The Sketch about formation of the New Structure Of The Cultural Panel
- Time to create the new cadre of the cultural panel has come.
- I agree.
- To bring together bums, who are inhabitating near trash cans, - as that not comme il faut.
- I agree again.
- You need to focus on the cafe, where previously inhabited members of the Union.
- They still inhabit there now. That is, they try to dwell - in the presence of money.
- So. Here it is necessary to choose.
- I support this idea.
- First of all, from the homeless their difference is the ability to "to behave", "keep themselves".
- It is the truth. There are some gloss and a certain aplomb. In general, - a style. Light mysteriousness. He "knows a lot". Probably ... A mysterious look haughtily ...
- Secondly, those which in cafe, - they have personal stories. Brand. Each of them wrote something. What wrote, - you will already and not always remember. But somewhere names flashed. Something at someone has somehow got stuck in memory ...
In general, "writer" - the notion, on the one hand, honourable, respected. On the other hand, - it's the notion of an evaluation.
What does the "writer"mean? Does that mean he wrote something in a past? Does that mean he is writing now? That he's capable of living off the royalties?
There is no clear answer to these questions.
- Not!
- And it is clear that very few people give a literary product every day.
The breaks in creative activity are natural.
Yesterday he wrote. And today doesn't write. But tomorrow again, maybe, he will begin to write...
In general, not only the concept of "writer" - a notion of evaluation. But the moment of adding to the concept of a "writer" of the word "former" - this moment is also very subjective. Is he a" writer "or a "former writer"? Well ... let's think positively ... He's a " writer'...
- We collect them, and we say that they are 'writers'...
- Yes. But not only the mysteriousness and a brand are necessary. The loyalty is necessary.
- The loyalty is important. It's about money.
- And this money - is not a little. The public money, in some sense. The mysteriousness and brand are important.
- A loyalty - the main thing.
- So, third, - loyalty. I suppose that the citizens gathered in the traditional writer's cafes will have the necessary level of loyalty.
- Probably, so. In France, speak, it is accepted to write to cafe. Gogol remembered that, traveling around Europe, he during an inflow of inspiration could to concentrate and to write chapter of his poem in prose in a tavern.
- France ... Gogol ... Let's think factual. Earlier there was an environment. A literary environment. A self-regulating environment. All somehow were personally familiar. Even if you was not a talent, but inclined to literature, or you was a talent, but not recognized, there was an opportunity to get some technical positions in numerous editions, publishing houses. Salaries were not large, but the very involvement in a literary activities was continuing... If the person has been inclined to autonomous style of existence, then he could find option of the informal literary assistant ... To go somewhere from someone to a long creative business trip. The work in far peripheral newspapers helped out for someone. System of advance payments ... in extreme cases, there was a practice of the appearance nearby the cash desks on the day of issuance of honorariums... and of getting money in debt... In a word, somehow everything was rotating, although maybe not so easy...
Publishing houses, editions, - everything was state-owned. But such the cultural huge construction has been created that the vigorous, interested individual could find in it his the small place. Now the system of the organization and financing has exchanged cardinally.
The system has exchanged, but the people retained, wishing to be called respected word a "writer" and to somehow receive money from literary activity, or at least - from participation in a certain literary environment. As a rule, neither from their "writing", nor from their involvement in the "literary environment" they can not get money. There are some a "secrets" ... Sometimes there are scandals ... Let's lay aside the theme of "the "left", illegal circulations"... If not to go into detail and to simplify, so ... e-e-e ... 'public money' remained. For their correct distribution the loyalty is necessary.
- No doubt! Mystery, brand, loyalty, - the key to good public money.
- You need to quickly walk through the cafes - a former writer's cafes. And make a preliminary list of candidates for inclusion in the new structure of the cultural panel.
- Very timely task. It's time to pour, say so, new wine.
- All! Act!
- I start!
