I want to tell you about my search for purpose as a journalist
0
17769
2921
Želim da vam govorim o mom novinarskom traganju za smislom
00:20
and how Dolly Parton helped me figure it out.
1
20714
3420
i kako mi je Doli Parton pomogla da ga otkrijem.
00:25
So I've been telling audio stories for about 20 years,
2
25038
2611
Dakle, već dvadeset godina pripovedam audio priče,
00:27
first on the radio and then in podcasts.
3
27673
1921
prvo na radiju, a potom u podkastima.
00:29
When I started the radio show "Radiolab" in 2002,
4
29981
3214
Kada sam pokrenuo radijsku emisiju „Radiolab” 2002. godine,
00:33
here was the quintessential story move we would do.
5
33883
2737
naš suštinski pripovedački postupak se svodio na sledeće.
00:36
We'd bring on somebody --
6
36645
1533
Doveli bismo nekoga -
00:38
(Audio) Steven Strogatz: It's one of the most hypnotic
7
38203
2594
(Audio) Stiven Strogac: To je jedan od najhiponitičnijih
00:40
and spellbinding spectacles in nature,
8
40821
2444
i najčarobnijih prizora u prirodi
00:43
because, you have to keep in mind, it is absolutely silent.
9
43289
3095
jer morate da imate na umu da je u potpunosti tih.
00:46
Jad Abumrad: Like this guy, mathematician, Steve Strogatz,
10
46409
2659
Džed Abumrad: Ovaj čovek, matematičar, Stiv Strogac
00:49
and he would paint a picture.
11
49092
1412
bi naslikao sliku.
00:50
SS: Picture it. There's a riverbank in Thailand,
12
50528
2299
SS: Zamislite. Postoji rečna obla na Tajlandu
00:52
in the remote part of the jungle,
13
52851
1573
u udaljenom delu džungle,
00:54
you're in a canoe, slipping down the river.
14
54438
2423
u kanuu ste, klizite niz reku.
00:57
There's no sound of anything,
15
57535
1421
Ništa se živo ne čuje,
00:58
maybe the occasional, you know, exotic jungle bird or something.
16
58980
3293
možda povremeno, znate, egzotična ptica ili nešto slično.
01:02
JA: So you're in this imaginary canoe with Steve,
17
62297
2325
DžA: U ovom ste zamišljenom kanuu sa Stivom,
01:04
and in the air all around you are millions of fireflies.
18
64646
3531
a u vazduhu svuda oko vas su milioni svitaca.
01:08
And what you see is sort of a randomized starry-night effect.
19
68201
4095
A ono što vidite je nekakav nasumičan efekat zvezdane noći.
01:12
Because all the fireflies are blinking at different rates.
20
72606
2960
Iz razloga što svi svici trepere različitim tempom.
01:15
Which is what you would expect.
21
75590
1501
A to biste i očekivali.
01:17
But according to Steve, in this one place,
22
77487
2691
Međutim, prema Stivu, baš na ovom mestu,
01:20
for reasons no scientist can fully explain --
23
80202
2682
iz razloga koje nijedan naučnik ne može skroz da objasni -
01:22
SS: Whoop.
24
82908
1150
SS: Vup.
01:24
Whoop.
25
84996
1181
Vup.
01:26
Whoop.
26
86924
1197
Vup.
01:28
With thousands of lights on and then off, all in sync.
27
88145
2928
Sa hiljdama svetala upaljenih, pa ugašenih, potpuno sinhronizovano.
01:31
(Music and electric sounds)
28
91097
7000
(Muzika i elektronski zvuci)
01:38
JA: Now it's around this time
29
98327
1436
DžA: Otprilike u ovom trenutku
01:39
that I would generally bring in the beautiful music, as I just did,
30
99787
3191
uopšteno bih uveo lepu muziku, kao što upravo i jesam,
01:43
and you'd start to get that warm feeling.
31
103002
2008
i sustizao bi vas onaj osećaj topline.
Osećaj koji je, kao što znamo iz nauke,
01:45
A feeling, that we know from science,
32
105034
1782
01:46
kind of localizes in your head and chest
33
106840
1920
nekako lokalizovan u vašoj glavi i grudima
01:48
and spreads through your body.
