Il est important de mettre en regard les différentes perceptions qu'on peut avoir de la crise politique actuelle des deux côtés de l’Atlantique, mais une telle discussion pâtit nécessairement d'un choc cognitif dû au caractère insaisissable d’un tournant peut-être historique. En effet, un véritable regime change est en train de se produire à Washington, un retour de bâton par rapport à la politique menée depuis des décennies, et à toutes les latitudes, par la Foreign Policy...| Réalité
Dans cet entretien que nous traduisons, Emiliano Brancaccio affirme que le gouvernement Netanyahu veut démontrer que la crise de la dette américaine et la tendance des États-Unis à limiter leur présence au Moyen-Orient qui y est associée, n'affectent pas l'hégémonie d'Israël dans la région. Les actions militaires contre le Liban, le Yémen, l'Iran, jusqu'au nettoyage ethnique de Gaza, toujours souhaité et jamais osé auparavant, tout indique que Netanyahou et les siens jouent le to...| Réalité
À l’heure où l’Europe de l’Est redevient un foyer de tensions géopolitiques, la Roumanie reste largement absente des radars du débat public occidental. Coincée entre son intégration européenne, l’exode massif de sa main-d’œuvre, les séquelles de la transition post-socialiste et la montée d’un populisme inquiet, Bucarest s’impose pourtant comme un laboratoire politique d’une brûlante actualité. À partir de la récente séquence électorale, cet entretien offre des ...| Réalité
Dans cet article, Emiliano Brancaccio souligne la profondeur historique de la situation actuelle. Le « moment Lénine » représente ce point de bascule dans lequel, entre crise de l’hégémonie américaine, essor de la puissance chinoise et tentation d’un impérialisme européen autonome, l’enchevêtrement de la concurrence capitaliste débouche sur un affrontement armé. À rebours des lectures moralisantes, il dévoile les déterminations économiques qui transforment le protectio...| Réalité
Roger Ballen is one of the most influential and distinctive voices in contemporary photography. Born in New York and based in South Africa since the 1980s, Ballen’s work has evolved from documentary roots to psychologically charged, surrealist tableaux that blur the lines between photography, drawing, and installation. Over a career spanning more than five decades, his visual language—now widely described as “Ballenesque”—has explored the subconscious, the absurd, and the unsettling...| Holden Luntz Gallery

I realised just now that I entirely forgot (it seems) to post about an episode of PBS' show Nova called "Decoding the Universe: Cosmos" which aired back in the Spring. I thought they did a good job of talking about some of the advances in our understanding that have happened over the last 50 years (the idea is that it is the 50th anniversary of the show) in areas of astrophysics and cosmology. I was a contributor, filmed at the top of Mount Wilson at the Observatory where Hubble made his famo...| Asymptotia
