It was really an interesting statement to me; it made me think of two things, the first one is the intention behind this statement, while the second was the attitude of Kurds, especially Kurd musicians, towards researchers and researching. As for the first thing, I felt that there was a problem, maybe a social or psychological, of the Kurdish people in general, and the musicians in particular.

  • War on Terrorism
    1 The U.S. War on Terror Alex Danchev ‘America is at war,’ reminded the President recently, when the latest plot against America was revealed. This state of war is codified in ‘The National Security Strategy of the United States’, issued from the White House, not to mention ‘The National Defense Strategy of the United States’, issued from the Pentagon.1 George W. Bush is the self-styled war president and self-willed commander-in-chief. As those who have hitched themselves to his chariot have discovered (‘Yo Blair’), what he says goes. ‘I’m the commander, see, I don’t need to explain – I do not need to explain why I say things. That’s the interesting thing about being the president.’2 In an era when wars are commonly supposed to be undeclared – when war itself is a word that dare not speak its name – the ‘global war on terror’ suffers if anything from a surfeit of declaration. The GWOT is among other things a war of words, and acronyms, a war of characterization and mischaracterization. Some of these words are new (‘PUC’),3 or combined in gruesome neologism (‘extraordinary rendition’); some are shop-soiled (‘values’); some are deliberately anodyne (‘detainee’); some are hyperbolic, yet curiously reversible (‘civilization’, ‘barbarian’); some are almost unpronounceable (‘torture’). The National Security Strategy characterizes it as both a war of arms and a war of ideas.4 That appears to be a serviceable enough distinction, as far as it goes, but it has the effect of underwriting a propensity to elevate the former and relegate the latter, at least when it comes to priorities for action and resource allocation.

    www.osama-derfilm.de OSAMA PRESSENOTIZ OSAMA ist der erste lange Spielfilm, der nach dem Ende der Taliban-Herrschaft in Afghanistan gedreht wurde. Die Darsteller sind Laien, die Hauptfigur ist – wie in so vielen von Zensur reglementierten Kulturen – ein Kind, ein junges Mädchen. Siddiq Barmak, der Regisseur und Drehbuchautor, wurde für dieses Werk in Cannes mit Standing Ovations gefeiert und mit der „Mention Spéciale“ der „Quinzaine des Réalisateurs“ bedacht. „Mein Film ist eine Hommage an die Geduld der Afghanen, die so viel Leid erfahren haben. Der Preis gilt ihrem Widerstand und ihrer unzerstörbaren Hoffnung auf die Zukunft“ so Barmak bei der Preisverleihung. Barmaks Hauptdarstellerin schlägt sich als Junge verkleidet unter dem Namen OSAMA durch eine von Männern domi- nierte Welt. Sie versucht so den Lebensunterhalt für ihre Mutter und Großmutter zu verdienen. Ihre Weiblichkeit lässt sich trotz der Verkleidung nicht verbergen. Das Scharia-Gericht beschließt ihre Zwangsheirat mit einem um Jahre älte- ren Mullah. Er schenkt ihr zur Hochzeit ein Schloss, das ihre Zukunft für immer zu verriegeln scheint. Der Film endet hier und der Zuschauer ist an das Anfangszitat von Nelson Mandela erinnert: Ich werde verzeihen. Aber ich werde nie vergessen. In seiner poetischen Sprache macht der Film den physischen und psychischen Terror spürbar, dem Frauen unter dem extremistischen Regime ausgesetzt waren. Dabei umgeht Barmak allerdings jede Schwarz-Weiß-Malerei und zeigt, dass auch Männer von dem Regime unterdrückt und instrumentalisiert wurden. Das
