La Mesa 27.02.2026 - Umberto Eco, a 10 años de su fallecimiento by En Perspectiva

Jorge del Palacio nos habla hoy en 'Pasado Presente' sobre la faceta política de Umberto Eco, que hoy hacen 10 años de su muerte.

Diese Woche ist es in den „Gedanken für den Tag“ um den Schriftsteller, Semiotiker und Mediävisten Umberto Eco gegangen. Denn am 19. Februar hat sich sein Todestag zum 10. Mal gejährt. Der Schriftsteller David Weiss schreibt selbst Thriller mit historischem Background und ist ein großer Fan von Umberto Eco.

In questo episodio Gianluca Gatta incontra Michele Righini, bibliotecario dell'Archiginnasio di Bologna e organizzatore di gruppi di lettura, per parlare di scrittura e lettura, libri, e-book, fumetti, manga, Umberto Eco, Stefano Benni, Carlo Ginzburg e Valerio Evangelisti, senza dimenticare le nuove sfide che pone l'intelligenza artificiale al ruolo dello scrittore e del lettore.

Gestern hat sich der Todestag des Schriftstellers Umberto Eco zum 10. Mal gejährt. In seinem fünften Roman geht es um Gedächtnis und prägende Erinnerungen, erzählt der Schriftsteller David Weiss. Er macht sich diese Woche „Gedanken für den Tag“ über Umberto Eco. Gestaltung: Alexandra Mantler – Eine Eigenproduktion des ORF, gesendet in Ö1 am 20.02.2026

Il 19 febbraio di 10 anni fa moriva a Milano Umberto Eco. Semiologo di fama mondiale, filosofo, traduttore, bibliofilo e medievalista italiano, nonché scrittore di romanzi, Eco aveva chiesto agli eredi un "silenzio stampa" decennale che scade ora.

Heute jährt sich der Todestag des Schriftstellers und Semiotikers Umberto Eco zum 10. Mal. Die Einsamkeit ist in zentrales Thema seiner wohl dunkelsten Erzählung, sagt der Schriftsteller David Weiss.

Il 19 febbraio ricorrono i dieci anni dalla scomparsa di Umberto Eco, il grande semiologo, filosofo, medievista, narratore e massmediologo, che ha segnato la cultura del nostro tempo. Il modo migliore per ricordarlo è attraverso la sua stessa voce. Laser in collaborazione con gli archivi RSI propone un estratto dell'intervista all'autore del best-seller internazionale Il nome della Rosa, andata in onda nell'ambito del programma televisivo Controluce il 26 ottobre 2008. In quell'occasione Michele Fazioli incontrava il “professore” nella Villa Manzoni di Lecco, in occasione del conferimento di un premio alla carriera al grande intellettuale nato ad Alessandria nel 1932. E proprio dal grande scrittore italiano e dal suo capolavoro - I promessi sposi - prende le mosse l'incontro, in cui Eco ripercorre le sue passioni letterarie, riflette sul valore della lettura e del potere del lettore e delle occasioni perdute della televisione italiana; un'intervista in cui emerge una personalità fuori dal comune, capace di osservare e anticipare i cambiamenti della società e di mettere insieme Gérard de Nerval e Superman.undefined

Schon früh warnte er vor einer Informationsflut ohne Filter. Umberto Eco war die wichtigste Stimme des intellektuellen Italiens – Philosoph, Zeichentheoretiker und einer der erfolgreichsten italienischen Romanciers. Vor zehn Jahren ist er gestorben.

Wie kein anderer Autor versöhnt Umberto Eco die beiden scheinbaren Widersacher Fasching und Fastenzeit, sagt der Schriftsteller David Weiss. Er macht sich „Gedanken für den Tag“ zum morgigen 10. Todestag von Umberto Eco. Gestaltung: Alexandra Mantler – Eine Eigenproduktion des ORF, gesendet in Ö1 am 18.02.2026

Fratelli d'Italia prima di diventare il nome del partito della premier italiana - è stato il titolo del celebre romanzo-conversazione di Alberto Arbasino, pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1963. Il “decadente di Voghera”, dove era nato nel 1930; dopo studi di giurisprudenza, Arbasino ha intrapreso una feconda carriera letteraria - romanziere, poeta, critico teatrale e musicale, ma anche saggista colto e duttile, e giornalista; come Umberto Eco è stato un importante esponente del Gruppo 63. In letteratura è stato un grande innovatore, iniziatore di una vera e propria rivoluzione estetica; nemico del politicamente corretto, anticomunista e antifascista, Arbasino era sempre pronto a intervenire nel dibattito civile. La sua vena polemica e la sua ironia sofisticata affiorano anche nell'intervista rilasciata nel 1996 alla televisione della Svizzera italiana, di cui vi proponiamo un estratto tratto dagli Archivi della RSI.

Wäre auch das Lachen ein teuflischer Dunst, so bleiben Ecos Ideenreichtum und Esprit ein Orientierungspunkt in nebligen Tagen, sagt der Schriftsteller David Weiss. Er macht sich „Gedanken für den Tag“ zum 10. Todestag von Umberto Eco am 19. Februar. Gestaltung: Alexandra Mantler – Eine Eigenproduktion des ORF, gesendet in Ö1 am 17.02.2026

Er hat uns niemals den Namen der Rose verraten, aber die Geschichte der Schönheit und des Hässlichen erzählt: Umberto Eco ist vor 10 Jahren, am 19. Februar gestorben.

