Lorsqu'on évoque les relations avec l'Afrique du Sud, il y a toujours un petit froid qui s'installe dans la conversation, une ombre au tableau dans l'histoire suisse du XXème siècle, parce que l'apartheid a été condamné tardivement et qu'il n'a pas empêché qu'on fasse des affaires avec ce pays où le racisme d'Etat a très officiellement dominé de 1949 à 1991. Retour sur quarante ans de cette relation sulfureuse avec la plateforme indépendante geneveMonde.ch éditée par la FONSART, Fondation pour la sauvegarde et le développement du patrimoine audiovisuel de la RTS Jan Smuts est un homme d'État sud-africain, juriste et philosophe, qui défend tout à la fois la paix internationale et une vision impérialiste et raciste dans la gouvernance planétaire. Né dans la colonie du Cap britannique, il est premier ministre d'Afrique du Sud à la sortie de la Première guerre mondiale de 1919 à 1924 et pendant la Deuxième guerre mondiale. David Glaser a rencontré Thomas Gidney, chercheur postdoctoral à l'université de Genève, qui a publié sur les relations des colonies avec les grandes instances internationales comme l'ONU et son ancêtre, la Société Des Nations.

Nous poursuivons le portrait de Jan Smuts, homme d'Etat sud-africain, impérialiste et raciste convaincu, qui illustre les ambivalences de l'ordre colonial mondial à la recherche d'un équilibre mondial de paix incarné par la Société des Nations puis par l'ONU. Un équilibre étrange à nos yeux du XXIe siècle ou le racisme d'Etat cohabite avec la recherche d'un universalisme mais un universalisme hiérarchisé, où paix et progrès ne remettent pas en question les discriminations raciales. Chercheur à l'université de Genève, Thomas Gideney retrace la suite de la trajectoire politique internationale de Jan Smuts au micro de David Glaser.

The big 5-year anniversary show concludes on the Headbangers Vault as B1Bomb and the Smuts discuss some of their favorite bands and shows from the past episodes.  

In 2021, Netflix released His Dark Material, a Christmas stand-up special by Irish–British comedian Jimmy Carr. The show sparked international outrage. Toward the end of the set, Carr delivered what he called a ‘career ender' – a joke about the Holocaust, in which he described the Nazis' murder of thousands of ‘Gypsies' as a ‘positive'. The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, the Auschwitz Memorial, and the UK government condemned the joke as ‘appalling', ‘abhorrent', and ‘racist'; Carr, critics said, was trading on the ‘last acceptable form of racism'. Comedy touches every part of our lives. We tell jokes at the pub, around the dinner table, and by the office coffee machine. We all know someone who makes us laugh – and someone who seems to take things too far. But is there a line when it comes to humour? And if there is, who gets to draw it? Should we suspend our moral judgements when the lights go down and the curtain goes up? Or do jokes, like most speech acts, carry moral weight? To answer these questions, we need to understand the nature of comedy itself – what exactly it is we're responding to when we laugh. Humour might be a release of nervous tension, a playful disruption of expectations, or – more troublingly, if it applies to Carr's joke – a means of asserting social superiority. No doubt, comedy has the power to shape our culture and perceptions. But, as we'll find out, it also tells us something about who we are, who we ought to be, and the things we value most.

Joel Bergqvist restaurerar gjutjärnspannor så att de blir som nya. Och säger att man visst kan diska med diskmedel och göra tomatsås i dem. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Joel Bergqvist är kocken som ägnar mer och mer tid åt att restaurera gamla gjutjärnspannor.– Det är fantastiskt att kunna fixa nånting som är 150 år gammalt, och det blir bättre än det som produceras idag, säger han.På golvet i verkstaden står två plasttankar där restaureringen sker med hjälp av elektrolys. I karen finns en jonlösning, en elektrolyt. Pannorna sänks ned och en likström leds genom dem. Smuts, avlagringar och rost försvinner. Kvar blir rent gjutjärn.Sedan bränner Joel in pannorna med rapsolja så att de får ett skyddande skikt. Och blir som nya.Joel förklarar gjutjärnets fördelar i matlagning, hur det ska användas, och hur man ska sköta det.Och så avlivar han också några myter: inget diskmedel och inga tomatsåser. Jodå, det går utmärkt att använda diskmedel, och att koka tomatsås i gjutjärn.Många gamla gjutjärnspannor slängs. De är dåligt rengjorda och ser äckliga ut, eller de har börjat rosta.Joel bestämde sig för att rädda så många pannor som möjligt.– Gjutjärn är så mycket mer än en stekpanna. Det är en personlig historia, det är en nationell historia. Gjutjärn är i vårt blod i Sverige.– 1980-tal och hundra år bakåt, där hittar man de bästa pannorna, säger Joel.

What does the collapse of India's tea industry mean for Dalit workers who have lived, worked and died on the plantations since the colonial era? Plantation Crisis: Ruptures of Dalit life in the Indian Tea Belt (UCL Press, 2022) offers a complex understanding of how processes of social and political alienation unfold in moments of economic rupture. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in the Peermade and Munnar tea belts, Jayaseelan Raj – himself a product of the plantation system – offers a unique and richly detailed analysis of the profound, multi-dimensional sense of crisis felt by those who are at the bottom of global plantation capitalism and caste hierarchy. Tea production in India accounts for 25 per cent of global output. The colonial era planation system – and its two million strong workforce – has, since the mid-1990s, faced a series of ruptures due to neoliberal economic globalisation. In the South Indian state of Kerala, otherwise known for its labour-centric development initiatives, the Tamil speaking Dalit workforce, whose ancestors were brought to the plantations in the 19th century, are at the forefront of this crisis, which has profound impacts on their social identity and economic wellbeing. Out of the colonial history of racial capitalism and indentured migration, Plantation Crisis opens our eyes to the collapse of the plantation system and the rupturing of Dalit lives in India's tea belt.
