Podcast appearances and mentions of Svetlana Alexievich

por Yaiza Santos Llegó encendido. ¡A ver si va a ser el único entre los españoles, seres de luz, que no va a poder permitirse una metáfora! Hay una señora registradora de la propiedad y exministra inane que, siendo en buena medida responsable del cero absoluto, ha aparecido tres días después de lo que debía, diciendo además que tenemos el mejor sistema eléctrico del mundo. Es siniestra, observó, la analogía con aquella otra gran crisis que fue el covid, cuando decían que teníamos el mejor sistema sanitario del mundo. Tiene perfectamente detectado el mecanismo del discurso político del presidente, del que está convencido no responde a un plan preestablecido, sino que sigue su instinto, que es su principal cualidad. Primero, adula al pueblo y, una vez bien asentada esa idea, busca un culpable ajeno, el que sea, esta vez los operadores privados y la energía nuclear. Bullshit. Él tuvo la suerte, muy pronto el lunes, de entender lo que había ocurrido, gracias al artículo de Shellenberger que le envió su amigo Ramón Arcusa: hay una excesiva preponderancia de las renovables en España y una atenuación imprudente de otras formas de energía, sustancialmente la nuclear. La aversión hacia esta fuente, dijo, no obedece a un problema técnico sino a un problema cultural, y se basa puramente en pseudociencia y distopía cinematográfica.. Por lo demás, se preguntó con gravedad si las tres crisis –covid, dana y apagón– que ha tenido que enfrentar Sánchez –un hombre muy desgraciado, se condolió– no tendrá que ver con algo profundo en nuestras élites ante lo que incluso la oposición permanece indolente. Una sola de las nefastas respuestas a estos serios y grandes problemas, no digamos una sola de las minucias parroquiales que acosan al presidente, habrían bastado para hacer caer el gobierno en un país normal. ¿En qué está pensando Feijóo? ¿Hay esperanza de renovación con independencia de que gane un día las elecciones por mera putrefacción del contingente? Comentó un burning paper que muestra el prejuicio positivo hacia la moral de las mujeres y recitó con unción enorme «Esencia del tiempo». Y fue así que Espada yiró.

Hoewel er in de jaren negentig nog hoop bestond voor een vanzelfsprekende groei van democratische en vrije regeringen, stelt Freedom House in hun rapport van 2024 dat dit het 18e jaar op rij is waarin vrijheid en democratie zijn afgezwakte. Hoewel 2024 een recordjaar is wat betreft de hoeveelheid stemmers over de hele wereld, maar worden veel van deze verkiezingen “schijnverkiezingen” genoemd. Autoritaire regimes worden sterker en werken meer samen, en democratische waarden worden uitgehold in landen over de hele wereld, zoals de VS, Hongarije, India en Argentinië. In veel landen woedt er een strijd om democratische rechten, ook als overheden strenger optreden tegen protesten. Rusland is een belangrijk voorbeeld van een staat waarin vrijheden steeds verder worden ingeperkt. De uitholling van onafhankelijke verslaggeving, de onderdrukking van kritiek op de oorlog en de grote hoeveelheid staatspropaganda zijn hier voorbeelden van. De dood van Alexander Navalny, de belangrijkste oppositieleider, was een nieuw dieptepunt in de onderdrukking van andere geluiden in de Russische samenleving. De schijnverkiezing van 16 en 17 maart werd breed bekritiseerd, maar vanwege draconische maatregelen vanuit het Kremlin was er geen mogelijkheid tot demonstraties of een roep om verandering, waardoor Vladimir Poetin zoals voorspeld zijn overwinning uitriep. Is het nog mogelijk om verzet te bieden in een autoritaire staat als Rusland? Wat zijn de processen die verzet mogelijk en onmogelijk maken? Is de situatie in Rusland uniek of vergelijkbaar met andere autoritaire landen? Te gast is Dominique, met een master in Russian Studies. Verwijzingen Intro The Freedom House.

