Martinez, Peter Journal Article

Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract The 62nd International Astronautical Congress (IAC), held in Cape Town from 3 to 7 October 2011, was a significant milestone in the development of the African space arena. The recent emergence of a number of African countries as space actors provided fertile ground for engagement with the global space community through the medium of an IAC. A large number of space actors, in Africa and globally, coordinated their activities during the triennium 2009-2011 to build up to this historic first IAC in Africa. This paper discusses the main highlights of the congress and its immediate and potential long-term impact on the development of the African space arena.

Democratic turn in Tunisia: civic and political redefinition of canons of cultural diversity / Pouessel, Stéphanie   Article
Pouessel, Stéphanie Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The article analyzes the ways in which the term “cultural diversity” has become a hegemonic discourse for both the state and political activists in Tunisia. This process, initiated since the independence, has taken a new impetus with the end of the authoritarian regime permitted by the Tunisian revolution in 2011. The article examines the politicization of the issue of diversity in Tunisia and its inclusion in the new narratives of the nation after 2011. In order to do so, it focuses on three aspects of the neodiversity in Tunisia: the claims for the recognition of the Amazigh culture, the struggle against racial discrimination against the black population, and the renewed Africanism—or belonging to a so-called African space.
