Le Festival des Artistes, Ecrivains Voyageurs de la Plagne 2008 comme si vous y �tiez!! (in French, sorry)
Thursday. 8.21.08 5:06 pm
Bonjour tout le monde,


J'�tais pr�sente en tant qu'auteur au Festival des Artistes, Ecrivains Voyageurs de La Plagne, qui s'est tenu du 10 au 13 ao�t 2008.


L'action de mon livre jeunesse Red Jim, paru chez Tartamudo, se passe en Angleterre: �tant aussi bilingue fran�ais-anglais, il constitue en lui-m�me une invitation au voyage, le th�me du Festival depuis 6 ans.


Cette ann�e et depuis 2 ans, les carnettistes bourlingueurs ont �t� rejoints par des auteurs et dessinateurs de bandes dessin�es et de livres jeunesse, dont les oeuvres traitent aussi du voyage, ou sont en connection avec l'ailleurs.


Le Festival a �t� pr�sid� cette ann�e par le grand Jos� Mu�oz, le dessinateur de BD argentin de renomm�e internationale, c�l�bre pour le personnage d' Alack Sinner avec son complice sc�nariste Carlos Sampayo. L'invit� d'honneur cette ann�e �tait Jacques Ferrandez, pour son dernier album "Cuba, P�re et Fils"; Jacques Ferrandez sera par ailleurs le pr�sident du Festival de la Plagne l'ann�e prochaine.
Un autre invit� mis � l'honneur �tait Maurice Rajsfus, pour son ouvrage Moussa et David en bandes dessin�es, qui traite du conflit isra�lo-palestinien � travers les yeux de deux enfants, l'un palestinien et l'autre isra�lien. Rescap� de la rafle du Vel d'Hiv, historien et auteur de nombreux livres, "Moussa et David" (paru chez Tartamudo), est la premi�re exp�rience BD de Maurice.


Parmi les �diteurs BD et jeunesse pr�sents, on citera Tartamudo, Mosquito, Des Ronds dans l'O, 6 Pieds sous Terre... Parmi les auteurs, carnettistes et r�alisateurs, Jos� Jover, Marc Large, Vink et Cine, Troub's, Elodie Studler, Vincent de Raeve, Xavier P�ron, No�lle le Guillozic, Roland Monpierre, Pat Masioni... Je ne peux malheureusement pas citer tout le monde, mes excuses aux gens de grand talent que j'ai oubli�s.

L'exp�rience du festival a �t�, de mon point de vue, plaisante et agr�able: entre les ballades sur le glacier , les paysages magnifiques ( avec vue imprenable sur le Mont Blanc!!), l'air tellement pur de la montagne qu'il fait presque mal d'�tre respir� et l'exploration gastronomique de sp�cialit�s savoyardes en tous genres le soir au restaurant dans une ambiance chaleureuse et conviviale, j'ai eu l'occasion de rencontrer des gens de tous horizons parmi les artistes et auteurs invit�s. J'ai pu aussi d�dicacer mon livre, discuter et interagir avec des lecteurs potentiels, dans le cadre du salon. Le public, pour la plupart des vacanciers, �tait relax et d�tendu.

J'ai pu aussi remplir mon carnet de croquis avec des b�tises et des �neries sans aucun rapport avec les montagnes environnantes; un rapide apercu:


Saurez-vous reconnaitre les personalit�s visible ci-dessous?


Le festival a �t� aussi le th�atre de rencontres musicales avec Mat Valens:



et le groupe de jazz gypsy, "Les Caravanes Vagabondes".


Juste un rappel: j'ai toujours des copies de "Red Jim" disponibles; les modalit�s sont visible ci-dessous.

