“MICHAEL JACKSON” PORTRAIT

Childhood

By Michael Jackson
Have you seen my childhood?
I’m searching for the world that I come from
’cause I’ve been looking around
In the lost and found of my heart…
No one understands me
They view it as such strange eccentricities…
’cause I keep kidding around
Like a child, but pardon me…
People say I’m not okay
’cause I love such elementary things…
It’s been my fate to compensate,
For the childhood
I’ve never known…
Have you seen my childhood?
I’m searching for that wonder in my youth
Like pirates in adventurous dreams,
Of conquest and kings on the throne…
Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
Look within your heart then ask,
Have you seen my childhood?
People say I’m strange that way
’cause I love such elementary things,
It’s been my fate to compensate,
For the childhood I’ve never known…
Have you seen my childhood?
I’m searching for that wonder in my youth
Like fantastical stories to share
The dreams I would dare, watch me fly…
Before you judge me, try hard to love me.
The painful youth I’ve had
Have you seen my childhood…

“SCREAM OF GAZA” INTERNATIONAL CARTOON EXHIBITION…


It’s Gaza..! 
It’s Gaza two scenes, pages, and pictures
A great people picture in his struggle and Resistance, beside another picture of savagery and downess ranging all history in registering his savage destruction, closure and massacures towards fresh kids, women, young men.
Yes it’s Gaza by two scenes.
A scene of people’s scream in versus to a greedy silence scene.
Gaza… a generation letter carring freedom minarat in all its carrings and a letter of full destruction and damage.
Gaza the two pages…
A page is written in martyr’s blood and mother’s path blessings.
Here in the second face a black page hitting silent, coward, scared people’s face. 
This is Gaza the prophetic for a people resistening the most greedy enemies in a tiny margin satisfying their blessed job.

4th INTERNATIONAL DON QUICHOTTE CARTOON CONTEST “INTEGRATION/ASSIMILATION”

„UYUM/DEGISIM“ KONULU 4. ULUSLARARASI DON QUICHOTTE KARIKATUR YARISMASI

 

“Entegrasyon” kelimesinin sozluk anlami; butunlesme, kaynasma, uyum saglama anlamina gelir. “Asimilasyon” ise; degisim, benzesmek veya  kendine uydurmak anlamlarini icermektedir. Birbirinden ayri gibi gorunen bu kavramlar, ozellikle goc ulkelerinde ayrilmaz bir butunun parcalari gibidir.  Biri, digerinin de varlik nedenidir, ayni zamanda…

Gunumuzde, gocmenler ne yasadiklari topluma tam olarak uyum saglayabilmekte, ne de kendi etnik kulturlerini ozgurce yasayabilmektedirler. Bir gocmenin yasadigi topluma uyum saglama surecinde kendi kulturunden uzaklasacak kadar asimile olmasi, yani yabancilasmasi da mumkun olabilmektedir. Gunumuzde bir cok ulkede bunun ornegini gorebiliriz.    Oysa, gercek anlamda “entegrasyon”, yabanci bir ulkede kendi kimligini kaybetmeden, degisime ugramadan yasayabilmektir. Kisinin etnik kokeni ne olursa olsun, yasadigi toplum ona etnik kulturunu ve dilini koruma hakkini kesinlikle tanimalidir. Aksi takdirde bir “asimilasyon” yani “zorunlu degisim” soz konusudur.

Toplumsal yasamda “ideal birey”, diger kulturleri ve halklari da kucaklayandir. Hedefimiz; “uyum ve degisim” kavramlarini birbirine karistirmayan, bireylere ozgurce kulturlerini yasatmalarini saglayan toplumlardir. Karikatur yarismamizin amaci, gercek anlamda yasama gecirilemeyen bu sentezi “karikatur” sanatiyla gerceklestirerek, goc ulkelerine gerekli mesajlari iletebilmektir.

 

YARISMA KOSULLARI:

1) Yarismaya sadece internet uzerinden katilabilinir.

2) Yarismaya en fazla 3 karikatur gonderilebilir.

3) Yarismaya katilacak karikaturlerin daha once hicbir yarismada odul almamis olmasi ve yayinlanmamis olmasi gerekmektedir. Aksi takdirde odulun geri alinabilmesi soz konusu olabilecektir.

4) Karikaturler A3 boyutunda, 300 dpi ve jpeg formatinda olacaktir.

Siyah-beyaz veya renkli olabilir, her turlu boyama teknigi serbesttir.

5) Gelen karikaturler oncelikle (www.donquichotte.org) internet sitesinin “bugun” bolumunde sergilenecektir. Boylelikle kopya karikaturlerin veya sartnameye uymayan karikaturlerin elenerek, son zamanlarda oldukca sIk yasanan odul krizlerinin onlenebilecegini dusunuyoruz.

6) Yarismaya son katilim tarihi: 1 Aralik 2009.

7) DegisIk ulke karikaturculerinden olusan secici kurul, gelen karikaturleri gelen karikaturleri Aralik ayinda degerlendirecek, sonuclar ise 15 Ocak tarihinde aciklanacaktir.

