Risk and Humanities

Просмотр

Darwin College Lecture Series 2010. "Risk and Humanities". Professor Mary Beard (Cambridge). Was there risk before modernity? This lecture explores how we might tell the ancient history of risk—from oracles (an ancient form of risk assessment) through gambling and agricultural strategies to the parade of Luck and Chance in sculptural form. In Greece and Rome (and other pre modern societies) is it misleading to think in terms of risk? Is it more helpful to ask simply, What did people worry about?—a question to which we find some surprising answers. At the same time, there is another agenda underlying this lecture: an exploration of the risks facing research and teaching in the Humanities. What do academics need to be worried about today and for the future? The lecture will include the first consultation of the Oracles of Astrampsychus for many centuries. Biography Mary Beard is one of Britains best-known Classicists Fellow of Newnham College and a distinguished Professor of Classics at the University of Cambridge where she has taught for the last 25 years. She has written numerous books on the Ancient World, including the 2008 Wolfson Prize-winner, Pompeii: The Life of a Roman Town which portrays a vivid account of life in Pompeii in all its aspects from food to sex to politics. Previous books include The Roman Triumph, Classical Art from Greece to Rome and books on the Parthenon and the Colosseum as part of a series on wonders of the world. Her interests range from the ...

Yanomami 1of4 GCSE Humanities

Просмотр

The Yanomami tribe of the Amazon Rainforest are an important case study for the Culture and Beliefs module of GCSE Humanities. The Yanomami are a tribe who lived until recently without contact with the outside world. Now their world is threatened by gold miners, their pollution, their way of life and their diseases. The Yanomami norms and values are very different to those we hold in the developed world, as the video shows, young boys play with bows and arrows to learn how to hunt, and an entire village lives together in one Maloka or communal hut.

The End of Capitalism? - David Harvey (Penn Humanities Forum, 30 Nov 2011)

Просмотр

David Harvey, Professor of Geography and Anthropology Graduate Center, City University of New York. Three years after the near collapse of global financial markets, America is still struggling with unemployment, debt, and foreclosure, European governments are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy—and the world's billionaires are getting richer faster than ever before. The current situation is not sustainable. But what changes need to be made to overcome this mounting crisis of our world economic system? How radical an adaptation will be required? David Harvey, the brilliant theorist and scathing critic of postmodern society, looks at what the future holds for global capitalism. davidharvey.org The Dr. ST Lee Distinguished Lecture Series in the Humanities brings to the Penn Humanities Forum scholars and artists whose work has advanced our understanding of issues central to the humanities. www.phf.upenn.edu

Humanity's Expression

Просмотр

As the pace of change in the world accelerates and more and more people are waking up in a spectacular global awakening out of the illusion thrust upon us since birth, we may find that some people are too far gone down the false-rabbit hole consciousness to ever truly wake up. So many of us work for the powers that be; so many of us consider ourselves the resistance. There will be friction, but good always wins in the end over tyranny. Never lose the belief that what we are doing is right. We must wake up as many people as possible. Nothing is more beautiful than the truth. FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT Man's struggle for freedom is one of the greatest tests and gifts we have as a sentient species. Nothing feels as good as fighting the good fight. Some things really are worth life itself. An ideal, a belief, and a love. The resistance is now. You are free. - The cveitch channel Thrusting a rusty sword into the bowels of evil since May 2009
