Trampling oblivion / Cento Italian poets against the unconstitutional threat to the strength of Republican memory, edited by David and Fabio Note Earrings, e-book (first edition) and Nie Wieme (second edition coming in November 2010, Ancona).
In the formation of Italian unity and born in the debate on its institutional structures, the poem was a witness and a critic always uncomfortable. We want to say that it was always present as significant and unavoidable part of speech and of the polis, and that now, the publication (2010) in e-book (coming soon to the Series Editor's Cathedral Argo, Ancona) the neglect of the poetic work Trampling - Hundred Italian poets against the unconstitutional threat to the strength of Republican memory, by Note to David and Fabio earrings, is not only a confirmation, but a need, a necessity and an urgent commitment. Far from Croce's aesthetic thought, here we can not, however, does not mention, however, the truth, as does Norberto Bobbio (From fascism to democracy, 2008, p. 232), engaging in Eugenio Garin (The intellectuals of the twentieth century), that a culture of "disengagement "to cross, of course, and rightly so," was makes no sense. "
The expulsion of poets from the city, as Plato wanted the political, then it worked in reverse: the demon of poetry conflict has left the link to the winds of poetic lexis with the socio-political praxis. The rest would be unthinkable, and it is impossible, that thought, that actually reads the first language, let the action of the word cultural and / or poetry distant from the affairs of the city to shut her the intimacy of private individuals, and leave the polls for a specialist capital turns, 'ethics' and ability to critique the political economy as well as poetic economy of the poem ego devoted to the lyricism depoliticized.
But now suspend this step (in front) and back, albeit briefly, and omitting the accent of polyphony aesthetic and poetic, to "Trampling the oblivion" is, in our opinion, a true free open source cooperative dell'eteregoneità set of civic and poetry. In that poem, called around to the common good knowledge of poetry, which gets his hands dirty with the historical and material reality of this sad and violent time, and without measure and compare it with the public only in the agora throws his arms language "aseico" and criticism of the trial. The initiative and the project anthology is not guilty of the lack of a monthly group, and already the "we" the general intellect poetic enter into collective action in / with "Trampling the oblivion" is in itself is a compass orientation qualifying. If anything, however, is to be commended for having the plurality of styles and languages, their writing of poetry and poets participating textuality as a singularity, the unequal equality rallied to reaffirm and defend the right and the value of antagonism and conflict. Salt, not unrelated to the very conception of individual individualistic liberalism, the life of a living community of democrats, who are far Trained as a zombie that would like the society of the spectacle and his government barker. Why are these
"100 Poets" "Trampling the oblivion" are collected and gathered there not only for the exercise of practical use the plural form of poetry, but also for the values \u200b\u200band practice of political freedom and social equality in 'substantial optical republican democracy (the model that has wanted to synthesize the "common" of the idea and practice of genuine democracy - not a revolution, not only promise kept - the political ideals of the various forces of the "resistance" were anti-fascist and today).
The common good that is won and bequeathed by the anti-fascist struggle, and then shared by the parties as set out in the "resistance" in the written agreement that is the Italian Republican Constitution (the charters, we must not forget, developed dialogically - ethics of public reason - from the group of "seventy-five" - \u200b\u200b75 - Arc Resistance), whose assets now is pilloried and threatened in our country, and under the patronage of the conservative regime and the reactionary right. The excessive power and the blindness of the "dictatorship of ignorance" that band of neo-liberal government in office, Berlusconi and ideology commodification of the world (effective regulatory and prescriptive plebiscite and advertising to all and sundry), distorts the soul and content of that Constitution, as well as to mock the opposition and the story with the spot of the "people of freedom" of pulp fiction. If
Enlightenment (not to go back again to Dante or the history of the birth of municipalities in Italy), the Risorgimento and the unification of the nineteenth century, crises, birth and fall of Fascism and building on the Republican (XX century) , literature, art and poetry have never ceased to care (and quite known what to talk about it in these few lines) of the civil dimension, social and political life of the country Italy, is very symptomatic of a cultural and political reaction will the fact that much of the government press, or of many of its members, today per hour, as reported by the news coverage, reacted negatively to the publication of ' e-book Trampling poetic oblivion and consents received. In a letter to
Micromega, David Note, a curator, differentiating between oblivion and trample trample the truth, he wrote ("The Crane", www.lagru.org):
"The tones are mostly ridicule and aimed to make a caricaturist reduction aimed at teasing towards participants, portrayed as a "battleship Potemkin "(Il Giornale) of old and" dark "(Free) poets nostalgic for the '68 and full of" hatred "against Silvio Berlusconi (Il Giornale, Il Foglio), and regarding the transaction itself renamed" Poets against Silvio "(Il Giornale).
