The filmmaker, son of sociologist Pierre Bourdieu has made the docudrama Drumont story of a French anti-Semitic ais? aired Tuesday, March 19, at 20 h 45, on France 2.

Why have you looked at the Edouard Drumont course? I’ve always been very interested in the characters of failures. Drumont and the creature is really resentful. In 1886, he published The Jewish France, a despicable anti-Semitic pamphlet, which will yet be successful. After the Revolution and the Empire, the French society? Comfortable produced an unprecedented amount of men of letters. The tabloids and French fascism? Ais are, for the most part, born of the crisis of the intellectual world and overproduction of artists. Drumont illustrates this.

How to explain the ambivalent relationship between the intellectuals of the time, like Daudet, Goncourt, and Zola Drumont?

Apart from Emile Zola, most of those who attended the Alphonse Daudet literary salon were anti-Semitic. Racist ideas were widespread and were not clearly condemned, including by the leftists. There was a kind of generalized floating where the positions were not clear. The Dreyfus Affair was also established camps.

The figure of media polemicist embodied by Drumont can it have a resonance with our time?

Log Drumont, La Libre Parole, exercise? Has real power on the nascent Republic. It was an instrument of undemocratic fascist terror. As freedom of expression, like all forms of liberalism, is not a panacea, it is not opening the valves that creates democracy. That which is born again are in some forms of media and on the political level. We always find this populism underlying this way? We say that good Frenchman produce wealth and other benefit, the hijack. Sadly, I think that anti-Semitism is still valid.

This docu-drama was filmed in 2011 and its distribution has long been hampered by the chain does. You held it to be broadcast in prime time. Why?

At the time of the order, it was agreed that the film would be released at a prime time. But thereafter, the chain has offered to broadcast from 23 hours. We held firm, because it is the function of the public service to make available such a film.

The problem is that most of the people who occupy positions of responsibility in public television do it for career reasons, no real ideas or cultural training culture. They are obsessed with TV ratings and underestimate the public, to the point hesitate to disseminate historical docu-drama like this at 20 h 30. This is a fa? We despise the people, which is actually much brighter than you think.

All students khagne the prestigious Parisian school Henri IV did not respond “yes” to marriage for all. In this temple of excellence, where the heads already full even absorb some of our classics to round up some places at the entrance to the Ecole Normale Superieure, the class photo is traditionally “the time” to let off steam . The tradition is indeed whether thematic and students arrive there in disguise.

“A TWO MONTH CONTEST ON A DO ANYTHING to”

? This year, two delegates, gar ons class “Cloud 2″ – preparing the support of the ENS – predominantly feminine, launched the idea of ??a theme “gay marriage.” The debating the topic has not mobilized the crowds it was barely discussed in a meeting with his head elsewhere. “Two months of competition, we have something else to do the preparatory class choose a theme of disguise”, now wants to reassure a student. Anyway, that day, the class said “yes” to marriage, but in a minor key. Then nothing! Until the week before the famous “shooting”.

One evening in late January, instead of revising its glues (oral preparation to contest), a student Cloud 2 dares a group email questioning the choice of his cronies. “As against the reform on marriage, I plan not to disguise myself, or do not come to outright class photo Tuesday [Feb. 5]. I know that my position is a bit extreme, but hey, I have no desire to ‘support a theme representing a social issue which I am opposed. ”

“CRITICAL HIT”

Imagine that! Does not appear? Be on the photo of the preparation H-IV? Being absent from the memory that in twenty years is absolute proof that you were good at heart tees X or Y, which are from key positions … Sacrifice shows the extent of discomfort. A fact confirmed by the virulence of the mails exchanged between students and have nothing to envy the games of Deputies in the aisles of the Chamber disarray.

At some point, to defend the initial choice, even swapped the usual language pr??pas ENS for trivial: “In the photo, I’m serious hit in my ideological sensitivity, also by people who cate the only theme that was found. ”

Hopefully the author of these lines is at home in the large gap between levels of language and will find that required for admission to the ENS. Meanwhile, the issue of gay marriage has been preserved. Photo took place in the first rank with some brides in white dresses, girls disguised as boys, and even a transvestite … Shocking!

