00:25
You know, one of the intense pleasures of travel
0
25000
3000
Znate, jedno od najvećih zadovoljstava koje putovanja pružaju
00:28
and one of the delights of ethnographic research
1
28000
2000
i jedno od prednosti etnografskih istraživanja
00:30
is the opportunity to live amongst those
2
30000
2000
jeste mogućnost da živite sa ljudima
00:32
who have not forgotten the old ways,
3
32000
2000
koji nisu zaboravili stare načine,
00:34
who still feel their past in the wind,
4
34000
3000
koji još uvek osećaju svoju prošlost u vetru,
00:37
touch it in stones polished by rain,
5
37000
3000
dodiruju je u kamenju izglačanim kišom,
00:40
taste it in the bitter leaves of plants.
6
40000
2000
osećaju njen ukus u gorkom lišću biljaka.
00:42
Just to know that Jaguar shamans still journey beyond the Milky Way,
7
42000
4000
Samo saznanje da šamani Jaguara još uvek putuju dalje od Mlečnog Puta,
00:46
or the myths of the Inuit elders still resonate with meaning,
8
46000
4000
ili da su mitovi starih Inuita još uvek u skladu sa smislom,
00:50
or that in the Himalaya,
9
50000
2000
ili da na Himalajima
00:53
the Buddhists still pursue the breath of the Dharma,
10
53000
4000
Budisti i dalje tragaju za dahom Darme,
00:57
is to really remember the central revelation of anthropology,
11
57000
3000
vas navodi da zapamtite centralno otkriće antropologije,
01:00
and that is the idea that the world in which we live
12
60000
2000
a to je ideja da svet u kom živimo
01:03
does not exist in some absolute sense,
13
63000
2000
ne postoji u nekom apsolutnom smislu,
01:05
but is just one model of reality,
14
65000
1000
već je samo jedan model realnosti,
01:06
the consequence of one particular set of adaptive choices
15
66000
4000
posledica jednog specifičnog seta adaptivnih izbora
01:10
that our lineage made, albeit successfully, many generations ago.
16
70000
4000
koji je uspešno napravila naša vrsta, mnogo generacija ranije.
01:15
And of course, we all share the same adaptive imperatives.
17
75000
4000
Naravno, svi mi imamo iste adaptivne imperative.
01:19
We're all born. We all bring our children into the world.
18
79000
2000
Svi smo rođeni. Svi donosimo decu na ovaj svet.
01:21
We go through initiation rites.
19
81000
2000
Svi prolazimo kroz obrede koji slave početke.
01:23
We have to deal with the inexorable separation of death,
20
83000
2000
Svi moramo da se borimo sa neminovnošću smrti,
01:25
so it shouldn't surprise us that we all sing, we all dance,
21
85000
4000
tako da ne treba da nas čudi što svi mi pevamo, svi igramo,
01:29
we all have art.
22
89000
2000
svi se bavimo umetnošću.
01:31
But what's interesting is the unique cadence of the song,
23
91000
3000
Ali ono što je zanimljivo je jedinstvena rima u pesmama,
01:34
the rhythm of the dance in every culture.
24
94000
2000
ritam plesa u svakoj kulturi.
01:36
And whether it is the Penan in the forests of Borneo,
25
96000
3000
Bilo da su to Penani u šumama Bornea,
01:39
or the Voodoo acolytes in Haiti,
26
99000
3000
ili Vudu sledbenici na Haitima,
01:43
or the warriors in the Kaisut desert of Northern Kenya,
27
103000
4000
ili ratnici u pustinji Kaisut u severnoj Keniji,
01:49
the Curandero in the mountains of the Andes,
28
109000
2000
Kurandero narod u planinama Anda,
01:52
or a caravanserai in the middle of the Sahara --
29
112000
5000
ili karavan saraji u srcu Sahare,
01:57
this is incidentally the fellow that I traveled into the desert with
30
117000
2000
ovo je momak sa kojim sam sasvim slučajno putovao po pustinji
01:59
a month ago --
31
119000
1000
pre mesec dana,
02:00
or indeed a yak herder in the slopes of Qomolangma,
32
120000
3000
ili ovčar na padinama Čomolungme,
02:03
Everest, the goddess mother of the world.
33
123000
2000
Everesta, majke boginje sveta.
02:05
All of these peoples teach us that there are other ways of being,
34
125000
3000
Svi ovi ljudi nas uče da postoje i drugi načini života,
02:08
other ways of thinking,
35
128000
1000
drugi načini razmišljanja,
02:09
other ways of orienting yourself in the Earth.
36
129000
2000
drugi načini usmerenja ovde na Zemlji.
02:11
And this is an idea, if you think about it,
37
131000
2000
Ako razmislite o ovoj ideji,
02:13
can only fill you with hope.
38
133000
2000
može vam samo uliti nadu.
02:15
Now, together the myriad cultures of the world
39
135000
3000
E sada, zajedno ove bezbrojne kulture širom sveta
02:18
make up a web of spiritual life and cultural life
40
138000
4000
čine mrežu spiritualnog i kulturnog života
02:22
that envelops the planet,
41
142000
2000
koja obuhvata planetu,
02:24
and is as important to the well-being of the planet
42
144000
2000
i koja je jednako važna za dobrobit planete
02:26
as indeed is the biological web of life that you know as a biosphere.
43
146000
3000
koliko i biološka mreža poznata kao biosfera.
02:29
And you might think of this cultural web of life
44
149000
3000
Možete zamisliti ovu kulturnu mrežu života
02:32
as being an ethnosphere,
45
152000
1000
kao etnosferu,
02:33
and you might define the ethnosphere
46
153000
2000
i možete je definisati
02:35
as being the sum total of all thoughts and dreams, myths,
47
155000
3000
kao skup svih misli i snova, mitova,
02:38
ideas, inspirations, intuitions brought into being
48
158000
3000
ideja, inspiracija, intuicija koje je ljudska imaginacija
02:41
by the human imagination since the dawn of consciousness.
49
161000
4000
unela u postojanje još od samog nastanka svesti.
02:45
The ethnosphere is humanity's great legacy.
50
165000
3000
Etnosfera je najvrednije zaveštanje ljudi.
02:48
It's the symbol of all that we are
51
168000
2000
Ona je simbol svega što jesmo
02:50
and all that we can be as an astonishingly inquisitive species.
52
170000
4000
i svega što možemo biti kao neverovatno radoznala vrsta.
02:55
And just as the biosphere has been severely eroded,
53
175000
3000
Baš kao što je biosfera prilično uništena,
02:58
so too is the ethnosphere
54
178000
2000
isto se desillo i sa etnosferom
03:00
-- and, if anything, at a far greater rate.
55
180000
2000
i to, u znatno većoj razmeri.
03:02
No biologists, for example, would dare suggest
56
182000
2000
Ni jedan biolog, na primer, se ne bi usudio da sugeriše
03:04
that 50 percent of all species or more have been or are
57
184000
3000
da je 50 odsto svih vrsta ili čak i više
03:07
on the brink of extinction because it simply is not true,
58
187000
2000
istrebljeno ili je na rubu istrebljenja jer to prosto nije istina,
03:09
and yet that -- the most apocalyptic scenario
59
189000
2000
pa ipak, najapokaliptičniji scenario
03:11
in the realm of biological diversity --
60
191000
3000
na polju biološke raznovrsnosti
03:14
scarcely approaches what we know to be the most optimistic scenario
61
194000
3000
jedva da je blizu onoga što nam je poznato kao najoptimističniji scenario
03:17
in the realm of cultural diversity.
