Order in Life and Death

Let the dead die and the living live. Jakob Schneider

Poder e Violência em Hannah Arendt

Pode-se dizer que, quase como imperativos categóricos kantianos , o poder em Arendt é sempre acompanhado de legitimidade , e a violência , nunca. Paola Ranova 05.12.2011 (comentário no texto final de monografia de orientando)

Passionflower

Image
Passionflower Jon Gomm Born in your tiny prison cell the million times smaller than I and you are One single drop, and you’re risen up Afraid of the dark You cracked up through the pavement And super, super slow emotion Your back is gently breaking You reach for the light He can see everything When we get here, everything He can see everything When we get here, everything We can see everything We can hear everything Weakness is not your weakness You are what you grow into You’re not what you were

Alma e Vida

A vida é rápida, mas a alma é lenta. Paola Ranova 02.12.2011 (Inspirado nas obras Bert Hellinger e Clarissa Pinkola Estés )

All You Need Is Love

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love. There's nothing you can do that can't be done. Nothing you can sing that can't be sung. Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game It's easy. There's nothing you can make that can't be made. No one you can save that can't be saved. Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time - It's easy. All you need is love, all you need is love, All you need is love, love, love is all you need. Love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love. All you need is love, all you need is love, All you need is love, love, love is all you need. There's nothing you can know that isn't known. Nothing you can see that isn't shown. Nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be. It's easy. All you need is love, all you need is love, All you need is love, love, love is all you need. All you need is love (all together now) All you need is love

Vida-Morte-Vida

O contrário da morte violenta é a amorosidade da vida.

Força

O que tem força , permanece .

Entrega

Entrega de ser tão tranquila... Entrega de ser tão... Entrega de ser... Entrega. Paola Ranova (07.12.2007)

Grace

Image
Grace She takes the blame She covers the shame Removes the stain It could be her name Grace It's a name for a girl It's also a thought that changed the world And when she walks on the street You can hear the strings Grace finds goodness in everything Grace, she's got the walk Not on a ramp or on chalk She's got the time to talk She travels outside of karma She travels outside of karma When she goes to work You can hear her strings Grace finds beauty in everything Grace, she carries a world on her hips No champagne flute for her lips No twirls or skips between her fingertips She carries a pearl in perfect condition What once was hurt What once was friction What left a mark No longer stings Because grace makes beauty Out of ugly things Grace makes beauty out of ugly things

Retórica e Comunicação

O fenômeno da retórica pode ter várias interpretações. A retórica dos sofistas antigos e o que o Quentin Skinner chama de retórica em Hobbes podem ter caráter manipulador. A retórica em regimes totalitários também é peculiar (ver discurso " O Triunfo da Vontade " de Hitler). A retórica para Iris Marion Young acessa a dimensão afetiva dos interlocutores para promover receptividade ao conteúdo do discurso. São, portanto, formas diferentes de se conceber o mesmo fenômeno ou recurso de linguagem.

"Inimigos"

"Inimigos" (entre aspas porque no fundo, somos todos um) são grandes aliados, porque mostram à nossa dimensão individual exatamente por onde não ir.

Frusciante in the Water The Zephyr Song Red Hot Chilli Peppers Can I get your hand to write on Just a piece of leg to bite on What a night to fly my kite on Do you want to flash a light on Take a look its on display - for you Coming down no not today Did you meet your fortune teller Get it off with no propellor Do it up it's on with Stella What a way to finally smell her Pick it up but not too strong - for you Take a piece and pass it on Fly away on my Zephyr I feel it more than ever And in this perfect weather We'll find a place together Fly on my wind Rebel and a liberator Find a way to be a skater Rev it up to levitate her Super friendly aviator Take a look its on display - for you Coming down no not today Fly away on my Zephyr I feel it more than ever And in this perfect weather We'll find a place together In the water where I center my emotion All the world can pass me by Fly away on my Zephyr W

Excesso de racional-legalidade

A cultura ocidental racional-legal de origem europeia estimula as pessoas a quererem ser só luz. Mas excesso de luz mata e cega #cadêasombra, rsrsrs!!!

Condições iniciais (e inescapáveis) da humanidade

Resumindo um pouco de Thomas Hobbes , em vida coletiva somos todos iguais no que é essencial : na vida , na morte e na dor . As aparentes diferenças entre seres humanos são insignificantes diante da profunda igualdade entre nós . Todos nascemos e estamos sujeitos à dor e à morte (violenta ou natural) a qualquer momento.

