Gradually the best actress award and best director was revealed, and the best supporting actress already seemed to indicate a different path in this award, the deserved Viola Davis, since best director for Denzel Washington and best film for Fences were not in the nominations, And justice was made received the award for best actor.
Best animation was Zootopia, with a message about diversity, and although the criticism indicated this personally, Moana and Trolls (which was not indicated) seem better to me.

Best actor in the miniseries went to English: Tom Hindleston, who starred in The Night Manager and Clarie Floy for The Crown, which won best drama series in the sequel.
La la Land was the big winner leading the 7 nominations, while Moonlight (Picture above) who won only best drama movie was the deception, in the Hollywood glamour and the ironies and jokes with Donald Trump, who already reacted saying that she would be Hillary’s mistress.

The Golden Globe 2017

We left some of Sloterdijk’s I Spheres to talk about the Golden Globe, the
Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) award to be held on January 8.
The Golden Globe precedes the Oscar and often avoids surprises, a major award this year, according to Globo’s website, is the critically acclaimed musical “La la land: Singing Seasons,” which rescues the genre that made history in Hollywood, (Carrie Fisher), his mother Debbie Reynolds, a day after, who made the historic Sing in the Rain.
La la land as best comedy or musical film, also contends best director (Damien Chazelle), best actor in comedy or musical (Ryan Gosling) and best actress of comedy or musical (Emma Stone), as well as direction and original script (Damien Chazelle), song and soundtrack.
It will compete with the “traditional” film, the social networking film “Deadpool,” with other nominations also for best actor in comedy or musical with Ryan Reynolds.
With many indications also appear the dramas “Moonlight” with six nominations, and “Manchester seafront” with five.
Best director, along with Damien Chazelle (“Land Wing”), Tom Ford (“Night Animals”), Mel Gibson (“Till the Last Man”), Barry Jenkins (“Moonlight”) and Kenneth Lonergan -sea”).
Best Movies: “Up to the Last Man”, “At Any Cost”, “Lion”, “Manchester by the Sea” and “Moonlight”.
Meryl Streep, who is the best actress in comedy or musical for her participation in “Florence: Who’s That Woman?”, Will receive a prize for the work as a whole.
Among the best animations: “Moana”, “Ma vie de courgette”, “Kubo and the magic strings”, “Sing” and “Zootopia”, I missed the “Trolls” hopefully it will appear on the oscar list.
There are many other indications, with the little remembered, but interesting (I only saw the trailer, but the story strikes me as genius) “Fences”, which appears in the list of best supporting actress Viola Davis and best actor in drama Denzel Washington The director), should appear at least as best director and best film.
There is no indication for Star Wars and some pointers for “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story” as the best actor for John Travolta, a bit forced.
Immunological spaces e the Creation
04
Jan
Sloterdijk from page 29 to 51 will give a detailed account of his interpretation of the biblical Genesis until the sixth day of creation, beginning with a situation of St. Augustine, which curiously
gives him the definition of immunology:
They are not vessels full of you that make you
Firm and stable; Because, if they break, nor for
This you will shed, and even when you shed
Upon us you do not remain on the ground, but gather us together.
Op. Cit. St. Augustine, Confessions, I, iii
It will pass on page 31 by the equally important passage which is “an event which, in the account of Genesis, appears in two versions: one in the final act of the work of the six days, which does not, however, mention the scene of the insufflation, and again as First act of all subsequent creation, only now expressly emphasizing creation through the breath and with the characteristic distinction between the modeling of clay in the first step and the blow in the second. “(Sloterdijk, 2016, p. 32)
And after citing again the biblical text of genesis: “… breathed into his nostrils a breath of life and man became a living” (page 33) gives his Adamic vision: “Adam would remain a curious clay artifact; It would be no more than an arbitrary installation on the unprotected land “(idem).
After long passages with curious biblical interpretations, such as the one that speaks on page 50 of vocation, with an inspiration, a term that is equally important in the text, which states that: “animated or sorrowed by memories and regressions misgteriosas, they keep under their care Submerged images of a protohistorical inspirational community, that of the double soul on the sixth day of Creation. ”
He inaugurates a new part of the introduction that will define his “spherology”: “every history is the history of animated relations”.
One of the most inspiring images of this excerpt is the life-size clay figures in the tomb of China’s first emperor Quin (259-210 BC), but I took another Picture.
Allies and the bloated community

