Due spunti da @agorarai di stamattina; * il sindaco di Pesaro #matteoricci racconta di un suo collegamento con una radio italoamericana in cui gli americani si vantavano che Trump ha elargito mille euro cadauno. Ricci giustamente risponde che lo stato italiano (con tutti i suoi problemi) attraverso il suo sistema sanitario (con tutti i suoi problemi) offre ai cittadini molto piú dei mille euro di Trump. Basta pensare al tampone gratuito che negli Usa costa 2/3mila dollari... * Enrico Bertolino con la garbata ironia della sua rassegna stampa parla dei pensionati italiani in Portogallo... Si parte dal #paradiso fiscale portoghese che ha alimentato la transumanza italiana per transitare attraverso le prime misure fiscali (10%) che fNno storcere la bocca per arrivare alla fine della #favola con il precipitoso rientro perché "Non ci fidiamo del sistema sanitario portoghese". Morale: ma il sistema sanitario italiano non si finanzia con quei pochi che pagano le tasse😊? * Sarebbe interessante accedere al sistema sanitario 730 alla mano.... https://www.instagram.com/p/B98vUKMooVC/?igshid=d0zlbiezipyj

Barbarella Literary echoes

Stefano Junior

                Barbarella, a premier space navigator of the 41st Century is tasked by the President of Earth to recover the deadly Positronic Ray device from the grip of a mad scientist, Dr. Durand Durand, hiding within the distant Tao Ceti star system.

Roger Vadim’s 1968 film adaptation of Jean Claude Forest’s campy and fetish sci-fi comic, is a colourful romp following the exploits of its’ titular space adventurer as she careens intently and helplessly from one harrowing and hostile environment to another.   A vivid product of the psychedelic era of the late 1960s, Barbarella’s plot hinges on the visceral and ephemeral more than traditional storytelling narrative. From the onset of her initial “warp” through space, the viewer is treated to a psychedelic light show from the console of her ship, less a representational illustration of the actual mechanics of space and more in kind with the liquid light shows that emerged in tandem with the psychedelic music and counter culture movement pioneered by the Light and Sound Dimension-a technique that combined modified projection and “melted” colourful images that worked in tandem with the rhythm of a rock concert.  

Barbarella’s narrative, thus, establishes itself as one that is not beholden to a recognizable structure or landscape, as the heroine herself starts her journey in space and is jettisoned from her orbit to some unknown planet.  

Her tiny spacecraft, outer space notwithstanding, is the first environment that is demonstrated, and it is constructed of geometric and ovacular shapes that bear no resemblance to utility and engineering.  In this distant modernity, shape and form are not tantamount to purpose; alternatively the visual language of Barbarella is one of colour, whimsy, and utter sensuality.  The representation of a ship isn’t so much a practical ship as it is one of feeling, made all the more absurd but accessible through the plush texture of its' fully carpeted interiors.

“Your cities do not exist.  Perhaps they have never existed...why do you amuse yourself with consolatory fables?” Kublai Khan, retorts to Marco Polo, whom in Italo Calvino’s fictional “Invisible Cities” in Chapter Four, after having been recounted innumerable impossible tales of invisible cities, for which Polo claimed to have visited.  

Polo responds “...I am collecting the ashes of the other possible cities that vanish to make room for it, cities that can never be rebuilt or remembered.” He goes on to ascertain that the value of precious materiality and language cannot be compared to the value of that which cannot be properly described.   Thus, Barbarella’s cursory travails through transient and seemingly disjointed locations exploit this deeper imperceptible metaphysical adventure, that the reader or viewer actively engages with and recognizes as a part of greater fiction.  Its' material veracity has little merit in discrediting its effect or existence in the imagination.

Barbarella’s spacecraft crash lands on an uncharted 14th planet of Tao Ceti, after it’s psychedelic sojourn through space.   The viewer follows her through the exit of her craft and bears witness to an icy lakebed entrenched by mists and frost within a valley of icy blue mountains that is later identified by her rescuer there, Mark Hand, as the Icy Weir.   Save for Mark’s floating warship and a number of vagabond homocidal children, the surrounding lakebed is not marked by any discernible watersheds or structures. The mountain range that surrounds it is the only notable boundary and further illustrates a feeling of isolation, peril and unrest-a foreign land devoid of delineation and identity that acts as a cold reminder of pre-history or perhaps of a certain post apocalypse that is the feared logical conclusion of a techno-advanced future that has expanded too rapidly outward.

In Chapter Two (House and Universe) of Gaston Bachelard’s “The Poetics of Space”, Bachelard states: “Winter is by far the oldest of Seasons.  Not only does it confer age upon our memories, taking us back to a remote past, but, on snowy days, the house too old....as though it were living in the past of centuries gone by...winter in all its hostility.”  Going on to describe a memory of winter’s past at his fathers’ home, he writes: “When our companions left us, ...it seemed to me that they were going very far away, to unknown owl-and wolf-infested lands”.