Carlo Baroni"Essere James Bond"Identikit di un agente segretoEdizioni Areswww.edizioniares.itJames Bond non invecchia: cambia volto (al cinema), ma il suo mito resta inscalfibile.L'agente segreto, impeccabile e letale, “nasce” nel 1953 dalla penna di Ian Fleming (1908-1964) e nel '62 buca lo schermo con Sean Connery. Fedele alla Corona britannica (chiunque la porti), pistola Walther sempre carica, Aston Martin modificata, smoking e cocktail a ogni latitudine, fascino magnetico e proverbiale: ecco i tratti dell'icona apprezzata persino da Umberto Eco. Con ironia e passione, Carlo Baroni decripta il pedigree di 007: scandaglia il suo passato, indaga sull'uomo dietro la spia, nonché sul romanziere celato dietro il suo personaggio più celebre.Essere James Bond. Identikit di un agente segreto è un ritratto tridimensionale ricco di curiosità e pieno di brio: non può mancare la ricetta del Vodka Martini per una meritata pausa prima di una nuova spericolata missione.Carlo Baroni, rivela in questo libro la sua ammirazione per 007. Avrebbe voluto fosse la sua autobiografia, ma soffre di vertigini.Carlo Baroni, giornalista del Corriere della Sera, con Ares ha pubblicato Essere James Bond. Identikit di un agente segreto, in cui rivela la sua ammirazione per 007.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8440CINQUANT'ANNI DI REPUBBLICA, IL QUOTIDIANO LAICISTA CHE PIACE ALLA GENTE CHE PIACE di Giuliano Guzzo Da giorni si celebra un compleanno rilevante per il mondo dell'informazione italiana: quello dei 50 anni di Repubblica. Mezzo secolo di stampa che piace alla gente che piace, il primo quotidiano di cui vale forse la pena leggere i titoli e senz'altro l'ultimo nel quale, per chi abbia a cuore i principi non negoziabili, è raccomandabile riconoscersi. Abortista, divorzista, pro eutanasia di Stato, pro fecondazione in vitro, ovviamente pro ddl Zan e rivendicazioni Lgbt e chi più ne ha più ne metta, il quotidiano fondato da Eugenio Scalfari (1924-2022) fin dalle origini sta orgogliosamente dalla parte «giusta» della storia.È spesso il giornale dei professori (presenti, futuri e in pensione), a volte quello di chi vuol darsi un tono, sempre quello dei radical chic. Ha di certo pubblicato grandi firme, ma soprattutto enormi ego; a partire da quello del suo fondatore, il già citato Scalfari, che coi suoi interminabili editoriali della domenica - un'omelia laica imperdibile per i maggiorenti dell'amichettismo di casa ai Parioli e a Capalbio - spaziava dalla politica alla filosofia al costume, non di rado incorrendo nella gaffe. Non a caso sugli errori scalfariani sono stati pubblicati perfino libri. Eppure, va detto, Repubblica era Scalfari e Scalfari era Repubblica.DOPO SCALFARIEzio Mauro, il primo a succedere al fondatore nel 1996, non ha più avuto - forse per un suo senso della misura sabaudo -, il carisma da sommo sacerdote, da patriarca del laicismo appunto di Scalfari; e i successori del successore meno ancora. Risultato: dopo 50 anni Repubblica è sempre Repubblica, la bibbia quotidiana dei «sinceramente democratici», ma i lettori calano. Eccome: dei dati ufficiali piuttosto recenti (Ads, settembre 2025) parlano di crisi nera: sotto le 100.000 copie, meno della metà di quelle del Corriere. Aggiungiamoci le ultime novità sul cambio di proprietà, e si capisce quanto sia ora amaro, il cinquantesimo compleanno di questo giornale che sicuramente la storia l'ha fatta. Però si tratta di capire quale.Senza voler risultare sprezzanti né voler semplificare, si può osservare come a Repubblica la cosa riuscita meglio, sul piano politico, sia sempre stata la demonizzazione dell'avversario politico più in vista: per molti anni è stato Silvio Berlusconi, il Cavaliere, poi è venuto Matteo Salvini, oggi tocca naturalmente a Giorgia Meloni, domani chissà. Ma in fondo neppure importa chi: ciò che conta, per la linea di questa testata, è rilanciare un sentimento di ostilità ideologica viscerale e talmente insistita da far apparire, dopo un po', simpatico il bersaglio di tutti quegli editoriali e quelle inchieste.UN PRESENTE INCERTO E UN FUTURO INCERTISSIMOPer quanto riguarda invece l'antropologia sposata da Rep, beh, come già si diceva in apertura è in buona sostanza quella del permissivismo più assoluto. Non c'è opzione bioetica che il giornalone fondato da Scalfari non consideri percorribile. E chi, a fronte di tutto ciò, si fosse per caso meravigliato del fatto che giovedì anche Papa Leone XIV abbia inviato i suoi (brevi) auguri alla testata, facciamo osservare che nel messaggio papale - dove non manca un elegante ma eloquente richiamo alla «diversità di opinioni, dei punti di vista» - si trova l'augurio alla testata di «costruire sempre una comunicazione libera e dialogante, animata dalla ricerca della verità e senza pregiudizi».Ora, già richiamare apertis verbis «la verità» nel tempio editoriale del relativismo può essere una piccola frecciata, ma forse lo è ancor più quel «costruire» al posto di «continuare a costruire»: vuol dire che forse la comunicazione «libera e dialogante», nel giornalone radical chic per eccellenza, manca ancora? Chissà. Conoscendo lo stile molto misurato di Papa Leone XIV non lo si può né affermare né escludere. Ciò che è sicuro è che per Repubblica i tempi d'oro in cui Scalfari intervistava Papa Francesco (o Papa Francesco intervistava Scalfari, non si è mai davvero capito) sono acqua passata. Con il pontefice statunitense le vere o presunte «aperture della Chiesa» fanno oggi molta, moltissima fatica a finire in pagina.Dopo mezzo secolo di storia editoriale anche gloriosa, ma con un presente incerto e un futuro incertissimo, a Repubblica, il fu giornale-partito scalfariano, non resta dunque che giocarsi la carta della demonizzazione o lo spauracchio del «fascismo eterno» di Umberto Eco (sua storica firma), a danno ora di Giorgia Meloni ora di Donald Trump, che ogni giorno prende a picconate qualcosa di caro alla testata. Che, con alcune firme, continua ad esprimere qualità: nessuno lo nega. Ma dopo decenni di veleno sputato quasi ovunque, sulla morale naturale e sulla Chiesa (la cotta scalfariana per Papa Bergoglio non cancella il passato), ecco, oggi quel veleno sembra essere rimasto nel giornale. Un quotidiano che vende sempre meno e potrebbe, in un ironico boomerang, vivere un'eutanasia di quelle per cui ha sempre tifato. Tanti auguri.

"Dimmi che sei stata felice" di Maria Grazia Calandrone e "Un'educazione veneziana" di Mario AndreoseUn romanzo che incrocia le vicende personali di quattro generazioni di donne con i fatti storici, dove la cronaca storica non è semplice sfondo: il bombardamento su Roma nel luglio del '43, il '68, la strategia della tensione, la lotta fra bande criminali a Ostia, la diffusione dell'amianto nelle costruzioni. Sono questi i fatti che costituiscono l'ossatura del romanzo "Dimmi che sei stata felice" (Einaudi) di Maria Grazia Calandrone, autrice fra l'altro di "Splendi come vita", in cui raccontava il rapporto turbolento con la madre adottiva, e "Dove non mi hai portata", in cui si ricostruiva la vita della madre biologica che l'aveva lasciata quando lei era neonata in un parco, proprio perché la trovassero, prima di togliersi la vita. Nel romanzo seguiamo le vite di Lidia, che perde due figli nel bombardamento di Roma, la figlia Angelica, cresciuta in un collegio di suore, Aurora, figlia di Angelica, che ha un rapporto conflittuale con la madre che a un certo punto della sua vita si trasferisce ad Ostia, dove incontra Viola con la quale nasce una relazione, infine Astra, figlia di Aurora.Nella seconda parte parliamo di "Un'educazione veneziana" (La nave di Teseo), memoir di Mario Andreose, un uomo di editoria che ha iniziato come correttore di bozze a Il Saggiatore per poi arrivare a ruoli dirigenziali, soprattutto in Bompiani. Nel 2015 è stato fra i fondatori, insieme a Elisabetta Sgarbi e Umberto Eco, di cui era amico e curatore editoriale, della casa editrice La nave di Teseo. Nel memoir ricostruisce la sua infanzia e giovinezza a Venezia: una famiglia umile, una "dignitosa indigenza", una tragedia che ha segnato l'infanzia (la morte del gemello a quattro anni e della sorellina a tre anni), una madre che lo considera un po' poco, perché dice che un gemello è pur sempre "una metà". Ma poi c'è l'incontro, meraviglioso, con i libri, il teatro, il cinema, l'arte, nella Venezia anni Cinquanta, dove circolano artisti e intellettuali.