34
108784
1453
i širi se kroz vaše telo.
01:50
It's that feeling of wonder.
35
110261
1618
To je osećaj zadivljenosti.
01:51
From 2002 to 2010, I did hundreds of these stories.
36
111903
3240
Od 2002. do 2010. godine, napravio sam na stotine ovih priča.
01:56
Sciency, neurosciency, very heady, brainy stories
37
116693
3445
Naučnih, neuronačnih, veoma pametnih, priča mozgalica
02:00
that would always resolve into that feeling of wonder.
38
120162
2698
koje bi se uvek razrešile osećanjem zadivljenosti.
02:03
And I began to see that as my job,
39
123780
1639
Smatrao sam to svojim zaduženjem
02:05
to lead people to moments of wonder.
40
125443
2374
da dovedem ljude u trenutke zadivljenosti.
02:08
What that sounded like was:
41
128269
1484
A to je zvučalo ovako:
02:09
(Various voices) "Huh!" "Wow!" "Wow!"
42
129777
3808
(VIšestruki glasovi) „Ha!” „Opa!” „Opa!”
02:14
"That's amazing."
43
134094
1165
„To je sjajno!”
02:15
"Whoa!" "Wow!"
44
135283
2033
„Voa!” „Opa!”
02:17
JA: But I began to get kind of tired of these stories.
45
137340
3031
DžA: No, postao sam nekako umoran od ovih priča.
02:20
I mean, partially, it was the repetition.
46
140720
1953
Mislim, delom, radilo se o ponavljanju.
02:22
I remember there was a day I was sitting at the computer,
47
142697
2690
Sećam se dana kada sam sedeo za kompjuterom
02:25
making the sound of a neuron.
48
145411
1396
praveći zvuk neurona.
02:26
(Crackling sound)
49
146831
1151
(Pucketavi zvuk)
02:28
You know, take some white noise, chop it up, very easy sound to make.
50
148006
3319
Znate uzmete malo belog šuma, isečete ga; taj zvuk je lako napraviti.
02:31
I remember thinking, "I have made this sound 25 times."
51
151349
3865
Sećam se da sam razmišljao: „Napravio sam ovaj zvuk 25 puta.”
02:35
But it was more than that --
52
155238
2014
Međutim, radilo se o nečem većem -
02:37
there was a familiar path to these stories.
53
157276
2167
ove priče su imale poznatu stazu.
02:39
You walk the path of truth, which is made of science,
54
159467
2492
Hodate stazom istine, koja je sačinjena od nauke
02:41
and you get to wonder.
55
161983
1150
i dosežete zadivljenost.
02:43
Now, I love science, don't get me wrong.
56
163157
2028
Volim nauku, nemojte da me pogrešno shvatite.
02:45
My parents emigrated from a war-torn country,
57
165209
2123
Moji roditelji su emigrirali iz ratom razorene države,
02:47
came to America,
58
167356
1222
stigli u Ameriku
02:48
and science for them was, like, more their identity than anything else,
59
168602
4825
i za njih je nauka više bila poput identiteta nego bilo šta drugo,
02:53
and I inherited that from them.
60
173451
2067
a ja sam to nasledio od njih.
02:56
But there was something about that simple movement
61
176268
2469
Međutim, bilo je nečeg u tom prostom pokretu
02:58
from science to wonder
62
178761
1286
od nauke do zadivljenosti
03:00
that just started to feel wrong to me.
63
180071
1837
što je meni počelo da se čini pogrešnim.
03:01
Like, is that the only path a story can take?
64
181933
2118
U smislu, da li je to jedina staza kojom priča može da krene?
03:04
Around 2012,
65
184945
1654
Oko 2012. godine,
03:06
I ran into a bunch of different stories that made me think, "No."
66
186823
4253
naleteo sam na gomilu različitih priča zbog kojih sam pomislio: „Ne.”
03:11
One story in particular,
67
191466
1166
Naročito jedna priča
03:12
where we interviewed a guy who described chemical weapons
68
192656
4017
u kojoj smo intervjuisali momka koji je opisivao hemijsko oružje
03:16
being used against him and his fellow villagers
69
196697
2628
koje je korišćeno protiv njega i drugih seljana
03:19
in the mountains of Laos.
