EDGAR MEYER: HIS MAIL AND MY ANSWERS






PREMESSA:

In data odierna ricevo e pubblico una mail privata da Edgar Meyer, portavoce dell'Associazione GAIA in merito ai nostri rispettivi punti di vista sulle adozioni dei cani all'estero e sul nostro operato in merito alla tutela e benessere degli animali.
Con il suo permesso scritto , senza arrogarmi il diritto di postarne il testo senza autorizzazione, divulgo il suo pensiero, le sue domande e le mie risposte.
Risposte che vengono offerte al pubblico lettore e che sono il mio pensiero, my point of view, not an invitation to a debate for all those who have the will and patience to read this book.
recently seems to have dropped a thick curtain on freedom of speech and expression, so I think that, even if adverse, should be a dialogue in mutual respect for different ways of thinking.
This article has as its sole purpose not being "biased" but the comparison of two different ways of thinking and seeing reality with regard to animal welfare.
Lately waste the email warning about the content of an article that is in clear opposition of thought with a modus operandi that I do not agree with ideologically, and waste also "calls" very polite and undemocratic of "suppression" of the same only differing points of view.
If we want to be civil, plead a cause, to publish one of our ideas, the latest way to do this is to foment a war webbiana.

is not a war that will get you goals. Not at current levels.

Subject: Blogs and adoptions of dogs





Dear Tiziana Paghini,



a voluntary association of animal I shot some action on his blog, I did not know, without knowing-where-I am called personally concerned about international adoptions of dogs.



I try to answer it, hoping I can be of interest.



to me "like this weird thing," as she calls it international adoption for several reasons. Here is someone (other than that "thing" is not strange but clear and transparent so that the association with Let The Paw promote the sunlight on our site):



are nationals Italian-German (born, lived and graduated in Italy) by Italian-Swiss mother and German father. I consider myself a European citizen and I know the different cultures and realities. Reality and culture, especially concerning animal rights, and in Germany and Northern Europe in general is much more advanced than in Italy - unfortunately. Just one example: in Germany, the sterilization is an absolute rule (an exception from us) and the straying essentially unknown, and we have approx. 800,000 stray dogs (data La Sapienza University of Rome) concentrated mainly in central and southern Italy. I could give dozens of examples, but I will stop here. Believe me: the two realities are unfortunately very far apart and one of my efforts, as a journalist, as a professional (I was for five years head of the Animal Rights in the Province of Milan and I helped to build the most extensive network of local Uda in Italy: 38 on the territory of the Province of Milan) and as a volunteer movement animal, is to bring the Italian to the German model.

who has seen with his own eyes the reality of Germany (and not only speak from hearsay, error of superficiality where unfortunately too many animals fall) knows that there is overcrowding in shelters Germans: there are no kennels lager with 800 / 1000 as dogs from us !!!!! When a German says that their shelters are overcrowded will dire che hanno in gestione più di una cinquantina di cani…ecco un’altra differenza tra le due realtà. Un Tierheim (che tradotto alla lettera significa Casa (Heim) degli animali (Tier) può ospitare sì 800 animali, come il Tierheim di Amburgo, ma di questi 600 sono uccelli recuperati e da recuperare, un centinaio animali vari da cortile (oche, asini ecc) e solo un centinaio i cani, di cui vari provenienti da Grecia e Spagna, dove erano condannati a morte! Perché nel nord-Europa è “normale” occuparsi di TUTTI gli animali in difficoltà, non solo di cani e gatti. Per cui esistono strutture efficienti e i cittadini sanno a chi rivolgersi…da noi i CRAS – centri recupero animali selvatici are an absolute rarity and above all hidden and unknown to most. Returning to the dogs, I saw Germans experienced animal cry visiting kennels Italian (Northern Ireland, among other things) contracted with public facilities: they had never seen anything like that in their country.

The trip to Germany and Switzerland is no more stressful than any dog \u200b\u200bwith his "master" when he goes on vacation. If the dog is in bad condition, eg. those in the shelter of Rieti, the association is restored Let the leg in Milan before the journey. This, to an association of animal protection, is so obvious che spiace dover essere costretti a sottolinearlo.

I cani che “mandiamo” in Germania o Svizzera non vanno in canili bensì in case – famiglia, là molto diffuse (altra differenza…), oppure direttamente alla famiglia adottiva. Le Associazioni tedesche gemellate da anni con Diamoci La Zampa fanno severi e accurati controlli pre e post adozioni. Si tratta di associazioni organizzate, precise, rigorose nei controlli, rigide nella scelta delle famiglie, talvolta (a mio giudizio) eccessivamente severe. “Tedesche”, per l’appunto. Lontane dal modello organizzativo più tipico delle associazioni italiane, non escluse quelle nelle quali milito, piene di buon cuore ma anche talvolta di improvvisazione.

Association Let the leg has the certainty that the dogs are entrusted in good hands. Our volunteer work, laborious and expensive in terms of money and time, including those of close relations with volunteers from Germany and Switzerland: daily mail, telephone calls, travel, meetings. Who wants to have as many certainties, he has only to do the same thing. Work together and to struggle together. Disclose to the four winds lists of names and home addresses of adoptive families, you should know, is a crime - both for the Italian law for the German law. Simply, you can not do. They can not do and not do the public shelters, they can not do and not do the private shelters, can not do it and do not take the associations only to Italian families (there is someone who does?), they can not do and not do the associations that take dogs in Italy and abroad with adoptions international. We trust the volunteers of the German associations sisters just as you would normally trust between Italian volunteers who have known for years: because we work together, side by side, because we know each other because they share the anxieties and joys, etc. etc.. It 's funny to discover that a voluntary trust Catanzaro control postaffido a voluntary Bologna (if you know it well) but you can not trust a volunteer from London to Frankfurt or Zurich (which conosce altrettanto bene)…
Ora avrei io qualche domanda per Lei



- Da anni in Italia una minoranza di animalisti si batte -senza mai essere andata a fondo della cosa- contro le adozioni internazionali che si definiscono “esportazioni”, “commercio” ecc. coinvolgendo, nel cupo gridare “al lupo al lupo”, anche cittadini ignari, che comprensibilmente rimangono sconcertati da queste accuse. Mai però è successo che a queste voci infondate siano seguite azioni concrete. Se qualcuno ha in mano, oltre che “timori”, prove reali e concrete di illegalità, faccia per favore denunce mirate e precise: si colpisca durissimamente chi agisce in malafede. Saremmo the first to join with such complaints. Why do not you and we will just throw vague suspicions?

- so fervently against international adoptions. Much less fervor, and many fewer words are used by these animals in demanding an end to the importation of puppies from the East: this means an awful speculation (managed by traders and not-as-international adoptions from animal charities) that causes the death of many puppies. Why not concentrate more efforts on this issue real, ask for a change in legislation, as here the evidence is there?



- If it is true that the laws for the protection of animals we are at the forefront (I helped someone to push them too, as a member of the Council of the Lombardy Region for the prevention of stray dogs), so it is not the reality, especially in the South-but-not only puts us at the Third World. He has never visited, Ms Tiziana, some kennels of Sicily, Campania, Calabria, Puglia, etc.? Have you ever visited all over the country, public shelters is contracted out to unscrupulous people? Have you ever seen the miserable life / death of these poor beings without a future? We are bombarded by desperate appeals. As you can ignore them and prefer to sow doubts against animal rights organizations for over 20 years to help them spit blood?


