The wind from the Maghreb could reach Asia? The infection is able to bypass geographical distance, cultural differences and political regimes to fuel new forms of rebellion? One thing is certain
: one of the elements - explosives - which have hatched a long time under the North African revolt is becoming "endemic" in Asia: is the increase in food prices . A boom is hitting hard countries. The World Bank the food price index increased by 15% between late 2010 and January this year , a jump of only three points lower than the dramatic peak in 2008. The last six months have seen a sharp increase in prices of wheat, corn, sugar and rice.
A mix arsonist who chased him, according to the World Bank food price watch, 44 million people below the poverty line. It is especially frightening to the ride of wheat: between June and December 2010, the price of wheat has increased in Bangladesh (45%), Mongolia (33%), Sri Lanka (31%), Afghanistan (19%), Pakistan ( 16%). The price of rice has exploded in Vietnam (46%) Indonesia (19%), Bangladesh (19%), Sri Lanka (12%) and China (9%). As reported by the Wall Street journal in Singapore consumer prices in January rose by 5.5%. Inflation in Hong Kong was 2.4% in 2010 but the authorities expect a sharp acceleration to 4.5%. In Vietnam it was the leap of 12.31%. Just in Vietnam could take the scenario most feared by the Asian regimes: the balance of the protests on prices to the claims of human rights. Yesterday, the Vietnamese regime has arrested Nguyen Dan Que, an activist who spent 20 years in prison. Her crime? Have called for a "revolt Maghreb."
is above the two Asian giants - India and China - eight to be in the spotlight. Food inflation in New Delhi has skyrocketed in December: plus 18% . And the response of the square not long in coming. More than 200 thousand people took to the streets to protest the increases. Demonstrators
marched in procession from the outskirts of New Delhi up to Parliament, in the heart of the city. The government tries to run for cover, pointing to an increase in food aid to the poor at an altitude of 30 billion dollars. Then all eyes are on China. A few timid skirmish "popular" has already proved. Also prepared was married in Beijing. Who sent the police. Yesterday, Beijing has backtracked on freedom of movement of the foreign press in the country by reintroducing strict rules under which journalists you have to do not only in situations of permanent tension as Tibet, but also in the center of Shanghai and Beijing. The Dragon does not hide his fears. Premier Wen Jiabao said no half measures that inflation is the real enemy to fight . In January, the index of consumer prices grew by 4.9% over the same month last year, a new surge after +4.6% in December. The same planned growth will be cooled to avoid imbalances in too deep. A scare Beijing is an old "demon" that continues to crawl under his skin: the popular revolts. As the analyst wrote
Indian Prem Shankar Jha, "in January 2006 - before Beijing obscured the data - the Chinese media reported that the number of public disturbances in 2004 had risen from 74 thousand to 87 thousand in 2005. Ten times the number of incidents recorded in 1993 . In 2007, the riots had reached a height of 90 thousand. One of the causes of the riots? The blaze on prices. ;

Curiosity of Michel Foucault
What is the curiosity? What inspires landscapes? What thinking produces landslides? What challenges familiar? And again: what has the curiosity to do with philosophy? The Latins, as reveals the etymology of the word, have guessed the close relationship between curiosity and attention . The curious thing is the one who care, who cares. Michel Foucault's thought and lived as a curiosity perennial philosophical exercise. A curiosity that has inspired not only his work but that is overflowing in a flood of papers, articles, controversy, interviews replicated in part by the publisher Marietti: an exercise in "philosophical journalism", as defined by the French philosopher. An "exercise", which encompasses a wide series: the birth of the prison to the processes of medicalization, the question of the subject to regimes of truth.
