  • N°559 DECEMBRE LES ARMES ET LES LARMES 2012 a PROPOS DE LA TUERIE DU CONNECTICUT Une Fois De Plus, La Folie Meurtrière a Frappé Les Etats-Unis
    Par Koffi du 18 Editorial SOUZA N°559 DECEMBRE LES ARMES ET LES LARMES A PROPOS DE LA TUERIE DU CONNECTICUT 2012 Une fois de plus, la folie meurtrière a frappé les Etats-Unis. 26 personnes, dont 20 enfants sont mortes sous les balles d'un tueur dans une école du Connecticut. Et une fois de plus est mise en cause la liberté de s'armer reconnue aux citoyens américains. UNE LIBERTE CONSTITUTIONNELLE On sait en effet que la Constitution américaine précise (AMENDEMENT II (15 décembre 1791)) : "Une milice bien organisée étant nécessaire à la sécurité d'un Etat libre, il ne pourra être porté atteinte au droit du peuple de détenir et de porter des armes." L'idée à l'époque était de garantir la liberté des citoyens face à l'éventuelle oppression d'une armée de métier au service de la Fédération. Depuis, loin de tomber en désuétude, cette liberté de s'armer a été renforcée par la Cour Suprême. On se demandait jusqu'à une date récente si cette impossibilité de limiter le droit de s'armer s'appliquait seulement à l'État fédéral ou bien à toutes les instances nationales ou locales. En 2010, la Cour Suprême a tranché estimant que le deuxième amendement peut s'imposer à chaque État, au même titre que la liberté d'expression ou celle d'exercer la religion de son choix. En d'autres termes, les États ou les municipalités ne peuvent pas limiter la détention d'armes à feu : dans l'arrêt McDonald v. Chicago, la Cour Suprême a annulé les dispositions d'un règlement municipal de la ville de Bi-hebdomadaire Togolais d’Informations et d’Analyses suite à la page

  • Stamping History: Stories of Social Change in Ghana's Adinkra Cloth
    Stamping History: Stories of Social Change in Ghana’s Adinkra Cloth by Allison Joan Martino A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History of Art) in The University of Michigan 2018 Doctoral Committee: Professor Raymond A. Silverman, Chair Professor Kelly M. Askew Assistant Professor Nachiket Chanchani Professor Emeritus Elisha P. Renne Allison Joan Martino [email protected] ORCID iD: 0000-0002-1252-1378 © Allison Joan Martino 2018 DEDICATION To my parents. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In the summer of 2013, I was studying photography and contemporary art in Accra, Ghana’s capital. A conversation during that trip with Professor Kwesi Yankah changed the course of my research. He suggested a potential research project on adinkra. With adinkra everywhere in Ghana today, research possibilities seemed endless. Adinkra appealed to me from my interest in studying Akan visual and verbal arts, a research area nurtured during an ethnopoetics course that Professor Yankah taught as a visiting scholar at Michigan in 2011. That conversation led to this project. Soon after that meeting with Professor Yankah, I took an exploratory research trip to Kumasi. Professor Gilbert Amegatcher, who has a wealth of knowledge about Akan arts and culture, traveled with me. He paved the way for this dissertation, making key introductions to adinkra cloth makers who I continued to work with during subsequent visits, especially the Boadum and Boakye families. My sincerest thanks are due to Professors Yankah and Amegatcher for generating that initial spark and continuing to support my work. Words cannot express my gratitude to the extended members of the Boakye and Boadum families – especially Kusi Boadum, Gabriel Boakye, David Boamah, and Paul Nyaamah – in addition to all of the other cloth makers I met.
