Canzone

Il peso del mondo

è amore.
Sotto il fardello
di solitudine
sotto il fardello
dell'insoddisfazione

il peso,
il peso che portiamo
è amore.

Chi può negarlo?
In sogno
ci tocca
il corpo,
nel pensiero
costruisce
un miracolo,
nell'immaginazione
s'angoscia
fino a nascer
nell'umano -

s'affaccia dal cuore
bruciando di purezza -
poiché il fardello della vita
è amore,

ma noi il peso lo portiamo
stancamente,
e dobbiam trovar riposo
tra le braccia dell'amore
infine,
trovar riposo tra le braccia
dell'amore.

Non c'è riposo
senza amore,
né sonno
senza sogni
d'amore -
sia matto o gelido
ossesso d'angeli
o macchine,
il desiderio finale
è amore
- non può essere amaro
non può negare,
non può negarsi
se negato:

il peso è troppo

deve dare
senza nulla in cambio
così come il pensiero
si dà
in solitudine
con tutta la bravura
del suo eccesso.

I corpi caldi
splendono insieme
al buio
la mano si muove
verso il centro
della carne,
la pelle trema
di felicità
e l'anima viene
gioiosa fino agli occhi -

sì, sì,
questo è quel
che volevo,
ho sempre voluto,
ho sempre voluto,
tornare
al mio corpo
dove sono nato.

1933-1993: Cuba - socialist paradise or Castro's fiefdom?

Submitted by libcom on Apr 28 2006 10:12

tags:

A brief history of Cuba and the 1958 Revolution which examines the alleged "socialist"� nature of the governing regime.

"..the major event of the twentieth century has been the abandonment of the values of liberty on the part of the revolutionary movement, the weakening of Libertarian Socialism, vis-a-vis Caesarist and militaristic Socialism. Since then, a great hope has disappeared from the world to be replaced by a deep sense of emptiness in the hearts of all who yearn for Freedom...."
- Albert Camus, 'Neither Victims nor Executioners'

As Camus says, a deep sense of emptiness is felt by all those who wish for a revolution leading to the creation of a society which is classless and truly socialist. As the history of the 20th century has unfolded we have witnessed the repeated failure of vanguards and leaders to create the society for which the true-hearted revolutionaries have fought and died. Not so long ago most of the left held up the Soviet Union as an example of Socialism or something with some socialist features.

As the Eastern Bloc crumbled and the true horrors of sick states like Ceaucescu's Romania were exposed Cuba became the new Mecca for the left. What we find there is unfortunate and there is little to inspire us in the country which has had Fidel Castro at the wheel of power for over 30 years.

Cuba, about 90 miles off the coast of North America, is the largest of the Caribbean islands. The social services are in a far better condition than they are in other Latin American countries. Virtually every Cuban under the age of 30 can read and write. But the cost of these benefits is high for the working class who have never been in the saddle of power in Cuba. This is not their role as the doting Father looks after their interests. While the figures about literacy and health are good there are a number of statistics which aren't so impressive.

One Cuban in every 340 is in prison. There are 400 political prisoners. Around 50% of the Cuban male population are known to the police or have criminal records. The Cuban police force regularly carry revolvers, tear gas and electric truncheons. The crime rate itself is very low, so the equipment of the police and the jail population would seem to indicate a state that is repressive in it's dealings with the people.

Batista
To understand how Cuba functions now, why it developed the way it did and why socialism was never on Castro's menu, we must look at the origins and path of the revolution. Fulgencio Batista y Zaldivar had taken control of Cuba in a military coup called the 'sergeants revolt' on September 4th 1933. He promoted himself to the position of Commander in Chief of the armed forces and comfortably ruled through a host of puppet presidents.

Batista contested and lost the presidency 1944, after which he exited to Florida with millions from the small country's coffers. He returned to power in a coup d'état in 1952, three months prior to the presidential elections.

An interesting point to note is the cordial relationship between Batista and the Cuban Communist Party. They were allowed to function openly and supported Batista's candidates in the 1940 elections. As their reward they got control of the state controlled trade union, the Cuban Confederation of Labour (CTC-Confederacion de Trabajadores de Cuba). The First Secretary General was Lazaro Pena, a post he would later hold under Fidel Castro.

The 26th of July Movement [Fidel Castro and [URL=http://libcom.org/history/guevara-ernesto-che-1928-1967] Che Guevara's [/URL] guerrilla organisation] was born out of an attack on the Moncada military barracks in 1953. The attack, though brave, was bungled and failed. The movement really grew during the subsequent trial where Castro successfully gave the impression of the July Movement as being nationalists who would no longer be restrained.

