C dans l'air du 21 avril 2025 : Mort du pape François : l'émotion mondialeIl aura marqué l'Église par son humilité et son ouverture aux plus vulnérables. Douze ans après son arrivée au Vatican, le Pape François, de son vrai nom Mario Bergoglio, s'est éteint ce lundi matin, à l'âge de 88 ans. Premier souverain pontife non-européen, ce fils d'immigrés italiens de nationalité argentine a multiplié les déclarations en faveur de la défense des migrants, de la planète, ou encore de l'entente interreligieuse. On retiendra notamment son discours d'ouverture sur l'homosexualité : "Si une personne est gay et cherche le Seigneur avec bonne volonté, qui suis-je pour la juger ?". Surtout, le pape François s'est posé dès ses débuts comme le défenseur des plus pauvres : "Comme je voudrais une Église pauvre et pour les pauvres !", s'exclamait-il en 2013 au Vatican. À l'annonce de son décès, les hommages de dirigeants du monde entier se sont multipliés, d'Emmanuel Macron, à Vladimir Poutine en passant par JD Vance. Le vice-président américain était d'ailleurs l'un des derniers à avoir rencontré le Pape lors d'une brève visite au Vatican dimanche : "J'ai été heureux de le voir hier, même s'il était manifestement très malade", a-t-il déclaré.Toutes ces dernières années, le pape François a défendu l'immigration et la solidarité avec les migrants. En juillet 2013, c'est à Lampedusa, petite île italienne devenue un symbole de la crise migratoire européenne, que le chef de l'Église effectue son premier déplacement. "La culture du bien-être qui nous amène à penser à nous-mêmes nous rend insensibles aux cris des autres. Elle porte à la mondialisation de l'indifférence", dit-il en regrettant que la Méditerranée soit devenue un cimetière. Depuis Lampedusa, le pape François appelle à "construire des ponts et abattre des murs". Un message qu'il répètera sans cesse, jusqu'à sa venue à Marseille, en 2023. Entre-temps, le pape a créé un ministère chargé des questions migratoires au sein même du Vatican, et ramené une douzaine de réfugiés syriens dans son avion personnel, après un voyage dans le camp de Lesbos, en Grèce. Ces derniers mois, l'immigration est devenue un sujet de crispation avec l'administration Trump, qui a fait des immigrés son bouc-émissaire. Le dialogue avec l'extrême droite catholique européenne est aussi compliqué, le dirigeant de la Ligue italienne, Matteo Salvini, allant même jusqu'à arborer un t-shirt "Mon pape est Jean-Paul II".Autre grand sujet contemporain, l'aide à mourir a suscité d'intenses débats entre l'Église catholique, farouchement opposée, et le sommet de l'État français. "Il y a la tentation de dissimuler derrière des mots doux la violence de ce dispositif, qui est de l'ordre de l'euthanasie ou du suicide assisté", dénonçait il y a un an l'évêque de Nanterre Mgr Matthieu Rougé. Le projet de loi sur la fin de vie, porté par l'ancien Premier ministre Gabriel Attal, a été interrompu par la dissolution de l'Assemblée en juin 2024. Les poids lourds de la majorité se divisent maintenant sur l'avenir du texte, François Bayrou souhaitant scinder le texte en deux parties, tandis que la présidente de l'Assemblée nationale, Yaël Braun-Pivet, demande à ce qu'il soit inscrit à l'agenda de l'hémicycle le plus rapidement possible.Quel héritage va laisser le Pape François ? En quoi son combat en faveur des migrants a suscité des crispations avec l'extrême droite catholique ? Une loi sur la fin de vie va-t-elle aboutir en 2025 ?LES EXPERTS :- Christophe BARBIER - Éditorialiste politique, conseiller de la rédaction de Franc-Tireur- Isabelle DE GAULMYN - Productrice déléguée des Matins de France Culture- François MABILLE - Chercheur au CNRS, au groupe Sociétés, Religions, Laïcité- Isabelle LASSERRE - Ancienne correspondante en Russie, correspondant diplomatique - Le FigaroPRÉSENTATION : Maya Lauqué - REDIFFUSION : du lundi au vendredi vers 23h40PRODUCTION DES PODCASTS: Jean-Christophe ThiéfineRÉALISATION : Nicolas Ferraro, Bruno Piney, Franck Broqua, Alexandre Langeard, Corentin Son, Benoît LemoinePRODUCTION : France Télévisions / Maximal ProductionsRetrouvez C DANS L'AIR sur internet & les réseaux :INTERNET : francetv.frFACEBOOK : https://www.facebook.com/Cdanslairf5TWITTER : https://twitter.com/cdanslairINSTAGRAM : https://www.instagram.com/cdanslair/

