  • LIBERIA War in Lofa County Does Not Justify Killing, Torture and Abduction
    LIBERIA War in Lofa County does not justify killing, torture and abduction “One of the ATU [Anti-Terrorist Unit] told the others ‘He is going to give us information on the rebel business’. They took me to Gbatala. I saw many holes in which prisoners were held. I could hear them crying, calling for help and lamenting that they were hungry and they were dying.” Testimony of a young man detained at Gbatala military base in August 2000. Introduction The continuation of hostilities in Liberia cannot be used as a justification for killing, torture and abduction. Unarmed civilians are again the main victims of fighting in Liberia – a country still bearing the scars of its seven-year civil war when massive human rights abuses were committed by all sides with impunity. Since mid-2000, dozens of civilians have allegedly been extrajudicially executed and more than 100 civilians, including women, have been tortured by the Anti-Terrorist Unit (ATU) and other Liberian security forces. People have been tortured while held incommunicado, especially at the military base in Gbatala, central Liberia, and the ATU cells behind the Executive Mansion, the office of the presidency in Monrovia, the capital. Women and young girls have been raped by the security forces. All these victims were suspected of backing the armed incursions by Liberian armed opposition groups from Guinea into Lofa County, the northern region of Liberia bordering with Guinea and Sierra Leone. The security forces have mostly targeted members of the Mandingo ethnic group whom they associate with ULIMO-K 1 , a predominantly Mandingo warring faction in the 1989-1996 Liberian civil war, accused by the Liberian government of being responsible for the armed incursions into Lofa County in 1999, notably in April and August of that year and since July 2000.

  • Between Species: Choreographing Human And
    BETWEEN SPECIES: CHOREOGRAPHING HUMAN AND NONHUMAN BODIES JONATHAN OSBORN A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN DANCE STUDIES YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MAY, 2019 ã Jonathan Osborn, 2019 Abstract BETWEEN SPECIES: CHOREOGRAPHING HUMAN AND NONHUMAN BODIES is a dissertation project informed by practice-led and practice-based modes of engagement, which approaches the space of the zoo as a multispecies, choreographic, affective assemblage. Drawing from critical scholarship in dance literature, zoo studies, human-animal studies, posthuman philosophy, and experiential/somatic field studies, this work utilizes choreographic engagement, with the topography and inhabitants of the Toronto Zoo and the Berlin Zoologischer Garten, to investigate the potential for kinaesthetic exchanges between human and nonhuman subjects. In tracing these exchanges, BETWEEN SPECIES documents the creation of the zoomorphic choreographic works ARK and ARCHE and creatively mediates on: more-than-human choreography; the curatorial paradigms, embodied practices, and forms of zoological gardens; the staging of human and nonhuman bodies and bodies of knowledge; the resonances and dissonances between ethological research and dance ethnography; and, the anthropocentric constitution of the field of dance studies. ii Dedication Dedicated to the glowing memory of my nana, Patricia Maltby, who, through her relentless love and fervent belief in my potential, elegantly willed me into another phase of life, while she passed, with dignity and calm, into another realm of existence. iii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my phenomenal supervisor Dr. Barbara Sellers-Young and my amazing committee members Dr.

  • Ita Di Prometheus Nei Cinema Mondiali
    . Sir Ridley Scott, il celebrato realizzatore che ha reinventato il genere della fantascienza quando ha diretto Alien, un rivoluzionario mix di fantascienza e horror, seguito da Blade Runner, uno dei più acclamati e influenti film moderni di genere, offre il suo caratteristico marchio di azione, emozioni, spaventi e molto altro, grazie all’uscita di Prometheus nei cinema mondiali. Con Prometheus, Scott ha creato una nuova mitologia, in cui una squadra di esploratori scopre degli indizi sulle origini dell’umanità, che li porta a compiere un viaggio eccitante a bordo della nave spaziale Prometheus, fino alle profondità più oscure dell’universo, dove avverrà una battaglia terribile per salvare la razza umana. Sebbene non abbia diretto una pellicola di fantascienza negli ultimi tre decenni, l’interesse di Ridley Scott verso questo genere non è mai venuto meno. Avendo dato vita a due dei più acclamati film di genere di tutti i tempi, il suo ritorno doveva essere contrassegnato da un’idea notevole. “Negli ultimi decenni, si è abusato dell’azione, dei mostri e della fantascienza al cinema”, sostiene Scott. “Quindi la domanda fondamentale era: quanto possiamo essere originali?”. “E’ da tanti anni che non faccio film di fantascienza. Io sono stato impegnato in altre pellicole e a esplorare generi diversi, ma la ragione di questa assenza è anche legata al fatto di non aver trovato nulla che valesse la pena realizzare in termini di verità, originalità e forza. Prometheus possiede invece tutte queste caratteristiche”. Il concetto alla base di Prometheus ha avuto inizio con una figura appena accennata in Alien e che sembrava dimenticata una volta che il protagonista xenomorfo è balzato letteralmente in scena.
