Context #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardian "The great majority of the world's displaced people flee to the nearest safe place, often another poor or middle-income country: in the past year a million refugees have arrived in Uganda from South Sudan. By far the largest part of the responsibility for those displaced around the Middle East has been borne by neighbouring countries, in particular Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan. Europe has been reluctant and defensive in responding to a crisis for which it is at least partly to blame. There has been a complete failure to agree a fair process for resettlement of refugees across the 28 member states. Greece and Italy have been left, for years now, to manage an unprecedented influx of desperate men, women and children. In an unparalleled international political vacuum, there has been little global leadership." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/dec/01/the-guardian-view-on-refugees-and-migrants-solidarity-not-fear #PhenomnImmigrationRefugee #2010_ArabSpring [Wikipedia] #ToponymAfricaEastUganda #ToponymAfricaNorthSudan #IdentityMiddleEasternAndNorthAfricanMENA #ToponymEastMiddleTurkey #ToponymEastMiddleLebanon #ToponymEastMiddleJordan [Wikipedia] #ToponymEuropeGreece #ToponymEuropeItaly #PhenomnPolicyForeignLeadership

Context #NewspaperUKBrdshtTheGuardianHannaFlint "With that in mind, the criticism of Gadot's casting is understandable. The film industry has long had a frustrating habit of whitewashing history and movies about Cleopatra - thanks to white actors such as Elizabeth Taylor, Hildegard Neil, Claudette Colbert and Vivien Leigh - have cemented her western appearance on screen. Gadot in the role continues this trend, but it's not as clear-cut as that. The actor does tick the box for Middle Eastern and north African (MENA) representation, so she's not as western a choice as either Angelina Jolie or Lady Gaga would have been - who had both previously been linked to the role. But it still perpetuates a white standard of foreignness. It's a situation similar to that of Naomi Scott, an actor of mixed English and Indian ancestry who was cast as Jasmine in the recent Aladdin remake. Scott is just 'other' enough to mean that the film-makers could not be accused of whitewashing (though it's still unclear which ethnicity anyone is meant to be in Disney's orientalist fantasy), but it's still an example of cultural ventriloquism that sees the continued bias towards light-skinned minorities who adhere to a western aesthetic." https://www.theguardian.com/film/2020/oct/14/gal-gadot-cleopatra-backwards-step-for-hollywood-representation #IRLActorElizabethTaylor, #IRLActorHildegardNeil, #IRLActorClaudetteColbert and #IRLActorVivienLeigh #IdentityMiddleEasternAndNorthAfricanMENA #IRLActorAngelinaJolie #IRLCelebrityLadyGaga #IRLActorNaomiScott #2019_Aladdin [Wikipedia] #FictionalCharacterPrincessJasmine #OtheringCaricatureImperialismOriental #BrandDisney #PowerControlExclusionWhitewashing
