type='text'>Um Papa alemão na tormenta</title><content type='html'>"... compreendamos, acima de tudo, que o Evangelho fala sempre da Igreja como de uma Igreja de pecadores, o que é justamente o seu rasgo específico" &lt;br /&gt;cardeal Ratzinger in Deus Existe?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Que apenas meio século após o holocausto a Santa Igreja católica, apostólica e, sobretudo, romana, tenha eleito um papa de nacionalidade alemã, ainda espantou um mundo onde ninguém se espanta com coisa nenhuma. Muitos se escandalizaram, então, menos por considerações duvidosas, quase racistas, do que pelo perfil e reputação teológico-pastoral do novo eleito, o cardeal Ratzinger, com vinte anos de chefia à frente do dicastério, guardião da ortodoxia, da Propaganda Fide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quando se pensa que desde os tempos de Carlos V, até João Paulo II, só um Papa não fora italiano (Adriano VI), esta nova eleição de um "estrangeiro" era, já em si, uma surpresa e quase um milagre. A opinião católica e a do mundo tinham de lhe reservar um acolhimento e uma atenção à altura de uma tal surpresa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em breve o lado teutónico foi esquecido. Suave, delicado, grande intelectual, o novo Papa que sabia não poder contar com o efeito mediático de João Paulo II, nem fazer esquecer "o bom" Papa João XXIII, mau grado algumas intervenções no tabuleiro político, ou assim tido na óptica profana, que suscitaram reacções ofuscadas, conseguiu fazer esquecer que era alemão e tivera o magistério da disciplina e vigilância da Igreja. Duas encíclicas encontraram um eco atento nos meios intelectuais católicos e, para além deles, em gente que não esperaria dele textos teológico-proféticos, como os de alguns dos seus famosos predecessores. Tranquilamente, esse grande teólogo e filósofo, a par do movimento de ideias da sua pátria, relembrou na ordem da exegese, e em termos originais relativamente à tradição, a leitura da mensagem cristã como Amor, renovando-a na sua semântica, ao ter em conta os laços estruturais entre Eros e Agape. Sem audácias provocantes, um pouco na senda e como eco a um célebre ensaio de Anders Nygren, com esse título. O mesmo fará na revisitação e explicitação da doutrina social da Igreja, o que surpreendeu - dentro e fora dos meios católicos - gente que há muito o tinha catalogado - nessa matéria em particular, mas também nos domínios da ética e dos costumes - como um dos Papas mais conservadores, uma espécie de Pio IX redivivo. O que é totalmente inexacto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E de súbito, como em simetria com a crise do Ocidente na ordem profana (economia, política e ética), sofrida pelo comum dos mortais como uma ameaça e um desafio ainda em curso ao tipo de civilização que é a nossa, abate-se sobre a Igreja uma espécie de vendaval ético-histórico, ampliado pelo mediatismo planetário, senão de todo inédito (antes pelo contrário), o mais apto para atingir a Igreja instituição e a feri-la, não no coração da sua mensagem, mas na imagem que a define e caracteriza a sua missão "exemplar".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em nada, a título pessoal, Bento XVI tem a ver com esse escândalo, por ele mesmo descrito e sofrido como tal, mas foi sobre ele, sucessor de Pedro, que caiu o reflexo profano, mundano, desse fait-divers que não se parece com nenhum outro. É uma injustiça objectiva e ninguém o saberá melhor do que ele. A Igreja não é nenhuma barca angélica. Está no mundo e pertence ao mundo. Não existe para impedir o mundo de passar mas para santificar o mundo que passa. De resto, já tem no seu fundador o mais incontornável dos juízes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O drama - humano, social, ético e simbólico -, com que a Igreja se viu e vê confrontada e a que o actual Papa teve de fazer frente com determinação e humildade possível, pertence justamente àquele domínio do "oculto", para não dizer do recalcado, que conferiram precisamente à mesma Igreja onde ela foi - e é ainda - a instância não apenas religiosa e ética condicionante e sancionante dos desvios ostensivos dessa ordem, um papel capital. Em termos simples, e antes da era Freud - curiosamente também em vias de contestação clamorosa - esses entorses à prática ética, subdeterminada pelo continente submerso ou visível daquilo que é tido como "pecado" numa perspectiva que, sendo religiosa, é mais do que isso, fez da Igreja durante séculos "o confessionário" colectivo diante de quem se exorcizavam os "pecados" do mundo, os dessa ordem e sobretudo e, ao mesmo tempo, a instância do perdão e da remissão.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Claro que hoje e, em particular, neste Ocidente descristianizado as coisas não se passam assim. Como a Igreja, os confessionários conhecem os efeitos dessa desertificação religiosa. A massa indiferente dos cidadãos até pode receber com alívio ou júbilo este percalço espectacular da velha Igreja, instituição impecável que perdoa os pecados do mundo, revestindo à força, e dolorosamente, o estatuto de "pecaminosa", ela que é, histórica e simbolicamente, a expressão sublimada da consciência da humanidade como pecadora e ao mesmo tempo instrumento da sua redenção.