About….Daphné L. Romy-Masliah and Cosmopolitanism!
Welcome to a blog where all comments on English as an International Language, on Multiculturalism, on Plurilingualism and on Cosmopolitanism are at the core of our hopefully interesting discussions. Let me introduce myself a bit… French born and Swiss Resident I taught in France, Canada, Switzerland and since 2003 in Algeria, as an Invited Professor at the University of Sidi Bel Abbès where I give a seminar every year. Parallel to my academic activities, I am currently an English Teacher at the Ecole de Culture Générale Jean Piaget in Geneva. I’m a member of the French CNRS Affiliated Centre d’Etudes et de Recherches: Fondements du Droit Public…or whatever name it now took (French academics always have a feud in stock;-). My research and publications focus on the relation between International English, plurilingualism and multiculturalism. French born, Swiss Resident, teaching in Algeria, Scottish Baroness of Sefardic JewishTunisian, Italian, Palestinian and Maltese descent, I am cosmopolitan from over 2000 years of diaspora heritage. You will find on this blog my various publications and articles. Together with Geneviève Koubi, I am this year the Editor-in-Chief of a special issue of the French Journal Droit et Culture which will deal with national and regional…
Académie Sans Frontières (ASF)- Bordeless Academia – Academia sin Fronteras
See my various posts, particularly in About (26 August 2006) in my post on my Facebook group of sociolinguists and in my Summer-Fall Newsletter. Join our ASF Facebook group, if you have the time, energy and vision…Indeeed, it’ss high time educators promoted their common belief in education…Although I invite you to always look at the brightside of life![slideshow] Teaching our students to think by themselves, giving them the analytical tools to distanciate from immediate media pressure, teaching them to think differently and to take a step back to use their own brain…. Almost 250 oustanding individuals, teachers and scholars have already joined us, which means that they can promote any academic event, link, forum or call for paper….or simply get to know other teachers and academics from other countries, no matter their political differences, their conflicting identities or their loyalty to a specific community. Please contribute in your own language, but of course only if the contents is deemed appropriate in terms of (self) respect. We should be a group as diverse in opinions and origins as possible. You can say it all if you are ready to hear contradicting views and if you are ready to change your mind. Any blatant manifestation of…
African-American perspectives
As much as I believe in cosmopolitanism, I still admire some public intellectuals with a strong stand on minorities or communautarian perspectives and already published Renford Reese’s insight on Obama’s election so here’s a follow-up page on which I intend to publish those papers I find particularly interesting from my multiculturalism perspective… Here are two particularly telling article regarding Ted Kennedy and Michael Jackson. Inland Valley Daily Bulletin (Ontario, CA) Opinion, A15 August 30, 2009 Guest Columnist: Renford Reese http://www.dailybulletin.com/opinions/ci_13232773 Ted Kennedy: Civil Rights Icon Who Put People First When I grew up in the 1970s in McDonough, GA (near Atlanta) I was immersed in the spirit of the Civil Rights Movement. I heard countless stories of the giants of the movement: Martin Luther King Jr., Ralph Abernathy, Andrew Young, etc. Although I knew of Ted Kennedy I never heard his name mentioned in the same breath as those whose fundamentally changed the landscape of civil rights in the U.S. Kennedy, fondly known as the Lion of the Senate, should be considered one of the lions of the movement to secure civil rights in the U.S. Although less visible than his African American contemporaries, his legacy on this issue is…

La démocratie Directe a peu d’influence sur le degré de protection des minorités. Pour les Suissesses et les Suisses, le fait que de nombreuses décisions politiques soient prises directement par le peuple coule de source. La population ne fait pas qu’élire ses représentants au Parlement, elle est également appelée à se prononcer sur divers projets ainsi que sur des initiatives et des référendums. Les avantages de cette démocratie directe sont souvent portés au nues. Sous un angle scientifique, il n’est toutefois pas évident que cette dernière soit vraiment éeilleure et plus équiable qu’une démocratie indirecte dans laquelle le peuple délègue la marche des affaires au Parlement. Certains chercheurs estiment que les minorités pâtissent…

Others are young and raw from razors. All of them have faces hollowed by the gravity of their work -they smoke furiously with the knowledge of those who might be dead in just a few hours. Hunching down into their overcoats, they can perhaps still smell last night on their bodies – they might have been drunk or they might have been making love or they might have been both at once. 5: After a few minutes, Power crouches down and takes…

