Through the Looking Glass: Parnassus between magic and illusions

Nico Carlucci


In these days comes out in Italian cinemas movie "Parnassus: the man who would cheat the devil" by Terry Gilliam. It 'a show of Wonderland, factories desires and visual toys. About a man, Parnassus is played immortality with the underworld and wins give up immediately after love. Now wanders in search of men and women to seduce, with its fairy-rich bandwagon spells. Stunning is the interpretation of Tom Waits that is just the devil. The film is an extraordinary cast of dwarves, angels, dancers and lovers of magic and melancholy. And what about Heath Ledger that sets hanged under a London bridge? Here life and death of the match. We remember his death in January of 2008, just 28 years for drug overdose. "Parnassus" is the last movie that Ledger did not finish the work (or has ended?) Because of his death. The friends-actors Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Colin Farrel in the movie take its place and not even because you know it part of the game mirrors that of the characters and the extras crossing during the "show". Phantasmagoria of colors, surrealism of the secret depths of concrete representation of the character of Tony-fiction that will return and eventually hanged again, really (the death of Ledger that the "interpretation").
Who is the actor? Well, by definition, he "reads" the beginning and then accepts the fiction of representation. He has a "party" that stores and re-creates through its "interpretation". The role of the actor is born and dies with him that the delivery to "posterity". The latter, in turn, re-interpret wholesale-finished by the tragedy that goes beyond the show. The viewer is in and out with the actor that "applauds and says" fine "if he says it. And 'what happened to Heath Ledger?
The actor is delicate because he lives the fiction of what" is "on the scene, on the set, the cinema.Ciò also explains the feeling that accompanies the personality that "pretends" a character that goes by, therefore, from one role to another. And 'this, I think, the fragility of those who "re-flex" the soul. I think Ledger it was just that. The actor had played the figure of the joker in another movie "premonition", "The Dark Knight where Heath lives insomnia," bravery "and the anxiety of one who goes away too early (Oscar post-mortem) to "complete" the Life

Rainbows and Networks: exploring the Web

Nico Carlucci


manages a network of some speeches I have made this summer in the forum in which I participated. The anthropologist makes his "field research", original, full of stimuli. My actions are enriched by meeting with the participants on issues relating to the Rock of which they are a great lover. It 'was an exchange of "views" virtual, as will be delivered to the web.
I could not speak of Italy, the culture in which I live, but also the global Earth-country where I live.
The main theme of the exchange in the network are: the "death" of the rock genre, a few concerts to which I took in July, the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, the end of the "young" with the triumph of the "young" media,

U2
I write about a country, Italy, which produced the tunes in the past most beautiful, the song of poets and art as "truth" of the Absolute. Today, the model is that, unaware, ill-communist, non-invention in the arts and music. Italy "delenda est" write the anthropologists. U2 and their gospel "contemporary" re-proposed, last July, also at San Siro in a spiritual song that "kiss" the funeral of Michael Jackson.


To rob:

Rock music dies dies because the culture he had seen her birth. Internet creates the "non-places." As a consequence, the cultural model in which we live it is "informed". We are witnessing the fratumazione of time and space and thus of rock music with its sense of direction and his "dream". Myths become fragile, the gods have no more "kind". There is a vagueness that refers to the digit and how much is said about the supermodernity "which, unfortunately, sees the disappearance of the" big names "music.

About the death of Rock, I speak of a cultural model that is always A summary of traits. Noon I refer, of course, to a single cause, but to several causes. Today the art out of museums, becomes graffiti, "nowhere", running along the railway stations, metro lines. Of course, the anthropologist Marc Augé has theorized the "non-places", but in his latest book is rethinking them unless superando.La network is a sign of a kind of epistemological leap that is changing once again. The time that we live in is accelerating, not saving more as they did at the time of Myth. We are faced with new questions with the knowledge that even a change in the digital soul. Ah , it's U2, Madonna in July revived the dream in Milan, the chorus that I have called a "secular sacred". But what we have in the future?

Again Radiohead:

Yesterday, some newspapers gave the news that Radiohead will in future only single. Ends the "concept album"?
Well, it's the i-pod that makes the end, the music is downloaded from the internet that makes him stop. And back at the death of rock, the "dream" in a changing world with its sounds that become "precipitate" the model of "network".
They were not just Radiohead to promote their latest work on the Internet, through "non-places", exactly? I refer to "In Rainbows" that cost or less what he wanted to give those who sailed on the web to look for it. So skip the old economic law of supply and demand, the record company that now has no more "Ubi consistam. From genius Thom Yorke has understood well today "are" notes ", the light beams of the architecture. Some call it" panic time "(see Virilio), who" ambient ", Digital those who" new utopia " .

Intermezzo


But a Communist Italy will ever be able to love the rock? There is a bewildering provincialism in the country that proposes a neo-realism in the arts movie " dumb and out of time. But this does not happen in "Patria-world" music.

