JAIME JÁ FOI ADOPTADO


A família Rosa ficou com ele. Muito obrigado a eles e a todos os que se preocuparam.

General Franco, Caudillo de España

Material Book 8 (lido)


G.D.: What did you understand to be the purpose of philosophy and your role as a philosopher?
S.Z.: Oh my God, I don't think there was a clear vision of philosophy! I'm almost tempted here to quote the jargonistic Lacanian statement, 'It was something in me more than myself which decided', because it wasn't even a clear idea.

O meu herói / Quis outra heroína

Il Duce

Material book 7 (lido)


"Moments before Robespierre's death, the executioner noticed that his head would not fit into the guillotine with the bandages applied to his jaw wounds, so he brutally ripped them off; from Robespierre's ruined throat emerged a ghastly piercing scream, only cut short as the blade fell upon his neck. The status of this last scream is legendary: it gave rise to a whole panoply of interpretations, mostly along the lines of the terrifying inhuman screech of the parasitical evil split which signals its impotent protest when it is losing possession of its host human body - as if, at this final moment, Robespierre humanized himself, discarding the persona of revolutionary virtue embodied and emerging as a miserable scared human being.

Turbo-Folk - A Song for Larissa (estamos abertos a sugestões)

Sting - Russians

In Europe and America, there's a growing feeling of hysteria
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets
Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
It would be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too

How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy
There is no monopoly in common sense
On either side of the political fence
We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

There is no historical precedent
To put the words in the mouth of the President
There's no such thing as a winnable war
It's a lie that we don't believe anymore
Mr. Reagan says we will protect you
I don't subscribe to this point of view
Believe me when I say to you
I hope the Russians love their children too

We share the same biology
Regardless of ideology
What might save us, me, and you
Is if the Russians love their children too

O meu herói / Quis outra heroína

Mao Tse-Tung

Material Book 6 (lido)


"If one is to believe Mao's latest biography, he caused the greatest famine in history by exporting food to Russia to buy nuclear and arms industries: 38 million people were starved and slave-driven to death in 1958-61. Mao knew exactly what was happening, saying: 'half of China may well have to die'."

O meu herói / Quis outra heroína

Slobodan Milosevic (via Godard)

Material Book 5 (lido)


"Our first reaction to it is, of course, that the stupid bureaucratic Communist moralists missed the point: the movie is supposed to be tragic; Francesca missed her true life-fulfillment in love; her relationship with Kinkaid is what really matters to her... However, at a deeper level, the Chinese moralist bureaucrats were right: the film IS an assertion of family values; the affair HAD to be broken off, adultery is just an inherent transgression which supports family..."

"Today's predicament is that, if we succumb to the urge of directly 'doing something' (engaging in the anti-globalist struggle, helping the poor...), we will certainly and undoubtedly contribute to the reproduction of the existing order. The only way to lay the foundations for a true, radical change is to withdraw from the compulsion to act, to 'do nothing' - thus opening up the space for a different kind of activity."

AVISO

Por favor, preciso dos textos do livros lidos (e não me venham com a desculpa de que ainda não tiveram tempo; digam antes que não quiseram ou sofreram de uma apoplexia, ou até mesmo que faleceram etc) para organizar tematicamente os discursos.
Assim poderei ler os livros ainda não lidos, . Também não se ponham a tirar notas à pressa para agradar ao Grande Outro. Eu só quero saber com o que é que posso contar em Dezembro.
Quem já entregou (o Pedro portanto; e o Diogo, vá lá, mas muito mallllllll) pode relaxar ou então, porque não, ler outro?!?
ASS: O GRANDE DITADOR

O meu herói / Quis outra heroína

Vladimír Lenin

Material Book 3 (lido)


"This opposition is simply false: for what Habermas describes as "postmodernism" is the immanent obverse of the modernist project itself; what he describes as the tension between modernism and postmodernism is the immanent tension that has defined modernism from its very beginning. Was not the aestheticist, antiuniversalist ethics of the individual's shaping his life as a work of art always part of the modernist project? Is the genealogic unmasking of universal categories and values, the calling into question of the universality of reason not a modernist procedure par excellence?"

O meu herói / Quis outra heroína

Oliveira Salazar

Material Book 2 (lido)


"Instead of denying the charge, one should undermine it by radicalizing it: opera never was in accord with its time - from its very beginnings, it was perceived as something outdated, as a retroactive solution to a certain inherent crisis in music and as an impure art. To put it in Hegelese, opera is outdated in its very concept. How, then, can one not love it?"
