Download or read book How the World s News Media Reacted to 9 11 written by Tomasz Płudowski and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Did the World¡ ̄s News Media React to 9/11? Not surprisingly, most of the world¡ ̄s news media criticized the terrorists and offered sympathy and support to the United States in the days right after the September 11, 2001, attacks. But this phase didn¡ ̄t last long. With a week or two, many of the world¡ ̄s news media, even some in Western countries, were putting some of the blame for the attacks on the United States, citing its history of heavy-handed politics around the world. Many hoped the attacks would ¡°wake up¡± the United States to this fact. But the subsequent U.S.-led wars in Afghanistan and Iraq dashed these hopes. Today, much of the sympathy and support generated from the tragedy has dissipated ¡a replaced, instead, by a widespread belief that political leadership in the United States is more arrogant, intransigent and self-absorbed than ever. This is the major theme of How the World¡ ̄s News Media Reacted to 9/11, which contains 22 chapters, written by scholars and experts from around the world, that examine news media coverage of 9/11 from more than two dozen countries. The ¡°arrogance¡± theme isn¡ ̄t one that many U.S. politicians, journalists and citizens want to hear. But it¡ ̄s the message that the world¡ ̄s news media have been sending, and the question now is: Will U.S. media and politicians listen? Other key highlights in this book: ¡ñ American TV news channel news executives deliberately excluded controversial U.S. guests and opinions from their news coverage of 9/11 (Chapter 20). ¡ñ Media in Australia, Canada and other countries demonized Muslims and Arabs after 9/11 (Chapters 18 and 21). ¡ñ Ordinary Arabs and Muslims in the Middle East have distorted views of the United States, partly because their media do not provide all of the facts (Chapter 15), but Americans, too, misunderstand Muslims and Arabs, because U.S. media have failed to help Americans understand why much of the world hates their political leadership (numerous chapters).

This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les contributions regroupées dans cet ouvrage visent à comprendre les relations et influences à travers le temps entre l’Europe et les États-Unis. S’il existe des différences importantes entre le modèle de société américain et européen, si à certains moments de notre histoire, même récente, des divergences sont apparues, il est essentiel de rappeler les multiples convergences entre ces deux continents. Le couple euro-américain n’est pas un mythe et les évolutions géopolitique et géoéconomique futures ne devraient que l’inciter à approfondir et à intensifier les relations transatlantiques. Outre l’importance de l’objet d’étude traité, cet ouvrage produit une analyse pluridisciplinaire essentielle à la compréhension du sujet et s’appuie sur des auteurs ayant un regard multiculturel. The contributions gathered in this volume seek to understand the relations and influences across time between Europe and the United States. If there are significant differences between the model of American and European society, if at some point in our history, even recent, some divergences emerged, it is important to remember the numerous similarities between these two continents. Euro-American couple is not a myth and the future geopolitical and geo-economic developments should encourage them to deepen and strengthen transatlantic relations. Besides the importance of the treated study topic, this work supplies a multidisciplinary analysis, essential to the understanding of the subject and is based on authors having a multicultural view.
Download or read book A History of the Grandparents I Never Had written by Ivan Jablonka and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A French historian chronicles his meticulous efforts to document the lives of his Polish Jewish grandparents who were killed in the Holocaust. Ivan Jablonka’s grandparents’ lives ended long before his began: although Matès and Idesa Jablonka were his family, they were perfect strangers. When he set out to uncover their story, Jablonka had little to work with. Neither of them was the least bit famous, and they left little behind except their two orphaned children, a handful of letters, and a passport. Persecuted as communists in Poland, as refugees in France, and then as Jews under the Vichy regime, Matès and Idesa lived their short lives underground. They were overcome by the tragedies of the twentieth century: Stalinism, the mounting dangers in Europe during the 1930s, World War II, and the destruction of European Jews. Jablonka’s challenge was, as a historian, to rigorously distance himself and yet, as family, to invest himself completely in their story. Imagined oppositions collapsed—between scholarly research and personal commitment, between established facts and the passion of the one recording them, between history and the art of storytelling. To write this book, Jablonka traveled to three continents; met the handful of survivors of his grandparents’ era, their descendants, and some of his far-flung cousins; and investigated twenty different archives. And in the process, he reflected on his own family and his responsibilities to his father, the orphaned son, and to his own children and the family wounds they all inherited. A History of the Grandparents I Never Had cannot bring Matès and Idesa to life, but Jablonka succeeds in bringing them, as he soberly puts it, to light. The result is a gripping story, a profound reflection, and an extraordinary history. Praise for A History of the Grandparents I Never Had “A deeply moving, poignant, and sad book, but one also filled with hope, light, and inspiration.” —Jewish Book Council “Ivan Jablonka is a tremendous writer—compassionate and searching, intimate and ambitious—and A History of the Grandparents I Never Had is a painstakingly researched and profoundly heartfelt book that teaches us new and necessary things about family, history and the extraordinary power of storytelling. It’s one of the most beautiful books I’ve read in years.” —Molly Antopol, author of The UnAmericans “An extraordinary book—at once a breathtaking work of historical investigation and a deeply personal meditation on the possibilities and limits of historical knowledge. By uncovering the traces left behind by people who literally vanished into thin air, Ivan Jablonka sheds new light on the Holocaust as well as on our own desire to grasp what cannot be grasped.” —Maurice Samuels, Yale University

