Cannibal Modernity: Oswald de Andrade's Manifesto Antropófago (1928)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-16 16:59:47

Perhaps a more revealing aspect of the Manifesto was the claim that: “Before the Portuguese discovered Brazil, Brazil had discovered happiness.” This statement conferred a local imprimatur on a vision that applied, and perhaps still applies, in Europe and North America of far-off Brazil as a kind of natural and human paradise, a place not only abundant, tropical, and permissive, but also one where race has become unimportant — a fantasy, of course, but one worth holding on to.

Germany's identity crisis: The trains no longer run on time

BERLIN — Germany: the land of beer, sausage and trains that run on time. Actually, make that the land where 56 percent of trains run on time. More precisely (or imprecisely, depending on how much of a rush you are in), the land where 56 percent of trains arrive within six minutes of the scheduled time — which is the cushion Deutsche Bahn, the national railroad company, allows itself for an “on-time” arrival. In Germany, punctuality is part of the national ethos. So to hear Germans talk about it

What we like about it: For those who want to avoid chemicals altogether, a lemon eucalyptus insect repellent is a gentler way to stave off bugs and their bites. I tried a few different lemon eucalyptus bug sprays, and Natrapel came out on top.
