In deze eerste aflevering van seizoen 2 onderzoeken we de rol van angst, in onze omgang met elkaar, in de politiek, in de geschiedenis. Wat voor rol speelt angst in ons leven en in de samenleving van vandaag? Met Polder in de fik proberen we vat te krijgen op de actualiteit, waarvan het lijkt alsof niets meer is zoals het was. Klimaatverandering, migratie, oorlog, polarisatie: ze brengen veel onzekerheid met zich mee. Angst voor de toekomst, wantrouwen ten opzichte van de overheid, spanningen tussen bevolkingsgroepen. Grote problemen hebben gevolgen voor dagelijkse verhoudingen – ook in Nederland. In de eerste reeks van Polder in de fik stond de vraag: ‘hoe veilig is Nederland?' centraal. In de tweede reeks stellen we ons de vraag: ‘waarom zijn we zo bang?' Er is veel onvrede en onbehagen, maar waarom eigenlijk en waarvoor dan? In het eerste seizoen van deze podcast constateerden we dat veiligheid alleen te definiëren is aan de hand van de inbreuken erop. Wanneer zijn we echt veilig? Er kan altijd iets gebeuren. Veiligheid is dan ook eerst en vooral een gevoel, een emotie die alles te maken heeft met angst. Of beter: de afwezigheid van angst.  In zes afleveringen verkennen we concrete zorgen en belichten die vanuit verschillende hoeken, zoals klimaat, drugs, corruptie, anti-woke, vreemdelingen en dergelijke. En we onderzoeken wat angst eigenlijk is.   Nadere toelichting Freedom of fear is een van de vier vrijheden die president Rooseveldt in 1948 proclameerde en die ten grondslag liggen aan de Verklaring voor de Rechten van de Mens van de VN (naast vrijheid van meningsuiting, godsdienst en gebrek). Het lijkt nogal veel gevraagd, angst is immers een existentieel gegeven. Maar hij doelde op de maatschappelijke context (c.q. de staat) die beschermend moet zijn voor iedere burger. Als dat niet op een geloofwaardige manier wordt gerealiseerd, dan is er van alles mogelijk. Angst is hoe dan ook altijd realiteit voor degene die er last van heeft. Maar angst kan wel degelijk aangewakkerd worden of afgezwakt. Angst kan nuttig zijn, maar tegelijk een hel als er niet aan te ontkomen valt. Angst doet je vluchten, vechten of kan je verlammen. Slachtoffers van langdurig misbruik, bijvoorbeeld in de katholieke kerk, kunnen levenslange trauma's overhouden aan ‘de angst voor de volgende keer'. Om deze ambivalentie rond angst te plaatsen besteden we aandacht aan de functie van angst en de maatschappelijke betekenis ervan. Robert Peckham publiceerde in 2023 ‘een wereldgeschiedenis' vanuit het inzicht dat angst de motor is van veel maatschappelijke ontwikkelingen (Fear. An Alternative History of the World). Angst ligt ten grondslag aan dictatuur en aan revoluties. Het is het emotionele vehikel voor onderdrukking, en kan leiden tot emancipatie. Dat maakt angst - als een van de meest basale emoties – bijzonder geschikt voor manipulatie: door de politiek, de media en in onderlinge verhoudingen. Het is niet overdreven om te stellen dat onze tijd bol staat van de angst en de onzekerheid. Er is een directe relatie met de veiligheidsobsessie van de afgelopen decennia. Denk aan het werk van Zygmunt Bauman (Liquid fear) en Frank Furedi (Culture of fear). Zij wijzen op een paradoxaal effect: hoe meer veiligheid, hoe groter de angst.   Over de makers Hans Boutellier (1953) is een vooraanstaande Nederlandse wetenschapper op het gebied van veiligheid, criminaliteit en sociale orde. Hij heeft een indrukwekkende carrière opgebouwd als hoogleraar, directeur en adviseur, en heeft veel gepubliceerd over belangrijke maatschappelijke onderwerpen. Hij werd benoemd tot Officier in de Orde van Oranje-Nassau vanwege zijn bijdrage aan maatschappij, beleid en wetenschap. Yarin Eski (1985) is universitair hoofddocent bestuurskunde en co-director van het Resilience, Security & Civil Unrest (ReSCU) Research and Innovation lab van de Vrije Universiteit (VU) Amsterdam. Voordat hij naar de VU kwam, was hij senior lecturer aan de Liverpool John Moores University. Hij behaalde zijn PhD in 2015 aan de University of Glasgow en is een Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Mirthe van der Drift (1993) is socioloog en programmamaker. Ze presenteert radioprogramma's over actualiteit, wetenschap, kunst en cultuur. Daarnaast maakt ze vanuit een radiobus reportages in binnen en buitenland over persoonlijke verhalen bij het nieuws. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the Romans to 9/11, fear has been used to influence our political landscape. But, what makes fear so potent and how does it continue to shape the world? Alex Andreou speaks to Robert Peckham, author of Fear: An Alternative History of the World, to find out if we can ever move beyond horror politics.  “Fear has been weaponized throughout history since records began.” – Robert Peckham “Fear can be used motivationally and can quickly turn into stigmatising politics.” – Robert Peckham “Liberalism became fearful. Instead of espousing a positive future, it turned defensive.” – Robert Peckham BOOK LINK https://profilebooks.com/work/fear/ www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and presented by Alex Andreou.

