CALTAGIRONE - Scalinata di Santa Maria del Monte, Chiesa di San Francesco, Chiesa Santa Maria del Monte, Palazzo Magnolie, Particolare Palazzo Magnolie, Palazzo dell’ Aquila, Palazzo Perremutto Polizzi, Villa Patti, Particolare chiesa Caltagirone, Negozio ceramica

Arrivi a Caltagirone dopo aver attraversato il nulla e per strade sospese nel vuoto. Sono tante case disperse sulla cima di un monte dove le più alte sono i palazzi del potere: il carcere borbonico e la chiesa. Vi sono lunghe vie costeggiate di negozi dove brillano i colori della ceramica, disegni antichi e nuove invenzioni che ti incuriosiscono e stupiscono. Vi sono disegni semplicissimi con pochi colori e ceramiche elaborate e bellissime degne di una reggia, il tutto a pochi metri le une dalle altre quasi ad indicar che sebbene l’abilità per l’arte sia diversa è uguale nei loro autori l’amore per essa. Trovi per strada gli stessi colori: gli azzurri nel cielo, i gialli nelle case illuminate dal sole, i verdi nei campi e boschi che circondano la città i rossi nei sorrisi delle sue donne che di quest’arte, che cerca la bellezza, sono le ispiratrici. Il grigio non lo trovi nella ceramica ma solo nella terra con cui il monte è fatto, grigia con il cielo coperto o la pioggia diventa di un bianco abbagliate più delle ossa dei morti quando il sole splende e illumina Caltagirone e il suo coloratissimo cuore di ceramica

Arrive in Caltagirone after crossing the nothing and streets suspended in space. There are many houses scattered on top of a mountain where the highest are the palaces of power: the Bourbon prison and the church. There are long streets lined with shops where the colors of ceramics shine, ancient drawings and new inventions that intrigue and amaze you. There are very simple designs with few colors and elaborate and beautiful ceramics worthy of a palace, all just a few meters from each other as if to indicate that although the ability for art is different is equal in their authors love for it . You find the same colors on the street: the blues in the sky, the yellows in the houses lit by the sun, the greens in the fields and woods that surround the city the reds in the smiles of his women that of this art, looking for beauty, are the inspiring. The gray does not find it in the ceramic but only in the land with which the mountain is made, gray with the overcast sky or the rain becomes a white more dazzled than the bones of the dead when the sun shines and illuminates Caltagirone and its colorful ceramic heart

In 8 Mile, Curtis Hanson got a good performance out of hip-hop star, but neophyte actor, Eminem. A few other movies where musicians played versions of themselves (or versions of same).

A Hard Day’s Night. D: Richard Lester (1964). The Beatles as themselves in a typical weekend running from fans, bored in hotel rooms, breaking away to mess around in a field and generally living in the biggest pop culture moment in history.

Rock’n’Roll High School. D: Allan Arkush (1979). There was always a touch of Mad Magazine in the Ramones schtick and they leaned into it playing cartoonish versions of themselves who go to Vince Lombardi High School, goose the principal (“Do your parents know you’re Ramones?” she bellows) and inspire the students to blow up the school.

Purple Rain. D: Albert Magnoli (1984). In this entertaining musical melodrama based of Prince’s scuffling days in Minneapolis, he overcomes family trauma and his own sexism because, baby, he’s a star. And while rival Morris Day is eating his lunch in the movie, he rallies and blows everybody away (including us) in concert footage that showed why he was one of the best rockers of his time.

Boyz n the Hood. D: John Singleton (1991). Ice Cube played Doughboy, a young street kid, obviously based on his own songs. At the end, when he enacts an Ice Cube song as revenge for a fallen friend, his performance recognizes his actions futility. Later that year he came out with “Dead Homiez.”

Masked and Anonymous. D: Larry Charles (2003). Bob Dylan (who wrote the script) is Jack Fate who’s basically Bob Dylan in a dystopian future, let out of jail for a big show for the totalitarian governor in this hypnotic mishmash. Hey, it could happen.

mezičasy / die Geiste von Berlin

Berlín se tváří jako léto, od léta k nerozeznání. v rámci léta jsem se včera vydala na kole k Tegeler See. je tam taková malá prázdná pláž, kterou jsem objevila loni na jaře. ve středu.

byla prázdná, loni na jaře, ve středu. nikoliv v neděli v srpnu, kdy se snažím kličkovat po Nordufer mezi cyklisty a chodci a věnovat se navigaci aspoň natolik, abych pochopila její výslovnost. jú ef í ar. tak určitě. nejenže to neumí vyslovit, neumí to ani odnavigovat, takže se v popoledním slunci nacházím někde tady, u Westhafenu, v továrně (Battersea, almost).

