Recíén terminada de leer En Busca del Tiempo Perdido, un proyecto al que le tenía terror, pero ha sido una experiencia única y vital. Genio, Proust.
Después de terminar la última novela de la serie, he visto la película de Raoul Ruiz en la que está basada, y no me podía creer que algo así pudiera ser llevado al cine, pero sí, Raoul Ruiz consigue comprimir en estos 162 minutos toda la serie, absolutamente esencial en el sentido de que recorre todos los momentos realmente importantes, con elipsis y movimientos de cámara que de alguna forma logran transmitir ese estilo de largas frases de Marcel Proust. Impresionada estoy por lo absolutamente perfecta que es. Claro, quizás el haberme leído las novelas me hace estar mucho más conectada al trabajo de Ruiz, pero así y todo es una obra maestrísima.
Le Temps retrouvé aka Time regained, 1999, Raoul Ruiz
Interesting articles about Napoleon and the smallpox vaccine
The vaccine was created by a British doctor, Edward Jenner, in 1796. The first large-scale mobilization of the state for distributing the smallpox vaccine to the whole population was Napoleonic France. The vaccine campaign proved to be very successful and was a great public health achievement. This initiative set an example for vaccination distribution and public health policy.
Some of the institutions created to distribute the vaccine:
Central Vaccination Committee
Central Hospital for Free Vaccination
Vaccinator-doctor of the children of France
Society for the extinction of smallpox by the spread of the vaccine
Provincial committees established under the supervision of the Department officiers de santé,
Hospices, charity institutions, and lycées were to vaccinate all individuals
To help encourage people to actually take the vaccine (some people hesitated due to fear or prejudice):
Newspapers were obliged to have their texts on the subject validated by the Academy of Medicine
Napoleon had his son vaccinated as an example
Vaccinations were mandatory in public establishments, schools, colleges and armies
Napoleon worked with the Catholic Church, and at baptisms, encouraged families to have their children vaccinated
Beaucoup de nos lecteurs posent parfois la question : qu’aurait fait Napoléon ? On ne le saura évidemment jamais. On dispose cependant d’un

The vaccine was distributed throughout the French Empire. For example, here is an article about the vaccine being distributed in Italy:
Smallpox vaccination in napoleonic Italy (1800-1814)
In Italy, the same as in France, the Napoleonic authorities:
Created the laws and administration for the vaccination system
Organized personnel to enforce the vaccination policy
Gathered data and statistics on the vaccine performance
Isolated cases of smallpox
Educated the public about the vaccine
According the World Health Organization, smallpox is the only human disease to have been eradicated so far. (Source)
fais. c’est un chemin long, difficile, parfois tu en auras marre mais à la fin tu liras comment charlus se fait enculer et qu’albertine a un public sex kink et tu aimeras. tu verras swann et saint loup (mes amours mes préférés mes chouchous mes tous petits) et tu voudras les frapper. tu ne supporteras plus le narrateur mais tu auras tout lu et tu te diras : quand même, c’est un banger.
Have to feed this tumblr somehow but it’s deadline time at the moment so let’s just repost from twitter this test.
I made it using the software EbSynth on some frame of Time Regained (1999).
Basically you give the software a video and a painted over frame of it and it does paint the whole thing for you. Kinda cool, but needed looot of retakes on my part tho.
It’s definitly a thing I’ll keep in mind for future stuff who knows :)
Di tutti i modi di produzione dell’amore, di tutti gli agenti di disseminazione del male sacro, uno dei più efficaci è certo questo gran soffio d’ansia che passa a volte su di noi. La sorte è segnata, allora: sarà lui, l’essere della cui compagnia godiamo in quell’istante, sarà lui che ameremo. Non c’è nemmeno bisogno che, prima, ci piacesse più di altri, e nemmeno altrettanto. Occorreva solo che la nostra inclinazione per lui divenisse esclusiva. E tale condizione si realizza quando – nel momento in cui non ne disponiamo – alla ricerca dei piaceri prodigatici dalla sua grazia si sostituisce bruscamente dentro di noi un bisogno ansioso che ha per oggetto quell’essere medesimo, un bisogno assurdo, che le leggi di questo mondo rendono impossibile soddisfare e difficile guarire – il bisogno insensato e doloroso di possederlo.
