Nooit alleen is een ontroerend verhaal over clubliefde en vaderschap. Uitgegeven door Thomas Rap Spreker: Yannick de Waal

Gender en alles wat erbij komt kijken is een gevoelig, complex en voor velen een moeilijk te begrijpen onderwerp. Wat is gender? Wat is het verschil tussen gender en geslacht? En wat heeft seksuele voorkeur daarmee te maken? En waarom iets leren van chimpansees? In deze aflevering proberen we er wat licht op te schijnen. Psychologen Lennard Toma en Thijs Launspach duiken het onderwerp in via primatoloog Frans de Waal, die met zijn boek Anders laat zien dat in het dierenrijk verschillen in gender, seksuele voorkeur en geslacht heel normaal zijn.

In deze aflevering ga ik in gesprek met Rodante van der Waal, vroedvrouw, filosoof en auteur van Baas in eigen buik. Vanuit haar onderzoek naar reproductieve rechtvaardigheid en obstetrisch geweld werpt ze een kritische blik op onze geboortezorg. We hebben het over de manier waarop zorgverleners al tijdens hun opleiding gevormd worden, over geboorteplannen, over obstetrisch geweld en over de pijnlijke realiteit dat vrouwen nog te vaak niet serieus genomen worden wanneer ze bevallen. Daarnaast hebben we het over relationele zorg en over wat er nodig is om de geboortezorg menselijker, veiliger en rechtvaardiger te maken. https://rodantevanderwaal.com/ Voor mijn online aanbod, neem zeker een kijkje op www.buikgewoel.be/cursus Zo heb ik een online geboortecursus én een borstvoedingscursus.

You can find Alyson Richman at www.alysonrichman.com or on IG @alysonrichman.   If you're a historical fiction lover, you've probably read something by Alyson Richman. She's the author of 11 novels, including The Missing Pages, which was published last fall. We were delighted that she agreed to come on the show and speak to us about this book, although we did sneak in a question about The Velvet Hours published in 2016, which our book club read many years ago. It is about a real Paris courtesan in the Belle Epoque who in her later years as World War II approaches shares her life story with her granddaughter.   The Missing Pages is a historical fiction novel that is about a man's love of books, but it is also a ghost tale, a romance, and a story of the Titanic all rolled into one. Richman is known for making the reader feel the sumptuous details of the world she is writing about, and she does it again in this book.   Our book rec segment of the show is all about musicians, but we're not talking solely about musician memoirs, although we do have one of those. We've got a children's nonfiction book about a Ukrainian pianist who performed for Nazsis, a National Book Award winner, a mystery about a stolen violin, a story about a wedding singer whose own relationship is on the rocks, and a coming of age story set in the 1970s that includes a rock star.    Books Mentioned in This Episode: 1- The Missing Pages by Alyson Richman  2- The Velvet Hours by Alyson Richman  3- The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray  4- All the Beauty in the World by Patrick Bringley  5- Buckeye by Patrick Ryan  6- The Hare with the Amber Eyes by Edmund de Waal  7- Underlake by Erin L.

Vörigen Dünnersdag is in Dänemark 'n dooden Waal strand‘, ne – 'n Puckelwaal. Urlaubers hebbt em entdeckt. Un as sick dat rutstellt hett, weer dat de Waal, denn se vör Poel rett‘ hebbt, üm em in de Nordsee to bring‘. As sick wieder rutstellt hett, wull he dat gor ni, denn he is in de Ostsee trüchschwummen. Un op den ganzen Rummel, de üm em mokt wurr, harr de Waal wohrschienli gern verzicht‘. Wohrschienli wull he ook gor ni „Timmy“ oder „Hope“ nöömt warrn. Na jo, nu bün ick würkli keen‘, de achteran gern seggt: „Ick heff mi doch glieks dacht, wat dat nix ward.“ Overs ick heff mi glieks dacht, wat dat nix ward. Wat mi interesseern wurr, is, wo veel Tiern bi all dat Kleihn mit de Baggers in Seegrund över de Kling‘ sprungen sünd. No den ersten Versöch in de Lübecker Bucht, schull de Waal je sien Roh‘ hebben. Denn hett man overs doch so'n poor Minschen moken loten, weil de ganze Tüünkrom vun twee Lüüd finanzeert wurr, för de Geld keen groote Rull speelt. Nömli vun Walter Gunz, de bummeli 500 Millioon Euro swor is un vun Karin Walter-Mommert, de ehr Famielje dat op wiet över anterthalv Milliarden bringt. De „Reddung“ vun den Puckelwaal hett de beiden tosom 1,5 Millioon kost. Dat hebbt se mol even ut de Portokass betohlt. Veellicht wulln se dormit je ook 'n beten Reklame för sick moken. Walter Gunz hett achteran seggt, dat he jedertied weller so veel Geld utgeeven wurr, üm 'n Waal to hölpen. Na denn man to. Jedet Johr strand‘ mehr as 2000 Waale un Delfine. Dor is Gunz sien poor Hunnert Millioon licht mang Niejohr Enn Februar los. Wat 'n verrückted Politikum ut de ganze Sook worrn is, ne. Dor sünd sogor 'n ganzen Schwung KI-genereerte Leeders över mokt worrn. Een so'n Leed heet „Er hat es sich nicht ausgesucht“. Richti. „Dat“ hett de Waal sick wiss ni utsöcht. Also mi dücht, wenn de dorsten Millionäre ehr Geld unbedingt loswarrn wüllt, denn schüllt se dat Schooln un Kinnergoorns geeven, un vun mi ut künnt se dor denn ook 'n poor scheune Leeders över moken… In düssen Sinn

