The Great Political Fictions: Fathers and Sons

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).’

Racismo ambiental e justiça climática - com Mariana Belmont


Em janeiro, a Ministra da Igualdade Racial, Anielle Franco, definiu como consequência do Racismo Ambiental a tragédia que aconteceu na zona metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro, quando 12 pessoas morreram por causa das chuvas extremas.

Para muita gente o termo pode ser novidade, mas, diferente do que tentou transmitir a extrema-direta nas redes sociais, o Racismo Ambiental é um conceito estudado há décadas. O termo ajuda a descrever como populações mais vulneráveis são afetadas de forma diferente por transformações climáticas e explica de que maneira isso tem a ver com acesso à diretos negados historicamente a determinados grupos raciais.

Para se aprofundar neste assunto, o Pauta hoje recebe a jornalista e pesquisadora Mariana Belmont. Organizadora do livro “Racismo Ambiental e Emergências Climáticas no Brasil” (Oralituras, 2023) e com extensa participação em inúmeros de projetos de comunicação de políticas públicas, Mariana traz nessa conversa as origens do termo, fala sobre o fenômeno que ele descreve e argumenta sobre a importante diferença entre Racismo Ambiental e Justiça Climática.

The Great Political Fictions: Mary Stuart

This week’s Great Political Fiction is Friedrich Schiller’s monumental play Mary Stuart (1800), which lays bare the impossible choices faced by two queens – Elizabeth I of England and Mary Queen of Scots – in a world of men. Schiller imagines a meeting between them that never took place and unpicks its fearsome consequences. Why does it do such damage to them both? How does the powerless Mary maintain her hold over the imperious Elizabeth? Who suffers most in the end and what is that suffering really worth?

Next week: Turgenev’s Fathers and Sons (1862)

Coming up: The Ideas Behind American Elections – a twice-weekly series running throughout March with Gary Gerstle, looking at 8 American presidential elections from 1800 to 2008 and exploring the ideas that shaped them and helped to shape the world.

Neste episódio nos transportamos para a Belo Horizonte dos anos 1960, pelas mãos do editor-sênior da Quatro Cinco Um, Humberto Werneck. Ele conversa com os escritores Silviano Santiago e Ivan Angelo, que estrearam juntos em livro, em 1961, com "Duas faces".

The Great Political Fictions: Gulliver’s Travels

This week’s episode on the great political fictions is about Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels (1726) – part adventure story, part satire of early-eighteenth-century party politics, but above all a coruscating reflection on the failures of human perspective and self-knowledge. Why do we find it so hard to see ourselves for who we really are? What makes us so vulnerable to mindless feuds and wild conspiracy theories? And what could we learn from the talking horses?


More from the LRB:

Clare Bucknell on Swift the satirist

‘Swift’s satire was fabulous as well as honest, a distorting magnifying glass as well as a mirror.’

Terry Eagleton on Swift’s double standards

‘Swift and Montaigne are outraged by colonial brutality while being deep-dyed authoritarians themselves.’

#107 – Dr. Oscar e o menino que precisava enxergar

Assim que terminou a residência médica, o cirurgião Oscar Espellet Soares teve uma apendicite tardiamente diagnosticada que evoluiu para uma infecção generalizada.

A experiência poderia ter matado o Oscar. Mas, em vez disso, mudou a vida dele para sempre. Em vez de se tornar mais um cirurgião atuando em Porto Alegre, ele arrumou a mochila e partiu para o norte do Brasil. Tornou-se um cirurgião nômade, criando pontes entre mundos diversos e mudando vidas nessa jornada.
