The Last Friend
Written in Ben Jelloun’s inimitable and powerfully direct style, the novel explores the twists and turns of an intense thirty-year friendship between two young men struggling to find their identities and sexual fulfillment in Morocco in the late 1950s, a complex and contradictory society both modern and archaic.
From their carefree university days through their brutal imprisonment and ultimate release, the two rely on each other for physical and psychological survival, forging bonds not easily broken. Each narrator tells his version of the story, painting a vivid portrait of life lived within and in opposition to the moral strictures of North Africa.
Set against a backdrop of repression and disillusionment, The Last Friend is a tale of loss of innocence and a nation’s coming of age.

Camera Lucida
Camera Lucida, along with Susan Sontag's On Photography, was one of the most important early academic books of criticism and theorization on photography. Neither writer was a photographer, however, and both works have been much criticised since the 1990s. Nevertheless, it was by no means Barthes's earliest approach to the subject. Barthes mentions photography in one of his 'little mythologies'—articles published in the journal Les Lettres Nouvelles starting in 1954, and gathered in Mythologies, published in 1957 (and in English translation in 1972). The article "Photography and Electoral Appeal" is more obviously political than Camera Lucida.

-
memes did not refer to Trump’s wife, Melania, or their relationship. These findings are illuminating, as the study of social media usage sheds light on trends in representations of gender and adds to the literature content that researchers may use to gauge progress in representations of gender, politics, and social media platforms.
True! and very important as well!!!!
-
Some scholars predict user-generated content (UGC) may eventually displace traditional broadcast media as the main outlet for news and entertainment.
They're right! (well, user generated content, on the internet, i guess, people still follow big pages, they're just not traditional media related, like rocanews or RAPtv, etc)

First, memes serve politicians in defining political concepts, disarming critics, and relieving tension. Second, they let political critics express their criticism.

a somber yet highly creative tale about the consequences endured by the residential school generations3 who have to deal with cultural loss as well asphysical, sexual, and psychological abuse. Finally, Sonia Bonspille Boileau’s (Mohawk)psychological thriller, Le Dep (2015), also deals with the ways in which individuals copewith colonization, assimilation, and abuse. Although classified as fiction films, all threenarratives speak of contemporary Indigenous life in communities, and of the resilience ofthe people who refuse to give (p. 112) up the fight for self-recognition and cultural reappropriation. Perhaps the best example of this will to survive and to transform wounds intovery creative works of art is the Wapikoni Mobile project