- The reality of these desperate poor animals is a certainty. They are not "doubt." Why so much obstinacy on international adoptions? To allay their concerns seriously enough to enter the mechanism. If the doubt (as they are) found to be unfounded? It is profoundly unjust to deny the possibility of finding an adoptive family (even if "foreign land") to so many dogs in Italy (step-mother earth) will never be found? Better to let them rot in the hundreds (I'm approx. 300 seconds a recent survey published in the magazine four-legged) of kennels lager?



- Let the leg in over 20 years of desperate activity has helped to take approx. 7,000 dogs: 95% of them 5% in Italy but also abroad. Few, very few, compared to approx. 1,600,000 dogs (data LAV) languishing behind bars of kennels. One million six hundred thousand convicts without guilt. Not numbers, living things. To which, if you can, Let The Paw, Animals & Environment Gaia and many other groups trying to make a new life expectancy. Who cares if it's Franz Klammer at home instead of Toni Esposito. A frontier for us is not bad (better represented by the mental borders). The important thing is that there is a house. A family. A "flock". And a dirty box kennel. She not only sow doubt, but for those one million six hundred thousand of desperate endeavor producing adoptions, right?



For the sake of the dogs would be desirable collaboration, and the struggle between those who deal with animal rights. To focus on the real enemies: hunting, vivisection, abused, abandoned. There is so much to do that, in my humble opinion, is a crime to waste time on anything that does not reach the target.



Yours sincerely.

AGREEMENTS TAKEN AS PRIVATELY, HERE IS MY RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS FOR EDGAR MEYER-IN LIGHT OF ITS APPLICATIONS , MY ANSWERS IN BOLD PUBLIC:

*** in Italy for many years a minority of animal-fights without ever having gone to the bottom of the thing-against international adoptions, which are defined as "exports", "trade" and so on. involving, in the dark crying "wolf wolf", even unsuspecting citizens, who are understandably shocked by these allegations. But never has it been that these rumors are followed by concrete action. If someone's hand, as well as "fears" real concrete evidence of illegality, please make complaints targeted and precise: they blow those who act in bad faith. We would be the first to join with such complaints. Why and we do not simply throw vague suspicions?

R: first:

Urge the premise that the undersigned NOT PART OF ANY ASSOCIATION animals and / or political faction. ALSO URGE specified for the umpteenth time that THE SIGNED NON SARA 'MAI FROM CATALOG AS BELONGING TO ONE OF THOSE TWO CATEGORIES. In response to Meyer add that I also have German roots from my father and my husband has repeatedly highlighted the civilization of northern Europe compared to Italy itself, being "adopted" North European. That said, stressing that I move only as an Italian national law-abiding player and doors to the public my feelings, my personal experiences, il mio punto di vista e/o pensiero senza fregiarmi di far parte di qualsivoglia gruppo animalista o movimento politico. TUTTO E' TRASPARENTE E SFIDO CHIUNQUE A DIMOSTRARE IL CONTRARIO.
Ora, il mio pensiero si sviluppa attraverso una miriade di denunce che si rincorrono da anni attraverso il web e che portano in primo piano la realtà del trasferimento dei nostri cani e gatti dall'Italia all'estero. Denunce che non portano con unicamente una sigla animalista ma dei veri e propri blitz portati ai cittadini come testimonianze da parte dei Nas, della Forestale, dei Carabinieri, della Polizia, e addirittura di persone semplici ma, disgraziatamente per loro, vittime di sottrazione dei propri animali per destinazione ignota. Per ovvie ragioni, al momento non posso publish without written consent of the names of these people, that if they want will eventually in the future requiring the publication of an article on their own experience. Of course I am available for further testimony corroborated by sources and provided valid documentation in order to uncover a reality that should not now be seen as an attack on Edgar Meyer himself or his group, but the transfer of animals from Italy to 'abroad. The real evidence, unfortunately Sign. Meyer are there, and even if they have nothing to do with his person or the association which represents, however, evidence are going to validate my doubts about foreign adoptions. To this we can add the many appeals / articles already in the second half of the 90 people caught between the press and the web itself. So because of this it is normal to require clarity and doubt where it is pitch dark. If not, the concern and the testimonies that have been the subject of many news reports would have no reason to exist. In secundis, Sign. Meyer, it is difficult for all of us who oppose foreign adoptions, but open to constructive dialogue, without being able to believe in miraculous adoption corroborate the truth, because as she points out himself, the names of the adopters are private. Make them public is a crime. This, in the absence of volunteers ready to appear publicly with name, reduces the whole to one track: the transfer of doubt.
Although this expression is bad, you must be honest with God and admit that without some reference to a double check tangible, legitimate doubt is fixed in people's minds like a fire brand. At this point, you will agree with me that it is difficult for citizens to make an accusation without some certainty on the other fonte.Una sort of two-way street in both directions but that is a closed fund. If everything was clear and obvious, there would be no hesitation or otherwise would be limited to the individual and not extended to the ground. See for yourself an animal to be adopted in Italy and then to note that these results have already booked abroad raises doubts qualsiasi persona. Questa affermazione non vuole accusare Lei o la sua Associazione di nulla, tuttavia è chiaro che in un panorama simile, l'attacco nasce spontaneo se non ha elementi validi di riferimento. Personalmente ho chiesto chiarimenti in merito a molti volontari, ma le mie mail sono sempre state ignorate.



*** Tanto fervore contro le adozioni internazionali. Molto meno fervore e molte meno parole vengono usate da questi animalisti nel chiedere la fine dell’importazione di cuccioli dall’Est: questa sì un’orrenda speculazione (gestita da commercianti e non -come le adozioni internazionali- da associazioni di volontariato animalista) che causa la morte di moltissimi cuccioli. Perché not concentrate more efforts on this issue real, ask for a change of legislation, because here the evidence is there?

