Today, it is exactly four years ago that Charlie Hebdo was massacred. My father, who died in 2000, used to bring copies of Hara-Kiri home when I was a boy.
Hara-Kiri was the previous incarnation of Charlie Hebdo, after Hara-Kiri had been permanently banned by the French government.
I recently looked at ALL covers of Hara-Kiri, which you can find here.
The funniest cover is perhaps Hara-kiri n°162 (March 1975) which depicts a frontal view of male genitals wearing a shirt along with the following accompanying text:
- "Chômeurs ! c'est pas avec cette tête la que vous trouverez du boulot rasez-vous !"
English:
- "Unemployed! You won't find a job with your face looking like this. Shave yourselves!"
I am thus an unabashed fan of Charlie Hebdo. I am also a fan of the right to offend. The words of Marquis de Sade from "Yet Another Effort, Frenchmen, If You Would Become Republicans" are particularly apt here:
- "I should like there to be perfect freedom to deride them all [all religions]; I should like men, gathered in no matter what temple to invoke the eternal who wears their image, to be seen as so many comics in a theater, at whose antics everyone may go to laugh."
For those of you who think that Charlie Hebdo was obsessed with Islam. You are mistaken. It is simply not true and it has been proven.
Art critic Yve-Alain Bois in "Taken Liberties: Yve-Alain Bois on Charlie Hebdo"[1] has stated:
- "A statistical analysis of Charlie Hebdo's content over the past ten years, particularly that of its front page, was published in Le Monde on February 25. It reveals not only that the publication was actually less obsessed with religion than is generally supposed, with only 7 percent of its front pages devoted to the subject, but also that the topic of Islam makes up less than a fifth of even these covers. When Charlie attacks religion--its contributors are particularly exercised by fundamentalism (of all stripes) and the hypocrisy of the clergy--Catholicism is most often the butt of its satire."
So only seven percent is devoted to religion, and of that seven percent, only 20% with Islam. Which makes for a total of 100*.07*.2 equals 1.4 percent. Yve-Alain Bois bases himself on research by Jean-François Mignot and Céline Goffette titled "Non, ‘Charlie Hebdo’ n’est pas obsédé par l’islam" ["No, 'Charlie Hebdo' is not obsessed with Islam"], published in Le Monde, February 24, 2015.

Every year, I check which authors have become public domain.
In 2019, the list includes German artist Kurt Schwitters, German actor Karl Valentin, Soviet film director Sergei Eisenstein, French playwright, actor and director Antonin Artaud, Soviet-born painter Arshile Gorky, American film director D. W. Griffith, German actor, film director, and screenwriter Paul Wegener, Hungarian composer Franz Lehár and Cuban percussionist Chano Pozo.