Is Trump een fascist, of wordt dat woord te makkelijk gebruikt? Maarten van Rossem en Tom Jessen leggen Trumps politiek langs de meetlat van Umberto Eco's beroemde fascisme-lezing.Umberto Eco (1932–2016) was een Italiaanse schrijver, filosoof en cultuurcriticus. Wereldberoemd door De naam van de roos, maar politiek vooral invloedrijk door zijn lezing/essay “Ur-Fascisme” (1995). Daarin beschrijft hij 14 kenmerken van fascisme, niet als vast systeem, maar als terugkerend patroon dat steeds opnieuw kan opduiken, ook in moderne democratieën.In dit gesprek beantwoorden Maarten en Tom de vraag: past Trump in dat patroon?Kijk deze podcast met beeld via deze link.Tickets voor de live podcast over de hernieuwde wereldorde op 19 maart, bestel je hier.Meer context en verdieping lees je op onze Substack.Meer over de confrontatie tussen Trump en Europa hoor je in dit college Amerika laat Europa vallen.

1ER PODCAST DEL MISTERIO EN HABLA HISPANA DESDE 1993 TEMPORADA 32 DE LA LUZ DEL MISTERIO Vive el Misterio... Pasa, ponte cómodo y disfruta... FROM LONDON: Esta noche conversamos con la bibliotecaria de la Sacra de Michele, Elisa Ravarino sobre los misterios que esconde la abadia que inspiro a Umberto Eco, El Nombre De la Rosa. No todos los monasterios fueron erigidos para la oración. Algunos nacieron para guardar secretos. La Sacra de San Michele se alza sobre la roca como un manuscrito de piedra, escrito en una lengua que el tiempo ha intentado borrar. Quien asciende hasta ella no solo sube una montaña: se adentra en un lugar donde la historia y la leyenda se confunden, y donde cada sombra parece conocer un nombre prohibido. Los monjes que la habitaron hablaban poco y observaban mucho. Sabían que sus muros ocultaban símbolos que no debían ser interpretados a la ligera, y que bajo sus bóvedas se insinuaba una presencia antigua, vigilante, imposible de nombrar. La escalera que conduce a su interior no sigue las leyes de los hombres, y la luz que penetra en sus pasillos parece obedecer a un orden distinto. Este monasterio, consagrado al arcángel San Miguel, forma parte de una geometría sagrada que atraviesa Europa, como si alguien hubiera trazado una línea invisible entre lo divino y lo prohibido. No es extraño que, a lo largo de los siglos, se hayan registrado relatos de apariciones, pasos sin cuerpo, susurros nocturnos y visiones que ningún cronista se atrevió a dejar por escrito. En este video exploramos la historia documentada, las leyendas medievales y los fenómenos paranormales que rodean a la Sacra de San Michele. Un lugar donde la fe convive con el temor, y donde el mayor misterio no es lo que se ve… sino lo que permanece oculto. Porque hay verdades que no fueron hechas para ser reveladas. Y hay lugares que prefieren seguir en silencio. Luego conoceremos qué hay detrás del poder del Tercer Reich; se movió una corriente oscura de mitos, símbolos y creencias esotéricas. Algunos dirigentes nazis recurrieron a la astrología, las runas y a antiguas leyendas germánicas para construir un relato de destino y de superioridad. Instituciones como la Ahnenerbe buscaron reliquias y conocimientos prohibidos. Castillos y lugares rituales se convirtieron en escenarios simbólicos del poder. Un ejemplo inquietante de cómo lo oculto puede manipularse para justificar el fanatismo. COMPARTE EL PROGRAMA EN TU RED SOCIAL.

Spekülatif'in bu bölümünde Emre Dündar, aydın nedir, entelektüel nedir, entel ne demek soruları üzerinden Türkiye'de aydın–entelektüel tartışmasının tarihsel kırılmalarını ele alıyor. Türkiye'de aydın, entelektüel ve “entel” kavramları nasıl birbirine karıştı? Dündar, “entel” kavramının popüler kültürle nasıl zehirli bir etikete dönüştüğünü, aydın ve entelektüel figürlerin neden itibarsızlaştırıldığını ve günümüz düşünce krizinin kültürel arka planını tartışıyor. Cemil Meriç ve Peyami Safa'dan Sartre, Foucault, Umberto Eco ve Italo Calvino'ya uzanan referanslarla, entelektüel kimliğin tarihsel rolü, popüler kültürün ve dijital çağın düşünce üretimini nasıl dönüştürdüğünü tartışıyor.

The Swiss-born, London-based curator, art historian, and Serpentine Galleries artistic director Hans Ulrich Obrist moves through his life and work with a deep internal sense of urgency. Among the most prolific and everywhere-all-at-once people in the world of art—whose peripatetic path has taken him from a sheltered upbringing in a small Swiss village to his current post in London at the Serpentine—Obrist has been curating shows for more than three decades.

W najnowszej odsłonie „Skądinąd” opowiadam o „Rozważaniach niepoważnych” Umberto Eco, które ukażą się 29 października nakładem wydawnictwa Noir Sur Blanc, w przekładzie Moniki Woźniak. Odcinek powstał we współpracy z wydawnictwem ponieważ w książce mam swój niewielki udział – opracowałem notki o opisywanych przez Eco postaciach i szkołach filozoficznych. „Rozważania niepoważne” to znakomite, dowcipne wierszyki, które w esencjalny sposób ujmują najważniejsze idee tworzące zachodnią kulturę – od presokratyków do filozofii analitycznej.   Owocnego słuchania i czytania!