Sounds! Album der Woche: Das Berner Kollektiv kündigt ihre dritte Platte «i got a song, it's gonna make us millions» als ihre bislang beste an. Im exklusiven Sounds!-Interview erzählen Nabyla und Jasmina Serag woher diese Überzeugung kommt... ...die beiden Stimmen von Sirens of Lesbos sprechen mit uns aber auch über den Videodreh zum Track «Room333», der in Los Angeles passierte – just als die Stadt von verheerenden Waldbränden heimgesucht wurde. Und auch die ökonomischen Nachteile, die mittlerweile entstehen, wenn man 2025 noch immer als komplette Band touren möchte, kommen zur Sprache. Dazu gibt's viel Musik aus dem neuen Album, das diese Woche unser Sounds! Album der Woche ist. Es gibt Vinyl zu Gewinnen, jeden Abend bis und mit Freitag – nur live in der Sendung!

This week the Diamond Necklace Affair! But first we catch up. Joe went to Dallas and drank a lot. Woo hoo! Meanwhile, Sarah has watched Severance.In the Rose of Versailles, Jeanne pulls off her biggest “prank” yet. She scams Rohan into buying an ungodly expensive necklace and then immediately gets caught. Then we all go to trial. It goes bad for pretty much everyone especially Marie Antoinette who wasn't even there. Let's see what else… Oscar is accused of being a lesbian and Rosalie gets kidnapped basically. It's a really dense three episodes.

En este Día Internacional de la felicidad nos preguntamos por qué nos afecta tanto en nuestro estado de ánimo tantos días de lluvia. Con el compañero del equipo de deportes, Alex Garcia, tomamos el pulso al inicio de la Copa de la Reina de baloncesto que arranca hoy en Zaragoza. Charlamos con el periodista Hibai Arbide (residente en la isla de Lesbos) de las devoluciones en caliente que se realizan en Grecia desde hace años y que narra en su nuevo libro ‘Con el agua al cuello'. Con Benjamin Gaya seguimos analizando al ser humano desde el punto de vista de la antropología. Hoy nos fijamos en cómo nuestras redes sociales, o redes de apoyo, son fundamentales para nuestro desarrollo como individuos y sociedad

El periodista Hibai Arbide firma 'Con el agua al cuello', un ensayo que nos acerca a la peor frontera de Europa donde más de cien mil personas han sido abandonadas a la deriva en mar abierto tras ser interceptadas en el agua cuando intentaban llegar al as islas griegas. En solo diez años, Lesbos y otras islas griegas han pasado de ser un ejemplo de solidaridad, a un lugar donde se cometen atrocidades cada día, ¿qué ha pasado?

Hibai Arbide Aza, con más de una década de experiencia cubriendo la realidad griega, reside actualmente en Lesbos, punto neurálgico de la migración desde Turquía. En su libro "Con el agua al cuello" (Capitán Swing, 2025), Arbide Aza documenta y analiza las trágicas muertes y las controvertidas devoluciones en caliente que tienen lugar en lo que él describe como "la peor frontera de Europa". En este 'Hoy por Hoy Bilbao-Bizkaia' su autor visita nuestros estudios en una visita a casa, Barakaldo

La misma tuvo lugar en el estadio de Mendizorroza y se enviará a los refugiados de la isla de Lesbos.

