West African Griots - TWB S2 E2
In West Africa, speech goes deeper than just communication - the spoken word is imbued with the natural power to create and to give life. For centuries, West African storytellers have been advisors to kings, emperors, village elders and tribal chiefs. They have served as walking libraries, fonts of all knowledge, "the memory of humankind". And whilst the brutal slave trade of the 16th-19th centuries did its best to destroy West African culture, the legacy of the griots lives on in hip-hop, poetry and activism to this very day.
This is Part Two in the second season of Stories from the Hearth's bonus historical and interview series: The Wandering Bard. Each season of The Wandering Bard examines a different aspect of the history and nature of storytelling, as well as people behind it. In season two of The Wandering Bard, we ask the question “Who are the storytellers?”, and in today's episode, we examine the Griots of West Africa.
The next episode in The Wandering Bard series will take a look at the shadow puppetry of ancient China.
Stories from the Hearth is an experimental storytelling experience ft. truly original fiction and thoughtfully produced soundscapes. The aim of this podcast is to rekindle its listeners' love for the ancient art of storytelling (and story-listening), and to bring some small escapism to the frantic energies of the modern world. Stories from the Hearth is the brainchild of queer punk poet, environmentalist, and anarchist Cal Bannerman. Vive l'art!

Never Such Innnocence with Lady Lucy French
In this episode, Alice and Nicolas interview Lady Lucy French, OBE, about Never Such Innocence, a charity she founded in 2014 to give children and young people a voice on conflict. Participants come from all around the globe and they use art, public speaking, poetry and song to share how they feel about war and its impacts. Through workshops, community events and public award ceremonies, Never Such Innocences ensures that these young voices are heard by politicians, policy-makers and Armed Forces personnel, among others; world leaders have even begun to sit up and take notice. We are excited to share what we learnt about Never Such Innocence's mission and how they have been empowering children to change the ways we visualise war and peace.
Among other questions, we asked:
- Why is it important to give children a voice on conflict?
- How do children in different parts of the world define and understand conflict?
- What aspects of conflict do children and young people tend to highlight?
- Do they communicate different things in art compared with song, or poetry compared with speech writing?
- What kinds of audience can they reach?
- What can adults learn from children about conflict?
If you would like to see the images or read the full poems discussed in this podcast episode, you can find bonus material on our project blog.

Plagues and Pandemics
Join us for our first ever episode. Zofia focuses on the Antonine plague that struck the Roman Empire during the 2nd century CE as well as the story of Glycon, the original snake oil man. Liam explores how the concoction of deadly diseases and viruses that Europeans brought to the New World resulted in catastrophic consequences for the peoples and societies of the Americas. Tangents include: appropriate wigs for magic snakes, prophetic octopi, who REALLY 'discovered' the Americas and the question everyone is asking: do snakes control Trump?

Inventing Genocide - The Contingent Origins of a Concept During World War II - Holocaust Living History Workshop
The suite of international conventions and declarations about genocide, human rights, and refugees after the WWII is known as the “human rights revolution.” It is regarded as humanizing international affairs by implementing the lessons of the Holocaust. In this presentation, Dirk Moses, Professor of Modern History at the University of Sydney, questions this rosy picture by investigating how persecuted peoples have invoked the Holocaust and made analogies with Jews to gain recognition as genocide victims. Such attempts rarely succeed and have been roundly condemned as cheapening the Holocaust memory, but how and why does genocide recognition require groups to draw such comparisons? Does the human rights revolution and image of the Holocaust as the paradigmatic genocide humanize postwar international affairs as commonly supposed?

Politische Philosophie im Zeitalter der Globalisierung
Die Vortragsreihe am Center for Advanced Studies fragt nach den aktuellsten Entwicklungen in unterschiedlichen Bereichen der Wissenschaft. Gegenwärtige politische oder ökonomische Prozesse wie die Globalisierung, aber auch neue Entdeckungen wie die Entschlüsselung des menschlichen Genoms oder die Hypothesen der Stringtheorie fordern die wissenschaftliche Kreativität und Innovationsfähigkeit heraus. Welche Antworten haben die Wissenschaften auf diese Herausforderungen? Was ist der neueste Stand der Forschung, was ist cutting edge? | Center for Advanced Studies: 26.01.2012 | Speakers: Prof. Otfried Höffe | Moderation: Prof. Julian Nida-Rümelin