70
199349
1238
u planinama Laosa.
03:20
Western scientists went there,
71
200611
1936
Naučnici sa zapada su išli tamo,
03:22
measured for chemical weapons, didn't find any.
72
202571
2569
merili su tragove hemijskog oružja i nisu ih našli.
03:25
We interviewed the man about this,
73
205164
1627
Intervjuisali smo ga u vezi s ovim,
03:26
he said the scientists were wrong.
74
206815
1634
rekao je da su naučnici pogrešili.
03:28
We said, "But they tested."
75
208473
1405
Rekli smo: „Ali testirali su.”
03:29
He said, "I don't care, I know what happened to me."
76
209902
2460
Rekao je: „Baš me briga, znam šta mi se dogodilo.”
03:32
And we went back and forth and back and forth,
77
212386
2151
Pa smo se vrteli tamo i ovamo, tamo i ovamo,
03:34
and make a long story short,
78
214561
1888
i da skratim priču,
03:36
the interview ended in tears.
79
216473
1694
intervju je završen u suzama.
03:38
I felt ...
80
218981
1150
Osećao sam se...
03:40
I felt horrible.
81
220751
1150
Osećao sam se užasno.
03:43
Like, hammering at a scientific truth, when someone has suffered.
82
223036
3213
Inisistiranje na naučnoj istini, uprkos nečijoj patnji.
03:47
That wasn't going to heal anything.
83
227045
1952
To ne može da zaleči bilo šta.
03:49
And maybe I was relying too much on science to find the truth.
84
229021
4568
I možda sam se suviše oslanjao na nauku da dođem do istine.
03:53
And it really did feel, at that moment,
85
233918
1858
I zaista se činilo u tom trenutku
03:55
that there were a lot of truths in the room,
86
235800
2079
da ima mnogo istina u prostoriji,
03:57
and we were only looking at one of them.
87
237903
1935
a da mi samo gledamo u jednu.
03:59
So I thought, "I've got to get better at this."
88
239862
2191
Pomislio sam: „Moram ovo bolje da radim.”
04:02
And so for the next eight years,
89
242077
1571
Te sam narednih osam godina
04:03
I committed myself to doing stories where you heard truths collide.
90
243672
3558
bio posvećen pričama sa suprotstavljenim istinama.
04:07
We did stories about the politics of consent,
91
247254
2140
Radili smo priče o politici pristanka,
04:09
where you heard the perspective of survivors and perpetrators
92
249418
2881
gde ste slušali perspektive preživelih i počinilaca
04:12
whose narratives clashed.
93
252323
1207
čije su se priče sudarale.
04:13
We did stories about race,
94
253554
1253
Radili smo priče o rasi,
04:14
how black men are systematically eliminated from juries,
95
254831
2626
kako su crni muškarci sistematski eliminisani iz porota,
04:17
and yet, the rules that try and prevent that from happening
96
257481
2824
pa ipak, pravila koja pokušavaju to da spreče
čine stvari još gorim.
04:20
only make things worse.
97
260329
1200
04:21
Stories about counter terrorism, Guantanamo detainees,
98
261553
2540
Priče o kontraterorizmu, zatvorenicima iz Gvantanama,
priče u kojima su svi posvađani,
04:24
stories where everything is disputed,
99
264117
1776
04:25
all you can do is struggle to try and make sense.
100
265917
2341
sve što ste mogli je da se borite da shvatite smisao.
04:28
And this struggle kind of became the point.
101
268282
2682
A ova borba je nekako postala poenta.
04:32
I began to think, "Maybe that's my job."
102
272031
2396
Počeo sam da mislim: „Možda je to moja dužnost.”
04:34
To lead people to moments of struggle.
103
274451
1993
Da navodim ljude na trenutke borbe.