Las devoluciones en caliente se han convertido en elemento estructural de la gestión fronteriza en el Mediterráneo. No es sadismo, es una estrategia. Las políticas migratorias se han convertido en políticas asesinas y lo contamos con el periodista Hibai Arbide Aza y su libro “Con el agua al cuello. Muertes y devoluciones en caliente en la peor frontera de Europa” en el que narra, desde Lesbos, una década de políticas migratorias salvajes. Analizamos este maltrato sistémico hacia las personas migrantes y la comisión de atrocidades e ilegalidades de forma abierta por parte de guarda costera, gobiernos y agencias como Frontex. Y hablamos de la externalización de fronteras y la necropolítica migratoria europea con el periodista José Bautista.

Afrikas första modernist ville göra tabula rasa med den västerländska verskonsten. Dan Jönsson dyker ner i Rabearivelos tidlösa och gränslösa dikter. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Jag inser förstås genast att det är en överdrift, men tanken tål att tänkas: är det kanske så att poesin som litterärt fenomen blir särskilt livskraftig när den får växa på en ö? Till skillnad från prosan som behöver näringen från stora städer och från vida kontinenter hittar poesin sin form i en omgivning som begränsas av tydliga konturer, omgiven av ett främmande och obevekligt element som isolerar, det vill säga bokstavligen för-öigar diktaren och slipar tanken in på bara benet. Man kan rada upp namnen på de stora öpoeterna: Sappho på Lesbos, Irlands Yeats och Seamus Heaney, Elytis och Kazantzakis på Kreta, Derek Walcott på Saint Lucia. Och Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo på Madagaskar. Har de inte allihop någonting gemensamt?Som sagt, antagligen inte. Listan över undantagen blir förstås betydligt längre. Ändå kan jag inte riktigt släppa tanken när jag läser Rabearivelos poesi, rotad som den är i Madagaskars urskogar och röda jord, snärjd i de lianer som kartografiskt slingrar sig utmed öns stränder, hela tiden med en vaksam sidoblick mot horisonten, mot ett mytiskt ursprung någonstans på andra sidan havet, och med en längtan till de fjärran metropoler och kulturer som utgör den koloniala verklighetens flimrande hägringar. I dikten ”Trycksaker” manar han fram sin förväntan när postbåten kommer till ön med sin last av efterlängtade livstecken från världen bortom haven – ”dessa målande, svävande ark/ som kommit till mig från hela jordklotet”, som han formulerar det, och som för en stund befriar honom ur ”detta löjliga fängelse/ som förgäves övervakar bergen/ och skogarna, och haven”.Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo föddes 1901 som Joseph-Casimir; förnamnet ändrade han för att få nöjet att underteckna med samma initialer som sin store idol, den förromantiske filosofen och romanförfattaren Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Under hela sitt korta liv var han besatt av en stark, olycklig kärlek till den franska kolonialmaktens civilisation, dess ämbetsverk och traditioner, dess språk och dess kultur. Han härstammade på mödernet från en av öns kungliga familjer och hanterade sitt madagaskiska ursprung som en viktig lyrisk klangbotten i sina verk – men i grunden ändå som någonting han ville överskrida. Livet igenom hoppades han på en tjänst i den koloniala administrationen, och på att en gång få representera sitt land vid något stort evenemang i Paris. Inget av det blev verklighet. När han tog sitt liv 1937 hade han aldrig ens fått myndigheternas tillstånd att lämna Madagaskar. Med Ingemar Leckius pregnanta formulering i förordet till den första svenska utgåvan av hans dikter förblev Rabearivelo ”dubbelt landsflyktig, en furste av Ingenstans”.Ja – och Överallt, skulle jag vilja tillägga. För det är på många sätt just denna svävande, kosmopolitiska hemlöshet som gör hans dikter så på en gång både