  1. The Heidegger Way - The Philosopher’s Zone - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Why let the Cartesian mind-body split stand in the way of a successful business pitch? For better results, use Heidegger.

    Being and Time is a difficult read. But for one business consultant Heidegger’s classic holds plentiful clues to understanding the ‘deeper’ reality of marketplace behaviour, which many modern firms have failed to grasp. Today, how to break out of that Cartesian rut, and learn to love Heidegger for fun and a little more profit.

    Guests:
    Professor Taylor Carman, Barnard College, Columbia University
    Christian Madsbjerg, Partner, ReD Associates

  2. Friedrich Kittler - The Philosopher’s Zone - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Some understand him as a Teutonic version of Marshall McLuhan. They both peered into the black box of modern, mediated life but Friedrich Kittler’€™s understandings of the machine were altogether different.

    Friedrich Kittler’s theories pressed mathematics, music, technology, media, and ancient Greece into fierce engagement. Who was this enigmatic media philosopher-cum-intellectual star who inspired a generation of students, artists, researchers, computer programmers, and the odd scientist? And what does Pink Floyd have to do with it? He would have been 70 this month; a chance to reflect.

    Guests:
    Axel Fliethmann, Monash University
    Joulia Strauss, Artist
    Geoffrey Winthrop-Young, University of British Columbia

  3. Imagining the future - Future Tense - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    You could argue that imagining the future involves one part research, one part speculation and one part fanciful thinking.

    In this show:
    Alex McDowell, the film designer behind the cult sci-fi hit Minority Report, worries that sometimes we’re too practical in our conjecturing about what lies before us. He argues that an embrace of narrative storytelling can help us understand the possibilities ahead.

    Dr Maurie Cohen makes a contentious argument that the United States—the world’s great innovator—has lost its ability to look forward.

    Professor Jerry Lockenour at the University of Southern California explains why he uses an old LA Times article to help his students understand the concept of the future.

    And Professor Naomi Oreskes talks about blending sci-fi and history to craft an academic journal paper that deals with future worries about climate change.

    Guests:
    Jerry Lockenour, Adjunct Professor at the University of Southern California’s Viterbi School of Engineering.

    Dr Maurie Cohen, Director of the Science, Technology and Society Program at the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Associate Fellow of the Tellus Institute.

    Alex McDowell, Joint Associate Professor in the Interactive Media, Production, and Media Arts and Practice (iMAP) divisions at the School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California. Creative Director of the World Building Media Lab and the 5D Institute.

    Naomi Oreskes, Professor of History and Science Studies at the University of Southern California, San Diego and Adjunct Professor of Geo-Sciences at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

  5. Pakistan elections - Rear Vision - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    For the first time in Pakistan’s history an elected civilian government has run its full term and, if all goes well on 11 May, power will be handed to another elected government.

    While that might not seem very significant to us here in Australia in Pakistan it’s a democratic first. Since Pakistan came into existence in 1947 elected governments have rarely run their full term—mostly being kicked out by the Pakistan military.

    So the May 2013 election is a significant milestone in the history of Pakistan’s democracy. Rear Vision takes a look at the development of democracy in Pakistan over the past five years and at the main political players vying for power in this election.

    Guests:
    Mona Sheikh, Postdoctoral Researcher at the Danish Institute for International Studies.
    Samina Yasmeen, Professor Political Science and International Relations at University of Western Australia and the Director of the Centre for Muslim states and Societies.
    Abdul Basit, Senior Analyst, with the International centre for political violence and terrorism research at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore.
    Hassan Askari Rizvi, Political analyst based in Lahore, Pakistan.

  6. Malaysian elections - Rear Vision - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Since 1957, Malaysia has essentially been governed by a single political coalition, now known as Barisan Nasional or National Front. At the elections on 5 May there is a chance that this long winning streak might end. Rear Vision looks at the background to this extraordinary record and what it has meant for the country.

    Guests:
    Khoo Kay Kim, Emeritus Professor of History University of Malaya
    Dr Kua Kia Soong, Principal of the New Era College Malaysia
    Wang Gungwa, Professor of History University of Singapore
    Clive Kessler, Emeritus Professor School of Sociology and Anthropology University of New South Wales

  7. The first sexual revolution - Late Night Live - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Forget the 1960s. The biggest changes in sexual mores came between 1600-1800, when more sexual freedom - albeit mainly for men - and a belief that sexual activity was largely a private, not a public matter, laid the foundations for much contemporary Western thinking on sex. This is the argument made by Oxford University historian Faramerz Dabhoiwala, in his acclaimed book.

    Guests:
    Faramerz Dabhoiwala, Senior fellow in history, Exeter College, Oxford

  8. The New Deal and the Origins of our Time - Late Night Live - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Racism not only shaped American life in the age of the Great Depression, but Hitler looked fondly at the American South, which was more explicit and more degrading than anything taking place in Germany at the time. Ira Katznelson and David Runciman look at American liberalism when it was at the height of its power in the 1930s and 1940s.

    Guests:
    Dr Ira Katznelson, Ruggles Professor of Political Science and History, Columbia University

    Dr David Runciman, Senior Lecturer Cambridge University

  9. Who killed Norman Brown? - Hindsight - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    The story of the 1929 lockout of miners at Rothbury Colliery in the NSW Hunter Valley is a milestone in Australia’s industrial history.

    As the Depression tightened its grip, miners refused to take a pay cut, so colliery owners closed Rothbury. The lockout lasted just over fifteen months and caused enormous deprivation among families in the region.

    When the NSW government sent ‘free labourers’ and police to break the stalemate, a bloody conflict ensued. Dozens of miners were shot and wounded. 26 year old Norman Brown was killed in the gunfire.

    Eighty years on, nobody knows who pulled the trigger. Indeed, new research shows the man who claimed to have done the deed was not even there.

    This program contains the stories of men who witnessed events - rare oral testimony from the ABC archives which has never been broadcast before.

  10. Public Intimacies: The Royal Commission on Human Relationships - Hindsight - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

    Women’s liberation, gay liberation, and the so-called permissive society, €”this story charts the groundbreaking and controversial government inquiry into the social changes of the 1970s.

    The 1970s was a time of social and cultural transformation in Australia. The rise of women’s liberation, gay liberation, and the so-called permissive society meant that the line between private behaviour and public life was beginning to break down.

    There was a new willingness to speak up about experiences of discrimination, and new urgency to push for change, especially to laws around homosexuality and abortion.

    The Whitlam government was full of reforming zeal when it was elected in late 1972. But while it couldn’t change the laws around abortion, it did create something much more complex: a Royal Commission on Human Relationships.

    This inquiry into family and intimate life would go on to provoke fierce outrage and resistance. But it opened up conversations about private life that we’re still having today.

    Special thanks to the National Archives of Australia, who supported this project through the 2012 Frederick Watson Fellowship.

    Bobbie Burke, Former staff member of the Royal Commission on Human Relationships
