Critical art is an art that aims to produce a new perception of the world, and therefore to create a commitment to its transformation. This schema, very simple in appearance, is actually the conjunction of three processes: first, the production of a sensory form of 'strangeness'; second, the development of an awareness of the reason for that strangeness and third, a mobilization of individuals as a result of that awareness. ↗

Ahora bien, porqué quiere él energicamente lo contrario, a saber, sentir plenamente la vida, sufrir la vida? Porque advierte que se le quiere enganar acerca de si mismo y que existe una espécie de pacto para extraerlo de su própria caverna: pero he aqui que se despabila, aguza el oído y decide. «Quiero seguir siendo mío!» Se trata de una terrible decisión; poco a poco lo irá comprendiendo. Ahora, en efecto, debe adentrarse en las profundidades de la existência com una serie de perguntas insólitas en los lábios: Por qué vivo? Que lección debo extraer de la vida? Como he llegado a ser lo que soy, y por qué sufro así? Se atormenta, y advierte que nadie se atormenta como él: antes bien, observa cómo las manos de sus congéneres se tienden hacia los fenómenos fantasmagóricos que muestra el teatro patético o cómo ellos mismos se pavoenean orgullosos portando cientos de máscaras: disfrazados de jovencitos, hombres adultos, ancianos, padres, ciudadanos, sacerdotes, funcionários, comerciantes, solitários todos ellos en su comedia general, sin conciencia ninguna de sí mismos. ↗

Those who plead their cause in the absence of an opponent can invent to their heart's content, can pontificate without taking into account the opposite point of view and keep the best arguments for themselves, for aggressors are always quick to attack those who have no means of defence. ↗

If it be true that our people represent a high percentage of mental vigor, the distinction is probably due, in some measure, to the extremely important part which Talmud studies have played in the spiritual life of the race. ↗
