The Egyptian opposition: from protestors to revolutionaries? | openDemocracy

http://www.opendemocracy.net/5050/maha-abdelrahman/egyptian-opposition-from-protestors-to-revolutionaries

In the first decade of the 21st century, Egyptian activists within blossoming yet embryonic labour and prodemocracy movements, participated in groups and networks that were characterised by decentralised and fluid organisational structures, diffuse boundaries and dependence on members rather than a centralised leadership - all features typical of new social movements

‘Russian Banksy’ dies: ’Expressing your opinion is form of civil defense’ — RT News

http://rt.com/news/banksy-graffiti-artist-dies-213

Last April, Pavel pulled off his most daring stunt, which provoked panic among the city’s police force.

An area in an industrial zone in Moscow was cordoned off and a bomb disposal team was called in after a report came in of a suspicious object underneath a railway bridge.

Much to everybody’s surprise, instead of a bomb the police detected a model of a space invader from the popular 80s arcade video game.

Pavel told RT that his project was called “a traffic jam fighter.”

Petrograd 1918 : célébrer la Révolution
http://terrain.revues.org/2987

Cette année-là, Petrograd, berceau de la Révolution, offrait, selon des témoignages de l’époque, un tableau des plus sinistres. Les rues obscures étaient dangereuses pour les passants : vols et agressions, dus à la famine et favorisés par l’absence de tout contrôle - l’ancienne justice et l’ancienne police avaient été abolies -, se multipliaient. La foule russe, exaspérée, trouvait un exutoire aux épreuves de la vie quotidienne en pillant les magasins de boissons alcoolisées, en ravageant les appartements luxueux des familles riches, en se vengeant sur le premier venu, avec un déchaînement digne des moments les plus violents de son histoire. « Nulle part on ne cogne aussi souvent et avec autant d’ardeur et de plaisir que chez nous en Russie », écrivait Gorki.

Elliott Colla: “The Poetry of Revolt” in the New Egypt | Radio Open Source with Christopher Lydon

http://www.radioopensource.org/elliott-colla-the-poetry-of-revolt-in-the-new-egypt

This is a new generation, a generation of activists who are not ideological. In other words, they have looked at the struggles of their parents and even grandparents against imperialism, against capitalism, against all the “isms.” By and large, they are saying that’s not how they want to understand the world, and that’s not how they’re going to organize their response to the problems that they face. In this sense, many in the leadership have no ideological platform; they are starting their analysis and their project from how they live their daily life, what they see, what they experience, what they would rather have. …

Clashing with the Ultras : A Firsthand Account
http://www.jadaliyya.com/pages/index/10204/clashing-with-the-ultras_a-firsthand-account

Témoignage du journaliste Wael Eskandar - manifestation du 15 mars 2013 où les Ultras ont empêché les manifestants de leur groupe de scander des slogans anti-régimes, n’autorisant que les slogans anti-SCAF et anti-police, confirmant leur identité anti-autoritaire et non-partisane. (révolutionnaire ?)

The march (which felt like more of a sprint) was unusually silent, apart from the interludes performed by the Ultras Ahlawy. As we tried catching up with the swiftly moving crowds, reports were circulating that Ultras members were silencing any chants expressing opposition to President Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood. There had been numerous disagreements on the Facebook wall of the event page announcing the march about the chants and whether or not people would chant against Morsi. As the march drew closer to the Ministry of Defense, it grew more silent and the reports of efforts to suppress anti-regime chants began circulating more widely.

Thus Spoke Che Nawwarah: Interview with a Revolutionary | Kenyon Review Online

“I became obsessed with sodomizing Sheikh Arif round about the time his posters started crawling all over the streets. Today is July 20, 2012, right? A little over a year and a half after we toppled our president-for-life, Hosny Mubarak. Sheikh Arif’s posters began to show up only three, maybe four months ago—when he announced he was running in the elections held by the Army to replace said president.”

Intellectual Basha | Arab intellectuals facing the challenge of change
http://intellectualbasha.wordpress.com

With the Arab revolutions, the old Marxist inspired question of intellectuals and their role in revolutions regained its importance. In Egypt, the post-revolutionary celebrations gave way to a bitter realization that most intellectuals were in the rear of the battle not in its frontlines – as leftist ideologies had promised.

A small social experiment, ‘This is just a phrase in Arabic’ tests the prejudice of the viewer. What do Arabic language and Arabic letters represent in North American mainstream culture?
