Composer Philip Glass withdrew his highly anticipated Symphony No. 15 from its scheduled Kennedy Center performance, saying “the values of the Kennedy Center today are in direct conflict with the message of the Symphony.”

The “world-center” in Béla Tarr (and more precisely, in its co-presence and co-articulation, with and through László Krasznahorkai’s world) is invariably the collapse of world centrality.
His low-angle shots (with cameras sunk deep underground and measured with rigorous precision down to every centimeter) left us with profound insights from darkness and the abyss;
the rough, exhausted existence of a species bound, without escape, to time.
January returns as a season of farewells. Today, a quiet farewell to Béla Tarr.
The “power vacuum” left by Maduro, if not filled by a rational mechanism belonging to the majority, will continue to draw the majority into another cycle of battles by/under other “fascist” forces, both inside and outside the country that attack, invade, and shape the country for their own benefits.
One side may hold social consensus; the other holds the coercive apparatus and the ability to legitimize itself on paper.
And so, the role of the people here (as people in other countries under authoritarian governments/rulers), is consistently pushed to the margins.
Therefore, the protracted electoral crisis is no longer just a dispute between two candidates or two parties, but a dispute over the right to define the outcome and the right to call a procedure “valid.” Venezuela has been, and continues to be, caught between legitimacy and validity.
When electoral bodies, courts, media, and security forces operate as checkpoints; the people can reject a government/authorities in the collective consciousness. But in reality, it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to do so.
The role of the Venezuelan people in the political crisis of the past decade is ironic.
The paradox here is not so much the will of society, as the capacity for that will to pass through a recognized procedure and become legitimate power.