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Numa óptica assumidamente profana, tudo se passava (ou passa) como se a Igreja julgasse o mundo e o mundo não a pudesse julgar. Ainda - pelo menos para quem nasceu e foi educado no seio da Igreja e com referência aos seus valores míticos - ou mitificados - não se é facilmente indiferente e menos ainda cinicamente espectador de um drama tão doloroso como o que engloba ao mesmo tempo as vítimas dele e os que dela abusaram sendo os guardiões não apenas de uma fé, como da sua mera dignidade humana. Claro que esse "drama" é universal, porventura o terá sido sempre. Mas desse "drama", sem sujeito próprio, o que importa no contexto cultural do Ocidente em especial - e não só - é que uma instituição tão singular - e para muitos de nós referência única na luta pelo combate pela definição do destino espiritual e cultural da humanidade - como a Igreja esteja vivendo esse vexame e essa agonia com uma provação misteriosa. E quem sabe como uma revisitação e rasura futurante de clamorosas quedas históricas da sua vocação redentora que continuam como um espectro a ensombrar a mensagem de luz onde o Evengelho nasceu. Em visita a este velho país cristão, Bento XVI, no centro de um drama que tem exorcizado, não sem coragem, não terá aqui, como o poderia ter em outros espaços, nem comentários sarcásticos, nem exaltações perversas de quem contempla a barca de Pedro outrora em excesso triunfalista, num mau passo. Apenas votos para que essa barca passe para a outra margem de si mesma, como o Mestre a convidou. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lisboa, 9 de Maio de 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://jornal.publico.pt/noticia/11-05-2010/um-papa-alemao-na-tormenta-19373709.htm"&gt;Eduardo Lourenço&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2997127648599725383-6609794480976763582?l=a-imitation-of-life.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a-imitation-of-life.blogspot.com/feeds/6609794480976763582/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2997127648599725383&amp;postID=6609794480976763582&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2997127648599725383/posts/default/6609794480976763582'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2997127648599725383/posts/default/6609794480976763582'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a-imitation-of-life.blogspot.com/2010/05/um-papa-alemao-na-tormenta.html' title='Um Papa alemão na tormenta'/><author><name>joão miguel amaro correia</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh4.googleusercontent.com/-2E_5G-9v1jM/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAB7Q/38E3iOD6IZ8/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2997127648599725383.post-8907062428937574329</id><published>2010-05-09T16:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-05-09T16:25:44.925-07:00</updated><title type='text'>benfica</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZyNC007lxqQ/S-dEXWWvjII/AAAAAAAAAxc/59b4Vs9mnTk/s1600/benfica.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZyNC007lxqQ/S-dEXWWvjII/AAAAAAAAAxc/59b4Vs9mnTk/s320/benfica.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;É por não gostar de futebol que sou do Benfica.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;Tal como compreendo como é que há portugueses que conseguem&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;ser de outros clubes.O Sporting, o Porto podem jogar bem e o&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;Belenenses e a Académica podem calhar bem em sociedade,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;mas só o Benfica, como o próprio nome indica, é o&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;próprio Bem.

Só se pede,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;em relação aos adeptos de outros clubes, caridade e comiseração.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;O Sporting, por exemplo, tem a mania e a pretensão de ser "rival" do&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;Benfica, um pouco como o PSN se julga crítico parlamentar do PSD.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;Mas, se se tirasse o Benfica ao Sporting, o Sporting deixaria de existir.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;O Benfica é um grande clube porque tem história e talento suficientes para&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;não dar importância aos resultados.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;Tem uma tradição de "nonchalance" e de pura indiferença que não tem igual&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;nos grandes clubes europeus.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;O Benfica não joga - digna-se jogar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;Não joga para vencer - vence por jogar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;Odeio futebol.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;Mas amo o Benfica.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;As opiniões de quem gosta de futebol são suspeitas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;Claro que os sábios são do Benfica. Mas a força deste grande clube está nos&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;milhões que são benfiquistas apesar do Benfica, apesar do futebol, e apesar&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;deles próprios.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;Em contrapartida, aposto que a totalidade de pessoas que são do Sporting ou do&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;Porto, por infortúnio pessoal ou deficiência psicológica, são sócios.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;A força do Benfica, meus amigos, está em quem não paga as quotas, que não&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: red;"&gt;vai a jogos, quem não sabe o nome dos avançados -

À falta de anticlericalismo popular, há agora uma nova forma de anticlericalismo intelectual de parte da esquerda « fracturante ». Enquanto não houver um Papa que seja mulher, lésbica, negra, de preferência não crente, e que vote nos EUA no Obama, os Papas, em particular este, são alvos preferenciais. E este acirra os ânimos de forma muito especial porque é branco, alemão, conservador, teólogo, e conhece bem demais a impregnação da doutrina cristã pelas variantes na moda desde os anos sessenta de « progressismo » esquerdizante. A absurda intolerância dos « fracturantes » exerce-se então em toda a sua amplitude.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://abrupto.blogspot.com/"&gt;JPP &lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O problema dos jacobinos fracturantes, sacerdotes da religião racionalista, é deslocarem o debate das instituições para o território da crença.

