Iced Love Confused Thougts No Idea Of Myself

[ninfamusa]

En este vídeo repasamos las claves y grandes ejemplos del movimiento literario conocido como el "absurdo".

La literatura del absurdo es un movimiento literario que surgió en el siglo XX, principalmente en la década de 1950. Este estilo se caracteriza por explorar temas relacionados con la falta de sentido, la irracionalidad y la desconexión entre el individuo y el mundo que lo rodea. Algunos de los autores más destacados de la literatura del absurdo incluyen a Samuel Beckett, Albert Camus y Franz Kafka.

En estas obras, los personajes a menudo se enfrentan a situaciones absurdas y sin sentido, y luchan por encontrar significado en un mundo aparentemente indiferente. La literatura del absurdo cuestiona las estructuras sociales, la lógica convencional y la comunicación humana, y a menudo se expresa a través del humor negro y la sátira.

Un ejemplo emblemático de la literatura del absurdo es la obra "Esperando a Godot" de Samuel Beckett, donde dos personajes pasan su tiempo esperando a alguien que nunca llega, lo que plantea cuestiones existenciales y filosóficas sobre la vida y la muerte.

En resumen, la literatura del absurdo se caracteriza por su enfoque en la falta de sentido y la irracionalidad de la existencia humana, y ha tenido un impacto significativo en la literatura y la filosofía del siglo XX.

“It is vain to wish for happiness this year, but essential to work to construct it. Wish for nothing, but accomplish something. Do not wait for a destiny built from start to finish by others, when that destiny is still in our hands. Maintain the force and the lucidity necessary for forging your own well-being and dignity.”

— Final editorial from Le Soir Républicain, a paper Albert Camus wrote for, dated January 1st, 1940. Quote taken from Looking for the Stranger by Alice Kaplan. (via acknowledgetheabsurd)

Music Spotlight: Jez Dior

Jez Dior pulls together hip-hop, alternative, and pop into a powerful and personal patchwork, sharing his struggles and story with the world through his music. He’s always used music as form of therapy and encourages others not to be afraid about opening up. His new album, Handle With Care, is the story of the first 27 years of his life and is the difference between him joining ‘The 27 club’ and living. We got the chance to talk to him about his music and the importance of mental health so check it out.

Today is World Mental Health Day. If you could tell your teenage self about mental health, what would you tell them? 

That it’s okay to be different & it’s 100% okay to feel the feelings that you’re feeling. Also, to take a step back & breathe…getting caught up in the moment was very easy when I was younger & a lot of things escalated to a level where they didn’t need to because I was incredibly emotional at that age.

What inspired you to create music about mental health, particularly anxiety and depression?

I’ve always used music as an outlet & form of therapy. I really strongly disliked talking about my feelings when I was younger & found a lot of comfort in writing about my issues through lyrics & song. 

How do you deal with anxiety and depression? Any advice for those going through it?

I’ve learned that deep breathing & trying to slow everything down really helps. Life moves at such a fast pace, it’s very easy to get overwhelmed…I also find meditation & exercise incredibly helpful. For me, playing soccer is the best way to take my mind off of things & I always feel better after a workout.

Tell us about Handle With Care and what you hope people take away from it. 

I looked at this album as the opportunity to tell the story of the first 27 years of my life and also as an opportunity to be more honest with myself than I have ever been before. I have a voice that reaches kids all over the world & I feel responsible to give them the whole truth in hopes that they can relate to my story & take something positive away from it. 

In your opinion, what’s the most interesting thing about you that people may not know?

I’m deathly afraid of heights!

"If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life as in hoping for another life and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life."

[Albert Camus]

“The evil that is in the world always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence, if they lack understanding. On the whole, men are more good than bad; that, however, isn’t the real point. But they are more or less ignorant, and it is this that we call vice or virtue; the most incorrigible vice being that of an ignorance that fancies it knows everything and therefore claims for itself the right to kill.”

— Albert Camus, The Plague (tr. Stuart Gilbert)
