\u00cen anii de liceu \u00eel descoperisem pe James Joyce \u0219i devenisem un admirator al literaturii sale. De fapt, eram at\u00e2t de interesat de el \u00eenc\u00e2t m\u0103 hot\u0103r\u00e2sem s\u0103 particip la o olimpiad\u0103 de limba englez\u0103. Cu acea ocazie am c\u00e2\u015ftigat un premiu pentru un eseu care analiza lucr\u0103rile lui autobiografice. P\u0103strez \u015fi acum diploma de participare, care se afl\u0103 \u00een dosarul meu de documente \u015fcolare.<\/p>\n
\u00cen timpul acelor ani mi-am aprofundat cuno\u0219tin\u021bele privind proza lui Joyce, \u00een special cu privire la lucr\u0103ri precum<\/span>\u201cOameni din Dublin\u201d, \u201cPortret al artistului la tinere\u0163e\u201d, \u201cUlise\u201d<\/i>\u00a0\u015fi\u00a0\u201cVeghea lui Finnegan\u201d<\/i>. De\u0219i este considerat un autor apolitic, Joyce a fost, de fapt, simpatizant al mi\u0219c\u0103rilor politice radicale ale timpului s\u0103u, \u00een special anarhism, sindicalism (sindicalism revolu\u021bionar) \u0219i socialism, care, \u00een acei ani, au influen\u021bat scriitorii de avangard\u0103 \u00een drumul lor c\u0103tre modernismul literar.<\/p>\n \u00cen timpul anilor prezen\u0163i, dup\u0103 ce Donald Trump a c\u00e2\u0219tigat pre\u0219edin\u021bia american\u0103 \u00een 2016, respect\u00e2nd toate regulile jocului democratic, Statele Unite au \u00eenceput s\u0103 se confrunte cu o rena\u0219tere a mi\u015fc\u0103rii de st\u00e2nga, at\u00e2t cea moderat\u0103, c\u00e2t \u0219i cea radical-anarhist\u0103, st\u00e2nga fiind considerat\u0103 ca marele perdant al sus-men\u0163ionatelor alegeri.\u00a0https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Protests_against_Donald_Trump<\/a><\/p>\n Cur\u00e2nd dup\u0103 anun\u0163area rezultatelor a izbucnit o insurgen\u021b\u0103 a rebelilor anti-Trump \u00een mai multe ora\u0219e americane, printre care Baltimore, Oakland, Philadelphia \u0219i Portland. Rebelii erau pasiv-agresivi, manifest\u00e2ndu-\u015fi frustr\u0103rile de la pl\u00e2nsete la r\u0103cnete de m\u00e2nie, de la atitudini de rezisten\u0163\u0103 la comiterea de infrac\u0163iuni. Se pare c\u0103 \u00eenfr\u00e2ngerea i-a f\u0103cut s\u0103 uite rapid de regulile jocului democratic de putere. Acum, de\u0219i continu\u0103 s\u0103 se afle \u00een minoritate, perdan\u0163ii doresc s\u0103 schimbe din mers regulile jocului.<\/p>\n Am v\u0103zut scene desprinse parc\u0103 din universul lui Joyce.