R:

course for this response limits the thought and experience only to myself, not being a spokesman for anyone.
On this question to mail me, I can safely say that my little 'battle' you are never limited to the subject of foreign adoptions and has never favored a single category with regard to the protection and animal welfare.
On my blog, if read carefully, you will find plenty of reasons advocated and feel. From illegal trafficking of animals, abuse, use of 'commercial', to that of the same food! Not least on the illegal trafficking of pups from the East. It is certain that, once again, I feel compelled to point out my position of NOT TIED TO PRIVATE CITIZEN GROUPS or against themselves and against the institutions. Duty is to remember, however, that the institutions and associations are placed in 'field' right to file this painful and shameful corner of illegal trafficking of human beings. Also here, Sign. Meyer, agree with me that what a citizen can do without any valid membership is very, very, very limited.
Needless to focus on all those who, while declaring animals live with contempt adoption of a dog from a kennel or a cat da un gattile, prediligendo a questi il famoso quanto triste 'cane' o 'gatto' di razza. Scusi, ma io non mi sento appartenente a questi gruppi impellicciati, impomatati, predicanti bene e razzolanti male. Ho sempre adottato animali in condizioni di salute molto precarie, non ultimo un cane spacciato come tale e proveniente dal 'famigerato' canile Dogmar di San Genesio ed Uniti in provincia di Pavia.
Un cane senza 'referenze', che stando a ciò che è ancor oggi viene pubblicato con grande risonanza dal web, arriva da un "lager".
Bene, né io né mio marito ci siamo posti il dilemma di cosa avremmo portato a casa! Il tutto era a scatola chiusa e veniva concettualmente concepito in virtù di ciò che veniva e viene conveyed via the web. In essence, a lottery. But we wanted to know the conditions of the dog, and he has lifted the morale to have understood that our Ares did not come from what they call too many kennels lager! Ares, our great puppy from the character of steel, so as to get a kennel, but not from a camp! Did not come from Trump Plaza, but did not reach even to Auschwitz. I am sorry to raise an argument in many uncomfortable and I had no intention to exhume more, but that's the truth, and not trust it, even if supported with names and surnames, in fortune or misfortune of the adopter. This is not a question of fate but of objectivity. This dog is well, and here I published everything possible, but no one wanted to believe me. Perhaps it was easier and more useful illusion to the contrary. But what could be my profits? None! I have never come to terms with anybody, and I was very saddened by the fact that, when asked, the Mayor of San Genesio ed Uniti, head of the doghouse dogma, did not want to accept my testimony and that of my husband. Written evidence, signed, and sent via registered mail and that he never had any order if not the welfare of animals. After four years of stay in abundant Dogma, this dog has no particular problems Sgambati or adapt to our environment. It 's a healthy dog, both from a psychological point of view of health. This dog lived almost his whole life in a kennel all define a lager, but
Details? Maybe. What is certain is that we have always adopted animals from seemingly absurd situations, and with great desire and love-unfortunately-we have grown up losers emerge and become part of our family environment. Love is always sacrifice. This is not just a motto, but our philosophy of life is to be human beings that 'animals'.



*** If it is true that the laws for the protection of animals we are at the forefront (I helped someone to push them too, as a member of the Council of the Lombardy Region for the prevention of stray dogs), not so is the fact that especially in the South-but-not only puts us at the Third World. He has never visited, Ms Tiziana, some kennels of Sicily, Campania, Calabria, Puglia, etc.? Have you ever visited all over the country, public shelters is contracted out to unscrupulous people? Have you ever seen the miserable life / death of these poor beings without a future? We are bombarded by desperate appeals. As you can ignore them and prefer to sow doubts against animal rights organizations for over 20 years to help them spit blood?

A: No

, Sign. Meyer, I have never visited the kennels of the South Italy. I have enough that I could see the video on YouTube, the testimonies, the data horrible ... I limit myself to the miserable life of the kennels North, which, in my opinion should be healed and be made fit for use on site and open to the public without too many restrictions, but with documents in hand for every visitor! Now I'm almost nurseries, and if they are not healed in time-and we are miserably lagging behind on the timetable will remain eternal priorities-such as if nobody really intervene to protect them. For the series, "wash their dirty linen at home" and not always be lagging behind Europe. It 'also right to stress the fact that Italy is not really the stepmother of these animals forgotten by God and man, but the uterus is the same, and as such should be duly safeguarded. Children must always remain within their mother, and not to the same inglorious torn by the promise of a fairytale life - while possible-and then projected or thrown into the darkness of a stepmother true that has nothing to do with the country and the true origins of the same creature. The commitment of the institutions must focus on this absolutely must be remedied and the animals on site. No foreign travel, then. Would you, you, really be torn from your mother? NOT ME, YET WITH MY MOTHER HAD A RELATIONSHIP highly confrontational. The country is our mother, how can we forget? Move a living and sentient from place to place, making travel hundreds of miles without his endorsement, his opinion ... and you if you were in his place? If you were those of you unable to speak, to express their thoughts? Have you thought for a moment? I did, and as free as the wind I struggled not to live this experience. But even moving from south to north. Hats off to you, Meyer and associations that you believe and you're fighting for this, but it is a fact of reality that these animals can not for obvious reasons have their say. Unfortunately I do not agree and I know to be a drop in the bucket. For me it is impossible to believe that in the Motherland you can not resolve a problem that has continued for over twenty years. State funds have been budgeted by the greedy in order to limit the stray dogs, then one wonders how it could be a situation so out of hand dramatic. And then, why we can claim the right to extract an animal from its environment without really knowing what is best for these?
course, shame is immense and I agree with you, Meyer and the concept of an Italy Third World. However reminded of a dramatic question that touches the kennels 'lager' Italians, even if these are only of kennels and just: because where there is corroborated by testimonies and last names on the realities of our kennels North, it is shamefully accused of belonging to organizations or political factions?
A small example to follow is the bunting situation of the moment, as a dogma and Pandino where kennels are defined by popular lager although this non è vero. Diamine, li ho visitati, li ho visti!!!
Sono canili aperti al pubblico e ci sono un pugno di cani, non di più, ergo controllabilissimi. E' veramente terribile dover accogliere le rimostranze di chi si ostina a definirli dei campi di concentramento per animali alla stregua di troppi altri. Perchè fare di tutte le erbe un fascio? Ma perchè volete che questi canili vengano perpetuamente tacciati come feccia anche se non lo sono? Io ci sono stata, certo, i cani sono nei box, ma c'è qualcuno che li sgamba, e non parlo propriamente di volontari o associazioni. Io ho visto anche privati! Perchè non si vuol credere a testimonianze firmate col proprio nome?
Ma questo non è importante laddove si è voluto see Mark, however, even though there was no reason to see it.
I tell you one thing, though, know that a kennel is always a pound, so a hospital is always a hospital and an orphanage is always an orphanage.
not turn the omelette to the ordinary citizen well-being of the latter as they are mayors, municipalities, organizations and institutions to be held to account.
fails to comply with obligations to help and rescue operators themselves? The face you pay to them, not the poor animals.
many of us have a roof to shelter and those living on the street, the same way as strays?
I say that there are many, and these are the shelters, the love of many volunteers who work to not leave these unfortunate brothers in a forgotten corner. This may not be possible for our animals? Really?
I do not believe, and do not want it that way.



*** you, in addition to sow doubt, but for those one million six hundred thousand of desperate endeavor producing adoptions, right?