For the gossips, the QualiTV – satisfaction survey of viewers conducted by Harris Interactive for France Television Institute – would be a way of rehabilitating low emissions hearing. The idea touches, indeed, given some results that give very high adherence rates on programs that have not met a limited audience, when broadcast. This is the case of emissions “Musiques en f??te”, live from Orange Theatre, or “Adventures of medicine” (both on France 3). Little regarded, yet they arrive in the peloton heads satisfaction, with scores of 8.9 out of 10.

Yet for France T??l??visions this barometer compiled from a representative panel of viewers (between 1800 and 2000 panelists) surveyed each day for one year on all three programs each donkeys, has index value. Better, it is an internal analysis tool that can be used to improve certain content.

On France 3, the formula change, in September 2012, the magazine “Thalassa” or the takeover of the series “Commissioner Magellan” (reworked intrigues and rhythm) were decided after observation by the barometer, lower rate of satisfaction that, for once, accompanied by a decrease in hearing. Result: both programs have their curves back, and on both criteria.

FEAR OF A DERIVATIVE

A barometer is used to correct emissions and fictions can leave fear drift formatting programs. The heat donkeys could they be tempted to intervene with producers, directors, screenwriters to impose effective rules to the detriment of creation? “There is no question of working on it. Some programs are intended to meet not find a wide audience. And we will assume this. But it is also our public service mission to provide the quality a large number of viewers, “says the president of France T??l??visions, R??my Pflimlin.

The program is considered the most satisfactory “Go into the unknown” (France 2) with a 9 out of 10 is not a big surprise. The c? Ty American series “Desperate Housewives” (M6) tops while “A French village? Ais” (France 3) is the highest-rated series of French? Ease (8.7 of 10). However, political or humorous programming that attracts the public get notes disappointing satisfaction. It seems that it is the policies and comedians disappointed oivent and not the program itself.

Seventy-five years after the Anschluss of 12 March 1938, the unpleasant truths do not end up out on the servility of Austria to the Nazis, and the difficulty, after the Second World War, to get rid of this cumbersome legacy. One of the country’s most prestigious cultural institutions, the Vienna Philharmonic, has been led from 1954 to 1968 by a former member of the Nazi Party and the SS, trumpeter Helmut Wobisch. It was also a zealous collaborator of the German Gestapo “d??senjuiver” orchestra.

This is the main revelation of a survey conducted in the archives of the orchestra by a commission of historians. Posted on the website of “Philharmoniker” – a private company where the musicians themselves choose their president – the report of the Committee was presented at a press conference on Sunday, March 10 at the Opera Vienna, in the presence of the director of this, the Frenchman Dominique …

For its 40th edition, the International Festival of Angoul??me comic tribute to Albert Uderzo, 85, with a major retrospective exhibition that is largely up on his debut. Where we (re) discover a designer to stunning virtuosity as comfortable in the comic style in the realistic genre.

This exhibition, as the first volume of the huge wheel that is dedicated to you (“Uderzo full – 1941-1951″ by Philippe Cauvin and Alain Duch??ne, Hors Collection), shows that there was a very Uderzo ” active “before Asterix …

Many readers believe that Goscinny and I started with Asterix (established in 1959), while our first collaboration dates back eight years tt. I published my first drawing in 1941, in a small booklet of the Company Parisian Edition (SPE), I was 14 years old. I had forgotten about a lot of these old drawings. Some make me ashamed today.

For example, this character Flamberge, made for a cartoon that I can not stand: the style of chief facilitator was not really famous and a “distorted” my hand. However, other depictions of the time, like I did for South West, have pleased me? T favorably surprised by reviewing.

It is noted that the U.S. BD realistic you scored.

I was very influenced by authors such as Milton Caniff or Alex Raymond, who generated a lot of vocations. BD least initially attracted me the cartoon, but I quickly realized that it was not my thing. That said, I kept a “moving” style, with very exaggerated gestures. Many cartoonists have first dreamed of being a cartoon: Peyo, Morris, Franquin … And even Goscinny, saying. “I wanted to go to Disney, but Disney did not know I was there”

Disney, which ultimately is your biggest influence …

Yes or pleased t Floyd Gottfredson, who drew Mickey when I was a child, but never signed his name. Like everyone else at the time, I thought Disney was himself all the stories signed his name. At the same time, I could tell some stories were more dynamic than others. If I never made small Mickey, my characters have long been small, round and moving. I came to this job so amazing: in response to a classified ad Editions du Ch??ne seeking a designer to make a story of 12 pages. Asterix and if it had not been the success it Conna? T I have pursued this craft with series that do not work.

