Coffee as connection – tradition, controversy and literary representations.
Traversing the history of coffee through several literary examples, Professor Wen-chin Ouyang FBA explores coffee as not only a drink, but as tradition, commodity, and source of controversy. From the works of Mahmoud Darwish to Haruki Murakami, coffee has persisted as a social and intercultural tool. Hear more in her 10-Minute Talk.
Speaker: Wen-chin Ouyang FBA, Professor of Arabic and Comparative Literature, SOAS University of London

Why politics fails
Просмотров 119День назад
Sharing insights from his book 'Why Politics Fails', in this 10-Minute Talk Ben Ansell FBA unpacks the challenges of democracy. Given that humans rarely agree, there can be no such thing as the ‘will of the people’ - which is why it’s so difficult to override individual self-interest in favour of our collective interest in resolving some of our most pressing political problems. From the Polish-...
What makes us social? Autism, mentalising, and the need for new labels

How we understand autism has changed greatly over time. In this talk, Uta Frith FBA discusses developments in the scientific study of autism and its re-evaluation from a rarely diagnosed disorder to being conceptualised as a spectrum of neurodiversity. Autism can now be explored in relation to the mentalising system and other internal mechanisms that make us social. Speaker: Professor Uta Frith...

    Joe Gormley, in 1974, had a overtime ban to run coal stocks down, he had a national ballot , called a strike in the winter, and won. Scargill, with coal at record high, called a strike without a ballot, in the summer, and lost, who was Scargill working for, because it wasn't the miners.

    It's not a bad overview - but the feminist-reaching 'kept women as their own personal slaves' and the idea that working class men 'went around' is wholly inaccurate. Every system has its own advantages and disadvantages yet it is important to remain clear - If that society you grow is insular and self-serving then the consequences of straying away from community will come back to haunt you. > Mother XXXXX[] (Head-Principle, Court:1: of the Over-Seers).

    I was never a miner but come from a big mining area and witnessed the suffering of my friends from striking families. Anyone with half a brain, knew the strike would be lost from the outset. The first pit to strike held a ballot and the members voted NOT to strike. The result was dismissed by NUM officials who called a strike anyway. Scargill used the miners to fight a class war. All the pits are now gone and the mining villages and towns are better for it. No more dust and soot covered buildings and landscapes. Air you can breathe. Some miners moved on with their lives and careers to great success. Others stayed, to this day, mourning their rose tinted memories of being a miner. I never met a miner that wanted his son to become a miner.

    The miners strike was won and lost (at least five years before it took place). Arthur Scargill was arrigant and thought 'might was right'. Margaret Thatcher did not under estimate the oposition and strenth of it. Thatcher prepared for the upcoming 'war'. The miners strike would have colapsed after five months if the miners wives haden't supported their men folk.

    When I was a child, about 4 years old, my mother was studying at night school, I remember standing at the window and seeing what I now realise was a visual hallucination. I was in the living room with my dad watching TV, I was at the window the curtains were closed, but I was behind the curtain, we lived in a large Victorian house and the windows were quite large. I was looking out to see if I could see my mother coming home, as I missed her, I could see a girl and boy, holding hands crossing the road, the girl was older, I think in my mind they were brother and sister, but they were covered in a colourful shimmering aura, like the Ready Brek kids, lol. I didn't say anything to my father, and I wasn't frightened, but I knew it was strange, I remember thinking wow, look at that isn't that weird, but nothing else.
