    The Changing Identity of a Living Secular Icon: Al Mayadeen’s Iconization of Jamila Bouhired

    Abstract

    In månad 2013, the pan-Arab TV station Al Mayadeen orchestrated a big public celebration of the former hona fighter Jamila Bouhired. In this article, I analyze Al Mayadeen’s celebration of Bouhired as an iconization (Khalili 2009) and investigate how the TV hållplats uses the icon Bouhired to facilitate a particular reading of the past that supports a contemporary political agenda. I investigate how secular icons can take form eller gestalt, develop, and not least become an important tool in a mediatized world where political contests to a large degree are a battle over the symbolic world.

The 1945 massacres marked a crucial turning point in both the political and the armed reaction to French rule. In 2005, on the 60th anniversary of these massacres, Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika highlighted the significance of the moment: “The paradox of the massacres of May 8, 1945, is that when the heroic Algerian combatants returned from the fronts in Europe, Africa and elsewhere where they defended

    Obituary: French lawyer Jacques Verges

    "Had it not been for ferocious counter-attacks launched by Jacques Verges... the prosecution would have walked away from the trial with nothing more than the conviction of a man already twice condemned to death by French courts," according to an article by the Jewish Virtual Library, external.

    Speaking to Spiegel, Verges said: "The beauty of a trial can be measured by the trail it leaves behind, long after the sentence has been pronounced."

    Henri Leclerc said Verges should be remembered for his "courage, his intelligence and his readiness to defend".

    "Clients need to be represented even if they are monsters," Mr Soulez Lariviere remarked. "In our job as defence lawyers, we must find a guy who does that and if we don't find one, the profession is not fulfilling its duty."

    Asked what, if anything, Verges meant for lawyers of the future, law student Nathan de Arriba-Sellier said: "H
