    In Danny Pearl Book, Lévy Says Next 9/11 Brewing in Pakistan Page 1 of 10 September 14, 2003 | 11:29 PM In Danny Pearl Book, Lévy Says Next 9/11 Brewing in Pakistan Mr. Lévy paints a by Ron Rosenbaum portrait of Mr. Pearl as "I had the feeling," Bernard-Henri Lévy says, "that the 21st a Galahad century really began with the collapse of the Twin Towers and the murder of this piercing the single man, Daniel Pearl." Both are secret of deeply symbolic killings. What’s more, he terrorism’s contends, the same forces behind both Unholy Grail. crimes are now planning something far worse. "It will make 9/11 look prehistoric," Mr. Lévy says. What he learned in investigating the death of Wall Street Journal reporter Pearl, he contends, brought him face to face with the specter of the next 9/11. From the year he spent studying the jihadist alliance in Pakistan that killed Pearl, he has a theory about the nature of "the next 9/11": He believes it is likely to take the shape of a terrorist nuclear attack. I have a theory about Bernard-Henri Lévy and his book about the death of Daniel Pearl. It’s a theory about Mr. Lévy’s theory about Mr. Pearl’s theory, you might say. Mr. Lévy describes his book as "an investigation of the investigation": his investigation of Daniel Pearl’s investigation—and of the official investigation of Mr. Pearl’s death. My theory results, you might say, from an investigation of Mr. Lévy’s investigation of what Daniel Pearl was investigating at the time of his kidnap and murder.

  • Blackface Al Whitewashing O El Racismo En La Industria Cinematográfica
    Del blackface al whitewashing O el racismo en la industria cinematográfica From blackface to whitewashing Or how the film industry is still racist Recibido: 25 de septiembre de 2020 Aprobado: 05 de febrero 2021 Lía Báez Puente Autora independiente Resumen La industria cinematográfica ha estado desde siempre vinculada a una construcción de imaginarios sociales y raciales que, por desgracia a lo largo de la historia, se han enfocado en la discriminación, el racismo y el estereotipo de las minorías. Esta práctica, común en los inicios del cine, desde The Birth of a Nation, no ha parado, sino que ha encontrado otras formas de disimular un estado de permanente segregación racial. Palabras claves: Blackface, Whitewashing, Racismo, Industria Abstract The film industry has always been linked to the construction of social and racial imaginaries, that unfortunately throughout history, have been focused on discrimination, racism and the creation of stereotypes on the minorities. This practice, very common at the beginning of the film industry, since the making of The Birth of a Nation, hasn’t stopped. But has found different ways to disguise a state of permanent racial segregation. Key words: Blackface, Whitewashing, Racism, Industry INMÓVIL/ Vol.6 / N.2 / Diciembre 2020 80 Lia Baez Puente Del blackface al whitewashing O el racismo en la industria cinematográfica Miembros de la Naacp protestando contra El nacimiento de una nación en Nueva York en 1947. Para quienes piensan (¿pensamos?) que el racismo es algo del pasado, cada tanto hay acontecimientos que nos recuerdan o nos advierten que no, que el racismo está tan vigente como siempre.
