Historias de amor de la historia argentina

Lucía Galvez

"Quizás este amor debiera terminar así, con la felicidad de los cuentos de hadas. Pero como la historia es vida y no ficción, a los momentos felices suceden los amargos viceversa. O más bien, la realidad entreteje los hilos de oro con los del cáñamo amargo y el protagonista, que ve el revés de ese tejido, no entiende, no puede entender..." (p. 60)

Este libro nos presenta historias de amor (heterosexuales) de la historia argentina, desde los primeros contactos entre los colonizadores y los pueblos originarios hasta los amores de Saens Peña e Yrigoyen, buscando resaltar los cambios de mentalidad, los distintos espacios geograficos con sus caracteristicas economicas y sociales y el papel de la mujer en la historia (aunque debido a las fuentes disponibles y su impacto las historias se suelen centrar más en los hombres).

Al comienzo de cada capitulo presenta el contexto historico de cada amor, usualmente haciendo hincapie en algun daro relevante para el caso (como el poder concedido a los padres para impedir matrimonios).

Dos aspectos que me hicieron ruido con respecto al lugar desde donde escribe la autora respecto a la ciertas percepciones de los actores involucrados en las historias. En primer lugar, la forma en que se refiere a la mezcla entre las culturas originarias y de los colonizadores, que me pareció que estaba (no ironicamente) idealizando la unión, por ejemplo mencionando como la cultura naciente de la convergencia tomaba lo mejor de las dos. En segundo lugar la mención de "niñas-mujeres", termino sobre el cual me gustaría que se explayara

Something weird about the petscop analysis videos ive seen is they dont really bring up how downright sinister rainer was to tiara. They tend to praise rainer for being the upstanding guy who put the evil child predator in his place. Except, he attempted rebirthing too, fucked it up, blamed it on ‘belle’ and then just abandoned her. for 17 years. 

I dont think people understand how badly tiara was abused by rainer because its rainer who made the game. he's the one who’s telling the story. he gets to downplay what he did to tiara. could you imagine getting the whole story about care from the perspective of marvin? People understand what happened to care because rainer literally spelled it out with the a, b, nlm, states that also affect how she looks. compare that to rainer giving tiara an unfinished, reused sprite, with a big happy smile that never leaves her face. a failure who’s so content with existing in a literal cage.

Between rainer drawing her smiling and insisting that she's belle, its like hes trying to pretend nothing happened. There’s no belle a, b, or nlm because he ‘didn't do anything’ to her. because hes nothing like evil marvin, it was her choice to be uncooperative! She’s a quitter! (He just victim blames her. theres no justifiable reason for anyone to design the literal quitters room and still be in the right.) 

Him saying “If you hadn’t given up halfway, you would be Tiara,” is so fucking crazy to me because he literally fucking says she wasnt the one playing the needles before that. (“I put you inside the machine, and played[...] the Needles.”). So then there wasn't anything for her to ‘give up’ on??? AND THEN he admits he fucked it up?? (“I played it wrong, but that would have been okay.”) Like, it just reads as rainer saying it was okay for him to fuck up an incredibly important part of the process. and somehow SHE’S the reason it didn’t work??? Its just, combined with the adoption metaphor (through its reference to the Newmaker case), where the parents dont like the way the child is. and they try this experimental ‘therapy,’ to change her. And it does change her, she gets so traumatized it breaks her off from who she was before, forever. They still get to call her belle, even when they were the ones who destroyed belle. How could she ever be ok with being someone so unwanted? She’s smart. She knows what they want. They wanted to hear her say she's tiara. Except, to them, shes exactly the way she was before. A disobedient, broken girl who cant just act the way they tell her to. So she spends the rest of her life copying someone else. Calling herself tiara. If she says what they want to hear (“I love you newmaker”) then she’ll stop hurting. If she acts just right, they'll accept tiara and she wont be a quitter anymore.

