Operace Rainbow Warrior: akt státního terorismu?

Bakalářská práce ,,Rainbow Warrior: akt státního terorismu?" se zabývá incidentem z roku 1985, kdy byla potopena vlajková loď mezinárodní mírové organizace Greenpeace u břehů Nového Zélandu. Operace byla provedena agenty francouzské státní sužby na příkaz prezidenta Francoise Mitteranda. Zkoumána je otázka, zda je operace aktem státního terorismu. V první kapitole je představen koncept terorismu a jeho typologie. V další kapitole jsou uvedeny přístupy k fenoménu státního terorismu. Přístup, který jej zavrhuje i ten, který ho ospravedlňuje. Ve třetí kapitole jsou analyzovány rozdílné pohledy na provedenou operaci ze strany Francie a Nového Zélandu. Práce v neposlední řadě zkoumá vliv operace Rainbow Warrior na vzájemné vztahy obou zemí.This thesis ,,Rainbow Warrior Affair: act of state terrorism?" studies an incident that happened in New Zealand, in 1985. The flagship vessel of international peace organization, Greenpeace, was sabotaged and scuttled. The operation was executed by French secret services and ordered by President Francois Mitterand. This thesis aims to determine if the operation was an example of state terrorism. The first chapter deals with the concept of terrorism and its typology. The second chapter reviews the 2 opposing schools of thought on whether or not state terrorism actually exists. The third chapter analyses the different reactions to the incident by New Zealand and France. The final chapter deals with how Operation Rainbow Warrior influenced relations between France and New Zealand.Institut mezinárodních studiíInstitute of International StudiesFaculty of Social SciencesFakulta sociálních vě

A photographer's date with a nuclear death

President Jacques Chirac's controversial final round of nuclear tests at Moruroa and Fangataufa atolls in 1995 unleashed an unprecedented storm of international protest. And dilemmas for journalists covering the riots in Papeete and the junkets by French authorities. The Vanuatu government banned news reports on protests. A journalist on board the original environmental campaign ship Rainbow Warrior -- bombed by French secret agents a decade ago -- recalls the events. He was later arrested by the French military

Frontline: The Rainbow Warrior, secrecy and state terrorism: A Pacific journalism case study

France detonated 193 of a total of 210 nuclear tests in the South Pacific, at Moruroa and Fangataufa atolls, before halting them in 1996 in the face of Pacific-wide protests. On 10 July 1985, French secret agents bombed the Greenpeace flagship Rainbow Warrior in Auckland Harbour, killing photographer Fernando Pereira, in a futile bid to stop a protest flotilla going to Moruroa. The author was on board the Rainbow Warrior for more than 10 weeks of her last voyage. He was awarded the 1985 New Zealand Media Peace Prize for reportage and investigations into the ‘Rainbow Warrior and Rongelap Evacuation’. The following year, the author’s book Eyes of Fire told the inside story of state terrorism in the Pacific. He has subsequently reflected on a 20-year legal struggle by Television New Zealand and other media campaigners to prevent the French spies gagging reportage of their guilty plea from a public video record and the lingering secrecy about the health legacy of nuclear tests in the Pacific. In the context of the Frontlineproject for journalism as research, his work inspired a microsite—a community-driven collaborative project in 2015 coordinated by the publishers, Little Island Press, interrogating participants over a three-decade period and ‘challenging the nature of mainstream media in New Zealand’ with an alternative reader’s media model

Le discours militant ou l’ouverture vers l’extérieur du domaine spécialisé : l’exemple du discours militant écologiste du site web de Greenpeace International

Cet article vise à mettre au jour le fonctionnement du discours militant en appliquant les méthodes de l’analyse du discours spécialisé à l’exemple du discours écologiste du site web de Greenpeace International, http://www.greenpeace.org. Dans un article récent, Michel Petit définit les trois fonctions caractéristiques du domaine spécialisé que sont les fonctions de régulation, d’opération et de formation (Petit 2010). L’étude du rôle joué par le discours spécialisé militant de Greenpeace International au sein de ces trois fonctions permet d’en dégager les caractéristiques principales. D’une part, le discours d’exhortation à l’action militante constitue l’une des activités principales du domaine du militantisme. En tant que discours officiel et de référence, le site internet de Greenpeace fait quasiment fonction de manifeste pour l’ONG. Au-delà de la visée perlocutoire du discours, l’interactivité propre à tout site internet permet de brouiller la limite entre discours et action, comme dans le cas d’une « marche en ligne pour la justice » (« Online March for Justice »). D’autre part, Greenpeace vise à rallier toujours plus de partisans à sa communauté de militants. C’est pourquoi le discours d’ouverture de l’ONG se fonde sur un principe centrifuge qui remet en question les limites du domaine, et impose une hybridité nécessaire. Ces limites sont constamment remises en jeu par l’invitation de l’internaute à relayer le discours de Greenpeace et à rejoindre le mouvement.This article approaches Greenpeace International’s website (http://www.greenpeace.org) with the methods of Specialized Discourse Analysis so as to highlight the specificities of environmental activist discourse. In a recent article, Michel Petit defines the three functions that characterize a specialized domain as functions of regulation, operation and training (Petit, 2010). I use the three functions to account for the main features of Greenpeace International’s environmental activist discourse. First, one of the basic activities of activism is producing discourse: the Internet user is urged to take militant action. As a unified and unifying official discourse, the Greenpeace website takes on the role of an environmental manifesto. Beyond the perlocutionary aim of discourse, the interactive quality specific to a website blurs the limit between discourse and action, as in the case of an “Online March for Justice”. Second, Greenpeace aims at winning over as many new members as possible to its activist community. Greenpeace’s discourse is one of openness, constantly reasserting that activism is a hybrid domain. Indeed, the domain’s limits are challenged as the Internet user is invited to spread Greenpeace’s discourse as well as join the movement
