        The education system in colonial Algeria (1833-1962)

        Statistical and historiographical review

        by Kamel Kateb

        ‘‘The means of dominating a people and assimilating it is to take possession of childhood and youth: this cannot be done by coercion, but the moral means are numerous and effective... The object of our efforts must be the extension of Arabic-French teaching: it is through this that we will take possession of the new generations almost from the cradle.’’ (Leroy-Beaulieu, 1887). (Leroy-Beaulieu, 1887). What is the record of French education in Algeria during the period of colonisation? After 132 years of French presence in Algeria (annexed to France in 1838), how many Algerians (French Muslims, indigenous French subjects) had a sufficient knowledge of the French language, and how many of them had learned to read and write in French? Was compulsory schooling for children aged 6 to 13, in accordance with the J. Ferry law of 1882, applied in Algeria? How many Algerian children attended state schools? How many went to lycée and university? What was the number of students at the time of the country's independence? How many doctors, engineers, primary and secondary school teachers did Algeria have at the time of its independence? What was the status of local languages (Arabic, dialectal Arabic, Berber) in the Algerian education system? As well as answering the questions listed above, this book attempts to analyse the objectives assigned to French schools in Algeria and to study the attitudes of the various populations to the objectives pursued. What role did education play in the various forms of colonial ‘confrontation’? What was the role of the elites produced by the colonial education system? And what role and place did they occupy in the struggle for Algerian independence? Were they the driving force behind the independence movement, as the Europeans in Algeria feared? Or did they mediate between colonisation and the mass of the colonised, as the enlightened ideologists of the colonial system hoped?

        Der Tag der Wunder

        Roman. Aus dem Portugiesischen von Maralde Meyer-Minnemann. Nachwort von Dieter Offenhäußer

        by Lídia Jorge, Maralde Meyer-Minnemann, Dieter Offenhäußer

        Lídia Jorge wurde 1946 in der Ortschaft Boliqueime in der Algarve geboren. Ihre Jugend verbrachte sie dort als Einzelkind bei der Mutter und anderen weiblichen Familienmitgliedern. Alle Männer, der Großvater, der Vater und dessen Brüder, waren ins Ausland abgewandert. Die Abwesenheit der Männer, der enge Kontakt mit der ländlichen Umgebung, mit dem "Geruch der Erde", dem Wechsel der Jahreszeiten prägten ihre Kindheitserlebnisse ebenso wie die vielen wunderbaren, oft wundersamen Geschichten, die man sich dort erzählte. Nach ihrer Schulzeit in Faro zog sie nach Lissabon und studierte Romanistik. Während des Kolonialkrieges hielt sie sich mit ihrem ersten Mann, einem Offizier der Luftwaffe, einige Jahre in Afrika auf: zunächst in Angola (1969 - 1970), dann in Mosambik (1972 - 1974). Nach ihrer Rückkehr unterrichtete sie an einem Gymnasium in der Hauptstadt, arbeitete für das portugiesische Erziehungsministerium und lehrte an der Universität Lissabon Literaturwissenschaft. Bereits ihre beiden ersten Romane, O dia dos prodígios (1980, Der Tag der Wunder) und O cais das merendas (1982), wurden zu Hauptwerken der neueren portugiesischen Literatur, die sich in der Nachfolge der Nelkenrevolution von 1974 entwickelte. 1984 erschien ihr dritter Roman, der die magische Welt der beiden ersten Bücher verläßt und in Lissabon spielt, Notícia da cidade silvestre (Nachricht von der anderen Seite der Straße). Auch dieser Roman wurde von der Kritik als ein Meisterwerk der portugiesischen Gegenwartsliteratur gefeiert. Für O cais das merendas und Notícia da cidade silvestre bekam sie jeweils den Preis der Stadt Lissabon verliehen. Wie für viele Angehörige ihrer Generation war die Erfahrung des Kolonialkrieges für Lídia Jorge ganz entscheidend: "Die Geschichte dieses Krieges", so meinte sie in einem Gespräch, "muß erst noch geschrieben werden." Und sie schreibt sie: aus der Perspektive einer Frau, in dem 1988 erschienenen Roman A costa dos murmúrios (Die Küste des Raunens). Die Erzählerin sieht nach zwanzig Jahren jene Monate, die sie als junge Frau eines kriegsbegeisterten Offiziers in Mosambik in einer Atmosphäre latenter Gewalt erlebte, nun in ihrer ganzen Zwiespältigkeit. 1992 wurde ihr Roman A última dona und die Erzählung A instrumentalina (Eine Liebe) veröffentlicht, gefolgt von dem Roman O jardim sem limites (1995, Paradies ohne Grenzen), der in Lissabon spielt. 1996 erschien das Theaterstück A Maçon und 1997 der Erzählungsband Marido e outros contos. Ihr letztes Buch O vale da paixão (1998, Die Decke des Soldaten) wurde mit vielen Preisen ausgezeichnet, darunter dem Preis des portugiesischen Pen-Clubs, dem Dom Dinis-Preis, dem Máxima de Literatura-Preis, dem Bordalo Pinheiro-Preis und dem Jean Monet-Literaturpreis. Von der französischen Regierung wurde ihr im Jahr 2000 der Grad eines Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres verliehen. 2006 ist Lídia Jorge gemeinsam mit ihrer Übersetzerin Karin von Schweder-Schreiner erste Trägerin des neu geschaffenen internationalen Literaturpreises Albatros. Die Auszeichnung wird von der Bremer Günter Grass Stiftung vergeben. Jorge erhält den Preis für ihr Romanwerk, sie habe - so die Jury - die »Dämonen lusitanischer Geschichte, die Kolonialkriege und die Nachwirkungen der Diktatur im intimen Rahmen von Familien und Gruppen aufgespürt«. Schweder-Schreiner habe die geschichtenreichen Bücher Jorges »meisterlich« übersetzt. 2007 erhält Lídia Jorge den »Grande Prémio SPA/Millennium« für ihr Lebenswerk. Der Preis in Höhe von 25.000 Euro wird vom Portugiesischen Schriftstellerverband vergeben und von der Millennium Bank unterstützt. Ihre Bücher sind immer autobiographisch, niemals aber Autobiographie; stets Annäherung an die Wirklichkeit, sind sie dennoch nicht ihr Abbild. "Literarische Kühnheit und analytische Schärfe" bescheinigen ihr die Kritiker. "Ich schreibe aus Instinkt. Wie im Leben. Ohne Netz und ohne Deckung", sagt Lídia Jorge.

