Best Of: Margaret Atwood on American Myths and Authoritarianism
A good rule of thumb is that whatever Margaret Atwood is worried about now, the rest of us will likely be worried about a decade from now. The rise of authoritarianism. A backlash against women’s social progress. Climate change leading to social unrest. Advertising permeating more and more of our lives.We originally released this episode back in March 2022. But just like Atwood’s work, it somehow only got more relevant with time. Atwood is the author of at least 17 novels, including the classic “The Handmaid’s Tale,” as well as 20 books of poetry and nine co...

108. 1919: The Ghost of Versailles, with Margaret MacMillan & Gérard Araud
"The Treaty includes no provisions for the economic rehabilitation of Europe, nothing to make the defeated Central Empires into good neighbours, nothing to stabilise the new States of Europe." This damning critique of one of history's best-known peace treaties by a little-known UK Treasury official keeps shaping popular understandings of the accord's legacy. John Maynard Keynes published The Economic Consequences of the Peace (1919) during the Paris Peace Conference, painting its chief outcome, the Treaty of Versailles, as not just flawed, but a harbinger of yet more conflict. The Carthaginian peace terms imposed on Germany, Keynes argued, augured revenge.

杨照书话
21 杨照谈玛格丽特·麦克米伦“缔造和平”(三)
在今天的节目当中,要为大家介绍的这本书是Margaret MacMillan(玛格丽特·麦克米伦),她所写的《Peace Makers》。中文翻译本,书名是《巴黎和会》。这位作者她是加拿大的历史学者,她曾经担任加拿大多伦多大学三一学院的院长,她现在是英国牛津大学的教授,并且在加拿大国际关系学院、加拿大大西洋委员会等机构任职。 而Margaret MacMillan,她家族的身份,跟她写这本《巴黎和会》有一个很有趣的关系。Margaret MacMillan作为一个历史学家,“巴黎和会”又牵涉到她自己的外曾祖父,在政治生涯上,最后的非常重要的一段事件。所以她来写巴黎和会的历史一点也不令人意外。 不过有意思的地方是她写巴黎和会的方式,写巴黎和会的方式充分地显现在她的书名上面。她的书名的主标题叫做《Peace Makers》,"Peace Makers"告诉我们,这本书它要讲的是参与巴黎和会的这些人们。所以她是用一个一个的人的这种角色,帮我们把究竟是些什么样的人,来参加巴黎和会,一个一个的人,作为构成这个书的主要的内容。另外一件事情,她告诉我们这些人,他们在巴黎和会的时候,他们的角色叫做"Peace Makers"。在书里面把它翻译叫做“和平的缔结者”,不过我宁可用更直接的方式说,他们是要来打造和平的人。 他们到参与巴黎和会很重要的一个任务是战争结束了,他们必须要结束战争,打造一个和平的秩序。然而也就在这件事情上面,产生了最大的人跟人之间的冲突,跟人之间的困扰,意味着究竟什么叫做和平?以及要创造什么样的和平?每一个人内在有不一样的想法。 而Margaret MacMillan这本书的、其中的一个很重要的贡献,也就是一一地告诉我们,这些人,他们因为什么样的理由,有一部分是在战争当中的经验,有一部分是他们的国家的立场跟国家的背景,有一部分是他们个人的生命的体会。所以对于究竟在和会上面应该要打造出什么样的和平,他们有不一样的看法,有不一样的意见,也有不一样的目的。 所以到最后,所有的这些人跟人之间的互动,才产生了巴黎和会的结果。巴黎和会不是那么样简单的一场——大家坐下来开了会,会议就产生了结果——巴黎和会从1919年的1月,一路延续到了1920年。其实我们不要讲这么漫长的完整会议的经过,光是决定了巴黎和会,跟他要签什么样的条件,所有这些重要的角色都在,就有了将近半年的时间。所以 MacMillan在她的这本书,她又给了它一个副标题,叫做“Six Months that changed the world”——180天,这6个月,前面1919年的前面6个月,这些人,这些Peace Makers,就是靠着他们彼此之间的、各种不同的互动,他们改变了这个世界。 这是这本书它清楚要为我们所展现出来的。这个时候有了《巴黎和会》这本书,让我们回顾,这些人他们是用什么样的方式改变了这个世界? 1919年1月召开的巴黎和会,它的目的原来非常的简单,就是要处理从1914年到1918年,这4年战争结束了之后的国际的局势。那

Recorded October 26, 2017. The 2017 Annual Edmund Burke Lecture: Sometimes it Matters Who is in Power is delivered by Professor Margaret MacMillan of Oxford University. How do we weigh the great forces against the individuals in history? Political, economic and social structures, resources, demography, ideas, we know these shape the past. Yet can we dismiss the impact of powerful leaders and thinkers such as Vladimir Lenin, Adolf Hitler, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Karl Marx or Mohammed? This lecture argues that there are crucial junctures where an individual can push history in one direction or another. Learn more at: https://www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub/