This week on Colombia Calling, Emily Hart is joined by María Fitzgerald – brilliant human rights journalist, writer, and Gender Editor at outlet Cambio. Her new book, Los Nombres que Olvidamos (The Names We Forgot), collects chronically under-told and even hidden stories of Colombia's everyday and normalised violence. It also serves as a statement against depersonalised writing, against the myopic focus of the mainstream news agenda, and as a call for better, more personal, and more humanising ways to narrate the country's conflict (and indeed conflicts) and to foreground women's bravery and action in the face of it. We'll be talking about women in conflict, social justice, and journalism via armed groups, the paro national, illegal mining, and more - as well as the female journalists who inspire us, from Svetlana Alexievich to Joan Didion.

Chair: Louise Adler / Translator: Elena Mikhailik Svetlana Alexievich, the 2015 Nobel Laureate, has been credited with the invention of a new literary genre: a “novel of voices“, a documentary prose in which individuals record their own personal and political histories. If Alexievich is writing “a history of the soul“, it's a soul that is forged in crisis – be it the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, the Soviet war in Afghanistan or the collapse of the USSR. In 2018, she was awarded the Anna Politkovskaya Award from RAW in WAR, an organisation founded by human rights leader Mariana Katzarova. In this conversation, they discuss the imperative to document truth. Event details: Sat 04 Mar, 9:30am on the East Stage

Análisis Con Alexis Ortiz. Eps #36 El Premio Nobel de Literatura es uno de los galardones más prestigiosos del mundo dedicados a las letras, siendo uno de los cinco premios originales que Alfred Nobel consignó para que la Academia Sueca otorgara como parte de su legado. El mismo se concede a un autor cuya obra haya sido significativa y destacada y su dotación asciende a los ocho millones de coronas suecas, algo menos de un millón de euros. Su importancia mediática hace que su entrega anual, el primer jueves de octubre, se convierta en uno de los momentos más importantes del calendario literario.  A lo largo de la historia del premio, que se inició en 1901 con Sully Prudhomme, han sido galardonados autores como Rudyard Kipling, Rabindranath Tagore, Jacinto Benavente, W. B. Yeats, G.B. Shaw, Luigi Piandello, Pearl S. Buck, Herman Hesse, T.S. Eliot, Faulkner, entre otros grandes clásicos de la literatura. Bob Dylan, siendo cantante, ha sido el ganador del premio Nobel de Literatura en su edición de 2016. Los premios anteriores habían recaído en personalidades tan conocidas como Svetlana Alexievich, Patrick Modiano, el autor, político y ensayista peruano, Mario Vargas Llosa, Mo Ya o la canadiense Alice Munro. El poeta y escritor mexicano, Octavio Paz está considerado como uno de los más grandes autores del siglo XX, ganador del Premio Nobel de literatura en 1990. Otro de los nuestros, autor colombiano, Gabriel García Márquez, destacó, sin duda como uno de los más grandes narradores de la literatura del siglo XX, y recibió el galardón más importante de su carrera en 1982. Así mismo aconteció en 1971 el Poeta chileno, Pablo Neruda. En 1967 el Escritor guatemalteco, Migue Ángel Asturias recibió el Premio Nobel de Literatura. Poeta chilena, Gabriela Mistral, llegó a ser galardonada en 1945.   Edición y Montaje: Jesús Carreño   Voice Over: Jessika C. #literatura #premionobel #premionobeldeliteratura Podcast recorded at: Nmmiami Studio. nmmiami.com @nmmiamiradio Para más información: anexostudio@gmail.com / nmmiamiradioonline@gmail.com Doral, FL 33166

