Richard Nilsen – “Cartological Myopia”
(I had to smile wile reading an article by R. Nilsen, cause… I think I understand him very well, one can’t explain the “issue” better than this, it’s exactly a kind of “cartological myopia” 🙂
“…An ideology is like a road map. It contains a schematized version of the world. It is always a simplified and distorted version. But “politics” is only the plethora of maps held by political enthusiasts. Politics, after all, is only one tiny corner of human consideration. Look at the range of literary theory, from Formalism through Structuralism to Post-structuralism, from deconstruction to neo-Marxian criticism. Each of them has its own roadmap and each ignores any tiny detail that might confuse the clarity of their ideology.
Or religion. No, let’s narrow it to Christianity. Or further, let’s narrow it to Protestant Christianity with its Methodists, Lutherans, Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Baptists — oh, heck, lets just look at Baptists. There are Free Will Baptists, Primitive Baptists, African-American Baptists, Landmarkism, Missionary Baptists, Fundamental Baptists, Progressive Baptists, Reformed Baptists, Sovereign Grace Baptists, Southern Baptists and Two-Seed-in-the-Spirit Predestination Baptists. And that only scratches the surface. Each is separated from the others by a map that emphasizes some single detail that serves as sufficient cause for a schism from some parent group…” — (Richard Nilsen – Cartological myopia, 2016)

IZOHIPSET E DHIMBJES
S. Guraziu, 2014
Endu relievit të dhimbjes,
pikëzoje çdo lartësi,
dmth. si pikë (mbishpirtërore),
lidhi horizontalet prej vijash
imagjinare, dhe voila…
do t’i kesh izohipset, pastaj
lugnajave ngjyrosi hijet gri,
pakëz më errët bëji thellësitë,
të tjerat lëri në dritë, luaj
me nuancat e çelura,
s’duhet dhe aq saktĂ«si,
aty-këtu improvizo, si
gjeografët e Aleksandrit,
si dikur kartografĂ«t e Cezarit…
me pafundësinë
e “saktĂ«” tĂ« perandorisĂ«.
