American Elections: 1828

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?

Bolsonarismo é uma distopia teocrática? - com João Cezar de Castro Rocha

Citações bíblicas, personagens do Velho Testamento, tom de pregação e defesa da união entre política e religião marcaram os discursos da última manifestação convocada pelo ex-presidente Bolsonaro e aliados. "Por um bom tempo fomos negligentes ao ponto de falarmos que não poderia misturar política com religião, e o mal ocupou o espaço”, disse Michelle Bolsonaro durante a manifestação, que foi convocada após o avanço das investigações sobre a participação do ex-presidente na tentativa de golpe.

O apelo à ideia de luta “do bem contra o mal”, evocando simbologias religiosas de “uma guerra santa” não é novidade no movimento bolsonarista. Contudo, chama atenção a intensificação e protagonismo destes discursos. Em novo episódio, o podcast Pauta Pública mergulha nas dimensões religiosas da manifestação. João Cezar de Castro Rocha, historiador e professor de literatura comparada na Universidade Estadual do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), destrincha e reflete sobre como a Teologia do Domínio aparece em discursos e apostas do movimento ligado a Bolsonaro.

American Elections: 1800

In the first episode of our new series on the Ideas Behind American Elections, David and historian Gary Gerstle explore the presidential contest of 1800: scurrilous, complicated, game changing. How did it help create the American party system? Was it really democratic? What would have happened if Aaron Burr had won? Plus, just how accurate is the depiction of the election in Hamilton the musical?

Feridas históricas do conflito em Gaza e a fala de Lula - com Breno Altman


“O genocídio está associado a todas políticas de Estado que estão ligadas a destruição de um povo”, diz o convidado deste episódio.

Em uma entrevista coletiva durante a reunião da cúpula da União Africana, na Etiópia, Lula comparou o que está acontecendo na Palestina hoje, onde aproximadamente mais de 30 mil pessoas foram mortas em ataques do exército de Israel, sendo a maioria delas mulheres e crianças, com o que ocorreu na segunda guerra mundial contra o povo judeu.

O contexto da fala se deu quando o presidente comentava a decisão de alguns países de suspenderem o repasse financeiro à uma agência da ONU, responsável por prestar assistência humanitária a refugiados palestinos, logo após Israel levantar a suspeita de que nela haveriam infiltrados do grupo Hamas.

A repercussão da fala foi enorme, abalando a diplomacia entre os dois países e levantando inúmeros debates sobre Sionismo, a suposta excepcionalidade do Holocausto e Antissemitismo. Para trazer mais contornos às feridas históricas do conflito em Gaza e a fala de Lula sem perder de vista a escalada do conflito, cada vez mais brutal, em Gaza, o Pauta Pública recebe hoje o jornalista Breno Altman.

Fundador do site Ópera Mundi, Breno, que é judeu, vem sendo uma das vozes mais ativas nesse debate. Ele é autor do livro “Contra o sionismo - retrato de uma doutrina colonial e racista” publicado pela editora Alameda”.

#106 - Metrópoles em disputa — Bianca Tavolari e Joice Berth

As cidades brasileiras são um campo em disputa — e se é na dimensão urbana que ocorrem muitas das opressões e preconceitos, também é nela que a população se organiza, trava lutas sociais e encontra soluções para a redução das desigualdades. Bianca Tavolari, editora da seção As Cidades e as Coisas na Quatro Cinco Um, e Joice Berth, arquiteta, escritora e autora de Se a Cidade Fosse Nossa, lançado Paz e Terra, discutem neste episódio a vida em metrópoles como São Paulo.

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).’