The way those video essayists (mr goon, et al.) will just fixate on marvin saying she's played the needles. and then jump to the conclusion that tiara was the one who gave up on playing the needles. Even when rainer himself literally said she wasnt the one playing!!! Also, they’ll see her call herself tiara and be like “hmm… what if the rebirthing actually worked 🧐” which is NOT the conclusion i would draw from the game about child abuse. I dont think the intent of petscop was to give the concept of rebirthing any functional credibility, failed or not! Like, it just reminds me of how in cases of abuse, people almost always take the word of the abusers over what the child has to say (which is also filtered through the abuse). its just devastating to see.

If you had to ask me, I think rebirthing in petscop's narrative isn't there for people to sincerely discuss if metaphysically reviving someone works. It's not a representation dedicated to the horrific, real life concept of rebirthing. Instead, 'rebirthing' is a shorthand designation for all of the moving parts in the type of abuse that happens in the story, along with how it affects everything afterwards. The ‘reality manipulation’ also works as a metaphor for how people take advantage of having control over the story.

I dont know if you can tell, but rainer’s whole explanation in petscop 12 just makes me feel violent. He literally says, 17 years? “That seems dubious to me. What do you think?”. I dont fucking know, she probably has no concept of time and is probably completely disassociated from reality by that point. Also, something i noticed from p12 is that tiara takes longer than paul to read the messages. The amount of time is roughly about how long it takes to read them aloud. Idk. something about that is heartbreaking to me. im 100% reading too much into it, but when was the last time she read something that wasn’t “quitter’s room?”

I could’ve written this better but UGHHHHH. I hope this makes sense. theres so many other details about this that i didnt write about (irl belle, tiara helping paul, tiara becoming tiara leskowitz, etc). This is definitely only a subsection of the story petscop was telling, but its still so detailed. Unless i got something wrong, then it presented a case of a child being abused, and the abusers getting to tell the story. Which resulted in the audience believing the abusers. Idk if that means petscop is so good it literally replicated that, but in the end, i do think people need to reevaluate how biased the story is and how it affects the events. TIARAAAA you deserved so much better.

disclaimer, im not trying to discredit the general reality warping theories in favor for hard realism and a “it’s all just a big metaphor” reading. Petscop is intentionally ambiguous, and it doesnt really care about straightforward reality. its premise is about a digital and real life world so connected that its hard to tell where the line is. Ignoring that completely neglects the structural mysteries of petscop. i just wanna say this essay comes from the way i interpret petscop. I tend to focus on the parallels between the fantastical elements and the mechanics of irl manipulation/grooming/abuse.

Picasso's `Light Painting´, 1949

(English / Español / Italiano)

A long exposure shot of the artist Pablo Picasso, intent on executing a work using the light-drawing technique in 1949.

This series of images, known since then as Picasso's 'Light Painting', were made with the help of a small torch in a dimly lit room.

The works of art actually disappeared at the very moment they were created, yet they continue to live on more than seventy years later thanks to a different form of art: photography.

The author is Gjon Mili for Life Magazine.

Toma de larga exposición del artista Pablo Picasso, intentando ejecutar una obra con la técnica del dibujo a la luz en 1949.

Esta serie de imágenes, conocidas desde entonces como la "Pintura de luz" de Picasso, se realizaron con la ayuda de una pequeña linterna en una habitación poco iluminada.

En realidad, las obras desaparecieron en el mismo momento en que fueron creadas, pero siguen vivas más de setenta años después gracias a una forma de arte diferente: la fotografía.

Uno scatto realizzato con la lunga esposizione dell'artista Pablo Picasso, intento ad eseguire un'opera con la tecnica del disegno luminoso nel 1949.

Questa serie di immagini, conosciute sin da allora come "Light Painting" di Picasso, furono realizzate con l'aiuto di una piccola torcia elettrica in una stanza poco illuminata.

Le opere d'arte di fatto scomparirono nel momento stesso della loro realizzazione, eppure continuano a vivere oltre settant'anni dopo grazie ad una diversa forma di arte: la fotografia.
