[Euroseas] New E-Journal on "Transcultural Studies".

-
 The Cluster of Excellence "Asia and Europe in a Global Context" at Heidelberg University just launched the academic, open-access e-journal "Transcultural Studies". The journal is committed to promoting the knowledge and research of transculturality in all disciplines; it produces two volumes per year and can be found at www.transculturalstudies.org.

The first volume opens with Arjun Appadurai's contribution "How Histories Make Geographies." Appadurai is well-known for his anthropological studies and theoretical contributions on the processes of globalization. The issue also features an article by Douglas R. Howland (University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee) on the development of the notion of political neutrality in Japan, as well as contributions by James Elkins (School of the Art Institute of Chicago) and Gennifer Weisenfeld (Duke University) to a new themed series on the global history of Modern Art.

Since "Transcultural Studies" is an e-journal, its authors can utilize the internet's digital publishing options and enhance their texts with images, audio, video and/or links. All contributions undergo a double-blind peer-review to guarantee high quality research. The journal's editor is Prof. Rudolf G. Wagner, its managing editor is Dr. Andrea Hacker and the members of the editorial board are, in alphabetical order, Prof. Christiane Brosius, Prof. Harald Fuess, Prof. Madeleine Herren, Prof. Monica Juneja, Prof. Birgit Kellner, Prof. Axel Michaels, Prof. Joachim Kurtz and Dr. Roland Wenzlhuemer.

"Transcultural Studies" can be found at www.transculturalstudies.org

And until recently, no archeologist or historian at Angkor had wondered why so many nearly life-size images of human beings filled the 12th century monument and why these sculptures were only of women, said Kent Davis, a researcher and publisher of DatAsia Press. [...]

Revue de Presse : expulsions des "Roms" du territoire français.

Une manière de faire le point sur l'actualité en France, et de se faire aussi une opinion. Bonne lecture.
-
"La France donne un prétexte à la Bulgarie pour durcir sa politique envers les Roms" | Le Monde.fr | Alexandre Lévy | 31.08.10
Vu de Sofia, il n'y avait pas de problème avec les Roms. Du moins, pas au début, lorsque le gouvernement bulgare offrait sa pleine coopération pour "établir le nombre et l'identité" de ses citoyens qui devaient être expulsés de France et lorsque les associations tsiganes locales restaient muettes, quand elles ne saluaient pas l'action de Paris. [...]

Chez les Roms, "intouchables" de Bulgarie | Le Monde.fr | Alexandre Lévy | 31/08/2010

Une communauté en manque de leaders | Le Monde.fr | | Alexandre Lévy | 31/08/10
Pour certains, les Roms européens manquent cruellement "d'amis" influents pour défendre leur cause autrement que par les protestations des défenseurs des droits de l'homme. En Bulgarie, les Roms manquent de représentativité tout court – à la grande différence de leurs concitoyens d'origine turque. Pas de "parti rom", de députés, de figures charismatiques ou de sympathisants. Et le problème des nombreuses associations de Roms n'est pas tant qu'elles ne sont pas entendues en Bulgarie, mais le fait qu'on ne les prend pas au sérieux. [...]

Les critiques se multiplient en Roumanie et en Bulgarie contre la politique française à l'égard des Roms, alors que la France compte expulser 700 Roms de son territoire d'ici à la fin août. [...]
Les enfants Roms sont les premières victimes des expulsions à répétition qui interrompent leurs parcours scolaires. [AFP/JEFF PACHOUD]
Paris toujours sous le feu des critiques au sujet des Roms | L’Express | par Reuters | 27/08/2010
Les critiques continuent à pleuvoir en France et à l'étranger contre la politique de la France à l'égard des Roms, mais Paris persiste dans sa volonté de démanteler leurs camps et de les renvoyer dans leurs pays. [...]

Eric Besson veut étendre les possibilités d'expulsions des Roms | Le Point | par AFP| 26/08/2010
Le ministre de l'Immigration Éric Besson a annoncé, lundi, un projet d'amendement à la loi permettant de reconduire aux frontières des étrangers en cas de "menace à l'ordre public à l'occasion d'actes répétés de vols ou de mendicité agressive". [...]

Le gouvernement français de plus en plus divisé sur la sécurité | L’Express | par Reuters | 31/08/2010
Le gouvernement français apparaît de plus en plus divisé sur la politique sécuritaire de Nicolas Sarkozy à l'approche d'un remaniement ministériel qui accentue encore la nervosité au sein de la majorité présidentielle.
[...]

La HALDE appelle à la levée des mesures transitoires visant les citoyens bulgares et roumains | Questions d’étrangers / Le blog de Migration Conseil | 21/08/2010
Droits et devoirs administratifs des Roms : conséquences du régime transitoire Roumain et Bulgare.
Ni citoyens communautaires, ni ressortissants étrangers non communautaires, un peuple discriminé.
La Roumanie et la Bulgarie, dont la plupart des Roms de France sont ressortissants, sont entrées dans l’Union Européenne en 2007.
Normalement, les ressortissants européens bénéficient de la liberté de circulation : ils peuvent librement passer les frontières à l’intérieur de l’Europe, s’installer et travailler dans un autre pays de l’UE. C’est ce qu’on appelle l’espace Schengen. [...]

"Il est urgent d'arrêter cette chasse aux Roms" | L'Express | Par Kévin Le Louargant | 26/08/2010
Réuni à l'occasion de la publication de son rapport annuel, le collectif Romeurope a dénoncé la "politique disproportionnée" du gouvernement à l'égard des 10 000 à 15 000 Roms de France. [...]

Les expulsions de camps illégaux de Roms | La Depeche.fr | par AFP | 28/07/2010
Voici la la liste des principales expulsions de camps illégaux de roms par les forces de l'ordre depuis 2009, généralement à la suite de décisions de justice. [...]

La détresse des Roms | La Libre Belgique | par George Soros |  26/08/2010
Les Roms sont confrontés à une forme de discrimination inédite en Europe depuis la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Hommes, femmes et enfants sont expulsés dans plusieurs démocraties sous prétexte qu’ils constitueraient un risque pour l’ordre public. Une opinion de George Soros, dirige le Fond de gestion Soros.
