France was one of seven countries to participate in the first Eurovision Song Contest in 1956
Since then they have participated in every contest aside from 1974 and 1982
Their withdrawal in 1974 was caused by the death of President Georges Pompidou
while 1982’s withdrawal was a result of TF1 declining to enter the contest
France has won the contest on five occasions
the most recent being in 1977 when Marie Myriam performed “L’oiseau et l’enfant”
France’s best result of the 21st century came in 2021 when Barbara Pravi finished second in Rotterdam

French President Emmanuel Macron condemned a deadly attack in the city of Mulhouse in eastern France on Saturday
describing it as an “Islamic terrorist act.”
“Following the terrorist attack in Mulhouse, I wanted to express my condolences to the victims’ families and express the solidarity of the entire nation,” Macron said late Saturday
He said there was “no doubt” that the incident was “a terrorist act,” specifically “an Islamic terrorist act.”
The attack took place on Saturday in Mulhouse
when a man armed with a knife killed one person and injured several others
“Horror has just gripped our city,” Mulhouse Mayor Michèle Lutz said in a post on Facebook
According to the National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT)
which has taken charge of the investigation
the attacker is a 37-year-old Algerian-born man who was already on a terrorism watchlist and subject to deportation orders
PNAT said the suspect first attacked municipal police officers, shouting “Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest). Witnesses later confirmed to AFP that the suspect had shouted the phrase multiple times
A civilian passerby who tried to intervene was fatally wounded
Macron said that the French government will continue its work “to eradicate terrorism from our soil.”
“The European Union is concerned at the planned extension of the operation by Israeli forces in Gaza,” a Commission spokesperson says.
“Excellent result,” cheers former Polish PM Mateusz Morawiecki.
U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to end the conflict have proved fruitless so far.
An uptick in gang violence has seen more than a dozen shootings so far this year.

(CNN) — One person has died and several are wounded following a knife attack at a town market in eastern France, in what French authorities have described as an act of terror.
“Horror has just gripped our city. A man attacked passers-by at the covered canal market with a knife, several municipal police officers who intervened to neutralize him were also injured,” Mulhouse town mayor Michèle Lutz said in a statement Saturday on Facebook.
The suspect has been arrested and is currently in police custody, according to a press release by the office of France’s national anti-terror prosecutor.
The attacker had targeted several municipal police officers, shouting “Allahu Akbar,” as well as a passerby, the prosecutor’s office said. A civilian has died, and three officers are injured.
French President Emmanuel Macron expressed condolences to the victim’s family, adding that France’s national anti-terror prosecutor is looking into the case.
Macron also described the attack as “no doubt, an Islamic terrorist act, given the terrorist’s words.”

