About Jorge Luis Borges
Roberto Pinto Corrêa
28/12/10
|
"Jorge Luis Borges transcends
history to make our world his
playground.
Challenging characters to play
their parts in scenarios created
as a reflection of his own moral
beliefs. Borges keeps alive the
tradition of crossing time, as
such, for the sake of literature
and art." |

Antipodean
Desire

The end of 2010 brings a
surprising change to our
regional politics with the
creation of "Auckland
super-city"
under a central-left government
backed by middle-aged
self-discovered ecologists.
Suddenly, the white-capped
residents of protectionist
neighbourhoods such as
Titirangi in west Auckland
have found themselves with far
more say that they bargained
for. 2011 in Auckland will begin
with a council made by a Mayor
and delusions of a
Toronto-of-the-Pacific type of
city.

Here are some examples of
solutions cities worldwide need
to adopt to ensure a sustainable
future for their citizens.
Without action now they risk
becoming dysfunctional
environments, where people face
extreme deprivation, shortages
of food, water and energy, and
are vulnerable to floods, heat
waves and other impacts of
climate change.

...Said to be happy are those
who pursue ideals and conquer
their space from the smallest
and most simple of all things.
People who are happy with their
choices, and others who have
learnt to enjoy theirs. If am I
a difficult person when it comes
to taste, I make no apologies. I
have an eclectic appetite for
ideas, which tends to oscillate
between innovation and common
sense -not in exact order.