Jan-Willem Geerinck Ik heb me nog niet zo heel erg verdiept in deze materie maar twee onderzoeken zijn me het laatste jaar wel opgevallen, beide beweren ze, en ik denk dat ze daarin gelijk hebben, dat IEDEREEN racist is, dat wil zeggen, beslissingen neemt op wat hem vertrouwd of onvertrouwd is. Die onderzoeken zijn Frank Van Overwalle (VUB) met zijn "Zijn we allemaal racisten?" en "Iedereen racist: de multiculturele droom ontleed" by Alain van Hiel (UGent).
Het is natuurlijk wel ieders opdracht om tegen zijn racisme te vechten in zoverre hij of zijn een betere en meer rechtvaardige wereld wil. Ik ben een boek aan 't lezen dat ik later deze maand zal bespreken en daar kwam het onderzoek van deze man me onder de ogen. Hoogst interessant. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGynKOSD58M
John McWhorter On the Religion of Anti-Racism
"Adversary culture" is a notion first brought forward by Lionel Trilling in Beyond Culture (1965) and elaborated upon by Daniel Bell in "The Intellectuals and the New Class".
- The Adversary Culture
- "The phrase, the thought, is that of Lionel Trilling. In the preface to Beyond Culture (1965), Trilling remarks that "any historian of the literature of the modern age will take virtually for granted the adversary intention, the actually subversive intention, that characterizes modern writing -- he will perceive its clear purpose of detaching the reader from the habits of thought and feeling that the larger culture imposes, of giving him a ground and a vantage point from which to judge and condemn, and perhaps revise, the culture that produces him.... One was the relation of the adversary culture to the middle class." --"The Intellectuals and the New Class"
Chee Shimizu Boiler Room Tokyo DJ Set, lots of Japanese ambient
Best ♩, ♪, ♫, ♬, ♭ of 2018
Apart from a brief but ardent infatuation with Dutch schlager singer André Hazes in April (you don't want to know :) ), musically the best of 2018 was the oeuvre of Hiroshi Yoshimura (1940 - 2003), who worked within Japanese ambient.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUvalZyMsoU
I discovered Hiroshi Yoshimura while listening to Birds of Venezuela (1973), an album of bird vocalizations which was re-released this year.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi6qRw4Ry_8
This whole Japanese ambient scene is most weird. There is the super sweet Jamaica ～ Waves And Light And Earth (1993) by Takashi Kokubo, which Discogs classifies as non-music. In fact, many of these albums seem to have been made as pure background music. Kokubo's album Get At The Wave (1987) was created for a new line of Sanyo air-conditioners.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34UutDrXV2Q&t=3s
Then there is the oddity Watering a Flower (1984) by Haruomi Hosono which was commissioned by Muji as in-store background music. And Hiroshi Yoshimura's A・I・R (1984) was produced for the makeup and skincare company Shiseido; while his album Surround (1986) was made for playing at the model homes of the Misawa Home corporation.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7aYjRl_6Zw
But the best album is Green (1986) by Hiroshi Yoshimura. Someone remarked that this album is what green sounds like, what plant life sounds like. So soothing, full of natural sounds that have a very relaxing effect. Enjoy.
I also discovered 6ix9ine
"The Sea In My Palm"[2] (1983) from his second album is a bit housey but my absolute favourite album is Green[3] (1986).
While listening to this stuff in December 2018, I als discovered the two meditation albums of Tony Scott: Music for Zen Meditation (1964) and Music for Yoga Meditation and Other Joys (1968).

"Instead of asking me why countries [in the West] close their gates to us, you should ask yourself why the people of Afghanistan don't take better care of their own country. Why have they been killing one another for 40 years? This happens in other countries as well – in Pakistan, in Egypt, in Syria, in Libya, in Iraq, in Yemen, and in Somalia.
[…]
"We fight amongst ourselves in our own countries, and then we expect countries that work day and night to achieve progress, to protect their people and to maintain a certain standard of living for them… We demand that they l let us in so that we can have part of their [success], after we have been fighting amongst ourselves in our own countries. Of course [they say] no. I'm not for them or against them, but I am trying to be fair in the way I look at this issue. We should be criticizing ourselves. Are we protecting our countries – yes or no?
[…]
"Are you upset with the leaders of Germany, England, Italy, or any other European country for closing their borders in order to protect the achievements of many long years? Do you expect them to open their doors so that we can go there, demanding to keep our own culture? We demand to keep our culture, which could be very different from the work ethic in those countries.
[…]
"You demand to go there with your culture, which you consider to be non-negotiable. You say: 'This is how we are and you must accept us [because of] human rights.' No. By the way, if you go to another country as a guest, you must completely abide by its laws, customs, traditions, and culture. You must abide by them completely! If you are not willing to do this, don't go. Don't expect them to open the door for you, so you can go into their country and cause trouble. No.
[…]
"You've been fighting amongst yourselves for 40 years, yet you expect [the West] to open their doors for you? No. If you want to solve the problem, you should solve it in your own countries. That's why I'm telling Egyptians that they should take better care of their country."