The political aspirations of the movement extended no further than "total and definitive social justice" and "absolute and reverent respect" for the 1940 constitution. Incidentally the attack on the barracks was condemned by the Cuban Communist Party who defined their role as being to "unmask the putschists and adventurous activists as being against the interests of the people". Daily Worker (Paper of the U.S. Communist Party), August 10th 1953

Sierra Maestra years
The July 26th Movement grew in prestige from the trial of the Moncada attackers. Two years later, after the movement had been in exile in Mexico where Castro met the young Che Guevara, they returned on the "Granma" pleasure cruiser in December 1956. The 80 strong insurrection failed in the Oriente region and they retreated to the Sierra Maestra mountains. It is here according to the folklore historians, whom Castro had later appointed, that the discussions of Marx and Lenin took place into the long hours amongst the revolutionaries around the camp fires.

Castro had been a follower of the Partido Ortodoxo which was a nationalist organisation who put their faith in the 1940 constitution. Now, according to re-written history he became a Marxist-Leninist. Che Guevara's story of this time is more enlightening, they "...had neither ideological awareness nor 'esprit de corp'.... ". Castro's Revolution (New York 1964) p.35. Castro goes on to contradict this history of his own making by saying that "the proclamation of socialism during the period of instructional struggle would not have been understood". Granma (Cuban paper) 28th December 1975.

In 1958, a year prior to the revolution, Castro said "true, the extension of government ownership to certain power companies - US owned - was a point of our earliest programmes; but we have currently suspended all planning on this matter."Cuba, an American Tragedy (R. Sheer & M. Zeitlin) Penguin 1964. p. 61 What the 26th July Movement was seeking was "industrialisation at the fastest possible rate. For this purpose, foreign investment will always be welcome and secure here." Cuba, an American Tragedy (R. Sheer & M. Zeitlin) Penguin 1964. p. 63.

The Revolution
By 1958 the Batista troops had retreated to their barracks. The rebels stepped up their attacks. There was broad popular support for the 26th July Movement, and mass strikes and demonstrations followed. (Che Guevara said that the Batista regime collapsed under the weight of it's own corruption.) Many who weren't in the July movement lost their lives, yet they seem to be forgotten in the process of deification which has taken place around Castro.

There was the raid on the Mantanzans garrison in which all the young members of the radical nationalist Autentico Party lost their lives in 1956. Then there was the attempted assassination of Batista in 1957 by the Revolutionary Student Directorate. All of them were massacred.

It is important to remember that the Cuban revolution was the work of a few armed insurgents. It was the work of a few hundred armed guerrillas in the Sierra Maestra mountains and various other rebels. The working class supported the rebels but it was a passive support that did not extend beyond strikes and demonstrations when the dictatorship was close to crumbling. "The emancipation of the working class is the task of the workers" and unfortunately in Cuba true emancipation was not to follow the revolution.

Yesterday's Nationalism - Today's Socialism
Following the toppling of Batista the first cabinet contained a judge, a lawyer, the head of the Havana Bar Association, a member of the Orthodox Party, and the ex-president of the national bank. (Within 14 months all of these disappeared to the USA and became 'contras'.) The 1940 constitution was reinstalled. The first office set up was the National Tourist Board. All this would not seem to indicate a very socialist revolution had taken place.

In April 1959 Castro went to America to visit and talk with vice president Richard Nixon about securing a development loan. Castro made assurances to the White House about protection of American interests but he stood firm on Cuban sovereignty. However, even the demands for very limited economic control were against US interests and therefore Cuba was portrayed as part of the "world communist conspiracy". The imperialist USA set out to smash small independent Cuba.

The Americans had wanted Batista to capitulate to a caretaker government before Castro could come to power. They were never really prepared to do business with the man. The further down a road one travels the less options one is faced with. Castro had reached a 'T' junction. The first road would have been to concede sovereignty to the Americans and keep a section of the old ruling class on his side. The second road was to industrialise the country, using the confiscated wealth of the ruling class.

Cuba was going "Socialista". In October 1959 Che Guevara becomes head of the National Bank. In February 1960 a new agreement is reached to supply sugar to the USSR. In July of the same year Castro nationalises American owned sugar companies and oil refineries. By the end of the year few foreign industries are not nationalised. Castro had made a decision, America had refused to budge an inch and now it was time to side with the other major power. So began the myth of the July Movement always being Marxist. As the plaque reads at Havana's main cemetery "What the imperialists cannot forgive is us having made a socialist revolution under the very noses of the United States."

Cuba : Castro's Playground
It comes as no surprise to learn that Castro chose to call himself a Marxist-Leninist. "I am a Marxist-Leninist and will remain one until the last day of my life" said Castro in 1961. This is a good political philosophy to adhere to if one intends to remain in power for 30 years and never release the reins of control to the working class.