We continue to comment on Spheres I of Sloterdijk in his introduction.
Explaining the bubble influx, Sloterdijk begins to develop his analysis of modernity from the genesis, exploring the Copernican model that is at its origin, to affirm that it is not by chance that “a series of exploratory ruptures have begun, aimed at an exterior devoid of human beings … “(Sloterdijk, 2016, 22), but which did not cease to” produce discomfort as the infinity of the universe “(idem) reflection of the astrophysicist Kepler, protesting the model of Giordano Bruno “there is a non-know -that of terrifying and hidden. “
The image of an explosion on the surface of the Sun, larger than Earth illustrates this passage.
The author also quotes the English physicist and cosmographer Thomas Digges, who in the 1570s had already proved that the theory of the celestial layers was unfounded and “also the calculating image that the Earth was surrounded by spherical vaults” (page 23) Was wrong, but as I said in Pascal’s phrase: “the eternal silence of infinite spaces terrifies me,” and the machinic and rationally explained world was advantageous to the Enlightenment.
It then develops the deliberate greenhouse effect, where its “lack of space wrappings through a civilized artificial world … this is the ultimate horizon of Euro-American technical titanism” (page 25).
After criticizing the policies of progress and ecological destruction, he writes: “In order to make room for the substitute artificial sphere, the remains of a faith in the inner world and in the fiction of a security are exploded in all regions of the old world. The name of a radical market enlightenment that promises a better life, but which, in a first moment, only devastates the immune norms of the proletariat and the peripheral populations “(page 27).
He emphasizes the importance of the ontological resumption and that this is the concern of more contemporary philosophers: “The popular plan of forgetting oneself and the Being operates through a mocking disregard for the ontological situation” (page 28).
Before turning to criticism of idealism and a rereading of Christianity, he points out on page 29 what is the center of the book: “As dwelling always means to constitute spheres, smaller or greater, men are creatures who establish circular worlds and look on Direction to the exterior to the horizon. “

The inflated community
02
Jan
The book in the Brazilian translation of Sphere I – Bubbles, here in 2016, in Germany
in 1998 (Spheren I: Blasen), talks about the Introduction of inspiration for bubbles, but the whole title is: THE ALLIES or the Inspired Community (the capital letter is Of the author), but I reversed the analysis to follow as the author writes.
The title has several spherical inspirations, but the most important is the G.H. Every, from 1887, Bubles, an oil painting of Sir John Everett Millais (1829-1896), where the author speaks of the oval balloon made by his “insufflator” and in the time that of life of a bubble, accompanies the life that Let it escape until it burst “at the same time a sigh and an exclamation of jubilation”.
The bubble, the object created, and its “insufflator, there is a solidarity that excludes the rest of the world” (Sloterdijk, 2016, p.20), and “exist together in a field strained by attentive sympathy.”
But gradually he outlines the purpose of this metaphor, “the child who follows his soap bubbles in the open space is not a Cartesian subject clinging to his or her locus of thought without extension, to observe an extensive thing in its trajectory in space” (ibidem) , In a clear reference to the Cartesian dichotomy between the thing and the extensive thing (res extensa).
Thus raises his first questions: “and what happens to who is not the breath of anyone? Every life that emerges is individualized, is it as such contained in a sympathetic breath? “(Sloterdijk, 2016, 21), the author goes to Schopenhauer’s question:” is it legitimate to think that everything that exists and is thematized would be wrapped in the care of somebody? ” (Idem).
The question you are asking is a reference to Heidegger: what do we mean when we say we are in the world? But it actualizes and reformulates it using the question of necessity: “In fact, necessity is known (Schopenhauer called it the metaphysical necessity) that everything that belongs to the world or to the being as a whole is contained in a breath, as In an indelible sense. Can this need be fulfilled? Can it be justified? “(Sloterdijk, 2016, 21).
Before arriving at the central point of its outline, modernity will ask the question which is a direct reference to Ludwig Wittegestein’s Logical-Philosophical Treaty: “Who first conceived the idea that the world would be absolutely nothing more than the soap bubble Of a breath that encompasses everything? What exterior would belong, then, all that is the case? “(Idem).
The question of modernity and its allies is outlined, which is why I left it for later.