tidlösa och gränslösa. De dröjer i ena stunden vid en hemlig, mytisk källa mitt i urskogen för att i nästa tala till Keats grekiska urna; de kan besjunga sebutjurens seniga kropp eller det fasta gula skalet hos en mango och kastar sig sedan in i en målning av Gauguin. Allt är nära, allt är lika verkligt – från kullarna runt huvudstaden Antananarivo, som han aldrig lämnar, besvärjer han de böljande risfälten och eukalyptusskogens höga pelarsalar, busksvinen och utriggarpirogerna, och det i en fritt krängande lyrisk vers som ekar av symbolister som Rimbaud och Mallarmé. Allt hänger samman, som han skriver: ”samma himmel är alltid världens tak” – poetens språk är liksom brevbärarens postväska ett hemligt skrin för ”hela världens tanke”.Jag skulle tro att denna geografiska melankoli, denna smärtsamma försoning med världens väldighet är något som känns igen av var och en som någon gång färdats med fingret över en karta eller låtit blicken dröja vid bilderna från platser som man aldrig kommer att få se. För Rabearivelo förblev den alltså ohjälpligt ett öppet sår. Till skillnad från en annan samtida lyrisk pionjär från det franska Afrika, Senegals Léopold Senghor, som gjorde sig hemmastadd i imperiets centrum och med tiden blev en av dess starkaste antikoloniala röster, tvingades Rabearivelo till en tillvaro i marginalen. Visserligen publicerades hans dikter; visserligen förde han en livlig korrespondens med franska kollegor som André Gide – det kunde komma dussintals brev på samma gång med den där postbåten – men sin publik hade han huvudsakligen på Madagaskar, och den var begränsad. Liksom förstås den litterära offentligheten på ön.För mig hämtar alltså hans lyrik en särskild kraft just ur denna begränsning, denna isolering. De dikter som har överlevt till vår tid finns främst i hans två sena diktsamlingar ”Presque-songes” (Nästan-drömmar) från 1934 och ”Traduit de la nuit” (Tolkat från natten) som gavs ut året därpå. Båda genomströmmas av ett sorts revanschlystet, upproriskt svårmod som i den madagaskiska naturen och kulturen hittat verktygen för att, som han själv uttrycker det, ”göra tabula rasa med den västerländska verskonstens alla kineserier”. Här är han förstås på samma våglängd som många av de franskspråkiga diktare och konstnärer som i början av nittonhundratalet söker impulser till förnyelse i de traditionella utomeuropeiska kulturerna. Rabearivelo inser att han alldeles inpå knutarna har tillgång till just en sådan kraftkälla, och vill på samma sätt söka sig mot något ursprungligt och allmänmänskligt, förklarar han – ”genom att spörja min egen jord, genom att konfrontera mig blott med mina döda”.I ”Presque-songes”, som skrevs samtidigt på både franska och malagassiska och sedan 2024 också finns på svenska i sin helhet, blir det övergripande projektet att försöka mana fram den röst, den ”sång” han anar binder samman allt i tid och rum. Kaktusen med dess hårda pansar runt sitt livgivande vatten, lianernas kraftfulla slingrande, den gamle mannens blick som vaknar till med en ungdomlig glimt, makakernas gåtfulla tjattrande och anfädernas övervuxna gravar – allt talar med i grunden samma ton, en mörk vibration av trotsigt liv i skuggan av den annalkande döden: ”det svaga ekot”, som han skriver, ”av en inre sång/ som växer och mullrar”. Dikterna är kraftfulla och omedelbara, mättade med blixtrande konkreta bilder som i den följande boken, ”Tolkat från natten”, stegras till en ny nivå i en svit namnlösa strofer där Rabearivelo målar upp en alldeles egenartad, gnistrande mörkervärld. I dessa dikter, varav ett urval också finns på svenska, har de skarpa bilderna övergått i kusliga förvandlingsnummer, den livgivande sången i ett djupt, och närapå extatiskt, existentiellt främlingskap. Likt nattens ”svarte glasmästare” ser poeten sitt verk falla sönder mellan sina händer. Hjälplös och ensam.

