Interrogation in War and Conflict: between Liberty, Security and Justice
After recent revelations of a « UK Abu Ghraib », with allegations of systematic mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners of war at a British military interrogation centre, and the opening of a formal inquiry, the role of military interrogations has once again been under scrutiny. This seems a particularly opportune time to discuss « interrogation » both as a military event and as a cultural phenomenon. Interrogation raises moral questions, especially for states that see themselves as « liberal », but it can also be approached from many other angles. It is often, for example, a « first contact » between actors who come from different cultures and speak different languages. It sets out to elicit information, but the absorption of that information depends on the conceptual scheme of the interrogator. There are important differences between interrogations done by ordinary soldiers, debriefings by professional intelligence operatives, and interviews that generate forensic evidence. -

Autoproduction: When the artist or designer is the Producer of their own work
2nd International Meeting of Art and Design
Appel à contribution. Les deuxièmes Rencontres internationales de l’art et du design, organisées par l’École supérieure d’art et de design de Reims, auront cette année pour thème l’autoproduction. Mettant en cause des modèles de développement, de consommation et de représentation de l’industrie à grande échelle, de plus en plus de designers choisissent – ou sont contraints - de se (ré)approprier le territoire de la production. Diverses et variées, leurs démarches se posent comme des systèmes d’adaptation à la crise économique et industrielle de ces dernières années, aussi bien que comme des prises de positions éthiques, esthétiques et politiques. Ces Rencontres seront l’occasion de circonscrire les enjeux théoriques et plastiques de l’autoproduction dans le contexte socioéconomique et culturel actuel. -

Contemporary Uses of the Second World War in Russia
The Journal of Power Institutions in Post-Soviet Societies
The Second World War gave rise in the USSR to a myth whose beginnings already existed at the time, but which developed gradually, finally taking on institutionalized form after the 1960s (essentially in the sense of commemorative plaques, monuments and museums) in the context of the Cold War and the evolution of the system that followed on de-Stalinisation (N. Tumarkin). We will thus examine contemporary visions and re-appropriations of the history of the war – from local testimony-collection initiatives, school war museums and school textbooks, to representations in films, programmes on Zvezda, and cultural events.
