Two Finger Zoom With Linux

Another book meme meme

Another book meme [info] _grayswandir_ . I took the liberty of removing some questions just because it matched with the reality of an American reader of certain nationalities or foreign.

Paperback, hardback or paperback Trade?

I have no preference, provided that combines a good preçoa an excellent translation (Abril Cultural recently released in editions of classic cover Hard coated fabric, with translations renowned, popular prices, and L & PM publishes paperback books with translations of quality). Although I prefer to buy certain issues when publishers specialize in certain writers among my favorites, see the Illumination, which relaunches classic Sade in new translations and sharper, and 34, responsible for translations of the tongue tip and directly mã and the classics of Russian literature, including Dostoevsky.

Bookmark or dog-ear?

Brand-page, for sure. Deusmelivreguarde folding / ears in my books.

Favourite place to read?

My house in the morning, when calmer (or less busy), preferably in the living room or kitchen. Libraries are also great for reading, of course.

Alphabetize by author or alphabetize by title or random?

All my books are cataloged according to the record of the Brazilian Book Chamber, then it will be easier to organize them alphabetically one day when you wish. Prefer alphabetically by author, because usually look for books in libraries with the name of the writer in mind, and after finding him is that I go to the title the work.

Keep, throw away, or sell?

if I bought a new and better edition of a book, or did not like him, I'd rather donate questãoa volume in a library, or offer it to a friend interested . I never sell or lend a book to me both are sacrilege.

Keep dust jacket or toss it?

When I remove the dust from my books, clean them often. I would encap them to better protect them from dust and other debris and moisture, thus preserving them better, the problem is the job I have.

with dust jacket Read or remove it?

not apply to my books, as is attested in the previous topic.

Short story or novel?

Novels, read them more often than any other works of literary genres. One advantage of a novel about the tale, the novel or the play is that through it spent much time with the weft delighting and interacting with the characters.

Harry Potter or Lemony Snicket?

Harry Potter , I'ma fan of the series. Stop reading

When tired or at chapter breaks?

Prefer stop reading when the chapter ends, because it usually saves you stop abruptly, a potentially crucial moment in the narrative that compels you to return to reread paragraphs when reading to better understand it, offering a sense of continuity more stable (because the author well structured and divided its work, and nobody better than him to do it with efficiency narrative). The chapter, in most cases, it's like an episode, with the outcome at the "right". However, if you're too tired to sleep or dying, or if the next few paragraphs are promising (and perhaps have the bad habit of moving lines and give some quick fleeing to other chapters in order to get an idea of what is to come * eager *) and want to defer impact for the effect of this on me is bigger, so do not wait for the end of the chapter, close the book right there where I am.

"It was a dark and stormy night" or "Once upon a time"?

"It was a dark and stormy night" indeed. Unless the "once upon a time" is a fairy tale of dark, ironic and / or subversive (but I like the traditional fairy tales).

Buy or borrow?

If I'm able, buy without hesitation. I already have over 160 books. But libraries are invaluable, especially if you're in the grip or is there only one title available pretty rare that you're dying to read.

New or used?

brand new. Bourgeois middle, I know, but I love knowing that I am the first to read this handsome volume donuts factory. And the smell of new book, then? But also like the smell of some old books, and especially the texture of the letters, some written in relief as strong (not know if I went out so the graphics, or is effect of time) from old volumes, like the editions of José Olympio.

Buying choice: book reviews, recommendations, or browse?

Generally, what moves me to buy books is the interest or preference already formed by some writers (already in love with Dostoevsky, for example, and I decided to buy the 34 issues of his works when he was working). When the author do not know enough, I am inclined to buy recommendations by direct or indirect friends with similar tastes and inclinations to my criticisms, and reviews from reputable (Net helps a lot in both cases).

Tidy ending or cliffhanger?

Finals open until they are worth, since due to dialogical pretensions of the author and not the strategic intention of wanting to publish other works more for the same sé Series, when he gave what he had to give and estimate on the number of volumes has been completed, at the risk of wear and become comercialoide. What for further squeeze the pulp of the orange when there is the possibility of juice out bitter or rotten? So rather unique works or series summarily closed.

Morning reading, afternoon reading, or nighttime reading?

the morning, as I have already explained why in the item 3. But I also like to read at night in the kitchen, where everyone is holed up in the living room watching TV.

Stand-alone or series?

Better single volumes, so why not create a violent anxiety for the next installment in a series, the continuation of a saga, just for wanting to learn about the fate of the characters (hoping that their favorite did not take certain courses, or be "punished" by such-author). And because most of my favorite writers and authors are not the classic series.

Favorite series?

Harry Potter , The adventures of Hercule Poirot (the chief detective of Agatha Christie), site of the Yellow Woodpecker, both Alice Lewis Carroll, Lemony Snicket (although it was not read until the seventh volume, sound ; the thirteen in all). Do not add LOTR only because I read the first book. I already bought the first three series How to Train Your Dragon and I intend to read them soon, and look forward to Iluminuras publish translations of other works of saga of the sisters Justine and Juliette, the Marquis de Sade (apart from The Misfortunes of Virtue , I already have, the inaugural work of the series).

Favorite children's book?

Not counting the children and youth, just as the child is well designed for that age group is generally more focused? Site Works of Yellow Woodpecker, Pedro Bandeira (especially Tea and disappearance Smuggling Cat at least loved as a child), The Little Prince .

Favorite YA book?

that? Children's books or children and young people? Harry Potter, Lemony Snicket , some novels of Joao Gilberto Noll on discoveries of adolescence, etc..

Favorite book of Which nobody else has heard?

I loved a book, The Honeymoon , a Norwegian writer, Knut Faldbakken that almost nobody else knows, so I am informed, is actually a very dark and author, to my knowledge, no other book of yours beyond this was translated into Portuguese in Brazil.

23. Who is the most over rated writer alive today?

Não conheço assaz literatura contemporânea a ponto de poder indicar um escritor a meu ver subestimado (embora JK Rowling is snubbed by most of the critical intellectualism and academic), despite its great literary merits, but would suggest the Brazilian Joao Gilberto Noll as a writer who deserves more attention by the critics.

