Enseigner, c’est un acte de résistance | Tounès Thabet | TEDxCarthage


[Music]

hello to all i would like to start

by a question why does it take

to learn imperfect subjunctive

like that you’re happy I’ll go

propose an exercise to combine this gift

good choosing a simple sentence

I need to see ex carthage

putting this sentence in the past so we

can choose what you want me I’ll

offer you would have had he

I had to attend

ben that we hints passion he

assisted circumflex accent was so

even if the sounds without

boring grammar and conjugation

no reason that reason knows

good

so why do we have to learn the

part of the subjunctive

why do you have to learn his grammar

and the conjugation because grammar and

conjugation structure thought

they allow him to be convincing

relevant to be convincing audible

relevant insightful he gives her of

momentum

he gives him wings they him

allow to fly to get up to

we to reach us from

transform our world view and

so to transform the world

obviously when I talk about thinking I

speaks of thought free of thought

enlightened thinking based on the

logical reasoning

you know that logic and the

geometry of intelligence so a

thought that is built on a

logical reasoning not only about

logical reasoning but on a

solid argument and also on a

vision of the world in which man

is at the center of reflection

does that mean what does it mean that my

know his grammar and his

conjugation is not to arrive at

express a thought or in any case

this thought would be and not thought because

a staggering thought that whispers

that they nitpick a thought that

stammering who hesitates

a thought that does not arrive at

to express oneself and an atrophied thought is

a thought affirms and so she carries

in itself its own gag and

so the thought will reach us how

she will reach us through

learning to read and

writing

learn to read and write and to

right but it’s also a duty

it’s a categorical imperative it’s

vital why because when we

learns to read and write

one can exercise one’s freedoms as

that citizen without it we can not

not

because to be a citizen you have to

exercise freedom and liberties there

you have to know the law you have to

able to read the law and defend themselves and

defend against overtaking

against arbitrariness imagine that you

be arrested at 4 am

coming out of a party and that a policeman

because your head does not please him

asks you from the campaign to the position of

police

and tell you I ‘m going to warn you

at sight how can you you

defend how you pay you can

you defend yourself

if you do not know the procedure

if you do not vote the articles of

laws that can who can you

allow you to free yourself

read it is not only read the

newspaper or read a bill it’s also

read the beautiful texts the great texts

classics read montesquieu read or

so read and read eluard read aragon

read chef by l’ ird wish read goethe read

Hemingway Hemingway Read Caesar Read

senghor read slippery must I find

an example with a woman andrée chedid

so these texts enclose the beautiful

thought the answer is intense

why is she so beautiful

that it expresses the beautiful what is the

beautiful the beautiful is an emotion

aesthetic that we all feel

when we are in front of a beautiful

landscape or when we listen to a

song or when we read a beautiful

text

the bo is both specific and

universal we share it is in

actually the end there and when we

we read we look at one another

painting when we listen to a poem

in fact we project from in our

inside

and that’s why we like it and

that’s why this beautiful is going us

transport will take us away will us

make you want to live will give us

want to fly and that’s the end

I put a genius to teach my

students

I hope I have succeeded

let’s not forget that thought is not

always free and enlightened that binds to

the unique thought

this unique thought that imposes itself by the

force by censorship by censorship

implacable

because in dictatorial regimes

whose regimes in which freedom of

thought is not respected one does not

not to think otherwise than the

thought that is imposed so this this

thought is going to use hard means that

are repression and oppression for

impose her thought on her but the

enlightened thought and there as a

bulwark against those hard moments that we

happens to live that we have lived

we during decades death and

where you had to hide to say what

we think where it was very hard

taught because it had to be tricky

a little bit we had to try to do

reach the message to students without

to enter the debate

policy

so she teaches us a form of

resistance

I am going to give you an example

I remember an explanation of

text it was eluard’s poem

freedom you know this poem that

start with on my school notebooks

on my desk the trees I write your

name

and then after there is a long long

long long enumeration of all

supports on which it

would like to write this dream this desire to

freedom because this dirt writes

in a difficult context of

the occupation the resistance under

the German occupation during the

second world war and in the end

from the explanation I asked my

students and where would you like

write the word freedom and I had a

nice gift because I had some

answers like on my forehead on my

lips on the door of my house

and it was beautiful why because this

text that speaks of a context has been

transposed by students into their

context ap

this poem tell them about themselves

difficulties he encounters with their

desire for freedom and what more beautiful

gift that that offers you the

students

and then when in diets

dictatorial of painful after having

walked a tortured and tortuous path

happens a beautiful day when the word arrives

where speech is finally allowed one day

of rescue

as I experienced on January 14, 2011

during this long demonstration of

waves and waves of protesters with

the same slogans with the same desire

with the pressure of being strong is

to have defeated a dictator there is a

slogan that came to my mind

under the pavement the beach this slogan there

it’s one of the most beautiful slogans

alone in May 68 in France

look at the desire the strong desire

how he gives birth to so beautiful

sentence under the pavement the beach is at

say life the dream and we have

reinvent his life

and then greens came in my

head

once back home I have the i

I put them on a paper and

that’s what my saying says

text

so I wanted everyone to know

that all over the world know that

tunisie we are standing we are here we have

defeated we do not live on our knees

tell them said when the season of the

anger rumbles

tell them that spring is in

advance tell them that jasmine has

bloomed in the heart of january tell them

that fragrance gives hope

tell them we’ll be more

exploded and only tell them that under the

cobblestone budding stars

tell them that shine on them

rips his seed of shards of

to laugh

tell them that our cries brave their

weapons tell them that our tears are only

more bitter tell them we have

torn our muzzle tell them that

we pushed the walls of our

sands is dug up the light

[Applause]

[Music]

remember that thinking thought

unique is also a dogmatic thought

dogmatic fanatics and that she uses

the fear and it paralyzes peoples

and she uses the force that he uses

terror and that he uses death

do not forget that countries have been

sacrificed peoples have been

sacrificed thinkers have been

sacrificed never forget that they

have paid for us so that today

we can express ourselves

and we are here to allow

future generations of power

to express themselves too but do not forget that

the best bulwark against this thought

who kills against this thought that

burn the books against this thought

which destroys the traces of the past that

destroys the memory that destroys what

we are what we were

story there is resistance and that

free and sovereign thought must

prevail

why because it is shared because

that communications

because she is she develops the

live together because to build

a world we have to be

together

not only because sharing but

because she’s on our dignity

our fundamental freedoms and our

freedom as a citizen of the world and

citizens of a country

so then cultivating the thought of the

life and hope against the thought of

death do not be paralyzed do not

not giving up staying alert

intellectually never capitulating

never the capitulant on the plane

intellectual and especially you embarrass say

you that your strength

it’s sweet it’s to be able to yourself

to be the craftsmen of your life of your

choosing your desire from your dreams of

what you want to accomplish for this

country and for the world and that the world

depends on yourself and even if there is

hopes helplessness difficulty

do not forget to cultivate hope six

years the hope of son’s spines

silk and ten years we

despite everything that happens to us despite

all the disappointments the difficulties

as aragon says one day yet a

day will come and I quote it one day

yet a day will come colors

of orange one day of palm of foliage

offering one day bare poles or

men will sow a day like a bird

on the highest branch

[Applause]
