Padova: Alet

2007 260 p. , € 21.50,


In 1986, Derek Jarman (1942-1994) run "The Last of England "has already shot five feature films, including" Sebastian "(1976) and" The Angelic Conversation "(1985), in subsequent years" Edward II "(1991) and" Wittgenstein "(1993) will come out around the narrow festival, handing him over to a more reliable reputation, and in 1993 finally turned "Blue", now blind due to complications from AIDS. During the production of "The Last in England" with the help of his collaborator Keits Collins wrote a text which was released a year later, a sort of rough draft of processing more than the script, which was later reworked in "Kicking the Pricks," which came out posthumously in 1996. And 'This is the text that now translates Alet, tying it to the DVD of the film. Film and book are intertwined with each other by clarifying the, not only in the book talking about the film, but the narrative elements, which are barely mentioned in the film, in the book are carrying out a more relaxed, though in a style of building that is too 'it, like the film, rhapsodic, the result of corrections and additions, according to a method which Keith Collins gives an account in a brief introduction, the text engages a triangulation between author, film and public interest. Many materials of the book before the movie, others originate from the same processing, and others who follow him like a trail of interpretation, a reworking focused on creative practice, in a match between what will become seamless image on the screen, and what produces it. But step on paper, even the same materials, allows more space in memory, breath, even anger, formalized in the film since the coldness, the text is more shrill, wavering between fear and invective. The book resonates for a radical love, and congenital irrepressible for England, taken as a homeland even when it turns out terrible, "It 's a war does not matter if I lose a battle, someone else will win the war," Jarman acts on rubble of a destroyed country, waste of the Empire, the liberal Thatcher the shame of the Falklands War, in pursuit of redemption. "I was thinking how lucky we were to be forewarned of his death, in order to rewind the tape of life in order." Jarman was diagnosed in 86 HIV-positive test for HIV. The fear and pain that this news causes innervate the entire text, and the idea of their country and the idea of their bodies overlap each other in a continuous return.
"It's not a single crocus bloomed this spring, all carefully shredded bills from assassins. But that does not stop me. Like all true gardeners, I'm an optimist. "
perhaps more of the previously translated books in Italy ("Wittgenstein", screenplay for the film, with Terry Eagleton, 1993, "Chroma", 1994, "At your peril," 1994 and "Modern Nature - Diary 1989-1990", 1992, all published by Ubulibri) "This that is England "is a necessary book for those interested in Jarman and his poetry.

The Best Of Kates Playground

Ella? Ah ... - Greek Tragedy in tot acts - 2

SECOND EPISODE: THE CONFERENCE (O Symposion)

When the alarm at 6.30 feel I would hurl his garrulous trill on the ground and enjoy every piece spread on the floor. I do not do just because I have an alarm: I use my phone for that purpose, and I certainly do not reduce it to pieces.

Keep in mind my statement because it will be useful in a number of rows.

a hearty breakfast of eggs, bacon and antibiotic can unwind just enough time to deal a deadly air-conditioned buses to -15 °. The bus makes a kind of way of the cross between the various hotels in the area to pick up the conference participants scattered everywhere. The bus driver speaks only narrow but Attiches, mimicking the words "conference", "transport", and "latch," we can not only to have the step up to the technology center seat of the symposium, but will also win a plush teddy bear wearing an attractive t-shirt "Dora the Explorer." The experience is still useful to create a common cause and solidarity between the passengers of the bus, among which some Italians friendly and talkative, a good eyebrow and the Belarusian armed with only a lungagnone moleskine.

The conference room is extremely deluxe: comfortable seats, each equipped with a socket, speaker on the bench in the neo-classical and oblong desk for meetings, where.

background is also a round table for any oblong tables.

The principle of reciprocity.

