  2. Con calma

    Heavy Metal Kingdom: La nueva ola del rock británico | DOCUMENTAL | ARTE.tv Cultura

    Interesante documental sobre la nueva ola del rock británico: guitarras de cartón (yo las ví de marquetería), queríamos ser Led Zeppelin pero con las actitud y la rabia punk, los primeros bolos en los sótanos de los locales de las asociaciones y clubs obreros, Samson y su batería enmascarado Thunderstick, la «battle jacket» (colegas eran aquellos con los que te podías intercambiar la chupa)…

    «Cuando Angel Witch escribía canciones sobre sirenas y brujas blancas y cosas de esas, no pensamos «esto es algo estúpido», sabíamos que lo era. Pero lo aceptábamos porque, aunque fuera un poco tonto, ¿qué más teníamos? […] El país era un desastre. Había auténtica miseria política y social en el Reino Unido. Así que, junto a todas esas cosas que estaban ocurriendo, a uno le gustaba la idea de que existiera una bruja blanca que vive al lado.»

    Interesante la historia de Murder in Hex Hollow sobre el asesinato de un curandero powwow en 1928 en los EEUU. El powwon era magia popular que cogía elementos de distintas tradiciones cristianas europeas y se había desarrollado en los EEUU por medio de los alemanes de Pensilvania en el s. XVIII. Uno de los principales manuales de estas practicas era Long Hidden Friend de Johann Georg Hohman.

    Este libro se puede consultar aquí: The long lost friend, or, Faithful & Christian instructions containing wonderous and well-tried arts & remedies, for man as well as animals : with many proofs of their virtue and efficacy in healing diseases &c. the greater part of which was never published until they appeared in print for the first time in the U.S. in the year 1820

    Van algunos recortes de este libro que señala muchas de las preocupaciones y problemas de salud comunes. Me sorprendió que comenzara con una sección de testimonios que avalaban las virtudes del libro y contaban los problemas que éste les había solucionado.

    He recortado del libro un encantamiento para superar a hombres que son más fuertes que uno. Aunque el asesino confiaba en el powwow, de hecho si no creyera en ello no hubiera asesinado, prefirió llevar consigo a dos socios.

    Reconozco que no tenía ni idea de Adamastor y si llegué a él fue por un juego de mesa. Un poco injusto con lo que ha sido definido como «o mito mais importante para aqueles que tratam das viagens das descobertas dos Portugueses.»

    En este artículo: Adamastor, Espíritu do Cabo das Tormentas de O.J.O. Ferreira se repasa la historia de esta creación de Camoens y cuáles han sido las interpretaciones que ha tenido a lo largo de la historia y su representación en el arte. No se asusten por su extensión pues contiene las versiones en tres idiomas: afrikáans, inglés y portugués.

    Entre las principales víctimas que reclama Adamastor en «Os Lusiadas» están: Bartolomé Diaz, Francisco de Almeida e Sousa de Sepúlveda. El naufragio de Sepúlveda en la costa sur de Natal fue la historia que más me sorprendió. Tras el naufragio comenzó una peregrinación por tierra para encontrar un lugar desde donde regresar a casa. En ese vagabundear son robados y desnudados por una tribu local, la mujer de Sepúlveda, Dona Leonora, «la humillación fue insoportable y rehusó dar un paso más, cubrindo su cuerpo con arena […] Finalmente Dona Leonora y sus dos hijos murieron y Sepúlveda alucinado desapareció en la floresta, sin ser visto nunca más.»

    Me quedan dos cosas pendientes: encontrar una guía o un libro de creaciones mitológicas posteriores a griegos y romanos, esos seres que inventamos para complementar a los clásicos y leer más sobre el naufragio de Sepulveda… Miren que buena pinta tiene esto: Naufrágio de Sepúlveda: uma sequência da transformação da história no decurso das edições

    O «Naufrágio do galeão grande São João» é o primeiro relato da História Trágico-Marítima, publicada em 1735, e do desastre ocorrido em 1552. O relato conhecido como «Naufrágio de Sepúlveda» é o mais famoso entre todos os relatos de naufrágios. Contudo, devido à existência de um manuscrito e de diversas edições, o que conhecemos é resultado de várias alterações ao longo do tempo. Neste trabalho, através da análise comparativa do manuscrito e de sete versões publicadas, tenciona-se esclarecer como a narrativa foi modificada ao longo das edições.

  3. For #TwoSpirits, An Opportunity To Reclaim Acceptance Across #IndianCountry

    #KLCC | By Brian Bull
    Published November 29, 2018

    "The term '#TwoSpirit' in #NativeAmerican culture often describes a person possessing both male and female spirits. And they’ve been around well before the Santa Maria or the Mayflower dropped anchor. And while 'Two Spirit has been used for Indians who identify as gay, bisexual, or transgender…many say there’s more to it than that. KLCC’s Brian Bull explores a community that’s finding its voice again after generations of oppression, prejudice, and oversight.

    "This summer, the annual #Powwow in #SiletzOregon presented something subtle…yet powerful.

    "A new sign affirming tribal members could compete in the gender category of their preference debuted at this year's annual #SiletzPowWow.

    "Lisa Norton, a member of the #ConfederatedTribesOfSiletz Indians, explains.

    "'It’s a competition pow-wow, so people dance in categories…traditionally male or female.

    "'So one of the things we wanted to do was #ungender that, so we were able to post a sign that said we were an open and affirming pow-wow. And that people could feel free to compete in the category they desired.'

    "It was the first time such a sign was posted at the event. This pleased #JackieCloud, a Chippewa who identifies as a 'Two Spirit'.

    "'And I also saw Two Spirit individuals out there dancing. And I was like, 'YEAH! Cool!'

    "Cloud joined the other dancers.

    "'Y’know there’s that twinge of excitement, exhilaration, oh like…it’s okay. And I commented to someone that I was with there at the pow-wow, and she said, 'That’s where we need to be. That’s where we need to be going.'

    "'And so I was very proud of the tribe of #Siletz to…to acknowledge that.'"
