ActiveStills
Activestills collective was established in 2005 by a group of documentary photographers out of a strong conviction that photography is a vehicle for social and political change. We believe in the power of images to shape public attitudes and raise awareness on issues that are generally absent from public discourse. We view ourselves as part of the struggle against all forms of oppression, racism, and violations of the basic right to freedom.
The collective – that members Israeli, Palestinian and international photographers - operates in Palestine/Israel and focuses on social and political documentation, publications, and exhibitions. We work on various topics including: the Palestinian popular struggle against the Israeli occupation, rights of women, LGTBQ, migrants and asylum-seekers, public housing, and other forms of economic oppression.
Israeli public opinion is shaped first and foremost by the mainstream media that is becoming more racist and inciting. The impact of this process is evident in increased public support for violent military operations, racist legislation, and discriminatory policies. We wish to challenge this state of affairs by producing work that exposes inequality and conveys messages that contest oppression and brings the voices and images of those who are invisible and unheard into the public discourse.
Our collective is based upon the belief that mutual work serves each photographer’s personal expression, and that joint projects create powerful shared statements. We believe that the photos we take belong to those whose struggles are documented, and thus we share our archive with different activist groups. Our photos are often exhibited by local communities at events, conferences, demonstrations, and court hearings. Our images are frequently published in alternative and leading media as well as by human rights, development, and advocacy agencies.
In solidarity with the Palestinian people’s struggle for their inalienable rights, Activestills calls for: The end of Israel’s ongoing illegal occupation and colonization of Palestinian and Syrian territory, and the removal of the Israeli separation wall; The end of institutionalized discrimination against non-Jewish citizens of Israel, and respect for the human rights of all, regardless of ethnicity; Recognition and implementation of the rights of Palestinian refugees according to UN Resolution 194, including the right of return; Prosecution of those responsible for war crimes.

Comment Google, Facebook et Microsoft privatisent les océans - Le Temps
L es géants américains multiplient les projets de câbles sous-marins
« Si personne ne le fait, autant tout décider nous-mêmes et investir au mieux nos milliards ». Voilà ce que doivent se dire les dirigeants de Facebook, Google et Microsoft en contemplant le globe terrestre. La semaine passée, Google et Facebook ont annoncé leur intention de déployer un câble sous-marin long de 12’800 kilomètres entre Los Angeles et Hong Kong.
Ce sera l’un des câbles doté de la plus grande capacité, avec 120 térabits par seconde, permettant par exemple 80 millions de vidéo-conférences en haute définition entre des correspondants situés des deux côtés du #Pacifique. La mise en service est prévue pour 2018 et le budget n’est pas connu....

