Some Remarks on the Minority Languages Question
2008-10-12 08:53:00 The recent posts on minority languages have elicited some interesting comments. Commenting on The Record of Communist Language Policy, silver, a Serb, notes: In Eastern Europe, a similar thing occurred with the fall of the Communist regimes. In general, nationalist regimes took their place and quickly began attacking minorities and minority tongues. This has been most pronounced in the former Yugoslavia.I'm not aware of Serbian nationalists attempting to suppress Hungarian or Albanian. Even throughout the supposedly nationalist Milosevic era I think Hungarians were able to graduate university in Hungarian (and, of course, Albanian in Kosovo). I'm pretty sure Albanian has fared better in Macedonia under independence than during Yugoslavia; little-known Vlach certainly has. A new poster, A Jew Coming to Get You, who will be tolerated as long as he behaves, notes: A relevant book discussing Soviet nationality policy is called Affirmative Action Empire. Regarding the Chinese dialect...

Migration and Language Policy
2008-10-07 03:25:00 In comments on the The Record of Communist Language Policy post, James Schipper notes astutely: One very important aspect of language policy is migration. The more migration there is within a multilingual state, the more minority languages are threatened. If Russians are free to move move into Latvia, then the Latvian language will be in danger, even if Latvian remains an official language in Latvia.We are seeing this in Tibet too. The influx of Chinese in Tibet is the real danger to the Tibetan language. In the capital of Tibet, the Chinese are already the majority. The smaller a people is, the more they have to be able to control immigration if they want to survive as a nation.Of course, by making its territory rigidly unilingual, the minority can create a linguistic barrier to immigration. If Latvian is the sole language of administration and instruction in Latvia, then Russians will think twice before settling there.For minority languages there are two basic rules: concentrate ...

The Record of Communist Language Policy
2008-10-07 01:30:00 A commenter posting on the Cool Neo-Latin Websites post critiques what he sees as a disconnect in my views: That's funny you support preserving small languages, because most communists do not and prefer centralization and one mass-language for everyone.For instance, the communists in the USSR did much to stamp out local languages by forcing all people living within its boundaries to learn Russian first and foremost in state schools (which they were forced to attend).They did somewhat try to preserve local languages in the so called "autonomous regions" within the Soviet empire, but still many local languages were lost in the forced shuffle from locally-based economies to the centralized/state-run economy where Russian reigned supreme.In China a similar situation is taking place...many languages and dialects have been lost and are continuing to be lost as the communists there forcibly centralize everything in sight and institute Mandarin over all else. I respond: First of all, I w...

Il Dalai Lama accusa: "La Cina viola la tregua olimpica in Tibet"
2008-08-13 18:46:00 La Cina viola la tregua olimpica in Tibet Mentre vanno in onda i giochi di Pechino 2008 i monaci tibetani continuano ad essere brutalizzati La denuncia arriva dal santo Dalai Lama a cura di G. Iannozzi Il Dalai Lama ha accusato la Cina di violare, con la repressione in Tibet, la tregua olimpica che tutti dovrebbero rispettare durante i Giochi, tanto più il Paese che sta ospitando l'edizione di Pechino 2008. Lo hanno riferito diversi parlamentari francesi dopo aver incontrato il leader spirituale dei buddhisti tibetani, in visita per dodici giorni in Francia per motivi religiosi. Al Dalai Lama è stato chiesto se, in occasione dello svolgimento dei giochi olimpici, il regime cinese avesse sospeso «gli arresti e l'oppressione» nella regione himalayana. «La sua risposta è stata molto chiara: no», ha raccontato uno dei membri del Parlamento di Parigi, Robert Badinter, già ministro della Giustizia sotto la Presidenza di Francois ...
Una candela per il Tibet
2008-08-07 21:27:00 Una candela per il Tibet Io questa sera accenderò una candela per il Tibet. Lo farò alle 21. I sostenitori di questa iniziativa spiegano che il lume di una candela simboleggia l’azione di ognuno di noi per una giusta causa e che milioni di luci in tutto il mondo hanno un grande significato simbolico, sono difatti un “voto ideale” di persone fra loro unite senza alcuna differenza di sesso, di razza, di idee politiche e religiose; si porta così nel mondo intero la Speranza di un cambiamento. Ma il significato di una candela accesa è ancor maggiore negli Stati nei quali i leaders devono rendere conto delle loro proprie azioni, soprattutto nei Paesi democratici occidentali, dove i capi di governo devono tenere in debita considerazione la volontà pubblica. “Ogni essere umano che vuole la libertà – spiegano i sostenitori dell’iniziativa – deve accendere una candela.