Woodstock

Yes, Woodstock invented "Youth" that existed in the past under different "bare". But today what is left? Nothing! There is a "juvenile" non-creative, stupid sponsored by the media, journalists, educators and psychologists on duty. After the rebellion of the verse, "Hey, teachers leave the kids alone" by Pink Floyd, they have come, alas, the showgirls, the girls with their "daddy", the models of the Milanese aperitif rampant. Madonna cries, in one of his songs that students violate their teachers! Do you remember what happened in "Columbine High School" which we also talked about Michael Moore in his film?
Where, then, are the "flowers" by Pete Seeger, where did they go?

What Victor says is true. The flower children are not belonged to Italy, "sin"! "Hair" is a musical "American." Italy in those years was too political, too "communist." Unfounded, the artistic creativity that we got lost because of it. Just think of all 'architecture' socialist 'in Rome with his "Corviale" true umanomostro. There, however, where the "proletarian struggle" was absent (I speak of the USA and England) were born folk, rock, pop. The protest, of course, there was a protest, however, does not party, not of "parishes", possibly linked to the Church and its speakers. I recognize the merits of some Italian singers of the 70 that expressed the aspiration of a revolt in Italy, but the Rock is something else. Speak of it, even today, the American and British music magazines that are almost always "copy" from some of the Italian ones. In the beautiful country, in fact, there are several: "Q," Mojo, "" Spin "," Rolling Stones "because, ultimately, there is rock.

The Land of Never: Michael Jackson, and new memorabilia

Nico Carlucci

Tuesday, August 4, 2009, in the middle of summer. It 's the birthday of Obama and one in which some newspapers publish the photo of the bed where he slept in Michael Jackson before he died. The picture is also track left on the pillow from the head of the artist.
Yes, the pop star Michael Jackson in the eighties world becomes star of a musical signature to which we bow down those who did not believe in the kind of music too "light", and moreover, as in this case, " black.
The image of the "double agony" that we see here was taken on the morning of June 25, the last day of life of the singer. On the bed there are signs of a man who felt "child" means a diaper for incontinence, a doll that usually "sat" on the deck, the box of toothpaste, prayer beads, similar to a rosary, a string hemostatic. While next to the bed are what the artist uses for his "clean" compulsive: rubber gloves, sterile cotton balls, tape patch. Child and "cleansing" compulsive we said, we already highlighted the roles of infantile regression and were experienced by the phobic Michael. But we do not. My goal is another.
I was impressed by the appearance, through this picture, certain categories of the sacred that spoke again of "power". Yes, the power brought to light by the historian of religion Gerardus van der Leeuw that wonderful pages devoted to the subject of his work.
The storm roars, the lightning pulsing spasmodically, the sea swells and the world is loaded, so power through objects, things, crowns belonged to those who died in myth. How can we not recognize the "signs" that the singer has left the relics of the powerful Sacred studied by phenomenologists?
The image of the bed of Michael, taken dall'obbietivo, "stop" the moment of the sacrifice of the victim, the shadow of Jack's head on the pillow is an eloquent symbol of what we are saying. In this regard, he returned with a different mood, memory, the "Holy Shroud", which gives Christ on the sheet, in death, the features of the Son of God
Even the "little" Therese of Lisieux during the shooting extreme hour fatal passage, right on his bed of agony "no comfort". It became the place, a symbolic and concrete, representation and a recording of "last" words of the powerful Santa (it was his sister Pauline who gathered in the journal entitled Novissima Verba ).
The dead man is powerful, the figure of dead-live of Jacko has a corporeal office of miraculous power that infects the items belonged to him becoming, in fact, saving relics, or as will be before long, "memorabilia". They should practice to fans and those who continue to look for in a "Neverland" (name of the park created by the singer) in a "Land of Never", which is not exists only in the uncertainty of the dream. In the Middle Ages
grabbed the living dead to lead them in dances or lamentable horrible marriage. By Michael
, stands, however, his songs in the classic international, will be "fabricated" video-film "unprecedented" in which dancers will appear in his footsteps.
Someone in the future will wonder if the artist is truly dead as has already happened on other American stars because, you know, the characters of myth does not die. This will happen because no one knows yet where the body was brought after the singer's funeral. But a body that is not dead, it belongs to the gods in the savings the corruption of the "tomb". We'll see!

