Post-post-post . . . nostalghia



it is raining right now, and i think i was looking at the photos "your camera" took almost for the first time....and i feel it was really AN EVENTO . . . yes, it sounds too banal but it is too true to be so . . . when will we have another evento again . . . anticipating the next one(s) . . . and for me, it always is remembered with these two songs whether it rains or snows or heats to death. . . and definitely they are only SOME of them . . .





and the unforgettable Serbian eggplant (spread) which is, of course, made DEL BARRIO: la MACARENA! kkk . . . (i tried making one with skinny eggplants the other day . . . mmm it was edible . . . )

Three Gramscian reasons

If any of you wonder why Italian students, including our own Garri, are getting ready to board planes en route to the streets of Milan, Roma and Siena these days.....

1. As a true Gramscian, one must respond to the call of the people






2. A real trasnational activist, must gather intellectual forces in the undergraduate dorms of Univercita di Siena......




3. One must accept the will of the people. Poberino menieco

Passion of the desert, revisited (Seoul style)




When I saw the recent post, this is what came to mind. And dare I say, yes, its another dislocated connection, yet again. The film is based on a story by Honore de Balzac, and though I never finished watching it (it became boring and a bit disturbing--the original, not Yoni's!), I feel the essence of the story is taking place, as we speak, in a more cosmopolitan reincarnation, Seoul style.

Maqueteo at a crossroads. an open ended invitation



One flight will go, another will come only to then leave again and sometime later still return. So cameras are being packed and video shot. Some are still settling, eating as we like and enjoying a cigar. The other one writes his professorship away while yet another one seeks the ethics of migration while migrant subjects remind her of the migratory aspect of love. Volver is now a multiple task, as if it ever had been something else.

Asmara



There seems to be a place where the dislocated subjects that make up this blog can refract their imaginations and fantasies of lands and histories with nostalgia and radical politics. In the mud but also the Fascist stradas, the imaginary of the flag to be honored by the passerby, the old cafes and theaters, women's white cloths, the Swedish style houses of the diaspora and newly built Korean housing complexes. After seeing a documentary on Eritrea, I have my doubts about Mogne's Morrocannes...maybe he's Eritrean, and that, well, that would explain many articulations.

Democracy

As democracy collapses in some parts of the circuits we call the world, we "the people" DEMAND the visual representations of Mogne's time turning moment and his collapse into the arms of Baccus.

Bataille and this blog



I recently saw a man on the screen. For two and a half hours his body decays, silently, gently. His movement is replicated by that of the siren resonating once and again on the emptying streets of Bucharest. The man's breath,  a stench of cat's piss and cheap alcohol, impregnates the sheets of different hospitals. His shit leaves traces as if the dying body wants to desperately try to write down on these places the inconveniences of bureaucracy, egotistical residents and exhausted doctors. A slow pace that leads to nowhere except the ordinary moments of a man dying between hospitals. Much like this blog I presume. And yet, there is always Bataille's thoughts on excess and death. For, "Life is a product of putrefaction, and it depends on both death and the dungheap" [...] Life is effusion; it is contrary to equilibrium, to stability. It is the tumultuous movement that bursts forth and consumes itself. Its perpetual explosion is possible on one condition: that the spent organisms give way to new ones, which enter the dance with new forces".

Asleep


I guess we've all been  sound asleep, lost in our dreams, maybe even nightmares, entrenched in the solace of a self that has found a long moment of disconnection with the consciousness of everyday life.
