Sandra Bullock and a resurrection of the institution

Today, knowledge, aesthetics and politics are produced and consumed in cultural shopping malls in as generic forms as possible, writes Swedish theatre director Anders Paulin. High time, therefore, to rethink and reclaim the institution as a necessary mediator between society and its citizens.

ATHENS — Leonardo DiCaprio’s face glowed triumphantly from a large billboard here atop the Athinaion, an old movie theater where “The Wolf of Wall Street” was recently playing. Mr. DiCaprio had just been nominated for an Oscar, and Vasilis Dimitriou had painted him larger than life, with a gleaming gold statuette against a sea of red and black brush strokes.

Did you know TIME didn’t always have a red border? It’s true. Back in March of 1923, when the magazine first hit newsstands, the cover was a white affair.

Του Νίκου Τσούλια

Μπορεί να υπάρχουν «σημεία» του Κόσμου που να σε συνεπαίρνουν, να σε ενθουσιάζουν με τον πιο νεανικό ρυθμό, να σε σκορπάνε στους ανέμους και να σου γεννάνε ερωτικά σκιρτήματα ψυχής, να ψυχανεμίζεσαι με κάθε υποψία του «σημείου» και να νιώθεις ότι του χρόνου το διάβα δεν μπορεί να αγγίξει τίποτα από ένα σκηνικό απόλυτου ερωτισμού; Μπορεί ένα πρόσωπο γυναίκας να είναι τόσο φωτεινό και να ακτινοβολεί μόνο πόθο και πάθος, μόνο γοητεία και αισθησιασμό; Μπορεί να έχει υπάρξει Γκίλντα;