INTRO: Concerns have been raised over a marked rise in adulterated diesel in South Africa, following investigations by Bidvest Protea Coin that found over 100 suspected illicit fuel depots. Speaking to other news outlets , Bidvest Protea Coin chief operating officer, Waal de Waal, expressed his concerns over these findings. He added that this could have a massive impact and widespread damage to South African vehicles. An investigation by the Department of Mineral Resource and Energy in 2024 also uncovered several petrol stations across the country were selling dodgy diesel to customers. For reaction Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Avhapfani Tshifularo, Chief Executive Officer for Fuels industry association of South Africa

Wat is di dat blots mit den dorsten Puckelwaal? Also de, de vör Poel op Grund liggt, dor, wo de Ostseewelln an de Strand treckt. Ick meen, ick bün wiss 'n Tierfründ, ne, overs man kann dat ook överdrieven. Bi dat, wat dor in de Bucht vun Wismar vör sick geiht un wat sick vörher al in de Lübecker Bucht todogen hett, kunn ick Hannen un Fööt övern Kopp tosomhaun. Nu bün ick keen Fachmann för Waale, overs wenn dat Tier sick weller un weller op'n Sandbank leggt, denn hett dat doch wat to seggen. Mi kümmt dat vör, as wurrn all de Hobby-Jacques-Cousteaus vun morns bet obends versööken 'n Oma över de Stroot to hölpen, de gor ni op de anner Sied will. Un wat mutt de Waal Stress hebben, weil dor Dag un Nacht Gummiboote üm em rümsuust. Siet güstern is ook al weller 'n Spöölbagger bi em. Dat is al de drütte Bagger, de üm em rümkleiht un den ganzen Grund twei ritt. De Waal dinkt wohrschienli, wat he dat siet veer Weeken mit waschechte Seeungeheuers to kriegen hett. Groote Ungeheuers de Larm mokt un lütte Ungeheuers mit 'n Snorchel an Kopp. „Timmy“ hebbt de een‘ dat Tier nöömt, anner seggt „Hope“ to em. Lüüd, dat is 'n wildet Tier un keen Steiff-Teddy. Un wat hebbt sick de Lüüd in't Internet in de Flicken. All de, de över Nacht to Puckelwaal-Experten worrn sünd. De beschimpt un beleidigt sick gegensiedig, dor fallt di nix mehr to in. Dorto sellt sick nu ook noch ganz besünners spezielle Spezialisten, de schrievt: „Ick stoh in Kontakt mit ‚Hope‘ sien Geist. Em geiht dat good.“ Un denn schickt se em „Energie“. Vun't Sofa in Castrop-Rauxel oder wat weet ick woher. De sitt wohrschienli mit Bod'büx un Snorchel vör'n Computer. Ohauhehaueha. Wenn de Waal wusst harr, wat em bleuht, denn harr he sick dat wohrschienli tweemol överleggt, utgereekend bi uns op Grund to loopen. Veellicht künnt em all de Hölpers intwüschen mol den Puckel dohlrutschen. Mi deiht he leed. Un dat ni blots, weil he sick verschwummen hett. Puckelwaale schüllt je ganz intelligent ween, ne. Tscha, veellicht hebbt se uns dor je wat vörut… In düssen Sinn

