Kurt Gerron - Gefangen im Paradies

Vorfilm:
heimkehr. wien 1941/1996
institut für evidenzwissenschaft, A 1996, 5 min.

Found Footage aus dem nationalsozialistischen Propagandafilm “Heimkehr”, 1941 von der Wien-Film produziert, mit dem berühmten Paula Wessely-Nazimonolog. Der Film zeigt Täter, die sich als Opfer inszenieren, und Völkermörder, die zu Märtyrern werden.


Hauptfilm:
Kurt Gerron - Gefangen im Paradies
Malcolm Clarke und Stuart Sender, 2002, 95 min.

Der Film zeichnet die Geschichte des jüdischen Schauspielers, Regisseurs und Kabarettisten Kurt Gerron nach. Gerron wurde – selbst im KZ Theresienstadt inhaftiert – auf Befehl von Joseph Goebbels gezwungen, einen Propagandafilm über Theresienstadt zu drehen. Das KZ sollte als unbeschwerter Hort erscheinen, in dem Juden friedlich und unbehelligt zusammenleben. Die Kulisse war bizarr: Mitten im NS-Terror wurde ein Postamt nachgebaut; ein großes Festessen oder ein Fußballspiel sollten die liberale Gesinnung des Führers belegen. Die mitwirkenden KZ-Insassen sollten nicht der NS-Rassenlehre entsprechen, auch das ein Ablenkungs-manöver. Der Film durfte niemals im nationalsozialistischen Deutschland zur Aufführung gelangen, er war ausschließlich zur Sichtung für die Alliierten gedacht. Der Film zeigt den Gewissenskonflikt, in den Gerron, aber auch seine Mitwirkenden gerieten. Familienmitglieder und Mitgefangene von Gerron setzen sich mit dieser Frage auseinander. Darunter der Gitarrist Coco Schumann, Susanne Thaler, die zusammen mit ihrer Mutter Camilla Spira und Gerron aus Amsterdam verschleppt wurde, die Wiener Schauspielerin Silvia Grohs, die Auschwitz überlebte, Maurice Rossel, Beauftragter des Roten Kreuzes, der Theresienstadt besichtigte und Ivan Fric, der Kamera-mann, Cutter und Tonmeister von Gerrons Film, der als einziger Nichtjude am Projekt beteiligt war. Kurt Gerron fügte sich, doch noch bevor er den Film fertigstellen konnte, wurde er nach Auschwitz überstellt und ermordet. Von dem Propagandafilm selbst, ”Theresienstadt. Ein Dokumentarfilm aus dem jüdischen Siedlungsgebiet“, dessen Titel man lange Zeit für „Der Führer schenkt den Juden eine Stadt“ hielt, ist heute nur noch ein 15minütiges Fragment übrig.

Ethnic Conflict and Economic Liberalization

Brown Bag Lunch
International Security Brown Bag

The Onset of Ethnic Conflict and Economic Liberalization: Selective Incentives, Political Entrepreneurs and Mobilizational Resources
Nikolaos Biziouras, Research Fellow

Since 1989, there has been a continuing increase in the levels of economic liberalization and an explosion of inter-ethnic, intra-state conflict. For many scholars, this increased level of economic liberalization leads to an externally-derived, unavoidable redistribution of resources, thus increasing not only inter- but also intra-state inequality. Such a rise in intra-state inequality drastically increases the propensity for ethnic conflict.

Using large-N quantitative methods, economics-based scholars, who stress the causal links between factoral models of trade integration and occurrences of state disintegration in multiethnic states, have argued that economic liberalization leads to ethnic conflict because it induces the mobilization of the ethnic groups that can be better off by seceding. Alternatively scholars, who stress domestic-level explanations, have argued that economic liberalization leads to state shrinking, especially of social safety net policies, thus inducing mobilization along ethnic lines and ultimately conflict. Yet, both approaches stipulate that economic liberalization, with its increases in inter- and intra-state inequalities, is positively and linearly linked to ethnic conflict.  The empirical record for this conventional wisdom is, however, often spotty and subject to methodological biases, especially in their measurement of economic liberalization.

Utilizing a unique dataset of ethnic conflict cases, quantitative techniques, and case study evidence from Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Bulgaria, and Ethiopia, the seminar presenter will argue that changes in the level of economic liberalization are non-linearly related to the onset of ethnic conflict.

Please join us! Coffee and tea provided.

Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come – first served basis.

Open to the public.

