A round-table to contextualise the recent Paris killings and their consequences.
Academic presentations followed by open debate.
Guest speaker:
Olivier Cyran (Paris-based free-lance journalist; former collaborator with Charlie-Hebdo, 1991-2001). PLEASE NOTE: O. Cyran left Charlie-Hebdo in 2001 in disagreement with its editorial line, which he considered as prejudiced against French Muslims. He will discuss the fraught place of secularism in French journalism.
Other speakers:
Jonathan Ervine (French Studies, Bangor) ‘Comedy, Controversy and Consensus in France’
Ravi Hensman (History, Manchester) ‘Blaming the Banlieues: a Suburban Perspective’
Emmanuel-Pierre Guittet (Politics, Manchester) ‘The temptation of a Patriot Act à la française… Ain’t we learnt nothing yet?’
Hatsuki Aishima (Middle Eastern Studies, Manchester) ‘Which Muslim perspective?’
Moshe Behar (Middle Eastern Studies, Manchester) ‘Thoughts on killing and the killed’
