The map is not the territory

Michel Gurfinkiel, writer, political analyst and president of Jean Jacques Rousseau Institute, in his last column refers to Kabylia and its temporary Government.

"The map is not the territory," said the Polish-American logician Albert Korzybski. Geological, military, road, political, maps "represents" space selectively, thus approximate. But more often, we forget this obvious truth.

A first example, borrowed from the news: the Belgian crisis. Our maps tell us that the EU is a vast area of peace, democracy, freedom and fraternity. And that Brussels is the capital.

Of the Importance of Strong Relations between Japan and Kabylia

Kabylia is a region in Algeria situated on the central Mediterranean coast. It covers a surface of 40 000 km2 and has 10 million inhabitants out of a total of 30 million people in Algeria. Like Spanish, French, Italian and Greek people, Kabylians are Mediterranean in culture since the dawn of history. Kabylia is very attractive and its people are as friendly as Japanese people. The Kabylian hospitality is legendary. As a country of mountains and of a temperate climate, Kabylia lends itself to tourism because of the beauty of its coastal sites and its landscape. With a coast of 200 km, Kabylia would have succeeded to become one of the most prosperous regions in the world if only it could free itself from the traditional opposition of the racist Algerian Anti-Kabylian authorities to its economic development and cultural identity.