How does Cuba function? On this Caribbean island you have a ruling class composed of the bureaucracy which came from the July 26th Movement. You have the remnants of the Stalinist Partido Socialista (Cuban Communist Party) who saw the Revolution and the nationalisation that followed as a means to strengthen their positions.

To the Cuban Communists their own survival is paramount, principles were abandoned as unhealthy a long time ago. Then you have the professionals such as academics, scientists and management. They have fewer privileges than their counterparts in the 'West' but are rewarded with praise and prizes as long as they remain uncritical. The ruling class is bonded together by a fear of the working class.

Castro is the cement which holds Cuban society together. As Che Guevara wrote "It is true that the mass follows it's leaders, especially Fidel Castro, without hesitation but the degree to which he has earned such confidence is due precisely to the consummate interpretation of the peoples' desires and aspirations." Venceremos, the speeches and writings of Che Guevara, London 1968 p.388.
This is the cult of Castro's personality which cannot be underestimated, he is the consummate master of telling the people what they wish to hear. As rumblings of discontent come from the working class about the bureaucrats, they still look to the father figure of Fidel to deal with the nasty bureaucrats.

The 'internationalist' policy of armed support for nationalist regimes in Africa and the scientific work all gives credence to the popular story of one little island standing strong against the wicked winds of imperialism. The economy of Cuba has been distorted for years so that it is like looking at something at the bottom of a pond. The funds from Russia are drying up. The Cuban cigars are partly filled from Bulgarian tobacco. There is little to be said when you find out that there have been sugar shortages in a country where about 50% of the economy is based on this crop.

The embargo is blamed for everything covering vast areas of inefficiency. Trading has been going on with the USA for years through a series of front companies. When the squeeze had to be put on in the 1980's Castro, "El Lider Maximo", came up with the process of 'rectification'. This ingenious plan involved going back to the past and digging up the immortal legend of Che Guevara and returning to a 'high moral socialism'.

Castro came up with such perils of wisdom as "Perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of rectification has been to persuade the workers to give up the excessively high wages stemming from implementation of outdated norms, or erroneous criteria". When one distils the true meaning from such pedantic language, we get the old maxim, work harder and ask for less. The words of a leader who is prepared to squeeze the working class more rather than attack the inequalities of the society which he helped create.

What Now?
The Cuban regime is called many things as people try and categorise it, and excuse it for its policies and glaring faults. The working class did not create the revolution and they have been crippled since Castro and his cohorts installed a new bureaucracy. The aspirations of the workers are low and so is their confidence. However, as you can ascertain from the steps preceding and following the revolution Castro did not set out to even create 'socialism on one island'.

Recognising that Cuba is not 'socialist' does not mean, however, that anarchists and socialists ignore the U.S. blockade of the island. This attempt to starve the island of even medical supplies is yet one more attack on the working class. The Washington government are happy to squeeze the ordinary people of Cuba in the hope that the resultant discontent will lead to Castro's overthrow.

The American ruling class hate his regime, not because it is some sort of 'socialist' paradise but because its very existence challenges Washington's political monopoly in Central and South America. Their hope is to replace Castro with a government obedient to their wishes, like those of Guatemala or El Salvador.

The revolution was nationalist inspired and Castro adopted the political ideology of Leninism to suit his needs after his courtship of American investment had failed. The working class in Cuba need to unite and fight the ruling class who reap the rewards from their island. Those who see something inspirational in the way Cuba functions today are those blinkered to the possibility of the only true socialist society, one where freedom and equality are central.

Note Pop per la Letteratura: Beppe Sebaste

Per la seconda puntata di questa mia nuova rubrica ho chiesto a Beppe Sebaste di pubblicare un capitolo – una traccia? – del suo ultimo libro Oggetti smarriti e altre apparizioni (Laterza Contromano, 2009) , ottimamente recensito qui su NI da Chiara Valerio. E lui ha accettato. effeffe

“Come se venissimo scacciati nei boschi” *
di
Beppe Sebaste

Vorrei cominciare da una passeggiata.
Domenica 15 giugno sono uscito di casa dopo mezzogiorno. L’idea era di sedermi a leggere da qualche parte, e magari mangiare qualcosa. Sulla strada ho comprato il Corriere della Sera, avevo con me un quaderno e il libro di appunti di Walter Benjamin su Parigi. Devo fare in questi giorni un programma di ricerca per sollecitare un nuovo credito in forma di borsa di studio, consacrato come quello precedente alla letteratura intima ed epistolare, in particolare di alcuni autori romantici. Ho pensato che leggere gli appunti di Benjamin sulla flânerie mi avrebbe dato delle idee: anche la lettera è un vagabondaggio.
Ho scartato l’Île Rousseau, dove ho spesso studiato, perché il bar è troppo caro e di domenica troppo affollato. Ho pensato alla vieille ville, col sole e gli alberi. Del Café Papon, nella terrazza che si affaccia sul parco dell’università, ho il ricordo di un buon posto dove leggere il giornale.

