Prompter

Richard was a writer with usual crisis, and he worked in a magazine very popular and without pride and nobility, a magazine for housewife that pass the day to read cuck up and after they told it to friends; he was very bored and disgusted from this life, and the moment better of day was when he ended his job and he could writer his history, very short tales, with different genres, adventure, love, philosophy, cultural, humanistic and other. From time he has usual crisis of creativity; he didn’t wrote something and was very boring; a Saturday, he was always earl raising, in front of his computer he decided to write, and he concentrated on the white sheet, he thought a tale, and begun to write, but after some line he deleted all and begun again; after some tentative an idea, a history of a teen, Alice, and he thought what tale he could tell; he seen the sheet that alone composed of lines, and he read these lines, that said: “Alice was a teen that attended an private exclusive school, and she dreamed to make the writer; she loved the past writers from ancient Greek to contemporary, she loved read and in hers school she was considered very intellectual, she has written from young age of 10 years old, and now she was 18 years old; some time she read again the first tale and she laughed about the poor histories that she has written, very dingy, but she has, then, alone 10 years old, hence it was justifiable. This history Richard read and read again, and after: “I am Alice, and I am suggest to you a tale, now you must follow”. Richard tried to write something but he was blocked and felt an absence of logic and of a history; suddenly the phone sounded and Richard took the receiver, was the editor that wanted know the level of the next tale because he has wanted publish his tales, Richard told to editor, George, that he was working very well and very much; while he spoke to editor on sheet continued the tale, and same Richard read what that Alice was writing, and in fact the editor asked: “What do you are writing now?”, and Richard: “I am writing the history of Alice”, and George: “Very good, who is Alice?”, and Richard seen that on the sheet shown a face of a teen, and she said to Richard: “Alice is a teen, as I have said to you, above told it, and he wanted become a writer…”, and Richard: “Yes, now I remember…”, and George: “What do you are remembering?”, and Richard: “I remember what Alice is saying to me”, and George: “Are you sound?”, and Richard: “Yes, perfectly, because Alice is saying me the idea”, and George: “Who is Alice?”, and Richard: “The teen of tale, she is writing the tale”, and George: “Where is Alice now?”, and Richard: “In computer”, and Richard: “Just moment I will call the police, don’t worry in jail you con write, just a moment”; and George broken the call phone; while Alice continued to write, and Richard read it.

 Portrait of a city: moral relativism

Jay McInerney(1955) in the Bright lights, big city is a portrait of a city, in this case New York, but the author a particular attention to daily behavior; after a night in a night club the protagonist, involuntary met a woman with curlers and a dog, that when sees the protagonist he become vigilant; the comment is: “It is normal for a dog!” and answer: “Certainly, but the description so accurate, and punctual that hasn’t importance in history, is a moment of mere realism”, as the scent from a bakery; as the description of emotion that every couple has felt during the first rapport, alone and already married; it is alone the prime experience that every couple makes, this is living together almost an experiment to tried new experiences and above all, consider if the matrimonial life is going to be nice, and the protagonist looked the windows of fourth floor, and the description translates what we can feel in similar episode: “Behind those windows is the apartment that you have shared with Amanda, when you was arrived in New York. It was small and dark but to you liked the ceiling…”, voluntary or no the author describes the emotions that in conformity Marcel Proust’s(1871-1922) code, that in his romances, La recherché, he described the emotions and images that are tied to some moment, and that we keep in our memory, and that reemerge when we have a experience as a scent, an image, a scene, a taste; it is the realism, mere realism, and other images: “You have had money to rent, your preferred restaurant…every morning you have waked with the scent of bakery. You gone out to buy the journal…it is occurred two years ago before that you have married”; I think that the author has took personal memories, that confirms what I have said, because the life that, after years, become mechanical, is so, the behavior of protagonist is portrait every man in the word, hence more than a portrait of a city it is the portrait of word. Other characteristic that if think, I have very much despise, is the use of sniff that the author describes and with very much particulars; it is the moral relativism of title; because the use or dependence of drug is mean of weakness, that during this romance is evident above all in meeting in night club or other places; but also it is life of a city. As is a involuntary meeting or overbearing manner of a crazy that has seat on knee of a lady, and around is indifference, the author describes the reaction: “Almost every passengers are looking the scene but they feign of don’t see”, it is behavior of whom will not problems. The attention of protagonist is took from a announce of a disappeared with description and painting, while the green of traffic light appears. It is more than a romance is a size of labor day. The following tale is a experimented realism but in job, and the author concentrated the attention of emotive dynamic, hence from external realism he took the internal truth; but it is always realism.

