DISCUSS WAR
I read the new book of Micromega Tabucchi intervention of the war. It is not easy to interpret, because the author applies on contemporary literature with the intent to incite against Bush's war. But I was born a doubt, set on a fund that I will not bother to hide pain. The article is nice to some extent, but you do not need to understand the way of the action. Yet what is a descriptive approach that belongs to me, so do not write anything against the war but about the possible use of all the speeches circulated by dwarfs and dancers, filmmakers and intellectuals, people at the bottom like us because they are part of the base, and if can not communicate with those who govern us (the base and summit do not speak) are not fully understood even by those who listen. Returning to
Tabucchi, the comparison between the health of the world war (Marinetti) and the economic war that Bush used to consume the product-bomb on the heads Iraq is acceptable. But I need to think Tabucchi? Not really. I need to read Gino Strada the same number of Micromega for thinking that the bombs in Afghanistan have also killed civilians? Or what should they do for me? Obvious that the bomb on his head, whatever the source, produces the same damage (except blatant defects, which make up the warranty certificate).
I think I react with a homeopathic treatment, and replicated Tabucchi thinking of Calvino in his essay "The intellectual and engagement in the world" (I think) says that intellectuals have the task of the intellectuals. And to "say something new," I add, not being able to exempt from taking a position, trying to promote new ideas. Beating their hands about the individual, not the writer, even though the two figures share the same cell body.
To do this, the writer has at its disposal the instrument of culture, which is not the scholarship, then the citation should be avoided in bursts. I expect however that makes me think about the globality of the events of February 15, meet the wishes of those who under any flag to protest against an idea, but has not yet figured out how to propose a common idea. This is the weak point of the movements of recent years, which are governed by a common rebellion, which - perhaps soon - will have to follow a constructive phase, under penalty of ineffectiveness in the future period.
So when Tabucchi cites America "we like" I salt the unrest. Rejected modernity as technology, offers a list that runs from Pollock to Woody Allen, by Joseph Heller Susan Sontag and Noam Chomsky. But that has to do with dogmatism Chomskyan linguistic Sidney Pollock? And Woody Allen, who is an alien on any planet that has to do with me? It 's more desirable that a writer closes like a virgin in the medieval tower of words, or causes such as Amman, that the same number of Micromega write a story? It 'better than the intellectual "education" or humbly propose a new human perspective and not learned? Or do we want to see him jump on stage how to drive roundabouts without Moretti rosa_rosella cross only for the glory of the multitude?
communication should produce effects.
The impression is that the subjection to the logic of economic policy has produced inextricable intertwining between programs tend to like, who want to willingly relinquish the comfort of the "base".
The base has two options: bring down the height (revolution) or bend up to close in on itself, expressing new groups of government.
Tabucchi bed, seeing it as an essay about literature and not an article on the ethics of peace (what I wanted to read, and paradoxically find myself more in the text of Oscar Luigi Scalfaro, less imaginative but more pragmatic), I get confused in the multitude and doing the most limited and practical fundamentals; the school that needs funding and make a charity dinner, someone who needs work and you run his name, someone else who needs to talk and you listen with the greatest possible participation.
Confused in the lights and music rainbows so ably described by Antonio Tabucchi, I draw a conclusion: sometimes doing something for others is not just a promotional act of a hypertrophic ego (see my post, or Gino Strada).
