Religião mestiça

1 Insulado deste modo no país, que o não conhece, emluta aberta com o meio, que lhe parece haver estampado naorganização e no temperamento a sua rudeza extraordinária,4nômade ou mal fixo à terra, o sertanejo não tem, por bemdizer, ainda capacidade orgânica para se afeiçoar a situaçãomais alta.7 O círculo estreito da atividade remorou-lhe oaperfeiçoamento psíquico. Está na fase religiosa de ummonoteísmo incompreendido, eivado de misticismo10extravagante, em que se rebate o fetichismo do índio e doafricano. É o homem primitivo, audacioso e forte, mas aomesmo tempo crédulo, deixando-se facilmente arrebatar13pelas superstições mais absurdas. Uma análise destasrevelaria a fusão de estádios emocionais distintos.

Euclides da Cunha. O homem/Os sertões. In: Obra completa. Rio de Janeiro: Nova Aguilar, 1995, p. 197.

1 Today, Ramses II’s burial site, the Ramesseum, is a vacant andrather sad place. The heads have been struck off the Osirian pillars.Fallen stones and broken sculptures lie scattered like the cast-off4playthings of a young giant. “Ozymandias” was one name for Ramses II. It was by thisname that the Romantic poet Percy Shelley referred to one of the7damaged statues, in his sonnet of that title. Shelley describes a stonecolossus, put up by a mighty ancient emperor in a bid for posterity: And on the pedestal these words appear:10 “My name is Ozymandias, king of kings, Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!” Nothing beside remains. Round the decay13 Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare, The lone and level sands stretch far away. The words of Shelley’s broken colossus speak of the fragility16and impermanence of empires and manmade things. Written in 1818, when Britain’s global hegemony was greaterthan ever before, “Ozymandias” expressed a timely and moving19indictment of empire. The Napoleonic Wars had left Britaintriumphant. But they had also left it with massive debts, widespreadunemployment, huge numbers of demobilized soldiers, industrial22discontent, and a visibly unrepresentative Parliament in need ofreform. The “Peterloo massacre” of 1819, at which soldiers openedfire on an apparently peaceful workers’ rally at St. Peter’s Fields in25Manchester, pointed to the uglier possibilities of the peace.It looked as if just the things that Napoleon had represented mightbe visited on Britain, too. “Ozymandias” held a mirror up28_________ Britain that reflected a frightening image _________ .

1 The BBC, Britain’s mammoth public-service broadcaster, has longbeen a cause for complaint among its competitors in television, radio andeducational and magazine publishing. Newspapers, meanwhile, have been4protected from it because they published in a different medium. That’s no longer the case. The Internet has brought the BBC andnewspapers in direct competition — and the BBC looks like coming7_________ best. The success online of Britain’s lumbering giant of a public-servicebroadcaster is largely down to John Birt, a former director-general who10“got” the Internet before any of the other big men of British media. Helaunched the corporation’s online operations in 1998, saying that the BBCwould be a trusted guide for people bewildered by the variety of online13services. The BBC now has 525 sites. It spends £15m ($ 27m) a year on itsnews website and another £51m on others ranging from society and culture16to science, nature and entertainment. But behind the websites are the vastnewsgathering and programme-making resources, including over 5,000journalists, funded by its annual £2.8 billion public subsidy.19 For this year’s election, the news website offered a wealth of easy-to-use statistical detail on constituencies, voting patterns and polls. This weekthe BBC announced free downloads of several Beethoven symphonies22performed by one of its five in-house orchestras. That particularly annoysnewspapers, whose online sites sometimes offer free music downloads —but they have to pay the music industry for them.25 It is the success of the BBC’s news website that most troublesnewspapers. Newspapers need to build up their online businesses becausetheir offline businesses are flagging. Total newspaper readership has fallen28by about 30% since 1990 and readers are getting older as young peopleincreasingly get their news from other sources — principally the Internet. In1990, 38% of newspaper readers were under 35. By 2002, the figure had31dropped to 31%.