You draw yet?

Not. Apart from a few sketches for the studio we created, I stopped in 2009, on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of Asterix. My hand is no longer able. She began to destroy the age of 40-45 years. I consulted all the medicine in the world, but we could not do anything. Goscinny was also terrified: “Your hand, your hand …” I must say that I was very dense periods, especially when launching pilot. He had to fill pages and at the time, it was not designers. I d? working on two series at the same time (with Goscinny Asterix and Tanguy and Laverdure with Jean-Michel Charlier). Meanwhile, I continued Oumpah-Pah in the Journal de Tintin. In short, I was five boards per week. And it should not be late, if the newspaper did not come out! , Yes, I struggled.

Without “Driver”, Asterix would exist?

Not. Draw in a newspaper that was “we”, authors, was paramount. Asterix have been refused elsewhere. It is also for? We did a small and ugly with a big pif. We wanted revenge editors of the time asking us sub-Tintin. And? Has worked, for some reason …

Yes, in fact, why?

Many things have been said. The fact that the series tickled heart franchouillard ty players, the preposterous theory that it was an apology for De Gaulle in 1958 … One day, as we walked down the street with Goscinny, a gentleman called his dog “Asterix, come here!” Hey, has anyone said, usually it is the children who call their dog’s name comic heroes. Asterix entered manners. Despite its size, and thanks to the magic potion, it managed to hold in check the armies of Caesar. We all above us, a force against which we believe can not do anything.

You just give the character the writer Jean-Yves Ferri and designer Didier Conrad, who will publish later this year a fully autonomous Asterix its creators, the first of its kind. Will you supervise their work?

I do “sells” not to others, I “says.” For almost 86 years, I’m a little tired and I think I deserve a little rest. I’ll look at what is being done, of course r. Ferri is an extraordinary writer: he wrote a script which Goscinny would not be ashamed. As for drawing, I expect to see the first pages, which should not be long. I do not impose constraints on authors, except to avoid paying the libidinous. They are required to have talent and humor. However, I suggested that they do not heckle the player too, because it is likely. Once in an album, I did burn the village. I received a crazy post.

Expose you to the risk of “it was better before,” right?

This is exactly what I was told when I took over the series alone after the death of Goscinny. It does not make me a gift, the press has crushed me. I kept logs then: there said Asterix Goscinny died with. My pride took a hit. Nevertheless, I launched into the story and I decided to edit myself. Despite the criticism did not stop, readers have continued to trust me. It is a beautiful contrast.

As Tintin Herg??, have you thought about quitting the adventures of your character after your death?

It was my first idea. I even went to see a lawyer in this regard. I forgot to ask Anne Goscinny (daughter of Rene) what she thought. I was misled me, it was a decision that was not mine. As Anne did not make a reservation, we continue.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan ordered the arrest Tuesday, January 15 Prime Minister, Raja Ashraf, hint oned with a dozen other people in a corruption case of illegal energy contracts, announced a government lawyer, Aamir Abbas.

The announcement comes at a time of high tension for power, disputed since Monday evening in the heart of the capital, Islamabad, by thousands of people led by an influential religious leader who denounced the “incompetence” and “corruption” authorities.

“The president of the Supreme Court ordered the arrest of all the accused in this case, whatever their rank,” said Abbas, a lawyer for the anti Pakistan Committee (NAB, government), stating that ” Raja Ashraf is one. ”

Stuck between Cubist Caf??, a Burberry shop and relaxation area, Auguste Rodin still managed to be for six months a beautiful place in the lobby M terminal 2E at Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airport. Maybe not to the extent of the talent of the sculptor who has only 250 m2 but enough to give the urge to go further rue de Varenne visit to Paris. In six months, the fifty works on display today has regained the Rodin Museum, but another exhibition successor for the same duration as the mini-museum should present two thematic exhibitions per year.

This is the philosophy of this museum space A??roports de Paris (ADP), which opened in mid-December 2012 and officially inaugurated on Tuesday January 15. If ADP is behind the project, the manager of airport hubs …

Died of a heart attack in 1991 at the age of 65, Klaus Kinski was a “dramatic actor”, Le Monde summed up in his obituary, and added: “her eyes are too bright, his mobile face, condemned to be r of tra and evil characters, with more or less demonic killers, mad scientists and others to Jack the Ripper?”.

