Il est pass\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019heure d\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 comme une lettre \u00e0 la poste, moi pas. Nous voil\u00e0 de nouveau confin\u00e9s, pourtant il faudrait que je revois mon p\u00e8re, trop isol\u00e9. <\/strong>
\nOur day-to-day life is so similar to itself from day to day that there is nothing very exciting to say: the clocks are changing again and I bear it as best I can, Paul is gardening. He switched to daylight saving time easily, I didn’t. Here we are again confined, yet I would have to see my father again, too isolated.

Paul a plant\u00e9 des kiwa\u00ef il y a quelques ann\u00e9es, ils n\u2019ont encore rien donn\u00e9 mais ils courent et ils courent (les tiges peuvent d\u00e9passer quinze m\u00e8tres de long\u00a0!). Laurent a compl\u00e9t\u00e9 le grillage pos\u00e9 par Paul, en ajoutant une structure en m\u00e9tal en forme de d\u00f4me et une deuxi\u00e8me rang\u00e9e de piquets pour leur donner de l\u2019espace. Et faire aussi pousser de nouveaux plants.<\/strong>
\nPaul planted kiwai a few years ago, they haven’t given anything yet but they run and they run (the stems can be over fifteen meters long!). Laurent completed the wire mesh set by Paul, adding a dome-shaped metal structure and a second row of stakes to give them space. And also grow new plants.

Moins connu que le kiwi, le kiwa\u00ef (actinidia arguta) fait partie de la famille des actinidia, j\u2019ai piqu\u00e9 sur Wikip\u00e9dia la photo comparant la taille du kiwi (le plus gros) et du kiwa\u00ef.<\/strong>
\nLess well known than the kiwi, the kiwai (actinidia arguta) is part of the actinidia family, I took a photo on Wikipedia comparing the size of the kiwi (the largest) and the kiwai.<\/strong><\/span>\"\"<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Je lis beaucoup, je vais vous en dire plus sur \u00ab\u00a0L\u2019appel du cacato\u00e8s noir\u00a0\u00bb de John Danalis, un ouvrage remarquable dont je vous ai donn\u00e9 le titre il y a quelques temps. Paul et moi en avons parl\u00e9 sur Bab\u00e9lio, je reprends presque int\u00e9gralement le texte que nous avons r\u00e9dig\u00e9.<\/strong>
\nI read a lot, I will tell you more about \u00ab\u00a0Riding The Black Cockatoo\u00a0\u00bb by John Danalis, a remarkable book which I gave you the title some time ago. Paul and I spoke about it on Bab\u00e9lio, I take almost the entire text that we wrote.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Blanc, Australien, l\u2019auteur a fort peu c\u00f4toy\u00e9 les Aborig\u00e8nes pendant une quarantaine d\u2019ann\u00e9es sans conna\u00eetre \u00e0 leur sujet autre chose que des clich\u00e9s. C\u2019est presque par hasard, ce hasard auquel il ne croira plus, \u00e0 force, qu\u2019il d\u00e9cide de restituer aux siens un cr\u00e2ne que son collectionneur de p\u00e8re avait expos\u00e9 dans le salon familial et que John a toujours connu.<\/strong>
\nWhite, Australian, the author had little contact with the Aborigines for forty years without knowing anything about them other than stereotype. It is almost by chance, this chance that he will no longer believe, by force, that he decides to return to his family a skull that his collector father had exhibited in the family living room and that John has always known.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Avant la prise de conscience que va faire John Danalis, la pr\u00e9sence du cr\u00e2ne expos\u00e9 chez ses parents le laissait indiff\u00e9rent.<\/strong>
\nBefore the realization that John Danalis is going to make, the presence of the exposed skull in his parents left him indifferent.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Cette restitution du cr\u00e2ne, l\u2019imposante c\u00e9r\u00e9monie qu\u2019elle va g\u00e9n\u00e9rer, de nouvelles amiti\u00e9s avec les Aborig\u00e8nes vont modifier en profondeur l\u2019existence de John. Il prend conscience de la richesse de leur culture et se met \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9tudier avec passion.<\/strong>
\nThis restitution of the skull, the imposing ceremony it will generate, new friendships with the Aborigines will profoundly change John’s existence. He realizes the richness of their culture and begins to study it with passion.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Cela change sa vision du monde.<\/strong>
\nIt changes his view of the world.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00c0 titre de comparaison, il nous sugg\u00e8re de d\u00e9finir ce qu\u2019est l\u2019Europe en quelques paragraphes\u00a0: mission impossible, le sujet est trop riche et complexe. La culture aborig\u00e8ne est tout autant riche et complexe, et elle permet [p 215] \u00ab\u00a0de cohabiter simultan\u00e9ment dans les monde rationnel et spirituel.\u00a0\u00bb <\/em><\/strong>
\nBy way of comparison, he suggests that we define what Europe is in a few paragraphs: mission impossible, the subject is too rich and complex. Aboriginal culture is just as rich and complex, and it allows to coexist simultaneously in the rational and spiritual world.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ce beau r\u00e9cit autobiographique se lit comme un roman, bien \u00e9crit, bien structur\u00e9, \u00e0 l\u2019issue duquel on n\u2019est plus la m\u00eame personne\u00a0: ce qui est vrai pour John Danalis, au terme d\u2019une v\u00e9ritable qu\u00eate initiatique, peut le devenir pour vous ou moi.<\/strong>
\nYou read this beautiful autobiographical story like a novel, well written, well structured, at the end of which we are no longer the same person: what is true for John Danalis, at the end of a real initiatory quest, can become so, for you or me.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pour moi, ce livre est bien plus qu\u2019une occasion de se distraire, ou m\u00eame de se cultiver. C\u2019est un ouvrage d\u2019une grande importance, il pousse \u00e0 une prise de conscience et il doit nous ouvrir l\u2019esprit, suivant en cela la d\u00e9marche de John Danalis. Tous les lecteurs de ce livre ne vont pas n\u00e9cessairement \u00e9migrer en Australie, ni m\u00eame \u00e9tudier \u00e0 fond la culture aborig\u00e8ne, mais peut-\u00eatre allons-nous manifester plus d\u2019attention bienveillante \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9gard de l\u2019Autre, l\u2019\u00e9tranger, l\u2019inconnu.<\/strong>
\nFor me, this book is more than a chance to have fun, or even to cultivate myself. It is a work of great importance, it raises awareness and it should open our minds, following the approach of John Danalis. Not all readers of this book will necessarily emigrate to Australia, or even study Aboriginal culture in depth, but perhaps we will show more benevolent attention to the Other, the stranger, the unknown.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Car nous avons tant \u00e0 apprendre des Aborig\u00e8nes. Mais, au contraire, les Europ\u00e9ens, imbus de leur soi-disant sup\u00e9riorit\u00e9, n\u2019ont pas cherch\u00e9 \u00e0 conna\u00eetre les \u00ab\u00a0sauvages\u00a0\u00bb quand ils ont explor\u00e9 l\u2019Australie\u00a0; ils ont d\u00e9cid\u00e9 que leur niveau d\u2019intelligence \u00e9tait fort bas, que le leur \u00e9tait largement sup\u00e9rieur. Aussi valait-il mieux \u00e9lever les enfants aborig\u00e8nes en les coupant de leur milieu d\u2019origine.<\/strong>
\nBecause we have so much to learn from the Aborigines. But, on the contrary, the Europeans, imbued with their so-called superiority, did not seek to know the \u00ab\u00a0savages\u00a0\u00bb when they explored Australia; they decided that their intelligence level was very low, that theirs was much higher. So it was better to bring up Aboriginal children by cutting them off from their background.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