Artist in the history: Konrad Fiedler

During the past century it was usual consider the artist as a kind of human that lived in the his word, where he imagined and created, independently from other causes form himself; nothing was more false of this concept and idea, because the artist was in the history, in the town, in the word and he was attentive to gain an job, costumers and other; hence the artist was the human that was present in the history; its natural, following the comments, but a historical art man as Roberto Longhi(1890-1970), at last in Italy, was the idealist exponent, although didn’t declared, of this address, that has took directly from Hegelian philosophy, and the in literature, was exponent otherwise idealist Benedetto Croce(1866-1952). But we can consider that sometime also a historical art man as Konrad Fiedler(1841-1895), that was born and grown up in the moment influenced from Hegel(1770-1831), and his idealism he, in the principal book Uber den ursprung der kunstlerisschen tatigkeit, has ascertained that that the artist is in the history, and these words are the proof: “These stressed the rapport of man to word that surrounded. Because if every explication about the nature of creation of art are unsatisfactory, the unique hope of find a new solution to this old problem, it is to go back to rapport of man to the external word…”; it is certainly isn’t a daily problem, but purely intellectual and directly reportable to the critic of art; but who has read the art history during years and has read sometime, no certainly always, the ideal consideration of artist, it is an ease and surprise, because it preview usually that the idealization of artist is usual as false consideration. This new address of interpretation of art history, in opinion of Fiedler: “It want above all a change from origin in the conception of man to external word…”; it is further ascertainment of the artist is a man. I must also consider that this concept is repeated constantly for the book, and from original it become boring, but we must also think that the originality of this idea, then, was very important and represented a novity, because contrasted the dominant Hegel’s Idealism; and we can also consider that this consideration of humanity and historic nature of artist, Fiedler has translated in more interpretation, because he took the element of feel, this is sensation: “The human gender is able of sensations and perceptions, and he took only effects that he transformers to goods of conscience.”, it is the preclara indication that the humanity of artist, fortunately, is present and the artist, as everybody, is subject to feel and emotion, that he takes also from the society, that Fiedler not mentions but when he talks of artist in the history, he implied the society, hence the human gender.

The price of democracy

We are accustom think the democracy as an perfect system, but we consider it in the west countries, because other countries in the word think the democracy a failed of civility, it is the relative moralism, this is the customs that in a country are dominant, that is daily following of history of that country; it is as the our customs we have got custom that the democracy is free, and in fact nobody asks to us some money necessary to live in democracy, hence the price isn’t. It is present every day, how? It is the principal question, and the price of democracy is the lack of freedom of make the actions that one tribunal could judge illegal; the price are the laws, necessary certainly, but it is a price, the prohibition of every actions, legal or illegal, a price likewise necessary, because a state is a nation and no a brothel, hence the laws are necessary, but beyond the necessity the laws are also a price; when we says and judge ourselves as free, we are erring because the freedom is that whose the law recognize the legitimacy, hence the freedom of speak, think expression, write(otherwise I could be in jail or capital pain), and opinion, that is the think expressed, otherwise it is alone a mute opinion; but the law condemns the robbery, the homicide and other crimes, that are called so because it violets the proprieties of other; it is the price, the forgotten of to make everything; therefore the price is the freedom, the freedom of choose illegal actions, this liberty isn’t, and the cost is so, why? In common opinion it is necessary to civil living together, and it is normal for us, after I will consider origin of this think, because we have got custom to respect of rules, and never we think that these rules are limitations, limitations of our freedom, because we don’t think that the freedom is absence of rules, that are everywhere because necessary, but in unison it are also the limitations; in fact we can make everything when we are in owner house, alone and because in that place we are owner of ourselves and to decide every actions, because nobody can impede it, why? Simple because it isn’t, thereupon it can’t impede to us make something, we are alone, and we can make all. The second motive of this assay, why we are accustomed to respect of law? Simple because we are accustomed  once the childhood to respect of  some rule, the polite comportment during the dinner, to don’t say something that is impolite, to respect of guests, that are daily rules of every family, hence once the children’s age we have took the accustom of respect something, persons or things; this exercise is going to follow our life, thank it we think instinctively that the crime is wrong, because our freedom has already been limited once the childhood, through the politeness; whereby we pay the price of democracy for whole our life.
