Our Daily War: the World of Ukrainian writer Andrey Kurkov 1:32:39

1 day тому1:32:39

1:32:39

Andrey Kurkov is considered to be one of the greatest contemporary Ukrainian writers. His work, including novels like Death and the Penguin and Grey Bees , is dark, humorous and satirical. As a keen observer of post-Soviet society, Kurkov proved to have prophetic qualities. What role does literature have in times of war? Since Russia fully invaded Ukraine, Kurkov said he wasn’t able to write fiction anymore. Yet, in a time when Ukraine’s culture is under threat, Kurkov’s voice remains vital. Kurkov has become one of the most important voices documenting the war’s impact on Ukrainian culture and identity. Putin’s calculation is simple: a Ukraine with a permanent war in its eastern region will never be fully welcomed by Europe or the rest of the world - Andrey Kurkov Andrey Kurkov (1961) is a Ukrainian writer and journalist. His novels, including Death and the Penguin , Grey Bees , and The Silver Bone , have been translated into over 40 languages. He is a keen observer of post-Soviet societies, blending satire, political commentary, and deeply human storytelling.

Paradigma: Ernest Beckers De ontkenning van de dood met Arnon Grunberg, Marli Huijer en Babs Bakels 1:33:24

4 дні тому1:33:24

1:33:24

In De ontkenning van de dood (1973) pakt Ernest Becker de grootste leugen van het menselijk bestaan aan: dat we onsterfelijk zouden zijn. Volgens de Amerikaanse antropoloog beschermt de gehele beschaving zich voortdurend tegen het besef dat de dood onontkoombaar is. Hij analyseert deze ontkenning op psychologische, filosofische en cultuurkritische wijze. Ironisch genoeg kreeg Becker zelf pas postuum brede erkenning. Twee maanden nadat hij in 1974 overleed aan kanker, won hij de Pulitzerprijs voor De ontkenning van de dood . Over zijn gedachtegoed gaan schrijver Arnon Grunberg en filosoof Marli Huijer met elkaar in gesprek. Met kunstenaar Babs Bakels doen wij een poging om de dood onder ogen te zien. Babs Bakels en Vibeke Mascini onderzochten of er een alternatief is voor doodsontkenning? In This body that once was you lieten zij bezoekers zittend in een veld van verneveld menselijk botstof hun eigen dood en ontbinding visualiseren. Onderzoek van prof. dr. Enny Das van de Radboud Universiteit bevestigt de missie van de kunstenaars: dat het toelaten van doodsangst een andere blik op dood en leven mogelijk maakt. Over Paradigma In de Paradigmareeks selecteren De Groene Amsterdammer en Uitgeverij Athenaeum invloedrijke non-fictie uit de vorige eeuw waar we nu op moeten teruggrijpen. De thema’s die deze schrijvers belichten zijn actueler dan ooit, maar de boeken zijn vaak vergeten of onverkrijgbaar. Daarom geven ze deze boeken opnieuw uit en voorzien ze van een voorwoord van een hedendaagse denker. Eerdere avonden gingen over boeken van Rachel Carson, Edward Saïd, Friedrich Hayek, Michael Young en Elias Canetti. Sprekers Arnon Grunberg is een van de succesvolste Nederlandse schrijvers, zowel in binnen- als buitenland. Hij heeft een onvoorstelbare productie: van romans, toneelstukken, essays tot vele columns in verschillende bladen en kranten. Tot zijn bekendste boeken behoren Blauwe maandagen (1994) en Tirza (2006). Hiervoor ontving hij de literaire P.C. Hooftprijs 2022 en de Johannes Vermeer Prijs 2022. Marli Huijer is emeritus hoogleraar publieksfilosofie aan de Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam en voorzitter Stichting Maand van de Filosofie. Van 2015 tot 2017 was ze Denker des Vaderlands. Zij is opgeleid tot filosoof en arts en promoveerde op het late werk van Foucault. Van haar hand verschenen o.a. De toekomst van het sterven (2022). Babs Bakels studeerde beeldende kunst en kunstgeschiedenis. Ze was medeoprichter en curator van Uitvaart Museum Tot Zover, is kunstenaar en publiceert over funeraire cultuur. In 2021 maakte ze de VPRO-podcast Kassiewijle . In 2023 was Bakels artist in residence bij het Koninklijk Nederlands Instituut in Rome en werkt sindsdien aan een kunstproject over de juridische transformatie van een osteo-archeologische collectie in Rome.