24. What are you reading right now?

Today I started editing a Bobok of Dostoevsky, of 34, which encompasses both the short story (I've read in another editing / translation) and an extensive and excellent critical analysis of Paul Bezerra.

The Hound of the Baskervilles , de Conan Doyle, também é show de bola pela estruturação narrativa e pela atmosfera, apesar de não achar o mistério tão intrigante (desvendei-o logo); Um Estudo em Vermelho é que intriga de fato, narra uma perturbadora história de vingança e através dela manipula os sentimentos de indignação e o senso de justiça do leitor (no lugar do personagem, você faria o mesmo?).

P. S.: Caso tenham dúvidas para traduzir as perguntas, ainda that attempt to deduce them from the answers, do not be shy that will clarify all.

When Will Tahoe Body Style Change

[EDIT:] Dostoevsky: the revolutionary reaction, the conservative humanist, psychologist who judge more

In one of our conversations, I and a friend culminating in the theme "Dostoevsky." He did not even read a book dost, but saw the film adaptation of The Demons directed by a filmmaker whose name and nationality not recorded (but flashes of memory I do believe that this is a director of Eastern Europe, which is plausible, given the geographical and cultural proximity between such regiãoea Russia), and one of their conclusions is that the character Shatov story's hero, is about the writer's literary alter ego, religious, reactionary, Slavophil ocidentalofóbico and just like Dostoevsky. He spoke with such arrogance, with that look of "I killed the riddle," that means dismissing or condemning the writer because of his conservative ideological position and related features, which only left me blame him. It is not the first time he shows his implies or rancid with Dostoevsky - even in one of his tales is my favorite writer satirized indirectly - due to the ideological prejudices of fools.

First, to criticize anything with the property before it is necessary to identify it with reasonable depth (no wonder therefore that his criticism flawed argumentative relatively superficial), second, execrate a writer for discrepancies philosophical, moral, ideological, finally, by having a world view different from ours, the behavior does not seem wise and worthy of an intellectual (in the sense here of that word), who would not fit reject great literature, especially when it comes to an author of the caliber of Dostoevsky, "ideologically reactionary and regressive ¹ philosophically," according to critic and journalist Manuel Pinto da Costa (and, despite these issues, possessing an accurate view, dialectical world, capable of dealing fully with the other currents of thought in vogue in the nineteenth century and even rebuild them in their literary discourse in a sublime way), but aesthetically revolutionary and pioneer in refining psychological magician he devoted to his characters. And such was his keenness of mind, intuiçãoe intelligence, in his speech that even anti-leftists find criticism highly valuable to the present day, including the prophetic "predict" the totalitarian communist regimes that is established in the XXI century (I was catatonic when I read such descriptions of totalitarianism in Demons , at a time when organizations and preludes to revolution s communists were still in their infancy, sensitivity amazing how an artist can catapult themselves beyond their time)

One of the flaws I see in the analogy drawn between the personality of Dostoevsky and his literary creation, Shatov, is the determination of Slavophilism. Dost was never a Slavophil itself, and in works such as his record of travel to Europe Winter Notes on Summer Impressions , certain conceptions Slavophil both the Russian people as West's misguided in his view are refuted, but it is undeniable nationalistic confess your profile (like other Russian writers, only major brand) and excessive: revered traditional Russia, the Russian people and many of its customs and practices (in contrast, was a humanist and pacifist to classic patterns, which rejected the enslavement of serfs, existing in the country until [], and violence against women), defended the czarist and segregated by a messianic vision about Russia, seeing it as the ultimate safeguard of the universal Christian religion in its essence. Shatov is also an unstable, hysterical type that does not fit well with the personality of Dostoevsky, a neurotic in their own way which platonic passion for a lady matron, disillusionment with socialism (here a resemblance to his creator) and a certain naivety and lack of experience (including sexual, as deduce the lines), regardless of age, explain much of its unique psychological profile, and therefore contradictory attitudes that takes over the narrative. It is more like anti-hero hero. And this is not such a director plunged deep into the psychology of its transposition into Shatov the language of film - or "revolt" with my friend's character was so great that it blinded him as to its other features - I have only to regret that the work comes from Dost into the hands of the filmmakers so awkward.

Yes, one of the greatest writers of world literature was an artist whose commitment to human and psychological clearing their guts was higher than their religious views, philosophical and ideological, indeed less solid and more changeable than the ordinary literary sense designs, because of their anxieties, inner conflicts and doubts - even about the existence of God - which tracks and records found scattered in his journalistic, literary and memoirs; understand more and judge less is a slogan of Dostoevsky's prose, in spite of moralism (doubtful) of the author. It is also noticeable in his work a pessimistic conception of the world socially and spiritually optimistic poles (or projections of the behavior) but capable of opposing human reconciliaçãoe where they intersect the intellect and morality of the individual in constant conflict with himself, the environment and with God, even when the void in his life, as well as all values (nihilism), or when you submit them to a pure rationalization (and here comes the Dost antipositivist) or ideological - attempts to deny or escape the spiritual transcendence (?), for Dostoevsky, is not God who is dead: many of us that suicide is the sublime aspect of existence.

¹ Affirmation moot, anyway Dost is considered the forerunner of existentialism, I would say that the "regressive" applies when more philosophical interpretation and ontological ; Logic tends to approach the metaphysical and divine plan exactly, or the problems relate primarily to the headquarters of the company or lack of spirituality, less straining his vision human and social contradictions themselves in a seemingly contradictory trend in the face of their religion: God does not directly influence an individual's life, released here on Earth and sentenced to the free- agency.

Premature Babies & Broken Capillaries On Cheeks

Daily bibliofágico (Leandro Narloch)

Politically Incorrect Guide to the History of Brazil - Leandro Narloch

I finished reading the Guide earlier this month, but only now post about it. It one of the most controversial books - not to say controversial - recently launched in the Brazilian publishing market, for an emerging publisher who has specialized in bestselling nonfiction the Leya (the same as Dangerous Minds, the popular manual on psychopathy written by psychologist Ana Beatriz Barbosa), which quickly gained notoriety due to the premise suggested by its title and will inform about the of the critics (and not so specialized so) on it for a while surmounting the bestseller lists.