Zwangerschap is als filosofisch onderwerp zo goed als onbehandeld. In de wetenschappen blijft het mannelijk perspectief, ook op bijvoorbeeld de zwangerschap en het vrouwenlichaam, dominant. Waarom zijn zogenaamde ‘vrouwenissues' nog altijd een ondergeschoven kindje?Traditionele wijsgeren reppen met geen woord over de belichaamde ervaring van zwangerschap: de negen maanden die je doorbrengt ín en mét een ander. Ons aller ontstaansgeschiedenis heeft nooit voet aan de grond gekregen als volwaardig thema. In Uit het midden betoogt filosoof Marie Lucassen dat juist in de periode vóór onze geboorte de oorsprong van onszelf en de filosofie te vinden is, in de periode tussen er-zijn en er-niet-zijn.Welke consequenties heeft dat besef voor het westerse perspectief op de mens als individueel, losstaand, afgebakend en autonoom? En waarom worden bepaalde thema's – ook als ze ons allemaal raken – weggezet als ‘typische vrouwenonderwerpen', als onwaardige subjecten van serieuze, filosofische reflectie?In gesprek met filosoof Marie Lucassen, wetenschapper en verloskundige Bahareh Goodarzi, hoogleraar wetenschapsonderzoek Trudy Dehue, vroedvrouw en filosoof Rodante van der Waal, historicus Lotte Houwink ten Cate en met intermezzo van theatermaker Meral Polat.Programmamaker: Anne Grietje FranssenModerator: Ianthe MosselmanIn samenwerking met: AthenaeumZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What makes people pay a lot of attention to some wars and crises, but not others? And what does that attention actually do for the people in those situations? We're looking at Sudan, which has entered its fourth year of a civil war this week. But, unlike in Gaza, the violence and famine there has struggled to break through headlines in the U.S. We talk to Sudanese journalist Isma'il Kushkush, political scientist Scott Strauss, Sudan expert Alexander de Waal, and political scientist Mai Hassan.To manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Wie is de slimste van de klas in het dierenrijk? Wij mensen? Maar weten wij wel wat slim is? Een bij die rekensommen oplost vinden wij geniaal. Maar wat denkt die bij van ons mensen die niet eens de feromonen kunnen begrijpen die zij gebruiken om te communiceren? Met andere woorden: zijn wij als mens wel slim genoeg om te weten wie de slimste dieren zijn? Dat is ook de titel van een boek van primatoloog Frans de Waal uit 2016. Bioloog Jeroen Stevens herlas het.

„Der Vergleich ist der Dieb der Freude“ soll Theodor Roosevelt gesagt haben. Ist das so? Immer? Fest steht: Wir vergleichen uns nach oben. Wir vergleichen uns nach unten. Und wenn's richtig unfair wird, gibt's ein Affen-Theater! Franca und Christian sprechen heute darüber, warum es fast körperlich weh tut, wenn wir „schlechter“ sind als andere und so wohlig, wenn wir „besser“ sind. In dieser Folge geht es weniger darum, dass wir uns nicht mehr vergleichen, als vielmehr darum, es bewusst mitzubekommen.

1) La fin du règne du mâle alpha On a longtemps cru que parce quʹils étaient généralement plus grands, les mâles dominaient à peu près systématiquement chez les primates. Or, Une étude sur 121 espèces révèle qu'il y en a beaucoup où le pouvoir est nettement plus partagé entre les deux sexes – et un nombre non négligeable de cas où ce sont les femelles qui dominent. Alors comment sʹy prennent-elles? Les explications des primatologues Erica van de Waal, de lʹUniversité de Neuchâtel, et Elise Huchard, de lʹInstitut des sciences de lʹévolution de Montpellier, au micro de Lucia Sillig. 2) Combattre les clichés autour des troubles alimentaires Les troubles des conduites alimentaires restent souvent mal compris et entourés de nombreux clichés. Un nouveau livret publié par la Clinique Belmont à Genève propose de mieux expliquer ces maladies, à partir de l'expérience de patients et de patientes. Il rappelle notamment une idée centrale : un trouble alimentaire n'est pas une identité mais une maladie dont on peut se rétablir. Un sujet Arditë Shabani.