62
197000
2000
na polju kulturne raznovrsnoti.
03:19
And the great indicator of that, of course, is language loss.
63
199000
3000
A najbolji pokazatelj toga je, naravno, izumiranje jezika.
03:22
When each of you in this room were born,
64
202000
3000
Kada je svako od vas iz ove prostorije rođen,
03:25
there were 6,000 languages spoken on the planet.
65
205000
3000
govorilo se 6.000 jezika na planeti.
03:28
Now, a language is not just a body of vocabulary
66
208000
3000
Jezik nije samo telo rečnika
03:31
or a set of grammatical rules.
67
211000
2000
ili skup gramatičkih pravila.
03:33
A language is a flash of the human spirit.
68
213000
2000
Jezik je srž ljudskog duha.
03:35
It's a vehicle through which the soul of each particular culture
69
215000
3000
To je vozilo kojim duša svake posebne kulture
03:38
comes into the material world.
70
218000
1000
dolazi u materijalni svet.
03:39
Every language is an old-growth forest of the mind,
71
219000
3000
Svaki jezik je stara šuma svesti,
03:42
a watershed, a thought, an ecosystem of spiritual possibilities.
72
222000
4000
vododelnica, misao, ekosistem duhovnih mogućnosti.
03:46
And of those 6,000 languages, as we sit here today in Monterey,
73
226000
4000
Dok sedimo ovde danas u Montereju, polovina od tih 6.000 jezika
03:50
fully half are no longer being whispered into the ears of children.
74
230000
4000
se više ne šapuće deci na uši.
03:54
They're no longer being taught to babies,
75
234000
3000
Bebe ih više ne uče,
03:57
which means, effectively, unless something changes,
76
237000
2000
što znači, efektivno, ukoliko se nešto ne promeni,
03:59
they're already dead.
77
239000
1000
oni su već izumrli.
04:00
What could be more lonely than to be enveloped in silence,
78
240000
4000
Šta bi moglo biti usamljenije od toga da si umotan u tišinu,
04:04
to be the last of your people to speak your language,
79
244000
2000
da budeš poslednji čovek koji govori tvojim jezikom,
04:06
to have no way to pass on the wisdom of the ancestors
80
246000
3000
da ne postoji način da preneseš mudrost svojih predaka
04:09
or anticipate the promise of the children?
81
249000
3000
ili da očekuješ obećanja dece?
04:12
And yet, that dreadful fate is indeed the plight of somebody
82
252000
3000
Pa ipak, ta užasna sudbina je nečija neprilika
04:15
somewhere on Earth roughly every two weeks,
83
255000
2000
skoro svake druge nedelje negde na Zemlji,
04:17
because every two weeks, some elder dies
84
257000
2000
jer svake dve nedelje, neki starac umre
04:19
and carries with him into the grave the last syllables
85
259000
2000
i odnosi sa sobom u grob poslednje slogove
04:21
of an ancient tongue.
86
261000
2000
prastarog jezika.
04:23
And I know there's some of you who say, "Well, wouldn't it be better,
87
263000
2000
Znam da bi neki od vas rekli: "Pa, zar ne bi bilo bolje,
04:25
wouldn't the world be a better place
88
265000
1000
zar svet ne bi bio bolje mesto
04:26
if we all just spoke one language?" And I say, "Great,
89
266000
3000
kad bi svi pričali istim jezikom?" I ja kažem, "Odlično,
04:29
let's make that language Yoruba. Let's make it Cantonese.
90
269000
3000
neka taj jezik bude Joruba. Neka bude Kantoneze.
04:32
Let's make it Kogi."
91
272000
1000
Neka bude Kogi."
04:33
And you'll suddenly discover what it would be like
92
273000
2000
Odjednom biste otkriti kako bi to bilo
04:35
to be unable to speak your own language.
93
275000
3000
kad ne bi mogli da pričate svojim jezikom.
04:38
And so, what I'd like to do with you today
94
278000
3000
Tako da bih želeo ovde danas
04:41
is sort of take you on a journey through the ethnosphere,
95
281000
4000
da vas povedem na put kroz etnosferu,
04:45
a brief journey through the ethnosphere,
96
285000
2000
kratak put kroz etnosferu,
04:47
to try to begin to give you a sense of what in fact is being lost.
97
287000
4000
da pokušam da vam predočim šta zapravo biva izgubljeno.
04:52
Now, there are many of us who sort of forget
98
292000
7000
Mnogi od nas kao da zaboravljaju
04:59
that when I say "different ways of being,"
99
299000
2000
da kada kažem "drukčiji način postojanja,"
05:01
I really do mean different ways of being.
100
301000
2000
zaista i mislim drukčiji način postojanja.
05:04
Take, for example, this child of a Barasana in the Northwest Amazon,
101
304000
5000
Uzmite, na primer, ovo dete iz Barasane u severozapadnom Amazonu,
05:09
the people of the anaconda
102
309000
1000
ljudi anakonde
05:10
who believe that mythologically they came up the milk river
103
310000
2000
koji veruju da su po mitologiji potekli iz mlečne reke
05:12
from the east in the belly of sacred snakes.
104
312000
3000
na istoku iz utrobe svetih zmija.
05:15
Now, this is a people who cognitively
105
315000
3000
E sada, ovo su ljudi koji kognitivno
05:18
do not distinguish the color blue from the color green
106
318000
2000
ne razlikuju plavu od zelene boje
05:20
because the canopy of the heavens
107
320000
2000
jer je nebeski svod
05:22
is equated to the canopy of the forest
108
322000
1000
u stvari šumski svodu
05:23
upon which the people depend.
109
323000
2000
od kojih ljudi zavise.
05:25
They have a curious language and marriage rule
110
325000
3000
Imaju interesantan jezik i pravila braka
05:28
which is called "linguistic exogamy:"
111
328000
2000
koji se zove "lingvistička egzogamija":
05:30
you must marry someone who speaks a different language.
112
330000
3000
moraš se venčati za osobu koja govori drugim jezikom.
05:33
And this is all rooted in the mythological past,
113
333000
2000
A sve to ima svoje korene u mitologiji,
05:35
yet the curious thing is in these long houses,
114
335000
2000
pa ipak zanimljivo je to što u ovim dugačkim kućama,
05:37
where there are six or seven languages spoken
115
337000
2000
u kojima se govori po šest ili sedam jezika
05:39
because of intermarriage,
116
339000
2000
zbog takvih brakova,
05:41
you never hear anyone practicing a language.
117
341000
3000
nikada nećete čuti da neko vežba jezik.
05:44
They simply listen and then begin to speak.
118
344000
3000
Oni prosto slušaju i počnu da govore.
05:47
Or, one of the most fascinating tribes I ever lived with,
119
347000
2000
Ili, jedno od najfascinantnijih plemena sa kojima sam ikada živeo,
05:49
the Waorani of northeastern Ecuador,
120
349000
4000
Vaorani u severoistočnom Ekvadoru,
05:53
an astonishing people first contacted peacefully in 1958.
