Love taught me not to love
Bob’s new editorial (Falling In and Out of Love) is about love, or, better, about how to control one’s feeling… French literature gives us famous examples of thwarted loves due to State reasons (Berenice by Racine) or moral necessities (The Princess of Cleves by Madame de Lafayette). In each case, love does not triumph at the end but has to be sacrificed in the name of what must transcend the only selfish and individual desire or feeling… They all tell stories of renouncement; fewer are the stories that describe the pain felt after breaking up.
Why is it so difficult to let go a lost love and especially a love that one knows full well it is not suitable? Proust gives his own explanation of that phenomenon: “Talking about love, it is easier to renounce a feeling than to give up a habit” (La Prisonniere). Indeed, the narrator in the book, despite thinking for a long time about breaking up with his lover, once she’s gone before his call, just feels a great emptiness and the irresistible desire to go after her…
In The Dangerous Liaisons, Madame de Tourvel just dies after receiving the famous letter sent by Valmont but dictated by la Marquise de Merteuil, “Angel, this is not my fault…” Indeed, when a relationship ends, whose fault should it be? Who should bear the responsibility? At least one should know that people are not just here to do their bidding.
The end of a love relationship is like a small death. In French, we are used to saying “to do the mourning of a relationship” to describe the fact that someone has to come to terms with having split up. Indeed, it is not only the loss of the loved one that makes the situation so painful but also the loss of the comfort, the reassuring sensation of not being alone to face and discover the world…

Bendu, the Pied Piper...
Here I would like to introduce our mysterious guest: Bendu… Bendu is an unseizable being, a poet of modern ages who wanders on eRenlai, swarming his words and his colors... Unlike the pied piper of Hamelin, his melodies are not followed by rats but by pictures, poems or paintings: Here are his inks, colors explosions or lines guided by the blow of the spirit… Inks painting by Bendu.
And an oceanic poem for those who haven’t seen the sea for a long time…

Coup de flash sur l'environnement en Chine!
Voilà, je fais mes premières armes dans la réalisation de films flash avec cette présentation de Panzhihua, ville minière en Chine construite dans les années soixante. Le texte en anglais a été traduit d'un texte chinois composé par Liang Zhun, une photographe chinoise travaillant à Chengdu.
Je décrète donc le mois de la flash animation ouvert sur le thème de l'environnement en Chine! Pour que vous ne soyiez pas en reste, voici des liens aux flash animations de Sabrina Bourouga : La pollution de l'air en Chine, L'eau en Chine et les Forêts de Chine.
Ces présentations diverses dressent un portrait assez alarmant de la situation écologique en Chine et c'est vrai que l'on a tendance à tirer à boulets rouges sur le géant asiatique quand l'on évoque ces questions. Sans vouloir me faire l'avocat du diable et seulement pour rétablir un peu l'équilibre, je souhaite néanmoins rappeler qu'il s'agit surtout de prévisions qui doivent justement nous amener à agir et non pas à adopter une attitude fataliste. Claude Mandil, directeur de l'Agence Internationale de l'Energie (AIE) précise dans un communiqué de l'AFP (3 mai 2007) que "par tête, la Chine est encore très loin d'émettre autant que les Etats-Unis et même que les autres pays de l'OCDE", le problème étant plutôt le fait que les émissions de gaz à effet de serre chinoises "progressent plus rapidement que prévu et que des mesures doivent ainsi être prises".
Des mesures qui devraient avant tout être politiques et émaner des gouvernements selon une étude publiée le 12 juillet 2007 par la banque HSBC (!) : en effet, 68% des 9000 des personnes interrogées estime que c'est aux gouvernements de jouer le rôle principal. Cette étude révèle surtout que les chinois seraient plus préoccupés que les Européns par le réchauffement climatique... 60% des personnes interrogées en Chine, en Inde, au Mexique et au Brésil s'inquiètent des changements climatiques, contre seulement 22% au Royaume-Uni et 26% en Allemagne! Malgré un engagement très fort dans les luttes environnementales, les français sont aussi les plus pessimistes quand à l'efficacité de ces actions.