Can Tendonitis Cause Anything

42 Street - Times Square: S 1 2 3 9 7 NQRW

Nico Carlucci

In his latest Marc Augé reads an essay published a few years ago and dedicated to the underground "supermodernity" (The metro revisited , Raffaele Cortina Editore, 2009).
Moreover, a scientist always thinks back to what is written above in the light of new questions. The French anthropologist in some way, reinterprets the category of "no place" that made him famous. Bankruptcy
of science? No, this is a continuous interchange with the culture and experience that makes the individual at the time of his study "lonely." The subway charms
because it is in the bowels of the earth. During the dark night of winter comes early on it a few women and many men. And the reason is clear!
Well, sure its trains are traveling in a "global" stations that are followed, Racing and foreign exchange, girls and boys running up and down. You can see the fashion with his moods, rhythms and colors of the moment, the nuances of sounds heard with the i-pod that will accompany the work of your new day. It 's a parade of people dressed in "festive" by means of piercing, tattoos and hair color, sex in ties and tricks, along with a few wrinkles "camp." You
near the veiled woman in a black Islam, sideburns, or Kyrgyz eyes of immigrants. In the metro
meetings near and far, the smells of oriental travel, shopping bags full of items of "global". It 's our contemporary world in a deep excavation, where people circulated for several reasons: to achieve' s office, schools, hypermarkets, home, loved ones. His wagons, covered with graffiti decorations and advertising are a fact of planetary zoo animals "strange" to see flow, one after the other, links the station with their particular names, in a ritual no longer sacred.
And high up in the galleries and see the computer takes over his people "transnational" in this "no place", indeed, that thus becomes an extraordinary adventure.
"Metro" is the daily take and read in the depths of the Earth, is the "home-world" of globalization. In fact, you find it in New York, Milan, Hong Kong, Rome, Paris, Stockholm, London, Oslo and so on.
"Metro" is the newspaper of "non-places" as are graffiti and spray covering cars, railway carriages, all that is the trajectory of art, out now from the closed space of the museum falling, without knowing it, in "real time" in the Western myth of supermodernity.

What Is The Bugle Sound On Base

U2: Magnificent

Nico Carlucci

Exit beautiful cd U2 No Line On The Horizon. And 'This is the 12 th work of the Irish band that draws on and re-founded the rock. Romantic epic, the work of U2 is sap that regenerates the soul's journey through the extraordinary voice of Bono that never lets you down, even now.
We find here, a little album for "The War" to go over to the East; pulsating contemporary gospel with the restless guitar by The Edge. And it's new "classic." The return of the "surprises" of "Achtung Baby", but also evoking echoes vintage in a job well cared for.
It starts with a jewel on the title of the album and one in which Bono sings with the powerful voice of twenty years ago. The Magnificent
piece, however, has a special explosive charge. Beautiful and "magnificent" This piece has a majestic introduction with Bono becomes absolutely fine performer.
We are faced with a crystalline melody with a dip back into the past.
Moment of Surrender is made up of strings, electronic beats, pathos. And then there's the organ. Fed-being born has, instead, an extent unique and evocative flavor of arabesques.
The album was recorded in different places and cities: New York, London, Dublin and Morocco.
Brian Eno and Danny together Lenois are the producers of this work is certainly in the U2 sound.
Unknowen caller has a dreamy atmosphere with the choir of the four band members The Edge and that gives us to a guitar solo of rare depth. The single
Get on your boots is funky and definitely different from the spiritual music of the album, refers to Vertigo. It 'important to say, however, it does not lose quality of the whole work. Continuing
listen to the poignant ballad of White as snow that vibrates and the feeling that Bono sings with poetry and dream. The closure is up to
Cedars of Lebanon when the meanings, the words are poignant as, indeed, in 'whole album. Here the soldier carries oranges pull out of a tank, the clouds reflect a minaret infidels e. .. the sun sets in Lebanon. It deals with the war in a recitative question.

Death of girl in flower and collective rituals.

Nico Carlucci


Death "live", the representation of death Live Eluana are desperate. For several months this woman, with her body, was the subject of attention from newspapers and media in general.
The group returned to celebrate, well, the girl's rite that signals through its "disease" and its "youth" as found at the base of society, ancient and modern: the woman and her communication with the world 's beyond.
No male performs this role. It 's the woman, in fact, that with his openness, his body makes the transition from the world of the living dead . It 's so that it is "narrated" in the literature, from' art, music, cinema.
The same attention was given to other cases of women-"terminal" one for all to Terry Schiavo. And what also Chiara Poggi, Meredith beaten on the front pages of newspapers because of their femininity "killed" and the transcendent? The female
penetrated by 'the abyss, humiliated and raised since a ritual orgiastic collective unconscious. Pure flower of a single day, consumed by a violent sun.
back to mind the 'ideal' death 'sung by the sublime poets.
It 's the image of the woman who does not change. And although death is never "nice", she is called to embody with his sacrifice. She alone, sign and symbol of 'holocaust of love. The story of
Eluana maintain, ultimately, the sacrificial structures of a culture, our culture. Hence we understand why his story is a story "home" to which all involved appassionatamete, believers and nonbelievers, television and radio broadcasts, church and state.
The tragedy is that as such is worn down to the utmost, according to his requirement, codified in the Protocol even secular.
After the storm, rests, time, edelweiss in the mountains of Carnia. Eluana, unforgiving violence that made you and me, I hope, have not done.