In fact, it is a work packed with information - sidewalks on data, records, academic studies and other journalistic investigations - the politically incorrect about the history of our country, my ass down "without mercy" on many of the myths / historical figures, proposing a new vision or removing the debris from some episodes extraoficiais panoramas significant in Brazilian history - when not trying to resurrect a scenario already considered outdated and identified with the conservative viewpoint, unilateral and domineering of the story thus denied by a portion grained modern historians - that certainly will not find in textbooks, efforts that deal mainly with nationalistic and ideological imbalances. Indeed the Narloch Leandro, author of the book, defines his work, not without a tinge of sarcasm, as "a small collection of serious historical research, irritating and unpleasant, chosen in order to infuriate a good number of citizens," ie, his intention is ; undoubtedly provoke.

And he does. Presenting the book to a friend of mine, an atheist communist purple, I gathered a good deal, though contained, indignaçãoe disdain by most of the fruits of information "serious historical research" engendered by the author many denouncing his rightist ideological vision. And do not deny: soon to learn, through the description in the ear of the cover of the book, the journalist Leandro Narloch has been Reporter See ¹ (plus editor other reviews in April, Adventures in History and Superinteressante ), my suspicions that there was an intention irrefutably anti-leftist, anti-nationalist than most, behind many of the hypotheses made statements , s exposed, interpretations advocated and prioritized studies awaiting my exploration of the work, only grown up reading the work of alleged research the historical revisionism of the Narloch confirmed. Revisionism with reservations, since now explaining about one aspect of Guide stressed above that there is also the intent of rescuing views on events and figures of the well appointed home in vogue prior studies and investigations post-dictatorship, driven by the belief that these journalist the lightly rejected in favor of activism and academic-ideological, anti-basing his pretentious "treaty" with studies performed by various historians today, based on records, documents (including letters from members of the pro Pippen Narloch attacked by organizations, see the above Elza on the case, the girl killed by guerrillas armed struggle, at the behest of Prestes, in the chapter on the communists) and data "forgotten" or (re) recently discovered.

I am not a leftist radical, however; I am fully aware that the revision applied to academic historiography, biography of the great names and route groups and subjugated peoples, marginalized, and whose contribution to socio-economic, cultural and history is overlooked or ignored on the one hand, and the DescriptionThe cause analysis of major historical events, on the other, various factors and data have been lost in the midst of such restructuring , or will have been stifled in favor of a militant tuned to review ideological and nationalist leftist force in the intellectual and academic since the overthrow of military dictatorship, did not fail, therefore, inversion of values coupled with a simplistic and / or Manichean smo: bad right and left good, all the settlers that Indians as evil exploiters symbols of purity and ecological communion with nature, and merely black slaves at the mercy of whip of the master, when not presented as a rebel optical decontextualized opportunistic and ideologically, as if they were the forerunners of the Communist revolutions of the twentieth century or atavistic in relation to archaic social structures tribal collectives, with regard to their ideals and training will quilombos. Interpretations of history that recover the value, importance, and smothered truths about ethnic groups and / or socially disadvantaged, but alleges that uprooted a genuinely dialectical view of history, due blind as to the complex web of relationships established between the various groups and classes of each season, between masters and servants to take time and another exchange or securities that are not conventional assigned to them by history: eg cases of Negroes (the guide gives special attention to black women, Xica da Silva was not the only) freed they became rich, influential and had, including slaves, social and economic ascension tied to a cruel irony easily understandable the light of the dialectics of power, moral and psychological compensation that we feel in inflicting suffering to another, even our pair when instrumented with the power that had not tí hemp and victims of which were now eager to enjoy it ². Until Machado de Assis strove for such behavior in Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas , and moral complexity that is inherent, especially where the logic comes into play feelings and interests and, consequently, the moral dilemma in one of his most sublime and disturbing tales, Father Against Mother .

not want to give here a laurel wreath to Narloch Leandro, for amidst all this way of Review demystification of so many things we learned in school or with which we face at the university, including the right kind of fervent and militant fanatics, there are also plans shady, opportunistic and ideologically and culturally biased. We can use many of the arguments and some of the historical interpretations in the book against the author himself. Mistrust engendered research by historians and journalists from both left and right, because in both cases to give rise to the ideological use of those unscrupulous, the handling of data, documents and interviews, as well as respect and trust in the work of several that, in my view, are more serious and well intentioned and / or well-founded than those of other historians more concerned with truth and conscious of the dialectic of the historical process rich, that with the militancy. Leandro Narloch when curled up by the more attentive readers and critics, easily falls into the ideological trap that sees itself: the same way that uses a historiographical reasons for attacking the left, making it more explicit in its purpose as the book moves at a fast pace, exciting and provocative, leading strategically in the chapter on the actions of the Brazilian communists in the periods before and during dictatorship, one sees the biases of their arguments, sympathy or apology even some conservative figures of the painting's history as a counterpoint to his obsession with exposing rotten, vilified and ridiculed by all the references and documentation that historically had access to, those sãoo focus of their journalistic streak ferocious and poisonous, that is, those who are generally considered heroes (Zumbi dos Palmares and Solano López, for example) almost unquestionably and darlings of the Left and nationalists patrolmen, or geniuses (Machado of Assisi, the Santos Dumont, here deposed from his title of father of aviation, points transferred, of course, to the Wright brothers). Yes, the very Narloch no secret of its aim of meeting certain targets, seeking to expose "only errors of the victims and heroes of kindness, only the virtues considered villains, but the it directs how such ideologically critical position and sometimes to the verge of slowdown mutilation of the physical cultural, inflicted on victims in order to better direct the prosecutor to look at them with the least possible deviations, is overwhelming. In almost an attempt to blame the victims suffered the reproaches in the chapter devoted communist, he points to the hypothesis that the armed struggle itself was primarily responsible for the hardening of the regime military dictatorship: a afirmaçãoa be considered, including drawing on logical principles, although based more on historical interpretations biased and not as reliable documents and autocomiserados of the military itself, but there is no plausible argument that allegedly would enable such an argument used against those who rightly are among the biggest victims of the dictatorship , most brutally murdered: turn victims into villains by pernicious interpretations of history is nothing but a sly inversion of values, the same which implies Narloch want to fight. There are researchers