R:

Sign. Meyer, believe me, if I could save well over this number of animals! This is a question a little provocative, but I do not want to spark any controversy and say quietly, in my yardstick and action, in full clarity of conscience, as the wicked will be the thing.
For nearly forty years, that is my age, I live with rescued animals from the most absurd situations. I did not know the year of my life in their absence. I gave almost everything to do proud of them. I do not regret, I do not complain and do it again until the end of my days, because I realized that a thousand friends there is only one truly sincere: an animal. Obvious? Apparently, this will seem, but I do not process the intentions and I'm not presuming to judge of all. I talk with my heart in my hand, though they may consider 'enemies' for our views disagree, basing what I say with personal experience. Given that in the morning, though aware of the approach of a day nefasta, so di poter essere felice perchè il mio cane e i miei gatti mi cercano, e non solo perchè possono aver fame, ho anche cognizione di aver salvato a molti di loro la vita. Non è tanto per dire. Certo, il mio limite è commisurato alla mia disponibilità economica e di spazio, eppure mi ripeto sempre che se almeno la metà dei nostri concittadini facesse lo stesso, saremmo ad un buon punto di civiltà. Do da mangiare a tutti, non solo ai miei animali. Ormai il mio balcone e il mio giardino sono un porto di mare, e ne sono felice. Abitando in campagna e non dovendo litigare con il vicino di casa, faccio del mio spazio quel che più mi si aggrada. Il mio giardino offre ospitalità a tutti gli animali di 'passaggio', che siano these dogs, cats, chickens, chickens, ducks. Everything and everyone.
My husband and I made our choice and not only for the disabled, we have sacrificed for the cause that animal to feel in the marrow. We do not give a damn about the dinners, pizza with friends, cinema, discos. All pretensions useless. After all, what's better than watching a movie with your dog on his lap and knees to make pet? Nothing, at least not for us. We believe only what we could do more for our animals and our guests 'pass'. And not only.
This makes us rich, still goes, whatever happens.
When the animals look at us, even when we scratch or growl at times 'No', we know we have done and do everything that was and is in our possililità to offer them a decent life. We do not want a medal, we do not want a pat on the shoulder. All we need is a cat or a dog as we passed that she rubs tearing his clothes. That's all we need, that gives us satisfaction.
We can not offer them the world, but we know that out of our territory we can not ensure effective protection, ergo circumscribe adoptions among friends and relatives know to do the right thing. We can control the 'after'. Sign. Meyer, as private citizens we can do, but what we do in our limitations come from the heart. The Is that enough?
I do not dare to speak only for myself, not now. Added to this are the names of my husband and my sister who lives with us.
A whole family that has always dedicated itself to animals. We do things big, Sign. Meyer. We limit our actions based on what we can offer a concrete way.
We hope this article has fulfilled at least part of his questions, trusting in his efforts on behalf of those who have no voice, observing his work and his point of view.
If we could be friends, at least for the sake of the animals we can not really consider us enemies.

Lump Just Inside The Noes

Episodes - The Crusades. In memory

Verso l’anno Mille, complice la spinta demografica ed economica che investe l’Europa in piena ripresa, e con essa la voglia da parte della Chiesa di liberarsi dell’ energia e della concorrenza del ceto cavalleresco - sempre in vena di scorribande e in costante cerca di nuovi feudi -, si assite al sorgere di una particolare forma di pellegrinaggio. Il 27 novembre 1095, nel famoso concilio di Clermont-Ferrand (città che, tra l'altro, darà i natali a Blaise Pascal), le parole di Urbano II (qui accanto ritratto episode in a fresco of the twelfth century.) kick off "this lle large mass of trips organized by the famous tourist agency, the papal domain pax" (Riccardo Marasco), which will later be called the Crusades.

Cruciata is actually a late period of the thirteenth century, when now the phenomenon has been institutionalized and is used by the Church against many of his political enemies (for the accused 'at as infidels, as the Albigensian heretics or Frederick II, called it the Antichrist). Originally the invitation of Urban was a pilgrimage - pilgrimage - of atonement to the Holy Land. And indeed it was a pilgrimage, only that it was an armed pilgrimage , as historians call it, because, "as it passed through from there," Urban urged the pilgrims to assist in the Church of the East against infidels.

be remembered, incidentally, that the oppression of the Turks on the Christian communities of the East and the pilgrims going to Jerusalem can not be considered decisive reason for the crusade, since the so-called "infidels", since the time of Muhammad, had been very tolerant and allowed Christians and Jews in the profession of their faith - in exchange for a fee - except that ensured their forms of authority and autonomy "of their fellow residents in the territories Christians do not even dreamed of" (Vitolo). Among these pathways was also the possibility of a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, but Christians seemed esserselo forgotten.

However, from 1095 to 1270 Christians in several waves (there are seven, some go to nine) will try to recapture Jerusalem, as well as giving rise to a brief occupation of the Holy City (1099-1187) to a series of episodes queer (so that in me focus on the first and fourth shipment) and bringing to the fore rather bizarre characters.

Jacque Le Goff has argued that the sole result of the crusade was the 'APRICOT ( al-braquq; Le Goff, 1969, p.95), whose cultivation seems to spread into Europe after the rides Middle East (but few deny). Add to it, out of curiosity of headaches, so-called locusts crusades, invading and "at that time infested the southern part of Abruzzo and Campania, and large clouds the plains of Puglia."



I - Peter of Amiens and fanaticism of the Poor

The first to incorporate the religious enthusiasm aroused by the crusading movement was an itinerant preacher, that Peter of Amiens, said the hermit because he went around in rags and riding a donkey [ as shown in the illustration, taken from the parchment manuscript Roman du Chevalier du Cygne (1270 ca)] A man of little education but great speech, his speech in 1075 with Peter Ruscha put together a large group of poor and marginalized , poorly armed and without any form of organization. On horde of more than 12,000 people among the poor, women, children, impatient of all disciplines who marched to the East through the valleys of the Rhine and Danube to the cry "God wills it" (the Deus volt).

The passage of burning derelict everywhere was marked by looting and massacres of Jews, provoking the reaction of local lords and bishops. Eventually, however, those who survived the massacres and the fatigue of travel, including old men, women and children, arrived at their destination. Once there, they were slaughtered by the Turks.

Peter was one of the few who managed to escape and waited for the arrival of the crusade to Constantinople "official."

When they reached the crusaders sent by the other kings in Europe, Peter followed them, as Wikipedia is edited by stress, "but not in a position of excellence."

During the siege of Antioch even tried to escape, but was soon recaptured. After a few months filming credibility among the crusaders.

Once he reached Jerusalem, his Sermon on the Mount of Olives was followed by the sacking of the city and the massacre of the defenseless inhabitants of the Holy City: Jews and Muslims.

II - Second attempt

The Second Crusade (as above) was a failure, all those who participated in pursuing their political objectives, to the great wrath of the Pope, looking for example, as in the case of Roger II, to rub the domains Byzantines in the Peloponnesus.

Meanwhile Saladin recaptured Jerusalem in 1187


III - Third Crusade

How can Saladin had recaptured the Holy City? The question was answered in the organization of the Third Crusade, that of Robin Hood. Participate Frederick Barbarossa, King of France Philip Augustus, King of England Richard the Lionheart (photo). But the results were again poor, even the poor Barbarossa drowned in Salef 1190 while crossing the river in Anatolia.


Nothing done. Jerusalem remains in the hands of the infidels.













4 - Fourth Crusade "blatant deviation of the Bosphorus."

Innocent III (the great pope of the papal centralism etc. etc.) decided to try again, by announcing a crusade in 1198 with the dual purpose of 1) to recover Jerusalem for Christianity and 2) bring the Eastern Church under the papal sovereignty. For various problems (including the death of Richard the Lionheart), the departure was postponed from year to year. We managed to get going until 1202.