But as you practice the curiosity? "Curiosity - wrote Foucault - evokes the" cure "the attention it pays to what exists or could exist." The real and the possible, therefore, the two registers on which the philosopher "plays" his curiosity. In this cross-reference between the real and the possible lies underneath, as a core, the full extent to which Foucault's philosophical discourse. thought worth practicing is not what it "seeks to assimilate what they should know, but what you lose their certainties." The curiosity that the soul "is immobilized before the real", but tries to "get rid of what is familiar," practicing "to look at things differently." The thought then he has to do with the predicament, with the ability to shift, exposing the family all'inusitato, to worry. For Foucault, "knowledge is not made for comfort: it disappoints, it makes us restless, carving, hurts. " A thought which does not remain alienated from reality. As noted by Mauro Bertani, in postafazione of "Discipline, Powers, Truth, for Foucault" thoughts, ideas, speeches have a material force. " The thought does not belong to a meta-plan, nor is detached existence: indeed invade, permeates, the stylized. This is why the French philosopher has spoken of his books and his research as "fragments of autobiography."
Who - as in the controversy with the organic intellectuals of the Communist Party - scolded him to have built, through his research on madness and the birth of the prison, a sort of metaphysical power, a vision in which power comes to cover and overwhelm the entire real, the French philosopher opposing an insurgency made up of a web of strategies and struggles: "What I want do is make an interpretation, a reading of a real, such that, on the one hand, this interpretation can produce effects of truth and, secondly, the effects of these truths can become tools in the context of struggle possible. To say the truth because it is attacked. Deciphering a layer of reality so that they reveal the lines of strength and fragility, with the points of resistance and possible points of attack, roads and paths already traced that intersect. What I try to bring up is a reality of fighting as possible. " power - in the conception of Foucault - is a field of forces and relations of forces, always reversible, furniture, open. Where there is power there is resistance, and therefore can make the change, to act on new records, unpublished reports to activate and open up new struggles. A journey that will take place at the heart of Foucault's philosophical discourse, the practice of freedom.
A reconstruction of the constellation of Foucault's thought (his articulations of his "travel theory ", his thoughts, his aporia) is offered by Vincenzo Sorrentino it The Political Thought of Foucault. The power, the interplay between knowledge and power, the disciplines, genealogy, self-care, asceticism, the stylization of existence, the subject and the techniques of subjectification: a thought that after more than twenty years after death of the philosopher does not stop to fascinate and disturb. Sorrentino locates the "heart" of Foucault's discourse - which somehow led his whole route - and that inherits from the French philosopher Nietzsche: "The general principle of Foucault is as follows: each form is a compound of the balance of power "(Deleuze). There is a substance, a foundation, a fund. There is an origin nor a destination. "The theoretical space within which research moves of the French philosopher - Sorrentino writes - is, first, the critically nietzcheana of the subject and the related concept of living as a" complex configuration "and reality as a network in which" everything is linked and conditional ".
The conception of reality as a field of struggle, a bundle of relationships always reversible - "the real controversy," writes Foucault - is not a denial of freedom, but its exaltation. Does not result in a narrowing of ethics, but in its stylization. But what freedom? Sorrentino shows the oscillations that the practice of semantic freedom suffers in Foucault, freedom on the one hand conceived "as freedom of 'individual to establish itself as a creative principle itself. Yet, on the other hand, it is also conceived as freedom from itself, loss of self, out of themselves. The result is a concept at the same time, autopoietic and ecstatic individual. "
Freedom and Ethics: A does not exist without the other, is a condition of the other. "Freedom - wrote Foucault - is the ontological condition of ethics. But ethics is reflected in the form that freedom takes. "

growth, China pulls the brake
As he wrote the Wall Street Journal , is a paradox: the world seeks to accelerate and "push" an anemic growth, but China wants to slow down. Premier Wen Jiabao said that the growth target envisaged in the new five-year plan 2011-2015 will be 7 percent and 7.5 percent, as expected in previous . Braking is a sign that China wants recalibrate their growth, moving towards greater protection for the environment and to enhance the purchasing power of the average family. Beijing thinks of a development model that focuses less on exports and more stimulated by domestic consumption. As reported Agi 24 China, the data processed by the World Bank show that China relies on domestic consumption only 35% of its economy, compared with 71% U.S. and 57% of India .