Uçarlar, Nesrin ” Between Majority Power and Minority Resistance: Kurdish Linguistic Rights in Turkey” Lund University (2009) Abstract As the most figurative asset of membership in a majority or minority and the most symbolic aspect of national identity, language is a major site of struggle for majority power and minority resistance. For the purposes of this study, which focuses on the question of Kurdish linguistic rights in Turkey, the sites of struggle for majority power and minority resistance ase as follows: the documents of international and European organisations on the linguistic rights of minorities, the impact of modernisation and nation-state building process in Turkey on the Kurdish-speaking community and resistance engendered by the Kurdish intelligentsia in the European diaspora and in Turkey against the majority power delimiting the Kurdish linguistic rights. The problematisation or de-normalisation of minority rights and minority resistance constitutes the overall aim of this study. This problematisation is done in two parts, first of which includes a deconstructive analysis using three binary oppositions: the minority and the majority; the individual and community; and the public and private sphere with special reference to language, a significant component of nationalist discourse. This movement also forms the basis of the…

Bibliography with a B like Benjamin Barber
OK, ABOUT TIME I STARTED THE VERY REASON FOR WRITING THIS BLOG…ADDING BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTES. So let’s start it here with a first entry, my mentor’s books (refer to his webpage for more) and my notes about my extremely subjective preferences, in the original language in which I took the notes: my notes: numbers correspond to my pages Barber, Benjamin. 1995. Face à la Retribalisation du Monde. Esprit (Juin 1995):132-144. 132: L’AMERIQUE ET LA FRANCE, “république soeurs” partagent le besoin de réconcilier des sociétés multiculturelles et plurielles avec une idéologie civique de la démocratie qui implique l’intégration. 133:S’il est revendiqué en Améfique comme une propriété culturelle, le multiculturalisme hante ajjourd’hui, tel un spectre, l’Europe et le monde. La political correctness, les préoccupations de race et de sexe, les controverses sur le “canon”, l’intérêt pour le multiculturalisme qui donne naissance à tous ces phénomènes, continent sans doute de susciter plus de discours aux Etats-Unis qu’ailleurs; mais la pertinence de ces débats pour les autres continents apparaît enfin et la possibilité de tirer des leçons de l’expérience américaine est reconnue. Le fait (stupéfiant) est que moins de 10% des Etats actuels sont réellement homogènes, et que l’ethnie majoritaire représente plus des trois quarts…
Cosmo People
This page is dedicated to people who, in my mind, reflect this blog, their diverse backgrounds or research or interest or singled out individual view of the world make them worth casting some light about what a cosmopolitan personality really means for me (Daphné Romy-Masliah). You will find here from the newest to the oldest entries some particularly interesting testimonies. Enjoy! The first piece (i.e. the latest I publish) deals with a scholar I never met, except through what her grieved son, Probal, told me. I hope you’ll enjoy and marvel as much as I did, with one regret, not to have met such a wonderful lady who passed away last month. May she rest in peace and may her work continue speaking for her. (January 9, 2011) The democratic imagination and Manashi Dasgupta’s legacy by Probal Dasgupta Probal Dasgupta, an Honorary Member of the Linguistic Society of America and a member of the Akademio de Esperanto, teaches at the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. Two of his mother Manashi’s books (a novel, 2006, and an autobiography, 1989) translated by him into Esperanto have received critical acclaim. The following piece is Probal’s Obituary about his mother Manashi Dasgupta. Initially published in several…
Indigenous Populations and related linguistic issues
Once upon a time, I wrote a Ph.D. on Multiculturalism and its sociolinguistic implications in Canada, Australia and the United States of America. At that time, although I mentioned indigenous populations issues and attended the UN Working group on Indigenous Populations in Geneva, I strictly abode to the notion that these populations have nothing to do with multiculturalism. These populations didn’t come with their linguistic luggage to settle in Founding Countries, to use a Louis Hartz formula, but they preexisted such notions as colonisation, multiculturalism and multiple identities… I still believe the distinction is not only valid but essential. However, I also teach in Algeria where my colleague Samira Houcine wrote a thesis on Tamazight, an indigenous language present in all North Africa and preexisting the various subsequent colonisations. And I read with great interest the various publications by Prof. Isabelle Schulte-Tenckhoff on the same issue of Indigenous populations, thus always kept my interest quite alive. It might come from a personal identity too…After all, my family, as cosmopolitan as it may seem, probably has Berber ties, as much as, on my father’s side, we are the Indigenous Population of Israel if one cares to consider as such the jewish…