Nick Jeffery and John Granger continue their Q&A conversations about Rowling-Galbraith's Hallmarked Man (if you missed the first discussion, click here to catch up). As usual, the pair promised to send links and notes along with their recorded back and forth for anyone wanting to read more about the subjects they discussed. Scroll down for their seven plus one questions and a bevy of bonus material they trust will add to your appreciation of Rowling's Strike 8 artistry and meaning. Cheers!Q1: What is the meaning of or artistry involved with Pat Chauncey's three fish in the Agency's fish tank, ‘Robin,' ‘Cormoran,' and ‘Travolta/Elton'?Mise en Abyme (Wikipedia)In Western art history, mise en abyme (French pronunciation: [miz ɑ̃n‿abim]; also mise en abîme) is the technique of placing a copy of an image within itself, often in a way that suggests an infinitely recurring sequence. In film theory and literary theory, it refers to the story within a story technique.The term is derived from heraldry, and means placed into abyss (exact middle of a shield). It was first appropriated for modern criticism by the French author André Gide. A common sense of the phrase is the visual experience of standing between two mirrors and seeing an infinite reproduction of one's image. Another is the Droste effect, in which a picture appears within itself, in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appearSnargaloff pods (Harry Potter Wiki)“It sprang to life at once; long, prickly, bramble-like vines flew out of the top and whipped through the air... Harry succeeded in trapping a couple of vines and knotting them together; a hole opened in the middle of all the tentacle-like branches... Hermione snatched her arm free, clutching in her fingers a pod... At once, the prickly vines shot back inside and the gnarled stump sat there looking like an innocently dead lump of wood“— The trio dealing with the Snargaluff plant in sixth year Herbology classSnargaluff was a magical plant with the appearance of a gnarled stump, but had dangerous hidden thorn-covered vines that attacked when provoked, and was usually best handled by more than one person.Juliana's Question about the Oranda Goldfish:did anyone else notice - I confess to only noticing this on my second re-read of THM- that Travolta, Pat's third fish, dies?What do we think about this? Could this mean Mr. Ryan F. Murphy dies…? Or could it just be foreshadowing of the fact that him and Robin don't end up together? I think the fish symbolism was quite humorous and delightful paralleling such a deep and intricate plot. Just wanted to know if anyone noticed this tinge of humor towards the end of the book… As for the fish theory, Pat's three fish in the tank: Strike, Robin and the third, she calls, Travolta — ironically, named after a “handsome” man. I'm thinking JKR meant Travolta, the fish to symbolize Murphy…What I was referring to in my original comment: the three fish = the love triangle between Ellacott/Murphy/Strike. I was asking: since Travolta died in Chapter 113, do we think this foreshadows Murphy either dying physically, or just that Robin and Murphy do not end up together?John's ‘Fish and Peas' Response:It's a relief to learn that Travolta's most famous role wasn't a character named Ryan Murphy that everyone in the world except myself knows very well. Thank you for this explanation!There's more to your idea, though, I think, then you have shared. Forgive me if you were already aware of this textual argument that suggests very strongly that these Oranda goldfish have been an important part of Rowling's plan from the series from the start. In brief, it's about the peas.In Part 2, Chapter 3, of ‘Cuckoo's Calling,' Robin and Matt are having their first fight about Strike and the Agency. The chapter ends with an odd note that this disagreement has blemished the Cunliffe couple's engagement.“She waited until he had walked away into the sitting room before turning off the tap. There was, she noticed, a fragment of frozen pea caught in the setting of her engagement ring.” (73)Your theory that the fish bowl is an embedded picture of the state of Robin's feelings for Murphy and Strike, a Mise en abyme of sorts, is given credibility in the eyes of this reader by the appearance of frozen peas as the cure for the dying Cormoran goldfish. It is hard for a Rowling Reader to believe that these two mentions of frozen pea fragments were coincidental or unrelated, which means that (a) Rowling had the office Oranda goldfish scene-within-the-scene in Strike 8 foreshadowed by the Strike 1 tiff, and (b) therefore of real significance.There is another pea bit, of course, in ‘Troubled Blood' at Skegness, a passage that links Robin's heart or essence with peas.Strike was still watching the starlings when Robin set down two polystyrene trays, two small wooden forks and two cans of Coke on the table.“Mushy peas,” said Strike, looking at Robin's tray, where a hefty dollop of what looked like green porridge sat alongside her fish and chips.“Yorkshire caviar,” said Robin, sitting down. “I didn't think you'd want any.”“You were right,” said Strike, picking up a sachet of tomato sauce while watching with something like revulsion as Robin dipped a chip into the green sludge and ate it.“Soft Southerner, you are,” she said, and Strike laughed. (807-808)If you tie this in with the fish symbolism embedded in Rowling's favorite paintings and the meaning of ‘Oranda,' this is quite a bit of depth in that fish bowl -- and in your argument that the death of Travolta signifies Murphy is out of consideration.You're probably to young to remember this but Travolta's most famous role will always be Tony Manero in ‘Saturday Night Fever,' the breakout event of his acting career. Manero longs for a woman way out of his league, attempts to rape her after they win a dance contest, she naturally rejects him, but they wind up as friends.Or in a book so heavy in the cultish beliefs and practices of Freemasonry, especially with respect to policemen that are also “on the square,” maybe the Travolta-Murphy link is just that the actor is, with Tom Cruise, as famous (well...) for his beliefs in Scientology as for his acting ability.So, yes, it's fun, your ‘Peas and Fish' theory, but there's something to it.Check out this note on ‘Peas' in the Strike novels from Renee over at the weblog: https://www.hogwartsprofessor.com/hallmarked-man-placeholder-post-index/comment-page-1/#comment-1699017 The fish symbolism embedded in Rowling's favorite painting: https://hogwartsprofessor.substack.com/p/rowlings-favorite-painting-and-what And the meaning of ‘Oranda:' https://www.hogwartsprofessor.com/rowling-twixter-fish-and-strike-update/Follow-Up by Julianna:I'm not sure what exact chapter this is in, but let's also not forget that on Sark, Strike procures a bag of frozen peas to soothe the spade to his face injury. I also want to add that he has used frozen peas before, to soothe his aching leg too, but I could be wrong about that…I cant remember where I've read that, so it might not be true….Lastly, after reading Renee's comment, I have to say, that now I do believe that the peas might have been an ongoing symbol for Strike (a la…the pea in the engagement ring) and…stay with me here….peas are potentially, what save Cormoran, the goldfish, from dying.“The black fish called Cormoran was again flailing helplessly at the top of the tank. ‘Stupid a*****e, you've done it to your f*cking self'.” And the very last line of the book being: “Then pushed himself into a standing position ear and knee both throbbing. In the absence of anything else he could do to improve his present situation, he set off for the attic to fetch the empty margerine tub…and some peas.” (Chapter 127).My point being: this could be a way of Rowling saying, that Strike saves himself from himself…another psychological undertone in her stories. (Lake reference: Rowling has pulled herself up out of poverty ‘by her own bootstraps' we say.) Thoughts? Thanks for induldging me here, John! I am enjoying this conversation. Apologies for the grammar and potentially confusing train of thoughts.And from Vicky:Loving the theories and symbolism around the peas and fish! Just had a thought too re John quoting the Troubled blood scene. Robin calls mushy peas by a familiar term “Yorkshire caviar”. Caviar is of course fish eggs, and poor Robin, Yorkshire born, spends much of THM agonising over the thought and pressure of freezing her eggs. Giuliana mentioned the frozen peas Strike puts on his swollen face after the spade hit...maybe this is foreshadowing to their intimate and honest dinner conversation later with Robin baring her heart to Strike about her ectopic pregnancy griefQ2: Why didn't the Strike-Ellacott Agency or the Metropolitan Police figure out how the murderer entered the Ramsay Silver vault to kill William Wright the first time they saw the grainy surveillance film of the auction house crate deliveries?Tweet UrlFrom ‘The Locked Room Lecture' (John Dickson Carr) It's silly to be disappointed in a border-line absurd Locked Room Mystery such as Hallmarked Man because improbability is close to a requirement in such stories:“But this point must be made, because a few people who do not like the slightly lurid insist on treating their preferences as rules. They use, as a stamp of condemnation, the word ‘improbable.' And thereby they gull the unwary into their own belief that ‘improbable' simply means ‘bad.'“Now, it seems reasonable to point out that the word improbable is the very last which should ever be used to curse detective fiction in any case. A great part of our liking fofr detective fiction is based on a liking for improbability. When A is murdered, and B and C are under strong suspicion, it is improbably that the innocent-looking D can be guilty. But he is. If G has a perfect alibi, sworn to at every point by every other letter in the alphabet, it is improbable that G can have committed the crime. But he has. When the detective picks up a fleck of coal dust at the seashore, it is improbable that such an insignificant thing can have any importance. But it will. In short, you come to a point where the word improbable grows meaningless as a jeer. There can be no such thing as any probability until the end of the story. And then, if you wish the murder to be fastened on an unlikely person (as some of us old fogies do), you can hardly complain because he acted from motives less likely or necessarily less apparent than those of the person first suspected.“When the cry of ‘This-sort-of-thing-wouldn't-happen!' goes up, when you complain about half-faced fiends and hooded phantoms and blond hypnotic sirens, you are merely saying, ‘I don't like this sort of story.' That's fair enough. If you do not like it, you are howlingly right to say so. But when you twist this matter of taste into a rule for judging the merit or even the probability of the story, you are merely saying, ‘This series of events couldn't happen, because I shouldn't enjoy it if it did.'“What would seem to be the truth of the matter? We might test it out by taking the hermetically sealed chamber as an example, because this situation has been under a hotter fire than any other on the grounds of being unconvincing.“Most people, I am delighted to say, are fond of the locked room. But – here's the damned rub – even its friends are often dubious. I cheerfully admit that I frequently am. So, for the moment, we'll all side together on this score and see what we can discover. Why are we dubious when we hear the explanation of the locked room? Not in the least because we are incredulous, but simply because in some vague way we are disappointed. And from that feeling it is only natural to take an unfair step farther, and call the whole business incredible or impossible or flatly ridiculous.” (reprinted in The Art of the Mystery Story [Howard Haycraft] 273-286)Q3: Hallmarked Man is all about silver and Freemasonry. What is the historical connection between South American silver (‘Argentina' means ‘Land of Silver'), the end of European feudalism, and the secret brotherhood of the Masons?How Silver Flooded the World: And how that Replaced Feudalism and the Church with Capitalism and Nation-States (‘Uncharted Territories,' Tomas Pueyo) In Europe, silver also triggered the discovery of America, a technological explosion, and a runaway chain of events that replaced feudalism with capitalism and nation-states. If you understand this, you'll be able to understand why nation-states are threatened by cryptocurrencies today, and how their inevitable success will weaken nation-states. In this premium article, we're going to explore how Europe starved for silver, and how the reaction to this flooded the world with silver. ,See also Never Bet Against America and Argentina Could be a Superpower, both by Pueyo.‘Conspiracy Theories associated with Freemasonry' (Wikipedia)* That Freemasonry is a Jewish front for world domination or is at least controlled by Jews for this goal. An example of this is the anti-Semitic literary forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Adolf Hitler believed that Freemasonry was a tool of Jewish influence,[12] and outlawed Freemasonry and persecuted Freemasons partially for this reason.[13] The covenant of the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas claims that Freemasonry is a “secret society” founded as part of a Zionist plot to control the world.[14] Hilaire Belloc thought Jews had “inaugurated” freemasonry “as a bridge between themselves and their hosts”[15]* That Freemasonry is tied to or behind Communism. The Spanish dictator Francisco Franco had often associated his opposition with both Freemasonry and Communism, and saw the latter as a conspiracy of the former; as he put it, “The whole secret of the campaigns unleashed against Spain can be explained in two words: masonry and communism”.[16] In 1950, Irish Roman Catholic priest Denis Fahey republished a work by George F. Dillon under the title Grand Orient Freemasonry Unmasked as the Secret Power Behind Communism. Modern conspiracy theorists such as Henry Makow have also claimed that Freemasonry intends the triumph of Communism[17]* That Freemasons are behind income taxes in the US. One convicted tax protester has charged that law enforcement officials who surrounded his property in a standoff over his refusal to surrender after his conviction were part of a “Zionist, Illuminati, Free Mason [sic] movement”.[18] The New Hampshire Union Leader also reported that “the Browns believe the IRS and the federal income tax are part of a deliberate plot perpetrated by Freemasons to control the American people and eventually the world”[19]Umberto Eco's The Prague Cemetery, a Freemasonry Novel (Wikipedia)So much for the link between Freemasonry and Baphomet worship!‘The Desacralization of Work' (Roger Sworder, Mining, Metallurgy, and the Meaning of Life)Q4: Ian Griffiths is the Bad Guy of Hallmarked Man. His name has definite Christian overtones (a ‘Griffin,' being half-eagle, half-lion, King of Heaven and Earth, is a symbol of Christ); could it also be another pointer to Rowling's mysterious ‘Back Door Man,' Harry Bingham, author of the Fiona Griffiths series?Troubled Blood: The Acknowledgments (Nick Jeffery, November 2020)In both Silkworm and Career Rowling/Galbraith's military advisors are thanked as SOBE (Sean Harris OBE?) Deeby (Di Brookes?) and the Back Door Man. Professor Granger has identified the Back Door Man as a southern US slang term for a man having an illicit relationship, but beyond this is so far unidentified.Any thoughts on her dedications or acknowledgements? Any new leads for the elusive Back Door Man? Please comment down below.Harry Bingham's website, June 2012“My path into TALKING TO THE DEAD was a curious one. I was approached by a well-known figure who was contemplating working with a ghostwriter on a crime thriller. I hadn't read any crime for a long time, but was intrigued by the project. So I went out and bought about two dozen crime novels, then read them back-to-back over about two weeks.”Could Rowling have hired a (gasp) “ghost writer”? Or was it just “expert editorial assistance” she was looking for, what Bingham offers today?Author's Notes in The Strange Death of Fiona Grifiths (Publication date 29th January 2015, before Career of Evil):“If you want to buy a voice activated bugging device that looks like (and is) an ordinary power socket, it'll set you back about fifty pounds (about eighty bucks).”This is the same surveillance device used in Lethal White, but interestingly is not used in Bingham's book. (Nick Jeffery)Moderators Backchannel List of Correspondences between Cormoran Strike series and Bingham's Fiona Griffiths mystery-thrillers (John Granger):(1) A series that has an overarching mystery about which we get clues in every story, one linked to a secret involving a parent who is well known but whose real life is a mystery even to their families;(2) A series that is preoccupied with psychological issues, especially those of the brilliant woman protagonist who suffers from a mental illness and who is a student of psychology;(3) A series that is absorbed with death and populated by the dead who have not yet passed on and who influence the direction of the investigation more or less covertly (”I think we have just one world, a continuum, one populated by living and dead alike,” 92, This Thing of Darkness), a psychic and spiritual realm book that rarely touches on formal religion (Dead House and Deepest Grave excepted, sort of);(4) A series that, while being a police procedural because the detective is a police officer, is largely about how said sergeant works around, even against the hierarchy of department authority and decision makers, “with police help but largely as an independent agent;”(5) A series that makes glancing references to texts that will jar Rowling Readers: “All shall be well” (284, Love Story with Murders), she drives a high heel into a creepy guy's foot when he comes up to her from behind (75, This Thing of Darkness), Clerkenwell! (103, The Dead House), a cave opening cathedral-like onto a lake, the heroine enters with a mentor, blood spilled at the entrance, and featuring a remarkable escape (chapter 34, The Dead House), etc, especially the Robin-Fiona parallels....(6) A series starring a female protagonist who works brilliantly undercover, whose story is about recovery from a trauma experienced when she was a college student, who struggles mostly with her romantic relationships with men, a struggle that is a combination of her mental health-recovery progress (or lack of same) and her vocation as a detective, who is skilled in the martial art of self-defense, and who is from a world outside London, an ethnicity and home fostering, of all things, a love of sheep;(7) A series with a love of the mythological or at least the non-modern (King Arthur! Anchorites!)Q5: Can you help us out with some UK inside jokes or cultural references of which we colonists can only guess the meaning? Start with Gateshead, Pit Ponies, and Council Flats and Bed-Sits!* Gateshead (Wikipedia)J. B. Priestley, writing of Gateshead in his 1934 travelogue English Journey, said that “no true civilisation could have produced such a town”, adding that it appeared to have been designed “by an enemy of the human race”.* Pit Ponies (Wikipedia)Larger horses, such as varieties of Cleveland Bay, could be used on higher underground roadways, but on many duties small ponies no more than 12 hands (48 inches, 122 cm) high were needed. Shetlands were a breed commonly used because of their small size, but Welsh, Russian, Devonshire (Dartmoor) and Cornish ponies also saw extensive use in England.[2] In the interwar period, ponies were imported into Britain from the Faroe Islands, Iceland and the United States. Geldings and stallions only were used. Donkeys were also used in the late 19th century, and in the United States, large numbers of mules were used.[6] Regardless of breed, typical mining ponies were low set, heavy bodied and heavy limbed with plenty of bone and substance, low-headed and sure-footed. Under the British Coal Mines Act 1911 (1 & 2 Geo. 5. c. 50), ponies had to be four years old and work ready (shod and vet checked) before going underground.[15] They could work until their twenties.At the peak of this practice in 1913, there were 70,000 ponies underground in Britain.In shaft mines, ponies were normally stabled underground[16] and fed on a diet with a high proportion of chopped hay and maize, coming to the surface only during the colliery's annual holiday.* Council Flats (Wikipedia)Q6: What are Rowling Readers to think of Robin's dream in chapter 22 (174 )when she's sleeping next to Murphy but dreaming of being at Ramsay's Silver with Strike and the showroom is filled with “cuddly toys instead of masonic swords and aprons”?* ‘Harry's Dreams:' Steve Vander Ark, Harry Potter LexiconQ7: The first bad news phone call that Robin takes from her mother Linda in Hallmarked Man is about the death of Rowntree. What is the connection between Robin's beloved Chocolate Labrador, Quakers, and Rowling's Golden Thread about ‘What is Real'?‘Troubled Blood: Poisoned Chocolates' (John Granger, 2021)‘Troubled Blood: The Secret of Rowntree' (John Granger, 2021)I explained in ‘Deathly Hallows and Penn's Fruits of Solitude‘ why Penn's quotation is a key to the Hogwarts Saga finale, how, in brief, the “inner light” doctrines of the Quakers and of non-conformist esoteric Christianity in general inform the story of Harry's ultimate victory in Dobby's grave over doubt and his subsequent ‘win' in his battle against death and the Dark Lord. I urge you to read that long post, one of the most important, I think, ever posted at HogwartsProfessor, for an idea of how central to Rowling's Christian faith the tenets of Quakerism really are as well as how this shows itself in Deathly Hallows.What makes the historical chocolate connection with the Quakers, one strongly affirmed in naming the Ellacott dog ‘Rowntree,' that much more interesting then is the easy segue from the “inner light” beliefs of the Christian non-conformists to the effect of chocolate on characters in Rowling and Galbraith novels. The conscience of man per the Quakers are our logos within that is continuous with the Logos fabric of reality, the Word that brings all things into existence and the light that is in every man (cf., the Prologue to St John's Gospel). Our inner peace and fellowship, in this view, depend on our identification with this transpersonal “inner light” rather than our ephemeral ego concerns.What is the sure way to recover from a Dementor attack, in which your worst nightmares are revisited? How does Robin deal with stress and the blues? Eat some chocolate, preferably a huge bar from Honeydukes or a chocolate brownie if you cannot get to Hogsmead.Access, in other words, the Quaker spiritual magic, the “inner light” peace of communion with what is Absolute and transcendent, a psychological effect exteriorized in story form by Rowling as the good feeling we have in eating chocolate. Or in the companionship and unconditional love of a beloved Labrador, preferably a chocolate Lab.Christmas Pig: The Blue Bunny' (John Granger, 2021)“Do you just want to live in nice houses?” asked Blue Bunny. “Or is there another reason you want to get in?”“Yes,” said Jack, before the Christmas Pig could stop him. “Somebody I need's in there. He's called DP and he's my favorite cuddly toy.”For a long moment, Jack and Blue Bunny stared into each other's eyes and then Blue Bunny let out a long sigh of amazement.“You're a boy,” he whispered. “You're real.”“He isn't,” said the panic-stricken Christmas Pig. “He's an action figure called—”“It's all right, Pig,” said Blue Bunny, “I won't tell anybody, I promise. You really came all the way into the Land of the Lost to find your favorite toy?” he asked Jack, who nodded.“Then I'll be your decoy,” said Blue Bunny. “It would be an honor” (169).The Bunny's recognition here of Jack as a messiah, sacrificial love incarnate, having descended into existence as a Thing himself from Up There where he was a source of the love that “alivens” objects, is one of, if not the most moving event in Christmas Pig. Note the words he uses: “You're real.”Rowling has used the word “real” twice before as a marker of reality transcending what we experience in conventional time and space, the sensible world. The first was in what she described as the “key” to the Harry Potter series, “lines I waited seventeen years to write” (Cruz), the end of the Potter-Dumbledore dialogue at King's Cross….In a Troubled Blood passage meant to echo that dialogue, with “head” and “backside” reflecting the characters inverted grasp of “reality,” Robin and Strike talk astrology:“You're being affected!” she said. “Everyone knows their star sign. Don't pretend to be above it.”Strike grinned reluctantly, took a large drag on his cigarette, exhaled, then said, “Sagittarius, Scorpio rising, with the sun in the first house.”“You're –” Robin began to laugh. “Did you just pull that out of your backside, or is it real?”“Of course, it's not f*****g real,” said Strike. “None of it's real, is it?” (Blood 242, highlighting in original).The Bunny's simple declaration, “You're real,” i.e., “from Up There,” the greater reality of the Land of the Living in which Things have their awakening in the love of their owners, clarifies these other usages. Dumbledore shares his wisdom with Harry that the maternal love which saved him, first at Godric's Hollow and then in the Forest, is the metaphysical sub-stance beneath, behind, and within all other reality. Strike gives Robin a dose of his skeptical ignorance and nominalist first principle that nothing is real but surface appearance subject to measurement and physical sensation, mental grasp of all things being consequent to that.Christmas Pig‘s “real” moment acts as a key to these others, one evident in the Bunny's response to the revelation of Jack's greater ontological status. He does a Dobby, offering to die for Jack as Jack has done in his descent into the Land of the Lost for DP, a surrender of self to near certain death in being given to the Loser he considers an “honor.” He acts spontaneously and selflessly as a “decoy,” a saving replacement in other words, for the “living boy” as Dobby did for the “Boy Who Lived.” The pathetic distraction that saved the DP rescue mission in Mislaid despite himself, crying out in desperation for his own existence, has metamorphized consequent to his experience with Broken Angel and in Jack's example, into a heroic decoy that allows Jack and CP to enter the City of the Missed.The Blue Bunny makes out better than the House-elf, too, and this is the key event of the book and the best evidence since the death of Lily Potter, Harry's defeat of Quirrell, and the demise of the Dark Lord that mother's love is Rowling's default symbolism for Christian love in her writing. The Bunny's choice to act as decoy, his decision to die to his ego-self, generates the life saving appearance of maternal love and its equivalent in the transference attachment a child feels for a beloved toy. The Johannine quality of the light that shines down on him from the Finding Hole and his Elijah-esque elevation nails down the Logos­-love correspondence.EC: All through Hallmarked Man Robin is saying to herself, “I think I love Ryan, no, really, I know I love him…,” which of course is Rowling's way of signaling the conflict this character has in her feelings for Strike and for Murphy.

