    Oceania

    Sustainable development and indigenous knowledge, climatic change, the role of museums, and artistic practices as a tool for protest

    À une époque que certains qualifient d’Anthropocène, en raison de l’impact sans précédent que les activités humaines ont sur l’équilibre planétaire, les questions de développement durable n’ont jamais été si pressantes. Les communautés autochtones du monde entier apparaissent à la fois comme particulièrement vulnérables et comme des acteurs majeurs des combats contre la surexploitation des ressources, la pollution des territoires et les effets du changement climatique. Au premier rang de ces batailles les habitants du Pacifique, en particulier les artistes, redoublent d’inventivité pour dire au monde les menaces qui pèsent sur leurs îles et sur l’incroyable diversité culturelle qu’elles abritent. Etroitement liées, la perception des territoires, le dynamisme et les facultés d’adaptation des sociétés du Pacifique s’exposent dans les musées du monde ; mais souvent sans que les voix autochtones y soient suffisamment audibles.

    Borders, walls and violence

    Costs and Alternatives to Border Fencing

    More border walls and border fences are being built every year all across the world. Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, Morocco, and Tunisia are among the latest to announce yet another border fence. Twenty-five years ago it was believed that the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reconfiguration of international relations would open an age of globalization in which States would become obsolete, ushering in a world without borders. In the wake of 9/11, however, borders came back in light, new borders were created and new border walls erected. In the wake of the Arab Spring, came even more border barriers and walls, symbols that were thought to have disappeared with the collapse of the bipolar international system. Today, they reinforce borderlines the world over, transforming both soft and semi-permeable borders alike into sealed, exclusionary hard borders. Walls are symbols of identity reaffirmation, markers of State sovereignty, instruments of dissociation, locus of a growing violence.
