I enjoyed the book as it gives you a different perspective compared to other texts which focus on the Spanish chronicles. However I did not like to much the constant bashing against the spaniards, we know they were not perfect and that their history has been sweetened by academia over the years but there are few positive or neutral comments in the book, as opposed to the natives. What's more jarring is the fact that some of the interpretations from Spanish texts seem to be wrong. As a native Spanish speaker I can go to the sources and read the text, it seems like a common occurrence among anglo speaking academics. I am not sure if it is because of Spanish is less diverse in terms of words and thus requires more interpretation compared to English or if it is on purpose. In any case, if old Spanish can be misinterpreted, I am unsure how accurate their Nahuatl interpretations are.

Just bought it today; glad I did after watching these reviews.

What a great presentation

She's done a good job. I don't know if Conrad's dream of being a sailor was romantic so much as escapatory, though of course, the degrees of separation are hard to discern.

what an unappealing person anne applebaum is. in how many wars the "western world" (aka USA) was involved in the last decades? how many do you count for russia? But he, it´s all in the name of democracy, isn´t it? It´s never about money and political geostratigic interests...double standards at its best.

6:20 the lecture begins, with respect to the introductions.

Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today Holy Spirit Can give you peace guidance and purpose and the Lord will John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

Ms. Applebaum is absolutely correct about all the issues in regard to Eastern Europe. She is a fantastic writer and important thinker. I would love to have her as a US president.

Hannah Arendt was not saying that evil is boring or that Eichmann was simply a cog in the machine, nor was she saying that Eichmann was not an idealist. On the contrary. Rather, she was pointing to the fact that evil destroys thought. Perhaps it is alsoworth remembering that Hannah Arendt had all the materials upon which Ms. Stangneth bases her book.

Always several minutes of stupid introductory remarks by goobers.

A most interesting period. Period.

breathtaking dreading the end

8:39

Prof. Jasanoff seems to think that 'Globalisation' = international trade. Priceless

MR. JONES OF THE NEW ANIMAL FARM. DO YOU SEE A CHINESE PERSON TALKING ABOUT THIS BOOK. HE WAS INFLUENCE BY A GERMAN JEW WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT CHINA. ISN'T MAOISM FORM OF EXTREM VIOLENCE ALMOST EQUAL TO THE EXTRAE RIGHT. ONLY THISE PEOPLE WHO DID NOT EXPERIENCED IT FIRAT HAND (IE. MOSTLY THE WEST) PRASIED IT AS A GOOD THING. YOU A JOKING RIGHT?

YOU WAT?

That's right! Conrad's colonial landscape is not exactly a BRITISH colonial landscape. As someone with a background in literary studies, I always welcome a historian's perspective on fiction. History and literature - best pals forever! :)

HE FOOLED ALL OF YOU. LOL I have gout and no one puts a bandage on it. The reason he had a bandage on his hand in the photo of the lawnchair is so that no one would want to shake his hand! This means it was all posed. He expected company. In the book "my personal experience with Joseph Conrad" the author mentions this.

I read the N,,,,,,,,,,, of the Narcissist and other story,s by Conrad and was blown away by his genius. it was only later I found out English was his Third Language unbelievable

Great book thanks Maya Jasanoff

Two geniuses of fiction working at the same time: Conrad in the novel and Chekhov in the short story form. The late 19th century and early 20th was a golden age of fiction. The older I get as a reader the more I cherish this period of history. That pacing of story telling would be destroyed by modernism. Fantastic literature, by the way.

Hi, I was born in Stanford le hope, Essex Uk it’s about 20milea from London, we have a road named after Conrad here as he lived here for a period, I believe either before or adjacent to his time in Kent (near ashford), briefly reading I see it was possibly just two year he was in Essex and also at two locations in Stanford le hope… its noted that this location is not far from tilbury which is where the Thames ferry runs to Gravesend which I believe is where some of the early story of the heart of darkness is made, it would be interesting to know the exact years that he resided in Stanford le hope, cynically speaking SLH is close but also very far from the countryside these days

Park the car in Harvard yard. Yes. Always fascinating to see the thoroughly brainwashed individuals who are raised in this cage. She’s not even a human being anymore. She’s a brainwashed clone. She smiles big smiles while talking about things that don’t correlate to her smiling. Her way of speaking is masculine Harvard blue blood nonsense. “Globalization is a very rich and complicated process, but it’s one we’ve seen before.” 😂 What a joke. It’s all the name dropping jargon of total nonsense. Identity politics and other complete bull. Good job Mommy and Daddy!!!

Absolutely intriguing. Thanks for content.

How do u interpret the fact that in the west any russian media is silenced but not the other way round? And what is your take about eastern country, for example Hungary, which have developed antibody against communism dictatorship and which are appalled about the ideology of the politically correct which is forced on the western population from a cold and distant elite class

Instead of arrows coming out of the forest it it cries of racism?