04:37
Here's what that sounded like:
104
277015
1468
Evo kako je to zvučalo:
04:38
(Various voices) "But I see -- I, like --"
105
278507
2087
(Više glasova) „Međutim, vidim - ja, kao -”
04:40
"Uh, I --" (Sighs)
106
280618
1301
„Uh, ja -” (Uzdah)
04:41
"Well, so, like, huh --"
107
281943
1992
„Pa, dakle, kao, eh -”
04:43
"That, I mean, I --"
108
283959
1420
„Smatram da, I -”
04:45
"You know -- golly -- I --" (Sighs)
109
285403
4143
„Znate - gospode - ja -” (Uzdah)
04:49
JA: And that sigh right there,
110
289570
2785
DžA: A taj uzdah baš tu,
04:52
I wanted to hear that sound in every single story,
111
292379
2740
želeo sam da čujem taj zvuk u svakoj priči
04:55
because that sound is kind of our current moment, right?
112
295143
3033
jer tako nekako zvuči trenutak u kom živimo, zar ne?
04:58
We live in a world where truth is no longer just a set of facts
113
298200
4366
Živimo u svetu u kom istina više nije samo niz činjenica
05:02
to be captured.
114
302590
1161
koje treba obuhvatiti.
05:03
It's become a process.
115
303775
1167
Postala je proces.
05:04
It's gone from being a noun to being a verb.
116
304966
2346
Prešla je iz imenice u glagol.
05:07
But how do you end that story?
117
307336
2083
Međutim, kako da završite takvu priču?
05:09
Like, what literally kept happening is we'd be, you know, telling a story,
118
309443
3857
Bukvalno se stalno dešavalo to da bismo, znate, pripovedali priču,
05:13
cruising along, two viewpoints in conflict,
119
313324
2183
krstareći duž dve sukobljene tačke gledišta,
05:15
you get to the end and it's just like --
120
315531
2698
stignete do kraja i prosto je poput -
05:18
No, let me see.
121
318253
1151
Ne, dozvolite da vidim.
05:19
What do I say at the end?
122
319428
1293
Šta kažem na kraju?
05:20
Oh, my God.
123
320745
1151
Oh, gospode.
05:21
What do you -- how do you end that story?
124
321920
2031
Kako završiti takvu priču?
05:23
You can't just happily-ever-after it,
125
323975
1770
Nema tu srećnog kraja
05:25
because that doesn't feel real.
126
325769
1508
jer se on ne čini stvarnim.
05:27
At the same time,
127
327301
1150
Istovremeno,
05:28
if you just leave people in that stuck place,
128
328475
2389
ako prosto ostavite ljude u škripcu,
05:30
like, "Why did I just listen to that?"
129
330888
1841
u stilu: „Zašto sam upravo odslušao ovo?”
05:32
Like, it felt like there had to be another move there.
130
332753
2556
Osećao sam da mora da postoji još jedan potez.
05:35
Had to be a way beyond the struggle.
131
335333
2610
Morao je da postoji put van borbe.
05:37
And this is what brings me to Dolly.
132
337967
3805
A to me dovodi do Doli.
05:42
Or Saint Dolly, as we like to call her in the South.
133
342254
2523
Ili Svete Doli, kako je mi sa Juga volimo da zovemo.
05:44
I want to tell you about one little glimmer of an epiphany that I had,
134
344801
3644
Želim da vam govorim o iskrici prosvetljenja koje sam doživeo
05:48
doing a nine-part series called "Dolly Parton's America" last year.
135
348469
3162
prošle godine radeći na devetodelnom serijalu „Doli Partonina Amerika”.
05:51
It was a bit of a departure for me,
136
351655
1681
Radilo se o iskoraku za mene,
05:53
but I just had this intuition that Dolly could help me
137
353360
3179
ali prosto sam imao predosećaj da bi Doli mogla da mi pomogne
05:56
figure out this ending problem.
138
356563
1753
da shvatim problem u vezi s krajem.
05:58
And here was the basic intuition:
139
358340
1754
A osnovno predosećanje glasi:
06:00
You go to a Dolly concert,
140
360118
1278
odete na Dolin koncert,
06:01
you see men in trucker hats standing next to men in drag,
141
361420
2698
vidite muškarce u kačketima kako stoje pored dreg muškaraca,
06:04
Democrats standing next to Republicans,
142
364142
1889
demokrate stoje pored republikanaca,
06:06
women holding hands,
143
366055
1151
žene se drže za ruke,
06:07
every different kind of person smashed together.
