June 12, 1952 - only a local sportswriter showed up at the Eau Claire airport to greet a newly signed eighteen-year-old shortstop from Alabama toting a cardboard suitcase. "I was scared as hell," said Henry Aaron, recalling his arrival as the new recruit on the city's Class C minor league baseball team. Forty-two years later, as Aaron approached the stadium where the Eau Claire Bears once played, an estimated five thousand people surrounded a newly raised bronze statue of a young "Hank" Aaron at bat. "I had goosebumps," he said later. "A lot of things happened to me in my twenty-three years as a ballplayer, but nothing touched me more than that day in Eau Claire." For the people of Eau Claire, Aaron's summer two years before his Major League debut with the Milwaukee Braves symbolizes a magical time, when baseball fans in a small city in northern Wisconsin could live a part of the dream.

Le 5 avril 1992, un « tremblement de terre » secoue l'Italie: les résultats des élections signent l'arrêt de mort de la Démocratie chrétienne au pouvoir depuis 1945. S'interroger sur ces résultats revient à s'interroger sur la percée de la Ligue du Nord qui n'est alors qu'un « objet politique non identifié ». En se proposant d'étudier le « phénomène Ligue » dans les vallées de la Bergamasca, Lynda Dematteo nourrissait l'ambition d'identifier les racines locales de l'idéologie leghista. Sans se décourager face au repli identitaire, il lui a fallu trouver des interlocuteurs autres que ceux du discrédit ou de la langue de bois. L'idiotie politique de Umberto Bossi, le leader de la Ligue, fut, pour ainsi dire, la clé de son succès : son inexpérience a séduit des citoyens désabusés, initialement étrangers aux idées autonomistes. Son comportement s'apparente, en effet, à celui du bouffon de la tradition : il ne respecte rien ni personne, pas même le pape, son irrévérence est à la mesure de l'irresponsabilité qu'on lui prête et ses attaques sont d'autant plus efficaces qu'elles visent les institutions les plus respectées. Avec lui, la pratique politique est essentiellement du spectacle. En suivant des militants, l'auteur a, peu à peu, acquis le sentiment d'être confrontée à des manifestations contre-structurelles. Faire de ce qui n'avait été qu'une « fuite par le rire », l'objet du questionnement ethnographique s'est révélé riche de perspectives. Dans la Ligue, la réalité dépasse la fiction, aussi satirique soit-elle. La position de l'auteur a donc été de prendre ce mouvement peu au sérieux mais ses manifestations parodiques tout à fait. Adoptant cette ligne ethnographique, elle a pu se prémunir contre le spectacle indépendantiste des leghisti. Créer une « Padanie » n'est en réalité qu'une vaste farce subversive de très mauvais goût et une farce d'impuissance où se joue une revanche symbolique. L'idiotie en est le ressort. On pourrait penser que les militants,…

"The northern Italian, 'Padanlan' identity, fostered by the Lega Nord, is rooted in the long-standing tradition. In political and scholarly discourse, of casting regional differences within Italy in terms of a North-South geographic divide. Trying to come to terms, in the late 1980s and 1990s, with Italy's (real or presumed) inadequacies such as inefficient government, corruption, and organized crime - the North became associated with the virtues of modernity and the South with the vices of un-modernity. It was not only politicians but also social scientists, who fostered and perpetuated this conceptualization of the North-South divide, thus imposing a normative hierarchy between the two parts of the country. The author provides a new, systematic and interdisciplinary approach that reinterprets the premises behind Italy's imagined geography or modernity."--BOOK JACKET

This text looks at the ways in which Jews, Muslims and the conflict between them has been covered in the modern media. Both Jews and Muslims generally receive a 'bad press'. This book will try to reveal why. The media have clearly played a pro-active role in the Middle East conflict, the coverage of which is obscured by the contrasting images of Jew and Muslim in western thought.
