Already, in 2017, I defined in an academic work, the area of the UNIFIL mission a SPACE OF VIRTUAL PEACE, which: Is an anthropological place (Augé 2011); It is an area-place affected by ‘human security sources of insecurity’; Its geography is included in the space created by the meta-language (Barthes 2000) of a process of securitization (Buzan, Waever, de Wilde 1998) in which the official power-knowledge securing structure 'security' narrative is considered as a myth (Barthes 2000) and a ‘status quo’ ideology; Its referent object of security is represented by the etymological meaning of ‘security’ (freedom from anxiety) which adopts the human security approach and therefore puts the human being as its only referent; Is / It was the theatre of tension, stress, instability, and / or armed conflict; Where peace (absence of war) has been proclaimed, but is a 'negative' peace (Galtung) and therefore the space is still in a dimension of 'virtual peace' (Mini 2003); Where there is still a 'war after the war' (Mini 2003); Whose spatial-temporal dimension is characterized by 'supermodernity' (acceleration of history, space narrowing, individualization of destiny) (Augé 1999); Its operational map is wider than the ‘multiple stress zone’ local geography and considers the ‘‘multiple stress zone’ population which is present as community into the PKSS territory too. It is in this space where the military and the anthropologist act.

#Admiral #Richard #Byrd and the 20th Century's Distorted Truth **Who was Admiral Richard Byrd?** Richard Evelyn Byrd (1888-1957) was a renowned American naval officer and polar explorer. He led numerous expeditions to Antarctica, including the first flight over the South Pole in 1929. Byrd's achievements earned him widespread recognition and admiration. **The 20th Century's Distorted Truth:** This phrase is often associated with claims that historical events have been misrepresented or concealed from the public. Specific examples vary, but some common themes include: * **Government conspiracies:** Claims that governments have covered up alien contact, suppressed advanced technologies, or orchestrated major events like the 9/11 attacks. * **Hidden history:** Theories that suggest significant historical events were fabricated or manipulated, such as the moon landing or the Holocaust. * **Alternative timelines:** Beliefs that our understanding of history is fundamentally flawed and that major events unfolded differently than we are led to believe. **Evaluating Claims:** It's important to approach these claims with a critical eye. Consider the following: * **Source of information:** Where does the information come from? Is it based on credible sources and evidence, or is it primarily based on speculation and hearsay? * **Logical consistency:** Do the claims make logical sense? Are they internally consistent and compatible with established facts? * **Evidence and verification:** Is there any concrete evidence to support the claims? Can the information be verified through independent sources? **Conclusion:** While the idea of a "20th century's distorted truth" is intriguing, it's essential to exercise caution and critical thinking when exploring such claims. Remember, not everything you read online is accurate, and verifying information is crucial before accepting it as truth. **Further Exploration:** If you're genuinely interested in learning more about Admiral Richard Byrd or the 20th century's distorted truth, I recommend seeking information from reputable sources like academic journals, historical archives, and established news outlets. You can also consult with experts in relevant fields like history, political science, or sociology. Remember, critical thinking and a healthy dose of skepticism are essential tools in navigating the complex world of information.

#5_key_messages: The topic that captured my attention the most and sparked my keen interest in in-depth study was #postcolonialism and Northern theory, and I would like to share with you #5_key_messages about them: 1. Military colonisation, with its high cost, danger, and complexity, has often ended, but cultural and #intellectual_colonisation persists and expands. 2. Many heated issues we discuss, debate, and take divergent positions on are #imported from the global north, much like almost everything else in our lives. Simply put, we should ignore them and search for our genuine issues. 3. Priorities, assumptions, and values that we often adopt are pre-packaged ideas from the Global North or the West, not meeting our needs but deepening and complicating them. As Eastern societies rich in cultural depth and intellectual heritage, we must #discover_our_priorities and strive for them. 4. #Resisting the impact of post-colonialism is a conscious and civilised struggle with great benefits for both the East and West and humanity as a whole. 5. The flourishing of human civilisation lies in its #diversity and multiplying the sources of knowledge and cultures, not in its individualism and restriction to a single colour.

Our Book of the Month for May is A History of the World in 47 Borders: The Stories Behind the Lines on Our Maps by Jonn Elledge. Hachette UK People have been drawing lines on maps for as long as there have been maps to draw on. Sometimes rooted in physical geography, sometimes entirely arbitrary, these lines might often have looked very different if a war or treaty or the decisions of a handful of tired Europeans had gone a different way. By telling the stories of these borders, we can learn a lot about how political identities are shaped, why the world looks the way it does – and about the scale of human folly. Read more:
