    Берлин , 21 февраля 2006 г. Годовщина Политической Лжи – 20 марта Призыв к всемирным чтениям « Что я слышал об Ираке » Элиота Вайнбергера 20 марта 2006 г. в честь третьей годовщины начала войны Фонд Искусства и Политики Петера Вайсс , расположенный в Берлине , рассылает призыв объявить двадцатое марта ( третья годовщина начала войны в Ираке ) Годовщиной Политической Лжи . Мероприятия, приуроченные к этому дню , должны служить ознакомлению с содержанием и формами политических сообщений и обличению и критике политической лжи доступными методами – в науке и искусстве и в форме карикатуры . Хотя уже в самом начале двадцать первого века стало ясно , что ложь по - прежнему входит в арсенал некоторых политических движений , в тоже время нужно обратить внимание на стойкость оппозиции . Первая Годовщина Политической Лжи будет отмечаться двадцатого марта 2006 г. в разных городах по всему миру, и в число запланированных мероприятий входят чтения « Что я слышал об Ираке » Элиота Вайнбергера . Текст составляют высказывания , сделанные служащими Американской администрации и их союзниками вплоть до начала войны , а затем их же высказывания после начала войны , наряду с высказываниями американских солдат и мирных граждан Ирака . Это история войны в Ираке , рассказанная фразами из речей политиков с 1992 г. по январь 2005 г. После того как текст был опубликован в London Review of Books, он стал наиболее часто посещаемой статьей на вебсайте журнала и был воспроизведен на 100,000 других вебсайтов . Кромк того он был переведен на многие другие языки мира . Продолжение статьи , «Что я слышал об Ираке 2005», было опубликовано в London Review of Books в декабре 2005 г. На сайте www.literaturfestival.com Вы можете познакомиться с оригинальной версией обоих текстов .

  • Ramallah Poetry Festival 15-18 August 2018
    Ramallah Poetry Festival 15-18 August 2018 For the second year, Ramallah launches its poetry festival and opens its windows to welcome the air of the Mediter- ranean sea. This is the Palestinian image for the Voix Vives poetry festival that expands from shore to shore. Ramallah continues to pursue its endeavor to be one of the cities that provides its space for the different manifestations of lan- guage. In this it captures an imaginative collective image of poetic voices. Lively images and profound beating voices that erupt within the body of a place is what can be referred to as memory. Civilization is the readiness to constantly travel between the elements of life, and the consciousness that can continuously connect between time and place and between what was, what is, and what will be. Ramallah’s poetry festival is an honorable recognition that the cities are its poets. It is a generous house of the Mediterranean that welcomes its old and new partners as well as, friends that have witnessed together a single history that comes with a diverse but harmonious rhythm and varying images that are still similar. With the new poetic voices, innovative inspirations, and di- verse spaces, Palestine holds on to the accomplishments it has brought forth last year. With a high sense of responsibil- ity that is shared by the Ramallah Municipality, Mahmoud Darwish Institution, and Association Libre Culture – France, we would like to reiterate our deep gratitude and thanks to all the teams that contributed in preparing and executing this event. We send our warmest thanks to our poets as they celebrate poetry in a city that is joyous in celebrating them.

  • Jahrestag Der Poltischen Lüge Dänisch
    Årsdagen for Den Politiske Løgn – 20. marts - Et opråb til en verdensomfattende oplæsning af Elliot Weinbergers ”Hvad jeg hørte om Irak” den 20. marts 2006, til minde om den 3. årsdag for indmarchen i Irak. Peter Weiss – Stiftelsen for Kunst og Politik i Berlin opfordrer til at holde den 3. årsdag for krigsbegyndelsen i Irak den 20.3., som Årsdag for den Politiske Løgn. Målet med de dertil forbundne arrangementer og aktioner skal være, at belyse bevidstheden om indhold og former for politisk kommunikation, og at underkaste den politiske løgn kritik – i dens forskellige former – om det så er videnskabeligt, kunstnerisk eller i form af en karikatur. Til trods for at vi ved indgangen til det 21. århundrede må erkende, at denne løgn som tidligere benyttes af bestemte politiske formationer, må der samtidigt understreges, at de kræfter som kæmper imod, ikke giver op. Årsdagen for den Politiske Løgn, finder for første gang sted den 20.3.2006 i forskellige byer verden over, med bl.a. forelæsninger af Elliot Weinbergers ”Hvad jeg hørte om Irak”. Teksten er et sammendrag af erklæringer der er lavet af amerikanske regeringsmedlemmer og deres forbundsfæller før og efter krigsudbruddet og er i øvrigt baseret på udtalelser fra pårørende af de amerikanske stridskræfter og den irakiske befolkning. Teksten giver et rids af Irak-krigens historie fra 1992 til 2005 i ”O- toner”. Den blev først publiceret i ”London Review of Books”, er i mellemtiden blevet oversat til flere forskellige sprog og kan til tids dato tælle 100.000 anmærkninger på Internettet. Den uforkortede tyske tekst kan findes i ”Lettre International” 68, Berlin, forår 2005.
