  • An Interview with Eyal Weizman
    Sensible Politics: The Visual Culture of Nongovernmental Politics. Edited by Meg McLagan and Yates McKee. New York: Zone Books, 2012. Pp. 429-451. Forensic Architecture: An Interview with Eyal Weizman Yates McKee and Meg McLagan yates mckee: We would like to start by asking you to talk about the broader tra- jectory of your career. You first gained prominence in the architectural field when the exhibition you cocurated, A Civilian Occupation, was withdrawn as the sub- mission by the Israeli Architecture Association to the 2002 International Union of Architects Congress in Berlin. You were trained professionally as an architect and had a practice, but already in 2002 you were operating in relation to political and human rights activism. How did that come about? eyal weizman: I studied architecture at the Architecture Association School of Architecture in London and in 1996 spent my “year out” working in Tel Aviv. I wanted to volunteer for work at the Palestinian Ministry of Planning. It was the Oslo years, only a few months after [Prime Minister Yitzhak] Rabin was assas- sinated. The Ministry of Planning was on the seam between north Jerusalem and south Ramallah. I volunteered as a planner, but there was not much to do. The offices had large contingents of Norwegians who felt, I assume, responsible for the agreement that bore the name of their capital. I was doing all sorts of planning- assistant tasks, such as hand-rendering plans and so on, when at some point, the planners thought of a better use of my time. As an Israeli, I had access to carto - graphic information that was not otherwise made available to the Palestinians.

  • Ritualdynamics
    Originalveröffentlichung in: H.F.J. Horstmanshoff- H.W. Singor- F.T. van Straten - J.H.M. Strubbe (eds.), Kykeon. Studies in Honour of H.S. Versnel, Leiden-Boston-Cologne: Brill 2002, S. 23-48 RITUAL DYNAMICS: THE BOIOTIAN FESTIVAL OF THE DAIDALA ANGELOS CHANIOTIS 1. Sources and puzzles In Turkish folkore Nasreddin Hoca is a representative of populär wisdom; his stories are well-known in Greece as well. One of them goes as follows: Nasreddin Hoca had been appointed as a judge in a dispute between two men. After the plaintiff had presented his case, Nasreddin Hoca looked at him and said: 'You are right'. Then it was the defendant's turn to present his argument and, again, Hoca's response was the same: 'You are right'. Thereupon one of the on- lookers at the trial turned to Hoca and said: 'You are the judge; you have to pass a judgment now'. Hoca looked at him calmly and an- swered: 'You are right, too'. Whenever I heard this story as a child, I laughed, but at the same time I was puzzled about its meaning. I still am, but I can not help thinking of this story whenever I read different interpretations of the same Greek festival. Of course, not everyone is right, but there is hardly any study which does not offer a new interesting insight. I also could not help thinking of Hoca's story again, when I read the jacket of the second volume of the Inconsistencies in Greek and Roman Religion. There, Henk Versnel expresses his conviction 'that the three approaches to religion known as "sub- stantivistic", functionalist and cultural-symbolic respectively, need not be mutually exclusive.' If I have chosen such a puzzling festival as the Daidala for this paper in honor of Henk Versnel, it is because I think that it pre- sents an interesting case of a ritual, in the study of which different interpretative approaches are not mutually exclusive or contradic- tory, but complementary.

  • Dead Alive, Dead Outside, Alive Inside” “
    24683_U01.qxd 11/15/04 12:53 PM Page 1 Introduction “Dead alive, dead outside, alive inside” “In my thinking, I see that people forgot me.” Catarina said this to me as she sat peddling an old exercise bicycle and holding a doll. This woman of kind manners, with a piercing gaze, was in her early thirties; her speech was lightly slurred. I first met Catarina in March 1997, in southern Brazil at a place called Vita. I remember asking myself: where on earth does she think she is going on this bicycle? Vita is the end- point. Like many others, Catarina had been left there to die. Vita, which means “life” in Latin, is an asylum in Porto Alegre, a com- paratively well-off city of some two million people. Vita was founded in 1987 by Zé das Drogas, a former street kid and drug dealer. After his conversion to Pentecostalism, Zé had a vision in which the Spirit told him to open an institution where people like him could find God and regenerate their lives. Zé and his religious friends squatted on private property near downtown, where they began a makeshift rehabilitation center for drug addicts and al- coholics. Soon, however, the scope of Vita’s mission began to widen. An in- creasing number of people who had been cut off from family life—the men- tally ill and the sick, the unemployed and the homeless—were left there by relatives, neighbors, hospitals, and the police. Vita’s team then opened an in- firmary, where the abandoned waited with death.

  • Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting?
    Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting? For More Information Contact: Tom Rosenstiel, Director, Project for Excellence in Journalism Amy Mitchell, Associate Director Matt Carlson, Wally Dean, Dante Chinni, Atiba Pertilla, Research Nancy Anderson, Tom Avila, Staff Embedded Reporters: What Are Americans Getting? Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has suggested we are getting only “slices” of the war. Other observers have likened the media coverage to seeing the battlefield through “a soda straw.” The battle for Iraq is war as we’ve never it seen before. It is the first full-scale American military engagement in the age of the Internet, multiple cable channels and a mixed media culture that has stretched the definition of journalism. The most noted characteristic of the media coverage so far, however, is the new system of “embedding” some 600 journalists with American and British troops. What are Americans getting on television from this “embedded” reporting? How close to the action are the “embeds” getting? Who are they talking to? What are they talking about? To provide some framework for the discussion, the Project for Excellence in Journalism conducted a content analysis of the embedded reports on television during three of the first six days of the war. The Project is affiliated with Columbia University and funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts. The embedded coverage, the research found, is largely anecdotal. It’s both exciting and dull, combat focused, and mostly live and unedited. Much of it lacks context but it is usually rich in detail. It has all the virtues and vices of reporting only what you can see.