121
353000
3000
zadivljujući ljudi sa kojima je prvi kontakt mirno ostvaren 1958.
05:56
In 1957, five missionaries attempted contact
122
356000
4000
1957. je pet misionara pokušalo da ostvari kontakt
06:00
and made a critical mistake.
123
360000
1000
i napravili su strašnu grešku.
06:01
They dropped from the air
124
361000
1000
Spustili su im iz vazduha
06:02
8 x 10 glossy photographs of themselves
125
362000
2000
8 x 10 sjajnih fotografija njih samih,
06:04
in what we would say to be friendly gestures,
126
364000
2000
što bismo mi nazvali prijateljskim gestom,
06:06
forgetting that these people of the rainforest
127
366000
2000
zaboravljajući da ovi ljudi iz kišnih šuma
06:08
had never seen anything two-dimensional in their lives.
128
368000
3000
nikada nisu videli ništa dvodimenzionalno u svojim životima.
06:11
They picked up these photographs from the forest floor,
129
371000
2000
Podigli su ove fotografije sa šumskog tla,
06:13
tried to look behind the face to find the form or the figure,
130
373000
3000
pokušali da pogledaju iza lica da vide oblik figure,
06:16
found nothing, and concluded that these were calling cards
131
376000
2000
ništa nisu pronašli, i zaključili su da su ove karte
06:18
from the devil, so they speared the five missionaries to death.
132
378000
3000
od samog đavola, i potom su kopljima ubili pet misionara.
06:22
But the Waorani didn't just spear outsiders.
133
382000
2000
Ali Vaorani nisu samo kopljima ubili pridošlice.
06:24
They speared each other.
134
384000
1000
Ubijali su se i međusobno.
06:25
54 percent of their mortality was due to them spearing each other.
135
385000
3000
54 procenta mortaliteta je posledica međusobnog ubijanja kopljima.
06:28
We traced genealogies back eight generations,
136
388000
3000
Pratili smo genealogiju unazad osam generacija,
06:31
and we found two instances of natural death
137
391000
2000
i pronašli smo samo dva slučaja prirodne smrti
06:33
and when we pressured the people a little bit about it,
138
393000
2000
i kada smo pritisli malo ljude o tome,
06:35
they admitted that one of the fellows had gotten so old
139
395000
2000
priznali su da je jedan od njih toliko ostario
06:37
that he died getting old, so we speared him anyway. (Laughter)
140
397000
4000
da je umro od starosti, ali su ga svejedno proboli kopljima. (Smeh)
06:41
But at the same time they had a perspicacious knowledge
141
401000
3000
Ali u isto vreme oni su imali vrlo pronicljivo znanje
06:44
of the forest that was astonishing.
142
404000
1000
o šumi koje je bilo zadivljujuće.
06:45
Their hunters could smell animal urine at 40 paces
143
405000
3000
Njihovi lovci su bili u stanju da namirišu životinjski urin na 40 koraka
06:48
and tell you what species left it behind.
144
408000
3000
i da vam kažu o kojoj vrsti se radi.
06:51
In the early '80s, I had a really astonishing assignment
145
411000
2000
Ranih '80. preuzeo sam jedan neverovatan zadatak
06:53
when I was asked by my professor at Harvard
146
413000
2000
kada me je profesor sa Harvarda pitao
06:55
if I was interested in going down to Haiti,
147
415000
2000
da li sam zainteresovan da idem na Haiti,
06:58
infiltrating the secret societies
148
418000
2000
da se uključim u tajna društva
07:00
which were the foundation of Duvalier's strength
149
420000
2000
koja su bila osnova Duvalijerovih snaga
07:02
and Tonton Macoutes,
150
422000
1000
i Tontona Makutesa,
07:03
and securing the poison used to make zombies.
151
423000
3000
kako bih došao do otrova koji se koristi za stvaranje zombija.
07:06
In order to make sense out of sensation, of course,
152
426000
3000
Da bih našao smisao u ovome, naravno,
07:09
I had to understand something about this remarkable faith
153
429000
3000
morao sam da razumem ponešto u vezi sa neverovatnom Vudu
07:12
of Vodoun. And Voodoo is not a black magic cult.
154
432000
3000
verom. Vudu nije kult crne magije.
07:15
On the contrary, it's a complex metaphysical worldview.
155
435000
3000
Naprotiv, to je složeni metafizički pogled na svet.
07:18
It's interesting.
156
438000
1000
Interesantno je.
07:19
If I asked you to name the great religions of the world,
157
439000
1000
Kada bih vas pitao da navedete najveće svetske religije,
07:20
what would you say?
158
440000
1000
šta biste rekli?
07:21
Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, whatever.
159
441000
3000
Hrišćanstvo, islam, budizam, judaizam, šta god.
07:24
There's always one continent left out,
160
444000
2000
Uvek je jedan kontinent izostavljen,
07:26
the assumption being that sub-Saharan Africa
161
446000
2000
pretpostavlja se da podsaharska Afrika
07:28
had no religious beliefs. Well, of course, they did
162
448000
2000
nije imala religijskih verovanja. Pa, naravno, imali su,
07:30
and Voodoo is simply the distillation
163
450000
2000
i Vudu je jednostavno proizvod
07:33
of these very profound religious ideas
164
453000
1000
veoma ozbiljnih religioznih ideja
07:34
that came over during the tragic Diaspora of the slavery era.
165
454000
3000
koje su nastale tokom tragičnog robovlasničkog perioda provedenog u dijaspori.
07:37
But, what makes Voodoo so interesting
166
457000
2000
Ali, ono što čini Vudu zanimljivim
07:39
is that it's this living relationship
167
459000
2000
jeste to da je to aktivan odnos
07:41
between the living and the dead.
168
461000
1000
između živih i mrtvih.
07:42
So, the living give birth to the spirits.
169
462000
1000
Živi oživljavaju duhove.
07:43
The spirits can be invoked from beneath the Great Water,
170
463000
3000
Duhovi mogu biti prizvani iz Velike Vode,
07:46
responding to the rhythm of the dance
171
466000
2000
odgovarajući na ritam plesa
07:48
to momentarily displace the soul of the living,
172
468000
2000
oni momentalno zamenjuju duše živih,
07:50
so that for that brief shining moment, the acolyte becomes the god.
173
470000
4000
tako da u kratkom, blistavom momentu, sledbenik postaje bog.
07:54
That's why the Voodooists like to say
174
474000
2000
Zbog toga sledbenici Vudua vole da kažu:
07:56
that "You white people go to church and speak about God.
175
476000
3000
"Vi beli ljudi idete u crkvu i pričate o Bogu.
07:59
We dance in the temple and become God."
176
479000
2000
Mi plešemo u hramu i postajemo Bog".
08:01
And because you are possessed, you are taken by the spirit --
177
481000
3000
Obzirom da ste opsednuti, da vas je duh preuzeo,
08:04
how can you be harmed?
178
484000
1000
kako možete biti povređeni?
