mandela
my sentences also pronounced or first
tea ed in 1984 at monterrey and everyone
of us a dream at a time
given and my dream
from the second class
it was to become a geographer it
seems strange even the world to
the time
and probably for you geography
may not be the discipline the
more exciting and often of
call the department of
geography telling me what is the
height of long white two months to little
near 4807 or 4810 also serves for the
ice cream or not but I was told but we
wants and we do a quiz we want the
exact answer i do not have them my
geography to me it’s a geography
everyday everyday life of my
family
if we had been in the morning I would have
talked about the geography of the little
lunch you have all the morning when
you have time a breakfast at
take a good look at where the coffee is coming from
where does whence the taz or via
and you will walk through
the world
your breakfast will be fabulous
and me what I want to do is you
do a geography that you can
all make my family by chance my
married my grandfather was born in
1884 it’s a straw and he does
did not know you had never seen the
blue planet that does not want that
it was he had never seen the earth
I think he thought she was
round but he had never seen as
we and the brave Vosgian man saw a
times the sea in his life he accompanied
his son at the harbor when the son was leaving
to study and he went to
lyon during the debacle
because we forced him to leave his
native vosges to go to lyon
so his son travels so my dad
he was born in 14
he lived in belforte almost all his
life especially the mayor has him
largely once his life belfortaine
assume he has benefited greatly from the world
because he was able to study at
united states that he worked during
the war for the allied forces
Americans and because of this he was able to
to travel a little bit and I put the
son and me the carbon coefficient is
no good I admit it a
geographer do not have a good
carbon coefficient I traveled from
the world
very often but I think it’s
essential
a geographer where everyone must
recognize the local and the world
the local and the global is doing
go back and that’s why I
am very happy to be here because
I go back to my local where I
lived for 18 years so I read
a few times and the books
some authors found at the
book fair by the way more than
mine who have a lot more success
it’s a book of ormesson jeans that
tells how he lived in the golds
of the republic of embassies or
consulates and then how he did his
underpants hypokhagne how he got
was in high schools
how he did all the big
schools coming out of belfort I did not know what
what was it like I did not know what is
ena does not prevent what I have
did I go to school in belfort and
the high school we called two boys
at that time since there was a
high school girls at the time too
was a very nice place and
high level teachers they
were not all aggregated but
dedicated who trained me who want
made you want to do geography
after instead of going to paris room to
the university of franche comté there
had a train to go to besançon
reasons of proximity remain the most
important
and then I also came across
good thinkers and then friends of the
as you have all the students who
are present low students have
makes a high shot a little
group of eight or nine credit but
why would not we go there greg to
paris there greg must have done cagnes
confers normal sup
a small group that means a network
who gets along what is it 10
is a 16 out of the nine we had all
nine the aggregation of almost the first
blow everything for what and we were put
sticks in the wheels in Paris I
will tell you when we arrived for
the oral lessons what are we
said you ‘re going to remove the books to
the library
but normal people sup had them all
removed so we do not have them
luckily in belfort we had
many Alsatians we speak
German
we spoke English I took
books in German in English
result we had the aggregation
directly the huge alias have ironed
the year after a good revenge
peripheries I believe that from time to time
time they make a little fun with this
case there and the result beats
the university of franche-county taught me
opened doors and meeting
the old franc comtois to héricourt who
was worried doyenne the fume cupboard and
told me you can have a scholarship for
the united states
and yes we go and here we redid
new network
leaving from belfort network franc comtois
network world I missed wool I have not
do the ena
I did not do normal sup but I
am created a world network what is
much more important
I was able to live various systems on
system the united states system
canadian politics political system
of the Swiss political system the
France is well the education of
geographers teaches us a lot of
things
in France if you want to be someone
I took so earlier he
must go through paris must climb
even if you are in a union
anything goes up goes up from
way to be at the top of the sq that I
put it in the hierarchy of power and
years at the top of the hierarchy of power
and it’s important to compare
systems this is the last
regionalization that surprised me in
surprised you a lot fr francois comtois
belfortain you are with people from
nevers
have felt a lot of crooked atoms I
think about the question I’m asking myself
it’s you franc comtois or belfortains
and you franc frank game if you
could violate you do you feel
bourguignon do you feel vosgien
do you feel Alsatian you are you
feel it from her strong question table
still important if we wanted to
Switzerland m two regions two cantons
together I do not know who would have the right
to do it and we could not do it
without a vote of people it takes
time
look at the history of Jura
pass next to you township
of jura was born of a divorce a little this
that claims the catalonia of a divorce
started in the seventies
nine hundred and sixty seventy and
The epilogue it ends and there to
a month with the attachment of moutier
or canton of Jura give it the power
comes from the top crushes everything and that’s where
the game finds the drama federation
confederation what is it
what we want from the local of the global is this
that we all want imposed from above
or do we let a breath
to the regions question I ask myself
before saying that all of this creates
discomfort discontent I was
recently in Alsace or
Alsatian these Alsatians it’s when
even a real region
I think if we have one
at one time I came in
this room the Alsatians too and when
a young girl was asked to
to dance to that was done at the time in
asked did not answer me if
precisely m then nothing you can
game is not always successful years to
you see it and and it was a
period is interesting and I put it
in light with what’s going on I
says if we neglect the local over neglects
the peripheries what happens if at
more services at more than
doctors if they support hospitals
I support the post there is more I could
in lengthy you have beautiful
examples in France with the massif
central are you amazed that people
feel that throw not look good
what happened to the bric site
if you look at the map again in
geography the break card if it’s
the old industrial region of
central England who voted
for there have not seen strangers
he just opens there are abandoned
london voted against the break site
echoes too you have a lesson
geography on the map you can
to do some parallel with the
France look I take another
example that you all know of a
good president america sir trump
who was elected by whom the map of
united states is the center the center
rural old industrial region that
have voted all the states of the center have
voted trump the red zone she is there
the east coast voted basically
democrat west coast to vote
democrat
look done a careful analysis
watch
came back the levels the industries and
you are back in
peripheries forgot then the lesson
geographical which is mine that I
give tonight it’s never forget the
peripheries unfortunately our men
policies
in many centralized countries are
all formed the same molds a mold
of centralization a mold where one imposes
from above the regionalization and effect
decided to end in one night
you know this is not tolerable
for the geographer one must ask you
your opinion but to do this it
the local should be able to express itself
from local to global we come back to the local
that we can better understand holds
others
the local sound to you thank you