bit suspect in which the journalist has its foundations to develop their Guide, see William Waack (but justice is done, this research about the Communists was well stocked with records belonging to the very members of armed conflicts, such Letters to the commander Luiz Carlos Prestes and his entourage), and underline the Narloch know straight from the books and documents to further serve their interests. On the other hand, is great and healthy for critical consciousness and questioning of ideas and values against nationalists who succumb to a more calculated, rather than simply expanding the baggage of historical knowledge, check how some of the "figures of the country" are human beings like any others, so yes incurred in errors, and that even leftist revolutionaries could be so cruel and tyrannical as to overthrow the military dictatorship that dreamed; is noteworthy, also, that much of the supposed revisãoa Guide intends already in ; it is nothing new, such as proof that Indians are not as friends of the forest as you paint (indigenous peoples around the world have, for example, those responsible for the extinction of animal species and the destruction or sterilization of the habitat itself, being forced to migrate to more fertile places), details about the Slavery of Zumbi, as I described in subparagraph ; graph above, that only a few protesters and patrol politically correct movements and organizations nuclei descent turn up their noses, but perfectly consistent and compatible with the historical condition of black African peoples in their homeland (it's undeniable, many studies show that the historical the existence of slavery and African empires developed that even remotely resembled the coexistence collectivist image that is imposed by scholars who make the configuration of various ancient peoples, especially the tribals, although such empires were noo, etc.).

In short, the Politically Incorrect Guide the History of Brazil is to be read with a critical conscience always on alert and undressing of ideological bias, including the time to confront the prejudices the same order as the author himself, not so ironically, distills the wire by this pretentious collection of historical accounts put in reverse, as intriguing as, for good and for the poorly virulent.

¹ Simply the Brazilian weekly tabloid that more wars against left, drool over the egg business, a stronghold of the post-fascist whose model is the most obnoxious and narcissistic pseudointelectualoide antilulista repressed Diogo Mainardi, is non vero?

² It is worth noting also that many of the blacks brought to Brazil living in communities in Africa where slavery was normal practice, social and economic mainstay, until some noble holders of slaves, so common that would fit in this group that felt entitled to his slaves if they could get funding for this, after freed. There is also the logic of compulsory acculturation.

How Long Does A Hematoma Take To Go Away

Outburst: self-analysis

Originally, you would post this text on Tumblr. But he was taking shape in such a way that I found most appropriate fit it here. Then maybe I'll make some corrections on it and you apply some addenda.

was reviewing an old comment on my blog and related books (ok, not that old), and came across a George Leberg which currently is another stylistic (not my style changed radically, of course, always been verbose and convoluted way, but if that coment was written today, there certainly would not be exactly the same words and expressions), while criticizing prohibitively something that neither gives much more ball (ie by change, even light, motion, there was one), by contrast, understands and tolerates up to the extent possible. Such comparisons also occur when, every now and then, revisit the excessive refinements and / or forced (sometimes well prepared to impress, I confess) and enrolations several of my old reviews; Current production appreciates my writing much more cautious and balanced by stoning by the polishing combined with pragmatism and endowed with a keener sense of sonority of words, the "functionality" and impact of the text rather than a boring and devoid of aestheticism real aesthetic sense, although I still fancy (thank goodness) and verbose. I still type writer anxious and insecure, afraid that his theoretical text, or article, review or critical commentary, does not contain everything you want to say about a particular subject at that particular moment, but at less already know how to do better than before.

have applauded, too often, works of art that today I did not cause the same impact, nor did they would raise me yet favorable reviews. Yes, there are some books and films (except those who, despite their dubious quality aesthetic and intellectually important to me are the deep affective value of which I am loyal trustee) who loved the past, child or adolescent, but for which today would make very little or nothing. The same applies to people who have been very dear to me, yet let me down so much that he gave up to forgiveness, friendship or whatever kind of relationship, it ended right there (what else hurts Do ; it is what you do properly, but when it comes to a person he trusted most, and here come into play fair on the other, the degree of trust you place in people, which gradually shrinks until you become a paranoid pessimist, and mainly your pride wounded because of the surprise caused by the fact just be someone you trust so far undisputed), the attitudes and positions in which both my often as others who have incurred defended tooth and nail, thinking himself the spokesman of truth or common sense, on which currently just got put away because of prejudice or laugh at the ridiculous size and immaturity. Autorreflexões and self-reproaches me that only now are possible due to a psychological maturity and intellectual and cultural (interconnected and interdependent) that I was gaining increasing over time and gave me the successive (re) taken conscia ; NCIA open mind.

Yeah, great to know that the experiments in which step literary works more or less provocative and subversive mark me and urge me to a vision more or less critical and upset the world (even extending to other artistic works, I situate the literature in the foreground because it is my passion, art and more significant part of my life) academic successes and failures, the surprising discoveries that are pleasing or not lay bare to my eyes quite often (my intuition only improved from there to here) and the contradiction , s of which I become aware and understand better as time goes on (and requires me changes in consciousness), combined, offer me indeed several readings of the world and possibilities of exercising and experiences that I experienced throughout life, hence my writing matured. Simply put, I'm not as stubborn as I know myself or how others think, everything that step really turns me and mold me, let me in his "indelible mark [but bypass ; level or assimilated], of course gradually, though I have suffered some growing pains and so striking (few so far, thankfully, and I've gotten used to certain conflicts and family problems before they took me more hours of sleep) I did change radically, tore me to consciousness, drawing me now a common term in Dostoevsky.