Barbarella herself, on the onset of her arrival on that 14th planet is beset with surprising dangers amidst a wintery waterbed.  The viewer is equally perplexed and anxious as it harkens to the individuals personal account of embarking on a new journey, treading on unknown territory-literal “thin ice”, unaware of what fate might beset them and impede their progress.  Examined this way, the Icy Wier itself becomes a room of memory.

Escaping the Icy Wier, and after yet another catastrophic space craft crash landing, Barbarella recovers amidst a dry and rubble and clay like terrain-her latest benefactor, the blind and impotent Pygar, reveals that beneath its’ cliffs is a vast outstretching Labyrinth built haphazardly within the bedrock; curvilinear and organic in shape like a colossal but desolate corral reef .  One that once travelled through, reveals “grotesques”-ill begotten humanoids that have been deformed or merged into the rock formations.  The labyrinth itself, apart from being another perilous location, acts as it’s own corridor of memory, both recalling the Minoan labyrinth of greek myth, for which there was no exit, but housed the deadly Minotaur bull headed beast and Additionally, the inventive Daedalus who make shifted wings of feathers for he and his eager son, Icarus, who thusly met a tragic end. There in lies some foreboding irony that Pygar is both blind and unable to fly at this juncture in the story. The ferocity of these ill shaped “hungry” rocks, like the Icy Wier landscape that preceded it, also taps into that base human trepidation at the unknown at the mercilessness of fate as one moves through an invisible trajectory.  

 When Barbarella and Pygar finally arrive in Sogo, the crystalline city atop a mountain peak spiraling upward in spiraling and spine like structures skyward at the summit that meets the edge of the Labyrinth.  Like all the preceding locations, its’ structure and framework defy logical engineering, presumably even by an alien landscapes standards, yet evokes the very tyranny and villainy it is supposed to represent to both the participants in the story and the viewer.  Sogo is a city of excess and debauchery, its “Great Tyrant” ruler, a leather clad knife wielding dominatrix  is the very embodiment of the class of women who populate it, as evidenced by the bizarre smoking lounge littered with oblong and oval glass spheres filled with a viscous liquid, that house semi nude men,-the spheres connected to long hookah pipes from which many women claim to be literally smoking the “essence of man”.   In Lewis Carrol’s Alice’s In Wonderland,  Alice encounters a strange Caterpillar that encourages her to eat from his mushroom in order to modulate her size-again the location acts both as an illustration of visual absurdity and calls upon a literary reference that in itself is a commentary on the transfiguration of ones reality by means of psychotropic drug use-bridging a temporal gap between stories, that reflected the contemporary concerns of both eras of either work-Barbarella’s inclusion of the nude male being exploited by the woman, more of a commentary on the loosened sexual mores of late 1960’s culture and the freedom women suddenly had within a decade of availability of birth control contraception.

 After a very biblical crucifixion and kerfuffle, Barbarella again escapes beneath the city through a series of interconnected tubular transport devices that draw her to a Resistance organization housed beneath the city. “There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked; and when Alice had been all the way down one side and up the other, trying every door, she walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever to get out again.” Like Alice finds herself amidst a myriad of interconnected passages in the “Long hall”, Barbarella finds herself in an equally dark and obscured control center, not lit by lamp light but by ambient fluorescent light.  The interspersed tubular transports snaking through a non descriptive inky black space.   The leader of said resistance, Dildano, requests sexual payment in the fashion that is concurrent with Barbarella’s future earth, that of simulated orgasm by taking a pill as opposed to physical copulation.   “However, this bottle was not marked `poison,' so Alice ventured to taste it, and finding it very nice, (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavour of cherry-tart, custard, pine-apple, roast turkey, toffee, and hot buttered toast,) she very soon finished it off. `What a curious feeling!' said Alice; `I must be shutting up like a telescope.'

....she was now only ten inches high, and her face brightened up at the thought that she

was now the right size for going through the little door into that lovely garden.”  And subsequently, just as Alice gained passage through the one doorway after partaking in an illicit substance, so too does Barbarella wager her freedom through another transport after sharing sex barbiturates with Dildano.  