Ma hanno cambiato l’arredo, e quando arrivo trovo dei tavoli grandi e inospitali, buoni per mangiare la pizza in comitiva (l’accento dominante tra i clienti è americano). Giro intorno al bar indeciso, quando accanto a un albero scorgo un piccione morto, forse decapitato, con del sangue raggrumato intorno. Mi esce una breve esclamazione di disgusto, più che altro rivolta all’inconsapevole indifferenza dei clienti sudati che mangiano lì vicino, e del personale di servizio. Alla fine scelgo di sedermi a un tavolo vicino all’entrata del ristorante, all’ombra e lontano dal piccione. Appena mi siedo faccio uno starnuto, mi guardo intorno per comandare qualcosa e sul muro di fianco, a un palmo dalla mia testa, vedo un buco tra i mattoni in cui galleggiano su delle ragnatele, in un disordine amorfo, vari detriti, tra cui una chewingum masticata. Questa visione mi fa più schifo della precedente, perché non è possibile alcuna redenzione, e brontolando mi alzo seguito dallo sguardo di una coppia. Inizio così una peregrinazione sotto il sole, il libro voluminoso di Benjamin in mano, da un bistrot all’altro, ogni volta respinto da una minaccia diversa. L’ultimo posto puzzava di fonduta al formaggio.
Eppure, penso, l’aria è bella e pulita, il cielo è azzurro e bianco, c’è il sole e ho voglia di sedermi a leggere. Mi fermo sulla Terrazza Agrippa d’Aubigné, dopo aver percorso la rue Calvin e costeggiato la cattedrale. Da una fenditura tra gli edifici guardo il lago, il getto d’acqua bianca e spumeggiante che spunta sopra i tetti, le onde e le barche a vela. Le case intorno sono sobrie e color crema, dalle finestre intravvedo qualche interno e mi viene voglia di trovarmi a Parigi, così, per vedere delle case. Del lago, in fondo, non mi importa più di tanto. Così mi accorgo, accendendomi una sigaretta, di non avere nessuna premura, e appoggiandomi al muretto decido di sfogliare il mio giornale. E’ morto Borges. Allora vado a pagina tre, che è tutta consacrata a questo evento. Il primo articolo che appare è di Claudio Magris, “La letteratura non salva la vita”.

Spesso mi sono riferito a dei libri. Le letture fanno parte della mia sfera di esperienza a pari titolo (forse addirittura a maggior titolo, mi rimproverava un’amica) di altri miei atti o stati del mondo. Non solo le letture: voglio dire i libri, anche quelli non letti. Di conseguenza anche i loro autori. Sono sempre stato piuttosto sicuro nel riferire frasi tratte da libri, enunciazioni che potessero sostenere le mie idee (dunque mi capitava di avere delle idee da sostenere). Ad esempio citavo Gilles Deleuze, più spesso senza nominarlo: letteratura minore, letteratura di idee, movimenti, macchine astratte, esilio, stare sempre nel mezzo come l’erba, visagéité (voltità), muro bianco e buchi neri, l’ape e l’orchidea, essere stranieri nella propria lingua (cercare di esserlo), linee di fuga, concatenamenti, divenire sempre, non diventare mai, metamorfosi vs metafora, ecc. Naturalmente altri concetti e parole chiave si sono aggiunte alla lista: opacità (contro la trasparenza), racconto breve, soggettività, narrare vs romanzo, diluendosi in un territorio così vasto che la libertà mi è sembrata alla fine totale, e ogni morale provvisoria, un po’ come quella frase di Giorgio Manganelli che un mio amico ama citare, “le vie della salvezza letteraria sono infinite”; e che mi potrebbe anche far comodo, se non fosse che, della salvezza letteraria, non mi importa assolutamente nulla.

