We are not alone in the universe

A new type of political ecology may lend the Left a broad political platform. But we must first acknowledge wills that are not human. Jonathan Metzger explains why "more-than-humanism" calls for a complete rethink in policy, planning and the law. [ more ]

Naive, the hawks would say

"Ny Tid" says that only diplomacy can defuse the Iranian bomb; "NAQD" warns that the Arab revolutions are not as feminist as the West thinks; "Blätter" wants an enquiry into institutional racism in Germany; "Letras Libres" pays its respects to a rare revolutionary; "Arena" asks the bane of the Norwegian far-Right to explain Breivik; "Res Publica Nowa" struggles for objectivity amidst the tyranny of opinion; "Merkur" is still angry with Kohl; Springerin observes how artists lead the market when it comes to precarity; "L'Homme" finds that international development begins in the home; and "Vikerkaar" reads 150 years of Estonian thanatography.

LATIN-AMERIKA: Et latinamerikansk alternativ?
Er Washington i ferd med å miste grepet om Latin-Amerika?
Latin America breaks free of the US
The US has lost ground in Latin America over the past decade, since the project to develop the Free Trade Area of the Americas flopped and since leftwing governments took power and used it with imagination and vigour. The US continues to try to block such emancipation by promoting more free trade agreements, and increasing military cooperation in the name of the war on terrorism and narcotics and the defence of market democracy.
Jean Radvanyi
VALG I RUSSLAND: Putins Russland
Hvorfor er Putin så populær i den russiske befolkningen?
Putin: Russia’s centre and heart
December’s elections show that Russians continue to support their president, despite the surprisingly autocratic and even coercive nature of his regime. He stands for stability, growth and a hope for a continuing world role for the nation.
Alain Gresh
MIDTØSTEN: USAs nye "bakgård"
USAs visjon om "Stor-Midtøsten" har bidratt til å skape en "ekstrem krigssone".
The Middle-East: The new "backyard" of the US
The US vision of a "Greater Middle-East" has contributed to the creation of an "extreme war-zone"
Jean-Claude Pomonti
VIETNAM: "Forp…e rett-tenkende"
En ny generasjon forfatter og poeter angriper og latterliggjør krigsromantikken og sosialrealismen kommunistpartiet hyller.
Anti-poets reinvent Vietnam
Heroism has always been part of Vietnam’s history since it fought for centuries for independence and unity. But more than two-thirds of all Vietnamese were born after the end of the last war in 1975, so past heroism is no longer a reference for young people. A new generation of writers and poets attack and ridicule the romanticizing of war and the social realism celebrated by the communist party
Jacques Testart
MOLEKYLÆRBIOLOGI: Storebror krever alltid mer
Hva vil molekylærbiologien gjøre med våre liv de neste hundre årene?
Molecular biology: Big Brother always wants more
What will molecular biology do to our lives over the next hundred years?

FILOSOFI: Tanken om det engagerede menneske
Le Monde Diplomatique har mødt den efterhånden verdenskendte engelske filosof Simon Critchley på Københavns Dokumentarfilmfestival hvor Critchley vil give sit bud på politisk modstand i dag.
Philosophy: Thinking of the engaged individual

Christian Salmon
PROPAGANDA: Fiksjonens realpolitikk
Et helt nytt forhold mellom politikk og virkelighet er i ferd med å oppstå. Lederne av verdens mektigste stat fjerner seg ikke bare fra realpolitikken, men fra alt som kan kalles realisme. De ønsker å skape sin egen virkelighet, å bli illusjonenes mestre.
Scheherazade in the White House
How George Bush’s wartime administration used a magician, Hollywood designers and Karl Rove telling 1,001 stories to sell the invasion of Iraq.
Ignacio Ramonet
PAKISTAN: Hvem vil erstatte Musharraf?
Paradoksalt nok allierte Bushadministrasjonen seg med diktatoren Musharraf for å "innføre demokrati" i Afghanistan. Hva vil skje hvis med landets atomvåpen, hvis Musharraf kastes?
Pakistan: Collapse at the centre
Paradoxically, the Bush administration allied itself with the dictator Musharraf in order to "implement democracy" in Afghanistan. What will happen to the country's nuclear arms if Musharraf is thrown?
Alain Gresh
USA VS. IRAN: Fra Irak til Iran
Er Iran virkelig dette skumle, mangehodete uhyret som Washington melder om? Hvor stor er atomfaren?
Towards fresh disaster in Iran
What has possessed the Bush administration to pursue its grievances against Iran when it can’t cope with the wars it is failing to wage, let alone win, in neighbouring Iraq and Afghanistan?
Cedric Gouveneur
INDIA: I India vokser naxalittgeriljaen
Den maoistiske naxalittgeriljaens opprører brer om seg i India.
India: in India, the Naxalit guerrilla is on the march
The Maoist Naxalit guerrilla's uprising is spreading.
Alain Bihr
NYLIBERAL NYTALE: Menneskelige kapitalister
"Menneskelig kapital" har lenge vært et kjært uttrykk for næringslivet, men har nå også infisert den politiske retorikken. Hva skjuler seg bak den selvmotsigende koblingen av menneske og kapital?
Neo-liberal new-speak: human capitalists
"Human capital" has long been a beloved expression in the business world but has now also infested political rhetoric. What is hiding behind the contradictory coupling of human with capital?

UKRITISKE MEDIER: Pressens immunforsvar svikter
Hvor sårbare er norske medier for desinformasjon og manipulering?
Uncritical media: the immune system of the press is failing
How vulnerable is the Norwegian media to disinformation and manipulation?