I wish you peace? What Peace?
31
Dec
International day of peace, we wish for a happy New Year, it would be better 
to make a commitment for a better year than this one, where world tensions seem to surface, the United Europe seems to be on the way out and the United States of America seems disunited, not to mention Of Jerusalem divided into three (and new tensions), Syria, Africa and the Arab world.
We are already talking about Pax Roman (see the post), the Westphalian Peace Treaty (the Tolerance Treaty) and the Eternal Pax, but it seems that it is not from any of this peace that we speak, in fact Pax Eterna is no more than the idealist model of Peace of modernity, what peace do we want then?
Perhaps a little of all of them, from the Pax Romana we should think of laying down the arms, but not only the defeated ones but rather the winners, of the Treaty of Peace we should desire the peace of tolerance, by the way, that is the acceptance of Different social and cultural values and, from the Eternal pax, a treatise on Peace that looks at a world as a homeland of all, where differences do not mean intolerance, where the acceptance of values and peoples is a truth and not a hypocrisy, and especially Where there are feelings of solidarity.
Confessional messages, blessed and well-intentioned desires will not bond in a divided world, where the 2016 facts seem more promising for division than union, is a step back, no doubt, but perhaps necessary for us to reflect a little on OTHERS.
What I hear most is the word dialogue, the less I see it to be practiced, we must break the vicious circle of this pseudo-ideological, pseudo-religious discourse and in fact each one is inside his bubble (I will share the reading of the book Spheres I – Bubbles by Peter Sloterdick), yes they are not boxes, because they can remain closed, while bubbles are a breath of passing illusion, this is the idealistic world.
Do not say anything to others about your conceptions and beliefs, listen to him carefully, he is wanting to tell you something all the time, although sometimes inconveniently, it is quite true, but perhaps because his ears are inattentive and his sight darkened .
“I leave you peace, I give you my peace,” said Jesus to his contemporaries, but what peace he gave, the one capable of suffering to the end, going to extreme sacrifice for the Others, and many think that this peace is An “inner peace”, something extraterrestrial or the “eternal pax” of the moderns, this has led us to two wars and may lead us to a third, it is a lying Peace.
What can we say about the year that goes?

