Jusqu'ici tout va bien...

Cette photo a été prise par Denis Darzacq, photographe français, dans le cadre de sa série "La Chute." Darzacq a photographié à Paris des danseurs de Breakdance et de Capoeira "en plein vol." Son travail lui a permis de gagner le 1er prix "stories" du World Press Photo 2007, dans la catégorie Arts & Entertainment.
Le World Press Photo est actuellement présenté au Musée Juste Pour Rire, et ce jusqu'au 30 septembre. C'est 5$ pour les étudiants, 9$ pour les autres, et ça vaut vraiment le coup.

Naomi Klein

Yesterday night Naomi Klein spoke at Concordia. She was there to promote her new book, The Shock Doctrine. I like listening to her (it was the second time, the first being at El Salon, for the launching of The Take in Montreal,) she's so clear and effective.
Klein comes from an intellectual leftist family, she was born and raised among daily debates and arguments and among what could be called an education contestation. After all the ideas of the left are so under-represented in North America that they look like an underground current. After three years spent in Canada I wonder if being a North American educated Socialist is a realistic combination of words.
I also wonder how many years of education I would have saved if I had had the same background. No offense, I'm fine with my background!
Growing up the social ladder is a 20th century invention.

As for the book I really would have like to get a signed copy but I'm a student and this is September. In other words, I'll wait for it to be available at the library!