Maria Vittoria Baravelli"I discorsi belli. Custodire, ricordare, curare"Kum! Festivalwww.kumfestival.itKum! Festival, PesaroSabato 18 ottobre 2025, ore 14:30I discorsi belli. Custodire, ricordare, curare.Maria Vittoria BaravelliPlatone fa dire a Socrate che l'anima si cura con incantesimi, e questi incantesimi sono i discorsi belli. Curare significa avere a cuore; ricordare, da re-cordis, significa ripassare dalle parti del cuore. L'arte, come i discorsi belli, fa entrambe le cose: custodisce la memoria e ci rimette al mondo. Dalla follia di Van Gogh all'universo di Kusama, dalle ninfee di Monet alle ferite di Louise Bourgeois, la storia dell'arte mostra come ogni ferita possa farsi visione e ogni dolore balsamo.Maria Vittoria Baravelli"Il mondo non merita la fine del mondo"Storie, arti e altri incantiElectawww.electa.itLe opere d'arte sono così. Ci chiamano a sé, vogliono rubare la nostra attenzione, come sirene che cantano, ammaliano e ci confondono. Finché esisterà l'arte, come incanto, memoria, bellezza e richiamo all'infinito, il mondo non merita di finire. Maria Vittoria Baravelli ci accompagna attraverso un personale atlante di bellezza che spazia dall'antichità al contemporaneo, dal cinema, alla fotografia, alle installazioni, con accostamenti inediti e paralleli inaspettati. L'arte richiede presenza: la prima vera regola, imperturbabile al tempo e ai cambiamenti, è che l'espressione artistica deve essere sperimentata dal vivo, nei musei, alle mostre. Accanto all'energia e alla possibilità di fruizione che le nuove tecnologie ci mettono a disposizione, l'autrice resta fermamente convinta del valore dell'arte incontrata di persona, che ci entra dentro e non ci abbandona più. Questo libro è un viaggio nella vita di capolavori che non finiscono mai di parlarci, alla scoperta di cosa ci colpisce davvero quando contempliamo un'opera d'arte e questa sembra avvicinarci ai suoi segreti. Come diceva Umberto Eco, leggendo un libro, così come osservando un'opera, si innesca una sorta di "immortalità all'indietro". Per un attimo ci è concesso di guardare direttamente negli occhi il passato, incrociare lo sguardo dell'artista e perderci nella nostalgia di epoche che non sono la nostra.Maria Vittoria Baravelli è curatrice d'arte e fotografia, autrice Rizzoli de Il mondo non merita la fine del mondo. Insegna " Moda e Arte all'Accademia della Moda e del Costume (Milano), scrive per Domani e Il Giornale dell'Arte.