In Brazil, a lot of people are already late, in the world allegations of corruption,
a conservative wave, the post-truth (we have already posted), it is difficult to comment everything, I then separated any facts related to Information, which is my beach:
The fact that news appears all the time on the Web has made many people pass not read more newspapers, but journalists found that having “a full day” to process news, could give more accuracy and more analysis in the facts, people need “digest”.
The serious and almost daily events of 2016 required ”serious” journalism with what is being called zero ethics or experience, is a response to post-truth, or time in which facts contest the Directed analysis.
The year began with the “white” Oscar that generated protests and ironies, no black nominees for awards, at this point the real in social media was very good, which joked the awards.
In february Ukraine officially broke with the pro-Western governmental coalition, breaking into a crisis that would make a war with Russia with strong interests there.
In March Obama made a history visit to the island of Cuba, which begins to resume with the US.
In April the impeachment process of President Dilma is presented in the Federal Chamber, presided over by Eduardo Cunha, who would be dismissed on May 5, on May 12 Dilma Roussef is removed from the presidency of Brazil and becomes defending for violating tax laws. The mass spectrometer of the Rosetta probe confirms the presence of substances related to the origin of life in the comet’s tail 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko, almost unnoticed but fundamental to explain the origin of life.
In June, in a surprising plebiscite the UK opts to leave the Eurozone, it is called BRExit, begins the Eurocoup Soccer on June 10 that would be won by Portugal.
The retired deputy Eduardo Cunha resigned from the position of president of the Brazilian Congress of Deputies, after which he will be arrested for misappropriation of public money.
The Olympic Games begin in Brazil, under the motto of improvisations (brazilian term is gambiarras), Brazil wins the unprecedented gold medal in football, the main selection begins to have victories over the command of coach Tite.
On August 31, Dilma Roussef is definitely removed from the presidency by assuming the presidency of her deputy Michel Temer.
On Oct. 4 Hurricane Matthew Hurricane hits Haiti causing 877 deaths and many damage, on October 7 Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for fighting the end of the Civil War in Colombia, but the people Rejects in plebiscite, and Bob Dylan Nobel Prize of Literature.
On November 8, Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, and on November 26, Fidel Castro died and on November 29, a plane carrying Chapecoense in Colombia crashed, killing 71 people and leaving 6 injured.
In December, Brazilian poet and popular brazilian writer Ferreira Gullar died at the age of 86, Park Geun-Hye is removed from the South Korean presidency by favoring a friend, Matteo Renzi resigns from the post of prime minister of Italy taking over Paolo Gentiloni.
When we imagine that the tragedies were over, Andrei Karlov, the Russian ambassador to Turkey, is murdered and a few days later a Russian plane crashes, a band, a doctor and journalists.
What is verifiable in the post-truth
29
Dec
What the English, through the University of Oxford defined as post-truth, 
has little or nothing to do with philosophical hermeneutics, that is, objective facts and personal beliefs, in the logic of the hermeneutical circle after entering into fusion and dialogue giving rise to new Truths when it comes to hermeneutics and thus, “individual” discourses are part of the whole.
The kind of truth at stake is that of the “authority” of pseudo-owners of truth, the state is in check, especially in the last elections around the planet, until Angela Merkel had losses in the regional elections of Germany, and the prime minister Of South Korea, takes with a “simple” act of corruption has totally lost the credibility, already in Brazil …
The logic of everyday life should change, bosses and bosses no longer have space in modern companies, it is known that many of them were manipulative and authoritarian, incidentally who is not, even among religious hierarchy is complicated, the pope tells the bishops that ” They are not princes. ”
Parents are terrified of their children’s contestation, but the truth is that no one grows up if they do not answer, do not question, the most important truth in philosophy is the question, the answer can take ages and fry millions of neurons.
I am of the opinion that there is a setback that I have called de-globalization, but a new cycle of changes will come later, a global globalization with the participation of all and a more “globalized” truth.
Whats happen in Brazil in 2016?
28
Dec
Manifestations, arrested politicians, record of hearing in sessions of the senate
and congress, remember that last year was the monthly, impeachment, etc., was a lot, almost a fact per day, and still had the Olympics, prison of president of Congress Eduardo Cunha and the bankruptcy of Rio de Janeiro, I almost forgot the main one: the demonstrations, some of them surpassing the millions.
My synthesis is that the three powers have resolved to “work”, sometimes for their own benefit (as it always was) and sometimes for the benefit of the population, but most often in confrontations and this is the novelty, for there would be such a balance “of three powers. “
Remember, in the first polemical decisions of the year, the Court decides on the validity and “rite” of the impeachment process of the former president Dilma Roussef, in March, 9 to 2.
The investigations of the lava-jet approach to Lula and Gilmar Mendes decides that Lula could not become minister chief of the Civil House of Dilma, Judicial dispute x Executive.
In May Minister Teori Zavaski decided to suspend Cunha (the impeachment had already occurred), because the Supreme Court understood that Cunha used the mandate to “promote spurious interests”, Legislative vs. Judiciary dispute.
In September Minister Carmem Lucia assumed the presidency of the FTS and changed the “solemn” tone of the house, and addressed the citizens to whom she gave “supreme authority over all of us, public servants”, even if this takes years is a new breath To a house so “learned”.
In a decision applauded by many, but not so much by the “learned” gentlemen, the Court decided to authorize the arrest of prisoners to be arrested in the second instance of Justice, but it had to be voted twice, until the OAB made appeals, only being approved at the beginning of October.
In a new vote hearing the people, the disapproval was considered unconstitutional.
But the biggest arm drop was for the end of the year, on December 5, Minister Marco Aurélio of the STF decided, at the request of the Sustainability Network, that Renan Calheiros should be removed from the position of chairman of the Senate, since Responds process.
He gave in to nothing, but Renan went through serious constraints, such as rejecting a court order, in a pathetic scene, but that showed the power he has despite the proceedings.
Ended up? No, new battle now on the 10 measures against corruption, which resulted in Sergio Moro and Gilmar Mendes going to the Senate, now Minister Luis Fux ordered that the “popular” nature project return to the National Congress, since it was completely Altered, escaping to its initial scope.
I will not conclude by just stating one fact: the three powers working, here its new.