Descubre Como Entender de Verdad Un Trastorno de Ansiedad y Tomar Acción En Nuestro Curso Gratuito El Mapa de La Ansiedad: https://escuelaansiedad.com/Cursos/el-mapa-de-la-ansiedad La historia de Punch, un pequeño macaco de un zoológico japonés abrazado a un peluche de IKEA, ha emocionado a millones de personas. Pero este vídeo no habla solo de un mono, de un peluche o de una escena viral. Habla de algo mucho más profundo: de la necesidad biológica de sentir seguridad, del apego, de la soledad, del miedo a la exclusión y de por qué a veces sobrevivimos gracias a refugios emocionales que parecen pequeños… pero lo cambian todo. En este vídeo de AMADAG TV exploramos cómo el caso de Punch conecta con una verdad incómoda sobre el ser humano: nadie aprende a sostenerse solo si antes no ha sido sostenido. Analizamos por qué el contacto, la cercanía y la sensación de protección no son un lujo emocional, sino una necesidad básica del sistema nervioso. Desde los experimentos de Harry Harlow hasta la teoría del apego, veremos por qué un simple objeto puede convertirse en un regulador emocional cuando el mundo se vuelve demasiado hostil. También reflexionamos sobre algo muy actual: vivimos hiperconectados, pero muchas veces profundamente solos. Tenemos pantallas, notificaciones, mensajes y estímulos constantes, pero cada vez más personas sienten que no pertenecen, que no encuentran un lugar seguro o que viven emocionalmente abrazadas a sus propias “felpas”: rutinas, móviles, series, vínculos ambiguos o refugios que calman… pero no siempre reparan. Este vídeo te ayudará a entender por qué la exclusión social duele tanto, por qué la empatía hacia Punch fue tan intensa y qué nos revela esta historia sobre nuestra propia ansiedad, nuestras relaciones y nuestra forma de buscar consuelo. Porque la resiliencia no consiste en no necesitar nada, sino en encontrar un apoyo cuando el mundo aprieta, usarlo sin vergüenza y, cuando llega el momento, volver a acercarse a los demás. Si alguna vez has sentido soledad, miedo al rechazo, necesidad de refugiarte en algo para poder seguir o la sensación de estar sobreviviendo más que viviendo, este vídeo es para ti. Y si quieres comprender de verdad cómo funciona la ansiedad, el apego, el sistema nervioso y la manera en que construimos seguridad emocional, te invitamos a dar un paso más. Nuestro curso gratuito puede ayudarte a entender lo que te pasa y empezar a transformarlo.

Do animals feel love, anger, or empathy? Researchers have long dismissed such ideas as anthropomorphism, arguing that attributing human emotions to animals was unscientific.But as we learn more about animal sentience, that's starting to change — and, in the process, we're learning more than ever about the complex inner lives of animals, including why we may be more alike than we once thought.On this episode, we explore what researchers have discovered about what's really going on inside other species' heads. We talk with a primatologist about why she believes baboons and other animals possess a theory of mind; investigate whether crabs, lobsters, and shrimp are capable of experiencing pain; and hear about one beagle's journey from lab subject to pet. Host Maiken Scott and reporter Alan Yu visit  the Chamounix Equestrian Center in Philadelphia to test an app that claims to detect pain in horses. When primatologist Christine Webb was in college, she was taught that it was "unscientific" to investigate animal emotions — but that attitude has started to change. We talk with Webb about what's causing that shift, what she learned from her mentor, the famed primatologist Frans de Waal, and the challenges involved with stepping outside our human biases to understand the inner lives of animals. Webb is an assistant professor in the Department of Environmental Studies at New York University, and her new book is “The Arrogant Ape: The Myth of Human Exceptionalism and Why it Matters.” Reporter Sophia Schmidt pays a visit to the Elmwood Park Zoo in Norristown, Pennsylvania to meet an unlikely pair of besties: Hunter, the red-tailed hawk, and Stan, the turkey vulture. We hear about why Hunter and Stan's relationship is so rare, how they became friends (and, sometimes, more than friends), and what biological factors could be driving their behavior. It's easy enough to believe that animals like cats and dogs have feelings — but what about less cuddly creatures, like crabs, lobsters, and shrimp? Pulse reporter Liz Tung talks with researchers who've been investigating the question of sentience in decapod crustaceans, and whether or not they're capable of feeling pain. We talk with journalist Melanie Kaplan about her investigation into the world of animal research, spurred by her adoption of Hammy — a beagle who spent the first four years of his life in a lab. Her book is, “Lab Dog: A Beagle and His Human Investigate the Surprising World of Animal Research.”

Jonathan Leaf is a playwright, screenwriter, author and journalist, who's won a slew of awards, has been compared to Saul Bellow for his “literacy and seriousness,” has written a half-dozen books, and also written for The New Yorker, The New York Post, The New York Daily News, The American, National Review, The New Partisan, The New York Press, The Weekly Standard and The New York Sun.His latest book, The Primate Myth, upends the common knowledge that humans are a subspecies of ape. Primatologists Jane Goodall and Frans de Waal were completely wrong. If anything, we are a subspecies of dog. Modern technology proves it, and, by giving us an accurate portrait of human nature, explains our penchant for sports, fashion, war, altruism, financial bubbles, suicide and homosexuality, among many other things.