08:05
So you see these astonishing demonstrations:
179
485000
3000
Vidite ove zapanjujuće demonstracije:
08:08
Voodoo acolytes in a state of trance
180
488000
2000
Vudu sledbenici u stanju transa
08:10
handling burning embers with impunity,
181
490000
3000
nose žar na svojim rukama bez posledica,
08:13
a rather astonishing demonstration of the ability of the mind
182
493000
3000
to je neverovatna demonstracija sposobnosti uma
08:16
to affect the body that bears it
183
496000
1000
da utiče na telo koje to podnosi
08:17
when catalyzed in the state of extreme excitation.
184
497000
3000
kada doživi uzbuđenje ekstremnih granica.
08:21
Now, of all the peoples that I've ever been with,
185
501000
2000
E sada, od svih ljudi sa kojima sam ikada bio,
08:23
the most extraordinary are the Kogi
186
503000
2000
najneobičniji su Kogi
08:25
of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in northern Colombia.
187
505000
3000
sa Sijera Nevada planina Santa Marte na severu Kolumbije.
08:28
Descendants of the ancient Tairona civilization
188
508000
3000
Potomci drevne civilizacije Tajrona
08:31
which once carpeted the Caribbean coastal plain of Colombia,
189
511000
3000
koji su nekada nastanjivali priobalnu Karipsku obalu Kolumbije,
08:34
in the wake of the conquest,
190
514000
1000
u jeku osvajačkih pohoda,
08:35
these people retreated into an isolated volcanic massif
191
515000
3000
povukli su se na izolovane vulkanske masive
08:38
that soars above the Caribbean coastal plain.
192
518000
2000
koji se uzdižu iznad Karipskih priobalnih ravnica.
08:40
In a bloodstained continent,
193
520000
2000
Na krvavom kontinentu,
08:42
these people alone were never conquered by the Spanish.
194
522000
3000
jedino ove ljude nikada nisu pokorili Španci.
08:45
To this day, they remain ruled by a ritual priesthood
195
525000
3000
Do danas, njima upravljaju rituali sveštenstva
08:48
but the training for the priesthood is rather extraordinary.
196
528000
2000
ali obuka ovih sveštenika je vrlo neobična.
08:51
The young acolytes are taken away from their families
197
531000
2000
Mlade sledbenike razdvoje od njihovih porodica
08:53
at the age of three and four,
198
533000
2000
kada imaju tri ili četiri godine,
08:55
sequestered in a shadowy world of darkness
199
535000
2000
izoluju ih u osenčeni svet tame
08:57
in stone huts at the base of glaciers for 18 years:
200
537000
4000
u kamenim kolibama u podnožju glečera na 18 godina:
09:01
two nine-year periods
201
541000
1000
dva devetogodišnja perioda
09:02
deliberately chosen to mimic the nine months of gestation
202
542000
3000
namerno odabrana da imitiraju devet meseci trudnoće
09:05
they spend in their natural mother's womb;
203
545000
2000
koje provedu u prirodnoj utrobi majke;
09:07
now they are metaphorically in the womb of the great mother.
204
547000
3000
oni su tako metaforički u utrobi velike majke.
09:10
And for this entire time,
205
550000
1000
Za sve to vreme,
09:12
they are inculturated into the values of their society,
206
552000
3000
objašnjavaju im vrednosni sistem njihovog društva,
09:15
values that maintain the proposition that their prayers
207
555000
2000
vrednosti koje podrazumevaju da njihove molitve
09:17
and their prayers alone maintain the cosmic --
208
557000
3000
i samo njihove molitve održavaju kosmičku...
09:20
or we might say the ecological -- balance.
209
560000
2000
ili mogli bismo reći ekološku ravnotežu.
09:23
And at the end of this amazing initiation,
210
563000
1000
Na kraju ove neverovatne obuke,
09:24
one day they're suddenly taken out
211
564000
2000
jednog dana ih iznenada izvedu
09:26
and for the first time in their lives, at the age of 18,
212
566000
3000
i po prvi put u svojim životima, u osamnestoj godini,
09:29
they see a sunrise. And in that crystal moment of awareness
213
569000
4000
vide izlazak sunca. U tom kristalnom trenutku svesti
09:33
of first light as the Sun begins to bathe the slopes
214
573000
3000
o prvom zraku svetlosti dok Sunce počinje da obasipa padine
09:36
of the stunningly beautiful landscape,
215
576000
1000
pejzaža lepote koja ostavlja bez daha,
09:38
suddenly everything they have learned in the abstract
216
578000
2000
odjednom se sve što su ikada naučili u teoriji
09:40
is affirmed in stunning glory. And the priest steps back
217
580000
3000
potvrđuje u zadivljujućoj lepoti. Sveštenik zakorači unazad
09:43
and says, "You see? It's really as I've told you.
218
583000
2000
i kaže: "Vidite li? Upravo je tako kao što sam vam rekao."
09:45
It is that beautiful. It is yours to protect."
219
585000
3000
Toliko je prelepo. Vaše je da to štitite."
09:48
They call themselves the "elder brothers"
220
588000
2000
Oni sebe nazivaju "starijom braćom"
09:50
and they say we, who are the younger brothers,
221
590000
3000
i kažu da smo mi, mlađa braća,
09:53
are the ones responsible for destroying the world.
222
593000
3000
odgovorni za uništavanje sveta.
09:57
Now, this level of intuition becomes very important.
223
597000
2000
E sada, ovaj nivo intuicije postaje vrlo važan.
09:59
Whenever we think of indigenous people and landscape,
224
599000
2000
Kad god razmišljamo o domorodačkim narodima i predelima,
10:01
we either invoke Rousseau
225
601000
2000
mi se ili pozivamo Rusoa
10:03
and the old canard of the "noble savage,"
226
603000
3000
ili na staru priču o "plemenitom divljaku",
10:06
which is an idea racist in its simplicity,
227
606000
2000
što je rasistička ideja u svojoj suštini,
10:08
or alternatively, we invoke Thoreau
228
608000
3000
ili alternativno, pozivamo se na Toroa
10:11
and say these people are closer to the Earth than we are.
229
611000
2000
i kažemo da su ti ljudi bliži Zemlji od nas.
10:13
Well, indigenous people are neither sentimental
230
613000
2000
Domoroci nisu ni sentimentalni
10:15
nor weakened by nostalgia.
231
615000
2000
niti podložni nostalgiji.
10:17
There's not a lot of room for either
232
617000
2000
Nema dovoljno mesta ni za jedno ni za drugo
10:19
in the malarial swamps of the Asmat
233
619000
2000
u malarijskim barama Asmata
10:21
or in the chilling winds of Tibet, but they have, nevertheless,
234
621000
3000
ili u hladnim vetrovima Tibeta, ali su oni, ipak
10:24
through time and ritual, forged a traditional mystique of the Earth
235
624000
4000
kroz vreme i rituale, prenosili tradicionalne tajne Zemlje
10:28
that is based not on the idea of being self-consciously close to it,
236
628000
3000
koje nisu utemeljene u ideji o samosvenoj bliskoj vezi sa planetom,
10:31
but on a far subtler intuition:
237
631000
2000
već na mnogo suptilnijem predosećaju:
10:33
the idea that the Earth itself can only exist
238
633000
3000
a to je ideja da Zemlja može postojati jedino
10:37
because it is breathed into being by human consciousness.
239
637000
2000
ako joj ljudska svest udahne život.
10:39
Now, what does that mean?
