CULTURA NEL Iº E NEL IIº SECOLO d.C.

Dalla morte di Augusto nel 14 d.C. fino al 200 circa, gli autori romani enfatizzarono lo stile e sperimentarono nuovi e sorprendenti modi di espressione. Tra i poemi epici si ricordano le Argonautiche di Gaio Valerio Flacco, che seguono le vicende di Giasone e degli Argonauti alla ricerca del vello d'oro, la Tebaide di Stazio, che segue il conflitto dei figli di Edipo e dei Sette contro Tebe, e i Punica di Silio Italico, che trattano la seconda guerra punica e le invasioni di Annibale in Italia. Per mano di Marziale, l'epigramma raggiunse la qualità pungente che ancora oggi gli viene associata. Giovenale satireggiava il vizio. Lo storico Tacito dipinse un quadro indimenticabilmente cupo del primo impero nelle sue Storie e negli Annali, entrambi scritti all'inizio del II secolo. Il suo contemporaneo Svetonio scrisse le biografie dei 12 governanti romani da Giulio Cesare a Domiziano. Le lettere di Plinio il ...

THE GALS

Aviva Donna is an Elf in Persio, the Elven nation, and residing in the southwestern city of Divia. She is a technomancer: a type of alchemic inventor seeking to combine magic with physical technology. She learned her passion and skills for technomancy from her grandmother, Elvira Donatina, who was a renowned inventor and one of the first pioneers of technomancy abilities. Despite her family disliking her career path, her high-quality blacksmithing apron was a gift from her aunt.

Aviva often appears cold, stoic, and quiet, but that’s because she dislikes many of her fellow Elves. She’s the daughter of senators, and therefore expected to be dainty and pretty all of the time. She goes so far as to purposefully not smile in front of anyone but her closest friend and ally, Kokoi.

Kokoi is a fairy working as a special type of technomancer called a techno-whisperer. Whisperers are usually apprentices or assistants to fully-trained technomancers, and they’re trained to do more on the sides of coding, testing, repairing, and communication. She left her fey colony to find work as a technomancer because the colony was struggling financially. When training, she shot to the top of the class and was assigned to Aviva.

What she didn’t realize, though, was that when whisperers are contracted, they must always stay in the vicinity of their technomancers. She attempted to visit her colony one night, but found that she was magically contained within a certain radius. She’s now searching for a way to free herself from this magical cage and attempting to become her own technomancer. As much as she likes Aviva, she doesn’t want to rely on her to release her. It would be far too much trouble for Aviva to put trust in her.

Brazil: 30 years ago, Real Plan ended hyperinflation, balanced economy

Economists from various backgrounds recognized the 1994 team's merits

One of the world economy's most innovative plans marks its 30th anniversary this Monday (Jul. 1). Exactly three decades ago, the cruzeiro real, a currency ravaged by hyperinflation, gave way to the real, stabilizing the Brazilian economy. This risky endeavor involved a form of social engineering to tackle inflation after multiple failed economic plans.

Amid numerous attempts to stabilize prices and wages through different indexers, the economic team of the Itamar Franco government introduced a groundbreaking approach: the Real Unit of Value (URV). Over three months, all prices and wages were denoted in both real cruzeiros and URVs, with its daily rate fluctuating and loosely tied to the dollar. This system persisted until the introduction of the real, when BRL 1 equaled 1 URV, and 1 URV equaled 2,750 cruzeiros reais.

“It was an extraordinarily risky and challenging process, filled with setbacks, and it could have gone wrong at any moment," recalled economist Persio Arida, one of the architects of the Real Plan, in an interview with TV Brasil during the book launch in São Paulo commemorating the plan's 30th anniversary.

Through indexing the entire economy, the URV effectively recalibrated what economists call relative prices, a measure used to gauge purchasing power across various goods and services. Coupled with an initially fixed exchange rate and high interest rates to attract foreign capital, the plan proved successful. By June 1994, the Broad National Consumer Price Index (IPCA) had surged to 47.43 percent. The indicator fell to 6.84 percent the following month and further dropped to just 1.71 percent by December 1994.

CDP: The Claire Driven Project

[Originally published in Fashion Fag Magazine, November-December, Volume 1, Number 4, 1994]

The slow but systematic take over of VDP (The Volunteer Driven Program) or The Berlin Wall gets constructed in GMHC.

Wednesday, October 12, 5:00p.m., 1 am tryin to leave my house and get my butt down to the theatre when the phone rings.

"Hi it's Claire Shanley."