In 1202 the crusaders gather in Venice ready to set sail and reach the East by sea, but come on-site notice unfortunately do not have enough money to pay for transport. What to do?

The Doge Enrico Dandalo took over the initiative and offered free transport to fighters provided that you did stop in Zadar, to recover the city that was given to the Hungarians. The Crusaders stormed the city and agree with the usual looting, sending back the pope on a rampage. They had forgotten that the Hungarians were the most Catholic people of the Balkans, whose conversion was one of the greatest successes of the Western Church. Even the pope himself was to send the crown with the crooked cross (is in the church in Budapest and is the pride of post-communist Hungary) to the Hungarian King Stephen I in 1000. In addition, the Hungarian king, who before the date was known as Prince Vaik and later was made a saint, however (Bloch 1999, p.26), it was even "writing" alla stessa crociata che gli aveva saccheggiato la città! Per tale ragione Innocenzo III decise di scomunicare la crociata. I diversi baroni dichiararono però di essere stati ricattati e costretti da Venezia alla sciagurata azione; il papa allora tolse loro la scomunica che andò completamente a carico dei veneziani.

Intanto dopo questo intoppi diplomatici i crociati riprendono il viaggio. E cosa succede?

Altro colpo di scena. Il doge riesce a convincere i capi crociati ad un nuovo cambiamento di programma: perché non puntare sulla conquista di Costantinopoli invece che di Gerusalemme? La città, capitale dell’impero Eastern Roman Empire is surely the richest of the holy city, then Alexis, pretender to the throne, promised generous compensation and participation in the crusade if you had installed on the throne.

Here is the crime that happens, "blatant deviation of the Bosphorus." Constantinople was taken and for how horribly PURPOSE sacked in 1204. The Green Pope rage.

When the greed of the spoils subsided it was provided - in the skillful direction of Dandalo - the division of the kingdom and the foundation of 'Latin Empire of the East. A quarter of this, together with the title of emperor, he was assigned to Baldwin of Flanders.

Sayings To Go With Candies



Saturday, September 12, 2009 in Milan Cathedral, and live on RAI 1 has been conducted State Funeral of Michael Nicholas Salvatore Bongiorno.

Michael Nicholas Salvatore Bongiorno, Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic , the highest honor of the Italian Republic, is intended to
" reward merit acquired to the Nation in the field of literature, arts, economy and the disengagement of public functions or activities for social, philanthropic and humanitarian, as well as for long careers in the civil service and reported and military " ( from the site of the Quirinal )
had been given highly- in 2004, for its crisp and clear merit acquired to the Nation.

So consistently September 9, 2009 the Council of Ministers with the Prime Minister proposing resolved 'the
Assumption by the State expenditure for the funeral of Mike Bongiorno, pursuant to Act Feb. 7, 1987, No 36.

But what says the law February 7, 1987, n.36 ?

State Funeral

Who is

Law February 7, 1987, No 36, entitled "State regulation of the funeral of" states that they belong to the highest authorities of the republic, or after the termination of it, may also be made, upon resolution of the Council of Ministers, personalities who have offered special services to Homeland or citizens who have shown the nation , or citizens killed in the line of duty and victims of terrorist acts or organized crime.


But this Grand Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic, which had acquired to the Nation merit in the field of letters ...? ... The arts? ... in the hallway and in the field of social activities for ...? ... philanthropic? humanitarian ...? ... Oh well he had acquired to the Nation merit, and that was more a personality that had offered special services to the country and a citizen who had shown the nation, in practice, who was it? what did he do?
( Warning for purists: this is an attempt to surrender speech )

was a presenter of a quiz and teleshopping.



can not escape as all those solemn honors conferred by the institutions and the state to host a quiz and teleshopping is a symptom, a symbol, and further confirmation of the primary and essential role that television is come to play in society, politics and the State in Italy, had become almost an institution in itself.
Moreover, to support this thesis, it is sufficient to observe that our prime minister is an entrepreneur television, Porta a Porta has almost risen to the unofficial "third chamber" and the percentage of citizens who according to the 2008 Annual Report Censis , usually follow (at least 3 times a week) the general television is 85 .6%, and a 20.6% habitually watching satellite TV and a 7.7% using the DTT.


That said, we try to bring Michael Nicholas Salvatore its proper dimension, and to do this, we will make use of the analysis conducted by Umberto Eco in his "Phenomenology of Mike Bongiorno" back in 1961 (only seven years after the birth of TV [1954]), which, although written 48 years ago now, retains all its sharpness and expressiveness, and remains a viable ideology of the average exposure (CRE) (the monster, dangerous delinquent, conformist, colonialist, racist, slave, regardless of PPP discussed earlier in this posting ).

Umberto Eco - Phenomenology Mike Bongiorno
Minimum Diary (1963)
facsimile reproduction of the original verbatim ac litteratim in short I've copied the hand in the best tradition of the friars scribes.

Man circuit from media is at the bottom, among all his fellows, the most respected: not you ask him never to become that what he already is. In other words, are caused along the lines of his wish to study trends. However, since one of which he is entitled to compensation narcotics and evasion in the dream, the presents usually between him and which would establish a voltage. To eliminate any liability shall, however, to ensure that these ideals are in fact unattainable, so that the tension will be resolved in a projection and not a series of operations designed to change the actual state of affairs. In short, he was asked to become a man with a refrigerator and a television 21 inches, that is, they are asked to remain as it is adding to the objects that have un frigorifero e un televisore; in compenso gli si propone come ideale Kirk Douglas o Superman. L'ideale del consumatore di mass media è un superuomo che egli non pretenderà mai di diventare , ma che si diletta a impersonare fantasticamente, come si indossa per alcuni minuti davanti a uno specchio un abito altrui, senza neppur pensare di possederlo un giorno.

La situazione nuova in cui si pone al riguardo la TV è questa: la TV non offre, come ideale in cui immedesimarsi, il superman ma l' everyman . La TV presenta come ideale l'uomo assolutamente medio. A teatro Juliette Greco appare sul palcoscenico e subito crea un mito e fonda un culto; Joséphine Baker scatena rituali idolatrous and gives its name to an era. Appears on TV several times the face of Juliette Greek magic, but the myth does not even born, the idol is not her, but announcer, and among the most beloved and famous announcers will be precisely the one that best represents the average characters : modest beauty, sex appeal limited, questionable taste, some home expressionless.

Now, in the field of quantitative phenomena, the average is just half a term, and for those who have not yet been standardized, it represents a milestone. If, in the familiar joke , statistics is a science on a daily basis so if a man eat two chickens and another no, those two uomini hanno mangiato un pollo ciascuno - per l'uomo che non ha mangiato, la metà di un pollo al giorno è qualcosa di positivo a cui aspirare. Invece, nel campo dei fenomeni qualitativi, il livellamento alla media corrisponde al livellamento a zero. Un uomo che possieda tutte le virtù morali e intellettuali in grado medio, si trova immediatamente a un livello minimale di evoluzione. La "medietà" aristotelica è equilibrio nell'esercizio delle proprie passioni, retto dalla virtù discernitrice della "prudenza". Mentre nutrire passioni in grado medio e aver una media prudenza significa essere un povero campione di umanità.
Il caso più vistoso di riduzione del superman all' everyman lo abbiamo in Italy and in the shape of Mike Bongiorno in the history of his fortune. Idolized by millions of people, this man owes his success to the fact that in every action and every word of the character which gives life before the cameras reveal a combined absolute mediocrity (this is the only virtue which he possesses in excess of grade) an immediate and spontaneous charm explained by the fact that he did not feel any building or scenic fiction: it seems that he sells for what it is and what is likely to not put any audience in a state of inferiority, even the most ill. The viewer sees the glorified and honored with national authorities officially the portrait of his own limitations.

