The Mariner's Mirror PodcastThe Magellan Myth UncoveredOn 20 September 1519 the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan left Spain and headed westwards on a voyage that would subsequently echo through the centuries as the first circumnavigation of the earth. The riches of Asia were first tasted by the Portuguese in the late 1490s but the 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas reserved for Portugal the eastern-bound maritime routes to Asia. It thus became commercially imperative for the Spanish to find a western-route to Asia, and in particular to the riches of the Spice Islands in the south western Pacific where nutmeg, mace and cloves were to be exclusively discovered. Magellan's subsequent voyage is b...2022-09-2033 min

Polymatas#8 (Entre Polymatas) - Felipe Fernández-Armesto y la historia de las ideasPara ver las referencias a los libros y temas mencionados entra en https://www.polymatas.com/entrevista-felipe-fernandez-armesto/.
Felipe Fernández-Armesto es una de esas personas que no te dejan indiferente. Mientras leía su último libro, Más allá de nuestras mentes, quedé completamente apabullado por la cantidad de frentes de investigación que se abrían ante mis ojos. Felipe ha escrito una historia de las ideas que se remonta a la prehistoria y termina en nuestros días. Solo eso ya merece dos y tres lecturas cuidadosas del libro. Sin embargo, lo que de verdad me dejó n...2021-08-211h 09The Burning Archive13 Change everything but change itselfIn this episode of the Burning Archive, Jeff Rich completes his 12 part thematic history of our times. Historian Felipe Fernandez-Armesto writes about the impact of accelerating change on society over the last 50 years: “Under the surface of political and economic change lurks fear of instability in the most precious sources of identity.” He puts his finger on the change the Burning Archive has been describing as social fragmentation: Social Change + Identity Impacts + Technological Amplification + Cultural Viruses = profound uncertainty about who we are. In this episode, the Burning Archive asks: What happens to a society when we change everything, even chan...2021-08-141h 09The Burning Archive8. Cultural decay and the meaning of the Burning ArchiveCultural decay has been a theme of cultural pessimists for centuries, and in this episode Jeff Rich surveys prophets of cultural doom from Matthew Arnold, Max Weber, Stefan Zweig, and the more witty and balanced Felipe Fernandez-Armesto. Poetry makes an appearance too - with Arnold's "Dover Beach", Yeats' "Second Coming", Jeff Rich's own reading of "The Burning Archive", and lastly a special guest appearance of Ezra Pound reading from his Cantos. Trust me - it all makes sense in the end.

that's interesting008_ Interview: culture is the frame of referenceThis episode I interview Felipe Fernández-Armesto, one of the most authored in volume, width and breadth, historian of our time.
We talk about the paradox of truth, comfort being the enemy of well-being, the wonder of imagination, if Europe is really a continent or just a plateau out of Asia, and a question you can use to escape out of chit chat.
Felipe is an exceptional author, and I encourage you to check out his work, especially Amerigo: the man who gave his name to America, and Truth: A history and guide for the perplexed.

Mark is particularly interested in this question as his new book, A Secret History of Christianity, adopts a different worldview to show how spirit and soul drive life.

Beyond BeliefThe Religion of Spain500 years ago this summer a fleet of ships left Spain in search of the Spice Islands and a way around the new world. Three years later just one ship returned barely afloat. The first documented circumnavigation of the Earth was complete. The voyage signalled the growth of the Spanish Empire and the spread of Christianity to the new world. The voyage was financed by a Papal grant and Spaniards were committed by Vatican decree to spread Catholicism to the new world. So how do we assess the role of religion in Spanish history, what have been the key moments...2019-08-2627 min

Intelligence SquaredSend Them Back: The Parthenon Marbles Should be Returned to AthensWhat’s all this nonsense about sending the Parthenon Marbles back to Greece? If Lord Elgin hadn’t rescued them from the Parthenon in Athens and presented them to the British Museum almost 200 years ago, these exquisite sculptures – the finest embodiment of the classical ideal of beauty and harmony – would have been lost to the ravages of pollution and time. So we have every right to keep them: indeed, returning them would set a dangerous precedent, setting off a clamour for every Egyptian mummy and Grecian urn to be wrenched from the world’s museums and sent back to its countr...2018-05-0400 min

latinousaWhy Latino History MattersTo wrap up our history special, we explore why Latino history matters. We speak with historian Felipe Fernandez-Armesto (author of “Our America: A Hispanic History of the United States). Fernandez-Armesto makes the argument that if the United States wants to be a great nation in the future, it needs to embrace its history as a Latin American nation. Then we return to Laredo, a 96 percent Latino city on the US-Mexico border that’s also hosts the nation’s biggest celebration of George Washington’s birthday, to get a sneak peek at what our country’s Latino future might look like.2015-05-2205 min
The Why FactorCookeryWhy do we cook, and not just eat raw food like all other animals? Jo Fidgen hears that our ancestors first started to cook about two million years ago, and the advent of cookery coincides with our developing bigger brains, and smaller guts. Harvard primatologist Richard Wrangham argues that it was cooking that led to both these developments, as cooked food is easier to digest, and allows the body to absorb more calories from the food, thus making it possible to fuel a bigger brain. So cooking made us human. Historian Felipe Fernandez-Armesto adds another dimension to...2014-11-2917 min
