      La quarta edizione di INCROCI DI CIVILTÀ, Incontri internazionali di letteratura a Venezia, promosso da Comune di Venezia, Assessorato alle Attività e Produzioni Culturali e Università Ca' Foscari Venezia si svolgerà dal 13 al 16 aprile 2011, presentandosi con una nuova collocazione nel calendario e con un programma ricco di novità per portare ancora una volta il mondo a Venezia e Venezia nel mondo. Si conferma la formula di osservare il mondo di oggi, avvicinarsi alle culture vicine e lontane, analizzare il loro incontrarsi ed incrociarsi, affrontare le tematiche più attuali attraverso lo sguardo privilegiato degli scrittori. Ad Antonia S. Byatt, Theo Angelopoulos, Petros Markaris, i nomi di punta già annunciati al momento del lancio del ciclo preparatorio Verso Incroci, si aggiungono un ospite di straordinario prestigio come il premio Nobel V. S. Naipaul, gli enfant terribile della narrativa contemporanea Etgar Keret e Wladimir Kaminer, i bestseller italiani Gianrico Carofiglio e Alessandro Piperno, la coraggiosa narratrice croata Dubravka Ugrešic, l'artista del fumetto Joann Sfar, dodici poeti di tutto il mondo venuti a celebrare il centenario di Czesław Miłosz, e molti altri autori e culture da scoprire.

      Many writers feel less and less comfortable in a literary environment densely populated by publishers, editors, agents, distributors, brokers, advertising, chain bookstores, sales staff, cameras and photographers. The writer and his reader, the two most key chain, today are more isolated than ever. [it] Molti scrittori si sentono sempre meno a loro agio in un ambiente letterario fittamente popolato di editori, redattori, agenti, distributori, mediatori, pubblicitari, catene di librerie, addetti alla vendita, telecamere, fotografi. Lo scrittore e il suo lettore, le due figure più importanti della catena, oggi sono più isolati che mai. Dubravka Ugresic

      txt: Six Memos for the Next Millennium (Vintage Books edition) Commentary on Lightness
      Italo Calvino’s Six Memos for the Next Millennium contains five memos, or personal testaments. The sixth was never written on paper. Each memo on lightness, quickness, exactitude, visibility, and multiplicity acts as a guideline for life and creativity. Six Memos for the Next Millennium is a book one should all read to endure a more satisfying life of clarity and simplicity. Although Calvino’s book was primarily written in regards to literature, his book can also relate to the fields of art and design. As in writing, design and typography should be light, clear, and simple while still maintaining a visually appealing and comprehensive story. Essentially, a designer and typographer convey to their audience “a story” that must be visually read and understood. Typography, design and writing portray messages, personalities, and hidden meanings for their audience in different ways but also much in the same vein.

      txt: 2010 World Poetry Day "The Words of Nature, the Nature of Words" - UNESCO
      Doubling as International Year of Biodiversity and of the Rapprochement of Cultures, 2010 celebrates two essential facets of diversity: the heritage which is key to human life on Earth. Through poetry and science, humanity has been able to capture a full range of the world’s diversity. From their distinctive perspectives, poetry and science embody humanity’s noblest quest: that which UNESCO’s Constitution identifies as “the unrestricted pursuit of truth”.

      Who finds 1000 True Fans finds a treasure

      via: The Technium: 1,000 True Fans.
      The long tail is famously good news for two classes of people; a few lucky aggregators, such as Amazon and Netflix, and 6 billion consumers. Of those two, I think consumers earn the greater reward from the wealth hidden in infinite niches. But the long tail is a decidedly mixed blessing for creators. Individual artists, producers, inventors and makers are overlooked in the equation. The long tail does not raise the sales of creators much, but it does add massive competition and endless downward pressure on prices. Unless artists become a large aggregator of other artist's works, the long tail offers no path out of the quiet doldrums of minuscule sales. Other than aim for a blockbuster hit, what can an artist do to escape the long tail? One solution is to find 1,000 True Fans. While some artists have discovered this path without calling it that, I think it is worth trying to formalize. The gist of 1,000 True Fans can be stated simply: A creator, such as an artist, musician, photographer, craftsperson, performer, animator, designer, videomaker, or author - in other words, anyone producing works of art - needs to acquire only 1,000 True Fans to make a living.

      txt: Perché un festival del copyleft - Copyleft Festival 2008
      La sequenza più logica sarebbe: l’opera circola gratis, il gradimento si trasforma in passaparola, ne traggono beneficio la celebrità e la reputazione dell’autore, quindi aumenta il suo spazio di manovra all’interno dell’industria culturale e non solo. E’ un circolo virtuoso. [en] The most logical sequence would be: the work circulates for free, his approval spread as word of mouth, it will benefit the fame and reputation of the author, and then increase its influence within the cultural industry and beyond. It's a virtuous circle.

      txt: Edinburgh festival: art as theatre - What is the most theatrical visual art at this year's festival? - Jonathan Jones on blogs.guardian.co.uk
      Let's face it, Edinburgh festival is about live performance. It's about theatre, it's about comedy, and although the Edinburgh Art Festival, now into its fifth year, keeps getting stronger, it would be ludicrous to think it's visual art that brings summer crowds to the city.

      Oddtag goes (almost) offline this summer, until Summer Bank Holiday (more or less). No travelling but hard work, sweat and sun. Have a look on the Venetian Writings (in italian), be good, have fun. img: A coffee please - oddtag on flickr.com
