A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

The world oftener rewards the appearance of merit than merit itself.
 
[Le monde récompense plus souvent les apparences du mérite que le mérite même.]

François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶166 (1665-1678) [tr. Bund/Friswell (1871)]

#Israel’s #Recognition of #Somaliland marks more than a diplomatic breakthrough. It signals a strategic return to the #HornOfAfrica as the #RedSea, #Houthi threat & #Iran reshape Israel’s #security calculations after #October7.

🪩 VCC Panel in collaboration with ImPulsTanz Festival: Who’s Behind the Beat? Recognition & Visibility in Club Culture 🪩

🪩 Wednesday, 05.08.2026, 20:00-21:30
🪩 Burgtheater Vestibül (Universitätsring 2)
🪩 Admission: Free

🔉Cultural practices of music and dance are circulating at unprecedented speed through clubs, festivals and digital platforms. While this creates new approaches and connections, the histories, communities and contexts behind the sounds often lose visibility along the way.


This also raises questions of recognition and attribution: how are cultural origins acknowledged when music travels, and what forms of credit, visibility and responsibility matter today, beyond legal frameworks such as copyright?

This conversation asks how DJs, dancers, artists and organisers can contextualise music and movement in meaningful ways. Bringing together perspectives from club culture, dance, and research, the panel explores how context can deepen our understanding and experience, while engaging with them in ways that acknowledge and honour their histories.

Moderation:
Nadine Abena Cobbina @gaze.wien 


Speakers: 

Pia Raddatz – @[email protected]

"The #union it describes never existed." A new #analysis by #lawyer @MadeySiyad argues #Somalia's 1960 union lacked a valid #legal foundation, reigniting debate over #Somaliland's #Sovereignty, #Recognition, & the future of the #HornOfAfrica.

🎉🚀 Behold! Korea's first PC, the SE-8001—a groundbreaking, mind-blowing, slightly modified foreign machine from 1981—finally gets its overdue #recognition as a *National Important Scientific and Technological Material*. 🌟 Because nothing screams "progress" like commemorating a 40-year-old piece of tech that most people today wouldn't even know how to plug in. 🙄👏

What if I told you that when I am older, I will likely suffer from dementia, because nowadays in my twenties I experience chronic loneliness issues or symptoms that people don't recognise. I wish it was easy to say that I am wealthy and happy, but no. Maybe this vent will be lost into the echo.

Nettie Stevens, the scientist who never got credit.
Recognition doesn’t always follow achievement.

Her work changed how science understands biological development, yet her name rarely appears.

«Meta Silently Added Face-Recognition Code for Its Smart Glasses to Millions of Phones:
Code reviewed by WIRED uncovered an unreleased face-recognition system embedded in Meta’s smart glasses platform. It’s designed to identify people via biometric data stored on users’ phones.»

Now do not explain to me that this is useful and convenient. Especially for third parties who are unintentionally recorded.

An #Israeli @real_IHN_isback is urging #Somaliland to protect its #Sovereignty as int'l interest in the territory grows. Drawing on #Israel's experience with #USDiplomacy, he argues that #Recognition efforts should remain firmly under SL's control & warns against allowing foreign powers to dictate its political future. #Geopolitics #HornOfAfrica #RedSea #ForeignPolicy