Feminists Against the Tyrants: Lauren Bastide, Margriet van Heesch and Alina Chakh on how feminism can save the world 1:27:46

6 днів тому1:27:46

1:27:46

With the global rise of the far-right, women’s rights are increasingly under threat. French author Lauren Bastide remains hopeful: feminism can save the world, but only as a revolutionary project that seeks to improve society at all levels, for everyone. Together with migrants and people from the LGBTQ+-community, women are among the first to suffer when a society takes an autocratic turn. Abortion rights in the United States are being undermined; in Hungary, women are encouraged through tax incentives to have more children – policy measures expressing the autocratic conviction that a woman’s primary roles are those of mother and wife. How can feminism oppose these tendencies? And what should feminism look like? French author and journalist Lauren Bastide argues that feminism should not be about corporate slogans and individual success stories, but rather be grounded in global solidarity. In this programme, we’ll explore how feminist values can build new alliances across borders. What solutions does feminism rooted in solidarity and intersectionality provide?

De ochtendkrant openslaan of om stipt acht uur het nieuws aanzetten? Dat is voor jongeren verleden tijd. Het grootste deel van de jongeren vindt hun nieuws online. Vaak bij alternatieve media als instagramkanaal als CestMocro. Een uitdaging voor journalistieke organisaties. Hoe bereik je een generatie die het traditionele nieuws de rug toekeert? In samenwerking met UNESCO organiseert De Balie een gesprek over de nieuwshouding van de jongeren. Want wat zijn de gevaren? En hoe zorgen journalistieke organisaties ervoor dat de jongeren niet afhaken? Deze avond gaan we in gesprek met zowel de jongeren als de nieuwsorganisatie. Wat werkt er wel en wat werkt er niet? Programmamaker Sylvia Vegter gaat in gesprek met Aelaf Mohammed (Lid Unesco Jongerencommissie), Tobya Monté (Lid Unesco Jongerencommissie), Edmund Lauf (Senior onderzoeker Commissariaat voor de Media), Bruce Mutsvairo (Hoogleraar Media, Politics & Global South Universiteit Utrecht), Kelly van Hal (Adjunct-hoofdredacteur regionale dagbladen Mediahuis), Frank Brinkhuis (Chef video, social & podcast NU.nl) en Mark Koster (journalist).

You Can Kill the Messenger, but not the Message: Journalism in the Danger Zone 1:09:22

9 днів тому1:09:22

1:09:22

‘You can kill the messenger, but not the message’ is the slogan of news platform Forbidden Stories. We speak with founder Laurent Richard about the opportunities and challenges technology brings when working in the danger zone. 107 journalists were killed during their work last year. Very often because of their work. With his organisation Forbidden Stories, French journalist Laurent Richard completes the news stories of journalists who were murdered. Under the slogan ‘you can kill the messenger, but not the message’, Forbidden Stories published about forced labour in Turkmenistan, captagon trafficking in Syria and deforestation in Cambodia. Before Forbidden Stories, Richard was involved with the Pentagon Papers, a project that published millions of documents that exposed offshore financial constructions. Technology helps Richard in his investigative journalism, but comes with its own dangers. How do you communicate safely with your sources? How do you verify your facts online? And how do you work together with other organisations to finish a story? In this edition of Techdenkers we speak with Laurent Richard and Thomas Muntz, Editor-in-chief Investico, about the opportunities and challenges technology brings when working in the danger zone. Programme maker: Rosalie Dielesen Moderator: Marcia Luyten The Techdenkers series is supported by Adyen. This programme is a part of the Forum on European Culture 2025.

Nieuwe woonwijken die niet aangesloten kunnen worden op het stroomnet, bedrijven die met honderden op de wachtlijst staan, huishoudens die in het donker komen te zitten. Netbeheerders waarschuwen dat vanaf volgend jaar het stroomnet overbelast raakt en de vraag niet meer aankan. Hoe heeft het zover kunnen komen? En hoeveel tijd hebben we nog voor de oplossingen? We onderzoeken de knelpunten rondom netcongestie. We wekken steeds meer groene stroom op, maar de infrastructuur om die stroom van a naar b te vervoeren schiet ernstig tekort. Terwijl de vraag naar stroom alleen maar zal groeien. Bij wie ligt de sleutel voor de oplossing? Netbeheerders, de overheid, bedrijven of toch wijzelf, de consumenten? Hoeveel zin heeft het om op piekmomenten je wasmachine even niet te laten draaien? In gesprek met Frank Westhoek (Manager Klant & Congestie bij TenneT), Oemar Kanhai (Manager Directie Toezicht Energie bij Autoriteit Consument & Markt (ACM)), Bart van der Laan (Programmamanager Flexibel energiecontract bij Alliander), Paul Giesbertz (Netcongestie expert en Regulatory Affairs Officer bij EP NL) en Bard van de Weijer (Journalist bij Volkskrant). Over Onder hoogspanning: Komt er in de toekomst nog 24 uur per dag stroom uit het stopcontact? Rijden we binnenkort allemaal in een Chinese e-auto? De energietransitie is in volle gang en vraagt om fundamentele beslissingen waarachter grote politieke en economische belangen schuilen. In de programmareeks Onder hoogspanning brengen we de drijvende en botsende krachten van de energietransitie naar de oppervlakte. Van overheden, bedrijven tot consumenten: wie zijn de spelers, en wat zijn hun belangen? Wat is er nodig voor een eerlijke energietransitie, en wat is eigenlijk eerlijk?

