In the Basque Country, 1895 marked the birth of the Partido Nacionalista Vasco (Basque Nationalist Party), concurrent with the development of the cultural nationalist movement known as the ‘Gaelic revival’ in pre-revolutionary Ireland. In 1939, the Spanish Civil War ended with the destruction of the Spanish Second Republic, plunging Basque nationalism into decades of intense persecution. Conversely, at this same time, Irish nationalist aspirations were realized to an unprecedented degree during the ‘republicanization’ of the Irish Free State under Irish leader Éamon de Valera.

  • Victor Martin À Auschwitz 1942 – 1943 Un Homme Seul Face À La Barbarie
    1 LA MISSION EXEMPLAIRE DE VICTOR MARTIN À AUSCHWITZ 1942 – 1943 UN HOMME SEUL FACE À LA BARBARIE PAR BERNARD KROUCK1 Parler de Victor Martin aujourd’hui, plus de soixante ans après sa mission à Auschwitz, c’est évoquer l’une des figures les plus étonnantes et les plus attachantes de la Résistance en Belgique, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Victor Martin est né le 19 janvier 1912 à Blaton, une petite localité du Hainaut, située à proximité immédiate de la frontière française. Fils d’un petit industriel de la bonneterie, Victor Martin fait de brillantes études au Collège catholique d’Ath, qu’il poursuit à l’Université catholique de Louvain, études couronnées par un doctorat de sociologie. Pour le mener à bien, Martin n’hésite pas à descendre à la mine de Boussu pour connaître les conditions de vie et de travail des ouvriers et à voyager dans l’Europe des années 1930, dans l’Allemagne nazie constellée de croix gammées, dans la France du Front Populaire et enfin en Suisse, où il mènera bien plus tard une partie de sa carrière professionnelle. Très vite, il s’éveille aux questions sociales, politiques et internationales. Dans cette Belgique d’avant-guerre, marquée par la crise, le mouvement rexiste de Léon Degrelle inquiète par ses outrances. A Blaton, le jeune Victor, auréolé de ses diplômes universitaires, entretient ses amis et ses voisins de ce qu’il a vu à l’étranger, mais aussi des menaces qui se profilent à l’horizon, la guerre civile qui ravage l’Espagne, l’agression de la République de Chine par l’armée japonaise..

With the introduction of ETRS89 a European-wide coordinate reference system is defined which allows to express all geo-basis data in a common reference system. A basic principle of the coordination work is that networks can be densified from a global level down to a local level. If similar methods and models are applied this can even be done without loss of precision compared to a solution where global and local data are analysed in a common adjustment. In geodesy, this method was applied more than 100 years ago when the national triangulation networks were adjusted. In satellite geodesy this method is used right from the beginning: Global permanent stations are used for estimating global parameters. These estimates are then used for further densifying the networks on the continental or local scale. In statistics this approach is also called “Sequential Least Squares Adjustment”. This method is perfectly suited to estimate densified velocity fields in Europe. Reference frame maintenance means in general to keep track of the position as well as the possible movement of a station. On a global level, station velocities may reach several centimetres per year and a realization of a reference frame means to assign coordinates at a certain epoch and velocities to a station.

Curated by Sophia Yadong Hao. Written, choreographed and directed by Georgina Starr. Link to video GEORGINA STARR the betrayal of identity by the mass media In The Bunny Lakes are Missing installation at Pink- summer Genoa, 2000??, Starr created an allegorical installation based on Otto Preminger’s 1965 thriller Bunny Lake is Missing. Preminger’s film is set in Lon- don where an American single mother arrives with her four-year-old daughter. We never see her child, even when she is supposedly dropped off at a nursery school, and when she goes missing the police and the viewers are left in some doubt as to whether she ever existed. Starr’s The Bunny Lakes are Missing is not an appropriation in the sense that Hans Haacke, Victor Burgin and Barbara Kruger appropriated mass media in the late 1970s and 1980s. It is instead a poetic inter- pretation and intermixing of Preminger’s concept with many other intertextual threads including Peter Bog- danovich’s film Targets, 1967, Starr’s childhood and adolescence and more general reflections on female identity within a postindustrial world saturated with cinematic, televisual and commercial representations of femininity.

  • Places of Complicity in Narratives of Historical Violence: Thiaroye (Dakar) and District Six (Cape Town) by Clea M. Goldblatt
    Places of Complicity in Narratives of Historical Violence: Thiaroye (Dakar) and District Six (Cape Town) By Clea M. Goldblatt A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Karl Britto, Chair Professor Souleymane Bachir Diagne Professor Gillian Hart Professor Chana Kronfeld Professor Debarati Sanyal Professor Barbara Spackman Spring 2015 1 Abstract Places of Complicity in Narratives of Historical Violence: Thiaroye (Dakar) and District Six (Cape Town) by Clea M. Goldblatt Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature University of California, Berkeley Professor Karl Britto, Chair In Places of Complicity, I consider how narratives of the past of two African places obscure, and sometimes explore, complicity. For primarily activist-intellectual publics, Thiaroye and District Six have been icons of “memory” of racist violence and resistant community. I argue that dominant discourses of memory that surround these two sites share a representational mode and perform analogous elisions of the past. They work primarily through a particularly mimetic form of realism, in which the contemporary subject is interpellated as a remembering subject, interpretation is coded as remembrance, and a representation of the past is conflated with the (remembered) past itself. That past is one of colonial and apartheid violence, and unified, resistant community. These memory discourses thus largely elide the non-dichotomous character of colonial and apartheid rule, with its many “complicit,” intermediary positions. Widely varied intermediary positions were intrinsic to colonial and apartheid rule: among them were those of the civil servant, the native elite, the colonial soldier, the black French citizens of Senegal, and the quasi-citizens classified as “Coloured” by the apartheid state.

  • Bodies of Christ in Seas of Change
    Bodies of Christ in Seas of Change The Relationship between Ecclesiology, Politics and Practice in the Conditioning of Twentieth Century Roman Catholic Responses to Violence Submitted by Matthew John Paul Tan BA (Hons)/LLB A Thesis Submitted in Total Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of a Doctorate in Theology School of Theology Faculty of Theology and Philosophy Australian Catholic University Research Services Macauley Campus PO Box 456 Virginia QLD 4014 Australia Submitted 1st Sept 2009 2 Thesis Abstract This thesis examines how Christian interpretation is shaped by, and also shapes, the political contexts within which the Church is situated. The ecclesial identification of, and response to, sites of political violence serves as this thesis‟ primary point of reference. It argues that ecclesiology, the imaging of the Church as the Body of Christ, constitutes the central node that shapes the Church's reading of the political signs of the times generated by other social bodies. Because the central investigation necessarily implicates both theology and social theory, this thesis begins by identifying frameworks of sociopolitical analysis that properly correlate the two fields. It will critique approaches shaped by the assumptions of Modern social science, whose obsession with autonomous and strategic self- maximization, together with what is only scientifically verifiable, lead to a deliberate a priori exclusion of “irrational” religion. It will also critique seemingly “postmodern” analyses that betray lingering Modern influences, and argue for a more thoroughgoing postmodernism in which individuals, communities, materiality and transcendence operate harmoniously with one another. It will then employ Graham Ward's cultural hermeneutics as the framework that not only exhibits this thoroughgoing postmodernism, but also engages all aspects of this thesis‟ inquiry.
