We’ve reached the twentieth century and today’s episode is about the decisive election of 1912. David and Gary discuss the year when the Republicans split, the Democrats recaptured the White House after an absence of twenty years, and American politics shifted decisively towards progressivism. Who were the real progressives? What was Theodore Roosevelt trying to achieve in setting up a new party? How did Woodrow Wilson mange to win the nomination and the presidency? And was this the election that saw the dawn of a new environmental politics?

This episode in our series on the Ideas Behind American Elections looks at 1896, when a single speech nearly upended American politics. The speech was William Jennings Bryan’s ‘Cross of Gold’ address at the Democratic Party convention, which won him the nomination. How did a 36-year old outsider from Nebraska get so close to reaching the White House? What made the issue of silver coinage the driving force behind American populism? And why was 1896 the template for a new kind of campaigning, in which the power of oratory had to square off against the power of money?

Uma geração que revolucionou a cultura e o comportamento em plena ditadura, mas que também era machista, racista, sem espaço para diversidade. É assim que a professora e crítica literária Heloisa Teixeira descreve a geração da qual é personagem e observadora, a que dedicou boa parte da sua carreira. Ela acaba de lançar Rebeldes e Marginais: Cultura nos Anos de Chumbo (1960-1970) pela editora Bazar do Tempo e, nesse 107º episódio do 451 MHz, conversa com a jornalista Adriana Ferreira Silva sobre os avanços, contradições e legado do efervescente movimento cultural daqueles anos. Adriana também entrevistou Heloisa na edição de março da Quatro Cinco Um, que examina os 60 anos do golpe de 1964 na visão das mulheres, já nas bancas.

In the third episode in our series on the Ideas Behind American Elections David and Gary talk about what was maybe the most significant election of all: 1860, when Lincoln became president and the country careened into civil war. How did the newly formed Republican Party break the stranglehold of the established parties? Why could the South neither unite against it nor accept its victory? What enabled Lincoln to wrestle the Republican nomination at the party's convention in Chicago and what might have happened if he had failed?

Por que a tentativa de golpe aconteceu depois de o presidente eleito tomar posse? Por que os militares precisariam de uma operação de garantia da lei e da ordem (GLO) para tomar o poder? Por que o alto comando das forçar armadas sempre manteve um discurso duplo em relação a Jair Bolsonaro?
No episódio 109 a gente tenta responder a essas perguntas por meio da tese de que, há alguns anos, os militares estão efetuando uma operação em pinça no teatro político brasileiro.

For the second episode in our new series on the Ideas Behind American Elections, David and Gary discuss 1828: the first great populist election, which saw the arrival of Andrew Jackson and a new style of politics in the White House. What made Jackson different from his predecessors? How did this election reinvent the American party system? And why were Jackson's arguments with Vice-President John Calhoun about economic tariffs so toxic that they brought the country close to civil war?

This week’s Great Political Fiction is Ivan Turgenev’s Fathers and Sons (1862), the definitive novel about the politics – and emotions – of intergenerational conflict. How did Turgenev manage to write a wistful novel about nihilism? What made Russian politics in the early 1860s so chock-full of frustration? Why did Turgenev’s book infuriate his contemporaries – including Dostoyevsky?
More from the LRB:
Pankaj Mishra on the disillusionment of Alexander Herzen
'"Emancipation", he concluded, "has finally proved to be as insolvent as redemption".'
Julian Barnes on Turgenev and Flaubert
‘When the two of them meet, they are already presenting themselves as elderly men in their early forties (Turgenev asserts that after 40 the basis of life is renunciation).’