A great example is the teenager and Leberg Leberg today. Compare. Younger, in high school, I was practically a Protestant fundamentalist, Bible defending any attack or criticism, or even revision, of the more rational and well argued that they were (like I had great notions ; es that this then, blinded by faith immune to questioning); full of prejudice and only watched the Hollywood Commercial Cinema copy - in fact, found the infamous Brazilian cinema a stronghold of movies where you only see and hear, Most often, bitching and cussing, respectively; hated rock, among others "never drink this water." The modern Leberg is agnostic; gets to be boring so critical; also enjoys alternative cinema and through referrals from friends and new cultural opportunities in the city where he lives walks increasingly meet the European and Brazilian cinema; no moralist, and loves strands of rock, especially if it is eighties. One of the few aspects that have persisted in my ego was sarcasm, which only gradually tried to sharpen and become more ruthless, hehe. At least back then I loved literature and was a fan of Harry Potter, contradictions, experiences and literary works were the matrix in certain cases, the driving force in others, many of the questions that began to haunt me until then immature and inept little head, and now here I am, here I am .

Online Pokemon Storage

bibliofágico (Marquis de Sade): continued

Unable to amend the meeting of critical comments about the work of the Marquis de Sade in the previous post, overcome by the dimension the text is allowed, so the way was open another post.

Comments

my critics and counter Borges, the great expert on Sade, Sade about the works discussed above, or literature in general scope Sade:

1. Earlier, a warning: if you do not feel psychologically prepared for violence and cruelty in this exaggerated acts of debauchery almost always "accompanied of some crime or some colorful infamy" of The 120 Days of Sodom , I recommend you Philosophy at Alcova , content and more light and funny (even where Sade manages to entertain, of course, since sex in his work is far from being cheap pornography for entertainment of grown men, although it can also serve as such), and educational - a great sex manual moral transgressions and even to our day - and strongly philosophical and political refined extract of the whole ideology Sade. Now, if morally or are willing to read a work of such audacity, by the passages of explicit sex and / or by certain precepts anything virtuous, even anti-Christian, instilled the reader, then patience. And mockery is one of the names - perhaps a more original meaning of the redemption of the word, owing to its etymology, or entãoo term had this meaning in France at the time - used by Sade to designate the acts libertines.

"(...) except for the scene of torture suffered by vexaçãoe MADAME DE MISTIVAL lady, mother of Eugénie, the acts of terror and violence are only alluded in Philosophy in the Bedroom , where the sentence the author describes the practices erotic mixed with the duties of a beginner, since the work is intended, in his words, the education of a young, but the bottom ends extending to every French citizen, putting the bases of the young republic under the rule of intransigent flesh. In this work, various kinds of speech (moral, political, aesthetic) are subordinated to the erotic language, which, in turn, is using the revolutionary language to combat customs and Religio o. "The Revolution Libertina the Word, Counter Borges, essay-afterword of Philosophy at Alcova , Illumination, pg. 206

A friend of mine, anarchist and student of pedagogy, where events and movements engaged in educational, cultural (one of the vocalists and instrumentalists in a band, Ramam) and social, as I said (here I take freedom of promulgating his speech through my words) in order to change society radically, we must first, as springboard for individual and social transformation, radically changing education, put their political and pedagogical principles, methodologies and evaluation methods in reverse, deconstruct it, to propose new models, in short, dis-educate . Interesting that Sade ever propose a radical miseducation, as against the prevailing discourse of the time, hurting the customs, values and righteous religion, in short all the moral force, just in sé eighteenth century, suggesting a new morality where all this is resolved when all the rights and duties of citizens of his utopia to be subordinated to carnal desires and interests (as the laws intended to protect the general interests run counter to individuals, barring the possibility of complete satisfaction and happiness of the individual). Some of the principles of their ideology / philosophy remains provocative and / or shocking today, and here I seize upon a cliché to describe it: a man ahead of his time and, unless certain misunderstandings in his conception of nature and consequently in terms of human biological - influenced by by mistakes already in vogue, just like that man is active in reproduction, being the "sperm" women's only involvement in the development environment for fetus - perhaps even ahead of ours.

So ahead of its time, for example, in the opposite of the Enlightenment (as the theoretical Eliane Robert Moraes, Sade is already in the counterflow of republican ideals, is the revolution ; will Revolution) and preceding discussion of contemporary militant atheists against religion, Sade in his atheism and radical libertine plead her total annihilation, addressing more specifically the Christian, opposed to the ideal of religious freedom and tolerance Enlightenment.

2. Formally, The 120 Days of Sodom is a novel that is structured like a documentary report or a diary of events and stories that occurred during the four months in the castle of Silling, preceded by an introduction that presents the characters involved in the plot. The narrator gives the impression of being someone who, somehow, excluding the possibility of being present in the castle during the season so bizarre, I knew the whole story, and while not delete almost any detail, sometimes it shows compassion for the sufferings of tortured, and in other states that would exempt the reader reports as brutal and vicious, but not for its commitment narrative, within the discourse Sade, this is an irony, and accompanied virtuous of the few voices (usually of some of the sex slaves, firm in their morals and religious) to which the narrator opens the space, what we would call, the second counter Borges, a thin "parodic stylization" - use stylistic and narrative prevalent in Justine or the misfortunes of virtue - present in some works of the author. Already in Philosophy at The Alcove there is no mediation of the narrator, because it is a part theatrical - at least so it is structured, but Claude Lefort considers, rather, "a novel presented as a spectacle" - and almost all the characters are libertines, so this little feature is present, except for a few echoes of the virtuous and idealistic thought sentimental words of Eugenie at the beginning of your statement, since you have left still remnants of decency and moral prejudices, the mother of the religious lady MADAME DE MISTIVAL of which appears on the last piece of dialogue in order to censor his daughter and take her I can, and Knight Mirvel.

3. [Sade] Combat strongly sentimental idealism manifest in many of the novels of the century. To this end, uses a powerful resource: the parody. This procedure is part of the text of Sade, a procedure that the Russian linguist Bakhtin termed dialogism, dialogue of voices drawn from different contexts and discourses in planes that intersect in the narrative. In the case of Sade, "the speech of others," ie, the object language parody, is the traditional speech of the heroines of sentimental novels of ideology, represented in the language of victims Sade. (...)

