Hoe slim denken over je eigen denken je werkdag kan redden

Werk is een bron van vreugde én verdriet. Ik neem mij regelmatig voor om de goede momenten in een werkweek te koesteren en niet te veel aandacht te besteden aan de slechte, omdat…

Carlo Ginzburg, 1939 - 2026

Ginzburg, whose approach to history came to be called "microhistory," used the thoroughness of the archives of the Inquisition to recover undercurrents of folk knowledge and belief. "Ginzburg always maintained a strong civic commitment to the present, which is one of the many distinctive features of his work. Another one was his pioneering engagement with historical method, largely shaped by a recognition of the historical insight offered by anomalies and exceptions. His first book, Night Battles (1966), did not only shed light on a previously undiscovered agrarian cult but investigated the relationship between dominant and subaltern culture, building on Antonio Gramsci's categories."

Editorial in The Guardian. AP obituary. Best known for his early books The Night Battles, The Cheese and the Worms, and Ecstasies (about an agrarian cult, the cosmogony of an individual miller in 16th c. Friuli, and accounts of the witches' sabbat, respectively,) his essays collected in Clues, Myths, and the Historical Method are also enduring and influential (they were assigned in my art history methodologies seminar.) I have read him only in translation, but have always found his writing engaging and persuasive - so his longtime translators, John and Anne Tedeschi, are probably worth knowing about as well. His mother was the novelist Natalia Ginzburg, his father Leone Ginzburg, a resistance fighter, writer, journalist, and socialist activist, killed in prison in 1944.

Extreme Heat and Oily Fascists

While London, like most of Europe, bakes in a record-breaking heatwave, fossil fuel interests and global far-right politicians have gathered for a "Glastonbury of Climate Science Deniers".

Manosphere guru Jordan Peterson is one of four co-founders of the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship, which is charging conference attendees up to £1,500 per ticket. Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch and Boris Johnson are all attending, as is Trump's Energy Secretary Chris Wright. Meanwhile, the Grantham Research Institute at LSE and the Climate Resilience Alliance "regret that our event on Extreme Heat: Improving governance and strengthening action around the world has been cancelled due to the red extreme heat warning issued by the UK Met Office."

‘For future generations’: Brazil working hard to ensure successful 2027 Women’s World Cup

With one year to go on Wednesday, this week’s newsletter speaks to Aline Pellegrino and Angelina Constantino about their hopes for the tournament

We are 365 days away from the 2027 Women’s World Cup, which will take place in eight Brazilian cities between 24 June and 25 July next year. This will be the third major women’s football tournament held in the country in the past two decades, after the 2007 Pan American Games and the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, and preparations are in full swing.

Playing captain in 2007, the former defender Aline Pellegrino was appointed as executive director of legacy and stakeholder affairs for the 2027 tournament and will lead efforts to build the future of the women’s game after the tournament. The World Cup final, to be played at the Maracanã, will coincide with the 20th anniversary of Brazil’s Pan American football gold.

‘Not much faith’: the view from Brazil as they prepare to face Scotland

Debate is raging back home about whether Neymar, Casemiro, Endrick – and others – should be in the World Cup team against the Tartan Army

The big stars have turned up for the 2026 World Cup. Lamine Yamal returned to the Spain team to help them thump Saudi Arabia. Lionel Messi is the tournament’s top scorer, giving Argentina hope of pinning “la cuarta estrella” to their shirts. And Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo are all vying for the Golden Boot as their teams look towards to the next stage.

However, the five-time champions Brazil are failing to convince. They finished fifth in the Conmebol qualifying table with 28 points from 18 games, their worst ever qualifying campaign. Being competitive in a 2-1 defeat to France in March, before wins against Croatia, Panama and Egypt in friendlies, perhaps gave false hope.

Partijen in raad Gorinchem wachten fraudeonderzoek verder af

GORINCHEM (ANP) - De partijen in de gemeenteraad van Gorinchem willen nog niet veel kwijt over het nieuws dat er zes aanhoudingen zijn verricht in het onderzoek naar stemfraude. "We moeten verder afwachten wat hieruit naar voren komt", zegt Pierre Schefferlie, fractievoorzitter van Democraten Gorinchem.

Zijn partij werd de grootste bij zowel de verkiezingen op 18 maart als bij de herverkiezingen op 29 april. Volgens Schefferlie is niemand van Democraten Gorinchem aangehouden. Hij zegt niet te weten wie er wel zijn opgepakt.

Het Openbaar Ministerie maakte bekend dat de zes mensen zijn aangehouden op verdenking van valsheid in geschrifte en het medeplegen van het ronselen van stemmen bij de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen op 18 maart.

Lijsttrekker van Stadsbelang Gorinchem Johan Klein is "vooral benieuwd naar wat er uit het onderzoek van het Openbaar Ministerie komt en wat de omvang van de fraude was". Stadsbelang was voor de gemeenteraadsverkiezingen de grootste partij in de Zuid-Hollandse gemeente en werd dit keer de een na grootste.