Over one thousand years later, Sappho wrote great poems of longing and desire. For classicist Daisy Dunn, these women—whether they were simply sitting at their looms at home or participating in the highest echelons of power—were up to something much more interesting than other histories would lead us to believe. Together, these women helped to make antiquity as we know it. In this monumental work, Dunn reconceives our understanding of the ancient world by emphasizing women's roles within it. The Missing Thread never relegates women to the sidelines and is populated with well-known names such as Cleopatra and Agrippina, as well as the likes of Achaemenid consort Atossa and Olympias, a force in Macedon. Spanning three thousand years, the story moves from Minoan Crete to Mycenaean Greece, from Lesbos to Asia Minor, from the Persian Empire to the royal court of Macedonia, and concludes with Rome and its growing empire. The women of antiquity are undeniably woven throughout the fabric of history, and in The Missing Thread they finally take center stage. 1608 Women of Rome mythology

Notes and Links to Lauren Markham's Work       Lauren Markham is a writer based in northern California. She is the author of the recent A Map of Future Ruins: On Borders and Belonging (Riverhead, 2024) which The New Yorker listed as one of “The Best Books We've Read in 2024 So Far” and which Kirkus reviews called “a remarkable, unnerving, and cautionary portrait of a global immigration crisis.” A fiction writer, essayist and journalist, her work most often concerns issues related to youth, migration, the environment and her home state of California. Markham's first book, The Far Away Brothers: Two Young Migrants and the Making of an American Life (Crown, 2017) was the winner of the 2018 Ridenhour Book Prize, the Northern California Book Award, and a California Book Award Silver Prize. It was named a Barnes & Noble Discover Selection, a New York Times Book Critics' Top Book of 2017, and was shortlisted for the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize and the L.A. Times Book Award and longlisted for a Pen America Literary Award in Biography.  Markham has reported from the border regions of Greece and Mexico and Thailand and Texas; from arctic Norway; from gang-controlled regions of El Salvador; from depopulating towns in rural Sardinia and rural Guatemala, too; from home school havens in southern California; from imperiled forests in Oregon and Washington; from the offices of overwhelmed immigration attorneys in L.A. and Tijuana; from the upscale haunts of women scammed on the Upper East Side.  Her writing has appeared in outlets such as VQR (where she is a contributing editor), Harper's, The New York Times Magazine, The Guardian, The New York Review of Books, The New Republic, Guernica, Freeman's, Mother Jones, Orion, The Atlantic, Lit Hub, California Sunday, Zyzzyva, The Georgia Review, The Best American Travel Writing 2019, and on This American Life. She has been awarded fellowships from The Mesa Refuge, UC Berkeley, Middlebury College, the McGraw Center, the French American Foundation, the Society for Environmental Journalists, the Silvers Prize, the de Groot Foundation, and the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference.  In addition to writing, Markham has spent fifteen years working at the intersection of education and immigration. She regularly teaches writing in various community writing centers as well as at the Ashland University MFA in Writing Program, the University of San Francisco and St. Mary's MFA in Writing Program. Her third book, Immemorial, will be published by Transit Books in 2025.       Buy A Map of Future Ruins   Lauren's Website   Los Angeles Review of Books' Review of A Map of Future Ruins   At about 4:00, Lauren makes the case that not all young reading has to be high-brow as she discusses formative works as a kid and adolescent, which included Nancy Drew and Milan Kundera At about 6:50, Lauren responds to Pete's question about how she thinks and writes in diverse genres, and how her reading of varied writers informs her own work At about 10:40, Lauren shouts out Vauhini Vara, Hernan Diaz, Nathan Heller, Jia Tolentino, and other treasured contemporary writers At about 12:45, Lauren talks about how writing informs her teaching, and vice versa At about 15:25, Pete asks Lauren about seeds for A Map of Future Ruins and how her work with many undocumented and refugee students has affected her writing At about 19:00, Lauren and Pete discuss ideas of belonging and exclusion and pride and heritage in connection to Lauren's Greek heritage and reporting trips there At about 23:10, Ideas of “insiders” and “outsiders” and the challenges of immigration paperwork are discussed At about 26:05, Pete and Lauren reflect on a powerful quote from Warsan Shire regarding people being impelled to emigrate At about 26:55, Lauren gives background on the conditions that made Moria on the Greek slang of Lesbos a “purgatory” At about 31:20, Demetrios, a representative Greek from the book, and his views on immigration and “speak[ing] bird” is discussed  At about 36:05, Lauren expands upon how Greece as the “starting point of democracy” has been corrupted and co-opted and points to a stellar expose on truth from Kwame Anthony Appiah At about 41:50, The two discuss the arbitrary nature of “The West” and Greece and its ideals and ideas of a “Western lineage At about 43:55, Lauren expands upon the ideas of “proximity to Whiteness” with particular historical relevance for Greeks, Italians, and Southern Europeans At about 44:55, Pete and Lauren reference the horrific images of the Syrian refugee whose death galvanized support, as well as Ali Sayed's story, traced in her book At about 46:40, Lauren explains terminology and methods of doing business by Turkish and other smugglers At about 48:10, Turkish and Greek relations and how they affected the lack of patrols is highlighted  At about 49:20, “The Moria Six” and Ali's story and trials are discussed in relation to the fire referenced at the beginning of the book At about 52:00, The impositions of maps and Empire are reflected upon  At about 53:05, “Whiteness” and its imposition on “classical form” and racist science are explored, as written about in the book At about 54:55, The two trace the initial and later welcome for refugees to Greek islands and ideas of the original meaning of “asylum”; Lauren also highlights many incredible people helping refugees to this day, as well as ideas of “invaders” and scapegoats At about 58:40, Discussion of Greek austerity and true issues of difficulty for are referenced  At about 59:50, The two discuss Lauren's section in the book regarding Darien Gap and connections to Lauren's family's own emigration/immigration story At about 1:02:00, The two highlight ideas of community among refugees, and Pete asks Lauren about pessimism and optimism and the book's title At about 1:03:25, Ali's unfinished story is referenced  At about 1:04:05-Laser Round Questions!

