Société : Le jour où la classe moyenne se soulèvera | Presseurop.eu Nos dirigeants ne réalisent pas qu'ils sont assis sur un baril de poudre, prévient le philosophe polonais Marcin Król. Car la classe moyenne à qui l’on refuse toute perspective de promotion sociale, pourrait voir la révolution comme son dernier recours pour se faire entendre. Contrairement aux idées reçues, ce ne sont pas les pauvres et les malheureux qui font les révolutions en Occident, mais bel et bien les classes moyennes. Ce fut le cas de toutes les révolutions, à commencer par la Révolution française, à l’exception près de la révolution d'Octobre, qui a été un coup d'Etat perpétré dans une situation de désordre politique extrême. Quand la classe moyenne décide-t-elle de déclencher la révolution ? Citoyens de deuxième catégorie Dans le cas classique de la Révolution française, le rôle d'avant-garde révolutionnaire a été joué par des avocats, des entrepreneurs, des employés de l'administration publique de l'époque et par une partie des officiers de l'armée.

Antonin Artaud, 1896 - 1948 In the early 1920's Antonin Artaud was very much influenced by the great French poets Verlaine, Mallarmé and Rimbaud. Verlaine Boit "Il y aura toujours des grues au coin des rues,Coquillages perdus sue les grèves stellairesDu soir bleu qui n'est pas d'ici ni de la terre,Où roulent des cabs aux élytres éperdues. Et roulent moins que dans ma tête confondueLa pierre verte de l'absinthe au fond du verre,Où je bois la perdition et les tonnerresA venir du Seigneur pour calciner mon âme nue. Ah! Ah!

Bernard Stiegler : « Le marketing détruit tous les outils du savoir » - Société de consommation Texte publié intégralement dans la revue Soldes [1], que vous pouvez vous procurer dans l’une de ces librairies ou lors de l’événement organisé au Point éphémère à Paris le 24 mars (voir à la fin de l’article). Peut-on sortir de l’ère industrielle ? J’ai la conviction profonde que ce qu’on appelle humain, c’est la vie technicisée. Quand on appréhende les questions dans leur globalité, il est inconcevable de faire face à cette poussée démographique avec des moyens non industriels. D’où vient cette hégémonie du capitalisme financier ? En 1977, au moment du mouvement punk, c’est l’enclenchement d’une catastrophe annoncée. Comment s’opère cette destruction des savoirs ? Aujourd’hui, 180 millions de Chinois sont dépressifs et partout ailleurs les gens sont dépressifs. Le marketing triomphant… ? Ce qui s’est mis en place dans les années 1950 avec le développement des médias de masse, c’est le projet d’Edward Bernays, le neveu de Sigmund Freud. Le web, c’est l’ère industrielle de l’écriture.
Human Nature : Debbie Carlos Human Nature , 2004 - 2006 The first time I took pictures of the animal displays at Chicago’s Field Museum, I did so purely out of interest in animals. Framing my photos so as to imitate nature photography seemed natural in an environment where the animals, long dead, are themselves placed and positioned in scenes that recreate their habitats. Once I developed my negatives, the significance of the human world, science, and ownership seemed all of a sudden very apparent in the life-like death of the creatures on display. The murky quality of the lighting and the dark desaturated tones of the exhibits, convey a sensuality and romanticism at odds with the sense of stagnant death that lingers in the cracked skin of 100-year-old taxidermied animals and birds strung up as though in flight with fishing line.
Clonehenge | A blog about Stonehenge Replicas. We kid you not. How the US Turned Three Pacifists into Violent Terrorists From left, Greg Boertje-Obed, Sister Megan Rice, and Michael Walli. (Photo: Saul Young/News Sentinel)In just ten months, the United States managed to transform an 82 year-old Catholic nun and two pacifists from non-violent anti-nuclear peace protestors accused of misdemeanor trespassing into federal felons convicted of violent crimes of terrorism. Now in jail awaiting sentencing for their acts at an Oak Ridge, TN nuclear weapons production facility, their story should chill every person concerned about dissent in the US. Here is how it happened. In the early morning hours of Saturday, July 28, 2012, long-time peace activists Sr. “The truth will heal us and heal our planet, heal our diseases, which result from the disharmony of our planet caused by the worst weapons in the history of mankind, which should not exist. Describing themselves as the Transform Now Plowshares, the three came as non-violent protestors to symbolically disarm the weapons. Sr. No security arrived to confront them.
Represented Photographers | Reportage by Getty Images Anna Utopia Giordano | Venus Apart from highlighting once again the amazing possibilities of digital technologies applied to art, this job from Anna Giordano is indeed a good cue to reconsider both the subjectivity of cultural standards (in facts, ours are so different from the past ones) and the inclination of modern society and advertising companies to edit most images of feminine body in order to reach a fake perfection, corresponding to an unreachable reality. via DigitalMeetCulture Per evidenziare la follia della taglia zero imposta all'immaginario collettivo attuale, l'artista ha sottoposto a una dieta "forzata" le Veneri più celebri della storia della pittura. Passate al Photoshop le bellissime immagini che hanno fatto palpitare per secoli gli amanti di tutto il mondo risultano inquietanti e perdono pathos. Una critica forte che dice più di tante parole e che ha scatenato un forte dibattito sul web.
Turkey protests: Unrest rages in Istanbul and Ankara Turkey has entered a second day of violent protests, with fresh clashes between police and demonstrators in Istanbul and the capital, Ankara. The unrest began as a sit-in over plans to redevelop Gezi Park in Istanbul's Taksim Square, but escalated after police used tear gas. Tear gas was again fired on Saturday at protesters in Istanbul and Ankara. In a defiant speech, PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan insisted that the park project would go ahead. He also said that police would remain in Taksim Square to preserve order. Correspondents say that what began as a local issue has spiralled into more widespread anger at the government and ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party. Transport lockdown Hundreds of demonstrators marched over the bridge connecting the Asian and European shores of Istanbul on Saturday morning to try to reach the main square. Police fired tear gas to try to disperse them and some protesters threw rocks. Clashes were also reported in the Besiktas district. 'Creeping Islamisation'
