AVEDON'S PREGNANT SELVES
PHOTOGRAPHY OF RICHARD AVEDON AT THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART

Avedon's work itself seems to be structured around a fundamental 'island place' of individual being. The subject is starkly portrayed, in silence and asymmetry, against the abstraction of a white background. The whole of an individual's life experience seems visible through the features into which he or she has developed by way of that experience. [Full Text]

Writings and visual artwork illustrating the exigencies of living in a world of text, law, meaning and innovation, how physical materials are informed with text and meaning, the plight of disappearing languages... [Exhibit page]

NOVEDADES INELUDIBLES
LA NOVEDAD, PROCESO DE REDACCIÓN UNIVERSAL, SE COMPLICA PARA DARNOS MUNDO, Y VIBRA EN NUESTRA PERCEPCIÓN
9 agosto 2006

La novedad es raíz y respiro de la dinámica cultural. No es que todo lo que sea de alguna forma novedad tenga ya un valor superior de por sí, por ser nuevo, último, diferente. Es que el arte de imaginar, situar, ver, averiguar y desarrollar la novedad, como fenómeno, lleva a mayor integración de percepciones en un tejido de comprensión y táctica cultural y esencialmente humana.

DIARIO DE CAMPAÑA
José Martí

Este libro es una sucesión de apuntes fugaces escritos en Cuba durante la Guerra de Independencia. Aquí se mezclan las reflexiones sobre el destino de una nación con las descripciones del paisaje, de las comidas o los personajes que rodean a su autor. Aunque parezca extraño, a veces las oraciones yuxtaponen los elementos de un modo casi cinematográfico y confieren a la prosa de Martí un tono cercano al de los escritores de vanguardia de principios del siglo XX.

BARCELONA: "THE GREAT ENCHANTRESS"
Updated 19 December 2005

Blessed with luxuriant geography, Barcelona is situated between two rivers, along the Mediterranean coast, and buttressed by the Collserrola massif. The landscape is naturally verdant and lush, and the present day city includes many barrios which used to be farming villages. Visitors can look out over the entire valley from Mount Tibidabo (a reference to the Biblical temptation of Jesus by the Devil, saying "this I give to you"). [City Page]

XAMPANYERIA: THE 'CAVA BAR'
NUMBERING SANDS: NOTES & MAGNIFICATIONS OF SPAIN [EXCERPT]

1 December 2005

It was one of those rare places that had no name but seemed to mean everything. We called it The Cava Bar because the product was cava, or Catalán champagne, and because it was the only one we knew. We haunted our nameless dominion through many an afternoon. It was our cherished nexus, a territory for the exposition of a certain cordial, intuitive madness. That of living without place. To call it a haunt does not imply that there was anything looming in the deep, there in the recesses of a champagne bar. It was, simply put, a place frequently visited by a group of expatriates.

UNJUST RENDERING: REVERSING THE LIE OF AN OBITUARY AGAINST DERRIDA
20 December 2004

A great and resonant thinker dies, and a great and resonant newspaper publishes an obituary dismissing his work as destructive and "abstruse". It is an unjustifiable communicative travesty. When Jacques Derrida passed away, in October of this year, the New York Times wrote that his work was an attempt to undermine Western culture.

The obituary was full of factual errors and infected with a hard-line bias against complex and rigorous thought... [Full Story]

ENGANDERED LANGUAGES
WORLD'S LANGUAGES DISAPPEARING AT ALARMING RATE
THE ILLUSION OF THE DEFINITE & INVASIVE 'OTHER'
TWO LINGUISTS STAND AS LAST BASTION OF FADING CALIFORNIA LANGUAGE
WORLD'S LANGUAGES ENDANGERED
As many as half of all known languages may die out during the next century. That figure is already staggering, but paired with the estimate of 6,800 believed to be spoken today, it represents a looming cultural catastrophe. In a world where languages with less than 10 million speakers are considered to be "minor" or "obscure" languages by many people, the world's native and regional languages are threatened. [Full Story]
