Acum traduc o legend\u0103 medieval\u0103 japonez\u0103 de 600 de pagini pentru Polirom.<\/p>\n
C\u00e2nd mi-au oferit-o, prima mea reac\u0163ie (nem\u0103rturisit\u0103 lor) a fost “S\u0103-mi fut una!” Av\u00e2nd din copil\u0103rie experien\u0163a Beowulf-C\u00e2ntecul Nibelungilor-C\u00e2ntecul lui Roland, m\u0103 a\u015fteptam la o gheial\u0103 luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuung\u0103 \u015fi extrem de trist\u0103, unde iubirea e f\u0103r\u0103 speran\u0163\u0103, unde toat\u0103 lumea unelte\u015fte \u00eempotriva cavalerului-geniu-ne\u00een\u0163eles \u015fi unde nimeni nu are nici m\u0103car o reac\u0163ie c\u00e2t de c\u00e2t uman\u0103.<\/p>\n
Zicem noi de “Apus de soare” \u015fi de filmele lui Sergiu Nicolaescu c\u0103 sunt l\u0103b\u0103reli apoteotice, dar uit\u0103m c\u0103 sunt tributare lungii tradi\u0163ii de l\u0103b\u0103real\u0103 apoteotic\u0103 din literatura european\u0103. Serios: pentru c\u00e2teva secole, literatura european\u0103 \u015fi via\u0163a real\u0103 n-au avut de a face nimic una cu alta.<\/p>\n
Chit c\u0103 m\u0103 a\u015fteptam la asta, am zis c\u0103 1.800 de euro pot sta foarte bine \u00een buzunarul meu. \u015ei am acceptat manuscrisul.<\/p>\n
Ei bine, povestea medieval\u0103 japonez\u0103 nu are nici \u00een clin, nici \u00een m\u00e2nec\u0103 cu gheiala medieval\u0103 european\u0103. Dar absolut deloc. Lipsesc cele dou\u0103 mari cli\u015fee europene:<\/p>\n
a) Idealizarea. Oamenii din saga japonez\u0103 sunt eroi, dar mai \u015fi m\u0103n\u00e2nc\u0103, fut, beau, sunt mahmuri, vomit\u0103, se ceart\u0103, se \u00eempac\u0103, glumesc, r\u00e2d, c\u00e2nt\u0103 \u015fi danseaz\u0103. Ca oamenii.<\/p>\n
b) Satirizarea exagerat\u0103. Tot ce era uman \u00een Europa trebuia s\u0103 cad\u0103 \u00een derizoriu. Dac\u0103 X e fanfaron, de ce s\u0103 nu \u00eengro\u015f\u0103m \u015fi s\u0103 nu caricaturiz\u0103m \u015fi s\u0103 nu exager\u0103m penal \u015fi grosier, h\u0103h\u0103h\u0103h\u0103h\u0103 ce ne-am mai r\u00e2s? Dac\u0103 tot ne b\u0103\u015fim, de ce s\u0103 nu b\u0103\u015fim tunete \u015fi eventual s\u0103 nu ne ias\u0103 \u015fi fulgere din cur, ca s\u0103 priceap\u0103 publicul referin\u0163a cultural\u0103 \u015fi s\u0103 r\u00e2d\u0103 \u015fi mai grosier, H\u0102H\u0102H\u0102H\u0102H\u0102. Deci, Europa medieval\u0103 nu avea cale de mijloc. Sau erai demn \u015fi nobil \u015fi b\u0103\u015feai petale de roze, sau erai hidos \u015fi meltean \u015fi r\u00e2g\u00e2iai cascade.<\/p>\n
Aici nu. Defectele sunt surprinse exact a\u015fa cum sunt ele. R\u00e2zi, dar numai \u00een m\u0103sura \u00een care un defect real genereaz\u0103 o situa\u0163ie real\u0103. Comicul nu p\u0103r\u0103se\u015fte nici o clip\u0103 zona verosimilului, a necesarului \u015fi a suficientului.<\/p>\n
Ceea ce face acest text medieval japonez o lectur\u0103 extrem de pl\u0103cut\u0103 \u015fi de accesibil\u0103. C\u0103 de exager\u0103ri (\u00een ambele direc\u0163ii) m-am s\u0103turat ca de mere acre.<\/p>\n
Buuuun.<\/p>\n
\u015ei acum urmeaz\u0103 partea cu sexul. \u00cen Japonia de atunci, sexul nu era “fructul interzis”, nu era tratat ca cine-\u015ftie-ce-mare-chestie \u015fi mai ales, nu genera etichete. Asta v\u0103d eu \u00een aceast\u0103 carte. To\u0163i fac sex, dar \u00eel trateaz\u0103 ca pe ceva natural. Neexist\u00e2nd restric\u0163ii, nu exist\u0103 nici mituri. Neexist\u00e2nd mituri, nu exist\u0103 nici obsesii roman\u0163ioase sau scabroase. Rela\u0163ia om-sex este una perfect normal\u0103.<\/p>\n
\u00cen Europa medieval\u0103, sexul, ca tot ce era uman \u015fi natural, era supus represiei \u015fi \u00eenlocuit cu norme morale. De aceea, el devenea o problem\u0103 at\u00e2t de grav\u0103 pentru eroii “c\u00e2ntecelor”. De aceea, personajele feminine sunt de exact dou\u0103 tipuri: Doamna Cast\u0103 \u015fi Curva Penal\u0103, f\u0103r\u0103 nuan\u0163e, f\u0103r\u0103 nici o leg\u0103tur\u0103 cu o femeie real\u0103. Pentru c\u0103 mul\u0163i autori de “chansons” nici m\u0103car nu apucau s\u0103 vorbeasc\u0103 m\u0103car o dat\u0103, cu curiozitate real\u0103, cu o femeie. \u015ei chiar dac\u0103 apucau: ele erau educate de mici s\u0103 reprime tot ce era uman, “pentru c\u0103 nu se c\u0103dea”. Nu v\u0103d nici o diferen\u0163\u0103 \u00eentre aplicarea unei astfel de educa\u0163ii \u015fi tradi\u0163ia barbar\u0103 a extirp\u0103rii clitorisului. E cam acela\u015fi lucru, doar c\u0103 pe plan spiritual.<\/p>\n
Iar unii dintre noi au r\u0103mas medievali p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een ziua de azi. Medievali \u00een sens european, nu asiatic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
