  1. Għażiż Karsten,

    Prosit tassew tal-artiklu tiegħek fit-Times of Malta! Qrajtu b’interess kbir u laqtitni ħafna l-mistoqsija filosofika li qajjimt dwar min għandu d-dritt jiddeċiedi x’inhi kultura “b’saħħitha”. L-aktar aspett interessanti, fil-fehma tiegħi, huwa l-paradoss li soċjetà tista’ tipprova tipproteġi l-kultura tagħha billi timponi standards li jispiċċaw jillimitaw proprju l-kreattività u l-ħsieb kritiku li jagħmluha kultura ħajja. Dan iġegħelni nistaqsi jekk kultura għandhiex titqies b’saħħitha għax tikkonforma ma’ ċerti standards stabbiliti, jew proprju għax għandha l-kapaċità li tiddubita minnhom, tisfidahom u, fejn meħtieġ, tibdilhom. Wara kollox, jekk l-arti għandha wkoll l-irwol li tqanqal mistoqsijiet skomdi u ġġegħelna naraw dak li forsi nippreferu ninjoraw, ma nkunux qed indgħajfu l-kultura meta nippruvaw nipproteġuha minn dak li jisfida l-konvinzjonijiet tagħna? Naħseb li din hija waħda mill-aktar tensjonijiet interessanti li joħorġu mill-artiklu tiegħek. Prosit ta’ veru! 👏

    Insellimlek, Jacqueline