144
367230
2253
raznorazni ljudi svi izmešani.
06:09
All of these people that we are told should hate each other
145
369507
2865
Svi ti ljudi za koje nam kažu da bi trebalo da se mrze
06:12
are there singing together.
146
372396
1730
pevaju zajedno.
06:14
She somehow carved out this unique space in America,
147
374150
3420
Ona je nekako izdubila ovaj jedinstven prostor u Americi
06:17
and I wanted to know, how did she do that?
148
377594
2389
i ja sam želeo da znam kako je to postigla.
06:20
So I interviewed Dolly 12 times, two separate continents.
149
380007
4698
Intervjuisao sam Doli 12 puta, na dva različita kontinenta.
06:24
She started every interview this way:
150
384729
1771
Svaki intervju je započela ovako:
06:26
(Audio) Dolly Parton: Ask me whatever you ask me,
151
386524
2340
(Audio) Doli Parton: Pitaj me šta god želiš,
06:28
and I'm going to tell you what I want you to hear.
152
388888
2329
a ja ću da ti kažem ono što želim da čujem.
06:31
(Laughter)
153
391231
888
(Smeh)
06:32
JA: She is undeniably a force of nature.
154
392143
2657
DžA: Ona je nesumnjivo živa vatra.
06:34
But the problem that I ran into
155
394824
2278
Međutim, problem na koji sam naišao
06:37
is that I had chosen a conceit for this series
156
397126
4491
je što sam se, radeći na serijalu, vodio taštinom
06:41
that my soul had trouble with.
157
401641
2413
koja mi je uznemiravala dušu.
06:44
Dolly sings a lot about the South.
158
404078
1936
Doli mnogo peva o Jugu.
06:46
If you go through her discography,
159
406038
1635
Ako preslušate njenu diskografiju,
06:47
you will hear song after song about Tennessee.
160
407697
2270
čućete pesmu za pesmom o Tenesiju.
06:49
(Music) DP: (Singing, various songs) Tennessee, Tennessee...
161
409991
2888
(Muzika) DP: (Peva, više pesama) Tenesi, Tenesi...
06:52
Tennessee homesick ...
162
412903
1466
Nostalgija za Tenesijem...
06:55
I've got those Tennessee homesick blues runnin' through my head.
163
415150
4467
Osećam nostalgični bluz Tenesija kako juri mojim umom.
07:00
Tennessee.
164
420682
1114
Tenesi.
07:01
JA: "Tennessee Mountain Home," "Tennessee Mountain Memories."
165
421820
2858
DžA: „Tenesijevska planinska kuća”, „Planinska sećanja Tenesija”.
07:04
Now I grew up in Tennessee,
166
424682
1737
Odrastao sam u Tenesiju
07:06
and I felt no nostalgia for that place.
167
426443
2016
i nisam osećao nostalgiju prema tom mestu.
07:08
I was the scrawny Arab kid
168
428483
2995
Bio sam žgoljavo arapsko dete
07:11
who came from the place that invented suicide bombing.
169
431502
3282
koje je poticalo iz mesta na kom su izumeli bombaše samoubice.
07:14
I spent a lot of time in my room.
170
434808
2261
Proveo sam mnogo vremena u sobi.
07:17
When I left Nashville,
171
437093
1596
Kada sam napustio Nešvil,
07:18
I left.
172
438713
2135
otišao sam.
07:20
I remember being at Dollywood,
173
440872
1452
Sećam se kad sam bio u Dolivudu,
07:22
standing in front of a replica, replica of her Tennessee Mountain Home.
174
442348
3801
stajao sam ispred replike, replike njene planinske kuće u Tenesiju.
07:26
People all around me were crying.
175
446173
1739
Ljudi oko mene su plakali.
07:27
This is a set.
176
447936
2373
Radilo se o postavci.
07:30
Why are you crying?
177
450705
1167
Zašto plačete?
07:31
I couldn't understand why they were so emotional,
178
451896
2289
Nisam mogao da shvatim zašto su tako potreseni,
07:34
especially given my relationship to the South.
