As is often the case, the reality is far more disturbing than the conspiracy theory. This week, Allie Mezei joins us to bring us horrific tales from the real ‘tissue trade’, a feud between the bodies of the living and the dead that stretches all the way back to the eighteenth century.

Nociones ComunesLa hidra de la revolución. Marineros, esclavos y comuneros en la historia oculta del AtlánticoCon su autor, Marcus Rediker. (charla en inglés)
En esta trepidante historia, Rediker (en coautoría con Peter Linebaugh)nos ofrecen otra interpretación de la formación del mundo moderno. En su vindicación de la «historia desde abajo», los protagonistas no son aquí los grandes Estados y sus ejércitos, las compañías comerciales o la inteligencia burguesa del primer capitalismo. Antes al contrario, estas páginas están pobladas por los marineros, los esclavos, los indígenas, las mujeres y los pobres que sufrieron y a la vez hicieron posible esta primera globalización capitalista.2023-09-141h 35
KPFA - Against the GrainThe Commons and CommunismWhat is the relationship between things held in Common — from rivers and forests, to traditions of sharing and mutual aid — and communism?

Oddly InfluencedE31: Foucault, /Discipline and Punish/, part 2: the factoryAn intermediate episode. It seems wrong to talk about Foucault without mentioning his theory of power and societal change. But I don't think there's a lot you can *do* with that theory in the sense of "applying it to software". So it doesn't really fit with the podcast theme. But his is a disturbing theory for the problem-solvers among us, so I make it more palatable by comparing it to a cult horror movie from 1997.SourcesMichel Foucault, Discipline and Punish: the Birth of the Prison, 1975C.G.

Etcetera – Open Source with Christopher LydonOrigin Stories
This show was originally broadcast on December 5, 2019.
Origin stories can be educated guesses, or leaps of collective imagination as to who we are, how we got to this point. The Big Bang is one kind, Adam and Eve make another. 1492 and 1776 are American starting points. The argument gets stickier around 1620, when Mayflower Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock; and 1619, when the first African slaves came ashore in Virginia. Just a year apart, they’re the opening chapters of two very different epics of a single nation: one born in the flight of pious Puritans to freedom, the other bo...2022-11-2450 minSFFaudioThe SFFaudio Podcast #707 - READALONG: Villains Of All Nations by Marcus Rediker

Radio Free BeszelThe Invention of White PrivilegePlantation owners in 17th century Barbados had a problem. They purchased white indentured servants and black slaves. At that time, there was little difference: life expectancy was so short that most indentured servants never saw freedom. The decision to buy servants or slaves was often dictated by price.Black and white alike, the oppressed teamed up to rebel. Their oppressors concocted a strategy. Divide and rule: pit the two groups against each other by emphasizing race, and giving more privileges to the whites. For the first time, they crafted race laws that stripped black slaves of rights...2021-11-2607 min

The Connected Sociologies PodcastEnclosures and The Making of the Modern WorldIt has long been argued that the enclosure of land in England facilitated the agricultural and industrial revolutions that transformed Britain into a modern capitalist state.

This session examines connections between the enclosure of land and people within England and within the colonial world (from the 16th century). In contrast to nation-bound understandings of English capitalist modernity, which focus on land enclosures, the Industrial revolution, and the formation of a new class society within...2021-07-2725 min