People who live in glass houses shouldn?t stage an Olympic protest
2008-05-20 15:49:00 Though a little late in the game, calls for a boycott of the Beijing Olympics can still be heard. For instance, President Bush and Russian President Dimitry Medvedev plan to attend the August 8 opening ceremonies. But French President Nicolas Sarkozy may be a no-show unless Chinese authorities negotiate with Tibetan leaders. Since the March 10th uprising in Tibet, Chinese security forces have terrorized Tibetans by not only firing upon, but “disappearing” protesters. They also occupied monasteries and villages. Meanwhile, 194 American rabbis recently signed a letter protesting China’s support for Sudan and its brutal oppression of Darfur. Besides investing billions of dollars to help prop up the brutal Khartoum regime, China has sold it assault rifles and other weapons. “Insecurity,” reports Foreign Policy in Focus’s John Feffer, “which poses the greatest threat to civilians and humanitarians in Darfur, derives directly from the arrogant def...

El mito del Tibet.
2008-05-15 19:36:00 Cómo un régimen dictatorial de monjes es románticamente transfigurado.Colin GoldnerEste artÃculo es sobre el pueblo de TÃbet, sobre su liberación social y autodeterminación individual. TÃbet deberÃa ser libre de la dictadura militar china; pero también debe ser libre del violento fundamentalÃsimo religioso de los lamas tibetanos.El ‘viejo TÃbet’, como es visto en libros y escrituras comunes en el mundo occidental, se muestra como un ParaÃso en la tierra —el mÃtico Shangri-La, que permitió la vida feliz y satisfactoria de la gente según ellos, la naturaleza y sus dioses.El mismo Dalai Lama da una amplia descripción de la vida alegre y sin preocupaciones de la gente que ahà habita.La continua influencia del budismo produjo una ‘sociedad de paz y armonÃa’.Con la ocupación del TÃbet por los chinos en 1950 este paraÃso fue destruido irreversiblemente.La historia moderna ha sabido por algún tiempo que el “viejo TÃbet†no era de ninguna manera la socie...

Tibet.
2008-05-15 18:54:00 Una de las principales razones por las que tantos occidentales participan en las protestas contra China es ideológica: el budismo tibetano, hábilmente divulgado por el Dalai Lama, es uno de los puntos de referencia ineludibles para esa espiritualidad hedonista New Age que se ha hecho tan popular en los últimos tiempos. El TÃbet se ha convertido en una entidad mÃtica en la que proyectamos nuestros sueños. Cuando la gente lamenta la pérdida de un auténtico estilo de vida tibetano, no es porque les preocupe la situación real de los tibetanos: lo que quieren es que los tibetanos sean auténticamente espirituales para nosotros, a fin de que podamos seguir practicando nuestra locura consumista. “Si estás atrapado en el sueño del otroâ€, escribió Gilles Deleuze, “entonces estás perdidoâ€. Las protestas contra China son válidas para rebatir el lema de los Juegos OlÃmpicos chinos —“Un mundo, un sueñoâ€â€” con este otro: “Un mundo, muchos sueñosâ€. Pero también...

Tibet Talks Get Underway: Negotiations with Chinese Characteristics - SendM
2008-05-04 12:08:00 Tibet Talks Get Underway: Negotiations with Chinese CharacteristicsSo, as predicted in my previous post, the talks between the Dalai Lama's representatives and Beijing are happening today in Shenzhen. Expectations on both sides seem low, to put it mildly. President Hu Jintao, who is in Tokyo, did express some hopes that the talks might produce some results. On the other hand an editorial in the Tibet Daily-echoing similar articles in state media--repeated all the allegations against the "Dalai clique" being behind a conspiracy to foment the unrest. Presumably it's all part of a sophisticated effort to keep the other side confused and off balance. Link - Sun, 04 May 2008 00:32:26 GMT - Feed (1 subs) Sent using SendMeRss.com.
