'Sans titre' cette fois
Thank you Nadia of your reaction, which gives me hope that, ultimately, all is not gone up in smoke 'on the blogopshère. I really appreciate how you try to put things in perspective and not to succumb to the demagoguery and ease. Here is a link facebook for the article in question since the blog of Nadia is unfortunately not visible in Tunisia. I never cease
Never say it and denounce it. The atmosphere on the blogosphere has become unhealthy since militants of all stripes have discovered this space, and even if I really want to pack up at times, I know I will never leave because I was there though before all these leaders of the mobs are only aware of the existence of the Internet.
Two years ago I sounded the alarm on seeing that our community 'is politicized' (in the sense of manipulation and not the commitment, because in absolute terms I see it as a good something that activists on the left or right to be part of TN-blogs). The problem is that since the prosélythisme they have been allowed, the rhetoric of virtually all bloggers and commentators all started changing, becoming more and more uniform, predictable, and especially aggressive. reflection gave way to confrontation, or bullying, and sometimes even to impute motives. We do more critically, it argues.
reactions to my penultimate post are a small example of the kind of eloquent enough damage that the blogosphere has suffered because by dint of reading the same thing every day, we end up being blind to other forms of expression. When I say that "today in Tunisia there are more constraints on freedom of expression" and explain that, in the same sentence , by what means people could get rid of these constraints to make this assertion true .. Well no! the explanation is thrown in the trash and we keep the first part of the sentence. Waylun lil musallina.
So to cut short a debate announced: yes I am very closely the politics of this country and many others. Yes I have opinions quite clear about what is good and what is bad for the country. No I'm not close to that environment, even if I learned to know him better and better understood in the context of my studies and my profession in the past. I've never been in a political rally Tunisian whether for or against the government. All my student life in Tunisia and abroad was made to work, work and work again because it was expensive and that the failure was never allowed. I have never participated in activities with political overtones in Tunisia because I do not listen to speeches outside academia. And I do not applaud it either.
Good.
Now it is true that to qualify any subject may wear my 'bad' board policy in the eyes of a number of people. That's what many of my teachers have suffered when they tried to understand, just "understand" why September 11 occurred. They refused to debate with them because they were told there was not much to analyze and it was "obvious" conflict of values between East and West democratic autocratic. I know my situation is not comparable to theirs but I understand a bit about their experiences because the notion of 'censorship' has become as sacred and as fixed as that of 'terrorism'. It is not allowed to touch or try to deconstruct it. That said I have no problem with the fact that people I 'rank', and it does not prevent me to continue to think because it's my job.
If I have an advice for bloggers is trying to step back from everything that happens. Activism is great, but only when it's done and it comes mostly self-criticism and questioning. I am part of a number of international coalitions in my research and I get to work with people from around the world without ever feeling compelled to express myself in a certain way because it is 'good' and that all others are 'bad'. This is not the case for the Tunisian blogosphere.
Good luck to all. This item has been without a title because I wanted people to read it in full, for once, 'without Judging the Book By The Cover':)

What Hairstyle Did Halle Berry Have In Catwoman
Identity Politics; or why a protest can never be 'Apolitical'
The recent protest 'against internet censorship' in Tunisia has been talked about in the media as an 'apolitical' movement, in the sense that it was held without the support of any of the mainstream opposition parties, but rather was the genuine expression of a popular demand to lift censorship which the protesters had put forth on behalf of 'all' internet users. I believe it was also the wish of the organizers, Sim and Yassine, to distance themselves from the opposition, although of course in practice they were not immune from that interference and many figures of the opposition did sign up.
The emphasis on the ‘apolitical’ character of the protest has truly puzzled me. We all know that any form of resistance, however low-key it may appear, is essentially a political response to a political situation. So, although the term 'apolitical' was perhaps used to wash away the sin vis-à-vis the the establishment, I want to argue that there actually was nothing apolitical about the sayeb salah movement.
One has to look at the demographics of the protest to understand the specific kind of politics at play here. On facebook I half-jokingly referred to this movement as the “thirties’ rebellion” (la révolte des trentenaires). But this is exactly what it is. Most protesters belong to the post-Bourguibist generation which Zied aptly describes here as one that has never fought for any cause. It might look like a harsh judgment but it is a very accurate one. Except for a few people who were engaged in Marxist or Islamist student movements on troubled campuses, most of us members of this generation, were disciplined to focus on gaining education and achieving (a state-sanctioned version of) economic welfare. And most of us did well on both fronts.
To what extent the attempt to fully 'de-politicise' my generation was successful is beyond the scope of this post, but it is a critical aspect of the overall context and timing of the protest which we must be aware of in order to understand what is going on. As I repeatedly argued in this Vcast , censorship (and, by extension, acts of resistance) must never be analysed out of context.
The politics behind this protest are what we may refer to as ‘identity politics’, because they are connected to a clearly bounded social group striving for visibility and recognition. It is not a coincidence that Slim and Yassine were offended when the first official they approached to publicise the event referred to them as “two boys” (zooz awled). This is exactly how the state views this generation, and this is exactly how this generation no longer wishes to be viewed.

Is There A Working Pokemon Heart Gold Rom Yet
Reframing the censorship debate
Although I stopped watching the islamist channel of Aljazeera a long time ago, I did follow a live forum (Al Minbar) which was aired this afternoon and considered the issue of internet censorship in Tunisia.
The show confirmed an idea which I had been reflecting on for some time now, and that is that the problem of censorship is unevenly perceived by people, even if we keep portraying it simply as a confrontation between supporters of an autocratic tradition and petitioners for freedom and democracy.
Most bloggers, not just Tunisians, see the world in black and white: on the one hand there are bad people who support censorship (and who, therefore, support and sustain authoritarian regimes), and on the other hand there are good people who reject censorship (and thus are dissidents and supporters of free speech). So the issue is persistently framed as ‘them’ the oppressors versus ‘us’ the freedom seekers.
In reality things are a lot messier and less homogeneous than this. There are many internet users in this country and elsewhere who actually support the idea of censorship whilst having very little sympathy for autocratic politics (I’m thinking for example of religious individuals who support a ban on pornographic or left-leaning websites, or leftists who call for greater monitoring of religious websites). There are also many internet users who advocate free speech whilst affirming the legitimacy of authoritarian political systems (for instance they would write petitions asking highly-ranked officials to ‘intervene’ and lift the ban on specific websites). And there are many people who use the internet on the day-to-day basis but do not care about this whole issue of censorship and do not perceive it as a problem (for example, youngsters for whom the internet literally means email and facebook, and nothing else).
I believe there is now a need to put all kinds of emotions and taken-for-granted ideas aside, and open up a productive debate which is sensible to this diversity of situations and opinions about internet censorship. Perhaps instead of acting as a silly audience for a station with a political agenda such as Aljazeera we could launch our own 'minbar' on the blogopshere and use it as an opportunity to achieve a deeper understanding of the mechanisms, stakeholders, and practical implications of internet censorship.

The unilateral modification of electronic communication contracts (dissertation)
Three employees were fired for inciting rebellion and disparagement of the company after criticizing their superiors on the wall of their Facebook page . The case is brought before the industrial tribunal de Boulogne Billancourt.
Advisors employees and advisors employers have failed to settle the question and returned last Thursday, May 20 the hearing to a tiebreaker, the latter involving the use of a professional judge. Stay tuned ...
(Incidentally, note that the three employees in question were denounced by their "friend" who forwarded a copy of remarks to the management of the company ... so beware, language Facebook "friend" does not mean "friend" !)