To understand Sudan today, we begin with the past. In this opening episode, Alex de Waal traces Sudan's long cycle of coups, uprisings, and unfinished revolutions. From colonial rule to the fall of Omar al-Bashir. Together, we unpack how power, identity, and resistance have shaped the modern Sudanese state, and why history here never truly stays in the past.

Famine, mass killings and the collapse of basic government services have pushed Sudan into what the UN now calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis. As regional powers across the Middle East fuel the conflict by backing rival factions, civilians have largely been left to fend for themselves. Gideon speaks to Sudanese political analyst Kholood Khair and Sudan expert Alex de Waal to understand how the country reached this point — and where the country and its people go from here.

„Nu ik moeder ben geworden denk ik vaak aan mijn abortussen terug,” zegt Rodante van der Waal. Het spijtargument bij abortus noemt zij „paternalistische, emotionele manipulatie”. In werkelijkheid valt die spijt volgens haar mee, maar wordt die door moralisme zwaarder gewogen dan spijt over andere levenskeuzes. Ze merkt op dat het abortusdebat dan ook niet over de bescherming van leven gaat, maar over macht: „Het gaat om welk leven het waard is om beschermd te worden.”Ook in de geboortezorg zijn vrouwen volgens Van der Waal nog geen baas in eigen buik. Ze spreekt over „institutioneel geweld”, zoals „inwendig onderzoek of een knip zonder toestemming”. „Eén op de tien bevallingen in Nederland wordt als traumatisch ervaren,” zegt ze, „niet door het natuurgeweld, maar door de communicatie. Dat klompje cellen vinden we belangrijker dan het volwassen leven van de vrouw.” Heeft u vragen, suggesties of ideeën over onze journalistiek?

This week on The Horn, we post a recent discussion between Crisis Group's CEO and President, Comfort Ero, and leading expert Alex de Waal, about ongoing efforts to bring Sudan's war to an end.In this bonus episode of The Horn, Alan brings listeners a special episode from a panel on Sudan's war hosted by Crisis Group earlier this month at the Qatar Mediation Forum, a sideline event at the Doha Forum. The discussion is moderated by Yasmine Farouk, Crisis Group's Gulf Director, and features Comfort Ero, Crisis Group's President and CEO, alongside Alex de Waal, a leading expert on Sudan. They examine why Sudan's war is so hard to stop, looking at repeated past failures to secure a ceasefire. They discuss how state authority has eroded across large swathes of the country, what the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces' model of control looks like and how the war has become an internationalised proxy struggle shaped by Gulf, regional and global interests. They also debate the merits and limits of the current mediation architecture, including with formats like the Quad. They explore the risks of transactional engagement, the dilemmas around arms flows and embargo proposals, and the difficulty of making peace between fractious coalitions. Finally, they reflect on the scale of the humanitarian catastrophe in Sudan and highlight Sudanese-led resilience efforts, from emergency response rooms to local market and food-production adaptations, as essential to sustaining lives even as the politics remain deadlocked.

The late world-renowned primatologist Professor Frans de Waal (1948-2024) explores the nature of sex and gender among our cousins the apes, and how gender diversity is a common and pervasive potential on nature's masculine-feminine continuum. In the quest to overcome human gender inequality, he suggests that our focus needs to be on the inequality. Featuring The late Frans B. M. de Waal, Ph.D., was a Dutch/American biologist and primatologist widely renowned for his work on the behavior and social intelligence of primates. C. H. Candler Professor Emeritus at Emory University, de Waal was elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and was declared one of The Worlds' 100 Most Influential People Today by Time magazine in 2007.

When Joshua Plotnik was a kid, he wanted to become a veterinarian and day dreamed of a future caring for animals large and small. By the time he got to college, he eagerly worked with every type of vet he could think of, from small animal vets to large animal horse veterinarians. On a summer break from his undergraduate studies at Cornell University, he interned as a zookeeper at the Central Park Zoo, and a mentor there encouraged him to reach out to the internationally-acclaimed primatologist Dr. Franz de Waal, known for his research on cooperation in primates. When the young student approached Dr. de Waal to ask if he might take him on as a PhD candidate, Dr. de Waal extended an invitation — the chance of a lifetime. Dr. Plotnik started researching chimpanzee behavior — where a lot of psychology researchers land, he says. But Dr. Plotnik's interests soon expanded to question how those similarities evolve across these different species, if it's not due to a common ancestor?   With that fascination driving his work, Dr. Plotnik soon asked  Dr. de Waal for his support setting up a field site where he could immerse himself in researching the behavioral flexibility of one the largest animals he'd worked with yet: Elephants. And so, for the last two decades, Dr. Plotnik's research has focused on wild and captive elephants primarily located in Thailand. Now an associate professor of psychology and the director of the Comparative Cognition for Conservation Lab at Hunter College, City University of New York, he's currently wrapping up a years-long study about elephant intelligence.