místo toho, abych se někde napojila na tu hezkou cestu kolem kolonií, bloudím kopřivama, blbě odbočuju, skončím na úzký cestičce mezi plotem s ostnatým drátem na jedný straně, letiště, a plotem s ostnatým drátem na straně druhý, Militärgebiet, a to ještě není konec, ještě vjedu do písku a budu nadávat jako špaček (der Star, vysloveno štár, a kdo napsal nebo přečet vysoveno, ať zvedne ruku) a myslím, že Google navigace si tak může dát na fb, že se mnou je to complicated, bitch jedna.

ale mezitím nějak skončím zase u plotu, přímo na trajektorii přistávací dráhy na Tegelu, vedle navigačních světel, a nad hlavou mi kurva letí letadlo, odhadnout se to nedá, 30? 50? metrů a je to boží a já na chvíli nelituju. ale vlastně nelituju vůbec, protože je furt léto a u stánku maj studený pivo a protože na cestě zpátky se pohádáme jen pětkrát.

a dneska byla bouřka a pak se stavil Hendrik a já, já tu sedím u otevřenýho okna (kecám, jen u okna, ale teď jsem ho otevřela doopravdy), je a není léto, je a není podzim, na fb všichni postujou houby, ale u mě je 27,0°C a kdybych si udělala timelapse bytu od letošního jara, tak se stěhuje Becca -- přesouvám věci -- stavím si pracovní stoleček u okna -- a sbírám věci a dekoruju. a kdybych si udělala timelapse toho, jak mi s tím je, tak je to stejnej chaos a teď tu sedím, okno na úrovni koruny mýho kaštanu, a za 6 dní to budou kurva 4 roky v tomhle bytě, a já to fakt nechápu. věci sbírám tak, že se to prostě děje, včera po srazu s Nadiou jsem na ulici našla přesně tu lampu, kterou jsem si představovala do toho rohu v ložnici, a hrdě jsem ji nesla domů a dokoupila jí dneska ty chybějící žárovky. are you a hoarder, ptá se mě Hendrik, a já se vyzpovídávám z toho, jak mě tíží kořeny, který tu zapouštim, jak je divný nebejt připravená vypadnout. ve sklepě mám furt nasbíraný prázdný krabice z loňska, kdy jsem neustále třídila a vyhazovala věci, a --

a v Praze naši prodali dům, kde jsem vyrostla, hodiny odtikávaj březen, rozloučení nás ještě čeká, ale message je jasná: poslední vánoce, nová éra, z tý obří, impozantní magnolie může taky zbejt jen kérka, co mám na levejch žebrech k poctě všech těch nekonečnejch dní, kdy jsme s B. byly děcka a seděly v koruně a vymejšlely příběhy, který se v počtu vyšším než jsem ochotná přiznat točily kolem toho, která si vezme kterýho Beatla. bylo nám tak 10. dávno předtím než se B. vydala do Anglie, dávno předtím, než jsme mnohokrát redefinovaly naše přátelství, abysme se potkaly, dospělý, v podobnejch situacích, sdílející, podporující.

speaking of příběhy, vyprávěla jsem dneska Hendrikovi ten zdánlivě nevýznamnej souběh událostí jara 2012. jak jsem měla jet s B. na dovolenou do Irska (kam se teď, za 15 dní, chystám zas). jak jsem dělala v herní firmě, kde nikdo nevěděl jak dělat hry a tím míň já. jak jsem chodila s klukem, a protože se nechtěl potkat před mou dovolenou, naštvala jsem se a šla jsem na meetup českejch vývojářů. a potkala tam jinýho kluka, kterej mě doprovodil domů (a kterýmu jsem stihla vyčíst, že se mi rozbil sandál -- ten, co jsem si koupila cca 2001 na maturitní ples, ten ve kterým jsem jako jediným měla něco jako metr devadesát). a střih, letěla jsem do Dublinu, potkala se s B., se kterou jsme tehdy měly takovej ne úplně osobní vztah, protože jsme se moc nevídaly a ještě se nenaučily Skypovat, šly na pivo, a tam mi B. najednou řekla, že se její děda zastřelil, protože měl strach z bolesti, z rakoviny, a jak ho našla babička. a pak jsme jely do Letterfracku, což je příběh, kterej vám ráda budu vyprávět osobně, ale teď potřebujete vědět akorát, že obsahuje vlkodlaky a tajný rituály obsahující dvě Češky, ale -- happy end -- here we are, unikly jsme nevyhnutenýmu osudu.

