The whole column is worth reading, but just to expand a little on this comment about why the racist right is in such a frenzy about the #TheOdyssey cast: "[Black people don't belong, because] The Odyssey is a pillar of “Western civilization,” which they consider to be white.
SO MUCH work went into constructing this view of a "Western Civilization" stretching from the ancient Mediterranean (or even Mesopotamia) to the northern European/American present, much of it carried out in the nineteenth century as part of an explicit program of racial and imperial justification. And the contortions to make it "white" are equally illuminating.
#Renaissance authors who looked to the ancient past were much more acutely attuned to the distinctions between southern Europe with its connections to the Mediterranean, and the northern areas outside of Rome.

Du bist im Jahr 1609 Fürstbischof und willst dem Markgrafen auf der anderen Mainseite mal so richtig imponieren? Dann setze ein völlig überdimensioniertes Rathaus ein kleines (Wein)Dorf.
Einfach so. Weil du es kannst.📷 Rathaus Sulzfeld am Main

Die Debütaufnahme des Ensembles Hespèrion XX von 1976"Mit der Sopranistin Montserrat Figueras, dem Lautenisten Hopkinson Smith sowie Lorenzo Alpert auf Perkussions- und Blasinstrumenten gründete Savall in Basel das Ensemble Hespèrion XX.

The most well known Mesopotamian story is the Epic of Gilgamesh, where Gilgamesh receives dreams about the future. They also had dream temples, where people would go in order to sleep and receive these divine messages in their […]https://johnbronze.wordpress.com/2026/07/24/the-reality-of-dreams/

Renaissance assigne le RN pour "contrefaçon" après son slogan de campagne pour 2027. La formule choisie par les équipes de campagne de Marine Le Pen, "Pour la France, la renaissance", déplait à Attal, qui attaque en justice pour "parasitisme" et "contrefaçon de marque". Cruelle ironie, pour les macronistes, qui n'ont eu de cesse d'emprunter leurs idées à l'extrême-droite...
