Isabel Hilton talks to leading sociologist Richard Sennett about the relationship between the work of the hand and the work of the brain, a combination that, he argues in his new book The Craftsman, is crucial to creating more balanced, fulfilling lives in the modern consumer society. As part of Radio 3's South America Week, the first of two discussions on contemporary Latin American issues asks how Brazil is now facing a crisis of racial identity despite its having pioneered anti-discrimination legislation. And Isabel also talks about Juno, one of the independent film hits of the year, about accidental teenage pregnancy, plus artist Peter Doig's new show at Tate Britain.