Ou a redução da &lt;i&gt;polis &lt;/i&gt;e uma mercearia de bairro. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E isto toma proporções tanto mais trágicas quanto, provou-se nos últimos dias, bastaria à política uma palavra.

Ao alimento das escolhas. A &lt;em&gt;duração &lt;/em&gt;é o que de nós e em nós produz a significação da realidade. É a organização da vida.&lt;br /&gt;Não na cronologia, não na narrativa linear das coisas que se sucedem nos rumores do jornalismo e nos murmúrios da ciência e no alvoroço da filosofia: a aleatoriedade, subordinada ao regime da in-consciência; a sucessão das imagens que nos habitam e não dos conceitos que erguemos e reduzem a realidade ao catálogo ambíguo das palavras. Uma espécie de complacência onde importa é a aguda consciência do eu no mundo. Uma nova ordem que emerge da supressão da realidade, o caminho de regresso, nova construção da realidade nova. O eterno retorno ao eu como registo e fixação e inscrição do eu-no-mundo. &lt;em&gt;Duração &lt;/em&gt;como recuperação e regresso da experiência do real.&lt;br /&gt;A experiência, movimento contínuo, não sucessiva, irrepetível, dos lugares e das coisas. A experiência e o desejo do consolo do mundo: a beleza é a transcendência do mortal, na sua inteligência – racionalidade – à sua condição passageira – animal.&lt;br /&gt;O elogio do tempo, da efemeridade das coisas que permanecem, que nos conduz na noite à união. Ser vivo com as coisas do mundo. O lugar, o salto, o abismo, o regresso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;E finalmente:&lt;br /&gt;feliz todo aquele que tem os seus locais de duração;&lt;br /&gt;porque, mesmo que para sempre seja forçado a partir para uma terra estranha,&lt;br /&gt;sem esperança de regressar ao seu próprio ambiente, não será jamais um expatriado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E os locais da duração também nada têm de notável,&lt;br /&gt;muitas vezes nem estão assinalados em nenhum mapa&lt;br /&gt;ou não têm no mapa qualquer nome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um modelo perfeito do mundo inteiro.&lt;br /&gt;[...] a festa de agradecimento da presença no lugar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Impulso temporal da duração, tu rodeias-me&lt;br /&gt;de um espaço descritível&lt;br /&gt;e a descrição cria o espaço que se lhe segue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[...] acabo por não ser simplesmente só eu.&lt;br /&gt;A duração é o meu desprendimento,&lt;br /&gt;ele deixa-me sair e ser.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;[&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://assirio.com/autor.php?i=P&amp;amp;id=1292&amp;amp;id=1292"&gt;Poema à Duração&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, Peter Handke]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;adenda:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ionline.pt/conteudo/36209-umberto-eco-o-google-e-uma-tragedia-os-jovens"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Quando interagimos com as coisas da nossa vida, tudo muda.

Ou uma questão de espaço. Ou é tudo isto uma questão cultural. Mas uma espécie de pânico invade esta Europa, adormecida pelos anos da prosperidade pós-guerra e que agora acorda, do sonho da paz perpétua para um pesadelo em que se vê incapaz de lidar com a diferença que foi acolhendo.&lt;br /&gt;Ou poderá ser a ilusão do mundo binário. Da distinção radical do &lt;em&gt;nós&lt;/em&gt; e do &lt;em&gt;outro&lt;/em&gt;. Da incapacidade do relativismo em assimilar diversos contextos ao negar a necessidade de conflito, ou dos limites do universalismo para ler o mundo a partir de outros contextos.&lt;br /&gt;De certa forma, falhámos porque fugimos ao conflito. Esquecemo-nos de &lt;em&gt;traduzir&lt;/em&gt;, como requer W. Benjamin nas Illuminations. A tradução, que convoca a representação e a reprodução, dado que toda a cultura é actividade significante e simbólica, logo, ligando-se, de alguma maneira, todas as culturas umas às outras. Uma forma de imitação algo equívoca, mas operativa na fabricação de um outro modo cultural. A origem é sempre aberta a tradução, que é sempre incapaz de albergar a essência do original. Mas isto não é uma perda: é a origem de um outro novo.&lt;br /&gt;De &lt;em&gt;hibridismo&lt;/em&gt;, fala-nos Homi Bhabba. Da hipótese de um &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;terceiro espaço&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. Não de um modo de reconhecimento de duas origens díspares, mas de um território onde o diferente poderá emergir. E o &lt;em&gt;diferente&lt;/em&gt; é diferente do diverso – e é o entendimento desta diferença a fissura do nosso liberalismo dogmaticamente relativista.