Número 11 Revista Literaria Katharsis 01/01/2012 Cuestiones de estética general por el Dr. Norbert-Bertrand Barbe 2 PRESENTACIÓN DE LOS TEXTOS Los textos que siguen forman un conjunto coherente de preocupaciones acerca de las cuestiones de estética, es decir, en el sentido en que, conforme la tradición, la entendremos: tratando del arte y de sus percepción, comprensión y análisis. I HATE NIGGERS Después de escribir aquello, cómo podremos afirmar enseguida: “Me gustan los negros”, o, peor, para conserver la formula original: “Me gustan los zambos”. Igual pregunta si remplazemos “niggers” por “mujer” o “jaña”, etc. Este tipo de contradicción del material visual, de su sentido, visto desde los límites de su expresión, es lo que hemos, por ejemplo, querido presentar en nuestro curso de estética dado en la jesuita Universidad Centroamericana UCA de Managua (2007-2011), cuando presentamos en una misma diapositiva una rosa al lado de una víctima de quemaduras graves en su cama de hospital, o niños somalíes moriéndose de hambre al lado de obesos niños estadunidenses en una McDonald. Se nos podrá reprochar la violencia del proceder, pero ello nos permitió abordar el tema de la obligada falsificación visual de las representaciones, hasta en las fotografías periodísticas. De hecho, ya en los años déjà 1960, Jean-Luc Godard advertía repetidamente al público contra el hecho de que la imagen periodística implica una serie de selecciones: tomas de ángulos, luminosidad, enfoque de cámara, recortes posteriores al reportaje.

Mientras la palabra "ética" designa en griego, al igual que "étnico", el Otro, la palabra "estética" ("aisthesis") significa: "estudio de las sensaciones". Por lo cual podemos entender cómo y porque la ética tiene estrecha relación con la estética. El arte es forma de relacionarse con el Otro, entregándole testimonio y abriendo diálogo, intercambio, con el que recibe la obra, receptor quien, a través de la experiencia estética, acepta y contrata sentimientos para hacia dicha obra. Ya sabemos muy bien cuan importante es para la psicología la creación artística para ayudar a las personas sufriendo de trastornos y perturbaciones debido a la vida, o a su vida. El hacer arte permite a la vez al paciente abrirse a sí mismo, hacer, sin querer queriendo, según la frase consagrada, trabajo de introspección, y a la vez, por el mismo proceso de expresión que ello implica, volver hacia los demás, haciéndoles, a su vez, testigos y participes de la obra. Podemos entonces afirmar que la obra de arte tiene un carácter fundamentalmente apaciguador, reflexivo pero también de entrega. Como decía Philippe Léotard en una de sus primeras canciones, uno nunca pensaría escribir si fuera solo en la tierra. La propuesta de la obra de arte es siempre salir de sí, compartir. A nivel social, el papel del arte no es menos importante: es reflexionar y racionalizar los hechos y los tiempos, no sólo como planteaba Francastel en su libro fundador: Art et sociologie (1948), el arte es el material más abundante, y sin embargo todavía menos utilizado, para entender el pensamiento - lo que confirma su uso en psicología clínica -, es también un grito estético, un planteamiento ante los fenómenos, una trinchera, pero no en contra del Otro, sino en pro de un diálogo, y por ende, a como, precisamente, ahí también se utiliza a nivel psicológico, de la resolución de los conflictos. Cuestiones de estética general por el Dr. Norbert-Bertrand Barbe 5 Estilo y símbolo Procedamos de forma lógica y pegagógica. Asumamos que aceptamos el planteamiento de Umberto Eco, de que la obra es, básicamente, involutaria. Ojo: la literatura también contiene, a nivel del desarrollo lingüístico del texto en sí (es decir, del proceso de formulación), una gran parte de ingenuidad. El escritor formula sus frases según la manera en que se ha desarrollado su propio habla, por educación, situaciones individuales (ser extranjero, etc.). Raros son los contra-ejemplos: los parnasianos, citamos a Nodier o Théophile Gautier, en particular con su Le Capitaine Fracasse (1863), quienes cincelaron la rima o la frase con inmenso cuidado. A diferencia por ejemplo de los surrealistas, en la obra de quienes, por muy ingeniosa que sea la aliteración o la asociación de palabras, éstas son el producto del azar y el subconsciente, mientras en Nodier o Gautier se trata de un preciso y, volvemos a decir, cuidadoso trabajo sobre la lengua y la búsqueda idiomática. Asumiendo, entonces, con Eco, que la obra tiene cierto grado de ingenuidad en su expresión (forma, asociación de colores, etc.), lo que seguramente será más cierto en cuanto al arte contemporáneo (ya no basado ni en la técnica ni en los códigos) que en el arte anterior (en particular moderno, véase el carácter marcadamente regulado del significado y los códigos de representación, en concreto mediante los libros de emblemas), y que, por ende, el artista no es totalmente dueño del significado implicado en su obra. Lo que, dicho de paso, contradice la molestia que se tomó el mismo Eco en aclarar sus intenciones en El nombre de la Rosa (1980) con su Apostilla (1983) en respuesta a los lectores. Ahora bien, ¿no deberíamos reconocer que la publicidad, y, por consiguiente, toda forma de propaganda, tiene un nivel de ingenuidad muy bajo, y, al contrario, se enfoca conscientemente a cristalizar la opinión, para reutilizar los términos del mismo Edward Bernays? Asimismo, nos parece obvio que, tanto la Victoria alada de Rolls Royce, como el jaguar del carro homónimo, evocan - o ilustran -, por debajo de la referencia a estas imágenes, valores de velocidad, fuerza, potencia y poder, y finalmente de belleza y elegancia. Por ende, a nuestro entender, es equivocada la idea de que los artistas producen inconscientemente. Evidentemente, se tendría que estudiar caso por caso la producción de cada artista. Sin embargo, si podemos aceptar: 1. Que en la vida diaria, cada quien es responsable de sus propios actos y palabras (nos lo dice la misma ley). 2. Que igualmente la publicidad tiene un muy bajo nivel de ingenuidad (forma orientada hacia la búsqueda de una reacción determinada, en general de compra, o de actuación en el caso de las publicidades gubernamentales y de ONG, en el público). 3. Asimismo las películas norteamericanas, modelizadas por género y tipos de personajes, a como también lo era el teatro del s. XVII y la Comedia dell'Arte. 4. Que los escritores (Nodier, Gautier, el mismo Eco) tienen propuestas literarias, ya que sino no tendrían ningún sentido los estudios literarios (del mismo Eco, de nuevo, y los semiólogos y lingüistas en general), y además no se dedicaría nadie, es de sentido común, a escribir grandes novelas sin un proyecto previo. Pensamos en la estructura de los primeros capítulos de Crimen y Castigo (1866) de Dostoievsky, a la disertación crítica del Cándido (1759) de Voltaire, o a los Cuestiones de estética general por el Dr. Norbert-Bertrand Barbe 6 proyectos de descripción social de La comedia humana (1830-1845) de Balzac o los Rougon-Macquart (1871-1893) de Zola. 5. Que el arte clásico, en concreto renacentista y moderno, se guía por compendios

