📻 J'étais ce matin dans les Matins d'été de @franceculture.fr pour parler des ingérences étrangères en Europe, en revenant notamment sur l'affaire Xenia Fedorova et les opérations ayant ciblé plusieurs candidats déclarés à l'élection présidentielle de 2027. 1/3 www.radiofrance.fr/francecultur...
Ingérences étrangères en Europe / Prolifération des drogues de synthèse / La douceur comme acte de résistance
Aujourd'hui à 7h38, Julie Gacon reçoit Maxime Audinet, politiste spécialiste de la Russie, pour parler des ingérences étrangères auxquelles l'Europe est confrontée.
radiofrance.fr
Une chose est sûre, ces ingérences vont devenir l'un des sujets majeurs de la campagne électorale, parallèlement à l'émergence d'un consensus politique transpartisan inédit (du moins au plan rhétorique) sur la nécessité de protéger le scrutin face à ce phénomène. 2/3

African languages do not necessarily equate the colour white with what racialist assignations call "white" in European languages. While Tigrinya at times does - ts'Ada, but also ferenji - Ewe has no relation between "ĥê" (white) and "yovó" (light-skinned stranger).
Isaac Samuel@rhaplord.bsky.social · 2w agoEthnographers often assume that in Africa the colour white was interchangeable with the Western racial concept of “whiteness” But such inferences are based on an uncritical interpretation of historical data and project modern racial concepts into the past www.africanhistoryextra.com/p/the-white-...

Why is it OK to dehumanise North African migrants when similar imagery, say of Jews, would rightly provoke outrage?