&lt;br /&gt;A &lt;em&gt;identificação&lt;/em&gt; - como analogia psicanalítica ao processo de identificação com o outro sujeito – é ela própria &lt;em&gt;ambivalente&lt;/em&gt;, justamente pela intervenção desse outro. É aqui que se reconhece na proposta do hibridismo o potencial gerador do novo, do diferente, do irreconhecível, de um novo modo de representação.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por exemplo, os &lt;a href="http://www.publico.pt/Mundo/foi-o-medo-da-suica-tradicional-que-venceu-a-consulta-dos-minaretes_1412132"&gt;minaretes&lt;/a&gt; – e recuso leituras bicolores como a de &lt;a href="http://o-povo.blogspot.com/2009/12/o-povo-e-quem-mais-ordena.html"&gt;Helena Matos&lt;/a&gt;, que nos quer conduzir ao reconhecimento do mundo que se divida entre uma esquerda chique e uma direita ressentida – e porque é que os suíços recusaram em voto democrático a possibilidade de construção de mais mesquitas que ostentem o minarete.&lt;br /&gt;Uma leitura possível será a do medo e a do ressentimento. A mesma, aliás, em que aposta a provocação de &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Evil-Paradises-NeoLiberalism-Mike-Davis/dp/159558076X"&gt;Evil Paradises&lt;/a&gt; sobre a cidade global: uma cidade cada vez mais segregada e segregadora; guetização progressiva dos ricos – dos brilhantes arranha-céus - e dos pobres – dos bairros em que há a total falha de infra-estruturas e que se desenvolvem em torno desses arranha-céus; uma espécie de obscenidade debaixo do tapete glamouroso das torres do Dubai (que agora estão a derreter).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas o ressentimento que provoca a importação de modelos islâmicos do Médio-Oriente para a construção de mesquitas no centro de uma cidade europeia; o ressentimento de quem prefere fechar esta realidade, este conflito, sob de uma teia legislativa proibicionista - tenho-me lembrado muito de &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neville_Chamberlain"&gt;Chamberlain&lt;/a&gt;, da cobardia que levou a Europa à tragédia inominável.&lt;br /&gt;É nesta fissura que poderá nascer algo novo. Às reproduções deslocadas das arquitecturas islâmicas, espaços sociais de fé, poder-se-á repensar a mesquita, outros espaços de outras fés, à luz da sociedade e do pensamento contemporâneo.

agressão não é exterior; a violência é interior.&lt;br /&gt;se, como diz novalis, ‘estamos sós com tudo o que amamos’, a hipótese seria testar a suportabilidade do desejo. ou até onde o desejo estrutura a construção interior. ou a construção realista que empreendemos. claro que é só agora que essa solidão é aceite, tolerada e voluntariamente preferida - o que não deixa de ser uma construção torna a liberdade e a felicidade doravante quase quase completas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;permitissem-me uns minutos ali de abandono e, só à laia de início de conversa, encarregar-me-ia com prazer de

A burguesia sofisticada da cidade, brick and mortar, comoventes no seu reservado recato domestico.&lt;br /&gt;Desconhecia mas reconheci-o, sentado em Gray Street, ao Eca de Queiroz aborrecido com a cidade em pejorativa redaccao sobre o pais do sul. Taking coals to Newcastle, em jordie, fazia-o ele, em portugues, na esquina do café, sobre as lajes graniticas de Grainer e do neoclassico inventado para elevacao do civic center. Ao fundo, um caracol de aco e vidro e luz, que me dizem bonito mas de nao estou certo, sob o arco da ponte colorida.&lt;br /&gt;Ao fundo um gin. E o jovem poeta, emigrado do Cacem - porque a poesia?, porque a arquitectura?; a jovem arquitecta, longe de Coimbra e de um emprego; o jovem tradutor, a quem propuseram arrumar sapatilhas numa loja de Lisboa a troco de 500€; o oncologista; os exilados politicos de Cabinda, ainda crentes na improvavel vitoria do Sporting sobre o Benfica - tao longinqua como a democracia em Angola, digo-lhes; o pastel de nata, dizem-me, na chinatown ao lado do Tyne, via Macau, escolho as jackett potatoes.&lt;br /&gt;Ainda me falam dos carros incendiados na revolta anti-Thatcher, mas isso e quase impossivel de verificar na arrumacao sossegada das ruas e na multidao pacata que invade a Market Street.&lt;br /&gt;No fundo de um gin.

E a inventar, sempre e outra vez, aquele bocado de cidade feliz.&lt;br /&gt;Agora que penso nisso, Manuel Vicente é, de facto, um homem no mundo a inventar mais lugares para o mundo.