        Love for Northeast China

        by Laoteng, whose real name is Teng Zhenfu, is a member of the Tenth Presidium of the China Writers Association and is currently the Party Secretary and Chairman of the Liaoning Writers Association. He has published ten novels, includingThe Northeast China, The Numerous Armed Conflicts,and The Forests of Beizhang;eight collections of novels, such as The Black Thrush and A City Without Crows; and three cultural essays, such as Confucian Notes. He has won the 15th and 16th Five-One Project Awards,respectively, and The Northeast China has been selected on the list of 2021 Chinese Good Books.

        "Never invest beyond theShanhai Pass", as the saying goes.The particular cultural environment and openness make the brain drain in Northeast China extremely serious. However, Miao Qing, a seemingly delicate doctoral student from a famous school, resolutely went northward because she had a personal plan thatwas related to both her father and herself, namely, to design a world-leading large aircraft. Her father once said that just as a poet without imagination must be a lousy poet, a country without advanced aircraft could never escape the fate of a backward country. For this reason, Miao Qing started her career atKunpeng Group, later went to Feiying Company to produce a leading small low-altitude aerial drone, and then sheplayed the leading role in the national G-31 project that designed a stealth supersonic aircraft and made a successful trial flight.

        Where is Russia Heading?

        by Jens Siegert

        Vladimir Putin has been ruling Russia for 25 years. There is no end in sight to his dictatorship. He relies on repression at home and is waging a war of destruction against a neighbouring country. The conflict with the West has long become a systemic conflict between an illiberal-autocratic ideology and liberal-democratic principles. Nothing will change as long as Putin remains in power. Nevertheless, as far as can be ascertained under unfree conditions, the majority of the population seems to be supporting Putin. Does this mean that too many people in Russia do not want democracy or peace? Will everything remain the same after Putin? Or is there a chance that Russia will eventually take a different, more democratic path? Whatever the outcome of the war in Ukraine, Russia is not going to disappear. We will still have to deal with our big neighbour in the east. This makes it all the more important to focus on longer-term developments. As a recognised expert on Russian history and society, the author outlines what the post-Putin era might look like. His in-depth analysis makes it clear that Russia is partly Putin, but Putin is not everything about Russia.

        Ireland and the European Union

        Economic, political and social crises

        by Michael Holmes, Kathryn Simpson, Dimitris Papadimitriou, Kathryn Simpson, Paul Tobin

        This book examines how Ireland's relationship with the EU was affected by a succession of crises in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The financial crisis, the Brexit crisis and the migration crisis were not of equal significance on the island of Ireland. The financial crisis was a huge issue for the Republic but not Northern Ireland, Brexit had a major impact in both polities, the migration and populism issues were less controversial, while foreign policy challenges had a minimal impact. The book provides a summary of the main features of each of the crises to be considered, from both the EU and the Irish perspective. Ireland and the European Union is the first volume of its kind to provide a comprehensive analysis on British-Irish relations in the context of Brexit. It assesses the Withdrawal Agreement and Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland, the devolution settlement and the 1998 Agreement, as well as the European dimension to Northern Ireland's peace process. The contributors explore a number of policy areas that are central to the understanding of each of the crises and the impact of each for Ireland. Chapters examine issues such as security, migration and taxation as well as protest politics, political parties, the media, public opinion and the economic impact of each of these crises on Ireland's relationship with the EU.