To understand this extraordinary power of Mike Bongiorno need to carry out an analysis of his behavior, to a real "Phenomenology of Mike Bongiorno," which means, with this name is given, not man, but the character.

Mike Bongiorno is not particularly handsome, athletic, courageous, intelligent. It is, biologically speaking, a modest degree of adaptation to the environment. Love from tributatogli hysterical teenagers be attributed in part to the whole breast that he is able to awaken in a young girl, in part to the prospect that he allows us to glimpse a lover's ideal, submissive and fragile, gentle and courteous.

Mike Bongiorno not ashamed to be ignorant and do not feel the need to educate themselves. Comes in contact with the most breathtaking areas of knowledge and leaving virgin and untouched, others comforting the natural tendencies to apathy and mental laziness. Puts great care not to impress the viewer not only shows ignorance of the facts, but also very determined not to learn anything. However

Mike Bongiorno and shows sincere admiration for primitive one who knows. However, in light of this man raises the quality of manual application, memory, methodology and primary obvious: to become educated by reading many books and believing what they say. Not the slightest suspicion of nearly ua function of critical and creative culture. Of it has a purely quantitative criterion. In that sense (if necessary, be educated, having read many books for many years) it is natural that man is not predestined to renounce any attempt.

Mike Bongiorno professes a respect and unlimited confidence to the expert, a professor is a scholar, is the culture allowed. It 's the technical branch. The will refer the matter to competence.

admiration for the culture, however, comes when, according to culture, it comes to making money. Then it turns out that culture is something. The poor man refuses to learn, but it is proposed to study the child.

Mike Bongiorno a petty bourgeois concept of money and its value ("pensi, ha guadagnato già centomila lire: è una bella sommetta!").

Mike Bongiorno anticipa quindi, sul concorrente, le impietose riflessioni che lo spettatore sarà portato a fare: "chissà come sarà contento di tutti quei soldi, lei che è sempre vissuto con uno tipendio modesto! Ha mai avuto tanti soldi così tra le mani?"

Mike Bongiorno, come i bambini, conosce le persone per categorie e le appella con comica deferenza (il bambino dice: "scusi, signora guardia...") usando tuttavia sempre la qualifica più volgare e corrente, spesso dispregiativa: "signor spazzino, signor contadino".

Mike Bongiorno accetta tutti i miti della società in cui vive: alla signora Balbiano d'Aramengo bacia la mano e dice che lo fa perché si tratta di una contessa (sic.).

Oltre ai miti accetta della società le convenzioni. E' paterno e condiscendente con gli umili, deferente con le persone socialmente qualificate.

Elargendo denaro, è istintivamente portato a pensare, senza esprimerlo chiaramente, più in termini di elemosina che di guadagno. Mostra di credere che, nella dialettica delle classi, l'unico mezzo di ascesa sia rappresentato dalla provvidenza (che può occasonalmente assumere il volto della Televisione).

Mike Bongiorno parla un basic italian. Il suo discorso realizza il massimo di semplicità. Abolisce i congiuntivi, le proposizioni subordinate, riesce quasi a rendere invisibile la dimensione sintassi . Evita i pronomi, ripetendo sempre per esteso il soggetto, impiega un numero stragrande di punti fermi. Non si avvicina mai in incisi o parentesi, non usa espressioni ellittiche, non allude, utilizza solo metafore ormai assorbite dal lessico comune. Il suo linguaggio è rigorosamente referenziale e farebbe la gioia di un neo-positivista. Non è necessario fare alcuno sforzo per capirlo. Qualsiasi spettatore avverte che, all'occasione, egli potrebbe essere più facondo di lui.

Non accetta l'idea che a una domanda possa esserci più di una risposta. Guarda con sospetto alle varianti. Nabucco e Nabuccodonosor non sono la stessa cosa; egli reagisce ai dati come an electronic brain, because it strongly believes that A is equal to A and tertium non datur. Aristotelian default , his pedagogy is therefore conservative, paternalistic, cast in stone.

Mike Bongiorno is no sense of humor. Ride because it's happy reality. Escapes the nature of paradox as he was offered, he repeats with an amused and shakes his head, implying that the other person is pleasantly abnormal refuses to suspect that behind the paradox is hiding the truth, however, does not consider it as a vehicle authorized of opinion.

avoids the controversy, even on legitimate issues. Not learn about the strange lack of knowledge of (a new trend in painting, an abstruse discipline ... "tell me a bit, 'is there so much talk today of the future. But what exactly this future?"). On receipt of the explanation does not attempt to investigate, but felt rather let his right-thinking of polite dissent. Respects, however, the views of others, not about ideology, but for lack of interest.

Of all the possible questions about a subject chooses the one that would first occur to anyone that half the audience now would discard as too obvious: "What does that picture represent?" "Why you chose a hobby so different from his work?" "How comes to mind to deal with philosophy? ".

Bring cliches to the extreme. A virtuous woman is educated by nuns, a girl with colored socks and a ponytail is" burned. "asks the first if you , which is good for a girl like you want to become like the other.; fattogli note that the opposition is offensive, comforts the second girl, highlighting its superior physical and humiliating the schoolgirl. In this dizzying game gaffes not even attempt to use periphrasis: the periphrasis is already a agudeza and agudezas belong to a cycle which Vico Bongiorno is unaware of. For him, we said, everything has a name and only one, is the rhetorical sophistication. After all the faux pas always arises from an act of sincerity is not masked, when the sincerity is not desired but has gaffe challenge and provocation, the gaffe (in which Bongiorno excel, according to the critics and the public) is born when you are sincere in error and carelessness. The more mediocre, the mediocre man is clumsy. Mike Bongiorno gaffe bringing the comforts him to the dignity of figure of speech, as part of a label approved by the transmitter and the nation listened.

Mike Bongiorno sincerely rejoice with the winner because it honors his success. Please uninterested in losing, if they are moved in serious condition and is the organizer of a charity race, which occurs over a pay and convince the public, then flew across to other treatments comforted by the existence of the best of all possible worlds. He ignores the tragic dimension of life.

Mike Bongiorno then convince the public, with a living example and triumphant, the value of mediocrity. It does not cause inferiority complexes while offering himself as an idol, and the public pays him back, loving grateful. He represents an ideal that no one should strive for because everyone is already at this level. No religion has never been so lenient with faithful. In him is undo the tension between being and ought to be. He tells his worshipers: you are God, stay motionless.