Paraphrasing the sentimental discourse, especially the voices of their virtuous heroines whose role model is the Julie of Rousseau, Sade waging a real war against the current textual triumphant feeling and sensitivity. Philosophy in the Bedroom also participates in this strategy. There are echoes of the rhetoric in the speeches sentimental lady MADAME DE MISTIVAL, Eugenie and the rider himself, in which no rarely echo the words of Rousseau. " The Revolution of the Word Libertina , Accountant Borges, essay-afterword of Philosophy at Alcova , Illumination, pp. 210-211

"In the literary world Sade (...), the relationship between sentient beings and virtuous is subordinate to another, and most powerful determinant: the libertines with their victims. In it, the virtuous victims and their sensitivity or (his sentimental idealism) sãoa aggrieved party in what Maurice Blanchot has called the 'system Sade'. On one hand, the suffering of the victims makes the pleasure of the Libertines, and second, the values of sentimental idealism are attacked, ridiculed and destroyed by the word of these sinners. In general, the following occurs in the novels of Sade: tell if two parallel stories (and complementary) that intersect and intertwine: the misfortunes of virtue and prosperity of addiction. The best example of this is accomplished the monumental New Justine, then the story of Juliette, her sister. This strategy also repeated in his other works, where this form of opposition remains, although less pronounced, determining the relationships between the characters (and their history) in favor of the Libertines. A fundamental consequence is that the speech of the virtuous assumes an increasingly smaller role, especially in the most radical works as The 120 days of Sodom and two above, sounding increasingly parodic a text in which the libertine discourse assumes command of enunciaçãoe establishes himself as radiant center of truth [in Justine or the misfortunes of Virtue , the parodic discourse is more balanced, as the narrator is the protagonist who own title to the work, a representative of Sade's heroines sentimental idealism, faith and virtue, often humiliated and brutalized by greedy criminals and libertine, even from the institution where their deposits more trusts, the Church].

in (...) The new Justine , the model of virtuous heroine is violently deconstructed by stylization parody. " Idem, pp. 212-213

4. The 120 Days of Sodom was first published at the beginning of last century. To be hastily withdrawn from the Bastille, on the eve of the French Revolution, the Marquis de Sade lost the roll on which the written work, and perhaps never be consoled by such a disappearance - ale m injury intellectual, artistic and emotional - that, as he says, led him to shed "tears of blood", trying to compensate him for all his later writings. One can perceive the quality of the work of the manuscript which has not undergone a final revision, due to contradictions and errors, including explicit, some of them punctuated by Sade himself in his notes, also typical of evidence will still be subject to revision. We may mention several: Duclos is sensitive to her death - she tells the tale of his life directly related to their sexual and criminal - that feeling after being appointed by the author himself, in one of the notes, before the contradictory character of the character; contradicting the same character in his speech about the inclinations of nature and the human condition, in particular passage defending equality between men and later the gap between them all, including the maintenance poverty, strategic members of society who are on top of social pyramid, whereas in nature the disorder, inequality and survival of the fittest prevails: but we can not interpret this speech as a contradiction, but as an appeal to the pursuit of equality or of Ascension ; social or miserable for the poor through all means available, including stealing and committing other crimes, even while allowing more favored if they want to keep their financial condition or simply to enjoy with the suffering of the needy - in this manifest in The Philosophy in Alcova through noises which their political utopian than it would be a perfect Republic, Sade advocates equality, in fact one of three values of the French Revolution, by virtue of all being the same spe cie and common citizens, condemning, for example, the property right of a man on the other, but the legitimate right of one over the other if so to order our pursuit of pleasure, the foundation first and last of all his philosophy; also contradictions in the discourse of the narrator. There's even a note that draws attention especially for giving us an interesting detail about his writing process: it, Sade underscores the need for a notebook of notes always in hand with certain types of events linking the characters notes, in order to avoid confused by the profusion of characters who conceived.

Another feature that denotes the quality of the novel as a direct proof is coming from the structure of the chapters where the stories unfold and events of the last three months, other than details and history of developing conventional as a novel, a narrative "race" - whitespace time properly demarcated and developed, despite the redundancy by setting only the castle, and the discipline imposed on all day, although in the rare broken dialogue between characters, etc.. - Aspects of the first chapter, there are those just the description of four or five passions shared daily by its narrator, duly listed in the sequential order in which they are counted, and a few days accompanied by the remarkable event occurred, like a deflowering of an orgy natural and / or violent or a sacrifice, the outcome of the plot, to calculations of counting and verification will be armed, as if solving a math problem - the arithmetic is fundamental to Sade, from the count of body measurements in order to highlight skills, sometimes hyperbolic ; sertion of characters such as length and thickness of members, attesting to the number of excesses in an orgy. Are species of schemes or plans already outlined by the author, who then, perhaps, would extend them in novel form itself.

5. "a palpable devotion to the gods of paganism Sade and the mythological figures in general, as the abundance of these references in his voluminous work. If Marquis is considered by some authors (as Béatrice Didier) a novelist baroque, its ideal classical aesthetic is inspired by the Greco-Roman culture. Thus, figures such as Hercules, Adonis, Zephyr, Venus, Hebe, and so many others, are his main references when it wants to describe the beauty of their characters. Interestingly, the big rakes are often compared to gods ugly, like Hephaistos, or mythological creatures like satyrs misshapen or hybrid [ledge that beings such as satyrs and fauns, in Greco-Roman mythology, were often associated with drunkenness and lust, orgies participants promoted by Bacchus, the god of wine, and servants of this]. An account The respect that the reader will find in the text (...) "Frenchmen, one more effort if you want to be Republicans," where Sade asserts that if the Republic need gods, must adopt those of paganism. "Note Philosophy at Alcova , Accountant Borges, Illumination, pp. 203-204

6. Marquis de Sade, Freud and Nietzsche: what they have in common? (Soon to be a brief dissertaçãoa respect in my Tumblr, I'll post the link in next post)

7. More reflections on the principles of utopia Sade, including the despotism of enjoyment.

8. "For Sade, the final consecration of a revolutionary state is not possible without the company undergoes a radical transformation in which the libertine customs is the main engine. The moral here makes sense only if human actions to guide a happiness that only translates into the practice of various forms of pleasure and cruelty, and fulfillment of all fantasies of the individual. Philosophy in the Bedroom , his utopia is a detailed description of this possibility, and its space is the demonstration boudoir. "Located between the hall where reigns the conversation, and fourth, where there is love, the boudoir symbolizes the place of union of philosophy and eroticism. " In Sade, happiness libertine, Eliane Robert Moraes shows that the boudoir libertine is a small place, private and intimate, but the dimensions of which seem to extend indefinitely. The function of the mirrors in the boudoir, intended it. Mirrors multiply the effect of the libertine scenes to reach all who are present, and even those who do not participate in acts. The boudoir, as Elias says, is an area of concentration lust, synthesis of debauchery. " It can thus be seen as a maquette utopia Sade transformation of the bourgeois world. It is here that education must begin to be tackled religion, family ruined. The orgy libertine has this paradoxical effect: to destroy the moral bonds by the union of fuzzy bodies [a case of incest, no?].