What does she want - is she going to reprimand me about cursin' to much or being too ethnic.

"Hi Claire, how are you doing?"

She tells me that she would like to have a meeting with me on Monday. I question her as to what the meeting is about. She says its about the Program. And as always she erected a barrier and any more information was withheld. We scheduled an appointment for 2:30 on Monday and I hung up.

Well of course I was feeling a scheme of some sort rising, as I never really got along with Claire from the get go. And her recent reprimand of my language at the Open House. I instantly thought she was going to try and pull a Chris M on me. But unlike Chris I have a loaded gun and won't, be shooting blanks.

I have been with this program since its birth. I've been there to see its formation, its changes in structure and membership, and I have been very active in the forming of the structure that now governs it. My time and energy along with others have given this program its success.

I'm not stupid I'm not going to go in to battle with the enemy unarmed. So I immediately called Matt Carlin and shared with him my secret meeting with Claire & Joe. I got his machine. I then called Adamo, to let my sister know that there was a conspiracy to oust me. I wanted them to stand with me and if I was made to leave I would want them to leave with me. I got Adamo's machine also. I had to go to work so I'd call them back after work.

At work all I could think about was what they wanted to talk with me about. Naturally on the defensive I began to form counter-arguments. My mind was raked, I couldn't believe they would try to make me leave, especially after all I've done for that program.

I was there for the controversy around the COPE conference, The Young Hot & Safe campaign where I actually spoke at the press conference, the meeting with the education committee, and the much talked about meeting with Jeff Richardson. How dare they ask me to leave, I am the soul of the program since Daniel left.

Claire's icy coldness and poor facilitation skill, do not make these meetings a treat to come to. People like Adamo, Matt C, Amanda, Cecilia, Prudence, Leilani, Persio and John make these meetings. Not Claire or Joe.

This is the VOLUNTEER DRIVEN PROGRAM. They gave us the name, and supposedly the power why are they trying to take that away from us. I long for the days of Daniel, he would not do something as covert and sneaky as Ms. Shanley.

I got home about 11:00pm and was eager to check the machine. The light blinked three messages. Thats it. I pressed the button.

"You're not the only one."

Matt's voice blared from my machine.

"I got a message right before yours on my machine from Mr. Lunievicz, saying that he wanted me to come in for a special meeting at 5:00..."

I was cut off by the phone ringing. It was one of my actresses from the theatre. I quickly got off the phone, and returned to my messages.

"Hi this is Adamo I got a message from Joe..."

STOP!

You know I started this story months ago when it was happening but then I stopped because I wanted to put the whole situation behind me. Right now I'm very bitter towards Joe and Claire and GMHC for letting it happen and not trying to protect us. I tried to just get some advice from Robert Penn to no avail, he wouldn't even speak to me. I felt so betrayed after all I'd done. This is how they treat a young person who volunteers his time to fight HIV/AIDS. No, I don't think so. Because of the whole event I have taken a rest from HIV/AIDS education.

I stopped goin to my CCP meetings even though I was getting paid to go, and it would have been great to take GMHC's money and laugh in Joe and Claire's face because they couldn't stop me from goin. But I lost my inspiration to pursue any kind of AIDS-related volunteer work. I even stopped going to my COPE meetings. I'm feeling very down over our treatment. I sort of expected it but when it came to reality it was very harsh. I lost more than the opportunity to further my facilitation skills but I lost the wonderful group of people that attended those meetings. And that hurts the most.

I know I see these people around from time to time, but its not the same. I used to look forward to going to these meetings, they were so fun and sociable, but all that has changed under the reign of Claire that fun which made the work fun was squashed. Thus the end of an era. May the VDP rest in peace.

[Afterwords: I will be frank I can't remember specifically what happened, but whatever it was it was traumatic. I never even walked on the block that GMHC was on for decades afterward, forgetting the reasons why I didn't want to even see that building anymore. But like I said in the piece I was very discouraged from all of my volunteer and activism work. It would be years before I did some final work with NYPAEC and have never done any since.

All of the adults involved including Krishna Stone should be ashamed at what they did to these eager and enthusiastic young people were not only passionate about the work they were doing, but also trying to work within the system to do more advocacy.

GMHC wasn't happy that we were holding them to account for the fact that young people made most of their monies, through the AIDS Walk and the Dance for AIDS and those same monies were not allocated to prevention efforts with the same young people. We called them out on that hypocrisy even calling for a meeting with the CEO. We were persona non-grata not for being difficult but for challenging the hegemony.