La provvisorietà della morale letteraria (che non comporta la rinuncia a un’etica) ha preso per me questa forma, di volere situare quello che scrivo in un luogo o in direzione di un luogo. Non mi interessano soltanto le coordinate, per così dire, geopoetiche di quello che scrivo o che leggo, ma vorrei riportare nella scrittura l’effettualità e la coscienza aurorale che si trovano nell’esperienza quotidiana e nell’esperienza dello spazio. Per questo forse faccio fatica, oggi, a dire la mia sul narrare, o sul racconto, come se fosse possibile enunciare qualcosa che non sia in sé narrazione, come se si potesse dare una riflessione che già non si racconti, e viceversa.
In questo mio desiderio di reportage (si tratta in fondo di questo) c’è un tema che mi sta particolarmente a cuore. Parlo dell’abitare. Sono stupito dell’abitabilità. Più ancora del mistero della luce, il fatto di abitare da qualche parte, che la gente abiti qui o là e che spesso affronti il problema della casa con quieta sicumera, mi turba e mi affascina: sia che si tratti degli invisibili abitatori di quelle ville allineate sul lago, tra Ginevra e Losanna, immersi nella nebbia sei mesi all’anno, sia dei pescatori di tonno dell’isola di Lampedusa. Forse perché mi sembra questa la finzione più grande, la più misteriosa – abitare una casa, un luogo, un genere, una forma, avere delle abitudini, di fronte a cui le mie reazioni sono mutevoli e contraddittorie: nostalgia, identificazione, desiderio di essere come gli altri; oppure repulsione, scetticismo, cercare una via d’uscita o di fuga.

Alla ricerca di un gesto, di una consuetudine, ho appreso nel cuore della città vecchia di Ginevra della morte dello scrittore Jorge Luis Borges. “Devono essere tutti fioriti gli alberi del cortile del Liceo Calvino, a Ginevra, adesso che Borges è morto, a due passi dalla scuola dove andò da ragazzo”, intonava un corsivo del Corriere. Allora mi volto, è vero, sono tutti fioriti da un pezzo. Dopo mi sono sentito più calmo. Ho letto sulla flânerie in un baretto qualsiasi, poi ho scritto sul quaderno una traccia di questo mio intervento a partire da quella “coincidenza”: scrivere sui luoghi (la scrittura deve dare delle forme per vedere il mondo; uno di quelli che oggi mi piacciono di più è James Ballard); passeggiata nella vieille ville (incidenti, piccione morto, odore di fonduta e morte di Borges – uno scrittore che ho amato – proprio nei luoghi in cui mi trovo in questo momento); questo apologo non ha una morale, e forse non è una storia, difficile è estrapolarne i nessi, ma non è la mia preoccupazione; infine, che di Borges mi piace soprattutto il gusto per gli avvenimenti semplici, effettuali, eventuali, e insieme il fatto che la sua opera non è che una serie di frammenti, di testi molto brevi e sparsi, come ha detto lui stesso.
Borges ha soprattutto insegnato che non c’è differenza tra pensare e raccontare, e ha introdotto una possibilità nuova, anche se evidente: fare il riassunto di una narrazione più lunga, di quel romanzo che si è troppo stanchi, o pigri, o scettici, per scriverlo e abitarlo.

Esiste una bellissima storia, raccontata dai chassidìm, che mi viene ora in mente, e che mi sembra molto adatta a rilanciare un’idea etica del raccontare, oltre che a chiudere questo testo. La cito a memoria come l’ho letta tempo fa in un libro sulla mistica ebraica.
C’era una volta una generazione di chassidìm che, quando dovevano assolvere un compito difficile, o prendere una decisione importante, andavano in un luogo nei boschi, accendevano il fuoco e dicevano delle preghiere, assorti nella meditazione. Un chassidìm della generazione successiva, di fronte alle stesse incombenze, andava nello stesso posto nel bosco e diceva: “Non possiamo più accendere il fuoco, ma possiamo dire le preghiere”, e questo era sufficiente. Ancora una generazione dopo, un altro chassidìm che doveva assolvere lo stesso compito, andava nel posto e diceva: “Non possiamo più accendere il fuoco, e non conosciamo più le segrete preghiere, ma conosciamo il luogo dove tutto questo accadeva”, e infatti bastava. Finché, in un’altra successiva generazione, dovendo affrontare lo stesso compito, il chassidìm restava seduto nel proprio castello, e diceva: “Non possiamo più fare il fuoco, non possiamo dire le preghiere, e non conosciamo più il posto nel bosco, ma di tutto questo possiamo raccontare la storia”. E infatti bastò, il suo racconto ebbe la stessa efficacia delle altre azioni.