Political Theory, or else

Political theory speaks to the soul in a social context. And the soul is not necessarily individual matter .

The Sadness of Beauty

There is a great intent of sadness in beauty. It’s there to make it real. Sorrow makes it easier To place real beauty in this world. Fake beauty is never deep enough. Won’t touch the heart. Will touch the ego. Paola Ranova (1996)

On being delicate

A delicadeza nunca é frágil. Ao contrário ;-)

Reflexão sobre Hobbes e Violência

Para Thomas Hobbes , a subjetividade dos seres humanos , cada um imerso em seu mundo interno, é praticamente infinita, e a pluralidade de desejos , aversões e prazeres também. Mas a profunda igualdade entre todos os seres humanos é objetiva (e para ele é o que realmente importa, pelo menos do ponto de vista da Política e da Razão ), e se manifesta na vida , na morte e na dor . Paola Ranova (2011)

Marcel Mauss

We will always owe something to someone. The connection of everything in this world is called DEBT. Somethings are almighty and self-sufficient… They just exist Like sunlight and water. But humans always need so much… we depend on so much it gets really scary. And freedom will only become when we all dissolve back into nothingness. Paola Ranova (1996)

In the depths of

In the depths of some sorts of pleasure lies pain… It's not the outside world's fault… It's not the earth… Paola Ranova (1996)

Soul Singing

Soul Singing Black Crowes Written by: R. Robinson & C. Robinson I've been down Cascading and blue without a sound Now I've traded my black feathers for a crown So feed me milk & honey Lay me down Lay me down Look around Show me holy places not yet found Let's disappear and we'll hide underground We'll get high and we'll feel safe & sound It comes around Arayayayound You got my soul singing my soul singing You got my soul singing my soul singing You got my soul singing my soul singing You got my soul singing my soul singing Home bound Tired of tired of running town to town Tired of my heart turned upside down Now my life's a smile not a frown The sound The sound You got my soul singing my soul singing You got my soul singing my soul singing You got my soul singing my soul singing You got my soul singing my soul singing Sing sing sing along Sing sing along ;-)

Canvas

If beliefs are sufficiently strong, they sprout from our heads and remain as strong trees in the real world serpents around our wrists or drawings across our skin that do not utter a word. Paola Ranova (2000)

Corpo

Acredito que exista muita verdade no corpo das pessoas.

Nietzsche e Elitismo

Ainda preciso me dedicar à ideia do elitismo em Nietzsche . Ele fala muito mais em poder pessoal do que em poder social , inclusive criticando este último. E também preciso me dedicar a ideia de associação automática (e muitas vezes apressada ) entre elites , elitismo , protagonismo da dimensão individual dos seres humanos e o papel dos talentos .

Buddha's Teachings

(freely translated by Stephen Mitchell) Mind creates the world; what you see arises with your thoughts. If you speak and act with a confused mind, trouble will follow you as certainly as a cart follows the ox that pulls it. Mind creates the world; what you see arises with your thoughts. If you speak and act with a clear mind, happiness will follow you as certainly as your own shadow in sunlight. "It’s his fault." "She shouldn’t have done that." Believe such thoughts, and you live in resentment. "It’s his fault." "She shouldn’t have done that." Question such thoughts, and you live in freedom. Anger teaches anger. Fear results in more fear. Only understanding can lead to peace. This is the ancient law. (Thank you, S.)

Anonimato, Liberdade e Prisão

O anonimato pode ser tanto uma das mais profundas formas de liberdade quanto de aprisionamento .

Paz de Espírito

Quando a memória é conselheira e não tirana, a vida é mais fácil.

Estar alerta não faz mal a ninguém

É muito melhor viver no ceticismo do que na credulidade . E isso não tem a ver com falta de fé , nem com desqualificação de crenças , e sim com a capacidade de identificar ilusões .

Sobre os Limites I: Amor, Liberdade e Respeito

Amor e liberdade se equilibram quando estão associados ao respeito (ver Hellinger ). E na maioria dos casos, respeito é algo que se aprende, eu acho... geralmente pela dor (ver natureza humana nos Elementos de em Hobbes e reflexão sobre a sabedoria em Harold Bloom ).