The call was coming from within the house is a huge reason that I stepped away from the LGBT communities all together. Here were a pretty cohesive group of brilliant young diverse queers working together to save and protect other young queers and a queer organization was seeking to discourage and dismantle them.

Miss me with all that.

It was such an important part of my life finding a social issue and a friend group to assist me in doing the work. Our energy should have been harnessed for the greater good, but as always the organization was self-serving and not really interested in a fair distribution of funds, we were fucking with peoples paychecks ergo we all had to go.

The other significant things to mention as I re-read this piece was the fact that I was still working in theatre, and was residing at my first apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Adamo still had the vowel on the end of his name, I don't think Matt was a lawyer quite yet and I still thought of Amanda and Cecilia as a package deal. I was just thinking about if I had any images of all of us together and I don't. I don't think we recorded ourselves, we were just so focused on the work, we never thought about how monumental what it was that we were doing.

I do have contact sheets - names, phone numbers and addresses for our members, but they aren't easy to get to, otherwise I would include a shot of them here-within. Also the answering machine, these kids today just don't know how messy answering machines were, but were such a common-place thing. I think I lost that one in my fire in ninety-eight, and am pretty sure I never replaced it.

Last word on Joe, I had always found Joe HAWT, because he wore jeans that fit way too tightly for being an alleged straight-man working at a very queer service agency. I did find a photo of him that is close to how he would have looked in the nineties, and he looks as good as I remember him. He was also slightly bow-legged which was also quite sexy, but in hindsight I am glad that he was a straight white male, because it made it so much more appropriate when he did what he did to a group of queers of color for allegedly the greater good but really just was protecting his very firm ass.

Piazza del Liceo e Palazzo Lanfranchi: un tuffo nella storia

Il cuore del Piano

Partiamo da Piazzetta Giovanni Pascoli, conosciuta anche come “Piazza del Liceo”, che ospita Palazzo Lanfranchi, un’imponente costruzione del XVII secolo.

Il Museo Archeologico Nazionale

Proseguendo lungo via Ridola, è possibile raggiungere il Museo Archeologico Nazionale, situato nell’ex convento barocco di Santa Chiara. Fondato nel 1911, il museo conserva reperti significativi del territorio materano e lucano, offrendo una straordinaria testimonianza delle stratificazioni storiche della regione, dal Paleolitico ai giorni nostri.

Piazza del Sedile: il crocevia dei Sassi

Il cuore politico ed economico

Piazza del Sedile è stata il fulcro politico ed economico di Matera nel XVI secolo, sede del Palazzo del Sedile, l’antico municipio. Oggi, il palazzo ospita il Conservatorio di musica intitolato al compositore Egidio Romualdo Duni. Da qui, è possibile ammirare lo spettacolare panorama dei rioni Caveoso e Barisano, che si ergono ai lati della piazza.

Piazza Duomo e la Cattedrale di Matera

Un capolavoro romanico-gotico

Percorrendo via Duomo, si arriva in Piazza Duomo, dominata dalla maestosa Cattedrale di Matera, costruita nel XIII secolo in stile romanico-gotico. L’interno della cattedrale è un vero scrigno di tesori artistici, con affreschi medievali, altari barocchi e la famosa “cappella del presepe”, che ospita un presepe in pietra del XVI secolo realizzato dall’artista Altobello Persio di Montescaglioso.

Il museo Diocesano

Accanto alla cattedrale, si trova il Museo Diocesano inaugurato nel 2011 e dedicato all’arte sacra. Tra le sue collezioni spiccano gli argenti provenienti dal tesoro della cattedrale, che raccontano la ricca tradizione religiosa di Matera.

Piazza Vittorio Veneto: il salotto della città

Una vista mozzafiato sul panorama lucano

Piazza Vittorio Veneto è la piazza principale di Matera, da cui si gode una vista spettacolare sui rioni Sassi e sulla Civita. Da qui, è possibile visitare il Palombaro lungo, un enorme serbatoio d’acqua scavato nella roccia, e immergersi nella vivace atmosfera dei negozi e dei ristoranti lungo via delle Beccherie.

Belvedere Guerricchio

Non dimenticare di visitare il belvedere Guerricchio, da cui ammirare il suggestivo panorama del Sasso Barisano e della Civita, soprattutto al tramonto, quando i colori caldi accendono le antiche facciate di pietra.

Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista: un gioiello nascosto

Economistas que apoiaram Lula agora fazem críticas ao governo
