Jason PackHOST
I've solved it.
Jason PackHOST
I'm thinking of creating more British councils and Goethe Institutes and Allianz Francaise.
Jason PackHOST
And then we're not going to have the problem of neopopulism.
Jason PackHOST
Right, Jane?
Sarah VogelsangerHOST
Um, and I believe it also responds to a question that you kind of mentioned in the beginning, um, or maybe not the question that you mentioned in the begi-beginning, but more an issue that you mentioned in the beginning.
Sarah VogelsangerHOST
So kind of like, how can you practice solidarity from far, specifically in maybe left spaces? Um, so I was at a talk last January organized by the Goethe-Institut in Exile in Berlin, um, and the talk was about the situation of Syria a year after the fall of the Assad regime, and it was exactly a question raised by the audience.
Sarah VogelsangerHOST
So how can the people of Germany provide support and show solidarity? And I would like to direct this question now to you, seeing, um, like collaborating with all these authors, um, yeah, what you would think about this question, and how would you answer that?
Abi BaeGUEST
Um, so as the book highlights and what we've highlighted in this podcast, I think, um, as a struggle against imperialism, what happens in Europe or the global minority is also linked to what happens in Palestine, Syria, Iran, or anywhere else in the world.
Claudio F. BaroniGUEST
Get the institute.
Claudio F. BaroniGUEST
In the Goethe-Institut, I met for the first time the music by Clarence Barlow, believe it or not, because he did that recording in Wergo.
Claudio F. BaroniGUEST
I don't know if it's pronounced proper.
Claudio F. BaroniGUEST
You know this label in Germany?
6 MINS LATER
Claudio F. BaroniGUEST
Oh, okay, you know.
Claudio F. BaroniGUEST
And I discover...
Claudio F. BaroniGUEST
Clarence Barlow, because the Goethe-Institut in Argentina and I started to see, listen his music and I also blow my head because it was very different what I know.
Claudio F. BaroniGUEST
So in this moment I have one year trip to Europe for the first time, I didn't want to come to Europe, you know, say, no, Europe is not for me, I don't like Europe, you know, it's very conservative, I like United States, and I have actually my best friend in United States, which is Fabian Marcaccio, that actually you mentioned in one of the questions, and Reynaldo Ladagabos, living in New York, so...
Sarah VogelsangerHOST
I mean, not the question that you mentioned in the beginning, but more an issue that you mentioned in the beginning.

John GooldGUEST
And I think there's a nice interface.
John GooldGUEST
I was doing the Studio Quantum project for three years with the Goethe Institute here in Ireland, which was an artist in residency program all around the world where artists in different locations that were doing projects between quantum science and arts.
John GooldGUEST
Arts are very interesting.
John GooldGUEST
But the problem is that they're a bit worried because they're often afraid to talk to scientists about their conceptions.
Toomas Hendrik IlvesHOST
reciprocate doing exactly the same thing.
Toomas Hendrik IlvesHOST
So they shut down the consulate in St. Petersburg, and they're closing in on all the Goethe Institutes in Russia.
Toomas Hendrik IlvesHOST
Okay, well, okay, that's to be expected.
Toomas Hendrik IlvesHOST
But saying it's a real war
Birgit MagerGUEST
I must have been very convincing because we found ourselves in the Austrian mountains in a beautiful little ski hut with a group of seven or eight.
Birgit MagerGUEST
Among us was Gesche Joost, who is today the head of the Goethe-Institut.
Birgit MagerGUEST
Or Nancy Birkel, who is a co-founder of IXDS, and she was with PWC.
Birgit MagerGUEST
So they were really Wolfgang Laubersheimer, Pentagon.
Chris MondayHOST
And what we hear about is they're closing this cultural house, Russia house.
Chris MondayHOST
And then in response, Lavrov was threatening to close the Goethe Institute in St. Petersburg.
Chris MondayHOST
I took a few classes there.
Chris MondayHOST
I mean, it's not a major institution or anything, and it just seems kind of comic in a way compared to...
Chris MondayHOST
As John Mersheimer correctly says, we don't know much about the modern escalation ladder.
Chris MondayHOST
And some people say, for example, in Iran, we're stuck in an escalation trap.
Chris MondayHOST
What's interesting with Europe and Russia is, is that it seems like Russia has an incentive to de-escalate, to go down and to close the Goethe Institute and not threaten a nuclear war.
Chris MondayHOST
And what they're trying to do is alter the political scene in Europe.
Leonhard EmmerlingGUEST
So I'm, I'm, I'm an art historian.
Leonhard EmmerlingGUEST
I studied art history in, in, in Germany and, uh, wrote my PhD about the art theory of Jean Dubuffet, the painter and collector and writer, and, uh, used to work as a curator in Germany and New Zealand before I joined the Goethe-Institut as a head of visual arts in Munich, and then at different, different positions in New Delhi, Chicago, and now in Chennai.
Leonhard EmmerlingGUEST
Um, the book itself is probably a book about, um, okay, it's about inspiration, which might a little bit, uh, surprising because, uh, when, when you think of the title.
Leonhard EmmerlingGUEST
But it started with a, with a, with a remark by, uh, Jean Dubuffet in his writings about the, uh, la force maïeutique du néant.