Coffee Philosophical

The October 15 began in Florence, the "Celebration of Creativity" now in its fourth edition, among the countless events there is also a "Coffee Philosophy" theme will be "Philosophy, politics, religion and the topics covered will be: the encounter / clash between different religious cultures in an increasingly global society, the sense of" sacred " the delicate relationship between politics and religion and between church and state.

The most interesting meetings I think they are those of Saturday, October 17 and those of Sunday, October 18:
Saturday, October 17, 16:00 Religion and Politics SERGIO Givon, Emilio Gentile, Carlo Galli
Sunday, October 18, at 16.00 church and state Sergio Caruso, Gustavo Zagrebelsky , PIER PAOLO Portinari

About Zagrebelsky meeting on Sunday with former President of the Constitutional Court and Professor of Constitutional Law at the Faculty of Law in Turin, I bring to your attention the exegesis that, just yesterday, Zagrebelsky ha condotto del momento politico-istituzionale che stiamo traversando, analisi che ritengo molto delucidante.

Gustavo Zagrebelsky e la sua invidiabile lampada da tavolo.
LA DEMOCRAZIA DELEGITTIMATA
di Gustavo Zagrebelsky
Repubblica 15 Ottobre 2009


Si annuncia, anzi è in corso, una crisi istituzionale di vasta portata. A che cosa sia e a che cosa essa chiami coloro che occupano posti di responsabilità nel nostro Paese, sono dedicate le considerazioni seguenti, esposte in quattro punti concatenati tra loro, dall' astratto the concrete.
1. What are they and what are the institutions . The human race has discovered the institutions to curb the 'aggressiveness el' instinct to dominate that thrive - in a longer, more in less - in all of us to spread trust and cooperation, to ensure some 'stability and security in human relations and protect as much of the freedom that is compatible with social life. In a word: to drive away again and again, even one day, the "trials of strength" that accompany it, like ghosts can materialize, contact between humans. The institutions are primarily used to this: to neutralize our destructive instincts and civilized. Because in the end we are wild animals, we can also say: we need to tame, harnessing and directing our energy in structures, procedures, safeguards and controls, thus transforming them from destructive to constructive works of lasting.
not seem excessive to speak of the works and days of our country at this time, proceed so far and the bottom, that this little summary of the famous writing of Sigmund Freud's "Civilization and Its Discontents" (1929). It is a warning about what happens when the institutions s' weaken or disappear, swallowed up by the ego of those who impersonate and use them for their own interests. Or - and this is the same - is a warning about the dangers of spreading the idea that when they are encumbrances, or have betrayed their function and are now simply covers the political struggle. In short, this is the worst outburst of energy, that institutions and the "sense of the institutions" can not control. This is exactly our risk, the slope on which we made because of what, with an expression which was not abused longer grasps the drama, called "de-legitimization." Without institutions, everything becomes possible. The "showdown" pre-political, that is outside the rules we have set ourselves to "institutionalize" the physiological political conflict, is to doors.
2. pre-political conflict. Look what happens. Leave aside the too many who, as always happens, without waiting to see discover how things are going to stand by the "right way". Besides the many indifferent, taken dell'assillo of other problems, those who are stakeholders are divided by a rift that can not or will not fill. On the one hand, there are those who swear on the belief that there is an ongoing conspiracy against the President of the Council and its majority, led by criminal methods oligarchs politically irresponsible and corrupt judiciary, an end to anti-democratic: to contradict the result of free elections and put nothing in the will of millions of voters. On the other side, you would swear on the belief that, however, the way crime is that of a prime minister, in order to avoid criminal charges in court to answer some very serious and defamatory, wants to place itself above the Constitution and the law, changing for his own use and consumption. Thus, we face two charges: the attack on democracy, on the one hand, to attack the rule of law, on the other. This split is pre-political. Not about how to act within the rules of politics that are given by the Constitution, but even if you stay inside, or get out. Fly In fact, in both directions, on charges of forcing a groped. Someone speaks of "coup", without realizing what dice o forse rendendosene ben conto. Quando questo veleno entra in circolo, tutto – atti e parole che, nella normalità, sarebbero inimmaginabili o apparirebbero disgustose intimidazioni e prepotenze – diventa lecito, anche a fini preventivi.
Gli storici diranno di chi è la responsabilità della stasis , del punto morto al quale siamo arrivati. Ma noi ora vi siamo dentro e non possiamo consolarci pensando, ciascuno sulle proprie posizioni, che la storia ci darà ragione. Abbiamo il dovere di districarci nella difficoltà, per noi e i nostri figli, ai quali vorremmo consegnare un Paese pacifico e civile. Non serve a nulla, a questo punto, la ricerca della responsabilità originaria. Serve solo ad attizzare il conflitto. Non serve a nulla lo scambio di accuse tra due fronti che sembrano non ascoltarsi più. Anzi, serve a scavare ancora il fosso e a dare spazio all´avventura. Nessuno ha da rinunciare alle proprie idee, al giudizio su sé e su gli altri. Ma ora si tratta di prendere atto che la spaccatura esiste come "dato", come "cosa" che minaccia le istituzioni e, con esse, la convivenza ch'esse devono assicurare.
3. "Delegittimazione democratica" delle istituzioni". La minaccia alla convivenza va di pari passo con l'indebolimento delle istituzioni, con la loro "delegittimazione". È una storia che viene da lontano, che si ripete ogni volta, con l'affermarsi nella pratica e nel senso comune di un'idea identification of politics as a leader among his people ("I want to be someone like you") and of a people in its head ("I want to be like you"). Quest'immedesimazione in history has taken many forms and many names: plebiscite democracy, demagoguery, Caesarism, Bonaparte, Peronism, and so on. takes other forms and names today and will take in the future as a result of the technical resources quell'immedesimazione. In any case, however, those who govern in the people identifying with salt on there and people look down on everything, I can not conceive that there may be limits and controls. In the name of which, incidentally? Some judge or lawyer that wig is not that himself? Politics as identification o "identitaria" non ha bisogno d´istituzioni; le sono d'impaccio, anzi nemiche. Esse non possono che raffreddare un rapporto che si vuole invece caldo, tra capo e corpo, leader e seguaci. Nascono movimenti, simboli, inni, motti e frasi fatte, eventi e opere, ricorrenze, spettacoli, esempi, che celebrano e rafforzano quel rapporto e quella vicinanza, facendo appello indifferentemente, secondo che occorra, a nobili slanci altruistici o gretti sentimenti egoistici; ora adulando supposte virtù patriottiche, ora stuzzicando nascosti impulsi volgari. Si tratta di rappresentare il "paese reale" per impiantarvi una cosa che viene chiamata democrazia, anzi "vera democrazia", in contrapposizione a quella "falsa", "formale", "Empty", that is mediated by the institutions.
We assist in this process. In the name of "true democracy" (I can do what I want because I have the people on my side: true or false), the institutions that do not conform are labeled as enemies. Do not even imagine they can do their duty honestly that is not a burden to keep this or that but, for example, to apply the law and defend the Constitution or, for institutions of information, simply post news. Need to be allies of the enemy. If the power is "right" means you accuse of being "leftist." If the power had never left, the very concept of democracy le farebbe accusare d'essere "di destra". Ma le istituzioni della democrazia pur esistono e non è pensabile di eliminarle, a favore di una demagogia pura e semplice. Bisogna pur salvare le forme, anche per non essere banditi dal consorzio delle nazioni civili. Allora, via alle intimidazioni o – ed è lo stesso – alle seduzioni e, se non basta, via alle riforme per ridurre l'autonomia e l´indipendenza delle istituzioni non allineate. Così, si cambia regime dall'interno, lasciando l'involucro ma svuotato della sostanza. Così è per il governo, da rendere obbediente al "primus inter pares", per il Parlamento, da ridurre a esecutore passivo del governo; del presidente della Repubblica, per l'intanto tenant to make submissive, why not elected by the people (learn co-existence, waiting for the presidential system), the Constitutional Court and the judiciary, to be reformed to remove them from the sphere of law and move them to that of (subordination) policy.



