IN MEMORIAM. Zygmunt Bauman: The Migration Panic And Its (Mis)uses
SOCIAL EUROPE
Zygmunt Bauman. 17.12.2015
TV news, newspaper headlines, political speeches and tweets used to deliver foci and outlets for public anxieties and fears are currently overflowing with references to the “migration crisis” – ostensibly overwhelming Europe and portending the collapse and demise of the way of life we know, practice and cherish. That crisis is at present a sort of politically correct codename for the current phase of the perpetual battle waged by opinion makers for the conquest and subordination of human minds and feelings. The impact of the news broadcast from that battlefield now comes close to causing a veritable “moral panic” (by the commonly accepted definition of that phenomenon as recorded by Wikipedia: “a feeling of fear spread among a large number of people that some evil threatens the well-being of society.”)

Haffington Post Maghreb |Raouf Farrah
03/01/2016

La scène est ordinaire : une famille afghane est assise dans un petit restaurant du centre de Kaboul. Elle attend avec impatience un repas chaud durant cet hiver glacial. Ayant remarqué le serveur au loin, le père saisit la main de sa fille, puis de sa femme et amorce une prière : «Bi’ism Allah»… La suite s’exempte de commentaires. Les quatre individus sont déchiquetés sur le coup par une bombe artisanale dont les talibans s’en revendiqueront fièrement.