Cosmopolitical Multiculturalism: A plurilingual form of humanism
COLORFUL FLAGS PROGRAM In 1996, Renford Reese received his doctoral degree from the University of Southern California’s School of Public Administration. He conducted his doctoral research on ethnic conflict and intergroup relations at the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development in Geneva, Switzerland. He received his Master’s degree in public policy from the Vanderbilt Institute for Public Policy Studies in 1990. He received his Bachelors of Arts degree in political science from Vanderbilt University in 1989. He is the founder/director of the Colorful Flags program and teaches in the political science department at Cal Poly Pomona University. You can see Dr. Renford Reese’s homepage here. History In March 1991 an African-American teenager named Latasha Harlins walked into a South Central Los Angeles convenience store owned by a Korean-American merchant. Shortly after entering, she got into an intense argument with the Korean-American clerk over a bottle of orange juice the clerk thought the teenager was attempting to shoplift. Words were exchanged as the two grabbed for the orange juice bottle. After the scuffle, Harlins attempted to exit the store, but before she could leave, the clerk shot her fatally in the back. This tragic incident weighed on Renford Reese’s mind…
Poetic mood – Humeur poétique.
Brise marine, Stéphane Mallarmé La chair est triste, hélas! et j’ai lu tous les livres. Fuir! Là bas fuir! Je sens que les oiseaux sont ivres D’être parmi l’écume inconnue et les cieux. Rien, ni les vieux jardins reflétés par les cieux Ne retiendra ce coeur qui dans la mer se trempe. O nuits! Ni la clarté déserte de ma lampe Sur le vide papier que la blancheur défend Et ni la jeune femme allaitant son enfant. Je partirai! Steamer balançant ta mâture Lève l’ancre pour une exotique nature! Un Ennui, désolé par les cruels espoirs, Croit encore à l’adieu suprême des mouchoirs! Et, peut-être, les mâts, invitant les orages Sont-ils de ceux qu’un vent penche sur les naufrages Perdus, sans mâts, sans mâts, ni fertiles îlots… Mais ô mon coeur entend le chant des matelots! Shylock’s monologue, in the Merchant of Venice by the Greatest of All…. “I am a Jew… Hath not a Jew eyes ? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions ? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as…
Sociolinguists on Facebook’s and Happy Birthday Project
Once upon a time, about three years ago, I discovered Facebook thanks to my daughter. Needless to say, as a communicator, I was immediately attracted to the groups and wanted to join a group of sociolinguists. At that time there was none, and we still aren’t too many, although of course we are now much more than we used to be, but this group remains very special because we also created new networks, gathered our research issues and keep adding links which are very precious. I have already mentioned in a tiny post where I stated what a wonderful Group we were…and how many languages we speak! Now, let me just update you with our ongoing discussions which will be developed in this page. Sommaire Details : A- Membership issues. 1. introduce yourself. 2. Free Educational Material. 3.

Thesis
Thesis I have a very open policy of sharing both my research and papers with my colleagues. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you wish to receive my various publications…provided I can fulfill that wish as some documents might request a scan. I will be happy, as usual to be of any help. The only thing I demand is an acknowledgement of your sources…and of course I’d be pleased to know I have been of some use to you! FOREWORD ABSTRACT TABLE OF CONTENTS La fin du vingtième siècle voit l’avènement des principes et valeurs que la fin du siècle dernier avait niés et réduits. A l’autoritarisme en matière de planification économique, sociale et culturelle qui s’était manifesté par un partage du monde entre Etats-Nations souverains, succède la revanche des minorités qui ont subi ce joug avec plus ou moins de bonheur. Une des principales et apparemment innocentes revendications des minorités a toujours été la langue en tant qu’expression première d’une appartenance à un groupe donné. La langue, dont la définition de tout bon dictionnaire indique qu’elle permet aux hommes de communiquer entre eux, a servi en fait de rempart et de symbole d’appartenance à une entité séparée. Il est donc…