Justamente porque se anda em fuga do debate que recusas: o do &lt;em&gt;gosto&lt;/em&gt;. A estética não é de categorização subecjtiva. É uma disciplina, é também uma especulação, um conhecimento do mundo, uma forma de a ele aceder. Alegas a “&lt;a href="http://quando-as-catedrais-eram-brancas.blogspot.com/2009/11/nao-e-que-figueira-nao-tenha-razao.html"&gt;pura incompetência arquitectónica&lt;/a&gt;” – de acordo - , mas antes será necessário decifrá-la. Não só especificamente pelas matérias disciplinares como também o poderemos fazer pela via da estética&lt;br /&gt;Em Troufa Real, reconheça-se, existe o domínio do discurso da arquitectura, pretende acuidade crítica pela arquitectura, que é, no fundo, o próprio labor da arquitectura. Mas essa vontade é refém do ego do arquitecto que se sobrepõe às consequências da própria arquitectura – como referes e refiro-me à visibilidade social que é inerente ao erguer da arquitectura. Nem num muro cego nem numa igreja. Ao arquitecto está, deveria estar, vedado o onanismo projectual, porque um projecto ultrapassa largamente a ridícula ‘vontade indómita’ que o arquitecto derrama sobre o estirador e pretende derramar no mundo. Não é tempo do romantismo e da sujeição do ‘outro’ à subjectividade total do ‘criador’. O canhestro pós-modernismo que Troufa Real nos oferece, requentado, é, apesar da aparência, frouxo, vazio, de leitura imediata – apesar da profusão de signos e das alusões ‘mitológicas’, usa o trabalho do arquitecto como que guindado à categoria de demiurgo – o ‘gesto’, o ‘gesto’ – excluído do diálogo com, justamente, o mundo. E porque também alargas a conversa para uma sociologia da arquitectura, quando apelas à responsabilidade no momento do exercício criativo, essa responsabilidade é-o relativamente quer à comunidade, como disse, quer à própria História e prática da da disciplina.&lt;br /&gt;Continuamos em fuga quando negamos uma ‘política estética’, diferente de uma política de estética e sem qualquer pretensão paternal à António Ferro, com fim à &lt;em&gt;instrução do povo&lt;/em&gt;, que se sustente, melhor, que o seja consequente com um espaço público aberto e democrático. E ao negares o estatuto de autor a Troufa Real estás-lhe a estender o tapete da indulgência que o iliba de assumir essa responsabilidade que ele ressentidamente assume, valha-nos isso, até porque, reconheça-se, Troufa Real alimenta uma narrativa sobre o mundo. E essa negação deixará passar incólume a 'pura incompetência arquitectónica', prostrados que ficamos na armadilha de Troufa Real.&lt;br /&gt;A patranha está mais em remeter a arquitectura e a invenção arquitectónica para o beco da arte, que o não é, e com funestas consequências. O apelo à &lt;a href="http://jornal.publico.clix.pt/noticia/22-11-2009/uma-arquitectura-escandalosa-18261663.htm"&gt;liberdade criativa&lt;/a&gt;, um 'deixem-nos trabalhar' vaidoso, esse lancinante grito de Troufa Real, mina o debate logo no seu início. Por isso é que negar-lhe uma inequívoca (contra-)argumentação do gosto e da disciplina a partir do estatuto de autor a que ele próprio se remete é fugir ao confronto, aceitar o ressentimento argumentativo de Troufa Real, prosseguir no cortejo da indiferença. E deixar a procissão no adro.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2997127648599725383-8333211107961635408?l=a-imitation-of-life.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a-imitation-of-life.blogspot.com/feeds/8333211107961635408/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2997127648599725383&amp;postID=8333211107961635408&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2997127648599725383/posts/default/8333211107961635408'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2997127648599725383/posts/default/8333211107961635408'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a-imitation-of-life.blogspot.com/2009/11/no-adro.html' title='no adro'/><author><name>joão miguel amaro correia</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh4.googleusercontent.com/-2E_5G-9v1jM/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAB7Q/38E3iOD6IZ8/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2997127648599725383.post-6744883836325189752</id><published>2009-11-23T01:29:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-23T05:16:43.630-08:00</updated><title type='text'>pobreza partilhada</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" align="left"&gt;&lt;img height="316" alt=" " src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_ZyNC007lxqQ/SwpdUCWpfyI/AAAAAAAAAM4/G063ympDdlU/Imagem0055.jpg" width="250" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[...]&lt;br /&gt;A riqueza da vida reside nisto:&lt;br /&gt;um leve toque no ombro do próximo...&lt;br /&gt;[...]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;[&lt;em&gt;Momento num Café&lt;/em&gt;, Ruy Cinatti, 9.11.1976]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Aparentemente – e outro nome visual – &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ver&lt;/span&gt; encarrega-se de se definir a si mesmo. Vemos, aparentemente, vêm-se coisas. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Olhar &lt;/span&gt;é já do domínio da reflexão e do pensar. Exige distância e tempo.&lt;br /&gt;Ao &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ver &lt;/span&gt;isolamos as coisas, que nunca são coisas. Serão coisas só após dispostas pela vontade ou pelo acaso. São fios de relações. Ténues ou frágeis ou densos ou perenes. É esta a fissura do &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ver&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Talvez ao ver, ao isolamento do ver, o compare ao gesto do amor, que arranca ao mundo o objecto do desejo e, mesmo que no mundo, será sempre só na sua singularidade. Na sua diferença no mundo. Na diferença com que se vê. E é uma distância. Em sentido contrário à do olhar.