Eloge de l’ennui
« Soit un peu plus active, bouge ! », « ne reste pas là à ne rien faire » ; « rends-toi utile »… Combien de fois ai-je bien pu entendre ces injonctions dans la bouche de ma mère au temps où, adolescente, la moindre altération de mon univers familier suffisait à me plonger dans une rêverie, certes improductive, mais tellement plaisante… Lorsque j’étais enfant, les rangements saisonniers de notre chambre sous la baguette autoritaire de ma mère duraient des heures ; non seulement à cause du grand désordre accumulé durant ces mois de paresse mais aussi parce que chaque jouet, chaque livre retrouvé dans des endroits inattendus faisait naître entre mon frère et moi des discussions animées voire même des bagarres ou alors une méditation profonde sur les nouvelles perspectives ouvertes par ces objets que l’on croyait perdus à jamais ou dont on avait simplement oublié l’existence.
De fait, mon éducation se partage entre l’influence de ma mère, lève-tôt super active, ayant élevé deux enfants seule et pour ce faire, menant le foyer à la baguette (ma meilleure amie l’avait surnommée « le dragon Lily ») ; et celle de mon père, lève-tôt et couche-tard (avec une sieste dans le milieu), rêveur invétéré, vétéran des projets boiteux et aventureux. La première ne supporte pas de ne rien faire – maintenant qu’elle ne travaille plus, elle jardine furieusement, c’est-à-dire qu’elle fait des trous dans son jardin - ; le second vit assez bien son inactivité, tant qu’il a son quota de dents à arracher (mon père est dentiste) pour pouvoir mieux s’occuper de son temps libre.
J’ai ainsi appris de ma mère qu’il faut utiliser son temps à bon escient tandis que j’ai pris modèle sur mon père pour chérir mes moments d’oisiveté. Li-Chun, dans son article Free Time, nous rappelle combien parfois nous pouvons être désemparés quand nous nous trouvons soudain sans rien faire, nous voilà avec plein de temps devant nous, pour nous, et l’on n’a rien envie de faire : le nouveau polar de l’été nous tombe des mains, les ourlets des pantalons vont encore attendre un peu et en même temps, l’on ne peut s’empêcher de tourner en rond comme un cafard dans un évier bouché : on s’ennuie, on s’emmerde.
Ca ne fait rien vous dirais-je, au contraire ! Ennuyons-nous ! Tournons-nous les pouces puisque nous n’avons pas d’obligation particulière et que ce temps libre nous appartient… En outre, j’aime parfois n’avoir rien à faire et m’ennuyer car c’est sûrement un des seuls moments où je sens littéralement le temps passer. « Compter les heures », « regarder le temps passer », on ne mesure jamais mieux le temps que lorsqu’on attend, lorsqu’on s’ennuie. Evidemment, avec parcimonie sinon l’on risque de vieillir trop vite !!
Ca vous plairait de découvrir d’autres points de vue sur un sujet similaire ? Jetez un coup d’œil au nouveau focus de l’été sur eRenlai, intitulé « le Temps et Moi ».

Quantifying Peace and Happiness
Recently eRenlai relayed an analysis according to which armed conflicts in the world had actually diminished. A new index was released in May: the Global Peace Index (GPI) which ranks 120 countries of the world by their peacefulness and which also sets some drivers of their peace. Among the wide range of indicators (24) chosen to conduct the studies, we find: military expenditure, number of external and internal armed conflicts fought, level of respect of human rights, criminal rate…
As for me, I have observed that
-7 of the 10 most peaceful countries stand in Europe
-Many of the most peaceful countries have been very aggressive ones in the past (Japan ranks 5th for example, Germany 12th).
-Taiwan ranks at the 36th position, two ranks behind France (34th) but 24 ones before China (60th)!
There is definitively a move towards devising indexes helping us to tackle the challenges ahead. In 2006, the New Economics Foundation (NEF), located in the UK, published the Happy Planet Index (HPI) which aims to represent the relative efficiency with which countries convert the earth’s finite resources into well-being as experienced by their citizens. The calculation of the HPI is based on three indicators:
- ecological footprint, which measures how much land area is required to sustain a given population at present levels of consumption, technological development and resource efficiency, and is expressed in global-average hectares (gha).
- life-satisfaction which consists more or less in asking this question: “If you consider your life overall, how satisfied would you say you are nowadays?”
- and life-expectancy.
It is interesting to notice that both indexes share the same purpose: to quantify peace and happiness. Besides the GPI as well as the HPI displays the same purpose to build a strong link with matters of development and sustainability.
In both cases, the compilers or the developers of the GPI and the HPI emphasize the need for new indexes as it appears that measuring the income, the GDP of a country seems to be not enough anymore. Still, if the conclusions drawn after the HPI do not show a causation between richness and happiness, on the other hand, the GPI analysis draws a correlation between per capita income and peacefulness (mostly in the measure of internal peace). For example, the most peaceful country according to the GPI is Norway which appears to be 115th out of the 178 countries listed by the HPI. Is it also a “happy” coincidence that 9 of the first tenth happiest countries in the world are from Latin America (the second one being Colombia which ranks 116th for the GPI, i.e. among the lowest)?!
This still raises the question whether peace brings economic prosperity or the opposite.
Usually, we tend towards the first position. As Bob Ronald recalls it in his essay about justice: “Where there is justice there should be peace and harmony. To me a just world order would be one in which each nation respects the boundaries of other nations, the citizens of each nation have equal opportunities for education, health care, and employment according to their abilities and aspirations, everyone has adequate housing and financial security, citizens may freely travel from place to place, commerce between nations is flourishing honestly and properly.”
The equation becomes more complicated if we add the notion of happiness: is it peace that breeds economic prosperity which can leads in turn to happiness or is it economic prosperity which breeds peace and then happiness? Another version of the old story of the egg and the hen.