a vrátily jsme se do Londýna a jely na posvatební večírek B. kolegy, pamatuju si svoje šaty a svoji lame angličtinu, rosé a small talk, abych se vrátila do Prahy a B mi psala, že se její kolega ženich s bratrem a otcem zabili v autě den poté. a ve mně zůstal ten pocit, že se všechno může otočit o sto osmdesát. a ten kluk, co jsem ho potkala, a co se o dva roky později bude stěhovat do Anglie, kde se teď v roce 2019 oženil a čeká dítě, s tím klukem budem chvíli chodit, ale hlavně mě dokope přihlásit se do Disney, takže, kruh se uzavírá, může za to, že jsem to nakonec udělala, zažila tam skvělý časy a po jejich konci sbalila saky paky a odešla -- sem.

a tak tu jsem, náhodný pondělí, který se v porovnání se všema pondělíma předtím vyznačuje větším chaosem a větším pořádkem, a ano, je možný mít obojí naráz, a ptám se sama sebe, jak hluboký jsou ty kořeny. hlubší než kaštan za oknem?

Hendrikovi říkám, že mi není dobře s představou sebrat se a jít, poprvý v životě, ale jak se teď dívám na tuhle fotku, turning nothing into something, musim si přiznat, že i když kořením, furt mám ráda prázdný prostory. I met with a friend who is an artist and lives from hand to mouth, říká a zarazí se, nedává to smysl, ne, to je německej a českej idiom, nikoliv anglickej. a tak je to furt, místo nerozeznání v úvodu jsem chtěla napsat nezměnění a pak mi došlo, že to nedává smysl, a jak pravil Hendrik, you are half Slavic, half German anyway. kdo jsem, že. a tak vim, že nevim, ale vim, že vim. že jsem se tu našla. že jsem našla, co jsem potřebovala, a nacházim to furt. ať už se jedná o lampu, mísu na salát, zrcadlo anebo třeba blues bar, kterej smrdí jak stará česká hospoda. že jsem tu našla lidi, tak blízký jako nikdy předtím. že můžu jít v neděli na Mauerpark a koupit si Vaterland, Smetana a Entomologyst’s dream, natočeno Suprafonem v Dejvicích, za pár šupů. že jsem, pořád, v bytě, odkud mám výhled na východ i západ zároveň a každej novej měsíc mi vyleze před očima.

že tady a teď nedává smysl všechno, ale něco jo. na střeše naproti je pořád obrovskej signifikantní nápis MESS (bejvalo tam ACAB). na druhý straně, ve dvoře, furt jsou ty dvě okna, kde bydlí hezkej kluk a kotě (kterej nepřímo může za to, že jsem si zase rozbila nohu, ale o tom jindy), a nad střechama s líbajícíma se komínama se každodenně obloha barví do růžova.

there are ghosts in the streets of Berlin.

Attracting American Tourists to Cuba Remains a Tough Sell

Ground staff celebrate JetBlue's first flight to Cuba in August. For many airlines, including JetBlue, new Cuba routes have not been as successful as they had hoped. JetBlue Airways

Skift Take: Americans are not flocking to Cuba, and there's not enough infrastructure on the island to support large-scale tourism. Who could have seen this coming? Probably everyone who was paying attention.

— Brian Sumers

When JetBlue flight 387 took off from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for Cuba last August 31 — the first commercial flight to the island since 1961 — its vapor trail seemed to write history. A new beachhead in the Antilles for U.S. airlines! A long forbidden destination opened at last for U.S. tourists! Suitcases of dollars for ordinary Cubans catering to the new arrivals!

But hold the mojitos.

One month before spring break, JetBlue became the third U.S. carrier to announce cuts in service to the island. No one is pulling out, but the travel industry’s new mandate is adjusting to the reality beyond the Cuba hype. Pricey cabs, so-so infrastructure, limited internet and scalper-level hotel room rates, which reached $650 last year according to the Economist Intelligent Unit, have put off travelers. As a recent Bloomberg story put it, “Now that Cuba is Open Americans Aren’t Going.”

There’s still plenty of charm in the streets of La Habana Vieja and on all those unblemished beaches that necklace the Caribbean island. But tapping it will depend on the ability of Havana’s floundering regime not just to adapt to the disruptive global economy, but also to write a new narrative that promotes the island’s future as much as its past.

This is not the first time Cuba has tried soft power to rescue the revolution. Fidel Castro warmed to tourism, in part as a lifeline after the Soviet Union collapsed and left the island’s accounts bereft. He talked up the country’s natural beauties and its crime-free streets. Still, he was determined to control not just the levers of the industry but also the behavior of its visitors, abhorring the “tourism of casinos and prostitution.” Instead, the island’s dysfunctional economy beckoned sex tourists, while prostitution and black market dollars offered desperate Cubans a bridge to escape. Talk of tourism was revived as Cuba’s latest underwriter, Venezuela, slid into disarray. Now the normalization of ties with the U.S. (assuming Donald Trump won’t rebuild that wall) has seemingly turbocharged that prospect.