179
454209
2550
naročito imajući u vidu moj odnos prema Jugu.
07:37
And I started to honestly have panic attacks about this.
180
457356
2635
I iskreno počeo sam da dobijam napade panike zbog toga.
07:40
"Am I not the right person for this project?"
181
460015
2139
„Da li sam prava osoba za ovaj projekat?”
07:43
But then ...
182
463491
1150
Međutim, onda...
07:45
twist of fate.
183
465297
1150
obrtom sudbine.
07:46
We meet this guy, Bryan Seaver,
184
466471
1830
Upoznali smo ovog tipa, Brajana Sivera,
07:48
Dolly's nephew and bodyguard.
185
468325
2237
Dolinog nećaka i telohranitelja.
07:50
And on a whim, he drives producer Shima Oliaee and I
186
470586
3373
I iz čista mira, on je odvezao producentkinju Šimu Olija i mene
07:53
out of Dollywood,
187
473983
1278
izvan Dolivuda,
07:55
round the back side of the mountains,
188
475285
1984
skroz s druge strane planina,
07:57
up the mountains 20 minutes,
189
477293
1404
20 minuta uz planine,
07:58
down a narrow dirt road,
190
478721
1429
pa niz uski prašnjavi put,
08:00
through giant wooden gates that look right out of "Game of Thrones,"
191
480174
3192
kroz džinovske drvene kapije koje kao da su ispale iz „Igre prestola”,
08:03
and into the actual Tennessee Mountain Home.
192
483390
3531
pravo u stvarni planinski dom iz Tenesija.
08:09
But the real place.
193
489048
1349
Stvarno mesto.
08:10
Valhalla.
194
490421
1154
Valhala.
08:11
The real Tennessee Mountain Home.
195
491599
1577
Stvarni tenesijevski planinski dom.
08:13
And I'm going to score this part with Wagner,
196
493200
2156
I uz ovaj deo ću da pustim Vagnera
08:15
because you've got to understand,
197
495380
1627
jer morate da razumete,
prema predanjima iz Tenesija,
08:17
in Tennessee lore,
198
497031
1166
08:18
this is like hallowed ground, the Tennessee Mountain Home.
199
498221
2786
radi se o svetoj zemlji, tenesijevski planinski dom.
08:21
So I remember standing there, on the grass,
200
501031
2754
Sećam se da sam stajao u travi,
08:23
next to the Pigeon River,
201
503809
1841
pored reke Pidžn,
08:25
butterflies doing loopty loops in the air,
202
505674
2370
leptiri su poskakivali u vazduhu,
08:28
and I had my own moment of wonder.
203
508068
2266
i ja sam imao sopstveni trenutak zadivljenosti.
08:31
Dolly's Tennessee Mountain Home
204
511012
2746
Dolin tenesijevski planinski dom
08:33
looks exactly like my dad's home in the mountains of Lebanon.
205
513782
3763
izgleda baš kao dom mog oca u planinama Libana.
08:38
Her house looks just like the place that he left.
206
518023
3682
Njena kuća izgleda baš kao mesto koje je napustio.
08:42
And that simple bit of layering led me to have a conversation with him
207
522276
3299
I taj prosti delić raslojavanja me je naveo da razgovaram s njim
08:45
that I'd never had before,
208
525599
1258
kako nikad pre nisam,
08:46
about the pain he felt leaving his home.
209
526881
2110
o bolu zbog napuštanja njegovog doma.
08:49
And how he hears that in Dolly's music.
210
529015
2043
I kako on to čuje u Dolinoj muzici.
08:51
Then I had a conversation with Dolly where she described her songs
211
531082
3818
Potom sam razgovarao sa Doli kada je opisala svoje pesme
08:54
as migration music.
212
534924
1262
kao muziku migracija.
08:56
Even that classic song,
213
536210
1888
Čak i ta klasična pesma:
08:58
"Tennessee Mountain Home," if you listen to it --
214
538122
2547
„Tenesijevski planinski dom”, ako je poslušate -
09:01
(Dolly Parton "Tennessee Mountain Home")
215
541610
1961
(Doli Parton „Tenesijevski planinski dom”)
09:03
"Sittin' on the front porch on a summer afternoon
216
543595
4221
„Sedeć' na tremu u sunčano popodne
09:08
In a straight-backed chair on two legs,
217
548570
3754
na kuhinjskoj stolici na dve noge,
09:12
leaned against the wall."
