por Catarina FalcãoHugo Chávez continua a sua imparável maratona de decisões polémicas. Depois de ganhar o terceiro mandato em Dezembro de 2006, não pára de surpreender. Uma das usas principais decisões, e também uma das mais controversas, é o empreendimento de uma política de nacionalizações em massa. Pouco tempo depois de ter nacionalizado alguns dos maiores complexos petrolíferos

por Jorge MartinsComo todos sabemos, a política externa dos Estados Unidos é cada vez mais ampla e a segurança é uma área onde assume uma maior relevância. Assistimos então a mais uma tentativa de adaptação por parte dos Estados Unidos às novas exigências do crime organizado, que neste caso em específico circula dentro das suas fronteiras. Foi apresentado em Washington o ”New USA-Mex

por Mónica DiasNos últimos quatro anos o mundo tem estado de olhos postos no Iraque. Agora as atenções são compelidas a desviar-se das zonas de maior conflito no centro para o norte. É no norte que se encontra uma das áreas de maior estabilidade do país, o Curdistão iraquiano. Trata-se de uma região onde os curdos iraquianos dispõem de total autonomia, vivendo com um governo próprio.

por Jorge FerreiraNo fim do mês de Agosto as chuvas torrenciais começaram a inundar uma grande porção do continente africano. A 25 do mesmo mês, no Sudão chamaram-lhes as “maiores cheias de que há memória”. E desde então as cheias afectaram, segundo a Nações Unidas, 17 países e levaram a mais de 1,5 milhões de deslocados. Num arco que se estende do Senegal ao Quénia poucos foram

por Mónica DiasÉ comummente aceite a premissa de que o mundo mudou no dia 11 de Setembro de 2001. Resta agora, a cada ano que passa, avaliar os resultados das reacções a esse dia fatídico numa tentativa de compreender essa mudança.O 11 de Setembro, assim como os ataques terroristas de Março de 2004 em Madrid e Julho de 2005 em Londres, acordaram os que não viveram conscientemente os confli

por Jorge MartinsSempre que nos perguntamos como em pleno século XXI continuamos a assistir a situações de perseguição étnica e religiosa como aquelas que caracterizam o Darfur, não nos podemos cingir a uma ou duas razões, mas sim a todas as pequenas condicionantes que, por mais pequenas que possam parecer, contribuem para a manutenção desta triste realidade.O principal factor prende-se

por Joana JunqueiraEste é um conceito muitas vezes entendido, no Ocidente, de forma simplista como uma guerra santa. No entanto, é um conceito bem mais amplo e espiritual.

The first several slides would suggest that the participants in the Orphan Film Symposium, March 26-29, 2008 at NYU, were more interested in food and drink than films, but most of the images that follow reveal their true passion.As my memory of the symposium presentations is still fresh, I'll soon follow up with a couple of related posts.Today, however, is my day for naps, pizza, and college basketball. As a sophisticated flâneuse, I sometimes need a time-out.T.O., baby!

Last night at the Orphan Film Symposium, we gathered for dinner inside the historic Judson Memorial Church on Washington Square South. Making the most of the "on location" feel for the symposium, most of the events take place in and around Washington Square Park.Ever since it was announced that the symposium was moving to New York, some people worried that the southern grit flair established in South Carolina for so long would be lost in translation. I worried about this myself, but on balance, just after the opening couple of days, I don't think there's anything to worry about now. Wednesday night's tribute to the late Helen Hill, a native of Columbia, South Carolina, and with it, the presence of family and friends from South Carolina, made an effective and moving transition for the sympo

At the beginning of each Orphan Film Symposium, I like to scan the schedule and make note of the films I can't miss. The registered participants see all the films together as well as talk over organized lunches and dinners. The screenings start in the morning and continue through the evening, so the collective experience is intense. Though I take care of minor behind-the-scenes tasks, I like to attend most of the screenings.I put today's early afternoon session at the top of my list – films that documented protests held in Washington Square Park in the 1960s, and a couple of presentations on maverick documentary filmmaker Emile de Antonio.Dan Drasin was a burgeoning 18-year-old filmmaker when he took his cameras and some black and white film to document a protest by folk singers in Washi

Orphans 6 (Orphan Film Symposium, 6th iteration) kicked off officially this morning in the Cantor Film Center. Richard Allen, the Chair of NYU Cinema Studies, introduced organizer and faculty member Dan Streible by saying all kinds of nice things about him, including holding up Streible's new book, Fight Pictures, and reading passages from Charles Musser's introduction. If you've been following along in previous posts, I am Streible's spouse, and I am sometimes known as the "orphan widow."Because Streible spends an unreal amount of time preparing for Orphan events, I came up with this witticism to describe my status. I'm actually listed in the official program that way. I really haven't felt much like the widow at all for Orphans 6, however, probably because he's often at home and on the c

Yesterday's weather of warming temperatures, clear skies, and abundant sunshine in New York provided clear sailing for the arrival of guests at the Orphan Symposium. The twilight that followed provided a stunning glow for the opening reception. Here you see the celebrated film accompanist, Dennis James, providing the sounds. The skyline, even more glamorous than usual, made a too perfect backdrop for a conference devoted to film.I had a great time at the reception. I saw many friends I haven't seen since Orphans 5, and I introduce several people to one another. In point of fact, I think this is my most important role in the symposium. Making new friends, discovering new potential colleagues, and establishing the groundwork for future relationships is what it's all about. After the recep

Humanist Symposium #12 DEDICATED TO BLUE LINCHPIN Greetings one and all. It is my pleasure to present this Humanist Symposium, the last one of the year. Before we go any further, I would like to take this opportunity to dedicate this Humanist Symposium to Blue Linchpin. Her last post was June 11th and she had been struggling with cancer for some time. This would be a tragedy no matter who it was, but when it happens to someone so young and so intellectually alive, it seems all the more unfair. After silence for so long, I think we all fear the worst.   I couldn't think of a particularly unique or clever way to present this Symposium (!), so I've decided to offer each submission with my personal reflections on each article. Let's get started:   A Load of Bright presents a treatise On Patriotism. This is a brief but excellent summation of the arbitrary nature of nationality, and why the author identifies himself as a citizen of earth first and foremost, instead of re