240
639000
2000
E sada, šta to znači?
10:41
It means that a young kid from the Andes
241
641000
2000
To znači da će mlado dete sa Anda
10:43
who's raised to believe that that mountain is an Apu spirit
242
643000
2000
koje je odraslo u uverenju da je planina Apu duh
10:45
that will direct his or her destiny
243
645000
2000
koji će odrediti njegovu ili njenu sudbinu
10:47
will be a profoundly different human being
244
647000
3000
biti suštinski drukčije ljudsko biće
10:50
and have a different relationship to that resource
245
650000
3000
i imati drukčiji odnos prema tom izvoru
10:53
or that place than a young kid from Montana
246
653000
2000
ili tom mestu u odnosu na mlado dete iz Montane
10:55
raised to believe that a mountain is a pile of rock
247
655000
3000
koje je odraslo u uverenju da je planina gomila kamenja
10:58
ready to be mined.
248
658000
1000
koje čeka da bude minirano.
10:59
Whether it's the abode of a spirit or a pile of ore is irrelevant.
249
659000
4000
Bilo da je to prebivalište duha ili gomila rude, nebitno je.
11:03
What's interesting is the metaphor that defines the relationship
250
663000
3000
Ono što je zanimljivo jeste metafora koja definiše vezu
11:06
between the individual and the natural world.
251
666000
2000
između jedinke i prirode.
11:08
I was raised in the forests of British Columbia
252
668000
2000
Ja sam odrastao u šumama Britanske Kolumbije
11:10
to believe those forests existed to be cut.
253
670000
2000
u uverenju da te šume postoje da bi bile isečene.
11:12
That made me a different human being
254
672000
2000
To me je načinilo drukčijim ljudskim bićem
11:14
than my friends amongst the Kwagiulth
255
674000
2000
od mojih prijatelja među Kvagujima
11:16
who believe that those forests were the abode of Huxwhukw
256
676000
2000
koji veruju da su te šume prebivalište "Huxwhukw"-a
11:18
and the Crooked Beak of Heaven
257
678000
1000
i Vijugavog kljuna raja
11:19
and the cannibal spirits that dwelled at the north end of the world,
258
679000
3000
i kanibalskih duša koje žive na severnom kraju sveta,
11:22
spirits they would have to engage during their Hamatsa initiation.
259
682000
4000
duša sa kojima moraju da interaguju tokom njihovog Hamatsa obreda.
11:26
Now, if you begin to look at the idea
260
686000
2000
Ukoliko počnete da razmatrate ideju
11:28
that these cultures could create different realities,
261
688000
2000
da bi ove kulture mogle stvoriti drugačiju realnost,
11:30
you could begin to understand
262
690000
1000
počeli biste da shvatate
11:31
some of their extraordinary discoveries. Take this plant here.
263
691000
5000
neke od njihovih neverovatnih otkrića. Uzmite ovu biljku ovde.
11:36
It's a photograph I took in the Northwest Amazon just last April.
264
696000
2000
To je fotografija koju sam uslikao na severozapadnom Amazonu prošlog aprila.
11:38
This is ayahuasca, which many of you have heard about,
265
698000
3000
Ovo je ajovaska, za koju su mnogi od vas čuli,
11:41
the most powerful psychoactive preparation
266
701000
3000
jedna od najsnažnijih psihoaktivnih smeša
11:44
of the shaman's repertoire.
267
704000
2000
u repertoaru šamana.
11:46
What makes ayahuasca fascinating
268
706000
2000
Ono što ajovasku čini izuzetnom
11:48
is not the sheer pharmacological potential of this preparation,
269
708000
4000
nije čisti farmakološki potencijal smeše,
11:52
but the elaboration of it. It's made really of two different sources:
270
712000
4000
već kako se sintetiše. Pravi se od dva različita izvora:
11:56
on the one hand, this woody liana
271
716000
2000
sa jedne strane, ova drvena lijana
11:58
which has in it a series of beta-carbolines,
272
718000
2000
koja u sebi ima čitav niz beta-karbolina,
12:00
harmine, harmaline, mildly hallucinogenic --
273
720000
3000
harmina, harmalina, blagih halucinogena,
12:03
to take the vine alone
274
723000
2000
uzmete li samo ovu biljku
12:05
is rather to have sort of blue hazy smoke
275
725000
2000
osetili biste se kao da plavi maglovit dim
12:07
drift across your consciousness --
276
727000
2000
struji kroz vašu svest,
12:09
but it's mixed with the leaves of a shrub in the coffee family
277
729000
3000
ali je pomešana sa lišćem žbuna iz familije kafe
12:12
called Psychotria viridis.
278
732000
2000
nazvan Psihotria viridis (lat).
12:14
This plant had in it some very powerful tryptamines,
279
734000
3000
Ova biljka u sebi sadrži neke veoma moćne triptamine,
12:17
very close to brain serotonin, dimethyltryptamine,
280
737000
4000
jako slične serotoninu, dimetiltriptaminu,
12:21
5-methoxydimethyltryptamine.
281
741000
1000
5-metoksidimetiltriptaminu.
12:22
If you've ever seen the Yanomami
282
742000
2000
Ako ste ikada videli Janomame
12:24
blowing that snuff up their noses,
283
744000
2000
kako ušrmakavaju poprašeni duvan,
12:26
that substance they make from a different set of species
284
746000
3000
ta supstanca koju prave od različitih vrsta biljaka
12:29
also contains methoxydimethyltryptamine.
285
749000
4000
takođe sadrži metodimetriltriptamin.
12:33
To have that powder blown up your nose
286
753000
2000
Kada ušmrkavate taj prah
12:35
is rather like being shot out of a rifle barrel
287
755000
4000
to je kao da ste upucani iz puške
12:39
lined with baroque paintings and landing on a sea of electricity. (Laughter)
288
759000
7000
zajedno sa baroknim slikama i pri tom slećete na more električne struje. (Smeh)
12:46
It doesn't create the distortion of reality;
289
766000
2000
To ne dovodi do izvrtanja realnosti;
12:48
it creates the dissolution of reality.
290
768000
1000
to dovodi do ukidanja stvarnosti.
12:49
In fact, I used to argue with my professor, Richard Evan Shultes --
291
769000
3000
Zapravo, ranije sam se raspravljao sa mojim profesorom, Ričardom Evanom Šultsom,
12:52
who is a man who sparked the psychedelic era
292
772000
2000
čovekom koji je izazvao psihodeličnu eru
12:54
with his discovery of the magic mushrooms
293
774000
2000
otkrićem magičnih pečurki
12:56
in Mexico in the 1930s --
294
776000
2000
u Meksiku 1930.
12:58
I used to argue that you couldn't classify these tryptamines
295
778000
2000
Tvrdio sam da se ovi triptamini ne mogu klasifikovati
13:00
as hallucinogenic because by the time you're under the effects
296
780000
3000
u red halucinogena jer u vreme kad ste pod efektima
13:03
there's no one home anymore to experience a hallucination. (Laughter)
297
783000
4000
nema nikog kod kuće ko bi doživeo tu halucinaciju. (Smeh)
13:07
But the thing about tryptamines is they cannot be taken orally
298
787000
3000
Ali stvar sa triptaminima je da se oni ne mogu uzimati oralno
13:10
because they're denatured by an enzyme
299
790000
2000
zato što ih razgrađuju enzimi
13:12
found naturally in the human gut called monoamine oxidase.