So how will the new Cuba flog its wonders to the world, and can the reform-minded Raul Castro do what his brother could not — leverage the revolution and have it, too? A lot depends on the tourists. For years, Europeans and Canadians flocked to the island for a frugal equatorial getaway, with a dollop of communist realism. Many Latin Americans went in for ideological tourism, pulled by the historical aura of an island nation that played the tropical David to the gringo Goliath. Havana became the dream stop on the lefty Elizabeth Arden circuit and a safehouse for rebels on the lam. Brazil’s Jose Dirceu, the onetime guerrilla fugitive, got his face lifted in Cuba to fool his country’s dictators. (He had less luck under democracy, and is now serving time on multiple charges of political corruption.)

For the moment, pioneering U.S. travelers seem enchanted less by a new venue for spring break than by the allure of a once blacklisted nation with last century’s automobiles and last century’s politics. One of the key attractions of Cuba today is Fidel Castro’s tomb. Visitors in search of that sepia postcard have stoked demand for private guest rooms, giving AirBnb its fastest growing market in 2015. Notwithstanding the recent pullback by U.S. airlines and travel companies, international arrivals surged 14 percent last year, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization. In a recent Brookings Institution report, Richard Feinberg and Richard Newfarmer project arrivals to rise threefold to 10 million by 2030, as tourism’s share of annual export revenues more than triples to $10 billion.

But tourists also know that Cuba is a brand in transition, and as the legacy of Fidel fades, inevitably so too will the island’s most reliable cachet. “Today, Americans are saying, ‘I’m going to see the place before it changes’. That’s fine, but I don’t know if that will translate into return visits,” Carlos Saladrigas, a Cuban-American executive in human resources who shuttles frequently from Miami to Havana, told me.

Selling the rest of the Americas on Cuba may be just as tricky. Latin Americans once held up Castro’s Cuba as the exemplar of public health care, literacy, poverty-busting and anti-imperialist brio. Now with the region’s “pink tide” of leftists governments in retreat, neighbors in the hemisphere are as likely to see the island regime for the clapped out autocracy it is, where stifled expression trumps socialist encomiums, and Cuba’s vaunted cadre of global physicians is better known as a flying cash machine for foreign reserves. “Cuba always served the Latin American left as a political cave. From the inside, you could ignore the failure of the socialist world,” said Demetrio Magnoli, an international relations scholar at the University of Sao Paulo. “With Cuba’s decline and Fidel’s death, however, all that has changed. Cuba no longer has any geopolitical importance, and if it sank into the Caribbean it wouldn’t make a difference to the global economy,” said Magnoli. “The question now is, can Cuba normalize and still prosper?”

Cuba has plenty of splendors, urban, natural or historical. (The National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana boasts some of the finest works of Spanish colonial and contemporary Cuban art, while the capital is jeweled with stunning architecture like the Hotel Nacional and the Saratoga.) Properly managed, they could be a magnet to world travelers eager for hidden wonders. Enthusiasts even tout Cuba’s potential for medical tourism.

The island’s authorities still appear to be banking mostly on beach-bound big spenders: Only about one in five Cuban hotel rooms and just 13 percent of four- and five-star accommodations are located in the capital, Feinberg and Newfarmer reported. That predilection may trace to Cuba’s lingering siege mindset, by which foreigners were deliberately cocooned in outlying resorts, where presumably they wouldn’t pollute the revolution. Only last decade were Cubans allowed to stay in beach hotels, Feinberg and Newfarmer note.

But if the country wishes to ramp up tourism, it needs to move beyond the identity it built and nurtured during the Cold War. For that the authorities will have to hasten reforms. Though private initiative is growing, funded increasingly by dollar remittances from Cuban expatriates, state controls still weigh on the economy. Keeping two official currencies — the CUP for Cubans, the far more coveted CUC for foreigners — distorts prices, encourages a black market, and crimps trade. Curbs on the internet hamper bookings, and restrictions on foreign capital hold up investment. As for island adventures, “There’s much better food and infrastructure in the Dominican Republic,” Saladrigas said. The risk now is that the country loses the glories of the socialist revolution without attaining those of the capitalist one.

That applies even to cigars. A quarter-century ago when a new glossy called Cigar Aficionado launched its list of the world’s greatest smokes, Cuba won all the big prizes. Now Nicaragua and Honduras make some of the finest smokes, and the top award last year went to the Dominican Republic. “The other countries invested in innovation and caught up,” executive editor David Savona told me. In order to keep the island’s economy from dissipating in the smoke, Cuba will have to do the same.