My Teacher the Ostrich
My present teacher of Chinese is a fine woman, she’s smiling all the time and she likes to go off track during the class. But there is still something that annoys me with her… I have already mentioned the “tofu generation” phenomenon in one of my previous posts, that is to say the fact that Taiwanese youngsters don’t feel any concern about politics, neither about the environment they’re living in, and are mostly obsessed with a successful career which would give them an enviable position in the society and the salary that goes with it.
One of my previous teachers of Chinese once told me that foreign students were more active, more independent than Taiwanese students who encounter big problems of adaptation when they enter the university. I think this time of adaptation is normal and most of my friends studying at the university seem perfectly happy and autonomous, as a majority of them live away from their family. In fact when I attended some second year classes as an auditor, what struck me more was the way students are taught. It was a class of social work in Taida (the National Taiwan University) and the teacher seemed to me incredibly motherly for a college teacher: she would first ask the students if they had read the papers (I don’t remember any of my teachers asking me that, they would just assume I had read it and if not… too bad for me!), if it was not too hard, if they were tired… I may be wrong but it appears to me that her teaching method was leaning towards treating the students like children. My experience in Taida was not that bad and, in fact, it can be quite nice to have a professor who does not simply enter the classroom to give her speech and then leave but encourages interaction with the students. But the other side of the coin is that sometimes it can be really boring and annoying, most of all when you wonder if the teacher is not thinking you're an idiot!
Like I said before, my actual teacher of Chinese likes to digress, her favorite subjects being her son when he was 4 years old – he is now 20 – and food or physiognomy. She believes for example that when your index is longer than your ring-finger, then you have an artistic nature, that if you have a mono-eyebrow, then you might be an obtuse person. When my classmate said these are superstitions, my teacher just very firmly replied that these come from a precise observation of nature and people… For having already heard these sayings I just accept them as part of the local folklore but it worsened when she started explaining us once that there are four seasons of three months each because the Earth is tilted etc… It is interesting indeed… for an 8 year old kid!
Well, as we seemed to have definitively put aside the short story of Bai Xian-yong that we were reading, we started talking about the situation of Tibet which lead us to Taiwan . As our teacher just remained silent all the time, we asked her about her opinion which was: “you know, it is so complicated that we’d better leave it to future generations.” No comment.
Once, my teacher described herself as being an ostrich for joking: a door had just violently slammed in the hallway and her first reflex had been hiding her face in her hands. My teacher is also extremely conservative: she only eats Chinese food, and thinks that taking a shower in the morning after waking up can endanger one’s life. In a time when Taiwan is promoting its cultural diversity, I’d rather ride a tiger than an ostrich…

En avant pour Kaoshiung!
Cela fait bien longtemps que je n’ai rien posté sur ce blog… Ca n’est sûrement pas une excuse mais j’ai été occupée dernièrement par la préparation de la conférence organisée par l’Institut Ricci à Kaoshiung, grande ville au Sud de Taiwan (voir article de Wikipedia).
Comment ? Vous n’êtes pas au courant ? Bon je fais un petit rappel pour ceux qui ne cliquent toujours pas sur les liens que je propose – les liens, c’est pas pour les chiens !
Au début du mois de Mai, eRenlai et le magazine Renlai ont décerné à 10 personnes les « Taiwan Life Sustainability Awards ». Ces prix récompensent l’action de ces 10 contributeurs à une « vie durable » à Taiwan et ils seront remis lors d’une cérémonie prévue en ouverture de la Conférence Internationale sur le Développement Durable et la Diversité Culturelle (25-26 Mai à Kaoshiung, Taiwan). D’ailleurs, le Focus du site propose 10 animations flash pour les présenter.
Ahh, est-ce plus clair maintenant ?
L’idée de la conférence est de traiter ce sujet à travers le prisme d’un dialogue Taiwan-Europe ; parmi les invités sont notamment attendus Joëlle Garriaud-Maylam, sénatrice, Michel Camdessus, l’ancien directeur du FMI et Jean-Claude Poimboeuf, le directeur de l’Institut Français à Taipei. Du côté taiwanais, vont intervenir Wu Jinfa吳錦發, vice-ministre chargé des Affaires Culturelles et Chen Youxiu陳郁秀, secrétaire général de l’Association Nationale Taiwanaise pour la Culture ainsi que Pinglu平路 (littéralement « Route Plate »), une écrivain taiwanaise. En bonus: la présence de Enele S Sopoaga, ambassadeur de Tuvalu (un micro-pays du Pacifique).
Pour plus de détails, vous pouvez visiter cette page (en chinois).
Pour ma part, je suis assez « extatique » (comme dirait mon pote Darren) de m’y rendre car j’y vais pour filmer les participants, les interviewer etc… En plus, je vais prendre le Taiwan High Speed Rail -le TGV taiwanais- pour la première fois ! (Je sais qu’il n’y a pas tant de quoi s’exciter, j’ai déjà pris le TGV des dizaines de fois en France…disons que j’ai été gagnée par l’enthousiasme ambiant).
En attendant de nouvelles aventures, portez-vous bien !
