BELA BADERNA – UMA ANÁLISE APÓCRIFA DA OBRA

Beautiful Trouble – tools for revolution”, is a book, whose original title is Beautiful Trouble: A Toolbox For Revolution (2012), was translated and published by Ideal Edições (2013). An abridged version of the work was coedited by School of Activism, fragmented and made available to the public on its website. At the beginning of 2022, the title in Portuguese is sold out for purchase and, in this sense, we removed the disassembled version of the book from the School of Activism website, we repackaged it and, to it, we added another Chapter, there entitled “Beautiful Subverted Presentation”. And it is this new Chapter, which has become the present analysis, slightly adapted to the textual typology required here in this Journal. Through an applied review of expressions and sociocultural concepts that transit in social networks and in the journalistic media, in their various platforms, we bring to the reader's attention a series of information that, in an effervescent political-electoral context, such as what we will have in 2022, makes reading this analysis article as necessary as reading the pages of Beautiful Trouble per se.

This article reviews a collection of scholarly works edited by Michael Fürst, Florian Krautkrämer, and Serjoscha Wiemer “The Undead - Zombie Film Theory” (original title “Untot – Zombie Film Theorie”), Munich, Belleville Publishers, 2010, 301 pages, ISBN 978-3-933510-55-6. The reviewer lists the main ideas discussed by the researchers who have contributed to the monograph, briefly summarizes the content and evaluates the scientific significance of the analyzed edition. Three representative essays of the monograph (by W. Fuhrmann, A. Grilli and M. Benecke) receive a closer inspection, as they demonstrate the scope of ideas and methodological approach characteristic of the volume.

The Criminals in Vilnius

On 29 April 1930, the premiere of Ferdinand Bruckner’s The Criminals (original title Die Verbrecher) directed by Aleksander Zelwerowicz took place at the Teatr Wielki na Pohulance in Vilnius. After two performances, the play was cancelled by the mayor of Vilnius. The authorities of the city were outraged by the ‘drastic amoral scenes (homosexual love, abortion)’. Zelwerowicz submitted his resignation, which he withdrew a few days later. A performance combined with a debate on the drama was organised. One of the Literary Wednesdays was also devoted to a discussion about The Criminals. The Słowo daily published an open letter to the director Zelwerowicz ‘supporting his repertoire policy’. Eventually, The Criminals was cancelled. Based on the unique documents I have found, publications in the press, photographs, and reminiscences of the participants, I will try to reconstruct these events and, above all, to describe and reinterpret the performance that was to ‘introduce the cultural Vilnius to the truly modern and European track’.

Vladimir Nabokov’s Speak, Memory (1951)

Chapter 8 explores in detail the rich nostalgia of Vladimir Nabokov who was born into a privileged family in tsarist St Petersburg and spent his entire adult life in exile—in England, Europe, the United States, and finally in Switzerland. His need to recall patches of the past, and to reclaim his lost childhood, found expression in the autobiographical essays collected in Speak, Memory, the original title of which was to have been Speak, Mnemosyne (calling to mind the opening words of the Odyssey, ‘Tell me, Muse’). As the chapter reveals, it is the very condition of exile that provides Nabokov with an identity and in which, as an artist, he revels and luxuriates. For him nostalgia is a higher form of consciousness and nostalgic writing an act of ecstatic devotion.

Demanding the Impossible: the Precariat, Social Outrage and Anti-austerity Movements

The article analyses major legacies of anti-austerity movements since 2011: Indignados/as and Occupy Wall Street (known also as the movements of the precariat). Based on the author’s research developed in her book: The precariat and the process of precarisation of labour - new directions of global socio-economic changes (original title: Prekariat i proces prekaryzacji pracy – nowe kierunki zmian społeczno ekonomicznych w świecie), the article summarises the most significant outcomes of these movements’ activities and demands, in four primary dimensions: identity, social awareness, organisation and politics. The author also answers the question of whether, in the course of anti-austerity movements’ activities, a new social group – the precariat – gained political subjectivity.

“All That You Can’t Leave Behind”

As numerous scholars have shown, Hurricane Katrina exacerbated the already-ongoing precarity of African American communities in New Orleans. The crisis demanded a reckoning with the afterlives of slavery at the national and global level. This article focuses on the work of Black women popular music artists whose early twenty-first century recordings and stirring performances addressed the traumas, the challenges, and the spectacular subjugation of Black women who fell victim to brutal disenfranchisement in the midst of the disaster. Beyonce’s B-Day album and Mary J. Blige’s history-making Katrina telethon performance are central to this discussion. The original title of this article was “‘All That You Can’t Leave Behind’: Black Female Soul Singing and the Politics of Surrogation in the Age of Catastrophe.”
