  • Cedric Jimenez
    THE STRONGHOLD Directed by Cédric Jimenez INTERNATIONAL MARKETING INTERNATIONAL PUBLICITY Alba OHRESSER Margaux AUDOUIN [email protected] [email protected] 1 SYNOPSIS Marseille’s north suburbs hold the record of France’s highest crime rate. Greg, Yass and Antoine’s police brigade faces strong pressure from their bosses to improve their arrest and drug seizure stats. In this high-risk environment, where the law of the jungle reigns, it can often be hard to say who’s the hunter and who’s the prey. When assigned a high-profile operation, the team engages in a mission where moral and professional boundaries are pushed to their breaking point. 2 INTERVIEW WITH CEDRIC JIMENEZ What inspired you to make this film? In 2012, the scandal of the BAC [Anti-Crime Brigade] Nord affair broke out all over the press. It was difficult to escape it, especially for me being from Marseille. I Quickly became interested in it, especially since I know the northern neighbourhoods well having grown up there. There was such a media show that I felt the need to know what had happened. How far had these cops taken the law into their own hands? But for that, it was necessary to have access to the police and to the files. That was obviously impossible. When we decided to work together, me and Hugo [Sélignac], my producer, I always had this affair in mind. It was then that he said to me, “Wait, I know someone in Marseille who could introduce us to the real cops involved.” And that’s what happened.

  • The Azef Affair and Late Imperial Russian Modernity
    Chto Takoe Azefshchina?: The Azef Affair and Late Imperial Russian Modernity By Jason Morton Summer 2011 Jason Morton is a Ph.D. student in the Department of History at the University of California, Berkeley. “Petersburg streets possess one indubitable quality: they transform passersby into shadows.” -Andrei Bely “Now when even was come, he sat down with the twelve. And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.” -Matthew 26: 20-23 Introduction: Azefshchina- What’s in a name? On January 18, 1909 (O.S.) the former Russian chief of police, A.A. Lopukhin, was arrested and his house was searched. Eleven packages containing letters and documents were sealed up and taken away. 1 Lopukhin stood accused of confirming to representatives of the Socialist Revolutionary Party that one of their oldest and most respected leaders, Evno Azef, had been a government agent working for the secret police (Okhrana) since 1893. The Socialist Revolutionaries (or SRs) were a notorious radical party that advocated the overthrow of the Russian autocracy by any means necessary.2 The Combat Organization (Boevaia Organizatsiia or B.O.) of the SR Party was specifically tasked with conducting acts of revolutionary terror against the government and, since January of 1904, Evno Azef had been the head of this Combat Organization.3 This made him the government’s most highly placed secret agent in a revolutionary organization.

  • Terror and Trickster
    ABSTRACT TERROR AND TRICKSTER One of the ways in which rhetors stabilize the meaning of terrorism is through the vilification process. Two sets of artifacts were analyzed to explore the rhetorical mechanisms of and alternatives to radical vilification. The first set of artifacts demonstrates how Orthodox Terrorism Studies (OTS) scholars vilify and exclude Critical Terrorism Studies (CTS) scholars and their ideas. I argue OTS scholars perform rhetorical exclusion (Sanchez, Stuckey, & Morris, 1999) through naming, shifting the burden of proof, and strategic silence (Endres, 2009) to vilify CTS scholars. The second set of artifacts focuses on President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry’s rhetoric about ISIL from the first time they mentioned ISIL up to the execution of James Foley, a journalist. I analyze the speeches for vilification through rhetorical exclusion (naming and strategic silence), metaphors, and the Manichean dichotomy of Good vs. Evil. Finally, an alternative framework is offered to replace radical vilification. The alternative is the Trickster, an archetypal figure common to Native American and other indigenous discourse.

