The word “revolution” conjures powerful imagery. But what does it mean today? Do revolutions neatly promote the will of the people, forging radical transformation? Or is it more complicated? Sociologist Volodymyr Ishchenko joins us from Freie Universität Berlin to explain his take on “deficient revolutions” as he reflects on the 2014 Euromaidan uprising and recent events in Ukraine – where, he argues, conflict with roots in class has become polarised along “ethnic” lines, with devastating consequences.Ukraine, he shows, is not an anomalous case on the periphery of Europe and the former USSR. Rather, its story is instructive for the study of global processes, including the “crisis of hegemony” – one he describes in terms of the “shellness” of politics, and which is in fact often compounded by contemporary revolutions. “People want their say”, Volodymyr explains. “They can overthrow the governments. But they cannot bring about the change that would represent their interests”.An urgent discussion about decolonisation and discourse, progress, popular mobilisation and imagining alternative futures. With reflection on Soviet-era sci-fi authors, the Strugatsky brothers – and on sociologists' duty to highlight complex, messy realities.Guest: Volodymyr Ishchenko; Hosts: Rosie Hancock, Alexis Hieu Truong; Executive Producer: Alice Bloch; Sound Engineer: David Crackles; Music: Joe Gardner; Artwork: Erin AnikerFind more about Uncommon SenseEpisode ResourcesBy Volodymyr IshchenkoTowards The Abyss: Ukraine from Maidan to WarUkrainian Voices?Class or regional cleavage?

Red Schuhart is a stalker, one of the young rebels who venture illegally into the Zone, one of six areas on Earth that have been profoundly changed by the visitation of aliens to Earth. But when he and his friend Kirill go into the Zone together to pick up a “full empty,” something goes wrong. And despite the danger, the news he gets from his girlfriend upon his return makes it inevitable that he'll keep going back to the Zone, again and again, until he finds the answers he's been looking for. Join the Hugonauts book club on discord!Or you can watch the episode on YouTube if you prefer videoSimilar books we recommend: Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C.

Ben Luke talks to Mike Nelson about his influences—from the worlds of literature, film, music and, of course, art—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Nelson, born in 1967 in Loughborough in the UK, is one of the most significant British sculptors and installation artists of this century. He has spent the past three decades assembling materials gathered in junkyards, flea markets, online auctions, even street-corner fly tips into often labyrinthine sculptural environments. He creates distinctive spaces that suggest fictional (and often science-fictional) narratives, while alluding to diverse histories, obscure countercultural or political movements and current affairs as well as his own biography. He discusses the early influence of Graham Sutherland and Francis Bacon, his elation at discovering the work of Paul Thek, how fiction—and science-fiction writers like Stanislaw Lem, J.G. Ballard and the Strugatsky brothers—liberated his approach to art making, and the enduring influence of film-makers including Jean-Luc Godard and Sergei Parajanov.Mike Nelson: Extinction Beckons, Hayward Gallery, London, until 7 May. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Yaroslav Orlov, born in USSR. Youngest one in the family of three. Raised on science fiction like Strugatsky's novels and poetry. Grew up through infamous Moscow of 90s. Was good in sports, but sport wasn't good at that time. When the chaos and dust came down changed to private school, which navigated to more of western educational approach. Studied to become manager or entrepreneur, but fell in love with movies, dreamed to be a director and actor, so decided to enter career in advertising - for being closer to production routine and fast raw creative process. After 25 years in the business still there on the CD posotion, but with tonnes of experience in concept development, ideas creation, production and filming. The great believer in Language, which plays fundamental role in human evolution, how and why we think the way we do, how we communicate and why we disagree. Etc.

In this week's Patron's Choice episode, Paris & Chris discover how little they know about the former soviet union and how their American cultural upbringing did not prepare them to appreciate books that are heavily steeped in U.S.S.R. culture. Our Patron Anna actually mailed us this book and requested that we do an episode on it. It's pretty incredible to get books mailed to us; thanks so much for your generosity and for being a TBC Patron, Anna! Content Warnings: In addition to our usual barnyard language, this episode includes discussion of: antisemitic descriptions and existential/clone issues.

For May Day we read Soviet era novel, Roadside Picnic, by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. It’s a bleak look at utopia, the utterly alien nature of aliens, and the insignificance of humans. We disagree about the end of the novel and leave it up to you, dear listener, to decide the true meaning. The post May Day Ex-Strugatsky-ganza appeared first on Androids and Assets.

It’s been a while since I read anything other than my students and my own writing. When returning to the hobby, not many books came to mind. Luckily, the one I chose was exactly what I needed. A grim atmosphere made harsh and interesting with the inclusion of sinister scientific anomalies; the Strugatsky brothers did not disappoint. With that said, welcome to my disorganised and somewhat biased review on Roadside Picnic!

What if all we knew about alien culture was their garbage? Or is it their garbage? The Strugatsky brothers' most famous novel is about a world where stalkers crawl through hazardous Zones for precious artifacts. Also it's about hope, bureaucracy, and our relationship to the unknown.Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.

Our fourteenth episode in which we watch and review the Russian cult classic Stalker, directed by Andrei Tarkovsky and based on the novel Roadside Picnic by the Strugatsky brothers. The premise is simple - the film takes place in the "Zone"; in the distant future, society as we know it has been destroyed, and the protagonist, known as the "Stalker" is leading a professor and a writer to the "Room", a place supposedly where the wishes of whoever enters it are granted. We discuss the filmmaking, themes and motifs and give our own analysis of what the film means to us. We didn't have any submissions this week, but if you're a creator and want to have your work reviewed, message us!

Get ready for the FIRST EVER CROSSOVER EPISODE! We joined forces with Reading Envy to discuss a book and movie. Jenny Colvin, the host of Reading Envy, is a total bad-ass. She read over 300 books last year, and she is one of the most intelligent podcasters I know. I thoroughly enjoy her podcast (if you're New Years Resolution is to read more, check out her "Best of 2017" for book suggestions). We discussed the book ROADSIDE PICNIC by the Strugatsky brothers, and the Tarkovsky slow-film classic STALKER. We discuss the similarities and differences between the source material and the adaptation, as well as some of the things we liked (and didn't like). Jenny and I also discuss Infinite Jest, some of her favorite books of the year, a famous littering scene from the show MAD MEN, and finally my friend's deepest fear.

In this episode the Tank team discusses Magic: The Gathering, Blade Runner 2049, Las Vegas and Utah Vacations and Violence, Vietnam by Ken Burns, Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer, Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky (Suggested English translation by Olena Bormashenko), Tarkovsky, Contest Winners, Walter Becker, musical room-mates, Monty Hall and his Problem, Hugh Hefner, and Jerry Mathers as the Beaver.

Special Guest: Geoff DyerGuest Co-Hosts: Elric Kane.

Based loosely on Roadside Picnic by Boris and Arkadiy Strugatskiy, the film becomes a meditative experience about art, religion, and logic.Elric Kane and Joe Yanick join Mike to discuss this unusual "science fiction" film.Buy Stalker on DVDBuy Roadside Picnic by Arkady Strugatsky and Boris StrugatskyBuy Zona: A Book About a Film About a Journey to a Room by Geoff DyerBuy Roadside Picnic, read by Robert ForsterVisit the official Geoff Dyer website
