Viejas glorias, nuevas identidades, y emociones desconocidas

lavoisier.jpgSi me pidieran una máxima para definir esta primera década del siglo XXI en la que nos encontramos inmersos, yo me decantaría por reformular la Ley de conservación de la materia de Lavoisier: ni se crea ni se destruye, solamente se transforma. Y no hay más que ver las carteleras de los cines, las propuestas musicales, o los escaparates de las tiendas de ropa para comprender el sentido de mi afirmación.

Desde que George Lucas abriera la "caja de las precuelas" en 1999 con su Episodio I: La Amenaza Fantasma, el siglo XXI parece haberse convertido en un revival de viejas glorias y grandes mitos de años, que alcanza su culmen en estos días con el estreno de la cuarta entrega de Indiana Jones , vinculado esta vez a una roswelliana calavera de cristal.episodio-i.jpg

indiana-jones-4.jpg

En lo que respecta a la música del siglo XXI, se observa un fenómeno muy similar: ahí tenemos a The Police o Led Zeppelling en Gran Bretaña, y a Hombres G o Nacha Pop en nuestro país, por citar sólo cuatro ejemplos que llenan los estadios y rompen los corazones tanto de sus fans más nostálgicos, como de sus hijos e hijas.
Desde mi punto de vista, e independientemente de sus repercusiones artísticas, este fenómeno del revival está sirviendo de plataforma para la visibilización de una nueva categoría social (¿una nueva definición identitaria?) que unos años atrás quedaba reducida al más puro estigma social: el friki
rodolfo_y_bailarinas.jpg
Todavía no hay acuerdo en la definición de esta categoría -véanse si no las discusiones suscitadas en la Wikipedia al respecto-, pero por tercer año consecutivo el 25 de mayo se ha celebrado el Día del Orgullo Friki en distintas ciudades españolas, con conexión directa entre Belgrado y el Círculo de Bellas Artes en el caso de Madrid para dar ánimos al representante nacional en Eurovisión, concuso friki donde los haya desde hace años, por cierto.

 

He aquí por qué me decanto por la Ley de conservación de la materia para catalogar al siglo XXI: porque los viejos epítetos y las categorías estancas del pasado están sufriendo un proceso de reciclaje similar al del vidrio o el plástico, y lo que antes era "inútil", "ridículo", "vergonzoso" o "extraño" se convierte ahora en estandarte identitario no ya para un colectivo o una generación, sino incluso para todo un país, aún a pesar de la polémica suscitada al respecto.

Por supuesto, también sostengo que esta emergencia identitaria encuentra un caldo de cultivo extraordinario en el mundo digital, y muy especialmente en las redes sociales de Internet, que permiten compartir información y patrones de conducta a velocidades insospechadas, pero también ensayar facetas de personalidad en entornos "seguros" para la identidad analógica del usuario, que descubre la capacidad de hacer explícitas emociones tan intensas como la euforia, el orgullo o la animadversión sin arriesgarse a sufrir el ostracismo social por ello.

Sin embargo, aún parece que nos queda un buen trecho para que esas identidades virtuales adquieran una nexi-2.jpg aceptación social completa. O al menos, eso podemos afirmar al ver los comentarios que suscita en la web uno de los últimos trabajos de ingeniería artificial presentados por el MIT: Nexi, el robot social, llamado así por su capacidad para expresar facialmente algunas emociones básicas del ser humano.

    I observed that the vast majority, if not all, with the african-american students at my university commencement wore a particular type of stole. I did a some of investigation and discovered out that its called a Kente stole. Nevertheless, I was questioning if any you knew the historical background and purpose of your stole? Also, do graduates buy the stole for themselves or is it granted by the Office of Minority Pupil Affairs? I used to be perplexed as towards the historical past, objective, and distribution of your stole mainly because I observed from my friend’s current 2010 graduation, that nearly everyone also had on the similar Kente stole, which includes non-minority professors and students. Can anybody inform me much more in regards to the Kente stole?

    So not really on the same topic as your post, but I found this today and I just can’t resist sharing. Mrs. Agathe’s dishwasher quit working so she called a repairman. Since she had to go to work the next day, she told him, “I’ll leave the key under the mat. Fix the dishwasher, leave the bill on the counter, and I’ll mail you the check. Oh, and by the way…don’t worry about my Doberman. He won’t bother you. But, whatever you do, do NOT under ANY circumstances talk to my parrot!” When the repairman arrived at Mrs. Agathe’s apartment the next day, he discovered the biggest and meanest looking Doberman he had ever seen. But just as she had said, the dog simply laid there on the carpet, watching the repairman go about his business. However, the whole time the parrot drove him nuts with his incessant cursing, yelling and name-calling. Finally the repairman couldn’t contain himself any longer and yelled, “Shut up, you stupid ugly bird!” To which the parrot replied, “Get him, Spike!”
