Je trouve que tout les enjeux sont bien encapsule ici:

www.college-de-france.fr/sites/defaul... . A noter: Une des panels s'appeller "Silencier les voix Palestiniennes." Il est vraiment impossible sur les medias classiques en France de parle de Palestine (sans mentionner le genocide) sans etre taxer d'anti-Semitisme. MERCI CHER MONSIEUR POUR L'ALERT. :)

... including by starving them.

Not sure I agree about the wc being more conserv. I think it divides between those who have been brought up well educated & those who have been brought up ignorant. Nor about the pro class. If it serves their interests--note how brown Zukerberg's nose got during WH meeting--they'll support fascists

I'll reply by message.

Hah! I ran into the same problematic eventually w/ my W. 8th St digs. I remember walking home from the LES 1 morning & being the nme person who came upon a divine armchair someone had left on the street to shake his/her head: "No room left." My best find was a UPS mail bag full of retro records.

There will always be a New York. (Sorry for all the cliches; I've been looking for Paris apartments all day; I do need a vacation.)... It's reassuring to hear that that spirit of solidarity in the urban jungle is still alive.

Broadway is my Beat....

2. Je viens de lire le communication de Romer, qui parle du necessite d'assurer le 'serenite des debats.' J'hallucine.

MERCI. On ne parle pas du tout de ca sur le Radio Publique. et c'est pas evident de trouver un compte rendu neutre; Le Point nous dit que parmi les invites controversial se trouve de Villepin,qui a 'ose' parle d'un 'genocide' & Albanese, ibid. Le College a aussi annuller un quoll."Phantoms de Gaza."

Uptown suits me fine. Love the area around Fort Tryon.

See my above comment; I've been in (jaded, cynical) France too long...! Not sure class comes into it?

I noticed a post- 9/11 shift, but I've always found that whenever NYers can safely inject a bit of humanity they do. Yrs ago, struggling w/suitcases, I asked a woman for directions to the JFK Express.She not only gave me dir, but took 1 of my suitcases & offered me a clean shirt to wipe off my sweat

Yes but remember they're not chez them! And they've made a choice to be in NY. And by virtue of being there they're curious and open. (Yes, I've been here too long and am jaded on the French.)

PS: Not sure my comment of yesterday went through, but just to add: The serendipitous thing is that furnishing my 1st Paris apt by found objects -- introducing that aleatory aspect -- yielded its own distinct design & curatorial aesthetic. Has it been similar for you, furnishings and wardrobe-wise?

.. which is racism by another name and which, yes, merits their being banned.
