Lost Pathways of Urban Development by Erik Harms

“…Attention to images draws attention to the history of non-human nature and to lost pathways of urban development, which in turn emphasizes their uses and the practices which maintained them, revealing the interconnection between human sociality and the non-human world. Unlike the "tragedy of the commons," which describes common resources extinguished or depleted by unregulated use, these elements appear as a collective resource, produced and cared for by their users. …”

Raconter la Partition de l’Inde : une impossible histoire des femmes ? by Anne Castaing

“…After many years subjected to a vision of history dedicated to the glorification of the nation, the Partition of India (1947) has attracted renewed interest in the last thirty years or so, aiming to shed as much light as possible on this popular tragedy and its subaltern histories. The history of women has been one part of this movement, even if belatedly so, and the historiography of “Subaltern Studies” has shed light on role of women, as well as the strategies of invisibilization and instrumentalization to which they have been subjected in nationalist histories. …”

« C’est eux contre nous » ou « Qui a peur de qui ? » : la rhétorique post-11 septembre de l’administration américaine vue par la caricature de presse by Dominique CADINOT

“…Even fewer commentators dared to use humor in dealing with the tragedy. However, despite the context, on December 15th, three months after the attacks, Atlanta’s major daily newspaper, TheAtlanta Journal-Constitution, ran an editorial cartoon drawn by Mike Luckovich questioning John Ashcroft’s management of the USA PATRIOT Act.The apparent purpose of the caricature is to satirize the way the Arab or Muslim communities are stigmatized as “enemies within” and to critique the artificial dichotomy used by the administration: “Us versus them”.However, the decision to depict John Ashcroft, leader of the domestic war-on-terror apparatus and prominent evangelist, indicates that what is at stake here is the thorny issue of the relations between state power and religion.Since cartoons may provide scholars with a glimpse of the political debate or public opinion surrounding past events, this essay will seek to highlight and reflect on the feelings of millions of Americans who, a few months after the implementation of the national security strategy, initiated a response to those confounding patriotism and bigotry.…”

"Magic Dirt": Transcending Great Divides in Scott McClanahan's Crapalachia by Eva-Maria Müller

“…Crapalachia is a threnody for a wounded region that complicates imagined hierarchies of center and periphery and blends the worlds of fact and fiction as well as tragedy and comedy. The semi-autobiography mines so deeply for privation that, at its close, it lays bare some of the most hopeful principles of American transcendentalism. …”