The fourth point I intentionally resected, thus breaking the chain, because I find it less convincing analysis of the three points above , But if you want to examine independently the validity, click on "Democracy de-legitimized "and you will be taken directly to the article in the integrity" of the Press Room ".

Safest Way To Store Things In Freezer

GAZE OF THE EAST: "The taste of watermelon" by Tsai Ming-Liang (2005) Experiments

" A watermelon can not express what the words say, a watermelon in this hot weather is more severe nde gesture of love. Offer watermelon is the most sincere and economical to say what we have at heart, to inform the person a loved one that otherwise would not ever dare. The code watermelon is direct, immediate and precise. A small yellow watermelon means-the two of us there just friends -Izia. A large red watermelon as a gift shows the hotter of all loves. A small watermelon red indicates a love so that is about to explode. "

A-Shiang Taipei C hyi is a girl who hears these words on TV , Hsiao-Kang sadistically masturbating a woman through a large watermelon red, the city is gripped by a severe drought and the government recommends consumption of watermelons. "The taste of watermelon (but it sounds like the original title" The wayward cloud "that derives from a song and alludes to the loneliness of the human encounters) is the ideal result of" What Time Is It over there? "Shiang-Chyi returns from Paris and meets Hsiao, love who they like CONOS has never disappeared. It no longer sells watches (as in the previous film), has become a porn actor and works in an apartment in the same building where he lives Shiang-Chyi. The director Tsai Ming-Liang shows the loneliness of two characters (and their love) in a bleak urban landscape: the geometric compositions of the shooting on large infrastructure put in Taipei at the mercy of their players alienation, existential emptiness of the city and its population. The dramatic dark and empty carry is interspersed with musical interludes sung five of taste extremely kitsch, very colorful and imaginative, is mandated to tone down and explain the mood of the characters. These consist of entr'actes times more mobile and adventurous (as compared to the rest): the cinema of silence, the long shots still is an aesthetic choice for the director. (I quote an example at the end of break).

The film opens with a long shot over a basement and an extreme and fetish sex scene where the watermelon is physical metaphor of the vagina: the enjoyment of the woman is back at the fake sex pornography. All this in assembly and Shiang-Chyi alternate drinking watermelon juice in his apartment, and how can economize water bottles . Nel loro girovagare i due si rincontrano su di un altalena in un parco. Il regista compone la scena con quattro lunghe statiche inquadrature della durata totale di 6 minuti. Nella prima la protagonista ruba una bottiglia d'acqua, per pulire un anguria, a l'ignaro ex-amante che sta dormendo;

Nella seconda lo riconosce, si siede davanti a lui e rimane a guardarlo fino a che a sua volta si addormenta nella terza.



Nell'ultima inquadratura Hsiao-Kang si sveglia e guarda la recognizing girl, she wakes up and asks the one question / dialogue between the two films, "still sell watches?" confirming the identity of the protagonists of "What Time Is It There?".



Director in the composition of this scene invites us to look at. It is daily, it is not built to stimulate emotions easily (see: the contemporary American film special effects). To do this makes use of the pure simplicity of the still pictures at the edge of boredom: not using any technical device and drama to keep us in front. Only the "Watching" images, there must stimulate and carries the necessary information for the film. She looks at him while he sleeps, he looks at you while sleeping and we watch them through the camera (camera) is an invitation to investigate the watch and its points of view. The camera becomes a strong presence, not camouflaged, but his language reveals it to us with force as if it were a character in the scene.

is that after about 40 minutes Tsai Ming-Liang takes its characters to work in a museum where you steal water from public toilets and he dressed as a porn actor. This is the most metacinematografica the film: the camera takes a "set pornographic" featuring actor and actress, operatore, addetto luci e regista.


Il film svela i mezzi del proprio mestiere in modo agghiacciante: lo fa con un porno che celebra drammaticamente il falso sesso come nella prima scena dell'anguria. Non manca l'umorismo: a causa della siccità il regista è costretto a simulare la doccia tramite una bottiglia bucata, e le bottiglie finiranno prima del previsto. Quale è la differenza tra la mdp del film stesso e quella del set pornografico? La “nostra” ci m ostra un immagine che dobbiamo indagare (solo 3 inquadrature, 2 lunghe e ultima con eiaculazione facciale forse solo per provocazione) mentre la mdp del porno monta le immagini per dare ad un determinato pubblico una determ inata attrazione (cinema degli effetti speciali come cinema pornografico?). Qui (come in una scena allo stesso modo successiva) si concentra la maggior parte dei dialoghi del film: insignificanti. La solitudine dei protagonisti è comunicazione impossibile e solitudine sessuale, anche chi ha dei sentimenti sembra non riuscire a mostrarli a causa di una repressione che sembra costretta. Non a caso Hsiao-Kang si masturba di nascosto mentre guarda la collega recitare, si eccita di fronte al falso e lo fa con vergogna in un impulso di liberazione come di chi è costretto in catene a reprimere la propria sessualità, e anche qui il regista ci mostra in un macro l'eiaculazione dell'attore. E' in un video-noleggio porno che i due protagonisti si scambiano le unic he effusioni del film: un bacio che sfocia in enfasi sessuale improvvisa subito interrotta da Hsiao-Kang come a voler dire “meglio di no, ti voglio bene” che porta con sé un sesso malato.

Il falso come tema portante del film ritorna anche nella composizione drammatica. Tsai Ming-Liang's film tells the story through the shadows of the characters, projections of reality. It 's a false world that needs to come up with the girl that simulates a party with a watermelon. Shiang-Chyi is a colleague of Hsiao-Kang fainted in the elevator, the rescued, finds pornographic DVDs in his possession. He discovers that his ex-seller of watches is a porn star. The girl looks at movies and we become spectators of a spectator is not interested in pornographic video emotions: she is surprised by the implications of his view, is forced to look at images from a harsh and uncomfortable reality.


From here you get to the final scene which caused a scandal at the Berlin Film Festival 2005. The girl fainted in the set is shown pornography. Show must go on, even if you turn fainted. It 's like watermelon, only an object that reference to delight viewers of porn that therefore look like the image of the fetish of the screen.

Shiang-Chyi assists spectator from a window, the two lay in a desperate pessimism, under the false sex she begins to moan, stopped at the end of the raw blowjob / protagonist with ejaculation her face surrounded by her sex.