PARIS — French Prime Minister François Bayrou will hold an emergency meeting Wednesday to draw up a response to a deadly weekend knife attack in the Alsatian city of Mulhouse
The alleged perpetrator of the incident is a 37-year-old Algerian citizen
a French Interior Ministry representative said
Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau said the suspect had a “schizophrenic profile” and had previously been expelled from France — but was subsequently barred from entering Algeria by local authorities
“The Mulhouse assassin had been presented 10 times to the Algerian authorities so that his country of origin would accept that we send him back home,” Bayrou told reporters on Monday during a visit to the Paris International Agricultural Show
The attack, which President Emmanuel Macron described as an act of Islamist terrorism
has reignited debate in France on whether to rein in immigration amid a Europe-wide shift to the right
How the government responds will likely affect its increasingly strained relationship with Algeria
and could have political ramifications for Bayrou and the increasingly popular Retailleau
who is vying for the lead of his conservative party
Retailleau pinned the incident on what he called France’s insufficiently tough immigration laws
Enough is enough,” Retailleau said as he arrived in Mulhouse Saturday evening
Perhaps because of this, the interior minister’s stance on immigration has been backed by key members of Macron’s centrist camp and by high-ranking government officials — including the prime minister. Bayrou even took fire from the left last month for claiming it felt like parts of France were being “flooded” with migrants
The shift in attitude toward migration isn’t limited to France. Across the border in Germany, incoming conservative Chancellor Friedrich Merz has vowed to close the country’s borders to asylum seekers after an Afghan man was accused in January of attacking a group of preschoolers in a park
stabbing to death a 2-year-old boy and a man attempting to protect the children
and the historic performance of the far-right Alternative for Germany
were seen as both a vindication of his strategy and confirmation of Europe’s increasingly anti-immigrant tilt
Many French ministers have been reticent to publicly discuss policy specifics ahead of Wednesday’s meeting, although government spokesperson Sophie Primas told RTL on Monday that authorities may consider limiting the number of visas granted to Algerian nationals
Primas added that Bayrou’s government is also considering increasing the length of time authorities can detain undocumented migrants to allow for more time to negotiate repatriations
Foreign Affairs Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said Wednesday ahead of the meeting that he would propose European-wide visa restrictions for countries who refuse to cooperate with French immigration authorities
He also proposed to reduce tariffs for countries more willing to cooperate
A report from the French Court of Auditors estimated that only about 10 percent of expulsion measures had resulted in individuals actually leaving France
“When you deliver an order to leave French territory
you need the country where the person is being deported to issue a consular pass,” said Charly Salkazanov
Salkazanov said the astonishingly low repatriation rate was due in part to the shaky legal justification for some deportation orders and the fraught diplomatic relations between France and many of the countries where it seeks to deport undocumented people
Retailleau has launched his own public crusade against the Algerian authorities, accusing them in January of seeking to “humiliate” France by refusing to accept an Algerian national expelled from French territory
The individual was detained for sharing videos on TikTok urging his followers to harm a critic of the Algerian regime
A series of Algerian nationalist content creators have since been arrested and are being prosecuted at Retailleau’s request
The field of candidates hoping to succeed Emmanuel Macron is starting to take shape two years ahead of the next election
Bruno Retailleau attended campaign events before traveling to the scene of the crime
researchers to France were quickly criticized by members of the research community
The French president said he has not considered the possibility of dissolving parliament again

A knife attack in the eastern French city of Mulhouse has left at least one person dead and several persons injured

