Social media and say nothing !

24 Aug

The media show that many people still use it improperly, to finish theWillStephen chef master program, which did not watch because cooking is a pleasure and an art, the chef Paola Corosella a judge yesterday finalized program, calls craft, but she also complained of insults, profanity, etc. who suffered for their options in the program.

 

What most surprises me is people who say nothing and saw celebrities, there are a lot of good is good to say, but I get at least three times many slogans of self-help, pocket spirituality and the like, do not tell me anything and it’s nice not complain, then more people come to send you the same messages.

 

Will Stephen was invited to participate in the famous TED programs to talk about anything, that first taste for the duration of maximum 20 minutes and then because they choose people who have what to say, I do not even like it, but I recognize someone who has something to say. He produced a fun program, and then says that guy because we are “attentive and eager to know everything about NOTHING or how to do, an uninteresting subject, subject to six minutes of pleasant thing,” here are six tips that he gave:

 

First I KNOW !!! No matter you are unsure, speak with absolute certainty what you are saying, many will watch and to become his followers. According gesture! His body language may appear to have convincing ability, emphasize information with gestures or changing the tone of speech, especially when talking about something that judges relevant.

 

After EI YOU !!! Interact with your audience, giving examples of personal or things of everyday life, it creates a relaxed mood and people can be Understanding NOTHING.

 

If it is difficult to assign a third NOT I AM I AM SAYING, say that the person is important and then repeat if necessary.

USE IMAGES, illustrious, create pictures, decorate the way of his speech, abusing of audiovisual resources, and last has RHYTHM, do your talks follow the ideas to completion.

 

But you can still be talking about ANYTHING, one will listen.

Machado de Assis and the Brazil roclamation of the Republic

29 Mar
In an attempt to unravel the Brazilian soul Darcy Ribeiro wroteMachadoAssisLiteraryLife “The Brazilian people”, and we can also quote (back to him) Sérgio Buarque de Holanda with his Roots of Brazil, could even enumerate other as the recent Martim da Cunha Vasques Dust Glory : one (unexpected) history of Brazilian literature.It is always deeper understand the “soul” of a people peering into their literature, not by chance Marx enjoyed reading Honoré de Balzac and Lenin Leon Tolstoi, among others of course, and not to be alone on the left, Roosevelt (that said read everything) I liked to read Walter Scott in addition to historical anthologies and Greek classics.

Machado de Assis (1839-1908) lived in the late period of the monarchy, Darcy Ribeiro was based on ethnic roots of the colonial period (1530 – 1815), but the historical evidence that says the philosopher Paul Ricoeur, the “I was there” is more fundamental than historiography.

We have already pointed the royalists and republicans elements of Esau and Jacob, and the political quietism in the work Memorial Aires.

Now we want to discover what is called apparent duplications in Quincas Borba, pseudo philosopher, the madness of the “ontology of abandonment” defined by Marta Senna in The Look oblique wizard, work also analyzed by Martim Vasques da Cunha.

But is the period of the proclamation (which is an edict not a popular will) of the Republic who is portrayed in Brás Cubas Epitaph, which breaks with romanticism even strong authors at the time as Flaubert and Zola, to picture a river of January with indifference, pessimism and irony, breaking with the linearity of both romantic literature as preceded the “modernism” to adopting a realistic tone.

Not coincidentally, the work began to be written from March to December 1880 in the Journal, and was later published as a book in 1881.

The work portrays slavery, social classes, scientism and positivism of the time, coming to create even a new philosophy, then developed in Quincas Borba (1891) already after the “proclamation” of the Republic (1889), Quincas Borba It came later in 1891 with a certain “philosophy” and then still Dom Casmurro (1899).

In english, K. David Jackson published “Machado de Assis: literary life”.
