Des Black Panthers à l’Arabian Panther : quand Médine en appelle aux leaders du passé pour mener son combat. Une étude de « Self Defense »
In the 2000s, as French society was experiencing a rise in postcolonial demands, politicised French rappers focused their writing on themes such as the history of relationships between Europe and Africa, slavery, colonisation, and the history of immigration. Médine, who is one of these rappers, is committed to defending the cause of victims of exclusion. His keen interest in history makes him think that we have much to learn from the past so as not to repeat the same mistakes in the present. He has made it his duty to keep alive our collective memory and warn us against some official truncated versions of history. His rap “Self Defense”, from the album Arabian Panther (2008), features historical leaders who fought against various forms of oppression and defended their people’s rights.Throughout this rap, Médine establishes a close link between these leaders’ fights and his own, bringing their people together in a kind of symbolic ‘community of the oppressed’. Mixing provocation and political demands all along his rap, he draws our attention to his call for the duty of remembrance, which he finally legitimises by quoting the Taubira law promoting the recognition of the slave trade and slavery as a crime against humanity and asking for the inclusion of these historical facts in school and university curricula

Réveil, réincarnation et restitution : Yves Bonnefoy dans l’Imaginaire musical de Jeremy Thurlow
In his sensitive and original compositions inspired by poems by Yves Bonnefoy, Jeremy Thurlow seems to have intuitively rather than consciously captured the poet’s own longstanding preoccupations, especially his never-ending quest for Presence, which is the cornerstone of his poetic endeavour. In its duplicity, image is a threat to Presence, yet they are inextricably linked. A phenomenologically-inspired analysis, based upon Vladimir Jankélévitch’s insights, reveals that music allows a way out of the closed structures of image and concept. Thurlow’s musical rendering of Bonnefoy’s poetic intuitions enact the true vocation of poetry by allowing the sounds to release their full revelatory potential.