  • Melinda's Star Trek Las Vegas Convention Report / Aug 9-12, 2007
    melinda’s star trek las vegas convention report / aug 9-12, 2007 the las vegas star trek convention was the first large scale convention that i have attended. from what i’ve read, there were close to 4,000 fans in attendance. what a remarkable testament to this beloved franchise. it’s been over 20 years since i went to a convention, so i was more than a little excited for this big trip. wednesday, august 8th my good friend, karen, and i arrived in vegas on wednesday night and pre-registered. thank goodness for pre-registration the night before the convention because the lines the next day to register were ridiculously long! when we first walked through the large convention area, giant star trek banners of the various crews in the star trek series were hanging on the walls. one very large banner had all the guests pictured that would be appearing at the convention. after grabbing a bite to eat, it was on to the “chocolate on the edge of forever” welcoming party where they had all kinds of chocolate goodies. tim russ (tuvok from voyager) was performing with his band as the entertainment. i really had no idea that tim russ was a singer and a guitar player, and i was impressed with his talent. after he ended his set, he stayed and signed copies of his cd that he was selling and graciously posed for pictures with fans for quite some time. it was a very casual setting. while tim russ signed, there was also a karaoke contest going on, and the fans had a lot of fun with that.

The auction kicked off on Oct. 5, with everything from costumes and props to blueprints and furniture on sale from the archives of CBS Paramount Television Studios A model of the Starship Enterprise D was bought by a bidder for $578,000 not including commission, more than 20 times its $25,000 to $35,000 pre-sale estimate. A model of the Starship Enterprise E was bought by an online bidder for $132,000 including commission, more than 10 times its $8,000 to $12,000 pre-sale estimate. Another item, a 30-square-inch (193-square- centimeter) Borg cube model used in "Star Trek: First Contact," sold for $96,000 to a telephone bidder. Its estimated value was between $1,000 and $1,500. "The energy was definitely beyond what I expected," said Cathy Elkies, Christie's director of special collections. With 1,000 lots of CBS Paramount Television material on offer over three days, Christie's, better known for Picassos and Monets than Starfleet banners and costumes, had anticipated a total of up to $2 million, the actual total was $7.1 million. Other Items sold were, Captain Jean-Luc Picard's chair sold for more than $62,000, while a 42- inch (107-cm) bazooka-style prop rifle used by Michael Dorn as Worf in "Star Trek: Insurrection" fetched $19,200 after being estimated at between $600 and $800.

THE GENE RODDENBERRY LEGACY It’s no surprise to the millions of Star Trek fans across the globe that the inspirational and positive message of hope for the social condition of humanity in the future is as relevant today (if not more so) as when it was first presented in The Original Series. Our society owes a huge debt of gratitude to the Great Bird of the Galaxy, Gene Roddenberry. We’re not sure even Gene could have foreseen the profound impact his hope and vision would have on untold generations to come. In a world increasingly fractured by political, economic, ethnic and social divisions, the hope for a united and benevolent society is the beautiful force that binds and drives all good people across the globe. What Star Trek did, by allegory and metaphor, was expose the hatreds, divisiveness, hypocrisies and weaknesses that have plagued civilized peoples (and aliens) for untold millennia. Yet those failings of human nature can be overcome, and peace and unity can prevail. That will be our future, one we can be grateful to give to our heirs. This is Gene Roddenberry’s vision, and his legacy. So when we see thousands of fans gathered together to celebrate this gift that the Great Bird bequeathed to us, we smile with no small degree of grateful admiration for the Star Trek fan community. In a world rushing past us at warp speed, where society has increasingly grown fractional and virtual, where massive digital social networks have risen on the ashes of the old media paradigms, we are confident that the original social network: the gathering together of the tribes, the fan “convention,” retains a vibrant relevance ever more important today in this ever more isolating world.
