To date, more than 1.3 million Iraqis remain displaced from their homes inside Iraq and some 470,000 dis- placed Iraqis strive to survive as squat- ters in dilapidated public buildings or makeshift settlements. In Diwaniyah, a city in central Iraq, some 12,000 displaced Iraqis and squatters live in 13 settlements that lack potable water, sewage and garbage collection. Access to schools and health centers is also generally a challenge considering that most displaced families don’t have an income.

    E U R O P E ALBANIA From 27 May to 22 June, UNHCR organised an exhibition of paintings titled "Colours of Albania in the World" at the Albanian Gallery of Arts. The exhibition brought home 23 Albanian artists living and working abroad. Some are refugees from the previous regime, others are migrants, but all have been living abroad for many years. The artwork reflects their nostalgia for their home country, and artists Ibrahim Kodra and Omer Kaleshi have been called symbols of Albanian culture. The exhibition focused on respect for migrants and refugees, as well as on the positive contributions they can make to host societies. About 600 persons attended the launching ceremony. Media coverage was excellent, including 30 articles and 18 TV and radio mentions during the month of the exhibition. About USD 20,000 were raised through local fundraising efforts to cover the expenses of the event. The exhibition was organised in partnership with the International Organization for Migration and the National Gallery of Arts, under the auspices of the Albanian Prime Minister. ARMENIA UNHCR participated in the morning TV programme on Armenian national TV. During the programme, a UNHCR official answered questions related to housing projects and the local integration of refugees. In addition, some Armenian TV stations broadcast the World Refugee Day TV spot for 15 days. An exhibition-sale of refugees' art work was also organised to show that the most appropriate durable solution for ethnic Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan is local integration in Armenia. The exhibition was appreciated; some of the refugees were asked to make some crafts for souvenir shops.

  • Jameel Journey to Turkey Ends with Ankara Exhibition for Participants
    PRESS RELEASE Jameel Journey to Turkey Ends with Ankara Exhibition for Participants JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia – May 29, 2016 Art Jameel and The Crossway Foundation are pleased to announce an exciting conclusion to Jameel Journey to Turkey, the latest in a series of collaborative initiatives to give young artists with ties to the Gulf region the opportunity to work and travel across international borders. An exhibition of work by the six young photographers from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain who set out on an eleven-day trip around Turkey from May 12 to 23, is now on display at Ka Atolyesi in Ankara, where the participants have also produced a publication on the subject of this year’s theme, migration. The six participants are the previous winners of Art Jameel Photography Award. Imogen Ware, Managing Director of the Crossway Foundation, which organised Jameel Journey to Turkey, said: “It was an enriching experience for all parties involved. Thinking about photography and Turkey within the framework of migration inspired conversations on many subjects, ranging from the photographer's responsibility in the political and social context of 2016 to the commonalities between the Gulf region and Turkey as crossroads of different cultures.” During their time in Turkey the photographers received a private lecture and portfolio review from conceptual artist and photographer Orhan Cem Çetin, visited the studio of artist- photographer Ali Taptık, heard talks from prominent photographers, artists and curators such as Bikem Ekberzade, Özge Ersoy, Zeynep Beler, Beril Gür, and Sevim Sancaktar at cultural institutions including Istanbul Modern and Collector Space, and explored and photographed Istanbul’s picturesque Princes’ Islands with members of Geniş Açı Project Office (GAPO) and NAR Photos.

  • Sergius As Writer
    chapter 2 Sergius as Writer Many of the translations Sergius made and commentaries he composed were part of the Alexandrian curriculum. From his preface to the Commentary on the Categories (to Theodore), we understand that he had already translated some medical works before he wrote this philosophical text. A more recent evalua- tion of Sergius’ writings was done by Hugonnard-Roche in 1997 (reprinted in 2004: 123–142, and see now idem, 2016: 214–227). 2.1 Original Works Sergius’ original works and translations will be arranged according to the sci- entific branch, dealing, in the first place, with the extant works, beginning with his philosophical production, which is most relevant to our study. The Syriac headings will also be given in order to illustrate how Sergius and his works are labelled: 2.1.1 Philosophical Works Here Considered Authentic – Commentary on Aristotle’s Categories, to Theodore of Karkh Guddan,1 which in the later Syriac manuscripts (Paris and Mingana) bears the title: ܗܬ熏ܢܒrqܡܕ̈ 焏rqܢ 爏ܥ ܣܘrqqqܪܐ 爿qܓrܣ ܝrܡܠ 煟qܒܥܕ ܐܬ熏ܢܒrqܡ a city of Khurasan ,مرو and ܡrܘ) He was falsely identified with a Theodore, bishop of Merv 1 in today’s Turkmenistan, see Renan 1852a: 320 n. 1), until Hugonnard-Roche (2004: 126 n. 2) showed that he must be the little known Theodore, bishop of Karkh Guddan.