“The Somatics of Bhanu Kapil’s Emigrant/Immigrant Line”
“It is arrival in reverse to approach an ocean
There are places to curl up in under a cliff
and in the morning you will be covered with starfish opening and closing all over your body
begin positing what a critical poetics of Bhanu Kapil[1]’s writings with a focus on issues of migration might look like
to take migration as both physical and stylistic
including literary migration between forms and formats of expression
how Incubation: A Space for Monsters could be read as a mode of re-visiting Donna Haraway’s A Cyborg Manifesto or even rewriting it from the point of view of the cyborg herself
why filming then writing in the location of the “Bengali Wolf Girls” gave rise to Humanimal: A Project for Future Children
a parallel arises in her many notes/instructions and the moments of placing her body (à la Ana Mendieta) in a space
examining the red flowers wilting and locating in that cycle of life/death “A book of time
for time and because of it./A book for recovery from an illness
A book that repeats a sentence until that sentence recuperates its power to attract
other sentences./ A book as much poetry as it is a forbidden or unfunded area of research.”
The body and the written word have always been intimately
Kapil’s writing has always been a form of open-ended interrogation
including works that even emerge from asking others
as in her first book Vertical Interrogation of Strangers
many authors explore hybrid genres and practices which expand into performance then return to the book
What Kapil’s work does which is unique to this exploration is to deny that any difference between on and off the page
the written the read and the being written exist in any way as separate from the body
The tactile materiality of the world itself and language are one
as her citing of Alfonso Lingis’ Abuses opens Humanimal: “They open up a body that is a lesion in the tissue of words and discourses and the network of powers”
As Kapil explains quite directly in an interview: “I want a form that […] lets the sentence be the place where the dirt
This conference will thus deliberately focus on a broad reading of the issues
stylistic aspects and echoes both on and off of the page of Bhanu Kapil’s writing and performance work as it relates specifically to the somatics of her immigrant/emigrant line
It invites new understandings to probe the more analytic end of Kapil’s intertextuality and mobility
including the way it exists in a dialogic space with works across a variety of genres
We invite contributions on a range of topics
- Questions regarding borders/citizenship and nomadism;
--Tandem issues with the above focusing on emigration/immigration & repatriation;
- Talks which take a specific look at “the experiences of diaspora communities in India
- Issues regarding movement / migration and hitchhiking;
-The enigmatic in Kapil: and its relationship to understanding
- Kapil’s work as a form of trauma writing (or post-trauma writing);
- Questions of self-knowledge and definition (or self-annihilation) in Kapil’s writing;
- Scars of language and body alongside notions of narratives as potential modes for healing (both as read and written);
- Kapil’s relationship to the (inside-out) Feminist Cyborg theories of Donna Haraway and (outside-in) cognitive science-based cyborg theories of Andy Clark
- Kapil’s works as fictional (auto)biography;
- Questions of otherness and monstrosity and/or Cyborgs in Kapil;
- the response to folklore in Kapil’s work;
- Reflections on Kapil’s reinventions of genre
or even a perceived progression in her work;
- The interrogation of other (and self) in Kapil’s works;
- How the political and the artist coincide;
- Kapil’s works as forms of metamorphosis;
- Topics of memory and temporality in Kapil;
- Intermedial methodologies in her oeuvre (on and off the page);
- Racism and violence in Kapil’s writing;
- Hospitality and community vs assimilation;
- Writing as a mode of healing;
- (Linguistic study of ) metaphors and/or imagery in Kapil’s work;
- The use and significance of specific colors in Kapil’s works;
-Writing as a mode of becoming; writing towards girlhood;
- Embodied cognition in Kapil’s works;
- Kapil’s books as radical forms of travelogue

Cars are a family affair according to the Prince

Goodbye Strasbourg, hello Mulhouse! Prince Albert II was at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg earlier this week
He took advantage of his trip to Alsace to pay a visit to the Musée National de l’Automobile (French National Automobile Museum) in Mulhouse
where there is a temporary exhibition entitled ‘From Monaco to Mulhouse: The Prince Albert II Collection’
The Sovereign was able to tour the exhibition
in which around twenty cars from his personal collection are on display
including the Lexus LS 600h hybrid that was used in Prince Albert II and Princess Charlène’s wedding parade
One car holds a special place in the Sovereign’s heart: the Renault Floride
‘It brings back happy memories from my childhood
Princess Grace let Caroline and I borrow it to go to a party at a friend’s house

but it’s very true.’ Sandrine Wymann knows a thing or two about this: she has been running La Kunsthalle Mulhouse
in the French city on the border with Switzerland and Germany
it is sometimes called the ‘Manchester of France’
contemporary art was still finding its feet: how best to adapt to this changing landscape
whose title translates from the Arabic as ‘Atom-Flower-Mountain’
the Moroccan artist invokes the imaginings of the seed
the one that takes root far from its native soil
And then an hour and a half from Altkirch lies the capital of the Grand Est region
The city is home to the European Parliament
but is also the heart of Alsace’s heritage – its cathedral had Victor Hugo raving about this ‘prodigy of the gigantic and the delicate.’ The glassed-in nave of Strasbourg’s Musée d’art moderne et contemporain (MAMC)
opens onto the old town and features the monumental painting Le Christ quittant le prétoire (1867-1872) by local artist Gustave Doré
The importance of graphic arts in the region has remained a hallmark
as evidenced by the Museum Tomi Ungerer in Strasbourg
as well as a renowned illustration department at the Haute École des arts du Rhin (HEAR)
whose immersive spray paintings fill the great nave and forecourt with their shimmering colors
A 20-minute walk through the old town takes you to the tree-lined former convent of the 49 Nord 6 Est – Frac Lorraine

characterized by a feminist and Queer focus
take their place within a labyrinth imagined by Soshiro Matsubara
an artist renowned for his camp theatricality
In mid-June, Steinbrügge and her team will head to Basel. For her, the fair is a ‘cultural hub’ where ‘dialogues are created, new talents discovered and connections between players in the art world strengthened.’ As for Wymann, she is delighted with the ‘boon’ Art Basel represents for ‘exhibition spaces peripheral to the fair.’ She concludes: ‘It’s up to us to show that the programs in outlying venues are of high quality, and that it’s not complicated to get there!’

