EP #6 Phenomena, No-Self & Empathy w. Professor Dan Zahavi

What does it mean to experience reality from the first-person perspective? In this episode of MANA, we sit down with Dan Zahavi — Professor at the University of Copenhagen, Director of the Center for Subjectivity Research, and one of the world’s most cited philosophers of mind — for a deep conversation on phenomenology, consciousness, panpsychism, empathy, and selfhood. Together, we explore what phenomenology actually studies, Buddhism and “no-self”, empathy, intersubjectivity, and the deeper meaning structures within human experience. A conversation bridging philosophy, cognition, psychology, and the human condition.

Dr. Issa shares his lifelong journey of documenting his ancestral village, Lubya, in the Galilee, relying on the oral testimonies of survivors and meticulous archival research to counter the erasure of Palestinian history. The conversation explores how the trauma of 1948 connects to the current realities in Gaza and the West Bank, emphasizing that the Nakba is an ongoing experience of exile and resistance. Dr. Issa details his work in uncovering colonial records that reveal the pre-planned nature of the displacement and discusses the inspiring efforts of a new generation of engineers and scholars who are digitally and architecturally rebuilding Lubya. This episode serves as a vital testament to the power of collective memory and the enduring right of return, illustrating that while a village may be removed from the map, it remains an inseparable part of the Palestinian identity and existence.

EP #3 Indvandringens historie i Danmark 1500- i dag v. Professor Garbi Schmidt

Dette er den 3. episode af MA'NĀ Podcast, på dansk, hvor Amin Al-Jaderi interviewer Professor Garbi Schmidt fra Roskilde Universitet (RUC) om Indvandringens historie i Danmark fra perioden 1500-tallet op til i dag. I denne episode præsenterer professor Garbi Schmidt en historisk gennemgang af indvandring og religion i Danmark fra 1500-tallet til i dag. Samtalen belyser, hvordan Danmark altid har været formet af bevægelser udefra, og hvordan begreber som ghettoen oprindeligt blev brugt til at kontrollere religiøse minoriteter som jøderne. Schmidt forklarer, hvordan fokus har flyttet sig fra religiøs anderledeshed til statistiske kategorier, og hvordan nutidens debat om islam og integration trækker tråde tilbage til fortidens spændinger. Gennem eksempler på jødisk og østeuropæisk indvandring understreges det, at danskheden løbende er blevet forhandlet i mødet med det fremmede. Afslutningsvis opfordres der til at bruge historien som spejl for at forstå de nuværende globale konflikter og demografiske udfordringer. 00:00 – Introduktion til Garbi Schmidt og dansk indvandringshistorie00:50 – Danmark som et land bygget på indvandring 01:40 – Nationalstaten vs. historisk bevægelighed uden pas 02:25 – Fra religionshistorie til forskning i Nørrebros forhistorie 03:10 – Ghettobegrebets rødder og jødisk kontrol i 1500-tallet 04:30 – Kontrol med jøder i 1692 og planen for et jødisk kvarter 05:45 – Ghettoen som geografisk kontrolinstans for "anderledeshed" 06:30 – 1900-tallets slum i Borgergade og de russiske jøder 07:50 – Religionsmarkøren som det ultimative tegn på forskel 09:10 – Handelsjøder og synagoger i danske kystbyer 10:25 – Jødernes Frihedsbrev (1814) og vedblivende restriktioner 11:40 – Kongens brug af minoriteter: Fra hollændere til handelsfolk 13:10 – Flugten fra pogromer og revolution i Rusland (1900-1912) 14:20 – Netværkets betydning for indvandring før og nu 15:30 – M.A. Goldschmidt og romanen om bindestregsidentitet 17:00 – Grundloven (1849) og kampen om religionsfrihed 18:15 – Goldschmidt vs. Grundtvig: At være "en gæst iblandt os" 19:40 – Borgerbegrebet vs. det folkelige fællesskab 20:30 – Mormon-missionen (1851) og voldelig modstand i Aalborg 22:00 – Gæstearbejdere i 60'erne: Behov for hænder i industrien 23:30 – Modstand fra fagbevægelsen: Fra "ropolakker" til 1970'erne 25:15 – Integrationens mange definitioner 26:40 – Skiftet i 1980: Fra indvandrer til "muslim" 28:10 – Moske-vandalisme og fjendebilledet omkring islam 29:30 – Statistik og MENAPT: Religionens genkomst som kategori 31:00 – Nuancer vs. politiske kategorier i debatten 32:15 – Historiske paralleller vi ofte overser i nutiden 33:40 – DNA-test og vores forbindelse til den store verden 34:50 – Bekymring for det stigende globale konfliktniveau 36:10 – Frygten for "den store udskiftning" og konspirationer 37:45 – Statistiske modeller vs. en uforudsigelig virkelighed 39:00 – Det demografiske paradoks: Behovet for indvandring 40:40 – Gatekeeping og forhandlingen om dansk identitet 42:15 – Sproglig homogenisering og AI's indflydelse 43:40 – Kategoriseringens farer og øget polarisering 45:20 – Dialogens vigtighed: Samtalen med Kristian Thulesen Dahl 46:45 – Budskabet: Brug historien til at forstå nutiden 47:50 – Anbefalinger: Litteratur om jødisk historie og ghettoer   Language: Dansk Host: Amin Al-Jaderi Guest(s): Professor in Global Studies at RUC, Garbi Schmidt

EP #2 Mind Memes & Markets w. Professor Vincent F. Hendricks

This is the second episode of MA’NĀ Podcast in English Mohammad Al-Mosawi sits down with a leading Professor of Formal Philosophy and Logic: Vincent Hendricks. Together, they unpack the logic of “infostorms,” the viral life of memes, and how social media platforms increasingly resemble automated casinos, ecosystems that inflate and deflate attention bubbles while trapping us inside personalized information bubbles.  The episode probes how, in an age of informational overload, attention has become a form of compensation. The discussion also explores memes not merely as entertainment, but as condensations of collective knowledge. Against this backdrop, they reflect on “main character syndrome” as more than a psychological quirk: as a contemporary form of personal metaphysics, where individuals construct their own center of reality, narrative, and cosmic significance.   Language: English   Host: Mohammad Al-Mosawi   Guest(s): Professor of Formal Philosophy and Logic: Vincent F.