  • Shadow of the Demon Lord: Mortals of Urth by Iganon
    Shadow of the Demon Lord: Mortals of Urth By IGanon In the beginning, there was God, all-powerful, infinite, and alone. Craving companionship, God spoke the first words of power and created the Demiurge and was satisfied. The Demiurge, an extension of God, begun to crave more and more, and so spoke the words of power to create millions of genies from its own body. These genies in turn spoke the words of power and plundered the body of God to create worlds and stars without number, creating an entire multiverse. Yet the more the genies took from God, the more God diminished, and what was once all-powerful, and infinite grew weak and limited, having both substance and form stolen. Not content with stealing from God, the genies stole from the Demiurge too, taking so much the Demiurge split into innumerable fragments. The Divine, reduced to little more than a creature of spite and hatred, was reduced to a mad thing lurking in the void between universes, left only with spite, hatred and the insane craving to undo everything that had been done. It was God no longer, now it is the Demon Lord. The innumerable fragments of what once was the Demiurge, still an extension of the Demon Lord, became the first demons, flitting from world to world, wreaking havoc and devastation and preparing each world for the arrival of the Hunger in the Void, the Demon Lord. The universe that contains the planet Urth, this reality, is the latest one to fall under the Shadow of the Demon Lord.

  • Introduction Armageddon, the Apocalypse, the End of Times. Throughout History, Mankind Has Always Wondered About The
    ● Introduction ○ Armageddon, the apocalypse, the end of times. Throughout history, mankind has always wondered about the fabled end of the world and how it would come about. Would the forces of nature finally decide we are unworthy? Would the greater forces, both holy and unholy, finally come for us? Would we fall due to our own carelessness, as we began to contaminate the place we call home? So many ways we could possibly fall, so many ways our end could occur. So when the end of days finally came, what brought about our doom could never have been foreseen. You want to know what terrible apocalypse finally attempted to bring humanity to it’s knees? ○ Everything. ○ It wasn’t one event to end us, nor was it multiple events over a course of time. Rather many catastrophes, be it scientific or arcane, had occurred at once. The sheer strain of which had separated our once unified earth into separate planets, kept apart by dimensional barriers. In each of these new universes, a new armageddon has occurred, transforming the culture and creating new societies. ○ Yes, societies. It seems that even this event couldn’t quite keep humanity down. Though we are struggling to survive, and there are still hostilities between our separate cultures, we are still around, ready to keep fighting for our freedom if need be. That is where you come in. You see, these worlds have many needs, and som are of the violent or even supernatural sort. You are what some would consider a freelancer; a person willing to do odd jobs in exchange for compensation.

  • Bruce Thompson – ORIAS Summer Institute 2013 1
    Bruce Thompson – ORIAS summer institute 2013 1 “Double Agents and Strategic Deception in the Second World War” Bruce Thompson, History Department, UC Santa Cruz summarized by Stephen Pitcher Professor Thompson introduced the institute participants to the history of undercover travelers in WWII, focusing his presentation on the case study of Joan Pujol Garcia, arguably the most successful double agent in history. Garcia bore the British code name “Garbo,” in tribute to his chameleon-like acting ability. He lived up to the sobriquet — by the end of the war Garcia had invented and maintained a network of twenty-seven entirely non-existent spies stationed around the world, all dutifully remunerated by the Nazis. A clip of the documentary film Garbo the Spy provided some sense of the man’s powers of deception. A Catalan Spaniard caught up in the Spanish Civil War, Joan Pujol Garcia conceived a loathing for the Nazi regime, and repeatedly offered his services in vain to British security agencies before finally began working as an independent double agent, creating for himself a false identity as a Nazi sympathizer in the Spanish government willing to spy for the Germans. The British finally discovered his worth when Garcia convinced the Germans of the existence of a fictitious convoy being dispatched from Liverpool to relieve the siege of Malta, thereby deflecting an enormous quantity of German military force toward an illusory target. The British agent Thomas Harris was appointed his “handler,” and the two of them went on to become one of espionage’s most brilliant acts, employing the time-tested technique of giving the Germans what they wanted to hear, with just enough accuracy to render the information credible, and just enough inaccuracy to render it useless.