Now, in this country, where the injuries (Bossi) institutions and the people do not count, and weigh the other hand keys (more or less spicy: see the events tied to the" Year Zero "... just to mention a more recent one) without administrators Italy-Company, and the Minister of slackers (Renato Brunetta) He trains himself to apostrophize Italian intellectuals such as "elites of shit", but the real offense is the acquiescence accomplice to the coup Caesarism consumed fresh air from the right by Berlusconi and the more virulent than downhill.
The poets can not help but rebel - Trampling forgetting is this entry - or remain as it thundered Breton, in the silence of the "priests".
It is certainly not a livable country whose socio-political organization collecting today is sent down, with the actual responsibility of those progressive forces and left, between the status of a private company / and hand / I / and the Mafia / and Padania and Berlusconi. A real coup Caesars who plays offense to the conscience cultural and ethical-political aspect of our history and the community rallied around the common good and, among other property, whether that is that knowledge and practice of writing meaningful textual poetry. Textuality of the aesthetic diversity of styles and established his own poetic singularity at each of the "100" gathered from / to "Trampling forgetting."
a "constituent assembly" just like "75" of the Constitution of the anti-fascist resistance and popular democracy.
So even now, as yesterday, poetry, always mocked and marginalized by the power and wealth and the mandarins of slavery, returns to claim his right to rebellion as a party, and directly. Called the "strength of memory" and the "memory of the resistance," the polyphony of poetry and aesthetic pluralism, evidenced by individual poets antologizzati but unanimous in the use of antagonistic conflict and its wording, has responded in chorus (rhythm polisemofonia) , thanks to team work in which the "difference" was the universal rather than an abstract and formalist canon. David
Note, in fact, points out that the new version of "Trampling the oblivion" is also the work of the "valuable contribution of the magazine" Argo "in the persons of Earrings poet and scholar Fabio Valerio Cuccaroni, poets and friends and organizers of Henry and Lucile Cerquiglini Santoni, "and that" this collection of poems is [...] quite diverse in style and content, ranging from intervention in the civil meditation metaphysics on the theme of memory, from the expressionist poem radiography post-human mutation of anthropological, as well as formally switching from the traditional meter rhythmic prose, or gender lyrical narrative to experimental. And this is also a good sign, showing that the disruption of critical culture in schools and poetic style of communicating is not autonomous and completely dated and no longer meets the requirements of the story in action. "
This new commitment of poetry, choral free open source, cooperative and non-hierarchical, that can not be signed as the new experimental poetry and avant-garde of a civil commitment, consistent with the multiple identities and become the new generation hybrid interculturally . Barbaro is the terrorist and the discourse of monolingualism that maims and impoverishes the master identity and unique processes antagonists!
A constellation concept, this feature avant-garde, that necessity and contingency of things in society and languages \u200b\u200bof the immaterial risen to the productive force and production relations of capital and profit-system class, risemantizzata be (the concept of matter and / or energy risemantizzati in various stages of scientific-philosophical models, from classical physics to non-Cartesian-Newtonian or relativistic and quantum-dynamical systems theory, not why they lost their name ).
The historical temporality, accelerated by the technological revolution permanent symbolic, does not leave anything of real estate. The mutation of anthropological "post-human" society of the spectacle and biotechnology, with its "ethical hyphenated" (S. Zizeck) has undermined the natural barriers of the same autonomy and independence of the individual will to resolve the humanistic-Christian civilization Catholic middle class. But not why the alien and alienating of poetic language can be less or cut ties with its polar tension, which governs the universe and the forces of social life of people with their own subjectivity and interdependent system, nor can opting out of an 'awakening' of ustorio tendency to burn the ghost reified the mirror.
is worth, then, here, to remember that for its configuration far from conforming to models of the past anthologies (bunch of flowers and Fiorfiore with the basic principle stated), this grouping is rather cut his sister " anti-anthology "- Poetry in Comice (Rome, Empire, 2008) - edited by Francis Muzzioli and Marcello Carlino. The 'anti-anthology which brought together thirty-seven (37) poets for a collection that is "as a field and a task which everyone is free to respond." The number of poets of the "resistance" then amounted to 137. If we add the other one hundred of the forthcoming "The unpoetic Mafia" Edition www.edizionecfr.it (Association poiein), reaching 237. It is a
quantoqualiativo enough, this fierce 'armata Brancaleone "poetry calendar for a revival of the trend-strength active in the area? It is certainly testimony and presence is not necessary to stop the way of an allegory reflecting the proceedings.