&lt;br /&gt;Na duração do &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;olhar &lt;/span&gt;incluem-se, desocultam-se, as relações do mundo: os acasos e imprevistos, a vontade e o desejo, a contingência com que as coisas que olhamos se estendem umas às outras. São lentas revelações. Aparições minuciosas das coisas que se mostram ao mundo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na verdade isto é uma lógica simples, elaborada ao acaso da chuva, depois verificar as rotas diferentes de Edgar Martins e Nuno Cera.&lt;br /&gt;A série&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt; Room With a View&lt;/span&gt;, de Cera, reporta-nos as quartos de hotéis de múltiplas latitudes do mundo. E disseram um dia que estes lugares seriam &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;n&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;ão-lugares&lt;/span&gt;, não constituintes das identidades, lapsos nas narrativas pessoais. Mas constato nesta série, nos reflexos que quase cegam, que ofuscam os limites dos objectos, na diluição da densidade das coisas pelas luzes caóticas da cidade – a cidade genérica ou a cidade do viajante? – &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;o espaço como membrana&lt;/span&gt;, Mies e a fronteira de cristal, a utopia dos reflexos contínuos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;" align="left"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_ZyNC007lxqQ/SwgRF-qp4dI/AAAAAAAAAMk/x-ucuOoxdsY/6_aroomwithaview6barcelona.jpg" border="0" height="377" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;[&lt;a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.nunocera.com/index.php?/photography/a-room-with-a-view-2008/"&gt;A ROOM WITH A VIEW&lt;/a&gt;, Nuno Cera, 2008-2009]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O que em Cera será o acaso é em Martins a deliberada manipulação do real. Uma ficção a partir dos objectos que, e em Martins &lt;a href="http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2009/07/05/magazine/20090705-gilded-slideshow_index.html"&gt;suspeita-se&lt;/a&gt;, seriam acasos do espaço habitado. A deslocação das coisas, das casas, ao instante insuportável da sua solidão. A construção mental do que se ergue de um espaço vazio, que é já em si mesmo uma primeira – original – construção mental. A rarefacção do mundo na aparência das coisas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;" align="left"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_ZyNC007lxqQ/SwgRF_FSedI/AAAAAAAAAMo/IsdXXRQzX-A/EdgarMartins_PhoenixDowntown-thumb-450x352-98.jpg" border="0" height="391" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"  &gt;[&lt;a href="http://www.galeriagracabrandao.com/index.php?menu=exp&amp;amp;exposicao_id=103"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;A ordem de convergência de duas trajectórias de sistemas opostos&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.edgarmartins.com/"&gt;Edgar Martins&lt;/a&gt;, 2009]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2997127648599725383-7883471872695145857?l=a-imitation-of-life.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a-imitation-of-life.blogspot.com/feeds/7883471872695145857/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2997127648599725383&amp;postID=7883471872695145857&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2997127648599725383/posts/default/7883471872695145857'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2997127648599725383/posts/default/7883471872695145857'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a-imitation-of-life.blogspot.com/2009/11/sao-diversas-as-competencias-do-olhar-e.html' title='fronteiras'/><author><name>joão miguel amaro correia</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh4.googleusercontent.com/-2E_5G-9v1jM/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAB7Q/38E3iOD6IZ8/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://lh5.ggpht.com/_ZyNC007lxqQ/SwgRF-qp4dI/AAAAAAAAAMk/x-ucuOoxdsY/s72-c/6_aroomwithaview6barcelona.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2997127648599725383.post-8814822869502719834</id><published>2009-11-20T04:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-20T05:59:59.461-08:00</updated><title type='text'>o sentimento de um ocidental que odiava a cidade</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="left"&gt;&lt;img height="300" alt=" " src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_ZyNC007lxqQ/SwaJlOmezFI/AAAAAAAAAMI/lKnzv8jLZNc/004.jpg" width="500" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;[&lt;em&gt;Lisbon&lt;/em&gt;, T. Rowbotham, 1828]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Narrador da sua própria consciência do Tempo e da Cidade, recluso da penumbra de Anteu, Cesário encontra na terra, no campo, a evasão à cidade maldita, à Lisboa que exalava o gás da iluminação intermitente e frouxa, aos becos da decadência nacional e civilizacional, à frivolidade dos reposteiros aveludados – ensanguentados para o poeta -, ao adorno leviano que torna a civilização tão refém da futilidade como as damas presas aos espartilhos que lhes provocavam gemidos. E o tédio dos &lt;em&gt;foyers&lt;/em&gt; dos espectáculos da burguesia provinciana.&lt;br /&gt;Sujeito poético de si mesmo, um resignado do passeio público, ao contrário de Baudelaire para quem a Cidade é o &lt;em&gt;spleen&lt;/em&gt;, o êxtase, o arrebatamento, o enigma das &lt;em&gt;passages&lt;/em&gt;, Cesário propõe a Cidade, Lisboa, como a Babel amaldiçoada e condenada, espaço de horror dos imorais que &lt;em&gt;tossem e fumam&lt;/em&gt;. Um mundo que tem a redenção prometida na natureza bucólica, debaixo da penumbra dos ramos das acácias sob a luz da Lua Cheia, no vigor da terra lavrada. E a cidade é a mulher: frígida, vaidosa e predadora, mas também frágil e vulnerável.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sentado à mesa dum café devasso.&lt;br /&gt;Ao avistar-te, há pouco, fraca e loura.&lt;br /&gt;Nesta Babel tão velha e corruptora,&lt;br /&gt;Tive tenções de oferecer-te o braço.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tíbios sentimentais, estes naturalistas, &lt;em&gt;um camponês preso em liberdade na cidade&lt;/em&gt;, como lhe chamou Caeiro, um rústico da &lt;em&gt;absurda vontade de sofrer&lt;/em&gt; na cidade. Um fraco que apesar de tudo pretende uma poética do real.

