"The General." "The Great Asparagus." "A man with the most oversized personality." Charles de Gaulle was President of France from 1959-69, and his near-mythological status had been building up for decades before then. His debut appearance in Billy's song is because of his critical involvement in the May 1958 Crisis, which saw Algerian Nationalists rise up and, after nearly 130 years of French colonization, fight for freedom. Dr Arthur Asseraf is an expert in modern France and North Africa, and grew up in France well aware of the near-mythological status that de Gaulle still adopts today. Learn more about your ad choices.

Gentlemen, Ladies, whatever else: It's time to finally return to Old Man Connery. This week, we're joined by Dr Arthur Asseraf, Lecturer in the history of France and the Francophone World at the University of Cambridge. Dr Asseraf is a historian of North Africa, France, and the Mediterranean, which makes him perfectly suited to explain to us the terrible movie 'The Wind and The Lion', a vaguely true story about the time a Moroccan Sharif kidnapped an American guy in 1904 (Except in this version the Sharif is Sean Connery doing absolutely zero accent work, and the American is a stacked 10/10 baddie instead) ------ THE WINTER OF CONTENT If you do feel you have money to spare, please consider supporting your local food banks with money or time! donate to the Trussell Trust here: https://www.trusselltrust.org/make-a-donation/ or the Independent food aid network here: https://www.foodaidnetwork.org.uk/donate Additionally, please consider joining a renter's union like ACORN, as rising mortgage rates will surely result in rising rent, here: https://www.acorntheunion.org.uk/join ------ Consider supporting us on our reasonably-priced patreon! https://www.patreon.com/killjamesbond ------ *WEB DESIGN ALERT* Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

From Tlmecen through to Bethlehem and the Bekaa Valley, we chart the history of wine production in the Middle East and North Africa. Farrah Berrou talks us through her journey of wine writing for a Western audience and what the future holds for Lebanese wine. We also explore the relationship between french colonialism and wine production, and ideas of nationhood, religion, and politics in Algeria and Palestine. Farrah is founder of B for Bacchus, a media platform & podcast featuring wine stories from the Fertile Crescent. Farrah is also a contributing editor to The Wine Zine, a print publication about natural wine. This episode also features commentary from Jamal Rayyis, a Palestinian-American wine writer, as well as Arthur Asseraf, historian of modern North Africa, France and the Mediterranean.
It's the show Parisians love to hate: Alison Sargent talks to Olivia Salazar-Winspear about "Emily in Paris", with insight from native Parisian and historian Arthur Asseraf. They agree they'd rather be watching French comedy "Call My Agent", which is back for its final season on France 2. Finally, they turn to the US, taking a look at politics in American series ahead of the election and HBO's new miniseries "The Undoing", starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant.
Arthur Asseraf's Electric News in Colonial Algeria (Oxford University Press, 2019) examines the workings of the “news ecosystem” in Algeria from the 1880s to the beginning of the Second World War. The study of a society divided between a dominant (European) settler minority and an Algerian Muslim majority, the book tracks the development and impact of new information technologies—the printing press, telegraph, cinema, radio (and later television)—in Algeria from the late-nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries. Throughout its chapters, readers are reminded to resist Eurocentric and teleological frameworks of “modernization” that do not apply to societies like Algeria's where such technologies coexisted with other forms of news circulation including manuscripts, song, and rumor/word of mouth. The book is grounded in an impressive range of sources in multiple languages. It challenges ideas about the relationship between print capitalism and nationalism over the course of this pivotal period in both Algerian and French history. Interrogating the history of colonial hegemony in and through the analysis of how Algerians accessed and interpreted the news in myriad ways often not anticipated by settler and state authorities, the book also has far-reaching implications for how we think about knowledge and power in imperial contexts more broadly. Its pages are rich with exciting and fascinating moments and stories—of surveillance, violence, and injustice, but also of the counterforces of the Algerian subversion of and resistance to colonial oppression. *Special note in March 2020: I hope you are all keeping safe and healthy and that this conversation with Arthur might be helpful in some small way right now—with work, teaching and/or as a distraction in this period of global pandemic. Thanks so much to Arthur, who was SO much fun to speak with & to all the NBFS listeners out there! Roxanne Panchasi is an Associate Professor of History at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada who specializes in twentieth and twenty-first century France and its empire. She is the author of Future Tense: The Culture of Anticipation in France Between the Wars(2009). Her current research focuses on the history of French nuclear weapons and testing since 1945. Her most recent article, '"No Hiroshima in Africa": The Algerian War and the Question of French Nuclear Tests in the Sahara' appeared in the Spring 2019 issue of History of the Present. She lives and reads in Vancouver, Canada and hopes all listeners are keeping healthy and safe at this difficult time in our world.

