Il rave delle osterie ama il Papa:

curiositasmundi:

Tutti i giornali che si sono occupati della 86° adunata nazionale degli alpini lo hanno fatto con la tipica semplificazione giornalistica che individua un riferimento sostanzialmente irrilevante a quello che per loro è un tema caldo, sia esso classico (crisi della famiglia, Papa, bocchini di minorenni al presidente del consiglio) o contingente (Ius Soli, femminicidio, opinione di Saviano sull’uso delle infradito), e stravolge il significato di un evento per riportarlo al grande universo di senso sclerotizzato che secondo loro deve occupare il cervello degli italiani.

In questo caso l’occasione è stata rappresentata da uno striscione con un saluto al Papa durante la parata della domenica.

Ecco il titolo del corriere.it

e quello di repubblica.it

Quattrocentomila persone si concentrano in una città e il meglio che riescono a tirarne fuori è una parata militare e un saluto al Papa, ovvero l’idea di divertimento proibito che potrebbe avere Barbara Palombelli. Eppure i Quotidiani Italiani Seri provano a vendervela così, giusto per vedere quanto siete scemi o perché in Italia tutto ciò che è divertimento deve essere nascosto e condannato dal Moige.

“This piece was primarily a trust exercise, in which she told viewers she would not move for six hours no matter what they did to her. She placed 72 objects one could use in pleasing or destructive ways, ranging from flowers and a feather boa to a knife and a loaded pistol, on a table near her and invited the viewers to use them on her however they wanted.

Initially, Abramović said, viewers were peaceful and timid, but it escalated to violence quickly. “The experience I learned was that … if you leave decision to the public, you can be killed… I felt really violated: they cut my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the public. Everyone ran away, escaping an actual confrontation.”

This piece revealed something terrible about humanity, similar to what Philip Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment or Stanley Milgram’s Obedience Experiment, both of which also proved how readily people will harm one another under unusual circumstances.”

This performance showed just how easy it is to dehumanize a person who doesn’t fight back, and is particularly powerful because it defies what we think we know about ourselves. I’m certain the no one reading this believes the people around him/her capable of doing such things to another human being, but this performance proves otherwise.”

this is why performance art is important

Not So Long Ago, In Iraq

(via Vanity Fair)

“It hasn’t taken long for the Iraq war to feel like a relic of history. Although U.S. troops withdrew from the conflict a mere 17 months ago, the story of the war already seems set in a bygone era—circumstances that have quickly been buried under an avalanche of newer crises. Photojournalist Michael Kamber, who covered the war for The New York Times from 2003 to 2012, noticed America’s desire to tune out the war while the battles were still raging. Visiting home while on leave during the war’s early years, Kamber grew frustrated that Americans were ill informed about the conflict, leading, he felt, to a public that didn’t care enough about the bloodshed he was documenting. His frustration grew as the conflict wore on, as the U.S. military took an active role in encouraging public indifference by censoring what could be photographed.

Now Kamber has responded with Photojournalists on War: The Untold Stories from Iraq, a riveting account of the conflict as told by three dozen of the war’s most prominent photographers. Kamber’s interviews with his colleagues cover the war as they saw it—their passion for the story, their fears and daily complications, and the trauma they live with still today. Some of their images are among the most iconic of the war, some are previously unpublished, and many are gruesome, shocking, and utterly dispiriting.

The book is out on May 15, 2013, via University of Texas Press.”