The Missing Thread never relegates women to the sidelines and is populated with well-known names such as Cleopatra and Agrippina, as well as the likes of Achaemenid consort Atossa and Olympias, a force in Macedon. Spanning three thousand years, the story moves from Minoan Crete to Mycenaean Greece, from Lesbos to Asia Minor, from the Persian Empire to the royal court of Macedonia, and concludes with Rome and its growing empire. The women of antiquity are undeniably woven throughout the fabric of history, and in The Missing Thread they finally take center stage. 1806 SAPPHO

Powerful women have always had to play the game a little differently than their male counterparts, but the story of Irene of Athens, who played politics with enough dexterity to become Empress of the Byzantine Empire for about 20 years in the 8th century, is extraordinarily complicated. The daughter of a prominent Greek family, she was brought to Constantinople as a possible bride for the future Emperor Leo IV. The marriage happened, a son was produced, but religious factionalism ultimately tore the marriage apart. Upon Leo IV's death, Irene - as one would - stepped in as regent for their young son, the future Constantine VI. She outwitted Leo's half-brothers who were attempting to install the eldest to the throne by having them ordained as priests, and then took unusual steps to unify her kingdom's faith and pursue friendlier relations with the Carolingian empire in Europe. New conflicts emerged when Constantine VI came of age, a situation that Irene met by undermining his rule and eventually ensuring he met an untimely and painful end. Irene was eventually deposed in 802 and was exiled to the Isle of Lesbos. She spent her final year spinning wool to support herself. Listen ad-free at patreon.com/trashyroyalspodcast.

