A portata di mano. Solano Benítez e Maria Argenti
No full textIn questa conversazione l’architetto paraguayano Solano Benítez affronta il tema del rapporto fra architettura e popolo. Portare qualità a comunità che ne sono escluse – sostiene - è un investimento sul futuro della disciplina e della comunità globale; ed è un modo per rovesciare il paradigma che vede il progresso economico legato all’allargarsi della forbice fra chi ha e chi non ha. Secondo Benítez, se c’è una caratteristica che dovrebbe permeare il lavoro degli architetti è quella di operare una ricomposizione del corpo sociale. Mentre la bellezza separata è un elitario, disorientato, esercizio di erudizione fine a se stesso, incapace di trascendersi. I progetti di Solano mettono insieme materiali primari, linearità costruttiva e alta qualità diffusa; ricercano nell’estrema semplicità strutturale l’esattezza della forma; confutano l’equivalenza semplicità-banalità; riconnettono tradizione e innovazione, il sapere diffuso delle comunità e il lavoro di ricerca del singolo progettista. Creare –sostiene Solano - non è inventare dal nulla, ma cambiare il modo di vedere, di pensare, di ricollegare. La mano dell’uomo è la catena di montaggio più sofisticata che ci sia. Da qui occorre ripartire.In this meeting the Paraguayan architect Solano Benítez speaks about the relationship between architecture and people. Bringing quality to communities that are not excluded –he claims – is an investment in the future of the profession and the global community; it is a means for inverting the paradigm that sees economic progress tied to the widening of the division between the haves and the have nots. According to Benítez, if there is one characteristic that should permeate the work of architects, it is that of recomposing the social body. While separate beauty is an elite and disoriented self-referential exercise in style that is incapable of transcending itself. Solano’s projects combine primary materials, linear constructions and widespread quality; they seek the precision of form in extreme structural simplicity; the refute the equivalence between simple-banal; they reconnect tradition and innovation, and the common knowledge of communities with the research of the individual designer. Creating – Solano claims – is not about inventing something from nothing, but about changing the way we see, thing and connect things. The human hand is the most sophisticated assembly line the world has ever known. It represents the true starting point

What we desire is african: intertextuality of negritude in Clarke's and Trindade's poetry
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura CorrespondenteEste trabalho investiga a intertextualidade entre as poesias de Solano Trindade e George Elliot Clarke. O estudo analisa o uso de um eu-enunciador que descreve a luta dos poetas contra a invisibilidade do "eu" negro, a construção de um anti-épico que reconta a história do ponto de vista do negro, a reversão de valores que reafirma a tradição e a cultura negras, e a tentativa de construir uma nova ordem simbólica que se expressa pela ruptura de estereótipos nos textos dos dois autores. A pesquisa revê o discurso da negritude e sua presença na Poesia negra hoje
