  Belisarius & Antonina - Love and...

  Belisarius and Antonina were titans in the Roman world some 1,500 years ago. Belisarius was the most well-known general of his age, victor over the Persians, conqueror of the Vandals and the Goths, and as if this were not enough, wealthy beyond imagination. She made a name for herself by traveling with Belisarius on his military campaigns, deposing a pope, and scheming to disgrace important Roman officials. This unadulterated power and wealth did not mean that Belisarius and Antonina were universally successful in all that they undertook. These failures knock them from their lofty perch, humanize them, and make them even more relatable and intriguing to us today. 
   
   
   
  Belisarius & Antonina is the first modern portrait of this unique partnership. They were not merely husband and wife but also partners in power. This is a paradigm which might seem strange to us, as we reflexively imagine that marriages in the ancient world were staunchly traditional, relegating wives to the domestic sphere only. Their private and public lives blended as they traveled together, sometimes bringing their children, and worked side-by-side. Theirs was without a doubt the most important nonroyal marriage of the late Roman world, and one of the very few from all of antiquity that speaks directly to contemporary listeners.

  Colonialism - The Expansion of...

  Colonialism, at its core, refers to the practice of one country establishing control over another, typically by settling its own population and exploiting the resources, labor, and markets of the colonized region. This system of domination, which spans several centuries, began to take on its modern form during the Age of Exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries. However, its roots can be traced back to earlier periods in history, when ancient empires expanded their territories through military conquest, trade, and settlement. Colonialism, as it is most commonly understood today, is a product of European powers' ambition to extend their political and economic influence across the globe. 
  The motivations for colonial expansion were multifaceted. European nations were driven by the desire for wealth, resources, and new trading routes. The establishment of colonies in foreign lands provided access to valuable commodities such as spices, precious metals, and later, sugar, cotton, and tobacco. Equally important was the drive for prestige, as colonial ventures served to enhance a nation's status on the global stage. Religion, too, played a crucial role; missionaries sought to spread Christianity to indigenous populations, often justifying the subjugation of these peoples in the name of religious salvation. 
  Technological advancements during the late medieval period enabled European nations to explore and map distant lands. Navigational tools like the compass, the astrolabe, and advances in shipbuilding made transoceanic voyages possible, laying the groundwork for the so-called "Age of Discovery." Figures such as Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama, and Ferdinand Magellan were among the first to chart new routes to Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Their voyages marked the beginning of an era in which European powers, armed with superior weaponry and navigational skills, would expand their reach to the furthest corners of the globe.

  Digitization is transforming our world economically, culturally, and psychologically. The influx of new forms of communication, networking, and business opportunities, as well as new types of distraction, self-observation, and control into our societies represents an epochal challenge. Following Bernard Stiegler's concept of pharmacology, Felix Heidenreich and Florian Weber-Stein propose to view these new forms as digital pharmaka. Properly dosed, they can enable new self-relationships and forms of sociality; in the case of overdose, however, there is a risk of intoxication.
  In this essay, Felix Heidenreich, Florian Weber-Stein, and, in a detailed interview, Bernard Stiegler analyze this complex change in our world and develop new skills to use digital pharmaka.
