La boîte de Pandore des dérives de la liberté d’expression : Impunité pour blasphème Cette citation attribuée à Saint Augustin -un algérien amazigh de naissance mort il y a plus de 1600 ans à Annabe (Hippone) - pose les limites de la tolérance et le danger d’une normalisation rampante du blasphème. L’actualité nous donne l’occasion d’illustrer de fait les coups de boutoir contre une spiritualité –en l’occurrence l’Islam , le tiers exclus de la révélation abrahamique- au nom de la sacro-sainte liberté d’expression dont on connait les limites quand on est borderline pour d’autres faits relevant de la doxa occidentale qui dicte la norme de ce qui est licite ( Hallal) et interdit (Layadjouz : Cela ne passe pas) pour reprendre des expressions du vocabulaire religieux musulman… Ainsi des centaines de personnes ont manifesté, dans plusieurs pays arabes, contre un film jugé insultant envers l'Islam, qui a déjà provoqué une attaque contre l'ambassade américaine en Libye, faisant quatre morts, dont l'ambassadeur. Il y eut aussi d'autres victimes libyennes. Conclusion 1.
UH - Digital History Statistiques mondiales écologiques Add some #digitalhistory to your class | Stillwater Historians It’s the first week the semester up here in the snowy north and classes are underway. I’m teaching four this semester: two are small, great books courses in the Honors College and two are larger, focused on the state and cover a range of topics. This week I talked about the Aeneid, Nietzsche’s “Truth and Lies in an Extra-Moral Sense” and Maine’s open land tradition and it’s only Thursday! Next week it will be Zimbardo, Weber, more Aeneid, and Maine geology. I use lots of examples and show students lots of visuals in my History, Sociology, Honors and Maine Studies courses and I am always on the lookout for interesting ideas and new ways to present information. I really like having students think through the use of “tools.” In honor of January being Digital Humanities Month here at Stillwater Historians I thought I would share a few examples of digital work that I introduce my students to and find particularly useful in a range of classes. 1. 2. 3.
