Strange relationship between culture and power (Brown Larosa)


All say they are sensitive to the state of research, 'health' of the public university and during times of turmoil if they are seen by teachers to come forward and stand in the front line against the government and drastic cuts on the side of his youth and the future. So convinced of the goodness of what they did students to leave no doubt: we are all united for a better future! As modern Napoleon persuaded many to have at heart the interests of those who struggle, so that one wonders: So what are the barons?




yet those who attended the long corridors of the departments wrapped in lights and shadows did not doubt the power of academic and scientific value reign supreme, despite everything. So while the university system suffered cuts and changes, the core of his problems seem to remain in the shadows. When talking to former students of this or that faculty, for example, to say the least troubling aspects emerge over which reigns the absolute silence and paradoxical. You now customary to say that the university is in the hands of the barons, but because this really the future of weights, training and research it can only be understood by analyzing the phenomenon of 'undeclared' thirst of academic power. Basically all indoor public even have their private vices, it goes without saying that the kingdom is not academic research culture and the ultimate goal, but the simple means by which attain a higher prestige.




can happen, so that a teacher calls a boy at the end of his studies, to prove his doctorate, the student is probably smart, but also it's just happened to happen at the right place at the right time and, therefore, without his knowledge is used as a pawn in games of academic power. Being able to establish itself as a professor in the eyes of their colleagues in universities and other academic institutions go from here: the ability to establish itself and to bring out the 'own' students, not necessarily because it best, simply the most useful at that time and in that particular context. The boy, perhaps unaware, perhaps an accomplice, lends itself well to a game that in most cases led him to win the contest doctoral positions at first, being able to perceive even the scholarship provided for the most deserving, and who is really interested to play the three-year slips of graduate studies at lower positions, or even out of the list is useful to carry out their research. No one openly admits this perverse mechanism, not yet sure rumors are those that describe this facet of the troubled face of the university.




Being able to bring their own students is the recognition of the prestige of the teacher by colleagues and becomes a vital affirmation of their importance in academic circles. Being a student should mean offer their work to research, test and improve their skills and their desire to pursue a path in such a context. But people who really have talent for research only rarely succeed in highlighting. Have a contest to win a doctorate is only what is most manifest are unable to perceive from the outside, as well as with an iceberg, what lies beneath, and then you can not see, is even more dangerous. Intellectually seduced by the professor to neo students begin to study, to develop ideas and proposals are also supported in the most extravagant, starting, for example, travels everywhere, obviously at the expense of the department which pertains both to reach foreign university libraries or even to participate in seminars. The idyll can last a day or more, but it is absolutely rare for more than three years. When you are abandoned in the middle of the experience of research activity becomes difficult if not impossible, it is a weapon of tenacity and will try to do their work in a dignified manner without any help. Very few throw in the towel and move on as best, even beginning to ask 'where is wrong, what happened, because things have changed'. The sense of humiliation and frustration are strong, but nothing compares to what falls on the shoulders of the unlucky when they are abandoned on the eve of the debate or immediately after.




He completed three years of intense study, seasoned Travel and opportunity comes when the teacher 'download' the student 'There is no place in the world of research, you could not take advantage of this opportunity', those errors are then read in its path, strange But the professor, who seemed so concerned about the future of his protege, it has not warned before! Truth demands that everything fits perfectly in the role play and power behind the need for personal affirmation of good measurement that exceeds the love for knowledge and wisdom. Going to sum up this game actually penalizes those who are led to academic studies, bypassed by those that comply with the rules more or less unconsciously submerged and cause unconsciously incalculable loss for research. Those accounts can and must do so, instead, are the departments that fund the education of kids who really have no chance of entering the academic world! Ultimately the only person without ending the budget once again, for which the barons became more important than the prestige of academic rather than a major role in the scientific world.

Theatre of appearing in society (Brown Larosa)


is a long time since it was believed that the theater was the place of masks in what is now the company likes to call the `appearances' seems there is no room for this exciting art form. It is now clear that the power of theater is not recognized in the contemporary world, despite the role that he had been granted, it was gradually replaced by new means common, so, if the tragedy in Ancient Greece had the task of `purify 'the public by the katarsi, today's modern means of entertainment and information passed to preferences and use theatrical activity. In a national climate of depression only those who really believe in this language can go forward and have the tenacity to bring innovative and interesting shows.


The Company Bruzio Ballet is a theatrical scene of the sort in Cosenza by the desire to create something innovative in this area. The theater was often receptor defects of man through the transpositions was entrusted with the onerous task of crystallizing and reveal the evils of humanity by creating a strong partnership between stage and audience. Taking this facet of the company Bruzio Ballet offers a musical, Barabbas, who last November 16 at the Teatro Morelli is now in its seventh representation. That proposal is a narrative rich and deeply moving, fluid, and at the same time full reflections, with a key to fast: it reflects on what is right and lawful to judge another man for his surgery without perhaps knowing the spirits, instill in each of us dwells the good and evil. In this paradox: the theater, the world of fiction has fallen into the real world where everyone wears a mask and judges with relative ease by the way! Such a strong musical background to the protagonist proposes that, in a first analysis, can be considered "anti-hero," Barabbas to recover the human dimension of good and evil, sin and purity. He, in his cell in what is believed to be his last night, goes into a flashback involving the most significant episodes of his life showing a naked, losing his mask is due to sinful man among men.
The musical, performed in Rome at the Greek Theatre, also received the applause of Renato Greek, and expert knowledge of the theatrical world.


the fascinating world of the theater we spoke with Paul Gagliardi choreographer and artistic director of Ballet Company Bruzio.



Despite the crisis facing the world of musical theater, of which she is the choreographer is enjoying considerable success, what is the secret? All of us
company we strongly believe in what we do, although we recognize be of the `mad 'because in this climate of latency invest our energies in a field perhaps too little considered. Yet the very fact of having believed we are giving the real satisfaction.


need to excite emotions, and yet do the choreographer means to transmit their ideas to the dancers, and `other people 'who will say what she thought. How do you find a meeting point?
The profound esteem against the corps de ballet is essential to know that each has something beautiful to give and give. In their individuality can give me so much and I always try to highlight their personal way of interpreting emotion. Not I enter the room with the choreography is ready, create floor plan, all together. It starts with an idea, one input, then it often happens that the `my 'movement on an even better dancer appears: unable to internalize and reflect even better what I was thinking the same!



a play, even better, a musical is made up of singing, acting and dance, but what's before you get to have an outline to follow?
Surely the basis of everything there is a deep understanding between the members of the board of the company followed by the cohesion and comparing free and constructive dialogue with all the others. Behind a show there is always a deep study and extensive research: the character first, then the locations of places. You dig inside themselves to find the right emotion, the one that absolutely must be shared in order to understand their point of view about the characters. The introspective work is the basis of what you take in the scene. Our company does not penalize an art for the other: the agreement of views between me and choreographer Antonio Conti, the director, has resulted in the total mix of dance and drama, which is not always possible to get. All point to the same purpose, to convey emotions to the public, we have achieved this cohesion but it took a long process of discussion to dispel the mistrust initial that, coming from two different worlds `', bringing with us.
