  • Chapter 1 , Tremé, New Orleans, and Post-Katrina Catharsis
    2017
    Co-Authors: Gendrin Dominique M., Catherine Dessinges, Shearon Roberts
    Abstract:

    Author of the television drama The Wire, David Simon with Eric Overmyer launched a new series entitled Treme on the American channel HBO in April, 2010. Located in the heart of New Orleans, Tremé is a neighborhood known for its unique cultural, social, and historical context. It is the oldest African American neighborhood in the United States, the birthplace of the Black Civil Right Movement in the South and the home of Jazz. Categorized as a drama by David Simon, the series is a work of fiction. Yet it also depicts day-to-day life in New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina, referencing real events, real people, real places, and real cultural symbols. Relying on the work of Schaeffer and Esquenazi, this article links fiction to reality with an analysis of historical truths though fictional characters’ narratives. With this methodology, we examine the film-makers’ perspective, and uncover the political intentionality of the series as an act of denunciation against the dysfunctions of the local, state, and federal institutions in responding to the Katrina catastrophe. The political message of the series is also an act of testimony and homage about the daily lives and struggles of New Orleanians in a post-Katrina era.

    Abstract:

    Cok katmanli bir surec olarak demokratiklesme pek cok Afrika ulkesinde istikrarsizlik gostermektedir ve hala bazi ulkelerde herhangi bir zamanda ve yerde demokrasinin kesintiye ugramasi soz konusudur. Insan hakki olarak din ozgurlugu ve dini kurumlarin bagimsizligi demokrasinin kalitesinin test edilebilecegi bir alandir. Bu makalede hem toplum hem de kamu hayatinda dinin onemli bir rolunun bulundugu Etiyopya’da dini kurumlarin manipulasyonunun demokratiklesme surecini nasil etkiledigi ele alinmistir. Din ve dini kurumlarin ve din-demokrasi iliskisinin modellerle izah edildigi bu calisma, dini kurumlarin manipulasyonunun daha bebekligini yasayan Etiyopya demokrasisini nasil zor durumda biraktigini ve iktidar partisinin demokratik kurallara ve parti programina bagliligini nasil test ettigini aciklayan bir kuramsal temele dayanmaktadir. Henuz uc yillik bir hareketi olan Musluman Sivil Haklar Hareketi ve onemli bir gosterge olarak hukumet tepkisi uzerine ayrintili cozumlemeler yapilmistir. Sonuc olarak, devletin din islerine kehanete varacak duzeyde mudahalesinin ve temel dini ozgurluklerin bastirilmasinin ulkenin demokratiklesme sureci acisindan riskli oldugu dusunulmektedir. Bu nedenle, hukumetin vatandaslarin demokratik taleplerini karsilamada yetersiz kalmasi hem demokratiklesme surecinin gerilemekte oldugunu hem de iktidar partisinin siyasi programina ve anayasaya bagli kalarak bir yonetim sergileyemedigini gostermektedir
