As the conflict escalated, and the humanitarian disaster with it, creating the biggest refugee crisis in our generation, our appeals for wider media attention, with some notable exceptions, fell on deaf ears with an apparent lack of interest on the part of the vast majority of television and radio companies and major newspapers. It was arguably only with the tragic death of Aylan Kurdi and the publication of pictures of his body on a beach in Turkey that Western public opinion and global media finally woke up. Immediately, media lenses focused sharply on the humanitarian crisis in the Mediterranean and both politicians and ordinary people had to respond. What about the many other humanitarian crises beyond the media’s radar? Every two minutes another South Sudanese child becomes severely malnourished. But these stories are seldom told. But this incident only raised another question. What about the many other humanitarian crises beyond the media’s radar? In war-torn South Sudan, for example. This country is rarely in the limelight. In 2011, it gained independence from Sudan ending a generation of war. Two years later, the civil war broke out resulting in massive forced dis- placement and today the country is one of the world’s impoverished places. Every two minutes another South Sudanese child becomes severely malnourished. But these stories are seldom told. A South Sudanese colleague told me it was strange to see how things can change from one day to the other only because of international media attention. “In Europe, it was

  • UCD Course Title: Contemporary Issues in Italian Culture and Society

    UCD Course Title: Contemporary Issues in Italian Culture and Society

    SECTION I: Course Overview Critical Perspectives on Italy: Contemporary Culture & Society UCD Course Title: Contemporary Issues in Italian Culture and Society UNH Course Code: SOC320, ANT320 UCD Course Code: ITA108S Subject Areas: Sociology, Anthropology Prerequisites: Two one-hundred or one two-hundred level course in Anthropology, Sociology, Italian Studies, Cultural Studies, or approval of Academic Director. Language of Instruction: English Contact Hours: 45 Recommended Credits: 3 TIME: TUES. 3:00-4.20 THURS. 3:00-4.20 COURSE DESCRIPTION This course provides you with an interactive experience of contemporary life in Italy, by exploring a range of defining features of this country and its people. In-class and on-site lectures will alert you to salient socio- political and cultural phenomena in current Italian life, triggering critical analysis and evaluation of your surroundings. In particular, you will observe and reflect on practices of identity formation, as these are expressed in class, gender, and community relations; political allegiance and conflict; cultural alignment or dissent; social solidarity and artistic innovation. You will actively and independently deploy the primary modes of sociological research to directly engage the host society: participant observation, interviews, and field-notes. These will provide opportunities to compare your own direct experiences with scholarly literature on contemporary Italy in an attempt to identify specific local expressions of broadly identified social patterns. This course is taught in English and requires no prior study of Italian language, but your direct engagement with Italian society will expose you to the Italian language in a variety of contexts, and you will be encouraged to extend and apply your developing language skills at whatever level they are.

    The Idea of the Primary Stage in Alvar Aalto's Drawings

    Alvar Aalto Researchers’ Network Seminar – Why Aalto? 9-10 June 2017, Jyväskylä, Finland [Aalto in Beirut] Contribution, Collaboration and Continuity: The Case of Sabbag Center Roula El Khoury Fayad A/Prof of Architecture [email protected] School of Architecture and Design, Department of Architecture and Interior Design Lebanese American University, Chouran Beirut: 1102 2801, Lebanon M +961 3 681 430 [Aalto in Beirut] Contribution, Collaboration and Continuity The Case of Sabbag Center Roula El Khoury Fayad, A/Prof of Architecture School of Architecture and Design, Department of Architecture and Interior Design Lebanese American University, Designed in collaboration with Alfred Roth, the Sabbag Center is one of the last and lesser known works of Alvar Aalto. Despite distinguishable references to Aalto’s previous works, and in addition to the project’s systematic role in projecting an iconic image for Banque Sabbag, the reading of Sabbag Center is predominantly dictated by its scale and inscription within a larger cluster of modern buildings, and by its use as a significant social reference within oral histories about Beirut. This paper argues that the Sabbag Center largely contributed to the understanding of local economic and political context of the time – Lebanon’s modern history – and should therefore be addressed as such. The local significance of the building is legitimate reason to preserve the site. In the absence of any governmental initiative to protect modern heritage, Fransabank SAL, the private financial institution that presently inhabits the Sabbag Center, is in a position to actively safeguard the complex as part of an important area. fig.1 Sabbag Center, Alvar Aalto and Alfred Roth, 1967–1970 Beirut Local Context and Hamra Street Development Beirut flourished in the 1930’s.

The directory aims to promote interaction and active partnerships among key development organisations in civil society, including NGOs, trade unions, faith-based organizations, indigenous peoples movements, foundations and research centres. In creating opportunities for dialogue with governments and private sector, civil society organizations are helping to amplify the voices of the poorest people in the decisions that affect their lives, improve development effectiveness and sustainability and hold governments and policymakers publicly accountable. In particular, the directory is intended to provide a comprehensive source of reference for development practitioners, researchers, donor employees, and policymakers who are committed to good governance, sustainable development and poverty reduction, through: the

    1 The Limits of Hospitality. Lampedusa, Local Perspectives and Undocumented Migration Paper presented at the Migration Working Group, EUI, Florence, 13.2.2008 First draft, do not quote without permission Heidrun Friese, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt am Main and Europa Universität Viadrina, Frankfurt/Oder In queste mura non ci si sta che di passaggio. Qui la meta è partire Giuseppe Ungaretti Dans les civilisations sans bateaux les rêves se tarissent Michel Foucault Abstract Since the late 1990's the island of Lampedusa has become one of the European frontiers for 'irregular' migrants and asylum seekers and a powerful symbol for European policies that try to limit their entrance. Based on extensive anthropological fieldwork, the paper presents first insights of an ongoing multi- sited project on The Limits of Hospitality and envisions the various local actors and areas of conflicts that are articulated by the increasing arrival of undocumented migrants. Historically, hospitality has been a religious and ethical duty, a (sacred) demand of charity, generosity and responsibility. With the development of the modern nation-state, such duties have been inscribed into the procedures of organized, public solidarity and into the national and international legal system that order citizenship, (political) membership and the precarious status assigned to 'aliens' that shape, govern and limit the hospitable welcome of an Other. At the same time, concepts of hospitality gained an immense relevance for ongoing debates on migration, globalization and multiculturalism and are currently been discussed in philosophical debates on renewed forms of cosmopolitism, global justice and the rights of others which aim at troubling the conventional congruence of citizenship, territory and belonging.

Rear Admiral Chris Parry, likened modern immigration to the Goths and Vandals, saying that Europe could be subjected to ‘reverse colonisation’ over the next twelve years.1 Not since the days of Enoch Powell has such apocalyptic language been so acceptable, and its message so widely accepted. There is no recognition of responsibility for the refugees from the wars and anti-Muslim crusades of the middle east, the resource wars of Africa, the fall-out wars born of the perverse boundaries of colonialism and the proxy wars against communism, those displaced by economic wars on the poor or by death squads. They, not the western policies and actions creating or contributing to their displacement, are seen by western European politicians and popular media as ‘the problem’.