Há alguma urgência ao abrir um dicionário, contemporâneo ou arcaico, no rasto da definição das palavras depositadas quem permanecem aquém das coisas. Os nomes, as coisas: querela antiga entre a revelação primeira do mundo, o Verbo, e a perplexidade com que inventamos a nossa epistemologia particular do mundo. Uma mitologia pessoal, o labor íntimo e inescapável com que tecemos o fio de uma ideia – nem sempre precária, nem sempre resoluta – para o decorrer das horas. Percorremos a História, especializamo-nos na generalidade, restituímo-nos a uma ideia de liberdade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Improvisamos as horas como uma promessa incumprida de um regresso às coisas primeiras. O exercício é simples: a investigação minuciosa das sombras necessárias à luz; perscrutar a matéria encerrada para lá da superfície das coisas.&lt;br /&gt;Incandescente paradoxo, &lt;a href="http://www.citador.pt/poemas.php?op=10&amp;amp;refid=200811100006"&gt;alimentamo-nos da sombra para dizermos a verdade&lt;/a&gt;. Uma verdade. Uma verdade equívoca ou dolorosa ou feliz ou amorosa. Uma verdade nem real nem a sua representação. Uma verdade, indício recortado e vulnerável.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exercitamos o contacto das coisas com os nomes. Treinamos a ideia da invenção de um novo corpo. Um corpo de 360º: &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBU9Oernv50&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;Material para a espinha&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, contacto com o chão os muros o horizonte. Dança improvisada.

A voz etérea de Justin Vernon, quase um cantochão processado por uma qualquer máquina anacrónica encontrada numa loja de relíquias da indústria: a voz aparecia ubíqua. Os materiais da música eram os de uma casa vazia, de um abrigo no silêncio da floresta coberta de neve.&lt;br /&gt;Mas à reclusão, para lhe dar plenitude, necessita-se de interrompê-la e partilhar o whisky destilado artesanalmente nas traseiras da casa. Mau whisky, que interessa?, se os amigos nos vieram visitar. E se nessa visita se evitassem palavras, se as palavras estivessem a mais, e antes se partilhasse o som, qualquer som que representasse o [um] mundo?, porque os amigos até trouxeram umas outras traquitanas para juntar à guitarra velha e ao ruído rarefeito da silenciosa reclusão?&lt;br /&gt;Apareceram os &lt;a href="http://www.collectionsofcoloniesofbees.net/"&gt;Collections of Colonies of Bees&lt;/a&gt; e começou a pequena festa de encontro. A voz é ainda a etérea de Bon Iver, não ubíqua, um pouco mais desacompanhada, talvez porque aqui, ao contrário de em &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;For Emma, Forever Ago&lt;/span&gt;, as palavras pouco interessem e sejam um outro ruído, pronunciado, para juntar ao mundo que se despenha lentamente lá fora.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Unmap&lt;/span&gt;, sem possibilidades de cartografia na pop excessivamente expressiva e insuficientemente impressiva que consumimos.&lt;br /&gt;Mais uma rodada de mau whisky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Unmap&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;a href="http://volcanochoir.com/"&gt;Volcano Choir&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.jagjaguwar.com"&gt;Jagjaguwar&lt;/a&gt;, 2009]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=F68ED5AE75648B13&amp;amp;search_query=volcano+choir"&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/volcanochoir"&gt;MySpace&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2997127648599725383-5142451633074886174?l=a-imitation-of-life.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a-imitation-of-life.blogspot.com/feeds/5142451633074886174/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2997127648599725383&amp;postID=5142451633074886174&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2997127648599725383/posts/default/5142451633074886174'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2997127648599725383/posts/default/5142451633074886174'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a-imitation-of-life.blogspot.com/2009/11/island-is.html' title='island, is'/><author><name>joão miguel amaro correia</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh4.googleusercontent.com/-2E_5G-9v1jM/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAB7Q/38E3iOD6IZ8/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2997127648599725383.post-5555185777068730758</id><published>2009-11-03T05:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-03T05:54:46.636-08:00</updated><title type='text'>a few new ventilation gaps here, sir. a bit draughty, but otherwise all right.