A Mesopotamian Rhapsody: "And thou wind blow our memories in thy dust"

from ZMO kitchen talks · host Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient

Dr. Sana Chavoshian is an anthropologist working for several years on war environments in Iran and more recently in Iraq. Before joining ZMO in 2021, she was a junior researcher at the Centre for Advanced Studies, “Multiple Secularities” in Leipzig for five years and currently holds a fellowship at Käte Hamburger Kolleg “Cultural Practices of Reparation” at the University of Saarland. Her book “Women, Martyrs and Stones in Iran’s Postwar Politics” will appear early 2025 by Edinburgh University Press. In this episode, Sana speaks about her current project on dust-winds in the Mesopotamian Marshlands at the southern borders of Iraq and Iran. How can dust be studied by an anthropologist? And what is the connection between the dust-winds and international sanctions on Iran?

Patti Talks Too Much Patti Hi. I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature. I do a podcast because it's cheaper, funnier and more productive than therapy.