Ideas For Homemade Spirit Signs

Daily bibliofágico (Marquis de Sade)

As promised millions of years ago, I will continue with my explanations about the Marquis de Sade, more specifically on the works The 120 Days of Sodom whose reading concluded last year, and Philosophy at Alcova , I'm currently reading. Outline the plots of each (complete with a brief outline of The 120 Days of Sodom because the story structure and classification the characters so require a better approach to the work), will develop both critical comments about one another as in nature over which I have not discoursed on Tumblr or my daily bibliofágico previous , including mapping coordinates between - as they are by the same author and present many similarities between them, bearing in mind the obsession of the same themes and Sade Language This practice in almost all his literary and philosophical writings.




The 120 Days of Sodom

classes of characters:

four libertines (Duke of Blangis, Bishop, President of Curval, Durcet) - all those who command, those who promoted the season at Castle Silling, where everyone will live confined for four months, from November to March 1, without any contact with the outside world, BBB a kind of wanton and bloody in that there is "peephole". There will be four months of debauchery, orgies and all sorts of horrors, sex, blood, sex slaves subjected to a rigorous discipline and subject to punishment if broken, the passions are taken / satisfied according to a hierarchy of classes of the narratives, although this is broken again and again, each month equivalent to a class of passions.

four wives (Constance, Adelaide, Julie, Aline) - the four women of the Libertines (extend the meaning of that expression, because in fact the four are common property of 4, all objects, like Sade indiscriminately called for individuals to enjoy the sexually immoral are divided between them), 3 each married to one, and a daughter of the Bishop with one of the wives brother, the Duke (widow, killed all the women who had), all four having kinship ties with at least one of the Libertines (must also say here that incest happen there?). The marriages were sealed in order to strengthen relations between the four friends, and fun. The wives are mere sex slaves, no privileges.

four narrators (Duclos, Champville, Martaine, Desgranges) - enjoy privileges among the four libertines. Are responsible for the narratives, a class of passions per month (single, double, criminal and murderous), each at the same chronological order in which I presented above, intended to tell all with which have already come across or who knows of the class that was responsible and their respective months. The excesses are generally charged according to this hierarchy, so if contabilizarão dead among the unruliness of the last month. All narrators are masters in what they narrate, they launched into a life of crime prostituiçãoe currently procurers / pimps.

four old maids (Marie Louison, Thérèse, Fanchon) - created and guard harems of boys and girls, enjoy some privileges.

8 girls - totally sex slaves, all kidnapped, between twelve and fifteen. They'll be deflowered in December, and lost their Cabaços sodomites in January.

8 boys - the same situation and age of the girls, while enjoying the highest preference among fornicators, sodomites by their predilections, although this is not exactly an advantage. His Cabaços sodomites will be lost in January, as the girls.

8 Starfuckers - the name says more or less to serve that essentially, no? The main task of these roles is to represent the male macho when they want to afford the wanton whores are sodomized, and other secondary functions. Were chosen from those who possessed the largest and thickest member. The main Starfuckers, privileged for raising the preferences of their patrons, while women are Hercules, Antinous, Jigsaw ass and stick-to-heaven, has four other , junior, do not matter much in the narrative, Sade intended these few lines.

PS Sodomy is anal sex.

Making the beads, I give the floor to Eliane Robert Moraes, along with one of Borges Counter more theoretical, translators and disseminators Sade's work in Brazil:

" hundred and twenty days, six hundred passions. Four months of debauchery, four classes of defects. Every day, five events, totaling one hundred fifty per month. To account for these figures, a group formed by forty-six people, distributed in eight different categories, seven of which belong to the class of subjects. Eight boys, eight girls and eight Starfuckers. Four created [the old maids] and six cooks [these are not among the classes sexual orgies are exempt] . Four wives. Four narrators. Finally, the landlord class, the four libertines who always deserve individual description: Curval, Durcet, Blangis and Bishop. "

Now enumararei major types of dirty, perversions and evils which are recorded each month, a task well discharging the narrators, and thus inflame the desires of the Libertines, many then giving them to practice making use of its objects (as they perceive, I gain access to free me Sade appropriate terminology when suits best to explain his work and save vocabulary, hehe):

First Class, passions simple: simple masturbation, minor cases of pedophilia, pleased with urine and ingestion of the same (do not know a technical term and / or scientific for that), coprophagia / coprophilia, skies and veneration by buttocks without penetration pleasure with grandpa ; myths pleased with farts, other types of dirt and fluids, drinking sperm, sometimes mixed the faeces, oral sex, pleasure with boobs, socratização, cunnilingus, both moral and physical masochism (Sade talks about the need for some masochistic feel a moral emotion, like humilhaç s, to culminate in physical enjoyment), morbid fantasies, some with signs of necrophilia, prostitution, family, moral sadism and some cases of little physical violence.

Second class, dual passions: vaginal penetration, deflorações, pedophilia, rape, sex involving more than two partners (including the scatological, the sadist and the masochist), orgies, incest, safotismo (masturbation among women), sadism (some cases very cruel, involving up to pregnant women), unholy passions (those involving blasphemy, including Unbridled handling of sacred objects to Christianity), sadomasochism.

