La ville autrement
Coinciding with the 'rentrée' I have found two projects that propose a different look to urban. Good to make a break before taking the subway back home ... The first is
Sleepycity where collected photos of European cities at night, especially in places 'banned' or hidden. If you have visited cities like Paris or London you will like.
The second a short film entitled 'High in London', about 4 minutes, shooting the city of London from the air, with a special zoom to capture the smallest detail (video here.)
I also take to recommend one of the texts that were pending and that E-Xaps published last December on the context pre-and post-election in Belarus. (Read it in ' important thing is not who votes but who counts ', and the comments you left here Catalan). On the same subject have been written many articles and posts these past few days. I recommend only three that I think summarizes the situation. First published in The Guardian, 'Belarus May seem to far away country, But We Have to Confront Europe's Mugabe' by Timothy Garton Ash. In that article remembered as the authoritarian Belarusian regime is not 'incidental', which would facilitate the strategy of 'approximation' of the scheme to the European Union, but such violence is inherent to the dictatorial nature with which the Belarusian government understands how governance and politics. The second text is a post on the blog of Robert Amsterdam (a specialist on the subject and collaborator of the think tank European Council on Foreign Relations): ' Lukashenko's balancing act. " It insists that the priorities of Lukashenko and the Belarusian regime can not be analyzed through the prism of 'values' or 'changes' legal. Belarus remains a country approaching from Europe or Russia purely in terms of their economic, commercial and strategic. This strategy per se does not guarantee any changes 'political'. The third work that I wanted to recommend is the 'newspaper' published by the association responsible for JEF (Young European Federalists) in Belarus during the days after the presidential election (you can read in the magazine Le Taurillon ).
I mention an interesting little article a few days Europa451 on Greco-Turkish relations and the global concept of 'wall' or 'opposition' in the way structure much of the current European external relations. Take this opportunity to thank the journal recommend Passport Europe, is a pleasant surprise for me are a benchmark to use as you know very often.
A hug!