Ik had het gisteren nog met een oude vriend over de Nederlandse politicus Pim Fortuyn (1948 - 2002). Ons oordeel was eenduidig. Fortuyn is een held. Het huidige Europa had er heel anders uitgezien, had hij nog geleefd. Een politicus van zijn formaat komt maar eens om de zoveel jaren voorbij. Hij was de gedoodverfde winnaar van de verkiezingen van 2002. Hij zou hoe dan ook een vooraanstaande rol gespeeld hebben in de Nederlandse politiek. We stelden ons gisteren voor hoe de ontmoetingen met Trump, Erdogan en Poetin zouden geweest zijn. Europa zou er heel anders hebben uitgezien, speculeerden we.
Zeventien jaar geleden werd het interview in bijlage uitgezonden. Theo van Gogh stelt vragen. Pim Fortuyn antwoordt geamuseerd. Theo en Pim zijn twee martelaren van de vrijheid op meningsuiting.
Martelaren?
Dat klinkt bombastisch maar ze zijn allebei dood, allebei om wat ze zegden. Het interview dateert van 4 november 2001 (een dikke maand na 9/11) en begint met een vraag van Theo over een discriminatieklacht tegen Fortuyn door drie Rotterdamse anti-discriminatie-organisaties.
Ik heb niet opgezocht hoe het met dat proces is afgelopen. Vermoedelijk is het er nooit van gekomen, want een half jaar later was Fortuyn dood. Vermoord door ene Volkert van der Graaf, een links-groene dierenrechtenactivist die vond dat Fortuyn teveel polariseerde.
En dat terwijl de linkse politicus Marcel van Dam hem vijf jaar eerder een "buitengewoon minderwaardig mens" genoemd had en men de man constant met Hitler en andere fascisten vergeleek.
Een soort van Untermensch dus.
Omdat Fortuyn "stigmatiseerde" werd hij "gedemoniseerd" en vermoord. Stigmatiseren of demoniseren. Je kan je afvragen wat het ergste is.
De moordenaar van Fortuyn is inmiddels vrij. Sinds 2014 al.
Het mooie van Fortuyn is ook nog dat hij de vorige golf van religieuze onderdrukking heeft meegemaakt. Hij zegt daarover: "Ik heb ook enig recht van spreken, toen ik in 1970 voor mijn homoseksualiteit uitkwam was dat in die reden zonder meer een grond voor ontslag."
Theo van Gogh werd op 2 november 2004 vermoord. Zijn moordenaar, een fundamentalistische moslim, heeft nog steeds geen spijt betuigd en geeft aan dat -- mocht hij de kans krijgen -- hij meteen hetzelfde zou doen.
I only saw three films in 2018:
- The Man Who Killed Don Quixote by Terry Gilliam
- BlacKkKlansman by Spike Lee
- This Magnificent Cake! by Marc James Roels and Emma de Swaef
Although not comparable to the other two, the best film is This Magnificent Cake!
Ce magnifique gâteau ! (2018, This Magnificent Cake!) is written and directed by Marc James Roels and Emma de Swaef. It is cloth/fabric stop-motion film. The title is based on a dictum by Leopold II of Belgium recorded in a letter in which he remarked eagerly that he wanted his share of "this magnificent African cake".
It is an anthology film set in colonial Africa in the late 19th century telling the stories of 5 different characters: a troubled king, a middle-aged Pygmy working in a luxury hotel as an ashtray, a failed businessman on an expedition who stole the fortune of his family which subsequently went bankrupt, a lost porter and a young army deserter. And a clarinetist who is forbidden by the king to play his cuckoo notes in "The Cuckoo in the Depths of the Woods".
RIP Jorge Grau (1930 – 2018)
Jorge Grau was a Spanish film director who worked in the age of the sexual revolution which came late in Spain because of Censorship in Francoist Spain.
To the illustrious history of Spanish horror film, Grau contributed The Bloody Countess (1973) and Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (1974), the first on Elizabeth Báthory, the second on zombies.
To the history of Spanish erotica, he contributed the film La trastienda, the first Spanish film to feature full frontal nudity. The film touches upon sexual repression and Opus Dei. María José Cantudo was the actress who was first seen nude on Spanish cinema screens. While researching Grau, it also came to my attention that Cantudo also recorded a song called "Desnuda me", Spanish for "Unrobe me".

Tachtig procent van succes is gewoon komen opdagen
Zoals een onderzoek in van twee Belgische sociologen, Gil Keppens en Bram Spruyt, blijkt bestaat onschuldig afwezig zijn niet.
Spijbelen en zittenblijven zijn twee kanten van dezelfde medaille. Elke dag dat een leerling onwettig afwezig is, stijgt de kans dat hij of zij een C-attest zal halen.
Zoals de Amerikaanse komiek Woody Allen zei: "Tachtig procent van succes is gewoon komen opdagen." Als je er niet bent, kan je ook niks doen.
Daarom jongens en meisjes. Kom elke dag. Zonder fout. Spijbel niet.
Kom je al elke dag? Tof. Jullie komst maakt ons blij :).
Heb je wel eens de neiging om te blijven liggen? Neem je graag ene extra dagje vakantie? Je doet er jezelf en ons ene slechte dienst mee. Kom gewoon elke dag. Maak er uw goed voornemen van 2019 van.