SENTRAL-AMERIKA: Skittent mediespill i Costa Rica
Hvor stor folkestøtte trenger man for å styre et demokrati? I Costa Ricas folkeavstemning om frihandelsavtalen CAFTA, vant ja-siden fram ved hjelp av sin enorme mediemakt.
Central-America: Dirty media games in Costa Rica
What size popular support is required to lead a democracy? In Costa Rica's referendum about the free trade agreement CAFTA, the yes-side won through the use of its power over the media.

DOX I KØBENHAVN: Årets beste amerikanske film
Noen filmer klarer å endre historiens gang. Den aktuelle dokumentarfilmen No End in Sight om USAs okkupasjon av Irak, har rystet mange langt inn i republikanernes rekker.
DOX in Copenhagen: this year's best American film
Some films are able to change the course of history. The newly released documentary No End in Sight, about the US occupation of Iraq, has caused reverberations throughout the ranks of the Republicans.

FILM: En lei historie
Etter Ceausescus fall har også filmkunsten omsider fått en ny vår i Romania. I Cristian Mungius kinoklare 4 måneder, 3 uker og 2 dager får vi solide doser både av angst, ekkelhetsfølelse og situasjonskomikk.
Film: A sorry story
After the fall of Ceausescu, the art of filmmaking has also undergone a revival in Rumania. In Cristian Mungius's new 4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days we get a solid dose of both angst, revulsion and situational comedy.

FILM: Blåbær og blues
Wong Kar-Wais My Blueberry Nights er en cinefil kaféfilm med innslag av road movie og skillingsvise, som verken mangler kamerapoesi eller forførende fargebruk. Men er dette nok til skape en god film?
Film: Blueberries and blues
Wong Kar-Wais's My Blueberry Nights is a "cinefil" café film with hints of road movie and folk song, ample cinematic poetry and seductive use of colour. But is this enough to create a good film?
Morten Haper
TEGNESERIE: Revolusjonsromantikk
Den franske tegneserien Muchacho er en dannelseshistorie av stort format, der den unge hovedpersonens modning og Nicaraguas politiske omveltninger på 70-tallet kløktig utdyper hverandre.
Animation: Revolution romanticism
The French cartoon Muchacho is a grand history of development where the development of the main character and the tumultuous political agenda of Nicaragua and the 70s cleverly deepen the understanding of the other.
Steffen Moestrup
TARKOVSKIJ: Krigen i drengens øjne
Ivans Barndom fra 1962, den russiske instruktør Andrej Tarkovskijs spillefilmsdebut, kom nylig på DVD. Filmens genistreg ligger i å vise en ung drengeverdens transformation fra lattermild opvækst hos moderen til aktiv deltagelse i krigen.
Tarkovskij: The war in the eyes of the boy
Ivan's Childhood from 1962, the Russian film director Andrej Tarkovskij's feature film debut, was recently released on DVD. Its genius lies in the portrayal of a young boy's transformation from a childhood filled with humour at his mother's house to active war duty.
Pascal Bonitzer
BERGMAN: Løgnens kreative kraft
Bilder er falske, løgnaktige, men hva er deres makt? Dette er spørsmålet som Bergmans Fanny og Alexander utvikler i løpet av tre timer.
Bergman: The creative power of the lie
Images are false, full of lies, but what is their power? This is the question proposed by Bergman's Fanny and Alexander in the course of its 3-hour playing time.
David Bordwell
FILMTEORI: Den intensiverte fortellerstilen
Er vi i dagens Hollywood-film vitne til en nedtoning og oppløsning av selve filmfortellingen til fordel for en vektlegging av det spektakulære og en synliggjøring av selve fortellergrepene?
Film theory: The intensified style of storytelling
Are we in today's Hollywood-films witnessing a reduction and dissolution of the art of storytelling in film to be replaced by a greater emphasis on the spectacular and visualization of the tricks of the trade?
Henrik Pryser Libell
MASSEGRAVENE I BOSNIA: De blå sommerfuglenes grav
Hver måned åpnes en ny massegrav i Bosnia. 15 år etter den "etniske rensingen" i Bosnia-Hercegovina hviler ennå halvparten av ofrene i ukjente massegraver et sted i de bosniske skoger og fjell. Men arbeidet er ikke uten konflikter.
The mass graves of Bosnia: The graves of the blue butterflies
Each month another mass grave is opened in Bosnia. 15 years after the "ethnic cleansing" of Bosnia-Herzegovina, half the victims are still buried in unknown mass graves somewhere in the Bosnian forests and mountains. But he work is filled with conflict.
Marcel Dorigny
SLAVERI: Et nytt blikk på slavehandelen
Slavehandel i Afrika har eksistert siden oldtiden, men kolonitidens slavehandel skilte seg ut med sin framherskende rasetenkning. Selv om slavehandelen i seg selv ikke ga stor avkastning, var den sentral for de europeiske kolonimaktenes verdensherredømme.
Slavery: A new look at the slave trade
Slavery in Africa has existed since ancient times, but he slave trade of the colonial era extinguished itself through its emphasis on race. Though the trade itself didn't yield great profits it was central to the world domination of the colonial powers.

Katajun Amirpur
Islam and democracy
The history of an approximation

http://www.eurozine.com/articles/2011-12-19-amirpur-en.html
In Iran, official revolutionary dogma has obliged "post-Islamist" philosophers to provide profound justifications for Islam's compatibility with democracy. Katajun Amirpur puts contemporary Iranian thinking on religion and politics in the context of Khomeini-era anti-westernism. [more]

Per Wirten
Where were you when Europe fell apart?

Too many Europeans have too long avoided the question of Europe, says Swedish writer Per Wirten. To prevent the EU from turning into a "post-democratic regime of bureaucrats", intellectuals need to stop mumbling and take the fear of Europe seriously. [more]
