"What does the money machine eat? It eats youth, spontaneity, life, beauty, and, above all, it eats creativity. It eats quality and shits quantity."

Polaroids by Andrei Tarkovsky from the book Instant Light

"Tarkovsky often reflected on the way that time flies and this is precisely what he wanted: to stop it, even with these quick Polaroid shots. The melancholy of seeing things for the last time is the highly mysterious and poetic essence that these images leave with us. It is as though Andrei wanted to transmit his own enjoyment quickly to others. And they feel like a fond farewell."

In February 1974, Patty Hearst, the granddaughter and heiress of American millionaire media tycoon William Randolph Hearst, was kidnapped by the radical left-wing group the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA). The group demanded that the Hearst family provide millions of dollars' worth of food aid to the poor.

Months later, the public was left in shock. Hearst reappeared under the codename "Tania", captured by security cameras carrying a gun during a bank robbery in San Francisco. Her transformation from hostage to armed militant became the subject of debate for years. Two months after her abduction, Patty released an audio recording announcing that she had joined the SLA of her own free will and had changed her name to "Tania."

She was captured by the FBI after a 19-month manhunt. When she was imprisoned, she still described herself as a revolutionary. In 1976, she was convicted of bank robbery and sentenced to seven years in prison. Her sentence was commuted by President Jimmy Carter in 1979, and she was released.

Clara Mattei brilliantly debunks a century of capitalist propaganda by explaining how capitalism is unnatural, has existed for only 0.1% of human history, took control of the world through violence, and is maintained by coercion and the superficial facade of liberal democracy.

1 in 20 Catholic families were burned out of their homes in Belfast in 1969.

As one scholar put it, at the time it was "the largest forced population movement in Western Europe since the Second World War."

Tarkovsky shaping Stalker in the silence behind the camera, time breathes, memory lingers, and the image slowly becomes fate.

"Yo bajo al infierno y sé cosas que no molestan la paz de los otros. Pero prestad atención: el infierno está subiendo también entre vosotros" (Pier Paolo Pasolini)

[Borges, Jorge Luis @BorgesJorgeL]

El Libro (I)

De los diversos instrumentos del hombre, el más asombroso es, sin duda, el libro. Los demás son extensiones de su cuerpo. El microscopio, el telescopio, son extensiones de su vista; el teléfono es extensión de la voz; luego tenemos el arado y la espada, extensiones de su brazo. Pero el libro es otra cosa: el libro es una extensión de la memoria y de la imaginación.

En César y Cleopatra de Shaw, cuando se habla de la biblioteca de Alejandría se dice que es la memoria de la humanidad. Eso es el libro y es algo más también, la imaginación. Porque, ¿qué es nuestro pasado sino una serie de sueños? ¿Qué diferencia puede haber entre recordar sueños y recordar el pasado? Esa es la función que realiza el libro.

24 de mayo de 1978.
Borges oral, 1980

Terminei de ler esse livro aqui, que é uma reconstituição da história soviética por meio da análise dos seus objetos, imagens e símbolos - como o próprio subtítulo diz: "uma arqueologia de um mundo perdido". A impressão que eu tenho é que a URSS foi o último suspiro...