What if giving up isn’t a failure, but a form of resistance? Arnon Grunberg meets the British writer and psychoanalyst Adam Phillips. Together they talk about letting go of control, ambition and certainty. Determination is often lauded as a virtue. But determined to do what? Adam Phillips and Arnon Grunberg explore how stepping away from expectations can bring freedom.

About: Adam Philips (1954) is a renowned psychoanalyst and essayist. He is the author of numerous books, including Missing Out: In Praise of the Unlived Life, On Wanting to Change, and Attention Seeking. His works are known for bringing psychoanalysis into conversations about literature, art, and everyday life.

Art Under Fire, with Anton Varga (Open Group), Tetyana Ogarkova, Mounira Al Solh and Elma Čavčić 1:28:00

13 днів тому1:28:00

1:28:00

What role does art play in times of war? Is it a tool of resistance, a witness to destruction, or a space for imagining the future? War transforms the conditions of making, sharing, and experiencing art. It forces new responsibilities onto artists but also opens unexpected freedoms. In the midst of destruction, creative work becomes a form of survival, memory, and resistance. Throughout history, war has shaped and been shaped by art. In moments of violence and turmoil, artists confront devastation, mourn loss, challenge dominant narratives, and preserve fragments of threatened cultures. Their work raises urgent questions – can art intervene in the course of war? Does it document reality or create its own truths? And how does conflict alter the very language and purpose of artistic creation? This conversation will bring together artists from different cultural backgrounds sharing their experiences and perspectives. About the speakers Tetyana Ogarkova (1979) is a Ukrainian writer, journalist, and essayist whose work focuses on themes of memory, cultural resistance, and the impact of conflict on societies. She has written extensively on the intersections of violence, politics, and art, with a particular interest in the role of creative expression during times of crisis. Anton Varga is part of the Ukrainian artists’ collective Open Group, known for their exploration of displacement, memory, and the social consequences of war. In 2024, they represented Poland at the 60th Venice Biennale with Repeat After Me II, an installation that engaged audiences in reflecting on the sounds of war. For this conversation Anton Varga will join. Elma Čavčić, a Bosnian-born artist, explores war, memory, and inherited trauma through figurative painting. Her dreamlike yet unsettling works reflect stories absorbed in childhood—quiet but deeply felt. Using soft tones and layered symbolism, she creates a visual archive of collective memory, preserving what must not be forgotten across generations. Mounira Al Solh (b. 1978, Lebanon; lives and works between Beirut and Amsterdam) is a visual artist whose practice spans installation, painting, sculpture, video, drawing, text, embroidery, and performative gestures. Her work delves into equality, while it adopts manners such as micro-history, to bear witness to the impact of conflict and displacement. Al Solh’s work is socially engaged while being political and poetically escapist simultaneously. Her practice utilizes oral documentation, multidisciplinary collaboration, and wordplay to explore themes of memory and loss. Motivated by acts of sharing and storytelling, change, and resistance, Al Solh strives to craft a sensory language that transcends nationality and creed.

Why We Need to Talk About Crimea with Rory Finnin, Oksana Dovgopolova and Alim Aliev 1:32:55

14 днів тому1:32:55

1:32:55

Crimea has been a starting point of the Russian war against Ukraine. By dissecting the tumultuous history of Crimea, Cambridge-scholar Rory Finnin argues why returning Crimea to Ukrainian controle is the only path to a sustainable peace. The Russian war against Ukraine began in 2014 with the appearance of mysterious ‘little green men’ – masked, unmarked soldiers – who suddenly took over Crimea. Now, the Americans seem willing to simply give up Crimea in negotiations with Russia. But history shows us that a Russian Crimea has no future. The idea of a ‘Russian Crimea’ is a colonial phantasm enforced by decades of suppression and ethnic cleansing of the Crimean Tatars. Renowned British scholar Rory Finnin, expert on Ukrainian history, shows how a peace deal that makes Crimea Russian territory would lay the foundation for a future of further military escalation from the Kremlin. To understand why that is, we need to understand the history, culture and geography of the contested peninsula. Together with Alim Aliev, a human rights activist and journalist who is the Deputy Director General of the Ukrainian Institute, and researcher, PhD and co-curator of the Past / Future / Art memory culture platform art curator Oksana Dovgopolova, Rory Finnin will tell the tumultuous story of Crimea.