Météo Mulhouse Festival (Six venues in Mulhouse
has always been known for its adventurous programming. In the past this has meant a focus on free jazz
but since 2019 under the directorship of Mathieu Schoenahl it has moved into a more mixed programme that involves experimental music often involving electronics and post rock
Audiences are growing: attendance this year was considerably greater than last year (reviewed
still an important part of the programme. The three main concerts on Day 1 captured the essence of the programme
It began with Maggie Nicols solo performing songs
all with an engaging spontaneity. Maggie was followed by an Italian duo
Deborah Walker (an unusual name for an Italian!) on cello and vocals
and Silvia Tarozzi on violin and vocals. They sang songs originally performed by working class women seeking better conditions
and songs of the Italian resistance during WW2
Walker and Tarozzi have been workshopping with noted French improvisers
and incorporated elements of free jazz into the development of the songs. This worked well with the improvisations bringing out the energy of the songs; it worked particularly well when Maggie Nicols joined them for the final two songs
performed her Glitch set; in this she uses electronics and tapping of the body of the instrument to transform the accordion into a percussive instrument. This was an impressive and absorbing performance of what I assume to be a carefully planned rather than an improvised set
Highlights on Day 2 were two acts from the contemporary New York scene: Ava Mendoza’s solo set featured her songs rooted in the blues accompanied by her blues rock guitar playing
Amirtha Kidambi’s Elder Ones featured Kidambi’s tribute to the trumpet player Jaimie Branch
Indian farmers protesting against government policies
The subtle electronic manipulation of the sound of the two saxophones and the powerful drumming of Matt Sawyer gave a strong impetus to the set
Two contrasting approaches to the integration of electronics were noteworthy. The Sleep Of Reason Produces Monsters performing the final set of the festival matched the powerful electronic sounds of Mariam Rezaei and Gabriele Mitelli on turntables with the equally powerful drumming and percussion of Lucas König and the alto saxophone of Mette Rasmussen. Together they created an amazing whirlwind of sound; it was all very exciting
my only concern being that the turntable sound plus the drums often overwhelmed the sound of the saxophone and Mitelli’s pocket trumpet when he switched to that
The Tennota duo of Grundik Kasyansky on electronics and Tom Wheatley on double bass performed a nicely subtle approach to the integration of improv and electronics with a nice flow of ideas swapped between the two players
One interesting development apparent at the festival is the increasing presence of improvising pipes players using electronics to augment or manipulate the sound of the pipes. Carme Lopez’s set was disappointing in that she only used her Galician pipes very briefly to feed the electronics she was focussing on. Lyon-born
Montreuil based sound artist Clément Vercelleto used the pipes in a similar way to set up his electronic sounds
but played an excellent solo on the pipes at the end of the set. Glasgow-based Harry Gorski-Brown
played the pipes throughout his set apart from one piece with violin. His approach is a mix of tradition and innovation with the sound of the pipes gently augmented with electronics accompanying traditional songs
sung mostly in Gàidhlig.
Gorski-Brown’s set took place in the Temple de Saint Étienne
a beautiful church with stunning stained glass windows. This was also the setting for two other solo sets
one by American saxophonist Patrick Shiroishi and the other by pianist Ingrid Schmoliner. The latter played an hour long engaging minimalist piece using a prepared piano to create gentle electronic effects
A final point: the British – and especially the Scottish – representation in the programme was strong; we have mentioned Maggie Nicols
and Mariam Rezaei who was joined by her partner, Stewart Smith
in a DJ set that closed the festival late on the Saturday night. There was also a set from the post rock group from Scotland
Tony Dudley-Evans was a guest of the Météo Mulhouse Festival which is supported by the French national jazz agency AJC

