«Pourquoi brûlent-ils des écoles ?» par Laurence de Cock

Les plus empathiques parlent d’autodestruction. Les jeunes se saboteraient eux-mêmes. Mais dans la droite la plus extrême et dans certains médias d’information continue, on profite de ces actes, cette « violence aveugle », pour tourner en boucle sur la sauvagerie des jeunes, ces « nuisibles », comme les qualifient les syndicats UNSA-Police et Alliance réunis dans un infâme et séditieux communiqué. On fustige leur absence de scrupules et on voit bien là la preuve du caractère apolitique de leur colère. Ils n’attendaient que ça, disent-ils, piller et mettre le feu.

Les écoles, lieux d’injustice sociale

Mais pourquoi brûlent-ils des écoles ? La question ne se pose pas pour la première fois. En novembre 2005, cela avait déjà interpelé car 255 établissements scolaires avaient été touchés. Pour Laurent Ott, éducateur et pédagogue social, dans les quartiers populaires, depuis longtemps, les écoles incarnent le lieu de l’injustice sociale, et beaucoup d’adolescents n’en gardent pas un si bon souvenir que cela. Présentées comme les lieux de « promesse républicaine » aussi bien par l’institution que par les enseignants, les jeunes ne peuvent que percevoir le décalage entre ces beaux discours et leur réalité. Dans les quartiers populaires, l’école produit beaucoup plus de relégation que d’intégration.

Les sociologues Didier Chabanet et Xavier Weppe notent à leur tour que « la rage [des émeutiers] porte contre le quartier lui-même, elle n’a rien à négocier ». Ils confirment la révolte des jeunes contre des institutions publiques qu’ils méprisent en retour et miroir du mépris qu’elles leur ont fait subir. L’école n’est pas une cible collatérale, elle est au cœur des institutions ciblées comme mensongère. Lors d’entretiens en 2016 et 2017, les jeunes critiquent les enseignants « blancs », qui n’habitent jamais le quartier, qui ne les respectent pas, ne les félicitent jamais. Le ressentiment est lourd. Les bibliothèques, elles, ne seraient fréquentées que par à peine 10% des habitants en moyenne. Les deux sociologues notent alors l’échec patent d’une politique de la ville qui n’a jamais réfléchi aux modalités d’association des habitantes et habitants aux choix de transformations de leur quartier. Dès lors, toutes les institutions publiques apparaissent comme des excroissances qui au pire les écrasent ou rejettent, au mieux ne les concernent pas. L’école ne fait pas forcément exception.

Nos lycées brûlent 

S’en tenir à ces explications ne suffit peut-être pas pour comprendre la place particulière occupée par les établissements scolaires dans cette démonstration de colère. Dans les années 1970, on assiste à une multiplication d’incendies criminels, par des élèves, touchant des écoles, collèges et lycées. C’est à l’occasion de l’incendie du collège Pailleron le 8 février 1973 que les médias commencent à interroger cela comme un phénomène de société. Pour les seuls mois de janvier et février, le journal Paris-Match en dénombre onze dans tout le pays …

Comme pour Pailleron, ce sont des incendies ou départs de feux faits par des élèves qui veulent se venger de situations ou propos humiliants. À Pailleron, le jeune Patrick 14 ans avait dit à la police qu’il ne voulait pas aller dans la classe surnommée « des déchets ». À Bobigny, ce sont les classes dites « pratiques » d’un CES qui brûlent, cinq baraquements en bois : « Mon prof nous a raconté que les autres profs lui disent sans arrêt : « tu as du courage de rester avec ces tarés » raconte un élève, ajoutant : « les portes n’ont même pas de poignées, elles nous restent dans les mains. Par moment il n’y a pas de carreaux, les extincteurs ils viennent les remettre pour l’enquête pour faire bien devant les inspecteurs, c’est parce qu’un mec a voulu mettre le feu ».

Deux ans plus tard, en 1975, on compte encore une quarantaine d’incendies criminels. Les conditions matérielles sont avancées comme principales causes à deux niveaux : d’abord parce que les constructions sont hautement inflammables et que tout départ de feu peut être fatal, comme à Pailleron ; ensuite parce que les établissements scolaires qui sont incendiés sont pour la plupart délabrés et renforcent le sentiment de honte des élèves qui y sont scolarisés.

What’s Out This Week? 7/19

We’ll see y’all at our Live Zine Reading on the 22nd!

Big Game #1 (of 5) -  Mark Millar & Pepe Larraz The comics event of the summer is here! Okay, this is so top secret we can't even show you the main cover because it spoils something MASSIVE. Just trust us when we say that this is going to be the comic book event of 2023-and it's NOT what you're expecting. Does the crossover really go that wide? Yes, it does. BIG GAME pulls together KICK-ASS, KINGSMAN, NEMESIS, THE MAGIC ORDER, and ALL the Millarworld franchises in one special event!

The Bomb: The Weapon That Changed The World GN -  Laurent-Frederic Bollee, Didier Alcante & Denis Rodier

On August 6, 1945, at 8:15 in the morning, an explosive charge of more than 15 kilotons fell on the city of Hiroshima. Tens of thousands of people were pulverized, and everything within four square miles was instantly destroyed. A deluge of flames and ash had just caused Japan's greatest trauma and changed the course of modern warfare and life on Earth forever. The world was horrified by the existence of the bomb-the first weapon of mass destruction. But how could such an appalling tool be invented? In The Bomb, Didier Alcante, Laurent-Frédéric Bollée, and Denis Rodier have created an exhaustive and definitive work of nonfiction that details the stories of the unsung players as well as the remarkable men and women who are at the crux of its history and the events that followed.

