Yaz Emergency Contraceptive



culture and people

few days ago we received an email at the movies that lists the date and time of meetings for areas that the government plan called Frente Cultural Assembly. Only I had a look, but that was enough glance to see two things: that the first area to present their concerns was "Carnival" (by which I rejected immediately the alphabetical order of the agenda, as it then came AUDIOVISUAL or visual arts) and the absence of an area LETTERS.

Then, an old issue of Film Review emerged from the shelves of the library and suddenly current again. Is the number of September 1981, which contains an article on the death of Brazilian filmmaker Glauber Rocha. A box entitled "Populism only communicates illiteracy," quotes Glauber in 1968, referring to movies and Brazil, but uh ...

The Cinema Novo, rejecting film Imitation and choosing another form of expression, has also rejected the easy way out of that other typical language of nationalist art called the 'populism', reflecting a typically our political attitude. As the leader, the artist feels father's people, the watchword is' speak with simplicity so that people understand. "
In my opinion, is a lack of respect towards the public, with all that it can be underdeveloped, 'making things simple for simple people. " The town is not simple. Even when sick, hungry and illiterate, the people are complex. The paternalistic artist idealizes the subjects popular types fantastic that even in poverty have philosophy, and poor ones have only the need to form a little 'political consciousness', to enable them to overnight to reverse the historical process.
The primitiveness of this concept is even more harmful than the art of imitation, because the art of imitation has at least the courage of knowing this and justifies the 'industry of artistic taste' with profit objectives.
populist art, however, tries to justify his primitivism with a 'good conscience'. The populist artist always says: 'I'm not an intellectual, I'm with the people, my art is beautiful because it communicates', etc. But what connects? Generally communicates the alienation of the people themselves. It communicates to people their illiteracy, their very ordinariness, born of poverty that leads him to consider life with contempt.


But as everyone knows, Glauber was completely crazy. He died at 42 years and many obituary said he had "died in Brazil." "He was killed by Brazilian mediocrity, lack of vision, lack of greatness of this country" (Arnaldo Jabor). "I feel it was too good for a country to take advantage of it, the Brazilians should be aware of this tragedy, the most serious in terms of culture, died because he was unable to live with the misery of the world and the country" (Cacá Diego). "Glauber somatization to Brazil, and died of a clinical disease similar to Brazil" (Ana Ma Magalhaes).

Luckily in Uruguay there is nobody left who can murder. Or maybe he did.