Starting out as a journalist, she developed her own nonfiction genre, which gathers a chorus of voices to describe a specific historical moment. Her works include War's Unwomanly Face (1985), Last Witnesses (1985), Zinky Boys (1990), Voices from Chernobyl (1997), and Secondhand Time (2013). She has won many international awards, including the 2015 Nobel Prize in Literature “for her polyphonic writings, a monument to suffering and courage in our time.”From https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/339/svetlana-alexievich. For more information about Svetlana Alexievich:Secondhand Time: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/541184/secondhand-time-by-svetlana-alexievich/“Suitcase Full of Candy: An Interview with Svetlana Alexievich”: https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2017/10/16/suitcase-full-candy-interview-svetlana-alexievich/“‘We Will Live in a Completely Different World': A Conversation with Svetlana Alexievich”: https://www.thenation.com/article/culture/svetlana-alexievich-lukashenko-belarus/

"Es imposible tener un corazón para el odio y otro para el amor. El ser humano tiene un solo corazón, y yo siempre pensaba en cómo salvar el mío". Svetlana Alexievich

“When women speak of war they say nothing or almost nothing of what we are used to reading and hearing about”. These words, by Nobel-Prize-winning writer Svetlana Alexievich inspired acclaimed writer and cultural historian Maria Tumarkin to create an extraordinary multi-disciplinary event called “When Women Speak of War: Artists reckon With Wars Declared and Hidden”, which will have its world premiere on Thursday 28 April at the National Theatre in Melbourne. The performance will feature Ukrainian-born writers, musicians and performers alongside a diverse line-up of brilliant artists. The aim, Maria says, is “To stir up, honour, cliché-bust and transport.” Conceived before the war in Ukraine as part of the Festival of Jewish Art and Music (FOJAM) to mark Holocaust Remembrance Day, the performance takes on particular resonance in light of the war in Maria’s beloved homeland. Part of the proceeds of ticket sales will go to the Ukrainian Humanitarian Relief Fund. There are still ticket available, or you can sign up to watch online – here is the link https://www.fojam.com/ SHOW NOTES: Nicole Abadee Website: https://www.nicoleabadee.com.au Facebook: @booksbooksbookspodcast OR @nicole.abadee Twitter: @NicoleAbadee Instagram: @booksbooksbookspodcast OR @nicoleabadee Festival of Jewish Art and Music (FOJAM) Website: https://www.fojam.com Twitter: @FojamMelbourne Facebook: @fojammelbourne Instagram: @fojammelbourne Maria Tumarkin Website: http://www.mariatumarkin.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Nobel Prize–winning writer Svetlana Alexievich wrote that when women speak of war, ‘they say nothing or almost nothing of what we are used to reading and hearing about'. So what are those stories that have gone unread? What would we hear if we chose to listen? Maria Tumarkin and Lior Albeck-Ripka are the curators of When Women Speak of War and in the Drawing Room they speak about how Alexievich has inspired their work and the current invasion of Ukraine.

Después de cientos de libros de hombres exaltando los conflictos bélicos hablando de valentía y heroísmo que prácticamente son propaganda, Svetlana Alexievich recupera los relatos que describen su verdadero rostro y como no podía ser de otra manera, son las mujeres que participaron en la segunda guerra mundial quienes dicen la verdad. Esta es una conversación que tuvimos al rededor del libro La guerra no tiene rostro de mujer, en vivo por YouTube el pasado mes de abril del 2021.

En este episodio hablamos del libro Sistema Nervioso de la chilena, Lina Meruane. También hablamos del libro Soledad y Compañía de Salvana Paternostro, sobre el género de la biografía oral y un poco sobre Svetlana Alexievich.

