Ce jeudi 24 avril 2025, le conseil communal d’Ixelles doit se prononcer sur le projet de la zone de police Bruxelles CAPITALE Ixelles d’utiliser des drones munis de caméras de surveillance.
"Prenez le fardeau de l'Homme Blanc
Et récoltez sa vieille récompense :
La critique de ceux qu'on dépasse,
La haine de ceux qu'on surveille
Les cris des hôtes que vous guidez
(Ah, lentement !) vers la lumière :
"Pourquoi nous avoir sorti des entraves,
Nos nuits d'Égypte tant aimées ?" "
un homme blanc qui sans cesse et par grandeur morale assisterait les autres peuples du monde dans leur marche vers (au choix) le progrès, la paix ou la démocratie. Et comme Macron, Kipling relevait la supposée ingratitude des peuples concernés:
et plus largement les pratiques et discours paternalistes et néo-coloniaux de la France dans ses anciennes colonies.
En réécoutant le discours concerné, je pense à sa filiation directe avec le mythe du "fardeau de l'homme blanc" (poème pro-colonial de Rudyard Kipling publié en 1899):
"Je crois qu'on a oublié de nous dire merci. [...] [aucun gouvernant africain] ne serait aujourd'hui avec un pays souverain si l'armée française ne s'était pas déployée dans la région".
Pour @rtbf.be, je reviens sur ces propos de Macron

Maboula Soumahoro, friend & colleague from Anglophone Studies in France, has been the target of a sustained smear campaign by Marion Maréchal. The EU parliament has cancelled Maboula’s intervention on racism.
In solidarity with one of the most important scholars of antiracism in our times.

We just discussed this with a class last week and a colleague yesterday!
It was written in 1981. It heralded queer studies in the western academy -- totally peripheralised because of racism! The women of color in the anthology explicitly discussed 'homophobia' in 1981!!!
A page from "This bridge called my back", sent by a dear friend one morning I was struggling to write. In solidarity!

2rectors in 🇧🇪uni published a statement conflating antizionism with antisemitism in what looks like an attempt to silence&delegitimise pro-🇵🇸 in their institutions.
In response, + than 300academics affirm their right and commitment to a critical position towards Zionism.

"The past year has demonstrated a consensus across the US political spectrum around the notion that Palestinians are dispensable. Their disagreement is whether it should be a slow, innocuous demise or a rapid one."

Proud to be part of team who has been working on this: “Palestine: Spaces and Politics”. An introductory curriculum to Palestine in context, using a spatial lens.
Most resources are open access, prioritizing Palestinian authors.