En janvier 2020, j\u2019avais parl\u00e9 du vol l\u00e9gal d\u2019enfants<\/a> pratiqu\u00e9 dans d\u2019innombrables pays\u00a0: Gro\u00ebnland, Canada, l\u2019Espagne de Franco ou le Chili de Pinochet, Guatemala, Suisse, Angleterre, et bien s\u00fbr France et Australie. Ce ne serait pas surprenant de d\u00e9couvrir que cette pratique existe encore ici ou l\u00e0.<\/strong>
\nIn January 2020, I spoke about the legal theft of children<\/a> practiced in countless countries: Greenland, Canada, Franco’s Spain or Pinochet’s Chile, Guatemala, Switzerland, England, and of course France and Australia. It would not be surprising to find that this practice still exists here and there.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Pour John Danalis, le fait d\u2019enlever de force les enfants aborig\u00e8nes \u00e0 leur famille est un [p118] \u00ab\u00a0g\u00e9nocide culturel et spirituel.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/strong>
\nFor John Danalis, forcibly removing Aboriginal children from their families is a cultural and spiritual genocide.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

La suffisance, l\u2019arrogance du Blanc, John ne manque pas de la rencontrer. Alors que les Aborig\u00e8nes occupent un lieu sacr\u00e9 qu\u2019on veut leur confisquer, une cha\u00eene de t\u00e9l\u00e9vision priv\u00e9e s\u2019installe en esp\u00e9rant avoir du \u00ab\u00a0bien saignant\u00a0\u00bb \u00e0 filmer. Les militants gardent difficilement leur sang-froid alors qu\u2019on les couvre d\u2019insultes et de moqueries afin de filmer une s\u00e9quence sensationnelle.<\/strong>
\nThe complacency, the arrogance of the White, John does not fail to meet it. As the Aborigines occupy a sacred place that they want to confiscate, a private television station sets up, hoping to have \u00ab\u00a0bleeding good\u00a0\u00bb to film. The activists find it difficult to keep their cool as they are showered with insults and mockery in order to film a sensational sequence.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

L\u2019auteur compare le comportement de ses nouveaux amis et celui des citadins stress\u00e9s dont l\u2019existence se poursuit entre nourriture industrielle, embouteillages, course permanente contre la montre. Avec humour et second degr\u00e9, il reconna\u00eet lui-m\u00eame combien il a \u00e9t\u00e9 surpris \u00e0 tel ou tel moment par les Aborig\u00e8nes\u00a0: non, ils ne vivent pas dans des taudis, non ils ne mangent pas des larves d\u2019insectes\u2026<\/strong>
\nThe author compares the behavior of his new friends with that of stressed city dwellers whose existence continues between junk food, traffic jams, and a constant race against time. With humor and second degree, he himself recognizes how much he has been surprised at such and such a moment by the Aborigines: no, they do not live in slums, no they do not eat insect larvae …<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

J\u2019\u00e9prouve moins d\u2019enthousiasme pour \u00ab\u00a0Wanda\u00a0\u00bb, le r\u00e9cit fort conventionnel de Madeleine Mansiet-Berthaud\u00a0: Wanda est une muda muda<\/em>, une m\u00e9tisse. Ce long roman, une fiction, est extr\u00eamement document\u00e9, assez r\u00e9aliste. Une partie se passe en France alors que c\u2019est surtout le personnage de Wanda qui m\u2019int\u00e9resse.<\/strong>
\nI am less enthusiastic about \u00ab\u00a0Wanda\u00a0\u00bb, the very conventional story of Madeleine Mansiet-Berthaud: Wanda is a muda muda<\/em>, a mixed race. This long novel, a fiction, is extremely documented, quite realistic. Part of it takes place in France when it is mainly the character of Wanda that interests me.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