Doom Breaker GN Vol 1 -  Blue-Deep

Zephyr is the last human fighting evil in a world abandoned by the gods. After being slain by Tartarus, the Demon Lord, all of humanity seems lost. However, much to the sinister amusement of the gods, Zephyr is reincarnated to save humanity and avenge those he loves. Can Zephyr finally have his revenge against Tartarus and save the woman he loves, or is he doomed to repeat the past?

Frontera GN - Julio Anta & Jacoby Salcedo 

As long as he remembers to stay smart and keep his eyes open, Mateo knows that he can survive the trek across the Sonoran Desert that will take him from Mexico to the United States. That is until he's caught by the Border Patrol only moments after sneaking across the fence in the dead of night. Escaping their clutches comes at a price, and lost in the desert without a guide or water, Mateo is ill-prepared for the unforgiving heat that is sure to arrive come sunrise. With the odds stacked against him, his one chance at survival may be putting his trust in something, or rather someone, that he isn't even sure exists. If you'd asked him if ghosts were real before he found himself face-to-face with one, Mateo wouldn't have even considered it. But now, confronted with the nearly undeniable presence of Guillermo, he's having second thoughts. As his journey stretches on, Mateo will have to decide exactly what and who he's willing to sacrifice to find home.

The Great Snake’s Bride GN Vol 1 -  Fushiashikumo

For 500 years, a giant snake god has lived in the ancient mountain. Miyo, an unlucky young woman from the nearby village, has been offered as a tribute: she is to be the snake's bride. Miyo always feared that the enormous talking snake would devour her whole, but once she's taken in by the god, he treats her like a wife rather than a meal. His flicking tongue vibrates through gentle words, his powerful slithering body wraps around hers in an embrace. This god is kinder than his monstrous form implies, and Miyo thinks she could learn to appreciate the non-human form his love takes. What does it truly mean to be the bride of a beast?

Heart Eyes Complete Series TP -  Dennis Hopeless & Victor Ibáñez

Sanity-eating monsters ended humanity. The unlucky few who survived now hide in the cracks of a broken world. And yet somehow, beneath the graveyard that used to be San Antonio, Rico met Lupe, the girl of his dreams. But how did she get here? And why is she smiling? No one survives out in the street. No one smiles where the monsters lurk.

Homicide GN Part 1 - Philippe Squarzoni & David Simon 

Homicide, the celebrated true crime-book from the creator of HBO's The Wire, is reenvisioned in this first volume of a gritty, cinematic graphic novel duology. In 1988, journalist David Simon was given unprecedented access to the Baltimore Police Department's homicide unit. Over the next twelve months, he shadowed detectives as they took on a slew of killings in a city where killings were common. Only the most heinous cases stood out-chief amongst them, the rape and murder of eleven-year-old Latonya Wallace. Originally published in 1991, Simon's Homicide became the basis for the acclaimed television show Homicide: Life on the Streets and inspired HBO's The Wire. Now, this true-crime classic is reimagined as a gritty two-part graphic novel series.

Imitation GN Vol 1 - Kyoung-Ran Park

As a member of the obscure idol group "Tea Party," Ma-Ha dreams of becoming a big star one day. Little did she know that she'd go viral so soon...by embarrassing herself in a popular talk show! But as the saying goes, there is no such thing as bad publicity...right?

This is what they call love in the LOVESICK CLUB. But as Domino faces emerging threats and mounting pressure from a needy audience, what price will she have to pay for success in this literally cutthroat world?

So, when a human boy named Mathias breaks the house's sealing spell, Iris and her companions are set free upon the town of Dead End Springs. What Iris doesn't know is that Mathias is also a paranormal hunter (the kind who seeks to capture and destroy the horrors), or that there are other dangers ahead. As Iris searches for a home, she makes human friends, explores a brand-new world... and stumbles upon a dark secret that Halloway has kept locked in the basement of the house. Will this long-slumbering mystery destroy the family Iris so desperately seeks?

The Arca, massive vessels bound for the distant promised land of Leonis. When the passengers of Arca III awaken from their long intergalactic journey, they realize they're not in Leonis. Not only that, their journey has taken much longer than the planned two hundred years, and has landed them in a starless, seemingly endless place. Eric Rives, the ship's second-in-command, and his partner Jia Tang are sent on an exploratory mission to investigate the dark labyrinth that surrounds them... but what they find is beyond belief.

@asongofstarkandtargaryen There's a couple of comics and films I wanted to post something about them some time ago, so here they are

Black is Beltza is a duology of comics, the first one was published in 2014 and the second in 2022, and they have been adapted into two Basque animated films recently in 2018 and 2022, Black is Beltza and Black is Beltza II: Ainhoa.

One of the main things of the comics are the sociopolitical environment of the places and the period the films are set in, for example the first one is set in the 60's mainly in New York and the sequel is set in the 80's and among other places, in Pamplona.

Black is Beltza (2018)

October 1965. The Pamplona troupe of giants, a typical image of the San Fermín festivities, is invited to parade on Fifth Avenue in New York. But not everyone will be able to leave: due to racial discrimination, the North American authorities prohibit the participation of the two black giants. Based on this real event, "Black is Beltza" tells the story of Manex, the waiter in charge of carrying one of the giants. Headed for a long and unexpected journey, Manex will witness key events in history: the racial riots resulting from the assassination of Malcolm X, the eccentricities of the characters in The Factory, the alliance between the Cuban secret services and the Black Panthers, and the proto-hippie psychedelia of early music festivals.