218
552348
3540
naslonjena na zid.”
09:17
It's about trying to capture a moment that you know is already gone.
219
557356
4381
Radi se o pokušaju hvatanja trenutka za koji znate da je već prošao.
09:21
But if you can paint it, vividly,
220
561761
2746
Međutim, ako možete živopisno da ga oslikate,
09:24
maybe you can freeze it in place, almost like in resin,
221
564531
3619
možda možete da ga zamrznete u mestu, gotovo kao u ćilibaru,
09:28
trapped between past and present.
222
568174
2200
zarobljen između prošlosti i sadašnjosti.
09:31
That is the immigrant experience.
223
571039
2200
To je iskustvo imigranata.
09:33
And that simple thought led me to a million conversations.
224
573801
3151
I ta jednostavna misao me je navela na milion razgovora.
09:36
I started talking to musicologists about country music as a whole.
225
576976
3952
Razgovarao sam sa muzikolozima o kantri muzici uopšteno.
09:40
This genre that I've always felt so
226
580952
2413
Žanr za koji sam uvek osećao
09:43
having nothing to do with where I came from
227
583389
2071
da nema nikakve veze s mojim poreklom
09:45
is actually made up of instruments and musical styles
228
585484
2848
je zapravo sastavljen od instrumenata i muzičkih stilova
09:48
that came directly from the Middle East.
229
588356
1929
koji potiču direktno sa Bliskog istoka.
09:50
In fact, there were trade routes that ran from what is now Lebanon
230
590309
3777
Zapravo, postojale su trgovinske rute koji su vodile od današnjeg Libana
09:54
right up into the mountains of East Tennessee.
231
594110
2424
skroz do planina istočnog Tenesija.
09:57
I can honestly say, standing there, looking at her home,
232
597007
3809
Iskreno mogu reći, stojeći tamo, gledajući u njen dom,
10:00
was the first time I felt like I'm a Tennessean.
233
600840
3127
prvi put sam se osetio kao Tenesijanac.
10:04
That is honestly true.
234
604957
1467
Kunem se da je to istina.
10:06
And this wasn't a one-time thing,
235
606802
1687
I nije se radilo o jednom trenutku,
10:08
I mean, over and over again,
236
608513
1364
mislim, iznova i iznova,
10:09
she would force me beyond the simple categories
237
609901
3929
gurala me je izvan prostih kategorija
10:13
I had constructed for the world.
238
613854
1526
koje sam sagradio o svetu.
10:15
I remember talking with her about her seven-year partnership
239
615404
2821
Sećam se kada smo razgovarali o njenom sedmogodišnjem partnerstvu
10:18
with Porter Wagoner.
240
618249
1178
sa Porterom Vagonerom.
10:19
1967, she joins his band, he is the biggest thing in country music,
241
619451
4207
Pridružila se bendu 1967. godine, on je najveće ime u svetu kantri muzike,
10:23
she is a backup singer, a nobody.
242
623682
2437
ona je prateći vokal, niko.
10:26
Within a short time, she gets huge,
243
626143
2459
Za kratko vreme ona postaje senzacija,
10:28
he gets jealous,
244
628626
1159
on postaje ljubomoran,
10:29
he then sues her for three million dollars
245
629809
2793
potom je tuži za tri miliona dolara
10:32
when she tries to leave.
246
632626
1214
kada pokuša da ode.
10:33
Now it would be really easy to see Porter Wagoner
247
633864
2921
Sad, bilo bi zaista lako posmatrati Portera Vagonera
10:36
as, like, a type: classic, patriarchal jackass,
248
636809
3261
kao određeni tip ličnosti: klasična, patrijarhalna budala,
10:40
trying to hold her back.
249
640094
1312
koja pokušava da je zadrži.
10:41
But any time I would suggest that to her,
250
641430
2034
Međutim, kad god bih joj to natuknuo,
10:43
like, come on.
251
643488
1157
kao, ma hajde.
