民主主義と資本主義の発展により、物理的言語的国境はますます変化する.オランダは、地理的にサービス業や物流には有利な立場にあるが、欧州の他の国ではオランダ語を学ぶ機会さえ無い.フランスは特に言語と文化を同意語と考える傾向があるので、強い文化産業の発展という政治的意図もあり、国境外でのフランス語教育に力を入れている.一方、バスクのような政治的にも経済的にも言語的にも力の弱い文化圏は、消滅する運命にあるのか.もしかしたら、その言語にしかない概念や表現のおかげで、争う人間が和解できる術があるのかもしれないのに
The progression of democracy and capitalism pushing the linguistic frontiers we notice that country such as the netherlands which are geographically well positioned to expand service oriented businesses and commerce, yet linguistically they remain a minority and Dutch is hardly studied outside of its borders. France who always considered its language synonymous to Culture, plans its political and economical agenda accordingly. I wonder what would happen of us, if languages on the verge of extinction such as Basque possess concepts and words that would resolve our differences and halt humanity from fighting each other.

ニューヨークの国立図書館での討論会で、精神家のDrew Westenが「support our troops」(我が兵隊をサポートせよ)というブッシュのスローガンを分析.使った言葉の本当の意味を少し感情的に指摘する.
感情的になることは普段悪いニュアンスを持ちがちで、一方、理性はユニヴァーサルで、論理的、リテラルで、冷静であると信じているなら、それはすべて間違いである.
最先端の脳科学者
António Damásio博士が、理性・思考の98%は潜在的で、感情なしには理にかなった思考は出来ないと証明.理性的な思考には、感情は不可欠なのだ.
Western氏のように真理を語るには、ある意味で感情的になる必要があると思う.
Psychoanalyst Drew Westen develops his thoughts during a conference at the New York public library on the terms "support our troops" employed by George BushDrew Western is emotional in his monologue which is described as a negative factor in public speech.
we think reason is universal, logical, literal, right? wrong. According to the most renowned neuroscientist António Damásio there is no reason without emotions, emotions are a precondition to logical thoughts.and we see here a perfect exemple of this at work. And why all the presidential nominates ring so wrongand Drew Western's comment sounds so right.
Arnold Pasquierによる短編作品.題名は「見る.理解する、制作する、愛する、戦う、反抗する」多様な映画のタイトルシーンを編集しある文化としての映画の理想像を語る.もしかしたらフランスの作家だけが抱いている夢かもしれない.けれども、なんて美しい夢.
a sequence of movie titles edited by Arnold Pasquier in such a way that it is a hymn to a certain idea of a cinema wich is both cultural and diverse. Perhaps an ideal dreamt only by french authors, but it's such a beautiful dream.

Seeking you は
Jean-Julien Pous監督の香港への頌歌、デジタルとアナログなスタイルのハイブリッドでありながら具象的でもあり抽象てきでもあるとても個人的な感覚の旅である.
Seeking is a hybrid ode to hog Kong by Jean-Julien Pous.
figurative and abstract styles mix in an interesting fashion. it's a very personal sensual account.

I do not care what car you drive. Where you live. If you know someone who knows someone who knows someone. If your clothes are this year’s cutting edge. If your trust fund is unlimited. If you are A-list B-list or never heard of you list. I only care about the words that flutter from your mind. They are the only thing you truly own. The only thing I will remember you by. I will not fall in love with your bones and skin. I will not fall in love with the places you have been. I will not fall in love with anything but the words that flutter from your extraordinary mind.
Andre Jordanによるすばらしい言葉のインストレーション.

Lyrics since the music maintains karaoke-level accuracy imitation of the original track.
it's not
What you thought
When you first began it
You got
What you want
Now you can hardly stand it though,
By now you know
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
You're sure
There's a cure
And you have finally found it
You think
One drink
Will shrink you 'til you're underground
And living down
But it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
Prepare a list of what you need
Before you sign away the deed
'Cause it's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
It's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
No, it's not going to stop
'Til you wise up
No, it's not going to stop
So just...give up