Once again confronted with the dastard devices of the evil Durand Durand, Barbarella is subjected her most disharmonious sexual experience since this adventure began, The Orgasmatron, an musical organ like monstrosity of tubes, keys, and contraptions that stimulate the subject to death, and the first time Barbarella’s choice is not her own, another reflection of the abuses of the debaucherous city of night, Sogo.   Whilst various nuts and bolts begin to dislodge and flicker as the machine begins to malfunction, Durand displays a computer screen that reveals the sentient liquid that permeates underneath the city-The Mathmos.  It provides integral energies to the facilities in exchange for negative emotion-SOGO a veritable hotbed of such feelings in a tug of war with this destructive shapeless bubbling globulous creature that siphons and projects.   The Mathmos, both an entity and environment is completely devoid of any permanent shape, another metaphor that echoes the Psychedelic space travel of the first sequence and the uncertain vagaries of all the previous terrain thus explored.

“So has this city become a true Babylon of confusion, full of every sort of sin, with no trace of justice or piety in anyone, or any desire on the part of anyone to cleanse himself” states Matteo Ricci recounting the story of Sodom from “Book of Genesis” in Jonathan Spences’ “the Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci”.   And like the Brimstone and Fire that ultimate consume the forsaken sinful city of Sodom, so does the wrathful Mathmos of Barbarella climax upward and explode outward and upward consuming all of Sogo.  Only, Barbarella and the Tyrant survive in thanks to the blind and innocent Pygar who, Christlike, absolves them of all their sin by adding “An angel has no memory”.  

Yet, in analyzing the script and film by unpacking its environments in relation to Barbarella’s journey and the parallels that can be drawn from their deeply encoded, intentional or not by the authors, literary branches, one can view the entire work as its’s own metaphysical Memory Palace-the kind that Matteo Ricci, in 1577, is purported to have instructed the Chinese emperor as Jonathan Spence accounts in “The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci”.    The absence of definitive infrastructure within all of the disparate locations Barbarella traverses, seems to further that transcendental phenomenology, while also reflecting the psychedelic visual vocabulary that was prevalent in the era from which it was conceived.  All logic, utility, and boundary are dissolved and diluted yet deeper esoteric symbology that is rooted in stories is ellucidated by the spaces that surround the heroine, despite the narrative playing out as superficial, absurd, and fetishistic.

Sa kabuuan,

makikita na tunay na benepisyal at tunay na nagagampanan ng mga silid- aklatan sa Ateneo ang kanilang saysay. May pare-parehong patakaran rin sa mga ito; katulad na lamang ng pagsusuot ng ID, pananatiling tahimik sa lugar, at pagiging disiplinado. Bilang isang komunidad, nagkaroon na ng kultura o mga kasanayan ang mga Atenista sa pagpunta sa mga lugar na ito katulad ng mga naisaad sa itaas. Bagamat naging isang habitus na ang pagdadala ng ID at pananahimik sa mga lugar na ito, may mga mas malalawak pang pag-iisip na makikita sa pag-iral ng mga lugar na ito sa paaralan ng Ateneo de Manila University. Isang ehemplo nito ay ang habitus ng pagkakaroon ng aircon sa bawat isa sa mga lugar na ito. Masasabing ito ay kaakibat ng paniniwala nating mga Pilipino na mas komportable ang lamig kaysa sa init. Itong konseptong ito ay nabuo dahil sa temperatura natin sa bansa kung saan bihira ang klimang malamig. Isang pang mas malawak na ideya na maaring masabing isang habitus ay ang lahat ng mga bagay na nakapaloob sa isang aklatan o aralan; katulad ng mesa, upuan, na mga konsepto lamang nating mga tao ng katotohanan o ideya ng totoong mesa, upuan atbp. Ang mga bagay lahat ng bagay rito sa buhay na ito ay tila mga konsepto lamang na binuo natin upang magkaintindihan at upang mabigyang kahulugan ang mga bagay na ating nakikita at nararamdaman. Isa rin namang espasyo kung saan nagtutunggali ang kapangyarihan ang mga aklatan sa eskuwelahan sapagkat nilikha ito upang magamit ng lahat ng mga estudyante ng Ateneo ngunit nililimita nito ang espasyo sa mga mayroon lamang dalang ID o identification card. Isa rin naman itong lugar kung saan umiiral rin ang konsepto ng espasyo at bilis, sapagkat ang saysay ng mga lugar na ito ay para magkaroon ang mga estudyante ng Ateneo de Manila University ng mga lugar kung saan sila’y maaring mag-aral, makahiram ng libro, gumawa ng proyekto, o makapagpahinga, mayroon lamang mga takdang oras kung kailan magbubukas at magsasara ang bawa’t lugar na mga ito, at para naman sa paghiram ng libro, ay kailangan ring ibalik sa takdang oras.

Kahit pa maraming mga patakaran ang paggamit ng mga lugar na ito, tunay ngang benepisyal at nakatutulong sa mga estudyante ng paaralan ang pag-iral ng mga aklatan at mga study hall na ito sa Ateneo!
