18.09.2026 ·1 godz 13 min · 12 rozdziałów

In this episode, hosts Bartek Buśnowski (University of Warsaw) and Piotr Kuligowski (Tadeusz Manteuffel Institute of History, Polish Academy of Sciences) engage in a wide-ranging discussion with renowned historian Prof. Dipesh Chakrabarty (University of Chicago).Reflecting on 25 years since the publication of his landmark book 'Provincializing Europe', Prof. Chakrabarty traces his intellectual shift from critiquing Western-centric historical models to confronting today's global ecological emergency. He breaks down the "asymmetry of ignorance" in global academia, the tension between universal Enlightenment concepts and their cultural translations, and how personal experiences of migration and loss shaped his methodology.As the conversation turns to the modern planetary polycrisis, Prof. Chakrabarty explores how the subaltern condition has expanded beyond traditional labor to include precariously employed gig workers, undocumented asylum seekers, and the non-human world—such as rivers, ecosystems, and animals. He also shares insights on rising global powers, the limits of technological fearlessness, Russian aggression in Ukraine, and contrasting security viewpoints across Europe.