300
792000
3000
koji su prirodni sastojak stomaka ljudi, a to su monoaminske oksidaze.
13:15
They can only be taken orally if taken in conjunction
301
795000
3000
Mogu se uzimati oralno samo ako se uzmu zajedno
13:18
with some other chemical that denatures the MAO.
302
798000
3000
sa nekim drugim hemikalijama koje menjaju MAO.
13:21
Now, the fascinating things
303
801000
1000
Sada, zadivljujuće je
13:22
are that the beta-carbolines found within that liana
304
802000
4000
da su beta-karboini, sastojci lijana,
13:26
are MAO inhibitors of the precise sort necessary
305
806000
3000
zapravo MAO inhibitori upravo one vrste koja
13:30
to potentiate the tryptamine. So you ask yourself a question.
306
810000
3000
aktivira triptamine. Onda se zapitate:
13:33
How, in a flora of 80,000 species of vascular plants,
307
813000
4000
Kako su u flori od 80.000 vrsta vaskularnih biljaka,
13:37
do these people find these two morphologically unrelated plants
308
817000
4000
ovi ljudi pronašli ove dve morfološki različite biljke
13:41
that when combined in this way,
309
821000
1000
koje, kada se kombinuju na ovaj način,
13:42
created a kind of biochemical version
310
822000
2000
stvaraju vrstu biohemijske smeše
13:44
of the whole being greater than the sum of the parts?
311
824000
2000
koja je više od prostog zbira njenih delova?
13:46
Well, we use that great euphemism, "trial and error,"
312
826000
3000
U redu, mi koristimo poznati eufemizam "pokušaja i greške"
13:49
which is exposed to be meaningless.
313
829000
1000
koji se ispostavio kao beznačajan.
13:51
But you ask the Indians, and they say, "The plants talk to us."
314
831000
3000
Ali pitajte Indijance, i oni će reći, "Biljke pričaju sa nama."
13:54
Well, what does that mean?
315
834000
1000
Pa, šta to znači?
13:55
This tribe, the Cofan, has 17 varieties of ayahuasca,
316
835000
4000
Ovo pleme, Kofan, ima 17 vrsta ajovaska,
13:59
all of which they distinguish a great distance in the forest,
317
839000
3000
i sve ih razlikuju čak na velikim udaljenostima u šumi,
14:03
all of which are referable to our eye as one species.
318
843000
4000
a mi ih prepoznajemo kao jednu istu vrstu.
14:07
And then you ask them how they establish their taxonomy
319
847000
2000
A kada ih pitate kako su uspeli da ih klasifikuju
14:09
and they say, "I thought you knew something about plants.
320
849000
3000
oni kažu: "Mislio sam da ti znaš ponešto o biljkama.
14:12
I mean, don't you know anything?" And I said, "No."
321
852000
2000
Mislim, zar ništa baš ne znaš?" Ja odgovorim: "Ne."
14:14
Well, it turns out you take each of the 17 varieties
322
854000
3000
Pa, ispostavilo se da je potrebno da uzmeš svaku od 17 vrsta
14:17
in the night of a full moon, and it sings to you in a different key.
323
857000
3000
u noći punog meseca, i one ti pevaju u različitom tonalitetu.
14:20
Now, that's not going to get you a Ph.D. at Harvard,
324
860000
2000
To ti neće doneti doktorat na Harvardu,
14:22
but it's a lot more interesting than counting stamens. (Laughter)
325
862000
4000
ali svakako je interesantnije od brojanja prašnika. (Smeh)
14:26
Now --
326
866000
1000
Sada,
14:27
(Applause) --
327
867000
3000
(Aplauz)
14:30
the problem -- the problem is that even those of us
328
870000
2000
problem, problem je u tome da iako neki od nas
14:32
sympathetic with the plight of indigenous people
329
872000
2000
saosećaju sa nedaćama urođenika,
14:34
view them as quaint and colorful
330
874000
1000
shvataju ih kao neobične i raznolike,
14:35
but somehow reduced to the margins of history
331
875000
2000
ali nekako povučene na margine istorije
14:37
as the real world, meaning our world, moves on.
332
877000
3000
dok pravi svet, naš svet, nastavlja dalje.
14:40
Well, the truth is the 20th century, 300 years from now,
333
880000
2000
Istina je, pak, da će dvadeseti vek, za 300 godina,
14:42
is not going to be remembered for its wars
334
882000
3000
biti upamćen ne po ratovima
14:45
or its technological innovations,
335
885000
1000
ili tehnološkim inovacijama,
14:46
but rather as the era in which we stood by
336
886000
2000
već kao era u kojoj smo stajali
14:49
and either actively endorsed or passively accepted
337
889000
2000
i aktivno podržavali ili pasivno prihvatili
14:51
the massive destruction of both biological and cultural diversity
338
891000
3000
masivno uništenje i biološke i kulturološke raznolikosti
14:54
on the planet. Now, the problem isn't change.
339
894000
3000
na planeti. E pa problem se neće promeniti.
14:57
All cultures through all time
340
897000
2000
Sve kulture su kroz vreme
14:59
have constantly been engaged in a dance
341
899000
3000
stalno bile angažovane u plesu
15:02
with new possibilities of life.
342
902000
1000
sa novim mogućnostima života.
15:04
And the problem is not technology itself.
343
904000
2000
Problem nije ni tehnologija sama po sebi.
15:07
The Sioux Indians did not stop being Sioux
344
907000
2000
Sijuks Indijanci nisu prestali da budu Sijuks
15:09
when they gave up the bow and arrow
345
909000
1000
kada su se odrekli luka i strele
15:10
any more than an American stopped being an American
346
910000
2000
ništa više nego što su Amerikanci prestali da budu Amerikanci
15:12
when he gave up the horse and buggy.
347
912000
2000
kada su napustili konje i kočije.
15:14
It's not change or technology
348
914000
1000
Nije to ni promena ni tehnologija
15:15
that threatens the integrity of the ethnosphere. It is power,
349
915000
4000
koja je ugrozila integritet etnosfere. To je moć,
15:19
the crude face of domination.
350
919000
2000
okrutno lice dominacije.