        Germany's Russia problem

        The struggle for balance in Europe

        by John Lough

        The relationship between Germany and Russia is Europe's most important link with the largest country on the continent. But despite Germany's unparalleled knowledge and historical experience, its policymakers struggle to accept that Moscow's efforts to rebalance Europe at the cost of the cohesion of the EU and NATO are an attack on Germany's core interests. This book explains the scale of the challenge facing Germany in managing relations with a changing Russia. It analyses how successive German governments from 1991 to 2014 misread Russian intentions, until Angela Merkel sharply recalibrated German and EU policy towards Moscow. The book also examines what lies behind efforts to revise Merkel's bold policy shift, including attitudes inherited from the GDR and the role of Russian influence channels in Germany.

        Involução e outros contos para um mundo em crise

        Colectânea de contos traduzidos pelos vencedores do Concurso de Tradução Literária 2020

        by Sandra Tamele

        Neste terceiro volume da Colectânea de Contos Traduzidos pelos vencedores do Concurso de Tradução Literária, apresentamos seis contos publicados entre 2017 e 2019 no âmbito do Caine Prize for African Writing e da colectânea New Short Fiction from Africa: ‘Involução’ da autoria da sul-africana Stacy Hardy que aborda abertamente a sexualidade da mulher, também preocupações sociais e políticas, faz alusão a questões como a degradação ambiental, o colonialismo e direitos da mulher, ancorados numa teatralidade conceptual necessária para que o conto não se torne efémero e engaje o sentido de humor do leitor para o aproximar da mente aberta de Hardy. ‘A heroína misteriosa’ ou ‘Mavbanelo na mayi’ em Bitonga, é da autoria da Tanzaniana Lydia Kasese. Ela escreve sobre as expectativas e pressões sociais que levam as mulheres a desejarem concertar tudo. Neste conto Kasese traz destramente à luz questões sobre o abuso de menores e o seu impacto sobre as famílias na Tanzânia e, não só. Alinafe Malonje estreou-se nesta colectânea da Short Story Day com o conto ‘Manutenção de Rotina’, um registo metafísico de um hotel: parte alegoria, parte meditação com um subtil comentário sobre o que significa ser mulher no Malawi. Natasha Omokhodion-Kalulu Banda cria um fabuloso hotel de fantasia que contém realidades sinistras, construindo um persuasivo mundo alternativo. Tariro Ndoro em ‘A lenda das duas irmãs’, ou ‘Xihitana xa vamakwavu na makwavu’ em Changana, traz uma abordagem arrepiante dos perigos da saudade, onde a busca por uma irmã num hotel de luxo em Victoria Falls tem um fim fantasmagórico. Mampianina Randria nos apresenta em ‘O Gatilho’, ou ‘Niyódeké sê xidúvúlá’ em Changana, um conto com um ritmo cerrado e um desfecho totalmente inesperado onde uma mulher que lida com as frustrações de quem entra na vida adulta.

        Britain in China

        by Robert Bickers

        This is a study of Britain's presence in China both at its peak, and during its inter-war dissolution in the face of assertive Chinese nationalism and declining British diplomatic support. Using archival materials from China and records in Britain and the United States, the author paints a portrait of the traders, missionaries, businessmen, diplomats and settlers who constituted "Britain-in-China", challenging our understanding of British imperialism there. Bickers argues that the British presence in China was dominated by urban settlers whose primary allegiance lay not with any grand imperial design, but with their own communities and precarious livelihoods. This brought them into conflict not only with the Chinese population, but with the British imperial government. The book also analyzes the formation and maintenance of settler identities, and then investigates how the British state and its allies brought an end to the reign of freelance, settler imperialism on the China coast. At the same time, other British sectors, missionary and business, renegotiated their own relationship with their Chinese markets and the Chinese state and distanced themselves from the settler British.

        Eye on Egypt: Café Riche

        by Maisoon Saqer

        The book opens a unique door to the history of Cairo and its journey from a social and cultural perspective and aims to build a new and different narrative for this history—one that shows Cairo as a cosmopolitan, multicultural city. Cairo’s Cafe Riche has a deep cultural history and a broad creative and social heritage. Saqer describes it as “the site where endless friendships are established between the café and history.” Saqer’s narrative is not just about the small café, but rather constitutes observance and analysis of the presence of this café in the history of Egypt and how we can view many events surrounding it. Here there is no separation between the political and the cultural, between the historical, the social, and the artistic. The book combines history and narrative, which makes it a documented historical biography on the one hand and a creative work on the other. It also documents an important era in Egypt’s cultural history by examining the cultural and social transformations in modern Egyptian history and highlighting prominent intellectuals and creators associated with the cafe and the history of intellectual life in Egypt.

        by Li Shubo

        A Millennium from the Perspective of Arts – China in Classical Paintings tells the stories of China from paintings of different ages. It consists of six volumes, covering the Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, and the Republic of China. By introducing the details of the works and observing the artists' creative mentality, the book not only tells the big pictures of politics, military, economy, technology, and humanity in different historical periods, but also shows the daily life and aesthetics of ancient China.   As a Norwegian Chinese cultural scholar, the author Li Shubo adopts a special perspective in the book by combining the achievements of overseas Chinese studies with contemporary archaeology and art history, and uses simple language presenting a comprehensive, profound and thought-provoking picture of Chinese civilization.