Per concludere devo aggiungere una telefonata.
La sera di domenica 15 giugno mi ha telefonato un amico da Parma. E’ un bravo poeta, in questo periodo non compra i giornali, sta molto in casa e sta ultimando una raccolta di poesie. Mi ha letto qualche suo verso, poi mi ha annunciato che, di lì a poco, gli avrebbero tagliato il telefono. Poteva quindi indugiare più a lungo del solito. Nel corso della conversazione mi ha letto una frase di Kafka tratta da una sua lettera, non so quanto nota. Non so neanche se essa faccia parte delle coincidenze, o anche solo della storia, né se sia possibile situarla in un tempo. Ho però trovato importante trascriverla. Eccola:
“Noi abbiamo bisogno di libri che agiscano su di noi come una disgrazia che ci colpisce duramente, come la morte di qualcuno che amavamo più di noi stessi, come se venissimo scacciati nei boschi, via da tutti gli uomini. Come la notizia di un suicidio, un libro deve essere l’ascia per il mare di ghiaccio dentro di noi”.

About

LEEDS SURREALIST GROUP

The past two decades has seen something of a resurgence of organised surrealist activity in Britain. In March 1994, the Leeds Surrealist Group was formed by Kenneth Cox, Bill Howe and Sarah Metcalf, stimulated by exchanges with surrealist groups and individuals with whom we had come into contact. Ours was perhaps the first significant attempt at establishing a collective surrealist presence in Britain since the group around the magazine Melmoth, which broke up in 1981. The Leeds Group was formed, or rather came into realisation, after an invitation from the Stockholm Surrealist Group to participate in their game, The New Man, which involved the exploration of urban spaces in search of poetic evidence of utopian vision. Games of dérive (chance meanderings through our city streets) and explorations of place have continued to be a dominant feature of the activities of the Leeds Surrealist Group, with the Game of Slight Disturbances (1996), Explorations of Absence (2000-01) and Two Heads (2005) being pivotal to our development, advancing new researches into surrealist objects and their relation to place, and not least to the inter-subjectivity of the players involved. Our researches into place are currently being extended into sound, using field recordings that will be investigated through their synaesthesic possibilities. Many of the group’s early games and experiments were recorded in the ten issues of Black Lamplight (1995-98), an internal quarterly journal distributed solely within the international surrealist movement, as well as in albums dedicated to some of our more-extensive games.

Our first foray into the public sphere came in the autumn of 1994, when we programmed a major season of films, Surrealists Go To The Cinema, at the National Museum of Photography, Film & Television, in the nearby city of Bradford. We participated as a group in the exhibition, Curiouser & Curiouser: les surréalistes et leurs amis en Grand-Bretagne depuis 1967, held in the Hourglass Gallery in Paris during April 1995, under the direction of Peter Wood, an event significant to the development of surrealism in Britain over the past decade. This exhibition drew together a number of individual surrealists, strengthening the ties between us, and leading to further exchanges. Since then, collective games amongst many of the exhibition’s participants have defied geographical distance and an identifiable surrealist presence has evolved. We cannot, of course, speak about the present and future of surrealism in Britain without expressing our indebtedness to those surrealist comrades who sadly are no longer with us and who, through their support and friendship, have had an enormous influence upon us, notably, Anthony Earnshaw, Conroy Maddox, Philip West and Peter Wood.

In 2004 we welcomed the formation of the London Surrealist Group, who announced their presence through their inaugural declaration, Collective Adventure, and who, in January 2005, published the first issue of their magazine, Arcturus.

More recently, in September 2005, we held an important exhibition, Profane Revelation: the Surrealist Movement in Britain, at the Granell Foundation in Santiago de Compostela, with over 80 works by twenty-three surrealists, including that of seven members of the Leeds Group. Profane Revelation, the most high-profile public event that we have organised, was undoubtedly a landmark in the recent trajectory of surrealism in Britain, drawing upon current, rather than ‘historical’ work, all selected from the previous five years of activity. What also characterized our exhibition was that many of the works had resulted from collective visual games, in some cases taking a ‘found’ image which was then interpreted by each of the players.

Internal collective research has always been a strong focus of the Leeds Group’s projects, but we also regard communication and encounters with other surrealists, both in our own country and throughout the world, as of vital importance. From the very beginning, we were warmly welcomed into the international surrealist movement, and have had close collaborations ever since with, in particular, the groups in Paris, Prague, Madrid, Chicago and Stockholm. Our collaborations and individual contributions have appeared in various surrealist journals throughout the world, including: Analogon (Prague), Intervence (Brno), S.U.R.R. (Paris), Salamandra (Madrid), and Stora Saltet (Stockholm).

The Leeds Group’s own external publication, a broadsheet entitled Manticore/Surrealist Communication – containing short articles, reviews, poems, images and examples of games both from the group and fellow collaborators – appeared in 1997 and ended with its eighth and final number in 2006. We now produce a small occasional newsletter, Prehensile Tail, which is distributed freely, the fourth issue having been published in March 2007. In 2007 we also set up our own imprint, Surrealist Editions, with its first title, Down Victory! by Peter Overton, launched at the Hay Festival Fringe on 27th May 2007, at an event, “Surrealism Here & Now”, which incorporated talks, short films, and poetry readings. A second title, The Bridge of Shadows by Stephen Clark and Bill Howe, was launched on 13th October 2007 in The Cross Keys, Leeds. The first issue of our new surrealist magazine, Phosphor, was published in July 2008.