Lumen es uno de los sellos de mayor prestigio en España, con un catálogo que incluye a Virginia Woolf, Doris Lessing, a Umberto Eco o Alice Munro, por ejemplo, y autoras más contemporáneas. La última en entrar en esa lista es una lorquina, Inma Pelegrín, que ha ganado el premio Lumen de novela con un thriller rural donde la protagonista es una perra llamada Sombra y su relación con Gabi, el narrador de la historia. Fosca es una obra que nos ha encantado, muy original. ¿Qué tendrá la ciudad de Nueva York para atraparnos con ese poder magnético que solo parece tener ella, y ningún otro sitio del mundo? Sergi Reboredo, viajero que siempre tiene la pluma y la cámara listas para enseñarnos los mejores rincones del planeta, viaja esta vez a la Gran Manzana. El libro, publicado primorosamente por Anaya Touring, es una delicia.Y conocemos a un personaje que parece de novela, con una vida atormentada donde los momentos de felicidad fueron pocos, y que le sirvió de sustrato para escribir cuentos que la llevaron a ser equiparada a Carver. Su nombre, Lucia Berlin. Manual para mujeres de la limpieza es uno de los mejores libros de relatos que jamás ha caído en nuestras manos. Detrás de tanto talento hubo oscuridad. Y entramos en ella. En Alfaguara está toda su obra.Y además, las manías de García Márquez. ¿Por qué quería tener siempre lejos a los caracoles o a los pavos reales?En la sección de Audiolibros, Elizabeth Strout.

