Screenshot Inspiračního fóra"As women in war, we are tired of being strong," say civilians from Gaza and Sudan, Fatma Mohamed and Ruwaida Kamal Amer (recording of the debate in English)Today's wars aren't just fought between armies on battlefields—they hit civilians the hardest. Women, in particular, bear the greatest burden, having to navigate daily survival while caring for their families, their communities, and themselves amid constant threats. What does it mean to live through a war with no clear end in sight? And why do we so rarely hear the voices of those who endure it?You’ll have the chance to listen to powerful personal testimonies from journalist, producer, and filmmaker Ruwaida Kamal Amer from Gaza, and human rights defender Fatma Mohamed from Sudan.

Zejména na ženy, které nesou tíhu každodenního přežívání, starají se o rodiny, komunity i samy o sebe uprostřed neustálého ohrožení. Co znamená žít ve válce, která nemá jasně viditelný konec?

Keen On AmericaEpisode 2051: Mohamed Amer Meziane offers an ecological and racial history of seculizationOne of Bethanne Patrick’s recommended books for April was Mohamed Amer Meziane’s The States of the Earth. It sounded intriguing, if not entirely coherent, and so I invited Meziane on the show. Even now, I’m not sure I exactly get Meziane’s point. He seems to be saying that secularization is not only behind western racial colonialism but also the destruction of the land. It’s a provocative thesis, nonetheless, and Meziane, who teaches at Brown University, makes it with a flourish of rich historical anecdotes. Mohamed Amer Meziane is...2024-05-0237 min

How the disenchantment of empire led to climate change
While industrial states competed to colonize Asia and Africa in the nineteenth century, conversion to Christianity was replaced by a civilizing mission. This new secular impetus strode hand in hand with racial capitalism in the age of empires: a terrestrial paradise was to be achieved through accumulation and the ravaging of nature.
Far from a defence...2024-05-0156 min

CERILes contestations écologistes: entre radicalité et spiritualitéTable ronde du 18/04/2023 organisée par Nadia Marzouki et Mohamed Amer Meziane
Face à l’ampleur du développement de la radicalité militante écologiste, les militants et militantes de ces mouvements ont souvent été comparés à des terroristes, djihadistes ou anarchistes. Par-delà leur marginalité apparente, quelles représentations expriment ces comparaisons ? Peut-on y lire l'expression d'un lien encore peu travaillé entre écologie, post-colonialité et politisation de la religion dans l'espace public ? Comment analyser les formes spirituelles actuelles de la contestation écologiste ? Se pourrait-il qu'elles troublent ce partage lui-même et notre conception conventionnelle des frontières de la politique ? Dans quelle mesure la crise clim...2023-04-182h 17

Mais que nous révèle l’analyse comparée des effets du colonialisme de peuplement en Amérique et du Nord et en Afrique du Nord ? Permet-elle de mieux comprendre les usages et mésusages de la notion de colonialisme qui prévaut ici et de dépasser ses usages métaphoriques?

Or c’est sur ces principes, établis lors de l’expansion coloniale française, que l’islam a été mythifiée comme étant incompatible avec le consensus culturel national.Comment la sécularisation de la France a-t-elle permis d’asseoir l’Empire colonial français ?