At present, there are currently twelve members of Leeds Surrealist Group. We meet up on a weekly basis for discussions, surrealist games, enquiries, interventions, laughter, etc., and are open to invited guests who are genuinely interested in surrealism as a living movement.

(en) US, SDS*, On 26 Campuses, Students Demonstrate Against Afghanistan Occupation

Date Sat, 10 Oct 2009 20:06:52 +0200

On Wednesday October 7, students on 26 campuses across the United States protested eight
long years of war against and occupation of the people of Afghanistan. Students for a
Democratic Society (SDS), a nation-wide student organization committed to activism for
peace, justice and equality, organized the protest. ---- Hundreds of students marched in
Washington, DC in a Funk the War event organized by DC Students for a Democratic Society.
The demonstrators stormed the lobby of a building that houses Chevron, Shell, Blackwater’s
lobbying group, United Technologies, and Clear Channel, demanding U.S. troops out of
Afghanistan and Iraq. ---- In Gainesville, Florida, 40 people rallied in the Plaza of the
Americas at the University of Florida to protest the war in Afghanistan.

The protesters then marched while chanting “Fund education, not occupation” and “What do
we want? Peace! When do we want it? Now!” The demonstrators held a “die-in” during a class
change to symbolically represent innocents killed in war. Protester Fernando Figueroa
said, “What we have done today doesn’t end here. We will keep building the movement to end
the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan.”

A spirited rally at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee saw fifty students
demonstrate against the war. “We’re participating in this national day of action because
the war in Afghanistan is wrong and we need the troops out now,” said Maral Safavi of
Milwaukee SDS. “This war is only benefiting the rich.”
50 students rallied at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee.

In Asheville, North Carolina students shouted “Money for jobs and education, not for war
and occupation!” across the quad on the University of North Carolina at Asheville. UNCA
Students for a Democratic Society member Angela Denio said, “The people of Afghanistan
have the right to self determination. Eight years of unjust U.S. occupation in Afghanistan
has resulted in hundreds of civilian casualties, and displaced too many families that are
now living in extreme suffering and poverty.”

A Funk the War protest by Rochester SDS that drew dozens into the streets demanding an end
to the occupations and an end to militarizing schools ended violently, when almost 30
police cars interrupted the peaceful protest. Police then began shoving students and
community members, threatening them with batons, and spraying them with pepper spray. The
police arrested 12 protestors, 2 of whom had to go to the hospital for injuries caused by
police brutality. The first person arrested by the police was the only African-American
student in the vicinity, and protestors quickly called the police out on this obvious
racism. This protest was part of a larger campaign by Rochester SDS to end budget cuts and
demilitarize their schools.

University of Minnesota SDS held a protest of 30 students that included a skit to
demonstrate the need for funding to go to education and not the wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Grace Kelley of SDS linked the war to sexism in the United States, saying “It
has been argued by many people, politicians, and even feminists, that the war in
Afghanistan is in fact going to liberate the women of Afghanistan … How can our military
forces help the women in Afghanistan overcome their own cultural oppressions when we can’t
even eliminate sexism within the military itself, with one in three female veterans
reporting sexual assault while in service?”

University of Houston held a teach-in with 70 people in attendance. Afghanistan war
veteran Matt Dobbs spoke about his experiences in two tours of duty in Afghanistan, and
how he has come to oppose the war on a civilian population that is fighting a battle of
self-defense against the U.S. occupation.
70 students attend an antiwar teach-in organized by Houston SDS.

Chicago students joined a mass rally and march of hundreds against the occupation of
Afghanistan. Doug Michel, a member of Chicago SDS, said, “Students from four different
Chicago campuses stood up today to demand an end to the US war in Afghanistan, and we will
keep speaking up until the last U.S. troop is off Afghan soil.”

And at UNC-Chapel Hill, thirty students rallied against the war, while hundreds of
passers-by stopped to listen to the speeches and take antiwar literature. War veterans,
community members, and students spoke out to denounce the occupation of Afghanistan and
demand immediate withdrawal. The demonstration was organized by the local chapter of
Students for a Democratic Society, and supported by many other campus groups.

Across the United States, dozens more campuses took part in the national day of action to
protest the occupation of Afghanistan.