  Dave is gone for 8 days so here is a Sofa King Classic from the archives Quotable moments from radioactive grandmas to Cesium queefs... you wont want to miss this one. On this episode, we discuss the accident at the Chernobyl power plant as only the Sofa King Podcast can. The Chernobyl power plant in Pripyat, Ukraine suffered a ten day nuclear fire starting on April 26, 1986. This was one of only two Level 7 nuclear disasters in the history of nuclear power, and the causes, reaction, and effects are pretty staggering. Though the numbers vary greatly, upwards of 350,000 people were evacuated, 500,000 “volunteers” were called on to help, and somewhere around 75,000 cases of cancer are still with us due to this nuclear meltdown. What caused it? According to most reports, it was human error, arrogance, and design flaws working in perfect concert. We cover the causes and the basics of how a nuclear reactor works in order to fully explore this horrible accident. Most of the blame can be put on one of the foremen (a man so radioactive that he gave his own son Leukemia!), but there is a complex web of control and Soviet era Party politics involved as well. We also look at the Nobel Prize winning book Voices from Chernobyl by Svetlana Alexievich which covers a dozens of interviews of survivors of this meltdown. Then we talk about everything from the chances of the reactor’s protective sarcophagus cracking and making an even worse disaster in the future, hostile radioactive wolves which roam the Exclusion Zone even today, and what the Soviet Union did right and wrong in trying to stop the disaster. Their policy tended to be telling lies to the free world about how good things were and sending hundreds of thousands of volunteers into radioactive danger with no equipment or medicine to help them. However, with little else to do, we wonder if this was the action of an evil communist state or actually true heroism by a nation desperately trying to stop the meltdown from making most of Europe a nuclear grave yard.

Shownotes: This week, Matt and Cameron pull out their soap boxes and get maudlin drunk as they cover The Unwomanly Face of War by Svetlana Alexievich. The Unwomanly Face of War is an oral history of the disparate experiences of Soviet women in World War Two, told in fragmented tales revolving around various themes. Get out your Soviet Union-centered history textbooks, find the appropriate wartime alcohol substitute, and tune in to this...sad, but extremely informative episode. Major themes: Sad Sake Shots, Oversized Boots, Soapboxes. 07:48 - This statistic is pulled from Ishaan Tharoor's Washington post article “Don't forget how the Soviet Union saved the world from Hitler.” 09:23 - This is pulled from Eisenhower's book Crusade in Europe. The quote is included in this PDF copy of an Eisenhower Institute article, “The Soviet Experience in World War Two. 24:11 - The infamous Order No. 227. 33:58 - Actually, I mixed up the sisters' story with that of another woman. Actually, I'll read it later in the episode. The music used in this episode was “soviet march,” by Toasted Tomatoes. You can find more of their work on Bandcamp and Youtube.

Valzhyna Mort on her selection: On April 26th, 1986, the worst nuclear reactor accident in history occurred in Chernobyl. I am reading from Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster by Svetlana Alexievich, translated by Keith Gessen. Voices from Chernobyl is the first book to present personal accounts of what happened to the people of Belarus, and the fear, anger and uncertainty that they still live with.

Name: Olga Reading: Second-hand Time, Svetlana Alexievich Why did you want to read this? I am interested in the idea of compiling alternative archives and subverting the ‘official' narratives. The voices in this book belong to a particular time and place, but at the same time speak outside of history; their desires are very human: simultaneous desire for a greater purpose and for a comfortable life, for freedom, for love even when tanks are under the windows. How did you record yourself? Sitting cross-legged on a cushion underneath Antonioni's Zabriskie Point film poster. I did a few sittings over a Sunday afternoon with long tea breaks in-between.

The events she covers, for example, the Chernobyl disaster and the Second World War, are just a pretext for exploring what history does to the individual and where individual life intersects with the course of historical events."What she is really interested in is the soul of events, of the inner life of individuals, that's what she has been uncovering book after book.”Alexievich was born on May 31, 1948 in the Ukrainian town of Ivano-Frankivsk, the daughter of a Belarusian father and a Ukrainian mother. When her father had completed his military service, the family moved to Belarus, where both parents worked as teachers.Alexievich worked as a teacher and as a journalist, and she studied journalism at the University of Minsk."She has conducted thousands of interviews over the years with man and women and children, she always keeps herself in the background unlike most journalists."Danius recommended that people read her first book "War's Unwomenly Face" translated into English in 1988. It was about one million Soviet women in the red army who participated in the Second World War alongside male soldiers.Alexievich's book Voices of Utopia and Voices from Chernobyl about nuclear proliferation are also recommended by Danius.