In a Postfact World, German Journalists Welcome a Trove of Migration Dat a | Open Society Foundations (OSF)
Journalists have a difficult job. Increasingly, they’re being asked to produce a high volume of content in a shrinking amount of time, preventing them from digging deeply into complex issues like migration. Despite this, in Germany, one of the countries hosting the most migrants entering Europe, the media has performed respectably—even tabloids have largely maintained a fact-based approach to their coverage. This bucks the trend we’ve seen in other European countries. Our organization, Mediendienst-Integration [site in German], is working hard to ensure the German media keeps their standards high.
Mediendienst-Integration launched in 2012 when an association of academics, Rat für Migration (Council for Migration), saw a need for fact-based information on migration in Germany. The association decided to initiate a media service organization to provide facts, figures, and science-based information on the topic of migration and integration for the German media.
Our aim is to facilitate journalists’ work by providing them with information they can readily use. We compile data from scientific research, surveys, polls, and quantitative analyses. Any facts and figures relevant to issues related to migration—refugees, asylum, xenophobia, discrimination—fall under the umbrella of data we aim to collect. We also provide critical analysis of statistics, helping journalists decipher the data. This is a crucial part of our job: facts and figures can easily be misinterpreted, especially if one fails to contextualize them. We also publish fact-checks, our own research and interviews, commentary, and scientific overviews that are provided by academics and other experts.
For instance, using our website, a journalist writing an article on citizenship can access a database of verified facts and figures, and search for the specific information they’re seeking—say, the number of citizenship applications received by Germany last year. If they would like to supplement their research with an interview, they can contact us through the website and we will provide them with a list of experts. We also organize press tours and roundtables on migration issues in several locations around Germany, offering journalists face-to-face interaction with various experts, academics, and NGO workers.
Our work has had a noticeable impact on the media discourse in Germany. We’ve seen a steady rise in the number of journalists accessing our online content and submitting queries. We’ve also witnessed the impact in qualitative terms: Mediendienst-Integration has become a household name for broadcast news producers and newspaper editors, both of whom contact us regularly and make repeated use of the experts we’ve made available.
Right-wing populists have coined the term lügenpresse, or “lying media,” as a derogatory term for fact-based journalism. They frequently accuse the media of hiding or misrepresenting the truth. The recent political successes of right-wing populists in Germany underline the importance of communicating academic findings, facts, and alternative points of views to the public through media outlets.
Furthermore, migration, and the political decision making around it, is an international—and especially European—phenomenon. The questions debated in Germany are also discussed in our neighboring countries. With this in mind, we believe it is essential to network and exchange information with non-German organizations that take a similar approach. With populism rising across Europe, having an open, informed, and fact-based public and media discourse, especially about migration, is more important than ever.

Cambodge : une nation traumatisée | ARTE Info
Au #Cambodge, le procès de Duch, directeur du centre de torture S-21, a ravivé une mémoire que beaucoup avaient dissimulée au plus profond de leur conscience.
Une étude récente révèle ainsi que près d’un tiers des Cambodgiens souffrent encore d’un syndrome de stress post traumatique. Quarante ans après la chute des Khmers Rouges, la nation toute entière reste marquée par le régime de Pol Pot.
La #reconstruction_psychologique des victimes a longtemps été négligée, au nom de la réconciliation nationale et du développement économique. Aujourd’hui, des initiatives locales et internationales commencent à prendre en compte les séquelles du traumatisme subi par la population.
A l’hôpital de #Phnom_Penh, le service psychiatrique voit défiler jusqu’à 400 personnes par jour. Une ONG dédiée au traumatisme de la guerre organise des thérapies de groupe. Dans son cabinet privé, un psychiatre initie ses patients à une psychanalyse teintée de bouddhisme.
La reconstruction psychologique du pays est une tâche immense, et d’autant plus cruciale que le traumatisme se transmet de génération en génération. Violences conjugales et familiales, enfants en souffrance : l’impact psychologique du régime de #Pol_Pot a des conséquences directes sur le malaise social du Cambodge contemporain.