Fear is what keeps us alive but it can also be destructive and divisive. In his new book Fear: An Alternative History of the World, historian Robert Peckham looks at the role fear has played across major events in history, including the Covid pandemic.

Anyone who follows the news cycle knows that between conflict and pandemics, the looming threat of the climate crisis, powerful AI and not to mention political scaremongering and moral panics, we're never short of things to feel fearful of. Cultural historian Robert Peckham's recent book is: Fear: An Alternative History of the World. In it, he argues that fear is one of the main driving forces of human history, while also tracing the politics of fear from the outbreak of bubonic plague in the 14th century to the covid-19 pandemic today. Peckham was previously Professor of History and MB Lee Endowed Professor in the Humanities and Medicine at the University of Hong Kong. He's also the founder of Open Cube, an organisation that promotes the integration of the arts, science, and technology for health. Joining him in conversation is Sophie McBain, associate editor of the New Statesman, and an award-winning writer whose work often focuses on the intersection where fields such as psychology, science and society's less explored narratives meet.  We'd love to hear your feedback and what you think we should talk about next.

With the climate crisis, war in Ukraine, a recent pandemic and the rise of AI, it can feel like there is more to be fearful of today than ever before. But according to historian Robert Peckham, human society has always been shaped by fear – and not always in the ways you might expect. Speaking to Ellie Cawthorne, Robert reveals how fear has been a force for both good and ill, from the Black Death and colonisation to the abolition movement and 19th-century concerns about technology.

The twelve chapters of Moral Foods: The Construction of Nutrition and Health in Modern Asia (U Hawai'i Press, 2020) are divided into three sections: Good Foods, Bad Foods, and Moral Foods. Using case studies from nineteenth- and twentieth-century China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, and Malaysia, these chapters investigate the moralization of food in modern Asia. These studies on moral food regimes are highly specific, but their implications, especially about the malleability of food as an object of moralization, are far reaching. The first chapter in Good Foods, by Francesca Bray, examines the construction of rice as a symbol of self in Japan and Malaysia. Jia-Chen Fu's contribution looks at the “goodness” of soymilk in China. Izumi Nakayama's work is about the emergence of breastmilk as a “good food” in Meiji-period Japan. Finally, Michael Liu writes about Chinese experimentation with nutrition during WWII. David Arnold's chapter on moral foods―especially rice―in India during the period of British colonial rule begins the second section on “bad” and even “dangerous” foods. The other three chapters in this section address bad foods in South Korea, Japan, and Hong Kong, respectively. Tae-Ho Kim looks at discourses on rice, barley, and wheat in modern South Korea. Tatsuya Mitsuda writes on the creation of badness around sweet confections in Japan. Finally, Robert Peckham examines bad foods in the context of British colonial public health programs in Hong Kong. In the final section, Lawrence Zhang shows how changing visions of the health and morality of tea track with geopolitical, cultural, and scientific developments in the modern relations between East Asia and the West. Angela Ki Che Leung's looks at the modern reinterpretation of vegetarianism in China. Volker Scheid also looks at China, specifically at the reconstitution of traditional Chinese medicinal knowledge and practice. Finally, Hilary Smith's chapter tackles the moral meanings that accrued to milk in modern China. Each of these chapters shares the volume's overall interest in both the moral regimes of food in the context of modern nation-building and the bodies and lives of consumers.

Robert Peckham’s Epidemics in Modern Asia (Cambridge University Press, 2016) explores the crucial yet under-explored role that epidemics have played in both colonial and postcolonial Asia. At once broad in sweep and nuanced in analysis, Peckham’s work explores a series of world-changing disease outbreaks across from the eighteenth century through the present. Organized around five themes (Mobility, Cities, Environment, War, and Globalization), the book looks at the interrelationship between disease and human society at both the particular and hemispheric level. In doing so, the book challenges old assumptions about Asia as a pre-modern hotspot and site of contamination, as well as the narrative of triumphant progress of western medicine east. Instead, Peckham examines how disease, infection, and epidemic are translated across divides of culture and power in both the colonial and postcolonial periods. This innovative study is an essential read for a number of audiences. Whether readers are interested in the lasting impacts of intersections between colonial and indigenous peoples, the history of world capitalism and trade, the development of bureaucratic structures and government power, and/or the demographic and environmental impacts of the rise of the modern world, Epidemics in Modern Asia presents a powerful revisionist interpretation, bringing the history of epidemics to the center of the frame. Robert Peckham is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Hong Kong, where he also serves as Director of the Centre for the Humanities and Medicine. He had edited two previous volumes, Empires of Panic: Epidemics and Colonial Anxieties (Hong Kong: University Press, 2014) and Disease and Crime: A History of Social Pathologies and the New Politics of Health (New York: Routledge: 2014). He also is co-editer, with David M. Pomfret, of Imperial Contagions: Medicine, Hygiene, and Cultures of Planning in Asia (Hong Kong: University of Hong Kong Press, 2014), as well as the author of a rich body of articles on Asian history and the history of medicine.
