Does it matter at all?

oedipusTBAThe year 2011 will probably be known for its quick succession of Euro summits. They all had a similar, tragic outline. Every summit started with good intentions: this would be the summit bringing the solution for the crisis. As a result, expectations ran sky high and financial markets lifted. As the summit came closer, expectations were moderated, ballyhooing tempered, rumors about failures spread, and possible solutions were put into doubt. During – or just before – the summit, it became clear that although some solution was to be expected, it definitely would not be the solution. For a moment markets had seemed relieved after the summits, but within a few days pessimism took over. Instead of restoring confidence the summit had further weakened it: once again it became clear that this was not the final solution; once again a new summit would be needed. Just as in Greek tragedy, every next step seems to bring us closer to the final catastrophe.

Vrijheid en identiteit: een strijdige harmonie

Jos de Mul. Vrijheid en identiteit: een strijdige harmonie. Gastcolumn voor Nationaal Comite Nationaal Comité 4 en 5 mei, 2009 (http://www.4en5mei.nl/)

 ‘Vrijheid en identiteit staan op gespannen voet met elkaar’, lezen we in de toelichting van het Nationaal Comité 4 en 5 mei bij het jaarthema 2009, waarin de relatie tussen de twee genoemde begrippen centraal staat . ‘Als de één zich sterk maakt ten koste van de ander, ontstaat er verstikkingsgevaar. Dan dreigen zowel de vrijheid als de identiteit het loodje te leggen’. Waar individuen of groepen hun identiteit superieur achten en die met verbaal of fysiek geweld aan anderen gaan opleggen, daar wordt de vrijheid van de ander geschonden.  We hoeven niet ver in de geschiedenis terug te gaan om te beseffen welke dramatische gevolgen dit kan hebben. Het is één van de belangrijkste oorzaken van oorlogen. Omgekeerd kan het ruim baan geven aan de eigen vrijheid de identiteit van de ander kwetsen of schenden. In een wereld waarin mobiliteit en media maken dat individuen en groepen met verschillende identiteiten steeds vaker en intensiever met elkaar worden geconfronteerd, leidt dat al snel tot allerlei conflicten.