Non sempre l’algoritmo di Amazon fa risparmiare - Joon Ian Wong - Internazionale

Non sempre l’algoritmo di Amazon fa risparmiare
Joon Ian Wong, Quartz, Stati Uniti
Gli algoritmi di Amazon fanno sì che i clienti spendano molto più di quanto dovrebbero per alcuni prodotti, promuovendo quelli da cui l’azienda trae vantaggi. È quanto emerge da un’inchiesta pubblicata il 20 settembre dall’organizzazione giornalistica non profit ProPublica.
Amazon non ha mai rivelato il criterio con cui i suoi algoritmi selezionano i prodotti di alcuni commercianti, o quelli che vende direttamente, in modo da essere suggeriti nella buy box, l’area della pagina in cui i clienti aggiungono un prodotto al carrello.
Per fare luce sul suo funzionamento, ProPublica ha simulato gli acquisti su Amazon di un cliente di Brooklyn, New York, non iscritto al servizio Prime. Ha usato un software per scandagliare per qualche settimana gli elenchi di Amazon di 250 prodotti piuttosto popolari, dagli elettrodomestici agli articoli per la casa. Ed ecco cosa ha scoperto.
Comprando tutto quello che Amazon consigliava nella buy box, un cliente avrebbe speso il 20 per cento in più che se avesse acquistato gli stessi prodotti al prezzo più basso disponibile sulla piattaforma. Questo si traduce in una spesa per il carrello di 1.400 dollari in più (1.243 euro). Secondo un commento di Amazon e ProPublica, è probabile che il cliente abbia acquistato gli articoli singolarmente e sia stato attento a non superare la soglia dei 49 dollari (43 euro, 19 euro in Italia) che dà diritto alla spedizione gratuita.
La differenza media tra il prodotto raccomandato e quello più economico era di 7,88 dollari (6,99 euro).
Quasi tutti i venditori nella buy box che non avevano la voce più economica tra quelle elencate erano Amazon o venditori che usano la logistica di Amazon. I commercianti indipendenti erano solo il 6 per cento.
Amazon non include il criterio dei costi di spedizione per i suoi prodotti o per quelli di cui gestisce la logistica per conto di altri quando chiede ai clienti di valutare il prodotto in base a “prezzo e spedizione”. Questo permette ad Amazon di ottenere un’ottima posizione in classifica nell’80 per cento dei casi. Secondo ProPublica, le valutazioni sono corrette per gli abbonati al servizio Prime e per quelli che hanno diritto alla spedizione gratuita.
Un processo misterioso
Amazon ha dichiarato: “Con Prime e con l’opzione di spedizione Super saver (che si limita agli Stati Uniti), la maggior parte dei nostri articoli ordinati – nove su dieci – può essere spedita gratis. Gli algoritmi di smistamento a cui fa riferimento l’articolo di ProPublica sono progettati per il 90 per cento degli articoli ordinati, per i quali non valgono i costi di spedizione”.
Secondo quanto affermato da Amazon, il prezzo non è l’unico criterio per conquistare la buy box. “Il prezzo è solo uno degli aspetti nell’essere al servizio dei clienti”, afferma Amazon in una dichiarazione a ProPublica, che ha reso disponibili i dati ricavati dall’esperimento.
Amazon offre spiegazioni vaghe sul perché un prodotto è mostrato nella buy box. Nelle informazioni disponibili sul sito, “i venditori devono avere alcuni requisiti basati sulla prestazione per poter competere per una posizione nella buy box”. Nella stessa nota si legge: “Per molti venditori, un posizionamento nella buy box può determinare un aumento delle vendite”.
Il mistero della buy box ha serie ripercussioni per i commercianti indipendenti. L’obiettivo di ottenere un posizionamento migliore ha spinto i venditori a incaricare Amazon di occuparsi degli ordini pagando in tra il 10 per cento e il 20 per cento del ricavato sulle vendite. Perfino essere “consegnati da Amazon” e offrire prezzi più bassi non garantisce una posizione nella buy box.
È quanto ha scoperto ProPublica a proposito di un commerciante: “Amazon non è equa sotto il profilo della concorrenza, ma non abbiamo molta scelta. Dobbiamo esserci”, ha dichiarato il commerciante Gokhan Erkavun a ProPublica. Come sottolineato da ProPublica, Amazon non è l’unica piattaforma accusata di far pendere i suoi algoritmi a suo favore e in alcuni casi a scapito dei clienti.
Con queste motivazioni la Commissione europea sta indagando su Google per il suo servizio di comparazione di prezzi. In base all’accusa della Commissione, tra i tanti vantaggi, Google favorisce il servizio Google Shopping rispetto agli altri. Questa indagine è ancora in corso.

