Fine interview with noted anthropologist Hugh #Brody and his wife, actor Juliet Stevenson, on their commitment to Palestine. Brody is a Jewish son of a Holocaust survivor, who left Vienna after the Anschluss. Only her mother escaped to join her.

La chambre rouge de Wagner : quand les mercenaires russes exhibent leurs crimes sur Telegram Pendant plusieurs mois, Jeune Afrique a infiltrรฉ une chaรฎne Telegram privรฉe du groupe Wagner. Il en ressort un quotidien de torture, dโ€™exรฉcutions et de profanations de cadavres, en particulier au Mali. Des crimes de guerre racistes, documentรฉs par leurs propres auteurs pour un public ร  tendance nรฉonazie.

Insoutenable et rรฉvoltant, je ne sais mรชme pas quoi dire. Lisez

African prisoners made sound recordings in German camps in WW1: this is what they had to say African prisoners in German camps were studied by ethnographers, who recorded their voices. What they had to say is poignant and unexpected.

"In the process we hear speakers offer commentary. Senegalese prisoner Abdoulaye Niang, for example, calls Europeโ€™s battlefields an abattoir for the soldiers from Africa. Others sang of the war of the whites, or speak of other forms of colonial exploitation."

A big part of my book โ€˜Sonic Pasts: acoustical heritage and historical soundscapesโ€™ is a reflection on the concept of intangible cultural heritage in the context of the #UNESCO #ICHConvention. Here's a short thread on some of the #ICHConvention listings I analyse on sound beyond music