Brazilian Journalist & Film Director Dorrit Harazim

Meet the Braz Family: Film & Discussion with Dorrit Harazim

Meet the Braz Family: A Documentary Film from Brazil Screening and Discussion with Brazilian Journalist and Film Director Dorrit Harazim

*Talk is in English and film in Portuguese with English subtitles*

"A Família Braz" (Meet the Braz Family)
Almost six million people live in the shadows of São Paulo, including Dona Maria, Seu Toninho, & their 4 sons and daughters. Through the lens of this family's experience, the film explores life for lower-middle class families struggling to survive in the outskirts of the megalopolis. It brings to light key contemporary issues affecting the Brazilian populace including social segregation, crime, racism, and the marked inequity in wealth and opportunity, giving a voice to this otherwise invisible part of Brazil.

Dorrit Harazim is a prize-winning Brazilian journalist and film-maker, and has covered international affairs over the last 30 years. She was the first woman journalist in Latin America to cover the Vietnam War on site, as she did the military coup in Chile, the Persian Gulf oil crisis, and four U.S. elections. She continues to carry out investigative journalism - her current project being an investigation of the situation of Brazilian migrants in the Boston area, which will appear in June. In recent years, she has dedicated herself to directing and producing films, including the documentary films that are being shown at Harvard and MIT this spring.

Acte d'Homenatge a Manuel Sacristán

Dijous 5 de maig de 2005, a les 12 hores

Intervindran:Alfons Barcelò, Juan Ramón Capella, Àngels Martínez Castells, Joaquim Sempere i Enric Tello.Presidirà l'acte el degà de la Facultat, Antoni Alegre.


Qui va ser MANUEL SACRISTÁN (1925-1985)

Intel·lectual d’una formació filosòfica i científica inhabitual al nostre país, i més encara sota la dictadura.

Compromès políticament amb la causa dels oprimits: la seva militància li va costar ser víctima de la repressió franquista i sacrificar la seva vida acadèmica.

Pensador marxista heterodox, obert a les problemàtiques de l’ecologisme, el feminisme i el pacifisme.


Els seus mèrits sobresortints en aquests terrenys li van merèixer l’admiració i el respecte generals, encara que li fos discutit el reconeixement institucional un cop recuperades les llibertats polítiques. La seva obra escrita no és extensa degut a les circumstàncies difícils que li va tocar viure, però és d’un gran valor en l’actual context intel•lectual i polític mereix ser coneguda .

Reunió urgent de recolçament als Sense Papers

REUNIÓ PER A LA FUNDACIÓ D'UN COL.LECTIU DE SUPORT ALS SENSE PAPERS

A la darrera reunió d'organització es va proposar la realització d'un dejuni col.lectiu al llarg del proper cap de setmana (de tancamanent del procés de regularització). Es preveu que es dugui a terme en un espai emblemàtic o central de la ciutat, a banda de requerir voluntaris per fer el dejuni, caldria pensar en activitats al voltant de l'acció que atregui gent, mitjans de comunicació i en general el suport de la ciutadania: actuacions musicals, conferències, a la "visita" de personatges populars (actors, actius, cantants...), etc. Si creieu que la vostra entitat, associació pot aportar idees, contactes i, sobretot, activitats, es molt important que asistiu a la trobada amb propostes concretes.

Si creieu imprescindible que els immigrants sense papers accedeixin a la regularitat a fi que puguin viure amb dignitat i llibertat, que la criminalització que s'ha fet de la lluita dels immigrants sense papers no és legítima i que el dret a lluitar pels dret no pot qüestionar-se, us convidem a particpar.

Cine Pobre en Kalaska "The Weather Underground"

Historia de las facciones armadas del movimiento estudiantil estadounidense contra la guerra de Vietnam. El documental desmenuza el convulso escenario de finales de los sesenta y principios de los setenta. Bajo el telón de fondo de la picadora de carne de Indochina, en la otra esquina del tablero -el corazón de la bestia-, las almas desafectas plantan cara a los "pigs".

Se levanta acta de una época y de unos grupos a medio camino entre la contracultura, la coherencia y la acción directa, con su dosis de estrambote e infiltración policial masiva. La galería incluye los celebérrimos "días de furia" de los Weathermen en Chicago, la guerrilla de la comunicación de los Yippies (con sus míticos happenings), el movimiento de liberación de las Panteras Negras, el situacionismo de los Motherfuckers o las divagaciones del Ejército de Liberación Simbiótico. La banda sonora corre a cargo del FBI y su plan de contrainsurgencia COINTELPRO, puesto en marcha en pleno suelo de los Estados Unidos y siniestro preludio de lo que vendría después en el patio trasero.