The man willingly cultivated a sultry picture. His 1975 autobiography scandal and away from his family, especially because there evoked sex with minors. Reissued in 1991, it was expunged of the most controversial passages.

But now Pola Kinski, his eldest daughter, now aged 60, accused his father of abusing her for fifteen years. It addresses for the first …

Jihadists who attacked on Wednesday 16 January, the gas complex Tigantourine near In Amenas probably had few illusions about their chances of survival when they launched their assault.

It was the first time a gas or oil wells in southern Algeria, yet unstable zone was successfully attacked. The attack of this group from Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) has dealt a blow to the Algerian counter-terrorism strategy, which is struggling to keep out of the Islamist insurgency in its borders, and it would contain Mali and Niger. As always in such cases, Algiers refused to negotiate and his reaction was brutal, to the extent of the impact.

A brutal strategy

Since the Algerian Islamist insurgency in the 1990s, which killed more than a hundred thousand dead, Algiers has never negotiated face kidnapping or hostage-taking. “If monks Tib??hirine, who may have been killed in a failed rescue attempt by the army, is emblematic in this respect,” says Pierre Vermeren, professor of contemporary history at the University Paris Maghreb-1 the Sorbonne.

In the bush of eastern Kabylia, where AQIM cell is active, a core of several hundred jihadists continues for more than ten years. Alger employs the same strategy of “eradication” announce? Ing each week the death of half a dozen fighters, surrounded by the army in the bush.

But kidnappings and attacks on barracks do not stop. And cities are also affected, such as Algiers in December 2007, when a suicide bomber coordinated attack against the headquarters of the government and the UN had killed 41 people. Between 2001 and February 2012, Algeria has been infinitely more attacks than its neighbors: 938 according to a statement of the Centre for Strategic Studies Africa (CESA), against 20 for Mauritania, Niger on 35 and 41 Mali.

AQIM, an Algerian phenomenon

The Algerian authorities are struggling to recognize? Be the terrorists on its territory, in Kabylia and in the South, are linked to AQIM, according to a recent report by the CESA. But this group, founded in Algeria in 2006, “remains fundamentally Algeria in its essence and direction,” according to the CESA.

Thus, the head of katiba (armed group) Mokhtar Belmokhtar, who sponsored the Amenas hostage, is an Algerian former charismatic leader of AQIM, separate movement in December 2012. As the current leader of AQIM, Abdelmalek Droukdel, he fought in the state of the Armed Islamic Group (GIA) in the 1990s, a group that gave birth to the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC Algeria), then that is a franchisee under the Al-Qaeda flag in 2006.

As and when these changes in structures, the fighters moved south, driven by the Algerian army. They gradually linked to separatist Tuareg groups and jihadists in the region, as well as network traffic (illegal, drugs, oil, weapons, general cargo). They finally established a sanctuary in northern Mali.

Algiers, an unpredictable player in the region

Yet beyond its borders, in both Mali and Niger, Algeria reluctant to worry about what happens to these become insurgent groups. His neighbors accuse Algiers not take his r? Regional. As it should be at the forefront: the state is the richest in the region, and he spends six times more resources to its military budget than all Sahelian countries combined, according to data from the International Institute for Strategic Studies ( IISS).

“Alger fears came? Born in a Saharan quagmire and seems reluctant to maintain stability in its backyard, or unable to do so,” it read in a recent report by U.S. think-tank Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Thus, Algeria has long sought to present the Tuareg separatist group and a supporter of Sharia Ansar Dine as a non-jihadist non terrorist movement. He led negotiations with the group to formally separates jihadists who hold the north of Mali, the band signing a cease-fire in December with the Malian government … It will break in early January. It will then launch its fighters in columns 4 ?? 4 to the south of Mali, with AQIM.

An embarrassing hostage

Since Algiers opened its airspace to the passage of French planes? Board, and on Monday announced the closure of its border with Mali, to deprive Islamist depth strategic retreat.

According to Pierre Vermeren the hostage crisis came Tigantourine sanction this change of position, and ruin the efforts of Algiers to distance with the Islamist insurgency and Tuareg groups in the South: “With the taking of hostages Algeria, Mokhtar Belmokhtar gave a signal to the Touareg [the region] It attempts to unify all the battles:. comfortable against French military intervention in Mali, for Touareg independence and against the Algerian state? “.
