helsinki. Yafa is also a stateless Palestinian refugee who was born and raised in refugee camps in Lebanon. She does autoethnographic research on solidarity among refugees in refugees camps. She has worked extensively with grassroots organizations and development projects within her community. Growth centered development has been very devastating to life on our planet, including the erosion of solidarity in favor of individualism. Solidarity is a social norm wherein one acts in the interest of others, even if sometimes that may contradict your own best interest. One acts in the benefit of the community even if each individual has fewer resources for their own use. Maybe it is solidarity that is the missing ingredient to save to the world in the face of our multiple concurrent crises. Yafa has found that solidarity is alive and well in the refugee community and that the refugee community can teach the world a lot about how to practice solidarity.

Episode recorded Nov, 2020. In this episode, I talk to Fernando Luiz Lara, who works on theorizing spaces of the Americas with emphasis on the dissemination of architecture and planning ideas beyond the traditional disciplinary boundaries. In his several articles, Prof. Lara has discussed the modern and the contemporary architecture of our continent, its meaning, context, and social-economic insertion. In this episode, we talk about our education as Latin American architects in the cannon, how we decolonized it and got into decolonization perspectives for our work. We talked about the need for a new and different set of values on which to analyze architectural Latin American architecture, and not by comparing them to American or European standards. We commented on how teaching decoloniality is still in the margins of academia. We had an interesting conversation on Fernando's article American Mirror: the Occupation of the “New World” and the Rise of Architecture as We Know it. And we talked about the future of education, podcasts, youtube channels, electronic media, etc. Books mentioned in the conversation.