Gaia Vince on Climate, food and migration: how to live through the age of collapse? 1:33:29

1:33:29

How to live through the age of collapse? Science writer and broadcaster Gaia Vince ( Nomad Century, Adventures in the Anthropocene ) explores how the climate crisis is uprooting us and reshaping our planet—fueling migration, food insecurity, and conflict over land and resources. Together with political scientist and writer Kiza Magendane. As the planet warms and swathes of land become uninhabitable, as fertile land disappears, food systems falter, millions are forced to move. In this era of cascading ecological and social shifts, Vince argues for radical rethinking: of how we grow food, how we share space, and how we treat people on the move. In Nomad Century , Vince argues that migration is not the crisis itself – but a rational, necessary response to it. She connects environmental collapse with the weaponization of essential resources, warning that without coordinated action, scarcity could deepen global divisions. In an era of rising authoritarianism, Europe’s apathy and hardened borders risk becoming tools of tyranny. Vince argues that surviving the climate crisis requires not just resilience, but radical cooperation across nations. With foresight and humane policy, she contends, this century of upheaval can become one of renewal. About Gaia Vince: Gaia Vince is an award-winning journalist and author focusing on climate, development, and migration. Her books, including Nomad Century and Adventures in the Anthropocene, have been internationally acclaimed for their clarity and urgency. Vince is a former editor of Nature and New Scientist and regularly contributes to The Guardian and the BBC.

How are the tech oligarchs shaping our democracies? In conversation with former EU-parliament member Marietje Schaake and journalist Ece Temelkuran. In his farewell speech, President Biden warned of a ‘tech-industrial complex’ and an ‘oligarchy of extreme wealth’ threatening democracy. His successor highlighted this very point by placing tech oligarchs like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Tim Cook in the front row during his inauguration speech. Once celebrated as visionary enterprises driving progress and innovation, tech companies have become questionable forces in our democracies. From data privacy scandals to monopolistic practices and spreading misinformation on a wide scale, Big Tech has undermined public trust while molding the very fabric of our democracies. Together with former EU-parliament member Marietje Schaake, author of The Tech Coup , and journalist Ece Temelkuran, author of How to Lose a Country , we investigate the position of tech companies in our democracies. How are the tech oligarchs shaping our democracies? About the speakers: Marietje Schaake (1978) is the director of international policy at the Cyber Policy Center at Stanford University. From 2009 to 2019, she was a member of the European Parliament for D66. In 2024, her book The Tech Coup: How to Save Democracy from Silicon Valley was published. Ece Temelkuran (1973) is a journalist and writer. In 2012, she was fired from the Turkish newspaper she was working for at the time, for writing critically about the Erdogan government. In 2019, she published How to Lose a Country: The Seven Steps from Democracy to Dictatorship . Moderator: Rosalie Dielesen The Techdenkers series is supported by Adyen.

How does movement, across borders and social class, shape one’s sense of belonging? A conversation with writers Tash Aw and Radna Fabias about social change, generational gaps and the legacy of colonialism. In his new book The South , Aw explores the radical political and societal changes that swept through Asia in the 1990s, as seen through the eyes of a Malaysian family. He delves into themes such as class, economic instability, and the search for (queer) identity. Aw captures the painful transformation of post-colonial societies, marked by the tension between tradition and modernity, and the conflict between personal desire and collective duty. How do cultural expectations shape the journey toward personal identity in a rapidly changing society? Tash Aw (1971) is a writer and essayist. He grew up in Malaysia, left for England in his teens to study law and is currently lives in Paris. He is the author of six books, including The Harmony Silk Factory (2005) and Five Star Billionaire (2013) which were longlisted for the Man Booker Prize and earned him international recognition. His works often examine themes such as colonialism, immigration, class dynamics and cultural displacement, offering nuanced portrayals of life in Southeast Asia and beyond. Translated into multiple languages, Aw’s texts established him as a vital significant voice in contemporary literature. Radna Fabias (1983) was born and raised in Curaçao. debuted as a poet with the poetry collection Habitus (2018) which won all major poetry awards in the Netherlands & Belgium, amongst which the Herman de Coninck prize and the Grote Poëzieprijs. Fabias’ style is characterized by a great variety, both in terms of content and style. According to Dutch Magazine De Groene, “Fabias dares to use every nook and cranny of poetry as an art form, the poems are short and lyrical, sometimes narrative and long, sometimes clear and accessible and sometimes hermetic and experimental.” Habitus has been translated into English, French, Spanish, Arabic and German. Fabias also translates poetry herself. She is the Dutch translator of both Warsan Shire and Nobel Prize winner Louise Glück. About Forum on European Culture: Who’s afraid of art? Now that tyrants are on the roll and more and more people in the West seem to be falling for the autocratic alternative, Forum on European Culture 2025 (June 25 – June 29) brings together international artists, writers, and thinkers to celebrate the subversive power of art and literature.