</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="" align="left"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="http://fotos.sapo.pt/9c9ptCflkqZYNGIZEAmY/" border="0" height="275" width="500" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;font-size:78%;" &gt;[&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;font-size:78%;" &gt;The Battle of the River Plate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;font-size:78%;" &gt;, Michael Powell &amp;amp; Emeric Pressburger, 1956]  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não é, com certeza, dos maiores de Powell, mas é exemplar no modo como faz o elogio do capitão Langsdorff, que é o elogio do cumprimento do dever, da determinação em preservar um fio de humanidade numa batalha de uma guerra trágica.&lt;br /&gt;Longe de qualquer idealismo, ainda assim, consola-nos o afastamento ao estereótipo do nazi-bárbaro com que os filmes do pós-guerra nos trouxeram os alemães.

Ou da permanente ansiedade pela novidade. A &lt;em&gt;next big thing&lt;/em&gt; patrocinada pela indústria veloz a erguer e destruir as próximas coisas grandes. Às vezes, um canto da sala, um pedaço do nosso território cartografado pelo correr invisível dos dias, é suficiente.&lt;br /&gt;Ao contrário do seu ex-companheiro Jarvis Cocker, que prossegue o estudo das angústias da classe média inglesa – agora menos sub e mais urbano e talvez mais pós-adolescente; como numa recusa da &lt;em&gt;middle age&lt;/em&gt; – Richard Hawley devolve-nos ao canto (re)conhecido da nossa sala.&lt;br /&gt;Regressou a Sheffield, e é a vida de Sheffield, ou, se quisermos, do &lt;em&gt;countryside&lt;/em&gt;, que canta. Ou antes, a vida que se leva no &lt;em&gt;countryside&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Nocturno, como os anteriores registos, mas mais minimal, mais denso, mais subtil, mais atmosférico, o filho de um metalúrgico que ouvia blues, traz-nos em narrativas interiores, os movimentos subtis das noites de Lua Nova. &lt;em&gt;Remorse Code&lt;/em&gt;, com duração de 10’, é uma prodígio de composição minimal e obsessiva – e não é o minimalismo a obsessão do tema?&lt;br /&gt;A lírica é a do homem comum, do quotidiano, do operário que quase esquece o ramo de flores no comboio em dia de aniversário da sua namorada, do homem, do homem &lt;em&gt;nine to five&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em novos descobrimos o mundo pela tralha plastificada dos anos 80. Kurt Cobain, depois, devolveu-nos a crença numa verdade, qualquer que fosse, desde que uma canção se sustentasse ne ‘genuinidade’. A era dos &lt;em&gt;unplugged’s&lt;/em&gt;, quando descobrimos como o rock’n roll se poderia cruzar com um violoncelo, era a celebração desse movimento que aferia a música na crença de que uma canção seriam os três minutos despidos numa guitarra acústica já muito rasurada.&lt;br /&gt;Passa o tempo e percebe-se que há muitas verdades, que não há ‘políticas da verdade’, talvez mesmo que a verdade seja um perigo. Ou que, pura e simplesmente, as coisas são mais subtis. E que uma canção é também a roupa com que se veste e não apenas o esqueleto dos acordes com que se ergue. E a roupa diz-nos talvez mais que a ‘verdade’ apontada ao ouvido em três minutos fugazes.&lt;br /&gt;Às vezes achamos que a revolução é uma violência escusada. Ou é isto a ‘revolução conservadora’?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Truelove's Gutter&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.richardhawley.co.uk/"&gt;Richard Hawley&lt;/a&gt;, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;para o &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://davidfonseca.blogs.sapo.pt/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:78%;"&gt;David&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;, que nos traz hoje o seu &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.davidfonseca.com/"&gt;Between Waves&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Não são as versões. É a História do séc. XX americano que lá está toda. Porque se acredita que se pode aferir a História pela música que essa História produz e é nessa música em que  Brad Melhdau acredita. Virtuosismo e classicismo agora aparte, celebre-se, o seu ‘pai’ Bill Evans, celebre-se Miles e Charlie Parker, celebre-se os campos de algodão e os seus lamentos em tons de azul, celebre-se aquela música infernal, inclassificável, ambígua, europeia e africa que nasceu na América, o jazz.