Quoting Adam Hochschild, save to decry his feverish fantasies, is really gross.

Gulags are hard labor camps. Nazi war criminals were nearly always paid. Nazi war criminals were to stay a max of 10 years, max up to 1955. I ready that every year, starting from about 1946, while Stalin was still alive, about 10,000 Nazi POW prisoners were released every year. Early release was based of severity of crimes committed. Why East Germany was an ally of the Soviet Union, and had equal say on matters, such as POW release. Stalin : Nazi war criminals have relative and friends back in their home villages. I cannot allow death sentences on Nazi prisoner of war. Nazi war criminals will work for any period between 1 year up to a max of 10 years. Stalin said all of them had death in their hands. /there were witnesses still alive. Stalin felt his way forward was the best way forward. Stalin felt the Nazi war criminals were an honest lot. They feely admitted their war crimes, once Stalin declared they will not be given death sentences.

Completely missed the point of Heart of Darkness. It is about the ability for people to become psychopaths. It is called the "Heart" or the "shadow". It is the subtext, and not directly referred to, but sledgehammered by inference. It happened at the same time Carl Jung was wrestling with exactly the same issues Any discussion on the book, that doesnt refer to this is like a Star Wars book that never mentions the Force.

An excellent lecture from Prof. Jasanoff. Congratulations!

For anyone stumbling onto this video, she's not a historian, she's a propagandist working for a few anti-communist propaganda groups and the US Gov, she's currently quite busy whitewashing Nazis in Ukraine.

Total hack

Bought Prof. Jasanoff's book yesterday, based on this lecture. Can't wait to read it.

Glorious in revolt and ruin; squalid and shameful in triumph

His work is beyond beautiful

anne applebottom is not a genius, she a deep state propagandist, she should stay in Poland where she belongs

At around 42: Prof Jasanoff (Thank you!) talks about river navigation and how it's not straightforward. You can't get a better taste of what it might have been like than reading Twain's "Life on the Mississipi".

I love the variation in your videos! Never gets boring on your channel :D. The secret to YT success - Promo>SM !!

Any book recommendations on the Mayans?

ruclips.net/video/v1xE8bQbWIk/видео.html Primo Levi : Côté lumière un irréfragable témoin, côté ombre un chantre de l’ambiguïté Mes deux vidéos antérieures ont fait ressortir les outrances nichées dans Si c’est un homme : des personnages à la physiologie surhumaine jusqu’à une radicale invraisemblance psychique, Primo Levi, lui que l’on fige, comme statutairement, dans un portrait tout de rigueur et de froide objectivité, a cédé à son besoin nombrilique d’esbroufe. Cette vidéo, certes longuette, certes avec des redites, souligne toute l’ambivalence de cet auteur qui déplore que chez les jeunes « leur expérience du monde étant pauvre, ils n’aiment pas l’ambiguïté ». Etonnant non ? !

Very interesting... I´m maoist too kkk

Anke apfelbaum,,😂😂😂😂

She saw what Putin had in store for Ukraine two and a half years ahead of time. Russian propaganda has been working on the Russian people (except state controlled religion and some private capitalism like China does) in the same way the Soviets had groomed them back when they ruled.The big money is government owned, Putin and the Russian Orthodox connected seems to be the only changes.

Grifter

What a pathetic waste of space

Maoism is an anti-Marxist theory, Mao Zedong, leader of the Communist Party until his death, and unfortunately for the proletariat the highest figure since 1935, the year in which he carried out a true coup in the Party, a process that he would repeat for perpetuate themselves in power through the “cultural revolution”. - International relations that ended up putting them at the service of American imperialism and reaction, even going so far as to recognize the Pinochet dictatorship, brazenly removing the anti-imperialist mask with which they used to cover up their misdeeds. . - Conciliation and help to the Tito revisionists, leaving Albania aside, colluding with the traitor Tito. . -The rupture with the USSR was produced for opportunistic purposes, not for ideological reasons. Chinese anti-revisionism was a myth. -He made a pharisaical defense by opportunism of Stalin and then viciously attacked him multiple times -He did not follow the guidelines of the Comintern, delaying the Chinese revolution for years and later stagnating it and condemning it to failure. . - He was happy about the dissolution of the Comintern, he did not support the Cominforn. Mao only wanted to have a free hand to develop his plans, oblivious againts the interests of the working class and the International Communist Movement. . - He did not understand that the working class is the only consistent and revolutionary one until the end, it is the revolutionary class; he will “replace” her with the peasantry. . - He did not know to industrialize the country: his mistakes made China not reach the necessary levels for the implementation of socialism. . - The “creation” of the new democracy is reactionary, the bourgeoisie is not a revolutionary class in the stage of implantation of socialism

this is fascinating!

Thank you for your work Camila.
