Press:       Do you have any proof? Acebes:    No, but i have no doubts! this says all..and thanks to the whole universe the spanish are not as stupid as those people want them to be: on the 14th - election day - Mister Mustache and his loyal following may go a while to the second row.. the night before the elections flash mops organized maybe the first political manifestation organized by SMS’..a new form of protest against disinformation!                                                  > article in german.. via 16beaver an e-mail from Sally from Madrid reaches us..don’t know her, but although we’re in Sevilla we know what she’s talking about ..Teresa is writing a short – german - text..reflection on what just happend..and also in relation to geografiaffettiva and why we consider it an important project..> ..absurdität territorial bedingter Konflikte in einer immer mehr deterritorialisierten gegewart, spürbar in der delokalisierung der konflikte. die attentate des 11s und 11m als ausdruck des verzweifelten festhalten an dieser identifikation mit territorium/kultur/religion und erzwingen des andern zurück in definierte grenzen. was heisst für das individuum der verlust der verbunden-heit, identifikation mit der nation? wie definieren und nehmen wir unser lebensumfeld wahr, wie prägt uns diese wahrnehmung, wie manifestiert sich die auflösung der grenzen in unserem alltag und welche neue territorien und relationen zu diesen entstehen. Europa als studienfeld dieses soziokulturellen phaenomens und geoaff als werkzeug zur erfassung dieser erosion/progresion des “territoriums”. terror – territorium . . . we’re working on new papers for geografia affettiva.. on its archive site.. Teresa is continuing the model after we decided more or less how we want to bring geografia affettiva into the BCD-space – no forest, but a system of hanging transparent and printed layers of maps, which we can inform with individual threads from each of us... 43Kb ...and again an e-mail from out of the open Renè circles.. the 16beavergroup announces that Michelangelo is in NYC..and in 16beaver... > Friday Night -- 03.12.04 – Michelangelo Pistoletto at 16Beaver ..again and again amazing and amazing how the world meets the world..and makes world.. ..and what links Malex always finds..today a visual meta searcher> http://www.kartoo.com/ ..type calcaxy.. ..or how we’re receiving these “sailing-mails”..on one side Marisa and Lois who really do it, on the other Luis who really does it too, but only screenwise > Querid@s amig@s Finalizada la 6ª etapa de esta vuelta al mundo virtual (pero no por eso exenta de trabajo y esfuerzo) os envío como de costumbre una pequeña crónica de la misma. La etapa comenzaba en Miami y el primer punto de paso obligado (Way point, "WP", en el argot) estaba situado en la isla Bermuda, el cual había que dejar por babor, para a continuación franquear el 2º Way point en Nueva York esta vez dejándolo por estribor y de allí ir a meta situada en Halifax (Canadá). Nuestra actuación en esta etapa ha sido más bien discreta ( no sé si por influencia del "triangulo de las Bermudas") pero el caso es que en el paso del primer WP quedamos cortos de barlovento y solo conseguimos remontarlo en la posición 40ª y ciertamente descolgados de la cabeza de la flota, a partir de ahí nada que objetar al resto de nuestra regata, al 2º WP llegamos alrededor de la posición 30ª y entramos en meta al fin en la posición 28ª. Resultado discreto pero que nos permite mantener la 1ª posición en la clasificación general a 10 puntos del 2º clasificado. La siguiente etapa será entre Halifax y Oslo en fecha aún por determinar y procuraremos no acordarnos de Bermudas. Como siempre os mando en un adjunto la “foto” finish de la regata.
