"It’s possible for governments to walk and chew gum at the same time." That's Human Rights Watch director Kenneth Roth’s advice to the Dutch government when it comes to pressuring other governments on human rights abuses, while at the same time promoting trade with that same country. On Thursday Mr Roth was in the Netherlands, where he met with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal and took part in a discussion at the cultural and intellectual c... - EU twenty years old, but still shaky6 February 2012, 3:44 am
The European Union has lost a lot of its lustre since the heady days of the Maastricht Treaty. Two decades later, the monetary crisis reveals deep structural faults in the agreement. “The treaty should have created a strong economic union with joint sovereignty in budgetary and fiscal authority.” Even Laurens Jan Brinkhorst, an avid EU supporter, admits that Maastricht lacked teeth. The weakness of the document is now Europe’s Achilles heel, he says, as Brussels struggles to t... - Dutch Music Monday: 6 February6 February 2012, 1:48 am

The Stars Below, 2011. Mixed media installation One thing I like about your work is the fact that you seem to operate like a hacker, taking things apart, finding new ways to misuse technology. But throughout your approach appears to be deliberately poetic, wherein you bring out these singular moments of beauty. For example, when you first started working on your scanner films during a residency at the MacDowell Colony, you mentioned that you began by simply placing a scanner outside of your ca...
En vista de la represión sistematica a investigadores en las ciencias sociales, así como a activistas, nos sumamos a esta carta abierta.
A LAS AUTORIDADES POLÍTICAS Y JUDICIALES DEL PAÍS
A LA COMUNIDAD UNIVERSITARIA
A LA OPINIÓN PÚBLICA
Los profesores investigadores e investigadoras de la Unidad de Ciencias Sociales del Centro de Investigaciones Regionales “Dr. Hideyo Noguchi” de la Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán condena enérgicamente el brutal asesinato del Dr. Manuel Arroyo Galván, catedrático del Instituto de Ciencias Sociales y Administración de la Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez (UACJ), perpetrado el viernes 29 de mayo del año en curso.
Este homicidio se agrega al de varios profesores universitarios del ámbito de las ciencias sociales en los últimos meses, entre ellos, el asesinato del maestro de sicología Gerardo González Guerrero del mismo instituto de la UACJ, en diciembre de 2008, la muerte aún no aclarada del Dr. Miguel Ángel Gutiérrez Ávila de la Universidad Autónoma de Guerrero e integrante del proyecto de investigación de la Red Mexicana de Instituciones de Formación de Antropólogos, en julio de 2008, así como el asesinato del doctor Conrado Hernández López del Centro de Estudios Históricos de El Colegio de Michoacán, en marzo de 2008.
Hacemos un llamado a las autoridades judiciales para que esclarezcan estos crímenes, atendiendo de manera especial su posible relación con las actividades sociales y políticas de las víctimas, y para que detengan y procesen a sus autores materiales e intelectuales. Asimismo hacemos un llamado a las autoridades políticas de todos los niveles de gobierno para que contengan la ola de violencia criminal que día con día cuesta la vida de decenas de ciudadanos en todo el país y re-establezcan de manera inmediata el estado de derecho vulnerado constantemente por dichos crímenes.
