Chamem-me tudo o que quiserem e mais um par de botas! Até me podem chamar de bota-de-elástico! Mas eu juro que há coisas que me fazem sair do sério!
É que não entendo, melhor, desagrada-me profundamente, constatar que há quem saia de cursos relacionados com a captação de imagem, cursos profissionais ou cursos superiores, sem saberem em detalhe como funciona um diafragma ou qual a relação matemática entre os números que o compõem.
Caramba! Não estamos a falar de “amadores”, de pessoas que vão tratando o fazer de imagem como um passatempo de que gostam muito e que levam muito a sério. Estamos a falar de gente que irá fazer disso a sua profissão, que lidarão com o fenómeno da luz e seu tratamento diariamente.
E tenho para mim que saber que I=1/D² (variação da intensidade da luz com a distância) e que A=∏R² donde 2A=∏(√2*R)² (área do circulo e sua variação) é entender parte do comportamento da luz e como os mecanismos que usamos para a controlar funcionam.
Obviamente que não conheço ninguém ligado a esta actividade que tenha estas fórmulas sempre presentes ou que se ponha a fazer este tipo de contas cada vez que reposiciona uma fonte de luz ou altera a abertura de diafragma com que está a trabalhar.
Mas saber que elas existem, ser capaz de, em parando para pensar, chegar a elas para resolver uma situação mais elaborada, será vital ao conhecimento de um sério profissional da captação de imagem.
E não entendo como pode uma escola, de nível profissional ou superior, considerar apto alguém que não o saiba.
Melhor dizendo, entendo! São locais de aprendizagem “de carregar pela boca”, em que importa bem mais ter as turmas completas para que a facturação com as propinas resulte nos valores de lucro desejados pelos seus proprietários. E que as taxas de aprovação sejam suficientemente altas para agradar aos candidatos, sem passar pela maldita matemática. Será o hamburguer do conhecimento ou, se preferirem, o fast-knowledge.
Mas ainda ninguém me convenceu que esta frase está errada: “Se eu souber porquê, saberei como!”

In July 2012, the Alicia Ashman Library showcased titles featuring the history and literature of World War I in its Beyond the Page display. The Beyond the Page campaign is a joint effort of the Dane County Library Service and the Madison Community Foundation to create a permanent endowment that will support humanities programming in all 28 public libraries in Dane County.

Perhaps because of alchemy’s association with divine knowledge, Arabic alchemical treatises persistently appeal to secrecy: alchemists should avoid the transmission of recipes to greedy people whose main aim is to obtain riches rather than wisdom. As would their European followers several centuries later, Arabic alchemists used rhetorical tricks to conceal the secrets of the art from the uninitiated. In the introductory essay to his translation of the first 10 books of Jabir ibn Hayyan’s Kitab al-sab‘in (The Book of the Seventy), Pierre Lory underlines the author’s habit of “scattering knowledge” (tabdid al-‘ilm) by intentionally presenting alchemical procedures out of order so that only the initiated could understand how to read the text. Alchemical authors used a highly enigmatic language, marked by abundant metaphors and technical and allusive terminology, to describe their processes and ingredients. Like the Hellenistic alchemists before them, the Arabic alchemists referred to a metal by the name of the planet that was thought to exert influence over it, so that recipes included Moon for silver, Mercury for quicksilver, Venus for copper, Sun for gold, Mars for iron, Jupiter for tin, and Saturn for lead. Modern readers must bear in mind that even when the names of the alchemical ingredients appear identical to those used in modern chemistry, they rarely designate the same substance.
