ABSTRACT : "Arts Under Pressure: Promoting Cultural Diversity in the Age of Globalization" by Joost Smiers critically examines how globalization and the rise of multinational corporations impact the arts and cultural diversity. Smiers argues that while globalization can foster cross-cultural exchange, it often leads to the commercialization and homogenization of culture, marginalizing local and indigenous traditions. The book discusses the dominance of Western culture in global media and the challenges this poses to diverse cultural expressions. Smiers advocates for policies that support cultural diversity, emphasizing the importance of protecting local traditions and creating spaces for non-mainstream art to flourish in a globalized world.

ABSTRACT : Le roman suit Ka, un poète turc en exil, qui se rend dans la ville reculée de Kars pour enquêter sur une vague de suicides parmi les jeunes femmes religieuses interdites de porter le foulard à l'université, tout en espérant retrouver son amour de jeunesse, İpek. Alors qu'une tempête de neige coupe Kars du monde extérieur, Ka se retrouve pris dans un huis clos intense où les tensions politiques éclatent entre les militaires séculiers, les nationalistes, et les factions islamistes menées par le charismatique "Blue". Le récit est une méditation poignante sur les conflits identitaires de la Turquie, explorant la solitude, l'art, la foi et l'amour face à la violence idéologique et au dilemme de choisir entre les valeurs occidentales et les traditions orientales.