The October 7th protests came on the heels of the largest loss of life for U.S. occupation
forces in a year. On Sunday October 4, anti-occupation fighters in Afghanistan killed nine
U.S. soldiers in a series of attacks. So far, 869 U.S. troops are dead in Afghanistan
since the occupation began in 2001 – with over a quarter of those killed in the past ten
months alone. There are over 4,000 U.S. wounded.

U.S. and NATO occupation forces do not keep track of civilian casualties, but many
estimate that U.S. air strikes and gunfire have killed tens of thousands of Afghanis. Just
last month, U.S. air strikes killed over 90 Afghan civilians in the northern Afghan
village of Omar Kheil. A similar strike in Farah province on May 4 this year killed 147
civilians.

U.S. Out of Afghanistan Now!

Fund Education, Not Occupation!

The SDS Anti-War Working Group exists to help coordinate national SDS anti-war activity.

Working Group’s homepage at http://sdsantiwar.wordpress.com.

FRANCESCO MASTROGIOVANNI sospeso dirigente psichiatria Asl Salerno e altri 6

di Doriana Goracci

Michele Di Genio è indagato con altri sei medici per la morte del maestro elementare nel reparto di psichiatria

L’ULTIMA buona NOTIZIA:
Caso Mastrogiovanni, sospeso dirigente
di psichiatria della Asl di Salerno
Michele Di Genio è indagato con altri sei medici per la morte del maestro elementare nel reparto di psichiatria

http://www.corriere.it/cronache/09_ottobre_10/mastrogi...
Il giallo del maestro «anarchico» morto durante il ricovero coatto (19 agosto 2009)

SALERNO – È stato sospeso dall’incarico il direttore del Dipartimento di Psichiatria della ex Asl Salerno 3, Michele Di Genio. La decisione è stata presa da una commissione d’indagine della stessa Asl di Salerno nominata per indagare sulla morte di Francesco Mastrogiovanni, maestro di scuola elementare di 58 anni deceduto il 4 agosto nel reparto di psichiatria dell’ospedale di Vallo della Lucania. Di Genio, che resta al suo posto di primario del reparto di psichiatria del nosocomio vallese, è indagato dalla Procura di Vallo della Lucania con altri sei medici del reparto dell’ospedale.

LINEE GUIDA – Al centro dell’indagine le cause della morte dell’insegnante, che potrebbe essere deceduto dopo essere rimasto immobilizzato a letto, legato mani e piedi, per quattro giorni. «Tra le motivazioni della sospensione da parte della commissione – ha spiegato Di Genio – vi sarebbe la non vigilanza sull’operato dei medici del reparto e l’assenza di linee guida precise all’interno del Dipartimento. Voglio far presente che le linee guida sono state inviate da me al dottor De Leo, presidente della Commissione d’indagine e direttore del Dipartimento di salute mentale della ex Asl Salerno 2, dunque mio pari grado. A quanto mi risulta, nella relazione della commissione non vi è traccia di esse, nonostante siano state regolarmente formalizzate nel 2006 con apposita delibera».

«MAI CONVOCATO» – «Non sono mai stato presente in reparto nei giorni in cui si sono verificati i fatti – ha proseguito Di Genio – ma, a parte ciò, in questi mesi non ho avuto la possibilità di chiarire le mie controdeduzioni, poiché non sono mai stato convocato dalla commissione». «Le aberrazioni e le stravaganti decisioni della commissione d’indagine verranno impugnate nelle sedi idonee – ha aggiunto Antonio Fasolino, legale di Di Genio -. Certo è quantomeno bizzarro che esse giungano prima di qualunque pronunciamento da parte dell’autorità giudiziaria, che tra l’altro non ha preso alcun provvedimento nei confronti del mio assistito».

An Evening with Sherman Alexie
TONIGHT! at the Women's Building, Friday, October 9, 2009, 7:00 P.M.
Admission $8.00 at the door. No one turned away due to lack of funds.

Join National Book Award winner and best-selling author Sherman Alexie for an evening of readings. He returns to the bay Area with his signature mix of biting wit and poignant insight. With his new book, Sherman Alexie delivers a heartbreaking and hilarious collection of stories that explore the precarious balance between self-preservation and external responsibility in art, family, and the world at large. With unparalleled insight into the minds of artists, laborers, fathers, husbands, and sons, Alexie populates his stories with ordinary men on the brink of exceptional change. In a bicoastal journey through the consequences of both simple and monumental life choices, Alexie introduces us to these personal worlds as they transform beyond return. War Dances takes us to the heart of what it means to be human. The new beginnings, successes, mistakes, and regrets that make up our daily lives are laid bare in this wide-ranging and provocative new work that is Alexie at the height of his powers.
