2009-06-17T02:07:00.005-05:00

"... considero que su acercamiento a los problemas de violencia de la gente es bastante voyerístico, pues no presenta un trabajo de campo, ni su acercamiento a gente física, personas de carne y hueso que ofrezcan testimonios sobre todos estos espacios acuáticos y lacustres."

"asume demasiado conocimiento de la realidad que interpreta, sin brindarle al lector un piso en la cotidianeidad acuosa y lacustre de estas personas."

"Y a falta de una aproximación textual más detallada, el autor realiza más bien conversaciones y meditaciones alrededor de conceptos de autores que le ayudarían a teorizar el encuentro del agua, la muerte y la memoria en estos lugares. Pero esto lo convierte en un artículo escrito como desde un aeroplano, en el que el autor se fascina teorizando, pero a él no lo afecta la violencia que describe"

"Además de ser un artículo al que le falta mucho detalle etnográfico, como para una revista de Antropología Social, me parece que es más un artículo cuyo marco metodológico está más cerca de los estudios culturales. A pesar de esto, ninguno de los argumentos que señala sobre el problema de la interpenetración del agua, sus detritos y la muerte, está fuertemente sustentado por citas de autores que sean adecuadamente realizadas."

Three Gramscian reasons

2008-10-29T07:59:00.009-05:00

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)

2008-10-25T13:54:00.003-05:00

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.

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.

2008-10-07T03:16:00.003-05:00

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.

Bataille and this blog

2008-08-17T11:55:00.004-05:00

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".

an intense (actor-) network or the colombian hauntings?

2008-03-20T07:26:00.011-05:00

guess what? i got this in the street today. in the AI South Korea's street fundraising/membership campaign. posters of people's faces elsewhere in the world.... and i do not even recognize or pay attention to who is who and who is from where in the posters. they are just familiar, nameless, dark faces in distant suffering....at least, this stops me on my way to post office.

on the picture, it says, "The children of Peace Community in San Jose de Apartado, Colombia. Since its establishment in March 1997, this community has been living in the threat of assassination by armed forces for last 10 years. As the community recently seeks to return to their own land which has been taken by the forces, the threats of attack are resuming. (See 'This Month's Appeal' for more details)"

I asked the activist what is the most major domestic issue they are working on right now. he says it is the issue of migrant labor and that they visit the detention centers for foreigners (which are indeed prisons for illegals). he continues, "but, it is very hard. there are problems of language and culture." hummmm, i pause for a second for this allusion to difference - too familiar but too vague. what does he really mean?

Politics of Pity? Yes, but, if it is all, then we just say Arendt was right and just party for her.

the activist looks slightly disappointed that i do not join their membership (which means monthly donations!) after making such a curious inquiries...i resume my walk to post office, and then find i did not bring the cds to send to colombia!!! IJUE PUTA!!!