    ` Cholera Task Force-IRAQ Update on Current Cholera Outbreak in Iraq. SITREP – Situation Report – N° 20 22.11.2015 (Epi Week 47) HiGhlight: ñ The overall trends for cholera outbreak in most of the governorates has continued to decline over the past three weeks with a few cases being reported from the affected districts or governorates, suggesting improvement in detection, testing and response to the outbreak by health authorities and partners. ñ Since the first laboratory-confirmed case of cholera in Iraq was notified officially to WHO on 15 September 2015 in Alshamiya district in Diwaniya governorate, the Ministry of Health has collected 119,983 stool samples for suspected cholera. ñ A total of 4,864 cases tested at provincial laboratories have been reported from the country, with 2 related deaths as of 22 November 2015. The positive stool samples were re-tested at the central public health laboratory (CPHL) in Baghdad for quality purposes and only 2,810* stools samples were found to be positive for Vibrio cholerae 01 Inaba. ñ Currently, 17 out of the 18 governorates in Iraq have reported laboratory-confirmed cases. The central public health laboratory has identified that the causative strain of this outbreak is Vibrio cholerae 01 Inaba. ñ The strain has been found to be sensitive to commonly-used antibiotics, including tetracycline, doxycycline, ciprofloxacin and erythromycin. A total of 16 vibrio cholera isolates have been sent to the Pasteur Institute in France for genotyping and other advanced testing. ñ Nearly 11 districts within Baghdad, Babylon, Diwaniya and Kerbala governorates have reported over 73% of all laboratory-confirmed cholera cases, and most of these districts receive their water supply solely from the Euphrates River.

The new and previously exhibited artworks on display will explore the theme of “Homeland” (Anavatan, Heimat, Patria), chosen by a curatorial team of Beral Madra, Deniz Erbaş and Seyhan Boztepe. The Turkish city of Çanakkale is located on the Dardanelles Strait, just north of the epicentre of the European refugee crisis in the Aegean Sea, and the curators have chosen to focus on a crucial concept behind the constant succession of global migrations and flows of refugees and exiles: the imagery and visions of the idea of homeland, which are bound to 20th-century nationalism and its after-effects. Discussing the theme of this year’s Biennial, curator Beral Madra said: “The 5th International Çanakkale Biennial will be a perfect opportunity for us to face and challenge global human movement with the universal language of contemporary art and thus have a civil commitment and positioning towards the ongoing tragedy. The Biennial will try to raise questions about the sustainability of ideas of national and ethnic identity in a world whose borders are becoming increasingly accidental and penetrable.

  • Towards a Deleuzian Approach in Urban Design
    Difference and Repetition in Redevelopment Projects for the Al Kadhimiya Historical Site, Baghdad, Iraq: Towards a Deleuzian Approach in Urban Design A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN ARCHITECTURE In the School of Architecture and Interior Design Of the college of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning 2018 By Najlaa K. Kareem Bachelor of Architecture, University of Technology 1999 Master of Science in Urban and Regional Planning, University of Baghdad 2004 Dissertation Committee: Adrian Parr, PhD (Chair) Laura Jenkins, PhD Patrick Snadon, PhD Abstract In his book Difference and Repetition, the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze distinguishes between two theories of repetition, one associated with the ‘Platonic’ theory and the other with the ‘Nietzschean’ theory. Repetition in the ‘Platonic’ theory, via the criterion of accuracy, can be identified as a repetition of homogeneity, using pre-established similitude or identity to repeat the Same, while repetition in the ‘Nietzschean’ theory, via the criterion of authenticity, is aligned with the virtual rather than real, producing simulacra or phantasms as a repetition of heterogeneity. It is argued in this dissertation that the distinction that Deleuze forms between modes of repetition has a vital role in his innovative approaches to the Nietzschean’s notion of ‘eternal return’ as a differential ontology, offering numerous insights into work on issues of homogeneity and heterogeneity in a design process. Deleuze challenges the assumed capture within a conventional perspective by using German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche’s conception of the ‘eternal return.’ This dissertation aims to question the conventional praxis of architecture and urban design formalisms through the impulse of ‘becoming’ and ‘non- representational’ thinking of Deleuze.