“Idealism increases in direct proportion to one's distance from the problem.” Or as I like to say, your ability to put up with a problem is your distance from it.If you're over 40, you probably think fascism means Mussolini's Italy or Hitler's Germany — a corporatist system where state and business fused into a one-party authoritarian project. That's the old poli-sci definition I learned back at GWU in 1988.But ask someone under 40 and you'll get a different answer. For them, “fascism” covers almost anything patriotic or traditional: flags, borders, religion, even just opposing socialism. That shift comes from Umberto Eco's Ur-Fascism, which broadened the word into a set of cultural vibes — nationalism, anti-communism, loyalty to the flag. In practice, it became a smear.By that measure, mainstream Cold War America was “fascist.” McCarthy's 1950s, Reagan's 1980s — even Obama, with his deportations and patriotic rhetoric, fits the new label. Which makes no sense to normies who grew up believing their grandparents defeated fascism in WWII.And there's a third wrinkle. Today's activist left uses “anti-fascist” in a totally different way — less Normandy, more Mao. It echoes anti-colonial rage, China's “century of humiliation,” and revolutionary energy grafted onto Western identity politics. In that frame, antifascism isn't about fighting Nazis. It's about dismantling borders, patriotism, capitalism itself.So we've got three definitions colliding. The textbook version: corporatism and dictatorship. The normie version: America killed fascism in 1945. And the activist version: fascism is anything resembling national pride. No wonder generations are talking past each other.Over-40 Americans hear “fascist” and think Hitler. Under-40 activists hear “fascist” and think Dad with a flag in the yard. And that's the trap: if everyone is fascist, then the word means nothing.This is Chris Abraham, and this has been The Chris Abraham Show.

