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.

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 35KPFA - Against the GrainKPFA - 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?

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.

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.
