Finally, I joined a thought-provoking teach-in 'What's happening in Gaza' at the University of Sheffield!

This was followed by an hands-on Tatreez workshop led by Muna, Tatreez Revival, where I learned the traditional Palestinian embroidery technique. If you’re interested in learning more or hosting a workshop, I highly recommend checking out her work. www.tatreez.uk

The article advocates for the necessity of examining the colonial origins of such powers (in France) and techniques within the broader context of counterterrorism.

The article explores the paradox between the exceptional, unprecedented terrorist threat and the forever application of exceptional powers, expressed through the discursive and political constructed temporalities which render desecuritisation unattainable.

And for excellent work on Mayotte, please read this book by @remicarayol.bsky.social “Mayotte. Département colonie”

For more on this kind of work, on the French police and the control of bodies rooted in a colonial system I suggest the fabulous work of @mathieurigouste.bsky.social

Article non yet published but happy to discuss it in DMs

Measures which have been created in 1955 during the French colonial regime in Algeria and are now disguised as counterterrorism measures in the contemporary.

These measures are implemented to control non-white bodies and spaces in the everyday. Whether it is in the former colonies, in the banlieues and quartiers populaires, are streets (during the protests).

The lines between military and police are blurred.

Just added you! :)
