ICORN Brochure 2017 PROTECT PROMOTE PARTICIPATE Photo from the Gezi Park protests in Turkey 2013. By Iranian photographer Hossein Salmanzadeh, ICORN artist-in-residence in Dalarna, Sweden 2014-2016.

Brozgal, Chair “The Algerian War of Independence in Algerian bande dessinée” is animated by the question of how bande dessinée from Algeria represent the nation’s struggle for independence from France. Although the war is represented extensively in bande dessinée from France and Algeria, French texts are more well-known than their Algerian counterparts among scholars and bédéphiles alike. Catalysts behind this project are the disproportionate awareness and study of French bande dessinée on the war and the fact that critical studies of Algerian bande dessinée are rare and often superficial. This project nevertheless builds upon existing scholarship by problematizing its assumptions and conclusions, including the generalization that Algerian bande dessinée that depict the war are in essence propagandistic in nature. Employing tools of comics analysis and inflecting my research with journalistic work coming out of Algeria, this project attempts to rectify the treatment of Algerian bande dessinée in critical scholarship by illustrating ii the rich tradition of historical representation in the medium.

  • The West Cannot Indefinitely Accommodate Islamist Extremism
    iStock A silent march of solidarity for the victims of the Paris terrorists takes place in Montréal, January 11, 2015. The West cannot indefinitely accommodate Islamist extremism Writing in response to the tragic massacre in Paris, Western University professor Salim Mansur writes that nations such as France and Canada have failed to devise a credible policy to counter the Islamist’s war against the West. Salim Mansur fter the public outrage over the massacre at Charlie Hebdo were brothers Saïd Kouachi and Chérif Kouachi. They were Hebdo, after the denunciations and piles of editorials in their early-thirties born of Algerian immigrant parents in Paris, condemning the chillingly bloody assault on free speech and more or less abandoned to the vagaries of life in poverty. From byA Muslim extremist terrorists, after holding hands and marching the shadowy under-class world of low crimes to the certainties in Paris with political leaders from around the world, the question of jihad as a soldier of Allah is the allure of Islamism for those, remains “then what?” such as the Kouachi brothers, searching for some purpose in life.

    “Il n’est nullement question de faire gouverner la société par les femmes mais bien de savoir si elle ne serait pas mieux gouvernée par les hommes et par les femmes.” John STUART MILL Une association pour ré-agir au féminin A Charb, mon ami. Dès que j'ai appris mercredi le massacre perpétré contre les journalistes de Charlie, par un SMS reçu à Ankara où j'intervenais lors d'un colloque pour faciliter l'accès des femmes aux fonctions électives au niveau local, j'ai immédiatement pensé à Charb et à Gérard Biard. Gérard a répondu tout de suite à mon message, me disant qu'il était à Londres. Mais dès que j'ai pu avoir accès à Internet (pas de wi-fi à l'université d’Ankara) j’ai appris l'horrible nouvelle Cabu, Tignou, Wolinski et Charb avaient été assassinés par des malades mentaux qui s’imaginaient obéir à un dieu... J'ai eu le plaisir de connaitre Charb depuis l'année où il a présidé le jury de la laïcité. Cette année-là, je défendais ardemment la candidature de Djemila Benhabib, pour le prix international. Deux candidatures se sont vite détachées, avec un score très serré. Charb a suivi mon argumentation. Le discours de Djamila lors de la remise du prix justifia pleinement notre choix. Depuis à chaque réunion du jury et lors de la remise des prix, nous avons le plaisir de discuter. En octobre dernier à l'Hôtel de Ville de Paris lors de la remise du prix à Shoukria Haïdar, je lui ai dit mon amusement et mon admiration devant la manière dont il avait montré l'exploitation des mères porteuses dans le dernier numéro du magazine.

