Le Prix de la Communication Culturelle Nord-Sud 2000

attribue au Professeur Kiiji FUJIWARA (Japon) et à

Mlle  Amal BOUJEMAA (Maroc)

 

 

Ce Prix a été créé en 1991 par le Professeur Mahdi Elmandjra à la suite de la publication de son livre Première Guerre Civilisationnelle. Il est attribué annuellement le 17 janvier, date anniversaire de la guerre meurtrière qui fut déclenchée, en 1991, contre le peuple irakien et qui se prolonge encore à ce jour sous forme de bombardements et d’un monstrueux embargo.

 

Le Prix de la Communication Culturelle est financé par les droits d’auteur des écrits de son initiateur. Ce Prix a été octroyé, pour la première fois en 1992, à Ahmed SANOUSSI(Maroc), satiriste et à Larbi SEBBAN (Maroc), caricaturiste des journaux «Al Alam» et «Al Quds». Les lauréats de 1993 furent Ramsey CLARK, ancien ministre de la Justice (Etats-Unis) et Mounir BASHIR (Iraq). Il a été décerné en 1994 à deux hommes de théâtre, Ibrahim SPAHIC (Bosnie) et Taib SEDDIKI (Maroc).

 

Le Prix fut remis, en 1995, au Professeur Yuzo ITAGAKI de l'Université de Tokyo (Japon), en 1996 aux Professeurs François BURGAT (France) et Ahmed LAKHDAR-GHAZAL (Maroc). Il fut attribué en 1997 à l’Association internationale FUTURIBLES (France) et à l’Agence de Presse et d'édition CHIRAA de Tanger (Maroc).

 

En 1998, il a été remis à Ahmed Ben Yessef un des maîtres peintres des écoles de Tétouan et Séville et El Mostafa Rezrazi, le premier marocain à obtenir un doctorat d’une université Japonaise.

 

Le Prix fut attribué en 1999 à l'enfance Irakienne collectivement, d’une part, et à un homme de coeur, de probité et de grand courage : Denis Halliday (Irlande) qui démissionna de son poste de Coordinateur de l’Action Humanitaire des Nations Unies le 31 octobre 1998 en signe de protestation contre les effets néfastes de l’embargo imposé à l’Irak et dont plus de 500.000 enfants furent victimes.

 

Les lauréats de l’an 2000 sont le Professeur Kiichi FUJIWARA (Japon) et Mlle Amal BOUJEMAA (Maroc).

 

Kiichi FUJIWARA est né en 1956. Il est Professeur de Relations Internationales (International Politics) à l'Université de Tokyo où il enseigne depuis 1992 et où il obtint son doctorat en 1984. Le Professeur FUJIWARA est un des politologues les plus en vue au Japon grâce à ses recherches et ses publications. Sa réputation dépasse les frontières de son pays. Il s’est consacré à l'étude des relations entre le Japon et ses voisins asiatiques avec une grande sensibilité à l'égard de la problématique des pays du “Sud”. Il a publié plus de 50 textes en japonais et en anglais.

 

Il passa plus de dix ans (1985-1995) comme chercheur au célèbre “Institute of Developing Economies” de Tokyo. Le Professeur FUJIWARA se penche actuellement sur l'étude des liens entre la “pauvreté” et les “conflits” et des stéréotypes du “pauvre” qui en découlent. Il vise à une compréhension qui internalise le phénomène de la pauvreté et qui ne se limite pas à une analyse externe. Cette compassion est tout à fait fidèle à une démarche où la communication culturelle entre les peuples est une constante et que le PRIX de la Communication Culturelle Nord-Sud honore cette année.

 

{On trouvera en Annexe le Curriculum Vitae du Professeur Kiichi FUJIWARA.}

 

Amal BOUJEMAA est la première fille née à la Maternité du Souissi à Rabat en l’an 2000. Sa mère, Latifa RASSID, enseigne les sciences   naturelles dans une école secondaire à Salé et son père, Soualem B0UJEMAA, est infirmier-anesthésiste. Ce choix est symbolique car à travers elle c’est la femme marocaine (et la femme tout court) que le Prix honore en espérant que le nouveau siècle lui apportera l'égalité, l'équité, la justice sociale, la jouissance des droits universellement reconnus, l’absence de toute discrimination quelle qu’elle soit, la liberté, l'éducation, la dignité, la créativité et le bonheur endogène dont le siècle précédent l’a tant privé. Le nom de la lauréate “AMAL” (espoir) n’est donc pas fortuit.

 

En fin de compte la problématique des droits de la femme est assez semblable à celle que l’on constate au niveau des rapports “Nord-Sud” - des rapports inégaux où le pouvoir et la force renforcent et maintiennent les inégalités. Dans un cas comme dans l’autre, la COMMUNICATION CULTURELLE - c’est-à-dire l'écoute, le respect et la compréhension de l’AUTRE - est une condition essentielle à tout changement de comportement et de structures mentales que cela entraîne.  L’attribution du “Prix de la Communication Culturelle Nord-Sud” à AMAL  BOUJEMAA est donc tout à fait conforme aux objectifs de cette distinction.

 

A travers AMAL c’est aussi l’enfance – cette autre grande victime des abus de la société - que l’on honore. Et que vive l’ESPOIR !