Download or read book Rencontres australiennes written by Pierre Lagayette and published by Presses Paris Sorbonne. This book was released on 2008 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis les temps de la découverte, l'Australie a alimenté curiosité et fantasmes chez les Européens, puis une convoitise liée à son extraordinaire immensité, ses richesses minérales et sa diversité naturelle. Aujourd'hui la plupart de ses mystères ont été dissipés mais l'Australie fascine pourtant les Européens, comme si elle n'avait pas livré encore tous ses secrets. Peu de Français connaissent l'histoire de ce continent d'" en bas " qui, de l'autre côté de la terre, a dû conjuguer les traditions millénaires des peuples autochtones, la présence de bagnards et les exigences impériales de l'Angleterre. Devenue libre et moderne, l'Australie n'en demeure pas moins une nation hantée par un passé qu'obscurcit la non-reconnaissance de l'Autre aborigène. Hantée par l'illusion de la Terra nullius - cet espace vierge originel où doivent nécessairement s'exercer les prérogatives de l'envahisseur européen -, l'Australie cherche des moyens, légaux, sociaux, culturels, d'accomplir une réconciliation dont dépend en grande partie le sentiment d'une appartenance et d'une identité nationales. Depuis que les Jeux olympiques de Sydney ont soudain braqué l'attention sur elle, I'Australie cherche à offrir à son propre peuple et au reste du monde un visage apaisé, démythifié, débarrassé des fantasmes qu'avait projetés sur elle l' Europe, depuis la découverte. A cet égard, ce volume propose des regards avisés et originaux sur l'Australie contemporaine, rassemblés autour d'un thème qui explore la conscience de soi des Australiens confrontés à la nécessité de rompre l'isolement où les a contraints la géographie et où les a précipités l'histoire du peuplement continental. Des signes d'espoir sont néanmoins visibles : l'Australie en devenir est une terre vouée à unifier plutôt qu'à exclure, à accueillir plutôt qu'à rejeter, tout en préservant ses chances de construire une identité sociale et culturelle durable.

Download or read book La Californie written by Annick Foucrier and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2004 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Californie évoque le rêve, le mythe - que ce soit la ruée vers l'or, Yosemite, Hollywood ou la Silicon Valley. Cet Etat, le plus peuplé des Etats-Unis, est souvent à l'origine des tendances nouvelles. Certains y cherchent le futur de l'Amérique et par extrapolation le nôtre. Mais derrière ses allures décontractées, la Californie est plus complexe qu'il n'y paraît. Ce volume présente les analyses de chercheurs français et américains réunis lors d'un colloque international et pluridisciplinaire dont l'objectif était de mieux comprendre les facettes multiples et la situation d'un Etat à la fois très américain et très original par rapport à la mondialisation. Les articles rassemblés élaborent une image familière et nouvelle, autour des thèmes de la culture, de l'environnement, de l'immigration, de l'éducation, de la vie politique et des minorités ethniques. Ils reviennent sur les temps forts de l'histoire californienne, comme les mouvements contestataires dans les années 1960. Ils éclairent les phénomènes actuels que sont par exemple les délocalisations dans l'industrie du cinéma ou la fascinante créativité culturelle. Ils posent enfin des questions en direction du futur, car la Californie est un lieu d'expériences, un révélateur de notre monde.