  • Charlie Hebdo: Le Juteux Commerce Du Blasphème
    Charlie Hebdo: le juteux commerce du blasphème Par Éric Verhaeghe Charlie Hebdo devient-il peu à peu le symbole d’une France à la dérive, déchirée entre ses valeurs profondes et un monde dans lequel elle ne trouve pas sa place? L’affaire du licenciement (probable) de la journaliste Zineb El Rhazoui en confirme le sentiment, éveillé par les polémiques soulevées par ailleurs par Caroline Fourest ou Jeannette Boughrab. Combien rapporte le business du blasphème? Il y a, bien entendu, la vérité officielle, celle qu’on sert aux Français dans les médias subventionnés:Charlie Hebdo incarne la liberté d’expression et symbolise le souffle gaulois qui a traversé les siècles. Et puis il y a la vraie vie qui se déroule derrière la façade repeinte en blanc le 11 janvier pour cimenter l’unité nationale. Comme toute la presse écrite, Charlie Hebdo crevait la dalle avant le 7 janvier et faisait périodiquement de la caricature de Mahomet pour relancer ses ventes, comme l’Express fait du franc-maçon ou d’autres font de l’astrologie, de la sexologie ou autres marronniers qui arrondissent les fins de mois. Les actionnaires de Charlie Hebdo sont en partie responsables de cette débandade. Entre 2006 et 2009, ils n’ont pas hésité à se verser près de 4 millions d’euros de dividendes, grâce aux bénéfices tirés de la publication des… caricatures de Mahomet en 2006 – publication qui explique au moins formellement l’attentat du 7 janvier. Il n’y a bien entendu rien d’illégal dans tout cela, simplement, tous les discours sur le droit au blasphème en prennent un coup dans le bec: on est loin du combat désintéressé pour la liberté d’expression.

  • Panafricansolidarityeritrea 1 Your Excellency, President Isaias Aferwerki
    Your Excellency, President Isaias Aferwerki: We write to convey our most sincere congratulations upon your country’s normalization of diplomatic relations with Ethiopia. This is a development much appreciated by all Africans of goodwill. We write to you in our capacity as citizens of Africa to pledge our unequivocal solidarity with all the people of Eritrea. This includes the many Eritreans we see enduring all manner of risk and suffering in search of a better life outside their homeland. We acknowledge that we too hail from nations with varying governance and developmental challenges. We write to you, in the spirit of Pan- African solidarity, to seek common solutions to our shared problems. Africa’s many disparate nation states have undergone significant and diverse changes over the course of the last two decades. [Today, many more Africans live in freedom than under repression]. Importantly, those African countries that have made the most progress - including attracting investment and tourism - over the last 25 years have been those whose citizens enjoy greater freedom of expression, press and movement, the rule of law, an independent judiciary, and political pluralism. Sadly, in these critical areas, Eritrea has not kept pace with the changes seen elsewhere. Over the past two decades Eritrea has been described as the most closed society on our continent, an unfortunate situation for a country with such rich human capital and potential, with so much to offer not only Africa but also the world. We trust that by opening this channel of communication with Your Excellency, we may be afforded the opportunity to work with you to restore your country and the great people of Eritrea to their rightful place in the family of African nations.

  • Why Academic Freedom Matters Cademic Freedom in British Universities Has Become a a Response to Current Challenges
    Institute for the Study of Civil Society 55 Tufton Street, London, SW1P 3QL Tel: 020 7799 6677 Email: [email protected] Web: www.civitas.org.uk Why Academic Freedom Matters cademic freedom in British universities has become a A response to current challenges national talking point. Government policies such as the Why Academic Freedom Matters A Prevent Duty and the Research Excellence Framework pose a threat to academic freedom, as do students – and increasingly scholars themselves – who want to turn the campus into an intellectual ‘safe space’. Yet despite the seemingly novel nature of current preoccupations, debates over academic freedom have a long history. This book explores why, for centuries, scholars have considered intellectual autonomy essential for the pursuit of truth and the advancement of knowledge. Contributors to Why Academic Freedom Matters come from a variety of institutions, disciplines and career stages. Together, they consider the key threats to academic freedom today that emanate from national government policies, institutional practices, student-led groups and the desire from scholars themselves not to upset either students or colleagues. Each chapter offers a different perspective on the continued importance of academic freedom within a changing university. The volume as a whole provides a timely discourse on the connection between free enquiry and academia’s historic mission to advance the sum of human knowledge. In making the case for free, open and robust debate, this book points to the many ways in which academic