Les enfants du placard - rts.ch - émissions - temps présent - immigration
La Suisse avait imposé aux travailleurs saisonniers un régime « sans famille ». Leurs enfants devaient rester au pays, année après année. Certains de ces saisonniers ont bravé la loi. Leurs enfants se sont alors cachés en Suisse, sans droit à l’école. Si ils naissaient en Suisse, ces enfants devaient quitter le pays ou alors être placés. Aujourd’hui ils racontent... Des drames de l’enfance parfois cicatrisés mais qui résonnent avec la situation actuelle. Jeudi 19 novembre à 20:30
Les saisonniers ont aidé la Suisse moderne à construire ses ponts, ses tunnels et une partie de sa richesse. De 1945 à l’an 2002, Berne a délivré plus de 6 millions de ces permis « A ». Mais la Suisse interdisait en même temps le regroupement familial à ces centaines de milliers d’italiens, d’espagnols et de portugais. Certains parents bravèrent pourtant la loi... cachant leur enfant derrière des volets fermés. Dans les années 60 on parlait « d’enfants du placard ». Que sont-ils devenus ? Comment ont-ils grandi privés d’enfance, de liberté et de scolarité ? Et comment s’est conquis le droit à l’éducation pour tous ? Certains s’en sont bien tirés : ils possèdent aujourd’hui le passeport à croix-blanche et parlent le français ou le « #Schwyzertütsch » sans accent. Mais il demeure que la Suisse a attendu 1991 avant de leur ouvrir la porte des écoles publiques et 2002 pour abolir officiellement le statut de saisonnier. Aujourd’hui ces enfants d’alors racontent.
Carmela Cimini a vécu 18 mois sans voir le village où se trouvait sa chambre. Francisco a été renvoyé de Suisse à l’âge de 13 ans de la Chaux-de-Fonds, « comme un criminel ». Et Maria di Buchianico revient pour la première fois à l’orphelinat de Soleure où il lui a fallu placer à la naissance sa propre fille née en Suisse. Ces drames de l’enfance ont permis de toucher certain « justes ». Dès les années 70 des écoles clandestines se sont ouvertes - notamment à Neuchâtel et à Genève - et peu à peu la notion du droit universel à l’éducation fait son chemin. En 1990, le conseiller d’Etat neuchâtelois Jean Cavadini fait finalement sauter le verrou. Les enfants sans statut légal sont admis dans les écoles neuchâteloises. Un droit fragile mais acquis en Suisse aujourd’hui dans la plupart des cantons, si ce n’est pour les enfants de parents au bénéfice de « l’aide d’urgence » notamment dans le canton de Berne (voir Temps Présent « La machine fédérale contre l’ #immigration » du 22 octobre 2009).

25 Fascinating Charts Of Negotiation Styles Around The World - Business Insider
Language is only the most obvious part of the global communication gap. Different cultures also have distinct approaches to communication during meetings and negotiations, as described by British linguist Richard D. Lewis, whose best-selling book, “When Cultures Collide,” charts these as well as leadership styles and cultural identities.
Lewis, who speaks ten languages, acknowledges the danger of cultural comparisons in his book: “Determining national characteristics is treading a minefield of inaccurate assessment and surprising exception. There is, however, such a thing as a national norm.”
In support of cross-cultural studies, he writes: “By focusing on the cultural roots of national behavior, both in society and business, we can foresee and calculate with a surprising degree of accuracy how others will react to our plans for them, and we can make certain assumptions as to how they will approach us. A working knowledge of the basic traits of other cultures (as well as our own) will minimize unpleasant surprises (culture shock), give us insights in advance, and enable us to interact successfully with nationalities with whom we previously had difficulty.”
Lewis’ communication diagrams show how cultures use language to negotiate, with wider shapes showing greater conversational range, obstacles marked in gray, and cultural traits noted as well.
Americans, for instance, tend to launch right into #negotiations , respond to discord confrontationally, and resolve with one or both sides making concessions.
Canadians tend to be more low-key and inclined to seek harmony, though they are similarly direct.
We’ll go over the rest in brief after a selection of charts taken with permission from the 2005 third edition of “When Cultures Collide.”
