Franco-Algerian comedian Wahid Bouzidi died of a stroke
August 21, 2023
The Franco-Algerian comedian, Wahid Bouzidi, died Sunday morning, following a stroke, while he was in Morocco for a vacation. Hospitalized in Marrakech since Wednesday, the 45-year-old artist unfortunately did not survive, as his family announced on social networks. The man who had made himself known on the stage of the Jamel Comedy Club (launched by Jamel Debbouze), had continued his career, notably on the big screen where he appeared in numerous films, such as "Case Départ" or "Neuilly sa mère, sa mother ". In a video published online last April on the occasion of his new one man show "Wahid he gets up", at the theater since January, the comedian pointed out that he had already had 3 strokes. This last show precisely returned to the way in which he had experienced his health problems and also evoked their effects on his relations with those close to him. Two days before his death, Wahid Bouzidi was still participating in a humanitarian action in favor of precarious children in Marrakech, on the initiative of the Franco-Moroccan rapper LECK.
A writer “died suddenly”:
The death of Pierre Alferi, singular writer
August 17, 2023
The writer and poet, author of various works such as collections, novels and essays, died on August 16, in Paris, at the age of 60. On learning of the death of Pierre Alferi, on Wednesday August 16, in Paris, at the age of 60, one feels the immediate, poignant, almost selfish sadness of losing a marvelous writer: marvelously singular and surprisingly plural, whose books like most more diverse came, over the years, to complete with regularity and some malice a work always in motion - living in the extreme, at the crossroads of poetry, novel, cinema, music, philosophy, plastic arts and even, one might say, science and technology. Now closed by death, this work nevertheless remains open, offered for the future to readings that it certainly deserves many. It is the work of a philosopher by training, himself a child of a philosopher: eldest son of Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) and the psychoanalyst and translator Marguerite Aucouturier (1932-2020), Pierre Alferi studied at the Normal School superior of the rue d'Ulm, passes the aggregation, then defends under the direction of Louis Marin a thesis on the medieval thinker and theologian Guillaume d'Ockham (circa 1285-1349), which will become shortly after his first book, Guillaume d 'Ockham the Singular (Midnight, 1989).

Paris - The man heading the reconstruction of Notre-Dame de Paris following a devastating fire three years ago has died in an accident while hiking in the Pyrenees.

And Notre-Dame, the architect of its revival," Macron said on social media X, formally known as Twitter. A celebrated landmark, the cathedral has been closed for restoration since a fire in April 2019 gutted its roof and sent its spire crashing down, stunning people in Paris and around the world. Georgelin, a 74-year-old army general, was appointed to lead the renovation following the fire. Authorities hope to reopen the cathedral by 2024, when the French capital hosts the Olympic Games. Notre-Dame will be restored to its previous design, including the 96-metre (315-feet) spire designed by architect Eugene Viollet-le-Duc in the mid-1800s.
