"Film!"-The Arab Revolutions and the Filmmaker as Amanuensis
In her recent memoir of the Egyptian revolution Ahdaf Soueif records how one day a woman came up to her on Tahrir Square and started instructing her on how to write down the “national epic” unfolding around them. Taking Soueif’s text as an allegory of the relationship between the individual and the people, I explore how an analogous process is enacted in one particular video shot in Cairo on January 25, 2011. Taken together, these two “texts” sug…
The Revolution Will be Uploaded
The vernacular online videos produced by the Arab revolutions constitute an un-precedented (though not unproblematic) historical resource for understanding the subjective experience of the ordinary people who find themselves on the front line of revolutionary struggle. But they also effect a sea-change in the way in which we view and understand YouTube itself. This article argues that the political significance of these videos lies less in their …
Jacques Guilhaumou, Cartographier la nostalgie. L’utopie concrète de mai 68
Le livre de Jacques Guilhaumou se présente de premier abord comme un récit autobiographique, qui raconte le mois de mai 1968 tel qu’il a été vécu par son auteur, à l’époque étudiant en première année d’histoire à l’Université de Nanterre. L’avant-propos insiste même sur cette approche subjective : Guilhaumou propose de « rendre compte de (son) expérience personnelle » pour aider à sortir de l’oubli « ce qu’on pourrait appeler la “tradition des va…
Hong Sang-Soo, Woman on the beach
Le septième film de Hong Sang-Soo représente une évolution inattendue dans son œuvre. Là où ses films précédents avaient élaboré des stratégies narratives souvent déroutantes, dont le sommet de complexité était sans doute atteint avec Conte de Cinéma(2005), Woman on the Beach (2006) se propose comme une épure linéaire, qui revisite certains thèmes chers au cinéaste, mais sous une forme bien plus accessible, et même franchement comique. En effet, …
Déjà vu? Conservative Problems in Historical Perspective
Since 2001, the Conservative party has found itself in turbulent times. Yet the party has survived similarly difficult periods in the past, eventually recovering its strength and returning to power. Can it do so again? The problems for today's party exist along four key dimensions: leadership, policy, organisation and political circumstances. How grave are contemporary difficulties in each of these areas in comparison to past experience? To what …