SEVERAL police officers have been targeted in a horror terrorist attack which has left one dead in France
The stabbing spree was reportedly carried out by a "known terror suspect" who shouted "Allahu Akbar" as he stormed through a busy market square
The knife attack happened on Saturday at around 4pm in the city of Mulhouse
The suspect is believed to be a 37-year-old Algerian who was listed on the Terrorist Radicalization Prevention Reporting File
French President Emmanuel Macron has since told reporters: "It is an Islamist terrorist act - that is beyond doubt."
Nicolas Heitz, the regional prosecutor, said the suspect was arrested just minutes after he started the rampage.
One victim is said to have died after sustaining multiple stab wounds to their neck.
A 69-year-old Portuguese man described as an innocent "passer-by" at the market was confirmed as the victim by the anti-terrorism prosecutors office.
Another municipal cop and two parking control officers were also left with minor injuries
Terrifying images show a swarm of police at the popular market
Armed soldiers and special forces police secured the square where the attack took place later in the day
Mulhouse Mayor Michele Lutz paid tribute to the brave officers and said: "Horror has seized our city."
French prime minister Françoise Bayrou also said on X: "Fanaticism has struck again and we are in mourning
"My thoughts naturally go to the victims and their families
with the firm hope that the wounded will recover
"Congratulations to the police for their rapid intervention."
An investigating source spoke on the horrors and claimed the man was due to attend a nearby police station before carrying out the attack
They said: "The man was attending a police station to sign his judicial control form connected with his house arrest
and instead attacked a number of people with a knife
Those hurt included at least three municipal police officers."
It follows a series of attacks across Europe in recent weeks
On Friday, a Syrian refugee reportedly attempted to slit the throat of a 30-year-old Spanish tourist from behind in Germany
The suspect attacked at Berlin's Holocaust Memorial and said he wanted to "kill people out of hatred of Jews"
Just days earlier, Germany was again rocked by a suspected terror attack when an Afghan asylum seeker ploughed his car into a group of demonstrators in Munich
A 37-year-old mother and her two-year-old daughter were killed in the attack and injured at least 26 others
Officials say the 23-year-old was motivated by "Islamic terrorism" before his alleged role in the bloodbath attack that left five others injured
Authorities have described the knife attack in a French town that left at least one person dead and several others wounded as a ‘terror attack’
Mulhouse town mayor Michèle Lutz said in a statement: “And the horror has just swept over our town
A man attacked passers-by at the covered canal market with a white weapon
several municipal police officers who intervened to neutralize him were also injured.”
“The toll rises at this time to one person dead and several injured.Terrorist trail seems to be privileged at the moment
Of course it needs to be confirmed judicially,” Michèle Lutz said
The suspect was arrested and taken to police custody
a database launched in 2015 after the Charlie Hebdo and Jewish supermarket attacks to monitor individuals at risk of “terrorist” radicalisation
The attacker had targeted several municipal police officers
shouting “Allahu Akbar,” as well as a passerby
the prosecutor’s office was quoted as saying by CNN
the attacker was identified as an Algerian national
French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed condolences to the victim’s family
Macron also described the attack as ‘no doubt
French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau wrote on X: “Once again
And it is the migratory disorders that are at the origin of this act.”

The Horter family reportedly received suspended sentences on Monday for a financial scam involving their Mulhouse Olympic Swimming Club (MON)
meaning they will likely avoid prison by serving time on probation

MON president Franck Horter was dealt an eight-month suspended sentence for totaling over $265,000 worth of fake invoices
went unpunished for breach of trust related to about $600 worth of expense report items
Marjorie Hauswirth, the wife of Lionel Horter
