Political Correctness Gone Mad?

"The incredible story of the woman--actress, dancer, yogi, globetrotter--who brought yoga to America and to much of the rest of the western world. Born Eugenia Peterson in early 20th century Russia, Indra Devi was a rebel from earliest childhood. In the1930s she fled to Berlin, and then--driven by her passion for yoga and a fascination with yogic philosophy (and Theosophy)--she journeyed to India, at a time when unaccompanied young European women were unheard of. In India she performed perhaps her greatest feat--convincing even the most recalcitrant yogis, from Krishnamurti to Krishnamacharya, to reveal to her the secrets of their art. She would go on to share what she learned with men and women around the world--teaching Gloria Swanson and Greta Garboin Hollywood, then moving to Mexico and later to Buenos Aires--helping to usher in the craze for yoga that continues unabated in the U.S. and throughout the world today. Written with vivid clarity, and describing the extraordinary spread and popularization of a philosophical movement, The Goddess Posebrings Indra Devi's little known but wholly remarkable story to life"--

The Goddess Pose

دأبت المحررة السياسية في موقع (صالون) الإعلامي السيدة غولدبيرغ على تغطية التداخل بين السياسة والإيديولوجية طيلة أعوام عملها الصحافي. وقبل انتخابات الرئاسة الأمريكية عام 2004، وفي الأشهر التي تلت الإعلان عن نتائج تلك الانتخابات، كانت غولدبيرغ تتنقل عبر ولايات الوسط في بلد وقع في قبضة التطرف الديني المحموم: أمريكا في عصرنا الحاضر؛ حيث استعصى على كثير من الأمريكان استيعاب كيف يمكن لحكومة موسومة بالشلليّة والاستهتار بالموازنة العامة، والاهتمام الفاضح بالمصالح الشخصية، أن يعاد انتخابها؛ وشاهدت بأم عينها من داخل صفوف الدراسة، ومن قاعات الكنائس العملاقة، إلى أروقة المحاكم الفدرالية، التأثير المتزايد لمذهب الهيمنة – المذهب الذي يقضي بأن المسيحيين يملكون حق السيطرة وحكم غير المؤمنين- وهو مذهب يهدد الأسس الديمقراطية. وتبيّن غولدبيرغ عبر صفحات (قدوم مملكة) كيف تمكنت الأصولية العدوانية من التغلغل في حياتنا العامة؛ وتصطحب القارئ في جولة تستكشف فيها الثقافة الموازية لليمين الإنجيلي المتشدد التي تحظى بتشجيع ومؤازرة الحزب الجمهوري. ونقابل من خلالها متقاعدين عسكريين تعاهدوا على الاستيلاء على البلاد باسم المسيح، وذلك في عمق المنطقة الحمراء في أمريكا المقسمة، ونعاين أعضاء خوّانين من الكونغرس يشجعون أعضاء التحالف الجنوبي الجديد، وأنصار الحكم اللاهوتي، ونشاهد قادة البرامج الممولة من الحكومة يقدمون يسوع على أنه الحل للمشكلات الاجتماعية في هذا البلد. وبمقابلاتها الواضحة والدقيقة، وتسجيلها شهادات الأشخاص الذين يقفون وراء هذه الحركة، استطاعت غولدبيرغ أن تصل إلى قلوب وعقول الأشخاص الذي يسعون إلى تحويل هذه الجمهورية العلمانية الموروثة عن الآباء المؤسسين إلى أمة مسيحية تساس بحسب تفسير تلك الحركة للكتاب المقدس. وفي معاينتها للشرخ المتسع بين المؤمنين وغير المؤمنين، توضح غولدبيرغ الآثار المدمرة لقبضة المحافظين الخانقة على الأمة بأسرها؛ وفي عصر بات يُحتكم فيه إلى الإيمان بدلاً من العقل، وتُهدد فيه قيم عصر التنوير باسم الوطنية الباطنية الرمزية التي تزعم لنفسها عصمة إلهية، فإن (قدوم مملكة) يضعنا وجهاً لوجه مع القوى غير العقلانية التي تعمل على إعادة تشكيل معظم أمريكا اليوم. العبيكان للنشر

قدوم مملكة: تنامي النزعة القومية المسيحية في الولايات المتحدة

O politicamente correto é inimigo da liberdade de expressão, do debate aberto e da livre troca de ideias? Ou, ao confrontar as relações de poder dominantes e as normas sociais que excluem grupos marginalizados, estamos criando uma sociedade mais equitativa e justa? Para alguns, o argumento é claro. O politicamente correto está sufocando o debate livre e aberto que alimenta nossa democracia, separando desnecessariamente um grupo de outro e promovendo o conflito social. Outros afirmam que a criação de espaços públicos e normas que dão voz a grupos anteriormente marginalizados amplia o escopo da liberdade de expressão. O impulso para a inclusão em vez da exclusão é essencial para a criação de sociedades saudáveis e diversificadas em uma era de rápidas mudanças sociais. O vigésimo segundo Debate Munk semestral, realizado em 18 de maio de 2018, coloca o aclamado jornalista, professor e ministro ordenado, Michael Eric Dyson, e a colunista do New York Times, Michelle Goldberg, contra o renomado ator e escritor Stephen Fry e o professor e autor da Universidade de Toronto, Jordan Peterson, para debater as implicações do politicamente correto e da liberdade de expressão.

"You're telling me I'm being sensitive, and students looking for safe spaces that they're being hypersensitive. If you're white, this country is one giant safe space." -- Michael Eric Dyson Is political correctness an enemy of free speech, open debate, and the free exchange of ideas? Or, by confronting head-on the dominant power relationships and social norms that exclude marginalized groups are we creating a more equitable and just society? For some the argument is clear. Political correctness is stifling the free and open debate that fuels our democracy. It is also needlessly dividing one group from another and promoting social conflict. Others insist that creating public spaces and norms that give voice to previously marginalized groups broadens the scope of free speech. The drive towards inclusion over exclusion is essential to creating healthy, diverse societies in an era of rapid social change. The twenty-second semi-annual Munk Debate, held on May 18, 2018, pits acclaimed journalist, professor, and ordained minister Michael Eric Dyson and New York Times columnist Michelle Goldberg against renowned actor and writer Stephen Fry and University of Toronto professor and author Jordan Peterson to debate the implications of political correctness and freedom of speech.