Third class of criminal passions: sodomy, deflorações of cus, fixation sex in some types of people (and old and black), pansexualism (or is even pansexuality?), more cases of sadism (the most violent and sophisticated, that the passions of the first, appearing here as fractures, mutilation ; es and castrations, among others) and morbid fantasies, cannibalism without death.

fourth class, the murderous passions: Every kind of poisoning, maiming and torture, with cruelty to rise above all the already read so far in the work, always culminating in death of the victims. Also necrophilia, cannibalism, provocation of starvation deaths, fires, landslides, etc..

PS As classes passions then avoid mentioning some of the pre-existing in previous classes, the example of scatological and sexual activity common accompanying torture - such as vaginal, oral and anal sex - or of specific types of individuals required to perform certain fantasies - As beggars, old and pregnant. Sodomy (whether homosexual or heterosexual) and sex with animals were considered crimes in francas other countries in the eighteenth century, so they are covered by the third grade. Passion is the term that Sade often uses to designate indiscriminately and distant from the sense that common sense and / or romantic grants you, the vices and desires of a sexual nature, will research even if, as I sense, such purposes is the fruit of a rescue of the etymological origin of the word, thus connected to its original connotation, probably related, then the physical desires of the body.

" Now, dear reader, prepare your heart And your spirit for reporting dirtier already done since the world exists because there is no similar book or between existing or among the moderns. Imagine that every honest joy or prescribed by this animal that do not stop talking without knowing it and who flames of nature, all these pleasures, I said, are expressly excluded from this collection and when, perhaps, the find, are always accompanied with a crime or colored in some infamy. Undoubtedly, many of the unruliness that you find here portrayed displease thee, though some warm you Aoa-point costing you shit, and it suffices us. " The 120 Days of Sodom , Illumination, trans. Alain François, pg. 62


Philosophy at Alcova

While The 120 Days Sodom is the most radical work of the Marquis de Sade, in which all conceivable excesses, and some surreal - on the edge of delirium manner for the purposes or impossibility - are committed solely for the sake of enjoyment, the most compelling of all the feelings that nature has prescribed, and that in order to respect it and on behalf of our pleasure and happiness, we must achieve at all costs, Philosophy at Alcova , although sharing the same moral and philosophical apology, more a propagandistic and educational work, where alternate theory to the practice of inserting a girl, Eugenie, the principles of the vices of debauchery and crime - as its title suggests as much as his subte ; ter, The Grifters Preceptors, function performed by Madame de Saint-Ange and his brother, the knight of Mirvel, and the sodomite Dolmance par excellence, responsible for such instruction ; the Young - freeing them from the prejudices instilled by education policy, who appreciates the virtues and the shame.

Philosophy at Alcova is a work where the political discourse, ideological and philosophical Sade, engaged in a republican view - however, ahead of their own Repub ; Republic and against the grain of some of its foundations, then the same applies to the Enlightenment, which in turn was a ground-ideals of the republican regime - and it supports all its moral lust , is very well explained and systematized into lessons for the young Eugenie - through a system of her questions and replies to their tutors, and theory allied to sexual practices - and by a manifest of the Republic Sade presented here as a booklet purchased by Dolmance, where it is contained, which at one time the work is read on the pretext of strengthening the instruction of Eugenie: Sade pedagogy, where they are lectured and often materialized in practice all its principles, the only voice to be heard is the nature that inspires us both virtues and vices, both required for its balance, the natural order in disorder, so there is no crime against nature that make the call as such, since all desires and pleasures derived from it; exhortation to the falsity of the supposed duties which kinship ties compel us, extending the same category of criticism with feelings of love, friendship and recognition; atheism and the need to abolish the religion to enslave the intellect of individuals, spread superstitions and condemn certain attitudes, to better submit them to the designs of kings and clergy, who in history have always been tyrants legitimizing each other, we share, the exercise of power (to Sade, to accept the Christian religion, the rights and aristocratic royalist rather than meritorious was incompatible with a republican regime, where the freedom of man you want is full, going against the monarchy and freedom according to ignorance and obscurantism, supporting himself in religion), the liberation of man through corruption in all customs and throwing himself all unruliness, especially sexual ones, the only despotism to be accepted, or better, legalized as a natural right of the republican citizen, is the of pleasure at any cost and at whose expense is, legitimate selfishness that a man should be happy to deliver, despite suppressing the happiness of others and submitting it to satisfy your pain pursuit of pleasure and enjoyment to the senses so ordered.

There is here the picture of the horrors and tortures refined and ultraviolent, one of the greatest aesthetic and philosophical foundations of The 120 Days of Sodom because the intentions prevalent in Philosophy at Alcova are teaching (including readers with slope s voluptuous, as witnessed by explicitly dedication of the book) and political, gender or serving as a crowning achievement of some of the teachings, rites of initiation in the universe Eugenie lustful libertine. There are beatings violent that all the sexually immoral, including the young already a member of the brotherhood - and not as a victim of the enjoyment of others, because their attitudes are criminal and the order of Saint-Ange since the beginning is to transform it into a more complete inquiry, recognizing their inclinations and talents - are subject to on a constant exchange of sexual roles and a frantic search for pleasure through s own pain or another, or merging the two antithetical feelings, those most excite the senses (like an orgy in which Eugenie gets fucked from the front while being flogged until they bled in the buttocks, and another in which Saint-Ange goading his brother, who sodomizes Eugenie, while their own are plagued by bites and tapas by Dolmance). There will be a castigation of the most violent in the outcome of the plot, in which a victim (a religious virtuoso, of course) will be presented to our "heroes" and will be subjected to a "conviction" hardcore. Sade is thus: libertine, cruel, radical preacher from a moral and a philosophy diametrically opposed to Christian and idealistic, respectively (in his words, religion should be subjected to moral and noo not, which is practically impossible, therefore atheism is indispensable weapon against the yoke intellectual, psychological and moral beliefs held by most religious, especially Christian), a combatant of the dominant discourse of virtue and feeling, engulfing them in the literary field, the victory of the vices and crimes, and are just in pearls of wisdom and transgression, despite its radicalism and its excesses, he dispersed between each call to the unbridled and selfish behavior where the culmination of pleasure should be the only north that we face with its liberating ... if we are prepared to read it.

Tomorrow I will add this post to the appropriate critical comments that I promised. Read other reflections, and quotations from both works, in my Tumblr .
