Parisian Noir
Parisian Noir Kristin Ross riting in 1993, at the height of the “spatial turn” in cultural analysis, Rosalyn Deutsche drew our attention to the way in Wwhich the figure of the urban theorist—her examples are Edward Soja and Mike Davis—had merged with that of the private eye in noir fiction and film. Given that the city is both scene and object of noir investigation, she commented, the analogy between the detective’s disinterested search for the hidden truth of the city and the urban scholar’s critique of the capitalist city practically suggests itself.1 Deutsche does not go so far as to explicitly base her case on the centrality of one city—Los Angeles—to both the urban theory then being produced by Soja and Davis and a noir tradition that includes Raymond Chandler and Chinatown. Yet if the analogy works so seamlessly, it clearly has something to do with the way it springs unbidden from the set of representations, both written and figured, that make up an imaginary particular to Los Angeles. And it is also because an earlier subterranean migration between the two figures—a transfer of practices and point of view—had already laid the groundwork for an understanding of the detective himself as a kind of geographer, engaged in the mapping of social space. The detective as social geographer emerged in early essays by Fredric Jameson, writing about Chandler.2 The spatial paradigm provided by the meeting of Jameson, Chandler and the urban particularities of Los Angeles has largely overdetermined the way in which we read detective fiction. -

Moreover, the development of social movements other than the working class after the 1960s further sidelined traditional parties. The anti-capitalist movements in the 1970s and 1980s were looking for new political formations. -

Ils sont à leur tour devenus obscurs, les souvenirs de cette fin des années soixante-dix. L’élan collectif des années d’après 1968 se dissipait, l’oubli de soi laissait la place au souci de soi. Pierre Goldman se détachait du lot. Revenu des maquis du Venezuela, il se tenait aux confins du monde social en compagnie des têtes brûlées, des flamboyants, des voyous guadeloupéens, tâta du vol à main armée, il y eut trois braquages, qu’il revendiqua. Ivre d’histoire (« aucune félicité n’égalait à mes yeux la céleste jouissance des moments historiques d’action extrême, le plaisir souverain de féconder l’histoire1 »), il avait pris au pied de la lettre un mythe royalement servi par l’histoire : la Révolution. -

Rodriguez, member of the national leadership of the Unified Party of Socialist Revolution of Cuba. Carlos Rafael Rodriguez first said he was pleased to be able to talk with comrade Koucky confidentially and to contribute to the elimination of misunderstandings that could possibly arise because the reasons were not explained for Cuba’s positions on issues of the international communist movement, and for speeches and statements of some leading Cuban comrades. At that he emphasized that Fidel Castro was happy to accept an invitation for a UPSR delegation to visit Czechoslovakia, because he as well is very much interested in better and more frequent relations of our two parties. -

The Ideas of Marxism-Leninism Will Triumph on the Revisionism
THE IDEAS OF MARXISM-LENINISM WILL TRIUMPH ON THE REVISIONISM W9 mo «853 19 6 2 (5x mm THE IDEAS OF MARXISM-LENINISM WILL TRIUMPH ON THE REVISIONISM 1962 >0 I .. THE DECLARATION OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE PARTY OF LABOUR OF ALBANIA At the 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union N. Khrushchev publically attacked the Party of Labour of Albania. N. Khrushchev’s anti-marxist slanders and attacks serve only the enemies of com¬ munism and of the People’s Republic of Albania — the various imperialists and Yugoslav revisionists. N. Khrush¬ chev, laying bare the disputes existing long since between the leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the Party of Labour of Albania openly in the face of the enemies, brutally violated the 1960 Moscow declaration which points out that the disputes arousing between the fraternal parties should be settled patiently, in the spirit of proletarian internationalism and on the basis of the principles of equality and consultations. Publically attacking the Party of Labour of Albania, N. Khrushchev effectively began the open attack on the unity of the international communist and workers’ move¬ ment, on the unity of the socialist camp. N. Khrushchev bears full responsibility for this anti-marxist act and for all the consequences following from it. The Party of Labour of Albania, guided by the in¬ terests of the unity of the world communist movement and the socialist camp, with great patience, ever since our disputes arose with the Soviet leadership, has striven to solve them in the correct marxist-leninist way, in the way outlined by the Moscow Declaration. -
Chapter 2 Political Ideology and the Historical Roots of Terrorism
Chapter 2 Political Ideology and the Historical Roots of Terrorism CHAPTER OVERVIEW Chapter 2 explores the political and social theory that motivates certain groups—from the genesis of revolutionary ideology and terror to contemporary hate crime and radical Islamic movements. We start with the historic left-wing ideologies of socialism from the end of the 19th century and trace ideological ties to more contemporary perspectives of revolution in South America and the Middle. The final part of this chapter focuses on the historical roots of terrorism in the Middle East, from early anti-colonial ideology and the mandate system developed at the end of World War I to the establishment of Israel and the beginning of the Palestinian Resistance movement. CHAPTER OBJECTIVES Describe the concept of political terrorism. Provide an overview of leftist terror cells, including Latin American and European groups. Discuss how colonialism and the mandate system set the stage for future conflict in the Middle East. Describe the secular “first wave” Palestinian terror groups. Provide insight into how the United States and its policies have impacted terrorist ideology in the Middle East. LECTURE OUTLINE Introduction The subject of “politics” often provokes intense emotion, generates passionate discussion, and can frequently create extreme resistance to considering another person’s point of view. Identifying with a particular political theory or ideology can also help reduce uncertainty, make a person feel more secure, and increase feelings of solidarity with others. As such, it’s easy to understand “how” terrorists can add to and indoctrinate their ranks, particularly during times of perceived societal upheaval. -