4. INTERNATIONALER DON QUICHOTTE KARIKATURENWETTBEWERB

“INTEGRATION/ASSIMILATION”

 

Die Bedeutung des Begriffs “Integration” ist definiert als Vervollständigung, Eingliederung,  als Sicherheit für Harmonie. Der Begriff “Assimilation” jedoch beinhaltet Veränderung, Angleichung oder Anpassung bis zur Selbstaufgabe. Diese beiden Begriffe sehen auf den ersten Blick verschieden aus, bilden aber besonders in Einwanderungsländern die Teile eines unzertrennbaren Ganzen. Der eine ist zugleich Ursache für das Vorhandensein des anderen Begriffs …

Heutzutage können die Einwanderer sich weder ganz in die Gesellschaft harmonisch einfügen, noch können sie ihren ethnischen Kulturen freien Lauf lassen. Es ist sogar möglich, dass ein Einwanderer während der verstreichenden Zeit, die er in der Gesellschaft lebt, um sich harmonisch einzufügen, sich von seiner eigenen Kultur so weit entfernt, bis er assimiliert wird; es ist sogar möglich, dass er einen fremdartigen Charakter annimmt. Jedoch im Sinne der tatsächlichen “Integration” bedeutet es, dass ein Fremder in einem Land ohne Velust seiner Identität leben kann. Ganz gleich, welche ethnischen Wurzeln die Person hat, die Gesellschaft, in der er lebt, sollte ihm das Recht auf Schutz seiner ethnischen Kultur und Sprache gewähren. Andernfalls handelt es sich um “Assimilation”, das heißt um “zwangsläufige Veränderung”.

Im Gesellschaftsleben ist das “ideale Individuum” dasjenige, welches auch andere Kulturen und Völker umfaßt. Unser Ziel ist, ohne Vermengung der Begriffe “Integration und Assimilation”, Gesellschaften zu schaffen, in denen gewährleistet ist, dass Individuen ihre Kulturen frei leben lassen können. Ziel unseres Karikaturenwettbewerbs ist es, die im wahren Sinne nicht ins Leben übertragene Synthese mittels der Kunst der “Karikatur” zu verwirklichen und auf diese Weise an die Einwanderungsländer die notwendige Botschaft richten zu können.

 

DIE WETTBEWERBSREGELN:

1) Bei Teilnahme an Wettbewerb ist nur durch Internet möglich.

2) Jeder darf höchstens mit 3 Karikaturen teilnehmen.

3) Die teilnehmende Arbeiten dürfen weder bei einem anderem Wettbewerb vorgestellt noch auf irgendeiner Weise veröffentlicht worden sein. Bei einem Verstoß, ist die Aberkennung der errungenen Preise die Folge.

4) Die Zeichnungen sind in A3-Größe zu zeichnen, in 300 dpi Auflösung und in JPEG-Format abzugeben. Sie können sowohl als Schwarz-Weiß, als auch farbig sein, Die Farbliche Darstellung ist genauso wie die farbtechnische Bearbeitung der Arbeiten obliegen nicht einer Eingrenzung.

5) Die eingesendete Karikaturen werden zuerst auf den Webseiten des “Don Quichotte” unter der Rubrik “Heute/Bugün” ausgestellt. Somit werden die Arbeiten die dem Reglement widersprechen, frühzeitig aus dem Wettbewerb ausgeschlossen. Somit werden die in der Vergangenheit nicht selten erlebte unberechtigte Nomienierung  einer Arbeit vermieden.

6) Die Einsendeschluß des Wettbewerbs ist 1. Dezember 2009

7) Im Dezember wird unser Bewertungsgremium aus verschiedenen Ländern

die Werke bewerten und das Ergebnis am 15. Januar bekanntgeben.

8) Das Preisvergabefest wird im März 2010 in Holland stattfinden.

4th INTERNATIONAL DON QUICHOTTE CARTOON CONTEST

“INTEGRATION/ASSIMILATION”

 

The word „Integration“ in  dictionary means coalescence, cohesion and adaptation. „Assimilation“ contains the meanings of alteration, resembling each other or adjusting oneself. These conseptions which seem as if they are different from each other build the parts of a complement especially in migration countries. Also one of them is the entity reason of the other one.

Nowadays neither the immigrants can accommodate to the society where they live nor they can live their own ethnic cultures freely. At the process of accommadition to the society of immigrants where live it can be possible that  they are assimilated as much they diverge from their own culture also that they become estranged. But the real meaning of „integration“ is to be able to live in a country without losing self-identity. Whatever the ethnic origin of the person, the society accord the right of protection of his ethnic culture and language. Otherwise there is an „assimilation“ in other words „obligatory alteration“.

In social life „ideal person“ is who embrace the other cultures and folks. Our goal is that the societies do not confuse „adaptation“ and „alteration“ conceptions and that they provide that people maintain their cultures freely. The aim of our cartoon contest is to actualize this synthesis which can not actualize in real terms- through the cartoon art and to convey the required messages to the immigrant countries.