I interviewed Martijn de Waal about revitalizing civic engagement through immersive art on Sunday, November 16, 2025 at IDFA DocLab in Amsterdam, Netherlands. This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon. Music: Fatality

Not long ago culture was considered rare in nature, maybe even uniquely human. But that's changed. We now know that the tree of life is buzzing with culture—and not just on a few lonely branches. Creatures great and small learn songs, migration routes, and feeding techniques from each other. Many species build up reservoirs of knowledge over generations. This has profound implications, not just for understanding of the natural world, but also for our efforts to protect it.  My guest today is Dr. Philippa Brakes. Philippa is an Honorary Lecturer at the University of Exeter, with one foot in science and another in conservation. She's both a behavioral ecologist, focusing on whales and dolphins, and a leading voice—for more than a decade now—urging conservationists to take animal cultures seriously.  Here, Philippa and I talk about how researchers define culture and social learning in animals. We tour the mounting evidence for culture across species—in birds, in apes, in fish, possibly even in insects. We discuss the methods that scientists use to infer that behaviors are socially learned. We consider how animal culture complicates the conservation enterprise. We also discuss the idea that animal cultures have intrinsic value—not value for us humans, not value that can be easily quantified, but value for the animals themselves. Along the way Philippa and I talk about the notion of "cultural rescue"; indigenous understandings of animal culture; cases where social learning is maladaptive; human-animal mutualism; fashion trends; the idea of conserving "cultural capacity"; elephant matriarchs and other "keystone individuals"; golden lion tamarins, herring, and regent honey-eaters; and the question of why some orcas where salmon as hats. Alright friends, this topic has been on our wish list for a while now. Hope you enjoy it!   Notes  2:30 – For academic articles by Dr. Brakes and colleagues on the importance of animal culture for conservation, see here, here, and here.

New @TalkArt podcast episode! We meet legendary artist, potter and author @EdmunddeWaal at his studio in South London!!We explore more than 40 years of making pots, and learn about the first major exhibition of acclaimed Danish ceramicist Axel Salto (1889 – 1961), considered one of the greatest masters of 20th-century ceramic art. This epic new show curated by #EdmunddeWaal (b.1964, Nottingham) is now open at the Hepworth Wakefield, including a major new installation by de Waal reflecting on Salto's enduring influence.Salto was a radical polymathic figure who crossed boundaries from one discipline to another, producing an extraordinary body of ceramic work alongside paintings, wood- cuts, drawings, book illustration and textiles. Salto is internationally renowned for his highly individual and expressive stoneware inspired by organic forms, characterised by budding, sprouting and fluted surface textures that appear to ripple and burst with life.In his own visual art and literary works, Edmund de Waal uses objects as vehicles for human narrative, emotion, and history. His installations of handmade porcelain vessels, often contained in minimalist structures, investigate themes of diaspora, memory, and materiality.De Waal's sculptural practice, writing, and art historical research are deeply intertwined, as he works across mediums and collaborates with museums, poets, performers, musicians, and other visual artists, both living and deceased. Much of de Waal's work is concerned with collecting and collections—how objects are kept together, lost, stolen, or dispersed. His ceramics and writing expand upon conceptual and physical dialogues among minimalism, architecture, and sound, imbuing them with a sense of quiet calm. Manifest across de Waal's practice is a distinct aesthetic philosophy that puts the hand, the sense of touch, and thus the human above all else. His work is about connecting people by reviving and telling stories that matter.Playing with Fire: Edmund de Waal and Axel Salto is now open and runs until 4th May 2026 at Hepworth Wakefield.Follow @EdmundDeWaal and @HepworthWakefield on Instagram.