Ritorno del romanzo storico nel Novecento, da Umberto Eco a Valerio Massimo Manfredi. Protagonisti e caratteristiche del romanzo neostorico italiano.

Marc Marquez campione del mondo nel giorno in cui Pecco Bagnaia risorge all'improvviso. La combinazione stimola le fantasie, i complottisti si scatenano e sarebbe bello se Ducati chiarisse un po' di cose. Ma sappiate che Umberto Eco diceva…

Another day, another public brawl on the streets of Parabellum City. Will Falk quell the unrest and clean up the streets? Are there laws requiring reporters to have alliterative names and film critics to use French terms? Listen to find out!Black Cats and Bad Habits, episode 138 of This Gun in My Hand, was Rob Northrup crossing your path. This episode and all others are available on Youtube with automatically-generated closed captions of dialog.

What contains several bits which can form a fragmentary story when used together? This Gun in My Hand!Show Notes:1. The Black Cat in this episode is NOT a rip-off of the Marvel comics character with the same name. It's a rip-off of the public domain superhero Black Cat who first appeared in Pocket Comics #1, August 1941, and had her own title from Harvey Comics with various name changes (Black Cat Western Comics, Black Cat Mystery Comics, Black Cat Mystic) until 1963.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Cat_(Harvey_Comics)2. When Wordplay took his second play “Shoot” on tour, he found it was not as popular outside of Parabellum City.3. Lana Krang presumably uses a paper or cardstock folder for her Bits file. Mine is digital but the filename is “Bits.”4. If I was trying to cheer up Miss Krang, I'd remind her of some artistically and monetarily successful novelists who were late bloomers: Umberto Eco wrote a lot of non-fiction before his first novel, The Name of the Rose, was published when he was 50. Alan Bradley was 71 when his excellent first novel, The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie, was published. Many such cases.Credits:The opening music clip was from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the transitional and closing music were from The Big Combo (1955), both films in the public domain.

In recent weeks and months, the Trump admin has sent in the National Guard to cities under a fascistic guise of cracking down on crime.

Today, Professor Kozlowski tackles the preeminent development in political philosophy of the twentieth century - and spectre overhanging the twenty-first: Fascism and Totalitarianism. We'll examine Italian Fascism with Mussolini's own "The Doctrine of Fascism" as well as Umberto Eco's 2001 essay "Ur-Fascism"; Nazism with the Extra History video series Nazi Occultism and Folding Ideas' video essay "Triumph of the Will and the Cinematic Language of Propaganda"; and, finally, we'll read an excerpt of Hannah Arendt's compendious The Origins of Totalitarianism. Along the way we'll discuss how to recognize signs and symptoms of Fascism (including those in the Trump administration), its allure and its techniques for staying in power, its reliance on irrationality, mythology, and mysticism, its fundamental flaws as a system of government and its tendency toward self-destructiveness, as well as what we might do to fight it when it arises.Additional readings include:Quotations from Chairman MaoArendt - Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of EvilStanley - How Propagada WorksKoestler - Darkness at NoonOrwell - 1984Zamyatin - WeBulgakov - The Master and MargaritaLiu - The Three-Body ProblemThe Great Dictator (1940)Papers, PleaseIf you're considering dedicating your whole life and well-being to my charismatic leadership, why not start by visiting my website: professorkozlowski.wordpress.com?

Is Trump a fascist? Is MAGA a fascist movement? Give a listen to the first half of this two-parter and decide for yourself.In the 1990s, Umberto Eco published the essay "Ur-Fascism," which explored fourteen common points of fascist movements and governments. In this episode, we present the first seven of those characteristics and then present Trump's own words, along with excerpts from the 2024 Republican Platform and words of prominent Trump supporters and administration members.

This week, Emily Hart speaks to multi-award-winning translator Frank Wynne about Latin America's most beloved cartoon - Mafalda - and how he brought her to life in English.    Dubbed ‘a hero of our time' by Italian philosopher Umberto Eco and ‘Charlie Brown with Socialism' by the New York Times, Mafalda is a precocious six-year-old girl living in 1960s Argentina - full of questions and observations about the world and the adults who surround her. She loves democracy; she hates soup and yoyos.   Though often lighthearted and sprinkled with slapstick and wordplay, her curiosity and questions are more than they initially appear: illustrator Joaquín Lavado, known as ‘Quino' uses her seemingly innocent interrogations to skewer the hypocrisies and nonsense of contemporary politics.    In the voice of a cartoon child, these questions and criticisms ran under the radar, but in 1970s Argentina, even her voice felt too critical: Quino left the country, which then suffered a coup and a subsequent military junta. He later said he would have been arrested had he continued to publish Mafalda; many of his friends and collaborators were.   Though the cartoon strip only ran for ten years, and Quino himself died in 2020, Mafalda has a huge and lasting legacy across the world - from Argentina where it began, to Chile where it was banned, and here in Colombia too: you can see statues and graffiti of her in Buenos Aires, and buy her merchandise down the banks of the River Seine.    Frank will be telling us about this Latin American icon and the process of translating her into English – the first translation ever published, which came out in June of this year. He'll be tackling the tensions inherent in translating comedy – especially in cartoon strip form – as well talking about the stealthy satire and societal critique which Mafalda was able to enact: a crucial humanist and critical voice, disguised as a child.   We'll also talk about how Mafalda's relevance reaches way beyond her context and time, about modern censorship and satire amid deepening repression, and why now is the perfect time for Mafalda to reach English-speaking audiences - particularly (perhaps) in the United States.   Frank also tells us who Mafalda would have been if she was born today, and who she'd have been if she grew up…    Plus the Colombia Briefing - also reported by Emily Hart.   

O lugar onde uma história acontece é importante pra leitura? Neste segundo episódio da série P.E.N.T.E., Arthur Marchetto e Cecilia Garcia Marcon investigam o elemento Espaço na construção literária.A dupla examina como ambientes físicos e sociais são construídos nas narrativas, discutindo se um espaço pode funcionar como personagem e como ele dialoga com contextos históricos e culturais. A conversa percorre diferentes gêneros literários — do realismo ao fantástico — e analisa a evolução da representação de lugares ao longo da história da literatura, desde paisagens clássicas até territórios contemporâneos.Os participantes exploram técnicas que autores usam para fazer cenários marcantes e importante, citando também Umberto Eco e a ideia da literatura como um bosque.Então, Aperte o play e conte pra gente: qual espaço literário que você gostaria de habitar?---Links⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apoie o 30:MIN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Siga a gente nas redes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Já apoia?
