Literary readings will be interspersed during this discussion. Moderator: Gabriel Schembri. Panelists: Irene Chias, Murad Shubert, and Stephen Lughermo. https://lnkd.in/eAm6QVzv

💡 Apartheid Israel’s October 7th Narratives w/ Max Blumenthal | Jadaliyya💡 Description: Israel’s October 7th Narratives - Max Blumenthal in conversation with Bassam Haddad Sunday, 6 October 2024, 2:30 PM EST, 9:30 PM Gaza A sit-down conversation with Max Blumenthal on Apartheid Israel’s October 7th narratives that adorned mainstream U.S. media absent the application of any journalistic standards. Retractions often took place (e.g., “beheaded babies), but only when Apartheid Israel issued them, deep into the perpetration of its Genocide in Gaza. How were such narratives/hoaxes spread/perpetuated? How were they debunked by investigative journalism? Why do patently debunked hoaxes linger? The editor-in-chief of The Grayzone, Max Blumenthal is an award-winning journalist and the author of several books, including best-selling Republican Gomorrah, Goliath, The Fifty One Day War, and The Management of Savagery. He has produced print articles for an array of publications, many video reports, and several documentaries, including Killing Gaza. His latest documentary is "Atrocity Inc: How Israel Sells Its Destruction of Gaza." #WARonHUMANITY #anarchy #anarchism #freedom #socialism #multilateralism #multipolarity #diplomacy #usa #israel #apartheidisrael #palestine #lebanon #iran #russia #syria ___ We are all on a collective journey towards Decolonization, De-Globalization, and the dissolvement of all forms of capitalized state wealth consolidation { individual and collective corruption }. Thus the necessity of shifting towards #BRICS Multipolarity and Multilateralism, and actively shifting away from Collective Western Hegemony.

In this week's #wizreadswednesdays, we bring you a discussion on reparation from the British museum. The museum is facing criticism for its failure to address issues of repatriation and its lack of transparency. Should it decolonize its collection and return cultural objects to their countries of origin? Read this medium difficulty article and answer the easy inference question that follows. Explanations will be posted tomorrow. https://lnkd.in/gi4bGijR It can be inferred from the article that the British Museum Act of 1963 A. severely limits deaccessioning, making repatriation difficult. B. allows conditional return of objects of low cultural significance. C. grants trustees broad powers over object disposal, now under scrutiny. D. mandated a restitution committee to investigate and facilitate repatriation. E. establishes universal ownership of cultural heritage, regardless of origin. #gmat #gmatprep #gmatpreparation #readingcomprehension #gmatverbal #gmatrc #wizreads #wizreadswednesdays #wizako

🆕 The Routledge Companion to Global Renaissance Art (available in Open Access) 🎨 This companion, edited by Stephen J. Campbell and Stephanie Porras, examines the global Renaissance through object-based case studies of artistic production from Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Europe in the early modern period. 👉🏻My essay in the publication discusses the production, sale, and transport procedure of Netherlandish carved altarpieces in the early sixteenth century, by closely studying the Antwerp altarpiece in Botkyrka as a case-study.   👉 https://lnkd.in/etprVWd6

Only by not forgetting the past can we be the master of the future. Ba Jin The work of prolific Chinese writer Ba Jin often took the form of social commentary. His most famous novel, “Jia,” criticized the traditional Chinese family system. His work labeled him a counterrevolutionary during the country’s Cultural Revolution in the 1960s, and he was ostracized from society. In the early 2000s, Ba Jin called for the creation of an official Cultural Revolution museum to document the impact of the era, believing this would prevent China from repeating past mistakes. (Though a museum did open in 2005, it was covered up by the Chinese authorities less than a decade later.) With this quote, Ba Jin points out that no experience exists in a vacuum. By reflecting on where we’ve been, we can chart the course ahead to steer us in a better direction