RIP Bernardo Bertolucci (1941 – 2018)
And now Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci dies, 13 years the junior of Roeg, also one of the big names of European cinema. Last Tango in Paris was the first of his films I saw. I'm sure if I would see it again, it would probably bore me to death. In contrast, Performance by Roeg (see prev. post) has aged better. Both films are a testament to the sexual revolution.
The last of Bertolucci's film that I saw was The Dreamers. I remember liking it and I guess that likely hasn't changed.
Luck has it that YouTube has an entire copy of The Spider's Stratagem. Like Performance of Roeg, it is inspired by Jorge Luis Borges.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqQ0TzKqY3k
I've never seen it, I'll watch it now.
Let me end (because I can) with this beautiful juxtaposition only marginally linked to Bertolucci:
RIP Nicolas Roeg (1928 – 2018)
Nicolas Roeg dies at 90. I think Performance was the first of his films that I saw. In some Antwerp arthouse probably. Roeg's most intriguing film is Castaway, the true story of an adventurer who publishes an ad looking for a 'wife' to spend a year on a uninhabited island.
Roeg was in the beginning of his career a cinematographer. He filmed Roger Corman's The Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allan Poe.
Roeg belonged to the generation of Ken Russell and Stanley Kubrick and was the last one of the three.

RIP Cesare Canevari (1927 - 2012)
Mr Canevari died six years ago but it went unnoticed by me.
I learned of his death yesterday when I landed on Canevari's Last Orgy of the Third Reich (1977) via Nazi Love Camp 27 (1977). God knows what brought me there.

So this morning I watched Matalo! (1970), the Spaghetti Western directed by Canevari.
It's a whole lot better than Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot![6] (1967), which I watched this January.
Matalo! sets itself apart by its psychedelic sequences, the silence, the lack of dialogue, the sound effects and the soundtrack by Mario Migliardi.

I finished another roman dur by Simenon, L'Enterrement de Monsieur Bouvet, one might say a rather unremarkable novel were it not for the fact that it makes one realize that it used to be possible to lead a double life, to disappear many times in one's life and start all over again elsewhere without leaving a trace. And were it not of course that it is a Simenon 'roman dur' and this is the only 'genre' I currently enjoy.
Wile researching this novel, I came across L'univers de Simenon : guide des romans et nouvelles (1931-1972) de Georges Simenon[7] (1983) by Maurice Piron and Michel Lemoine.

The Move (1967) is a 'roman dur' by Belgian writer Georges Simenon.
It is both a flawed novel and at the same time one of his more interesting ones due to its near total plotlessness and focus on psychological detail.
Its sub-theme is a criticism of the anonymity of modern high rise, the lack of social control, a side effect of living in the banlieue, in the same vein as Jacques Tati's films Mon oncle (1958) and Playtime (1967).
Its protagonist is an unwilling eavesdropper.
Another of its themes is an exploration of dark sexuality, a recurring motif with Simenon, such as in Un nouveau dans la ville (1950).

On 24/10, I went to a lecture by Johan Sanctorum, father of Hermes Sanctorum. Location was Godfried-Willem Raes Logos. Sanctorum lauded Raes continually for choosing a different path than Marcel Broodthaers, an artist he derides. Sanctorum despises the soixante-huitards and their long march through the institutions. The fact is, that Raes only lost his subsidies last year so he was one of the soixante-huitards who benefited from the system the whole time, just like Broodthaers (or even more so, maybe Broodthaers depended more on artworld money than on state sponsorship.

Vandenberghe Pieter "Voor mij was de Sismondi de laatste liberaal. Samen met Frère Orban. Al wat nog volgde was gelovige middenstand in de Kerk van de heilige Smith en Ricardo. De meesten moeten Keynes nog tegenkomen. En die mens is -gelukkig voor zijn zielsrust- al lang dood en begraven."

"That's The Joint The Hip Hop Studies Reader Murray Forman And Mark Anthony Neal"
There's something strange going on with gangsta rap with its homophobic and misogynist lyrics. It promotes violence ("Fuck tha Police") and at the same time people complain about the "black problem", black youth, and the number of incarcerated black young people that is disproportionately high.
Yet the record industry makes millions off of it and many black hip hop artists are worldwide role models.
Hip hop studies is a multidisciplinary field of study that encompasses sociology, anthropology, .... That's the Joint: The Hip Hop Studies Reader