Alex de Waal, executive director of the World Peace Foundation and Research Professor at the Fletcher School, Tufts University, historicises the way “famine” in the postcolonial era was an extremely emotional word for which, fifty years ago, there were no appropriate structures nor any objective scientific metric for understanding where or when famine was occurring. By 1984-1985, however, the neoliberal governments of Thatcher and Reagan became deeply embarrassed by the famine in Ethiopia, de Waal narrates. From this embarrassment, an industry of refining the metrics of understanding what counted as famine, and what did not, was born, and from this, the IPC, or Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, was developed as the standardised UN system used to classify the severity of food insecurity and malnutrition in a specific area. De Waal discusses how the international aid system has been shackled into into viewing famine in a very apolitical way, refusing to exam the structural causes driving famine largely because international NGOs steered away from criticising governments in order to maintain cooperation for their relief work and that Western publics give assistance to victims of natural disasters as part of the “white saviour” theatre which depends upon eliding the political causes. Declaiming the importance of photography in chronicling the history of famine—from the Warsaw Ghetto, to the famine in Ethiopia (1983-1985), and Gaza—de Waal observes the dual role of these photos: first, that the perpetrator of famine was not only absent from the frame, but was often the person taking the photo; and second, that because the perpetrator was rarely within the frame, the subjects of these photos were often blamed as the true perpetrators of famine, such that Jews attempting to preserve a “veneer of normality” in the Warsaw Ghetto or Palestinians in Gaza who are more portly, were ultimatley inculpated as the cause of the famine. Considering the merits of Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWSNET), he notes that it lacks the key element of examining the policies and intention of those doing the starvation. De Waal underscores that “to starve” does not just refer to the experience of people starving, but it also means the act of starving people, as he goes on to describe how the East India Company, through onerous taxation from 1769 to 1770, created a famine in Bihar and Bengal, ultimately killing one-third of the population.

The Trump administration has ordered a reduction in flights at 40 major airports across the country. Reuters reports on how the flight cuts could begin as soon as Friday unless Congress reaches a deal on the government shutdown. The paramilitary RSF has taken control of the city of El Fasher in Sudan. BBC analyst Alex de Waal explains why it marks a turning point in the country’s civil war. Food delivery has overtaken restaurant dining in a big way. The Atlantic’s Ellen Cushing joins to discuss how restaurants altered their businesses to cater to at-home diners. Plus, Supreme Court justices expressed doubts over Trump’s tariffs, a judge criticized the Justice Department’s “highly unusual” handling of the Comey case, and the scramble to secure the last remaining pennies. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.

