01. O DIARIO DE TRAJANO DE MAGALHAES BARBALHO

APRESENTACAO

O texto dessa pagina foi extraído de um caderno de notas de TRAJANO DE MAGALHÃES BARBALHO (1890-1969). Foi duas vezes prefeito de Virginópolis – MG. A entrada mais antiga data de 1932 e a mais recente de 1964.

Existe a menção a 1930, data na qual inicia-se o período histórico brasileiro conhecido como Estado Novo. O que em realidade torna-se o motivo primário das anotações.

Essas notas, parece, foram feitas sem a intenção de publicar, e sim para deixar para os filhos uma lembrança dos fatos políticos que lhes atropelaram a vida. Elas versam primordialmente a respeito da politica interna do município, então, recentemente criado (09.03.1924) de Virginópolis.

A cidade anteriormente havia sido parte do imenso município da Vila do Principe (Serro) foi passado e retornado por Conceição do Mato Dentro, indo fazer parte depois do grande município de Guanhães (1875-1879).

Em 1924 Virginópolis adquiriu sua autonomia, levando consigo um território ainda grande, que mais tarde teria de si emancipadas 5 cidades: Divinolândia de Minas, Gonzaga, Santa Efigenia, Sardoá e São Geraldo da Piedade. Partes do município foram incorporados ao de Governador Valadares quando essa emancipou-se de Peçanha (1940).

Esses municípios se localizam no Centro-Nordeste do Estado de Minas Gerais, suas aguas fazem parte do Vale do Rio Doce e o antigo território em sua maior parte situa-se no platô formado pela Serra do Espinhaço, de onde as aguas se jogam em corredeiras e cachoeiras no vale profundo do rio mestre.

A diferença de altitude entre o leito e o platô, naquele ponto, se faz de uns 300 metros pelo menos. O que provoca diferenças de temperaturas ambientes consideradas quentes e húmidas no leito e temperadas e agradáveis nas

Arnaud Desplechin creates complex, intellectual films that have a strong emotional core. They have melodramatic elements and are elaborately written, directed, and acted. They are films for cinephiles filled with other cinematic references, a collection of familiar creative partners, and increasingly honing the techniques and approaches as his career has progressed.

The first film that I saw was Kings and Queen which is probably his most intimidating film. I read a review on Salon that said it was“an emotional blockbuster” and in seeing the film it introduced me to his work (as well as Emmanuelle Devos and Mathieu Amalric). It is an amazing film and I loved it all for the messiness and complexity surrounding some remarkable performances. At the core of the film are the relationships, but the main character played by Devos is an unreliable narrator and as the film goes on what she says and what we see diverge more. Amalric’s character lacks self-awareness and causes chaos to those around him. The sprawling and dysfunctional relationships are shown with their own peculiar secrets.

Desplechin uses a cinematic and beautiful technique with a letter written by one character read by the actor who looks directly at the camera. (He also does this in My Sex Life… Or How I Got Into an Argument, A Christmas Tale, and Jimmy P.) He is also deeply in love with cinema with references to other films throughout his own films (as well as scenes of characters watching films). Musically he uses the theme from Breakfast at Tiffany’s in Kings and Queen while for a sequence in A Christmas Tale he uses the score from Vertigo to accompany a scene that is an homage to a similar scene in Hitchcock’s film.

There are ghosts and dreams and visions throughout his films. In Kings and Queen a dead character appears in a dream and then reminsces about his life with the main character and then we go in to a flashback (or is it another dream?) which i

We had a big day ahead of us on our fifth day, an excursion to San Juan, Puerto Rico’s largest city. In order to maximize our time there, we woke up in Jayuya at 7am to the cacophony of all the rooster songs, enjoyed our early morning swim in the pool (well, Amy and I did), had our coffees, and quickly we were off.

We decided to focus our attention for the day on Viejo San Juan (Old San Juan), which is a historic section of town located on a tiny island to the northwest of the main city, connected to the rest of the city by bridges. All around town you’ll notice banners marking 500 años de la ciudad, as from September 2021 to June 2022, the city is celebrating its quincentenary, the city christened San Juan Bautista de Puerto Rico in 1521. (European invaders began murdering the Taíno several decades before this, of course.)

As usual, the drive to a larger city involved navigating the comically narrow and hilariously steep mountainside roads that continued to provide stunning views of Puerto Rico’s densely forested mountains. And, as usual, as we approached San Juan, the roads became wider and wider and faster and faster while still providing those incredible vistas. In previous posts, I’ve gushed and gushed about how exciting it is to drive in Puerto Rico, and that sentiment still hasn’t changed. That said, those of us who are less adventurous (more sensible?) might find these roads quite terrifying, indeed.

Arriving in San Juan, we parked our car in un estacionamiento on a street called Paseo Covadonga for $5 and began nuestro caminar en la ciudad vieja. What’s immediately and strikingly apparent as you walk through the narrow streets of Viejo San Juan is that this clearly is a city built by Europeans, and it wouldn’t look out of place in any Spanish city, a mixture of Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance, and Neoclassical designs, complete with building facades painted in exuberant pastels and adorned with ornate wrought iron balconies and window trimmings
