Livros (e outras coisas) deste ano.

Gosto muito de listas mas mais de lê-las do que fazê-las. Quando me ponho a enumerar, alguma coisa me escapa sempre, escolhas injustas acabam feitas e no fim saio irritado e desiludido com o empreendimento. Quando é coisa de pôr por ordem de preferência ou limitar à dezena, então, é o cabo dos trabalhos.

Em relação a cinema, nem vou tentar. Vi filmes em festivais, no cinema, no Netflix, via Videoclube, em Blu-Ray, no ecrã da sala escura, no ecrã de um computador, no ecrã da televisão. E tente...

Lucie Brock-Boido - Freedom of Speech

If my own voice falters, tell them hubris was my way of adoring you.

The hollow of the hulk of you, so feverish in life, cut open,

Reveals ten thousand rags of music in your thoracic cavity.

The hands are received bagged and examination reveals no injury.

Winter then, the body is cold to the touch, unplunderable,

Kept in its drawer of old-world harrowing.

Teeth in fair repair. Will you be buried where; nowhere.

Your mouth a globe of gauze and glossolalia.

And opening, most delft of blue,...

Kevin Young - Money Road

On the way to Money,

Mississippi, we see little

ghosts of snow, falling faint

as words while we try to find

Robert Johnson’s muddy

maybe grave. Beside Little Zion,

along the highwayside, this stone

keeps its offerings—Bud & Louisiana

Hot Sauce—the ground giving

way beneath our feet.

The blues always dance

cheek to cheek with a church—

Booker’s Place back

in Greenwood still standing,

its long green bar

beautiful, Friendship Church just

a holler away. Shotgun,

shotgun...

DJ Shadow - Bergschrund feat. Nils Frahm

DJ Shadow has unveiled a new visual for his Nils Frahm-assisted single “Bergschrund.” “Bergschrund” was directed by Matt Devine and stars Matthew Sunderland as an unsuspecting target of otherworldly activity. The track comes from DJ Shadow’s latest record, ‘The Mountain Will Fall,’ which was released earlier this year on Mass Appeal Records.

Says director Matt Devine: "To me the track has a really cinematic and also science fiction tone to it. I wanted to make a film that really worked with t...

Daniel Blaufuks - Tentativa de Esgotamento

[image error]

Diz Daniel Blaufuks:

Entre a sexta-feira de 18 e o domingo de 20 de Outubro de 1974, o escritor Georges Perec sentou-se, por várias vezes, num café na praça de Saint-Sulpice em Paris e apontou minuciosamente tudo o que se atravessou no seu campo de visão, entre pessoas conhecidas e desconhecidas, números de autocarros, cães, funerais, e o que consumiu. Essas anotações “do que geralmente não se anota, do que não se nota, do que não tem importância, do que se passa quando não se passa nad...

Joy Harjo - By The Way (for Adrienne Rich)

I’ve given it time, as if time were mine to give.

There was a dam, larger than Hoover or the President or the patent

For the metal creature that sucks up all the dust.

Words had to stop and ask permission before crossing over.

Oh, sometimes they were wild with the urgency of sweet

And leaped—

Mostly the rest were kept in the net

Of swallowed or forbidden language.

I want to go back and rewrite all the letters.

I lied frequently.

No. I was not O.K.

And neither was James Baldwin, though his es...

Lucie Brock-Broido - The American Security Against Foreign Enemies Act

Why do you feel “most vulnerable.” Where,
In Damascus, were you born. To whom do you
Pray. What does it mean to have winged
Brows. Have you ever spoken through
A mesh. Was it dark speech that you made.
Is it hot inside your burqa. Who
Was Frank Sinatra. Why was our war
Called “Civil” and who won.
Can you keep a bright gaze. How tall
Was Allah. What once was Palestine.
What most displaces you. Have you visited
Somalia. Have you ever crossed a border
In a boat, by night, to another land.
Sir, in all how man...