15:21
Wherever you look around the world,
351
921000
2000
Gde god da pogledate po svetu,
15:23
you discover that these are not cultures destined to fade away;
352
923000
3000
otkrićete da sudbina ovih kultura nije da nestanu;
15:26
these are dynamic living peoples
353
926000
2000
to su ljudi koji vode dinamičan život,
15:28
being driven out of existence by identifiable forces
354
928000
3000
ljudi čije je postojanje ugroženo poznatim silama
15:31
that are beyond their capacity to adapt to:
355
931000
2000
koje su van njihove moći prilagođavanja:
15:33
whether it's the egregious deforestation
356
933000
2000
bilo da je u pitanju uništenje šuma
15:36
in the homeland of the Penan --
357
936000
2000
u zemlji Penana,
15:38
a nomadic people from Southeast Asia, from Sarawak --
358
938000
3000
nomadski narod sa jugoistoka Afrike, iz Saravaka,
15:41
a people who lived free in the forest until a generation ago,
359
941000
4000
narod koji je slobodno živeo u šumama samo do pre jedne generacije,
15:45
and now have all been reduced to servitude and prostitution
360
945000
3000
a sada je u potpunosti sveden na ropstvo i prostituciju
15:48
on the banks of the rivers,
361
948000
2000
na obalama reka,
15:50
where you can see the river itself is soiled with the silt
362
950000
4000
gde možete videti da je i sama reka zagađena muljem
15:54
that seems to be carrying half of Borneo away
363
954000
2000
koji izgleda kao da odnosi pola Bornea
15:56
to the South China Sea,
364
956000
1000
do Južnog kineskog mora,
15:57
where the Japanese freighters hang light in the horizon
365
957000
2000
gde japanski teretni brodovi čekaju sa svetlima uprtim u horizont
15:59
ready to fill their holds with raw logs ripped from the forest --
366
959000
4000
da napune svoje nosače sirovim stablima iščupanim iz šume --
16:03
or, in the case of the Yanomami,
367
963000
1000
ili, u slučaju Janomama,
16:04
it's the disease entities that have come in,
368
964000
2000
to su bolesti koje su se pojavile,
16:06
in the wake of the discovery of gold.
369
966000
2000
u periodu zlatne groznice.
16:08
Or if we go into the mountains of Tibet,
370
968000
2000
Ili ako odemo do planina Tibeta,
16:10
where I'm doing a lot of research recently,
371
970000
2000
gde mnogo istražujem u poslednje vreme,
16:13
you'll see it's a crude face of political domination.
372
973000
3000
videćete da je u pitanju surovo lice političke dominacije.
16:16
You know, genocide, the physical extinction of a people
373
976000
2000
Znate, genocid, fizičko istrebljenje ljudi
16:18
is universally condemned, but ethnocide,
374
978000
2000
je osuđeno na globalnom nivou, ali etnocid,
16:21
the destruction of people's way of life, is not only not condemned,
375
981000
3000
uništavanje načina na koji ljudi žive, ne samo da nije osuđeno,
16:24
it's universally, in many quarters, celebrated
376
984000
3000
već je na globalnom nivou, na mnogim delovima, slavljeno
16:27
as part of a development strategy.
377
987000
2000
kao deo razvojne strategije.
16:29
And you cannot understand the pain of Tibet
378
989000
3000
Ne možete razumeti bol Tibeta
16:32
until you move through it at the ground level.
379
992000
2000
dok ne prođete kroz taj predeo drumovima.
16:34
I once travelled 6,000 miles from Chengdu in Western China
380
994000
4000
Jednom sam putovao 9.656 kilometara od Čengdua u zapadnoj Kini
16:38
overland through southeastern Tibet to Lhasa
381
998000
3000
zemljanim putem kroz jugoistočni Tibet do Lase
16:41
with a young colleague, and it was only when I got to Lhasa
382
1001000
4000
sa mladim kolegom, i tek kad sam došao do Lase
16:45
that I understood the face behind the statistics
383
1005000
3000
razumeo sam lice koje se krije iza statistike
16:48
you hear about:
384
1008000
1000
o kojoj vas obaveštavaju:
16:49
6,000 sacred monuments torn apart to dust and ashes,
385
1009000
4000
6.000 svetih spomenika pretvoreno u prah i pepeo,
16:53
1.2 million people killed by the cadres
386
1013000
3000
1.2 miliona ljudi koje su regruti ubili
16:56
during the Cultural Revolution.
387
1016000
1000
u periodu Kulturne revolucije.
16:58
This young man's father had been ascribed to the Panchen Lama.
388
1018000
2000
Otac ovog mladog čoveka je bio dodeljen Pančen Lami.
17:00
That meant he was instantly killed
389
1020000
2000
To znači da je bio odmah ubijen
17:02
at the time of the Chinese invasion.
390
1022000
2000
u vreme kineske invazije.
17:04
His uncle fled with His Holiness in the Diaspora
391
1024000
2000
Njegov ujak je pobegao sa Njegovom Svetošću u Dijasporu
17:06
that took the people to Nepal.
392
1026000
3000
koja je odvela narod u Nepal.
17:09
His mother was incarcerated
393
1029000
2000
Njegova majka je bila zatvorena,
17:11
for the crime of being wealthy.
394
1031000
2000
a njen zločin je bio njeno bogatstvo.
17:14
He was smuggled into the jail at the age of two
395
1034000
2000
On je bio prokrijumčaren u zatvor kada je imao dve godine
17:16
to hide beneath her skirt tails
396
1036000
2000
gde je bio skriven u njenim haljinama
17:18
because she couldn't bear to be without him.
397
1038000
2000
jer nije mogla da podnese da bude odvojena od njega.
17:20
The sister who had done that brave deed
398
1040000
2000
Sestra koja je učinila to hrabro delo
17:22
was put into an education camp.
399
1042000
1000
je odvedena u obrazovni kamp.
17:23
One day she inadvertently stepped on an armband
400
1043000
2000
Jednog dana je nenamerno stala na traku na ruci
17:26
of Mao, and for that transgression,
401
1046000
2000
Maoa, i zbog tog prestupa
17:28
she was given seven years of hard labor.
402
1048000
3000
osuđena je na sedam godina teškog rada.
17:31
The pain of Tibet can be impossible to bear,
403
1051000
3000
Patnju Tibeta bi bilo nemoguće podneti,
17:34
but the redemptive spirit of the people is something to behold.
404
1054000
3000
ali pravednički duh ovih ljudi je nešto što treba videti.
17:38
And in the end, then, it really comes down to a choice:
405
1058000
3000
Na kraju, zaista se svede na izbor:
17:41
do we want to live in a monochromatic world of monotony
406
1061000
3000
želimo li da živimo u jednoličnom svetu monotonije
17:44
or do we want to embrace a polychromatic world of diversity?
407
1064000
3000
ili želimo da prigrlimo šareni svet različitosti?
17:47
Margaret Mead, the great anthropologist, said, before she died,
408
1067000
3000
Margaret Mid, čuveni antropolog, rekla je pre nego što je preminula,
17:50
that her greatest fear was that as we drifted towards
409
1070000
3000
da je njen najveći strah da ćemo dok se krećemo prema
17:53
this blandly amorphous generic world view
410
1073000
2000
ovom apatičnom bezobličnom generičkom pogledu na svet
17:55
not only would we see the entire range of the human imagination
411
1075000
5000
ne samo videti kako se čitav spektar ljudske mašte
18:00
reduced to a more narrow modality of thought,
412
1080000
4000
svodi na jednoličan način mišljenja,
18:04
but that we would wake from a dream one day
413
1084000
1000
već da ćemo se jednog dana probuditi iz sna
18:05
having forgotten there were even other possibilities.
414
1085000
3000
i zaboraviti da su nekada postojale druge mogućnosti.
18:09
And it's humbling to remember that our species has, perhaps,
415
1089000
3000
Potrebno je sa poštovanjem se setiti da je naša vrsta ovde, možda,
18:12
been around for [150,000] years.
416
1092000
2000
oko 150.000 godina.