Le terme "lesbienne" trouve ses origines dans l'Antiquité grecque, spécifiquement sur l'île de Lesbos, en mer Égée. Cette île est célèbre pour avoir été le domicile de la poétesse Sappho, qui a vécu vers le 6ème siècle avant notre ère. Sappho est largement reconnue pour ses poèmes lyriques qui exprimaient des sentiments d'amour et d'affection envers d'autres femmes. Ses écrits, bien que souvent fragmentaires, ont survécu et ont influencé la perception de l'amour entre femmes.Les poèmes de Sappho décrivaient de manière intime et passionnée les relations féminines, et en raison de ces descriptions, l'île de Lesbos et Sappho elle-même sont devenues symboliques de l'amour entre femmes. Les contemporains de Sappho et les générations suivantes ont souvent associé son œuvre à l'amour entre femmes, ce qui a conduit à l'utilisation du terme "lesbien" pour désigner les femmes ayant des relations amoureuses ou sexuelles avec d'autres femmes.Durant l'Antiquité, les écrits de Sappho ont été largement lus et respectés, et son influence a perduré au cours des siècles. Cependant, l'usage moderne du mot "lesbienne" pour désigner l'orientation sexuelle des femmes n'a véritablement pris forme qu'au 19ème et 20ème siècles. Avant cette période, le terme n'avait pas nécessairement une connotation sexuelle explicite.Avec l'émergence des mouvements féministes et des droits des homosexuels à la fin du 19ème siècle et au début du 20ème siècle, le terme "lesbienne" a été adopté pour fournir une identité spécifique pour les femmes homosexuelles, distinct des termes plus généraux comme "gay". Les mouvements sociaux cherchaient à définir et à normaliser diverses orientations sexuelles, et "lesbienne" est devenu un terme reconnu pour les femmes qui sont attirées par d'autres femmes.La popularisation du terme a également été soutenue par la littérature et les études académiques sur Sappho et l'histoire de Lesbos. La communauté LGBT a embrassé le terme pour renforcer la visibilité et l'acceptation des relations homosexuelles féminines. Aujourd'hui, "lesbienne" est un terme largement utilisé et accepté pour décrire les femmes attirées romantiquement ou sexuellement par d'autres femmes, ancrant son origine dans l'histoire riche et poétique de Sappho et de l'île de Lesbos.

En hvid varevogn standser ved kysten på den græske ferieø Lesbos. Maskerede mænd fra den græske kystvagt genner en flok migranter og flygtninge ud – blandt dem en mor med et lille barn i favnen. Og følger dem håndfast ned i en lille, oppustelig redningsflåde uden motor. Og så bliver de ellers sejlet ud på åbent vand og efterladt. Klippet stammer fra en ny dokumentar fra BBC, hvor en række vidner fortæller om, hvor voldsomt den græske kystvagt går til værks for at hindre migranter og flygtninge i at komme ind i landet og videre ind i EU. Det er så den måde, Europa – demokratiets, menneskerettighedernes og humanismens forsvarere – i dag afviser dem, der søger hertil. Dagens gæst i 'Du lytter til Politiken' er Politikens Europakorrespondent Martin Bjørck, som fortæller, hvorfor Danmark også har en del af ansvaret for den græske kystvagts handlinger.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Poétesse antique de génie, Sappho reste mal connue : les Grecs, tout en reconnaissant son talent, ont pris ombrage de sa célébrité ! À partir de ses rares poèmes qui nous sont parvenus, Virginie Girod reconstitue un vrai puzzle pour vous faire découvrir cette artiste qui a tant fait parler d'elle. Sappho naît au VIIe siècle de notre ère. Cette période correspond à “la Grèce archaïque” durant laquelle commence à émerger la polis, la cité, le centre de la vie politique. Côté militaire, c'est le triomphe des hoplites. Les femmes qui ne peuvent être ni citoyens, ni soldats, sont cantonnées au foyer. Issue de l'aristocratie de la cité de Mytilène, sur l'île de Lesbos, Sappho est très attachée à son rang comme en attestent ses écrits. Elle n'hésite pas à y critiquer son frère, qui s'est épris d'une esclave. Sappho elle-même est veuve et tient à jouer un rôle dans la société, en participant à l'éducation des jeunes filles grecques. La poétesse y transmet la poésie, la musique et le chant. Son école, très célèbre, prend le nom d'École des Muses. Ce qui vaut à Sappho, de la part de Platon, le surnom de dixième muse;lLa déesse qui préside symboliquement l'établissement est Aphrodite. Voilà pourquoi Sappho lui dédie un hymne et que la majorité de son œuvre parle d'amour ! La poétesse aurait également entretenu des relations homophiles avec ses élèves, un équivalent de la pédérastie masculine. Ses pratiques, socialement admises, sont donc un non-évènement dans la Grèce de l'époque et le nom de Sappho aurait pu tomber dans l'oubli. C'était sans compter sur plusieurs auteurs antiques grecs puis romains qui la citent ou réécrivent son histoire qui nous est parvenue déformée. Au XIXe siècle, le poète Charles Baudelaire la met à l'honneur dans son sulfureux recueil : Les Fleurs du Mal. C'est avec lui que le mot « lesbienne » prend sa connotation érotique et se popularise !
