cw: sexual violence, gore, and racism/racial slurs. In today's episode, Jackal (Mammonburg! @JackalJester) joins Josiah to discuss Caravaggio, Goya, and the Haitian Revolution. This disparate combination of topics began to synthesize into a visual history of modernity, war, colonialism, religion, and revolution from Napoleon to Aristide. The show notes for this episode are pretty helpful since a lot of our discussion focuses on visuals, and of course don't forget to check out Mammonburg, now streaming wherever you get your podcasts.World Destruction - Time Zone, John Lydon, Afrika BambaataaThe Painter - I'm From BarcelonaCruel Summer - BananaramaDambala - ExumaMoney is King - Leyla McCallaMèsi Bondye - Leyla McCallaYou Don't Know What's Going On - ExumaLinksGeneral content warning: a number of the paintings linked below contain violent or disturbing content.CaravaggioPainting no. 1: Saint Jerome Writing, CaravaggioKim Jung GiClaire's Redbubble with flat art GoyaJudith Beheading Holofernes, CaravaggioJudith taking revenge on rapist, Artemisia GentileschiFrancisco GoyaCharles IV of Spain and His Family, GoyaThe Garotted Man, GoyaThe Peninsular WarThe Second of May 1808, GoyaThe Third of May 1808, GoyaThe Haitian RevolutionFirst episode of Mike Duncan's series on HaitiMike Duncan, History of Haiti after the RevolutionDisasters of War, Goya seriesThis is Worse, GoyaA heroic feat with dead men, GoyaFor a clasp knife, GoyaThe same, GoyaInvasion of HaitiThe body of Charlemagne Péralte (cw: photo of a corpse)Ogou(n)Philomé ObinThe Crucifixion of Charlemagne Péralte for Liberty, ObinDuvalier dynastyJean-Bertrand AristideThe People's Church (or Ti Legliz) movement.