Vous pouvez maintenant commander le livre "Red Jim" directement chez son auteur!! J'ai en effet un nombre limit� de copies en ma possession: l'int�r�t et le bonus de commander le livre directement chez moi, r�side dans le fait que vous pouvez l'obtenir d�dicac�/sign� selon vos propres sp�cifications. Le livre est vendu � son prix normal (12 Euros ou 9 livres Sterling), les frais de port y �tant ajout�: notez bien que j'aurai besoin de savoir o� va le livre pour calculer les frais d'envoi. "Red Jim" est livr� partout dans le monde et j'accepte le paiement pr�f�rablement par Paypal (notez que Paypal accepte aussi les paiements par cartes de credit); pour toute autre forme de paiement, s'il vous plait, parlez-en avec moi au pr�alable. Ne ratez pas cette opportunit�: contactez-moi, si vous �tes int�ress�, � l'adresse suivante:
[email protected]

ou faites-vous connaitre d'abord ici si vous le souhaitez

Encore un grand merci pour les organisateurs et les b�n�voles du Festival pour leur accueil chaleureux.

George Orwell's Diaries
Thursday. 8.14.08 7:20 pm
George Orwell's Diaries


The Orwell Prize, Britain's pre-eminent prize for political writing, is publishing George Orwell's diaries as a blog. From 9th August 2008, Orwell's domestic and political diaries (from 9th August 1938 until October 1942) will be posted in real-time, exactly 70 years after the entries were written.
Orwell's diaries begin on 9th August 1938/2008; his 'political' diaries (which are further categorised as 'Morocco,' 'Pre-war' and 'Wartime') begin on 7th September 1938/2008. The diaries are exactly as Orwell wrote them.

Anti-Bush Graffiti: 25 Countries, Six Continents

Anti-Bush Graffiti: 25 Countries, Six Continents
/>Date: Jul 30, 2008 4:31 PM

Written by Laura Copeland

Barack Obama recently made headlines with his eight-day tour of Europe and the Middle East.

Many analysts here and abroad agree it was a smart political move for the U.S.
presidential nominee, but some argue it was just a drop in a substantial bucket of goodwill needed to improve international relations with America. As President George W. Bush nears the end of a mostly disastrous eight-year term, he too should be given credit for public appearances overseas.Traveling by air � er, compressed air, that is � and landing on everything from brick walls to telephone poles to the doors of trash chutes, Bush boasts a presence in just about every last nook in the world.

Curitiba, Brazil

Unlike Bush�s approval rating, attendance at Disney theme parks doesn�t seem to have taken a hit in America�s worsening economy.

Faded from foot traffic, the sidewalk mugshot reads: Wanted Dead: George W. Bush, for crimes against humanity and the planet.

Berlin, Germany

Bush faces off with Osama bin Laden outside a record store in Berlin.

War is terror, the caption reads.

Senator Obama�s tour included a stop in Berlin, where he gave a speech to a crowd of more than 200,000.

American blogger Fred Wilson responds: �This kind of worldwide popularity is something we need in the US right now.

Colonia, Uruguay

This makeshift banner welcomed Bush to Uruguay in March of 2007, when Bush met with President Tabar� Vasquez.

Translated, the greeting reads: Your dead, hungry, unemployed, disappeared [illegally imprisoned], lying cronies salute you.

Give Bush an inch, and he�ll bomb a country, one stencil remarks.

Bush�s critics argue he never should have sent troops to battle without Congressional approval. Legally, the power to declare war lies in the hands of the Congress, not the President.

Flanked by missiles, could Bush be folding his hands in prayer?

Rosario, Argentina

Joyfully riding a missile � gut protruding, cowboy hat waving � Bush�s embodiment of Texan stereotypes is as much the subject of this artist�s mockery as the President�s flippant attitude toward explosives.

Victoria, BC, Canada

On a brick wall in Victoria, British Columbia, Bush discusses world domination with Canadian Prime Minister Steven Harper.

(The dialogue references a mid-90s animated television show, Animaniacs, which began airing in Canada late last year.

)

What are we going to do tonight, George?
What we do every night, Steve. Try to take over the world.

Bush mzushi, loosely translated: Bush is a rumormonger.

As voters and the media shift their attention toward the November elections, Bush�s reign as one of the most widely loathed political leaders comes to a close.

With fewer than a hundred days before a successor is named, here�s to hoping that displays like these will stop appearing � and won�t reemerge with the likeness of Senator John McCain.
