The Argonauts, crew of the Argos Ship or constellations, seeking adventures that demonstrate the predestined right to power, had as their motto the precision of navigation against the undefinition of life . Exceptional humanity, to sum. Marx said “change the world”, Rimbaud said “change life”, Variações said, “Mudar de vida”. Man must be everyday, or he will not be. (Lefebvre) and if the “personal is political” and therefore the woman is the everyday life, which carnivals are those that I can enact in my day-to-day life – still nothing more than small gestures – that can equal those “impossible” missions of purposes bigger than life of the Greek epics; capable of changing my life, life and the world.
The tools of instruction, particularly the techniques when we can do nothing else that guide a predefined road, give the sensation of well doing, of making more precise someone else’s navigation. But the school landscape is arid, the navigating tools, capable of impregnate others, are in themselves sterile.
At this precise moment any of the characters of the last read romances, be it the cornaca in its way to Valladolid or Rambô by the hand of Myra , look me askance to worn me I am going to far and entering unknown soil. I stop then.