The opening keynote speech was held by the dean of the matter shows that, as is now done with expertise from four decades of honest profession, the state of his research. Later the conference will revive viepiù thanks to some remarkable insights, partly consistent with the topics discussed, some very extra. Among the former, we can cite the presence of an artist who exhibited his creations made from a material composed of 99.8% air. I could not fail to recall a pleasant story set to the "Cul de Sac," a local free-jazz in my hometown at the end of one of his best songwriting to provide for third parties to my friend Maureen was asked "But now I do something to you. " From the audience went a providential "No, no, or else face 'nu pitete. If the least among you Puglia necessitate a translation service, I will just say that "'u pitete" has a composition Molecular very similar in percentage to that of the material used by that artist. Unfortunately, the remaining 0.2% is making a loud (and often aromatic) difference. Among other ideas worthy of relief, even the mention of an official report of the European community, in a tone of solemn and falsely reassuring, we understand that our every effort to milk the cow Community for research projects is aimed at an almost certain failure, producing as a side effect a moderate increase in demand instant Ethyl in the dining room. On the second day even mushroom from "chairman" or as moderator of a session presentation. Yves Montand to decide between an interpretation and one to the tank, are on the verge of opting for a low profile. Except that, since the profile far from my best side, I decide to flat as possible behind the counter oblong, initiating a new era of ventriloquism for the role.

I decide to keep the same style for my presentation that your audience sees dell'indomani decimated by the aftermath of the social dinner, and I get the approval of the organizer, a Greek langarona the profile of the same name, is not without curves well drawn. Our romance is dall'incombere clipped in the bud and the next session, with mature non-nonchalantly, but I treat myself to an Australian long-running shows that our achievements and excited about the way I pronounce the word "sudden." Our conversation continues during a coffee break where I can finally release the tension, while trying to maintain proper control over pelvic floor muscles (when the tension is suddenly released, there is always the risk of un'improvvida enuresis).

at this point I have to clarify who has never participated a conference that the sessions are often long and exhausting, arriving at last for many hours straight. In these times of crucial importance for every break justified by peeing in a cafe. In general, to give less attention and to disturb as little as possible the speaker's turn, you try to enter and leave the sly. On this occasion, however, the main output is huge and placed opposite the location of the speaker, which is why the two side exits become attractive and highly sought after. This strategy, however, is thwarted dall'insensato squeak one of the two doors, an excruciating noise which I find difficult to make effective idea in writing.
And yet, I'll try.

You have to imagine a pack of velociraptors, fasting for days, tortured after being lured by the mirage of food. Mike these lizards, deceived, disappointed, hungry and suffering, and force them to sing the soundtrack of Titanic directed by Celine Dion. Apply the highest level of dissonance, and add salt and pepper to taste. Now imagine just a little worse 'everything, and you've got a pale approximation of the grinding product that door evil.

roughly all happened to fall in the evil trap, creating a hilarious diversion during the most boring presentations, but only a select few have been able to fall for it twice. Fortunately, I was directed to a viewer of these cases, and the mixture of amazement, disbelief and uncontrollable hilarity changes I've seen painted on the expression of the actress of the company, the palaces along in my heart.

It is fatal but my pit stop for a pit-stop due, I believe, mushrooms the night before. I make the mistake of fact support my phone on the only media present in the Spartan (as it should be here) latrine, or the holder. Do not ask me what happened exactly. I just remember seeing my phone falling from a height of 80 cm and crashing to the ground with a dull sound left. The glass is immediately chipped, but it seems a little thing. Later a horrible black spot will expand on the display with Finnish relentlessness, making it almost useless.

I'd at least had the satisfaction this morning.

CHORUS: All
expect in a travel

few episode that is also a bit & rsquo ; erotic
Here, even if they are already placed under guard,
not go more than a mild antibiotic.
Olbia the pain and not to resist
Squeeze a little 'teeth and Hold decorum
Today begins your conference
Gee, you basically are here to work.
I listen and take heed
Follow and understand the state of
Keep a steady concentration
Although the squeaking squeaky part.
Serio and pierced, keep the attitude
professional to you that you frech?
proved worthy of the occasion
that after day, there is Greek night.
Watch the room and its banks oblong
On which, seated, you can torment you:
"If I had not eaten those mushrooms
Perhaps I still my phone ... "
