OPERATION ŽOFÍN, OR: A CZECH VOINA
|
| “The state will not help slackers and delinquents who abuse government handouts,” said the Prime Minister. If his position was not filled by an idiot without talent or feeling, he might have said: “We will help those who have been pushed to the margins of society by twelve years of irresponsible politics, who have been pushed to the self-destructive use of already low welfare payments, or who… |

PLAYING AT ECONOMICS. LET’S BURN THE KING OF CARNIVAL!
|
| God died years ago. The Germans spent a long time working on that. Today, human rule is biting the dust as well – through international cooperation and exchange. It’s no longer safe in the distant headquarters of the leaders of the world economy, nor in the hideaways of the smallest fish in the pond. Everybody is weighed down with a sense of ruin. The filth is piled up against the gates of the… |

HAPPY HOUSE
|
| When we dream of changing the world it is commonly supposed to be idealism. The label “romantic idealism” usually implies the utmost disapproval. Particularly refined minds shape their idealistic views into teachings and programmes, provoking revolutions. But when a revolution fails to occur, the concepts, stubbornly focusing on the search for the way to change and improve the lives of the… |

A REEVALUATION OF REEVALUATIONS
|
|
We have just had the end of a decade, with all the requisite media retrospectives and reevaluations. Although the tendency to review and analyze has been ascribed to the entire modern era, it would seem that there has been an upsurge in looking back into the past. It has been said that the 20th century came to a close with the events of September 11, but we still seem to be coming to terms with… |

UMĚLEC IN AUSTRIA
|
| It was chance that led me to the editorship of this journal; and then, the fact that I had grown up in one particular small town in Austria, one that before many years was known only for its high church-tower and later for one Herr Schicklgruber, somehow fitted into the liking of oblique facts which is characteristic for Umelec. And so the publisher forced me to work on the task of an Austrian… |

| 1. Escribí este texto de camino a Luxemburgo, en cuatro trenes diferentes que tuve que coger para llegar a Colophon, simposio internacional de revistas. Dicho evento me pareció muy atractivo hasta que, en vísperas de partir hacia allí, descubrí que el llamado flash-pass, un pase que daba derecho a participar en el simposio, valía 100 euros. Sí, sí, en la página web con mucha antelación ponían:… |

SÍ O NO
|
| La exhibición del grupo activista, Guma Guar, en la galería municipal de praga fue dañada supuestamente por un grupo de iconoclastas desconocidos y su subsiguiente cierre estubo acompañado por teorías conspiratorias. Tras la decisión del encargado de la institución de cerrar prematuramente la exhibición sin consultar a los artistas, la escena artística Checa reaccionó de una manera que podríamos… |

| Trabajamos como ancianos y, pese a ello, somos más niños que nunca antes. Nos dejamos rodear por prodigios portátiles y, por eso, ni llegamos a saber qué estamos manejando. Tratamos de vivir con seguridad y, pese a todo, no sabemos en qué consiste. Muchos de nosotros han perdido el tiempo pero poseen cosas. Nos encantan las cosas y sus nombres nos suenan a encanto. Las amamos; ellas no nos aman.… |

Todos queremos un SUV
No se creó la Unión Europea para satisfacer intereses culturales regionales sino para el libre movimiento transfronterizo de la inversión. Serás una inversión no importando si posees un monedero lleno de dinero o una tarjeta de crédito con fondos ilimitados. Si eres ciudadano de la Unión Europea, se da por supuesto que tendrás eso último y puedes ir a… |

| Mexico entered into NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, in the early 1990s with dragging heels and a history of suspicion, while the United States hailed the questionable arrangement as a universal victory for freedom and equality, as it always does for anything that mainly benefits the United States of America.
Now there is equal regret on both sides of the fence, and jingoistic… |