【主播的话】整整两年之前，2023年的十月份，以色列跟巴勒斯坦之间爆发了新一轮的严重冲突，并恶化为一场旷日持久的战争、以及一场接一场的人道惨剧。那天之后，世界似乎开始了一种持续至今的撕裂。在加沙，成千上万的人每天都在受难，饥饿、暴力、失踪、流离失所、残疾、死亡。与此同时，这场战争的回声，也在战场之外的地方不断回荡——在中东邻国、在美国、在欧洲，在大学校园里，在政治辩论中，在社交媒体上。过去两年里，围绕加沙的争论几乎无处不在：抗议、辞职、取消、抓捕、撤资。它不仅是外交政策的争议，更成了一场关于身份、道德与立场的内战。对许多年轻人来说，这不仅是关于中东的问题，而是关于“我们是谁”，以及“我们还能相信什么样的正义”。今天的节目分为两个部分。第一部分，主要谈中东。我们邀请了中东观察家刘怡，来梳理加沙战争两周年的重要节点，从巴以出发，探讨它对中东局势的影响。第二部分，重点在美国。我们邀请了常驻纽约的美国观察家思骋，来解读加沙战争对美国内政外交的影响。【本期主播】王磬：微博@王磬【本期嘉宾】刘怡：前《三联生活周刊》资深主笔，全球冲突报道者思骋：美国政治观察家，常驻纽约【本期剧透】03:32 加沙战局转向虚无，冲突轨迹受特朗普决策主导，军事行动与政治目标逐渐脱节09:18 加沙正在面临怎样的人道灾难？以色列系统性制造饥荒的现状11:22 战前加沙的畸形供给体系：以色列默许哈马斯控制国际援助流通，形成“物资可进、人员禁入”的共谋式封锁17:45 开战后，加沙生存体系崩溃，黑市物价暴涨50倍19:20 外援切断，美国仅派驻4个物资救援点，平民陷入平静的绝望24:39 犹太人定居点不断增加，西岸巴控区萎缩，武装定居者与隔离墙形成“蚕食式占领”新常态29:24 以色列社会的极端化转向，右翼基本盘稳固化，政治光谱整体右移34:01 巴勒斯坦群体的立场分化：海外巴勒斯坦裔激进口号与本土民众务实诉求42:35 阿拉伯世界的“道义卸责”：亚伯拉罕协议如何改变海湾国家对巴以问题的传统立场？48:10 哈马斯与伊朗构建的宗教抵抗同盟，如何替代传统阿拉伯民族主义？52:29 西方话语道德滑坡，两年间巴勒斯坦苦难从“被忽视”到“被犯罪化”57:40 2025年夏季为舆论分水岭，特朗普政府强硬压制舆论引发民意反弹01:02:05 “以色列替西方干脏活”：战后自由主义需要暴力维系01:06:56 在西方世界，为什么对反以色列政府的言论打压，比在以色列境内还要严厉？01:12:27 美国犹太社群的代际裂变，支持以色列如何从族群共识沦为矛盾源01:18:48 反犹主义如何被定义？又如何成为政治打压的工具？01:25:24 美国民主党出现政治代沟，年轻人在巴以议题和经济前景上面临双重挫败感【相关阅读】 Alex de Waal英国人类学家、公共政策学者与人权活动家，目前于美国马萨诸塞州塔夫茨大学法与外交学院（The Fletcher School）任研究教授。他自 1980 年代起在苏丹及非洲之角（Horn of Africa）地区开展“饥荒”研究，探讨饥荒的政治、社会与人权维度。研究立场强调：现代饥荒并非单纯由自然灾害或粮食短缺引起，而往往是政策失败、冲突、封锁与权力结构所致。其在饥荒领域的重要作品包括：《Mass Starvation: The History and Future of Famine》（2018）系统地回顾现代饥荒的历史：饥荒为何在 20 世纪下半叶大幅减少；为何在近年来又出现复苏；并指出饥荒多数为“人为”而非“自然”现象。《Famine Crimes: Politics and the Disaster Relief Industry in Africa》（1997）在本书中，de Waal 批判了传统救灾机构对饥荒背后政治与权力结构的掩盖，强调饥荒中的致命性常源于战争、封锁、治理失败，而非单纯粮食供应不足。 Masha Gessen 出生于俄罗斯莫斯科、后来获得美国公民身份的记者、作家和公共知识分子。写作涉猎广泛，涵盖俄罗斯现代史、威权主义、性别与 LGBTQ 议题、美国与俄罗斯关系、乌克兰冲突等。自 2017 年起担任《The New Yorker》的正式撰稿人。其代表作包括《The Future Is History: How Totalitarianism Reclaimed Russia》（2017年获美国国家图书奖）等。她以批判权威主义、剖析自由与专制之间的张力著称。 《Trouble in the Tribe: The American Jewish Conflict over Israel》作者：Dov Waxman出版信息：Princeton University Press，2016 年Dov Waxman 为 UCLA 以色列研究教授，研究方向包括以色列政治、美国—以色列关系与美国犹太社群。Waxman 通过大量访谈与民调数据，分析近年来美国犹太社群围绕以色列问题的深刻分歧：一方面年长与更传统的群体维持强烈支持，另一方面年轻与自由派群体越来越公开批评以色列政策。书中探讨了文化、人口学、组织与政治因素如何导致“以色列不再成为团结来源、而日益成为分裂来源”的局面，对美国犹太政治与以美关系的未来提出判断。 《最后的乌托邦：历史中的人权》The Last Utopia: Human Rights in History作者：Samuel Moyn出版信息：商务印书馆，2016 年Samuel Moyn 是美国耶鲁大学（Yale University）法律与历史双聘教授，专攻现代欧洲思想史、国际法与人权史。本书提出一个颇具挑战性的观点：当今“人权”作为普遍正义话语并非源远流长，而是在1960 年代末至 1970 年代初，在全球政治与意识形态乌托邦（社会主义、民族解放运动）瓦解之后，才真正成为国际社会关注的核心。作者通过回顾冷战背景下欧洲、拉丁美洲、美国等地的个案，指出人权运动如何在旧有政治理想失败的废墟上兴起，并探讨其作为“最后的乌托邦”之意味 —— 即人权为何成为替代以往政治理想的新信仰。【特别鸣谢】蓝书屋基金会（Blaues Haus Stiftung）【本期音乐】Bleu-KomikuScreen Saver-Kevin MacLeod【节目制作】方改则【Logo设计】刘刘（ins: imjanuary)【互动方式】小红书@不合时宜微博@不合时宜TheWeirdo商务合作可发邮件至 hibuheshiyi@126.com 或微博私信会员计划咨询可添加微信：hibuheshiyi3 或发送邮件至 hibuhehsiyi@gmail.com

What does it mean to be a man, and how has the concept of masculinity changed over time? They look at the male loneliness epidemic, the current influx of male influencers spreading right-wing rhetoric on the manosphere, and some of the main features of masculinity. Is masculinity rooted in violence and homophobia, or is it possible to have a healthy model of masculinity? In the Substack bonus, your hosts get into the mythopoetic men's movement and the connection between haircuts and masculinity.Works Discussed:Robert Brannon and Deborah Sarah David, The Forty-nine Percent Majority: The Male Sex RolePierre Bourdieu, La domination masculineR.W.
