" Le 14 août 1992 les forces armées du gouvernement géorgien envahissent la petite Abkhazie qui, restée fidèle à l’Union soviétique jusqu’à sa disparition, préférait désormais son indépendance à la tutelle de Tbilissi. Issus des communautés circassiennes en exil en Turquie, Bekir Ashuba, 23 ans, et ses amis du même âge décident alors de s’engager dans des milices de volontaires pour aller défendre la liberté du pays de leurs ancêtres. Les voilà désormais embarqués dans une aventure épique, où ils trouveront la joie de servir le pays de leurs ascendants déportés, l’ivresse de l’engagement fraternel, l’ardeur, la foi, et l’espérance, mais aussi, le deuil et, plus d’une fois, la déception. L’auteur livre ici très en détail ses souvenirs de guerre sur les cimes du Caucase, sans fard ni fioritures. Il ouvre les portes des chambrées où les Turcs de gauche chantent « Bella Ciao », et les Tchétchènes s’adonnent à des transes soufies ; il raconte les longues marches à flanc de colline dans la nuit, les attentes angoissées dans les fermes abandonnées, les opérations armées fulgurantes, jusqu’au triomphe militaire final, après un pèlerinage mystérieux dans une vallée féerique. Tout dans ce récit est vrai, scrupuleusement consigné, et tout viendra surprendre le regard du lecteur occidental généralement peu informé de l’histoire de ce conflit qui pèse encore lourdement sur l’équilibre géopolitique de la Mer Noire.

Man and His Surroundings is a collection of novellas that are unconnected by one plot, but which altogether constitute a piercing examination of Soviet and post-Soviet culture.

Russia's war against Ukraine is causing a humanitarian, social and economic crisis for the Ukrainian people. The consequences of this full-scale military invasion are disrupting the global supply of commodities, sharply increasing food and energy prices, and threating the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Countries with established commercial and financial ties with the economies of Russia and Ukraine appear to be particularly vulnerable. Assessing the Impact of Russia's War against Ukraine on Eastern Partner Countries investigates the exposure of Eastern Partner countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine) to the economic shocks caused by the war, and in particular through the impact that the conflict is having on inflation, migration, remittances, investment and trade. This report is published as part of the multi-country project "EU4Business: From Policies to Action - phase 2", implemented in the Eastern Partnership with the financial support of the European Union within the EU4Business initiative.

Grâce à sa position entre deux continents, la Géorgie constitue traditionnellement un pont entre l’Est et l’Ouest. Une histoire de rencontres reflète l'art, la culture et l'histoire exceptionnelles du pays, du néolithique au XVIIIe siècle. C'est notamment au cours de « l'âge d'or » de la Géorgie unifiée, entre le XIe et le XIIIe siècle, que le pays a connu un essor culturel et économique sans précédent.Cet ouvrage montre comment l'histoire mouvementée et les nombreux échanges le long des grandes routes commerciales et de la soie au carrefour de l'Europe et de l'Asie ont donné naissance à un patrimoine d'une richesse inimaginable, jusqu'à présent resté largement méconnu. Une orfèvrerie raffinée de l'âge du bronze, du vin comme bien culturel le plus ancien et des arts visuels originaux : la Géorgie offre de nombreux trésors inattendus, présentés en détail pour la première fois.Cet ouvrage est publié à l’occasion de l’exposition Géorgie : une histoire de rencontres, présentée du 27 octobre 2023 au 18 février 2024 au Musée Art et Histoire à Bruxelles, dans le cadre du festival d’art Europalia.

La vie et la musique du compositeur géorgien Giya Kancheli (1935-2019) mettent en évidence un créateur très impliqué dans son époque, tant sur le plan artistique que dans son rapport à l'Homme. De Tbilissi, sa terre natale, à Anvers, où il trouve refuge, en passant par Berlin, on découvre une oeuvre foisonnante largement enregistrée et filmée. Sa musique, d'abord pour le cinéma et le théâtre, aborde rapidement le monde de la symphonie et développe une inspiration singulière soutenue par la notion de temps long où il se révèle d'une grandeur spirituelle qui a conquis et impressionné le monde en quelques décennies, dévoilant ainsi son immense humanité.

"Poor Atlanta looks at the poor people's campaigns in Atlanta in the 1960s and 1970s, which operated in relationship to Sunbelt city- building efforts. With these efforts, city leaders aimed to prevent urban violence, staunch disinvestment, check white flight, and amplify Atlanta's importance as a business and transportation hub. As urban leaders promoted Forward Atlanta, a program to, in Mayor Ivan Allen Jr.'s words, "sell the city like a product," poor families insisted that their lives and living conditions, too, should improve. While not always operating within public awareness, antipoverty campaigns among the poor presented a regular and sometimes strident critique of inequality and Atlanta's uneven urban development. With Poor Atlanta, LeeAnn B. Lands demonstrates that, while eclipsed by the Black freedom movement, antipoverty organizing (including direct action campaigns, legal actions, lobbying, and other forms of activism) occurred with regularity from 1964 through 1976. Her analysis is one of the few citywide studies of antipoverty organizing in late twentieth-century America"--

In the turbulent global context following the fall of the Russian Empire and the October Revolution, Georgia declared its independence in 1918. Between then and the beginning of Soviet rule in 1921, an Avant-Garde creative scene burgeoned. Artists met, mainly in the many taverns and cafés in Kutaisi and the capital Tbilisi, to organise multidisciplinary events. Their frequent collaborations and interactions, which bore the imprint of Georgian tradition and Western and Eastern influences, took various forms: paintings, drawings, films, photos, performances and typographical experiments. Divergent movements such as Symbolism/Neo-Symbolism, Futurism, Dadaism, Zaum, Expressionism, Cubism and Cubo-Futurism existed side by side in unprecedented creative turbulence. This book tells the unknown story of a vibrant Avant-Garde in the Caucasus, born in the taverns of Tbilisi – artistic laboratories where anything was possible, but where Soviet censorship lurked.Extensively illustrated with works by Elene Akhvlediani, Gigo Gabashvili, Irakli Gamrekeli, Lado Gudiashvili, David Kakabadze, Petre Otskheli, Niko Pirosmanashvili, Ilia and Kirile Zdanevich, and many others.
