Many times I make free associations between what they study in school, what I read on the internet and what I see on television. Well, I ricapitato the other night. the afternoon I had studied a few pages of Pasolini on society of the sixties and seventies, in which Pier Paolo complains about the type of inter-class and middle-class Italians. Delete the vast rural world and all the ancient dialects was the most ferocious of all that he did fascism. Pasolini said then that the only people that interest him are those who have made the most of the fourth grade, because he who has a form of imposed culture and desired by Power (ergo the consumer society) is somehow corrupted and unclean. Obviously this does not apply to those who have a high culture but for the average middle-class.
I could not accept positions that I seemed so outdated and reactionary until I got the idea to turn on the television. It was aired Tetris where he spoke on immigration and the two sides lined up did nothing but cry and hurt each other in a morbid and collective consensus. A scene that made me very sad. I found myself changing the channel on two rai, where Bignardi interviewing a sample of the boxing world. A humble person, who had suffered a life, a difficult family, a father violent. A boy who has known poverty, drugs, crime and obesity. This last has led to join a gym, where he met a new world made of hard work, sweat and intense friendship with his coaches and teachers, with whom he established a relationship of fatherly love. A man who was slapped by a world that has been able to find and reconstruct another, out of the limelight, streets full of people, those who refuse to accept their condition and turn to appear different to the other . This guy has taken note of his being, of what was and who he was: a person who is poor, with only a few patients who sought solace in drugs. These weaknesses nasonderle or did not want to show off, did not try to blend in with their clothes and social acts in the Italian middle classes and portrayed by the media pumped. If they have cheated the giggles of the conformists.
After that sought the path of revenge, the revenge of recovering all that he had not been granted. But how can a person of his social recover the dignity and groped without strange to look like others? He chose a gym, hard training, the forgotten world of boxing, which does not make enough money and therefore does not exist. He did not want relations with the love of many but a few. His face, his arms, his story was enough to shout its diversity to anyone look at him, did not have to prove it.
often gives dignity when this is recognized by others according to the forms of agreement. They do not have this quality then the poor, the marginalized and those who turn away. If they can win only if divantano other: wealthy people, with whom palrlare cinema, television, agriculture policies, and only if, in fact, agree to enter our world and accept its laws. These are the rules of the consumer society that told me about Pasolini. But this fighter did not want to compromise, choose the simplest way, which meant giving up the dignity relished for a new dignity was not his but that of others and therefore false and obscene. He understood che la dignità non è qualcosa a cui si può accedere attraverso un percorso stabilito, standardizzato; non è una prerogativa borghese. La dignità è una cosa che riguarda noi in quanto essere umani e la conquistiamo con il sangue e il sudore.
La straordinarietà di questo ragazzo sta nella sua semplicità e purezza, nella sua coerenza esistenziale, nella scelta di redimersi per se stesso e non per gli altri, nell'essersi riscattato facendo delle sue debolezza una forza straordinaria.
Sembrerà una specie di american dream o una storia di rivalsa sociale come tante altre ma in realtà è completmente diversa.
La sua dignità è ora assoluta e non relativa a questa o quella cultura lì (borghese, proletarian). He never denied what has been agreed and the reality of his condition. For this is no different and, at least for me, a person of immense courage.
Compared to the privileged who slaughtered him on Tetris is a pure man, uncorrupted and true to himself. So a myth.