We explore the political and social histories of North West Africa, interviewing academics with expertise in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. We interview James McDougall, a fellow at Trinity College, Oxford, about the impact of colonial legacies on these countries' political institutions. We also speak with Chuchu Zhang, a doctoral student at the Department of Politics and International Studies at Cambridge University to explain the reasons behind the divergent political fortunes of these three nations and the role of Islamic democracy in Tunisia. Lastly, we ask Arthur Asseraf, fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, about media, politics, and religion in Algeria and surrounding countries, and about the prospect of wider integration across the region.
Episode 40: Aux origines de l’imprimerie en Algérie : Les mythes, les médias, et les masses Dr. Arthur Asseraf est maître de conférences en histoire contemporaine à l'Université de Cambridge et Fellow de Trinity College. Ses travaux portent sur l'histoire de la colonisation, des médias, et de l'information au Maghreb et en France au XIXe et XXe siècles. Son premier livre, Electric News in Colonial Algeria, porte plus particulièrement sur les transformations de la notion d'"actualité" en Algérie. Dans ce podcast, il revient sur les commencements des médias de masse en Algérie, en examinant les débuts de la presse et de ses multiples publics. L'Algérie est une pionnière méconnue de la presse dans le monde arabe. Si l’historiographie se focalise sur l’Egypte ou le Liban, le XIXe siècle voit le développement d’une presse algérienne abondante et peu étudiée. En effet, en Algérie la presse est souvent réduite à son origine française. Comme l'imprimerie est arrivée en Algérie par les bateaux de l’armée française à Sidi-Ferruch en 1830, la presse ne serait-elle qu’une importation coloniale? Pas tout à fait. Proches de l’Europe, les Algériens connaissent l’existence de l’imprimerie bien avant la conquête. Ensuite, sous la période coloniale, bien qu’une bonne partie des journaux soit destinée à un public français, les Algériens s’approprient des publications qui ne leur sont pas destinées. En outre, l’imprimerie en langue arabe au XIXème siècle traverse les frontières impliquant des Libanais, des Italiens et des Tunisiens dans l’essor des publications en Algérie et dans toute la Méditerranée. Bien avant la télévision satellitaire et les réseaux sociaux, elle crée des publics unifiés de Fès à Baghdad. En croisant les imprimeurs et leurs publics, le cas de l'imprimerie peut servir de base à une réflexion sur les liens actuels entre progrès technologiques, médias, modernisation et conscience nationale. La conférence de Dr. Arthur Asseraf est programmée dans le cadre du cycles des conférences « Histoire du Maghreb, histoire au Maghreb », co-organisé par le Centre d'Études Maghrébines en Algérie (CEMA) et le Centre de Recherche en Anthropologie Sociale et Culturelle (CRASC). Elle a eu lieu le 10 Avril 2018 à Oran, Algérie. Dr. Saddek Benkada, historien, maître de recherche au Centre de Recherche en Anthropologie Sociale et Culturelle (CRASC), et membre du Conseil Scientifique du CEMA a modéré cet évènement. Nous remercions Dr. Tamara Turner, Ethnomusicologue et chercheurs au Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Centre for History of Emotions, pour son interprétation de Natiro / Ya Joro du répertoire du Diwan Hausa. Réalisation et montage: Hayet Lansari, Bibliothécaire / Chargée de la diffusion des activités scientifiques (CEMA).
Episode 295with Arthur Asserafhosted by Nir ShafirDownload the podcastFeed | iTunes | GooglePlay | SoundCloudWe often assume that as we become increasingly connected to ever larger networks of information and news we become part of larger and more cohesive polities. In this episode, Arthur Asseraf discusses how the introduction of new networks of communication in colonial Algeria generated friction and unevenness instead of expansive flows. Looking at telegraphs, newspapers, cinemas and more we discuss not only the types of intermediaries that flourished in this new environment, but also how news led to new and imagined forms of Muslim belonging in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. From a discussion of telegrams and coffee shops we jump into discussions of pan-Islamism, colonial conspiracy theories, and the nature of polities.« Click for More »
