    Lundi 14 Novembre

    ÉDITO Alain Rousset, Président du Festival 2015 et 2016 resteront deux années à part pour notre festival. En novembre dernier, suite aux attentats perpétrés avant la 26° édition, nous avons pris la décision de reporter notre manifestation. Ne pas céder sur nos principes : à savoir qu’un lieu de culture, de savoir et de dialogue comme le Festival ne saurait s’éteindre face à la peur. Ainsi, après « Un si Proche-Orient, » c’est le thème « Culture et liberté » qui s’impose comme une réponse fédératrice et constructive au climat anxiogène. Comme un lien emblématique entre les deux éditions de 2016, c’est Chahdortt Djavann, femme de conviction, écrivain française d’origine iranienne, qui nous parlera de culture au pluriel et de liberté à partir de son expérience singulière. Et nous sommes fiers de présenter le film posthume d’Andrezj Wajda qui dans « Afterimage » revient sur les persécutions subies par les artistes de l’autre côté du rideau de fer. De Khomeyni aux djihadistes, de Staline à Hitler, les régimes totalitaires n’ont eu de cesse d’anéantir la culture ou de l’instrumentaliser. Car l’expression artistique est une forme de liberté qui peut remettre en cause un pouvoir politique, religieux ou économique. Le premier enjeu de cette édition est de raconter et d’expliquer comment les artistes, les écrivains ont participé à l’Histoire. Comment, grâce à leur indépendance, à leur génie, ils ont pu éclairer, enchanter leur époque, briser les conformismes. Quelles ont été leurs géniales intuitions, leurs héroïques résistances ou leurs compromissions, leurs aveuglements. Le second enjeu est de montrer comment la culture peut rassembler, éveiller, émerveiller.

It takes mucho cojones—18 of them, apparently—to stage a giant, carnival-like festival for your first live appearance in a foreign country, and that's exactly what SLIPKNOT did in December of 2015 when they held the seventh Knotfest in Toluca, Mexico (about an hour's drive west of Mexico City). The band's performance was captured on the just-released "Day Of The Gusano" , but instead of being advertised as a live DVD or concert film, "Gusano" (Spanish for "maggot", a word long ago appropriated by the band to describe its fans) has been described as a "documentary". Don't be misled, however, for around four-fifths of its 90-minute running time, "Gusano" , which was screened in select theaters around the world, shows SLIPKNOT performing a 16-song set before an enormous, passionate crowd. (For reasons unknown, the DVD and Blu-ray editions rearrange the track listing from the audio-only release. That version showcases the group's complete 17-song set in the same order in which it was performed, and omits "People = Shit" .) The remaining quarter-hour or so primarily features snippets of interviews with unmasked band members and a handful of unidentified Mexican fans, with both camps attempting to portray the group's arrival in town as a Really.

    Before Entering Upon Mr. Rodman's Own Relation

    Bibliography and Acknowledgements “Before entering upon Mr. Rodman’s own relation, it will not be improper to glance at what has been done by others, in the way of discovery…” —Edgar Allan Poe, Burton’s Gentleman’s Magazine, and Monthly American Review (Philadelphia: William E. Burton) 1840. I am grateful to the persons and authors whose work I have utilized in the making of this one. The debts to M. Verne and Mr. Melville are too extensive to repay, or even adequately to acknowledge. Reading their works has made me the writer – and the person – I am today. My theft here of their creations is not something I will here try to justify. Yet it is true: the worlds that they created have become our worlds. 1 Chapter One contains language and concepts from “Concepts of Stroke Before and after Virchow” by Francis Schiller.1 Descriptions of the Soliton, staring in Chapter Two and continuing throughout, paraphrase Russell’s work on Solitary Waves.2 I’ve also drawn on the Wikipedia entry on Waves of Translation3 as well as the Heriot Watt University Department of Mathematics site.4 Chapter Two also contains specific vocabularies used by the British to render their colonial subjects as Other, as intrinsically murderous: the words Lascar, Dacoit, Dacoity, Thug, and Thuggee were appropriated from Sax Rohmer.5 Chapter Three draws from, and contains sentences from, the 1910 Encyclopedia Britannica article on the Indian Mutiny6, and from contemporaneous 1 Francis Schiller, “Concepts of Stroke Before and after Virchow” in Med.

  • Slipknot – Iowa (2001)

    Slipknot – Iowa (2001)

    Slipknot – Iowa (2001) Album named after the band's home state of Iowa Bio of the band: Slipknot is a heavy-metal band consisting of nine members, all of whom are male, who became popular because of its extreme music and dramatic stage performances. This group was first formed in the late 1995 in the unlikely locale of Des Moines, IA. It had 3 percussionists, 2 guitarists, 1 bassist, a DJ, a sampler and a lead singer. Aside from their real names, members of the band are also referred to by numbers 0 through 8 and each of them also wears a mask, which they said is part of their personality, like an extension of their body. To explain that, all the group members believe that wearing the masks shows more of what they are like inside and what the music does to them inside. Members include: #1 Joey Jordon- drums (1995-2013) # 2 Paul Gray- bass (1995-2010) #3 Chris Fehn- percussion (1998– present) #4 Jim Root – guitar (1999 – present) #5 Craig Jones - samples (1996 – present) #6 Shawn Crahan -percussion (1995 – present) #7 Mick Thompson -guitar (1996 – present) #8 Corey Taylor - vocals (1997 – present) #9 Sid Wilson - DJ (1998 – present) Iowa Biography: The state of Iowa is probably best known as "the middle of nowhere." Most non-residents consider it the corn-and-pig-state, a geographical black hole. After a couple years of relentless touring in support of their self-titled breakthrough album, Slipknot regrouped to record Iowa, an ode to their home state that consolidates and punctuates everything that had garnered the band its cultish following.