10:44
(Audio) This is a guy, I mean, you see it in the videos too,
252
644669
2826
(Audio) Radi se o tipu, mislim, vidi se to i na snimcima,
10:47
he's got his arm around you.
253
647519
1864
drži ruku oko tebe.
10:49
There's a power thing happening, for sure.
254
649407
3936
Imamo ispoljavanje moći, zasigurno.
10:53
DP: Well, it's more complicated than that.
255
653367
2537
DP: Pa, daleko je složenije od toga.
10:55
I mean, just think about it.
256
655928
1761
Mislim, samo razmisli o tome.
10:57
He had had this show for years,
257
657713
1588
Imao je taj šou godinama,
10:59
he didn't need me to have his hit show.
258
659325
3126
nisam mu bila potrebna da bi imao hit šou.
11:02
He wasn't expecting me to be all that I was, either.
259
662475
3534
Ni on nije očekivao da ću da budem sve što jesam.
11:06
I was a serious entertainer, he didn't know that.
260
666348
2964
Bila sam ozbiljan zabavljač, on to nije znao.
11:09
He didn't know how many dreams I had.
261
669336
3250
Nije znao koliko snova imam.
11:12
JA: In effect, she kept telling me,
262
672610
1675
DžA: U suštini, govorila mi je:
11:14
"Don't bring your stupid way of seeing the world into my story,
263
674309
3023
„Ne mešaj svoj glupi pogled na svet sa mojom pričom
11:17
because that's not what it was.
264
677356
1500
jer nije tako bilo.
11:18
Yeah, there was power, but that's not all there was.
265
678880
2944
Da, radilo se o moći, ali nije se sve svodilo na to.
11:21
You can't summarize this."
266
681848
1734
Ne možeš to da svedeš.”
11:25
Alright, just to zoom out.
267
685501
1516
U redu, samo da se udaljimo.
11:27
What do I make of this?
268
687041
1277
Kako da ovo shvatim?
11:28
Well, I think there's something in here that's a clue, a way forward.
269
688342
4191
Smatram da ovde počiva trag, staza ka napred.
11:32
As journalists, we love difference.
270
692557
1706
Kao novinari, volimo različitost.
11:34
We love to fetishize difference.
271
694287
1601
Volimo da fetišizujemo različitost.
11:35
But increasingly, in this confusing world,
272
695912
2436
Međutim, sve češće, u ovom zbunjujućem svetu,
11:38
we need to be the bridge between those differences.
273
698372
2841
moramo da premošćujemo različitosti.
11:41
But how do you do that?
274
701237
1533
Kako da to postignemo?
11:43
I think for me, now, the answer is simple.
275
703261
2809
Mislim da je sad za mene odgovor jednostavan.
11:46
You interrogate those differences,
276
706094
2349
Ispitate te različitosti,
11:48
you hold them for as long as you can,
277
708467
2524
držite ih se koliko god možete,
11:51
until, like up on that mountain,
278
711015
3174
sve dok se, kao na toj planini,
11:54
something happens,
279
714213
1201
nešto ne desi,
11:55
something reveals itself.
280
715438
1667
dok se nešto ne otkrije.
11:57
Story cannot end in difference.
281
717800
1905
Priče ne mogu da se završe mimoilaženjem.
11:59
It's got to end in revelation.
282
719729
1815
Moraju da se završe otkrovenjem.
12:02
And coming back from that trip on the mountain,
283
722277
2722
I vraćajući se sa tog putovanja u planine,
12:05
a friend of mine gave me a book that gave this whole idea a name.
284
725023
3412
prijatelj mi je dao knjigu koja je čitavoj ovoj ideji podarila ime.
12:08
In psychotherapy, there's this idea called the third,
285
728856
2594
U psihoterapiji postoji ideja koja se naziva treći,
12:11
which essentially goes like this.
286
731474
1590
a koja u suštini glasi ovako.
12:13
Typically, we think of ourselves as these autonomous units.
287
733406
3261
Obično o sebi razmišljamo kao o autonomnim jedinicama.
12:16
I do something to you, you do something to me.
288
736691
2665
Ja nešto uradim tebi, ti nešto uradiš meni.
