Usa vs John Lennon: 'Give peace a chance'

Usa vs John Lennon: 'Give peace a chance'

Le manifestazioni anti Vietnam e quelle antiproibizionismo, John Lennon e Yoko Ono, tutti vestiti di bianco, che protestano invece che con un sit in con un 'bed in', sdraiati su un letto candido invitano tutti a fare l'amore e non la guerra.

Il documentario Usa contro John Lennon , presentato alla Mostra del cinema di Venezia e da oggi nelle sale, è un interessantissimo spaccato della realtà americana sotto il presidente Nixon.

Racconta la vera e propria odissea durata 5 anni per John Lennon e signora per ottenere il loro permesso di soggiorno, 5 anni, un processo e una mobilitazione generale dei fan per dissipare la nube di dubbi e sospetti sul guru pacifista, troppo di sinistra per un governo che faceva la caccia alle streghe rosse.

E il documentario si chiude con quei quattro colpi secchi che misero fine al sogno e con una Yoko Ono matura che dice dice 'Hanno cercato di ucciderlo ma il suo messaggio è ancora vivo'. Give peace a chance, dai alla pace una possibilità.

Arriva al cinema Usa vs Lennon. Ce ne parla Chiara Ugolini

Poche settimane dopo l'uscita dell'album, dopo un pomeriggio trascorso in studio di registrazione, alle 22.50 dell'8 dicembre 1980, mentre il musicista rincasava con la moglie e si trovava di fronte all'ingresso del Dakota Building, il lussuoso palazzo in cui risiedeva sulla 72ma strada a New York, un giovane squilibrato di nome Mark David Chapman esplose contro di lui cinque colpi di rivoltella dicendo: "Hey, mr.Lennon!" Soccorso da una pattuglia di polizia, Lennon perse coscienza durante la corsa verso l'ospedale, dove fu dichiarato morto alle 23.09. Per ironia della sorte, proprio uno degli artisti che maggiormente avevano appoggiato il pacifismo nella storia della musica era morto di morte violenta.

Il curatore di it.Wikipedia ha la memoria corta: Martin Luther King, Gandhi, JFK ...
Proprio nessuna ironia...

La Peste della Psicoanalisi, in America (NYPS, USA), Working through the end of civilization

The New York Psychoanalytic Society is the oldest psychoanalytic organization in the United States. It was founded in 1911 by Dr. Abraham A. Brill and a small group of like-minded colleagues, who were excited by and committed to the revolutionary discoveries of Sigmund Freud and his students. Training in psychoanalysis was rather informal until 1931 when the Society established the New York Psychoanalytic Institute. It was the first psychoanalytic training center in the United States, and it has had a long and distinguished history. It was here that major advances in psychoanalytic theory and practice were made. The Institute was the professional home of many of the best known analysts of their time. These included Kurt Eissler, Heinz Hartmann, Ernst Kris, Rudolph Loewenstein, Charles Brenner, Margaret Mahler, and many others...

The analyst helps elucidate these for the patient, who refines, corrects, rejects, and adds further thoughts and feelings. During the years that an analysis takes place, the patient wrestles with these insights, going over them again and again with the analyst and experiencing them in daily life, in fantasies, and in dreams. Patient and analyst join in efforts not only to modify crippling life patterns and remove incapacitating symptoms, but also to expand the freedom to work and to love. Eventually the patient's life - his or her behavior, relationships, sense of self - changes in deep and abiding ways.

What is Psychoanalysis?

THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PSYCHOANALYSIS was founded in 1920 by Ernest Jones, under the direction of Sigmund Freud. It is a fully peer reviewed journal published six times a year (February, April, June, August, October and December) since its merger with The International Review of Psycho-Analysis in 1994. We now welcome contributions on

• Methodology
• Psychoanalytic Theory & Technique
• The History of Psychoanalysis
• Clinical Contributions
• Research and Life-Cycle Development
• Education & Professional Issues
• Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy
• Interdisciplinary Studies (for example, applications to and from psychoanalysis and literature, social sciences, linguistics, philosophy and the arts)

The Journal also publishes the main papers and panel reports from the International Psychoanalytical Association's Congresses, book reviews, obituaries, and correspondence, including correspondence from the Bulletin Board attached to this World Wide Web site.

It is the only psychoanalytic journal regularly publishing extensive contributions by authors throughout the world - facilitated by a system of international editorial boards and the policy of allowing submission and review in all main European languages, followed by translation of accepted papers at the Journal's expense.

The Journal is available online. Click here to access the Journal via MetaPress, our online publisher.
