Culture is useless (to Spezia)
deal with culture today is very expensive and pays little or nothing. As a farmer who worked for years to plow the land for years and never sow a crop. In the city entered a long time in this crisis even dialectical relationship in past decades vitally polemic (we still remember a lively clash "generational" between Gianluca Lerici "Bad Trip" and Sergio Fregoso the Workshop of Jacopo Benassi). No more debate aesthetic, cultural, ethical and political. The model beat those of the cultural entrepreneur acting only taking to heart the growth of the community. This has gradually stifled the cultural background born and raised in an environment fostered by the freedom, curiosity, the exchange also controversial, since direct contact with social reality, the tensions and contradictions of the real city. Superimposing a network, but certainly more effective sedative, centers of power, large and small, each occupied by a clan and his dynasty, anchored by the claws on their allotments in accordance with a logic of its own enclave concerned only private interest . The value of projects is often an insignificant detail, for the achievement of a successful action and funding result, are much more adhesions and family policies. We hold that responsibility, fairness, self-discipline, ethics (sometimes even enough decency) by those who administer public affairs should run hand in hand with the pursuit of quality and professionalism, transparency and monitoring results. A system that seeks to justify certain mechanisms and support rather than oppose the privileges, is a sick system. Unfortunately, equality of opportunity, has never contemplated and the "who sent you" belongs to the Regulation "Unwritten" is "what moves everything to the universe, penetrates and glows "he said Dante.
S and this is the logic that manages to finally shut down the adventurous spirit of those suffering from relapsed disease research, those observers, scholars, researchers, creators of an alternative idea of \u200b\u200bculture in constant negotiation of space, funds and small areas of media, we understand how there can even listen to the angry complaints to the logic of the divisions of power and funds. There is no longer the ability to be scandalized, the few who do are considered "fanatics pain in the ass," and morality has become an empty word that does not match more effective behavior and reactions. We believe that in politics is necessary to share practical experience from many in the area, from hard work and constructive associations and many volunteers, many honest commitment of local authorities, we believe that culture is a part should continue to monitor and tune in relation to "best practices", possibly coming to an elaboration of alternative models of organization and shared cultural production, and the other side to initiate a process of "moral cleansing" (a term that will make you laugh some and scare others, but we can not to find a better one).
The unhealthy tendency to "big event" hit and run "in a city totally eradicated from the context and the memory of our places, as demonstrated by the summer and as we have some inkling of advances autumn, is reducing the transition to a culture increasingly marginal, rather than as it should be, the answer infungibile on a variety of individual and social needs. No continuity in the proposals, poor promotion, no effective cultural planning, projects rained down from the outside often low profile without any participation of the community, no production started from the memory of the place, its genius loci, the real local needs minimal attention to linguaggi giovanili, nulla verso la formazione sui nuovi linguaggi della contemporaneità tecnologica.
La sensazione che si ha è che a fronte di questo sconfortante quadro, domini una generale stanchezza, perdita di entusiasmo, demotivazione a confrontarsi e a progettare, sfiducia nella possibilità di un cambiamento; molti operatori reagiscono emigrando in cerca di riconoscimento e stima, alcuni vivono nella diffidenza che qualcuno li sostituisca o nell’incubo che i fondi siano “ulteriormente” tagliati, molti temono a criticare lo status quo politico, altri sono esasperati dalle infinite anticamere che devono subire per avere udienza dall’assessore di turno anche dopo anni di valida activities and thus the resistance to the systematic elimination of the practice of silent and cultural realities of its membership and civic debate tends to fade more and more. The marsh is now too large and branched, to stay out would mean that to be represented, stay inside is to suffer constant humiliation and disappointment, however corrupt, obscuring his identity intellectual and ethical .
to understand if there really exists the possibility of an alternative cultural model. How do in this current climate unhealthy, to reaffirm the right of existence of small groups, those groups who work not protected by any party how to suggest a truly participatory management culture in place of the oligarchy? P u maybe be worth pausing to reflect, individually and collectively, to recover the space and time to talk beyond the camps and clans, to reason about the content of cultural work in the current context, reflect on its needs, the role in society as in our community, now has and instead may have, and repurchase.