18:14
The Neolithic Revolution -- which gave us agriculture,
417
1094000
3000
Neolitska revolucija koja nam je donela agrikulturu,
18:17
at which time we succumbed to the cult of the seed;
418
1097000
2000
tada smo pali pod uticaj kulta semena;
18:19
the poetry of the shaman was displaced
419
1099000
2000
tada je poezija šamana zamenjena
18:21
by the prose of the priesthood;
420
1101000
1000
prozom sveštenstva;
18:22
we created hierarchy specialization surplus --
421
1102000
3000
tada smo stvorili hijerarhiju specijalizovanih viškova --
18:25
is only 10,000 years ago.
422
1105000
2000
se desila tek pre 10.000 godina.
18:27
The modern industrial world as we know it
423
1107000
2000
Moderni industrijski svet koji poznajemo
18:29
is barely 300 years old.
424
1109000
2000
star je svega 300 godina.
18:31
Now, that shallow history doesn't suggest to me
425
1111000
2000
Sad, ta površna istorija mi ne nagoveštava
18:33
that we have all the answers for all of the challenges
426
1113000
3000
da imamo sve odgovore na sve izazove
18:36
that will confront us in the ensuing millennia.
427
1116000
2000
koji će nas snaći u predstojećem milenijumu.
18:38
When these myriad cultures of the world
428
1118000
2000
Kada je bezbroj ovih kultura na svetu
18:40
are asked the meaning of being human,
429
1120000
3000
upitano šta znači biti ljudsko biće,
18:43
they respond with 10,000 different voices.
430
1123000
2000
oni su odgovorili sa 10.000 različitih glasova.
18:45
And it's within that song that we will all rediscover the possibility
431
1125000
6000
U toj pesmi ćemo svi ponovno otkriti mogućnost
18:51
of being what we are: a fully conscious species,
432
1131000
3000
da budemo to što jesmo: u potpunosti svesna vrsta,
18:54
fully aware of ensuring that all peoples and all gardens
433
1134000
3000
potpuno svesna da svi ljudi i sve bašte
18:57
find a way to flourish. And there are great moments of optimism.
434
1137000
6000
pronalaze svoj način da cvetaju. Postoje sjajni trenuci optimizma.
19:03
This is a photograph I took at the northern tip of Baffin Island
435
1143000
3000
Ovo je fotografija koju sam napravio na severnom vrhu ostrva Bafin
19:06
when I went narwhal hunting with some Inuit people,
436
1146000
2000
kada sam išao u lov na narvale sa nekim Inuitima,
19:09
and this man, Olayuk, told me a marvelous story of his grandfather.
437
1149000
3000
i ovaj čovek, Olajuk, mi je ispričao predivnu priču svog dede.
19:13
The Canadian government has not always been kind
438
1153000
2000
Kanadska vlada nije oduvek bila fina
19:15
to the Inuit people, and during the 1950s,
439
1155000
2000
prema Inuitima, i tokom pedesetih godina XX veka,
19:17
to establish our sovereignty, we forced them into settlements.
440
1157000
3000
kako bismo uspostavili naš suverenitet, primorali smo ih na seljenje.
19:20
This old man's grandfather refused to go.
441
1160000
4000
Deda ovog starog čoveka je odbio da ode.
19:24
The family, fearful for his life, took away all of his weapons,
442
1164000
4000
Porodica, zabrinuta za njegov život, oduzela mu je oružje,
19:28
all of his tools.
443
1168000
1000
sav njegov alat.
19:30
Now, you must understand that the Inuit did not fear the cold;
444
1170000
2000
Sada, morate razumeti da se Inuiti ne plaše hladnoće;
19:32
they took advantage of it.
445
1172000
1000
oni u tome vide prednost.
19:33
The runners of their sleds were originally made of fish
446
1173000
3000
Klizači na njihovim sankama su prvobitno bili pravljeni od ribe
19:36
wrapped in caribou hide.
447
1176000
1000
zamotane u jelensku kožu.
19:37
So, this man's grandfather was not intimidated by the Arctic night
448
1177000
5000
Tako da deda ovog čoveka nije bio zastrašen arktičkom noći
19:42
or the blizzard that was blowing.
449
1182000
2000
niti mećavom koja je duvala.
19:44
He simply slipped outside, pulled down his sealskin trousers
450
1184000
3000
On se prosto izvukao napolje, svukao pantalone od fokinog krzna
19:48
and defecated into his hand. And as the feces began to freeze,
451
1188000
3000
i pokakio se u svoju ruku. I dok se fekalija smrzavala,
19:51
he shaped it into the form of a blade.
452
1191000
3000
oblikovao ju je u formu oštrice.
19:54
He put a spray of saliva on the edge of the shit knife
453
1194000
2000
Zatim je pljunuo na ivicu ovog noža od fekalija
19:56
and as it finally froze solid, he butchered a dog with it.
454
1196000
3000
i kada se najzad zaledio, zaklao je psa time.
19:59
He skinned the dog and improvised a harness,
455
1199000
3000
Potom je odrao kožu sa psa i improvizovao opremu,
20:02
took the ribcage of the dog and improvised a sled,
456
1202000
3000
uzeo rebra psa i improvizovao klizače na sankama,
20:06
harnessed up an adjacent dog,
457
1206000
1000
upregao drugog psa,
20:07
and disappeared over the ice floes, shit knife in belt.
458
1207000
4000
i nestao preko ledenih santi, sa nožem od izmeta za pojasom.
20:11
Talk about getting by with nothing. (Laughter)
459
1211000
4000
Kako ni od čega napraviti nešto. (Smeh)
20:15
And this, in many ways --
460
1215000
1000
Ovo je, na mnogo načina --
20:16
(Applause) --
461
1216000
2000
(Aplauz) --
20:18
is a symbol of the resilience of the Inuit people
462
1218000
2000
simbol izdržljivosti Inuita
20:20
and of all indigenous people around the world.
463
1220000
3000
i svih domorodaca širom sveta.
20:23
The Canadian government in April of 1999
464
1223000
2000
Kanadska vada je aprila 1999.
20:25
gave back to total control of the Inuit
465
1225000
3000
dala Inuitima potpunu kontrolu
20:28
an area of land larger than California and Texas put together.
466
1228000
3000
nad zemljom površine koja je veća od Kalifornije i Teksasa zajedno.
20:31
It's our new homeland. It's called Nunavut.
467
1231000
2000
To je naša nova domovina. Nazvana Nunavut.
20:34
It's an independent territory. They control all mineral resources.
468
1234000
3000
To je nezavisna teritorija. Oni kontrolišu sve mineralne resurse.
20:37
An amazing example of how a nation-state
469
1237000
2000
Ovo je zadivljujući primer kako država
20:39
can seek restitution with its people.
470
1239000
4000
može rešiti problem povraćaja imovine svom narodu.
20:44
And finally, in the end, I think it's pretty obvious
471
1244000
3000
Najzad, na samom kraju, mislim da je prilično očigledno
20:47
at least to all of all us who've traveled
472
1247000
1000
makar svima nama koji smo putovali
20:48
in these remote reaches of the planet,
473
1248000
2000
u ove udaljene delove naše planete,
20:52
to realize that they're not remote at all.
474
1252000
1000
da shvatimo da oni uopšte nisu udaljeni.
20:53
They're homelands of somebody.
475
1253000
2000
To su nečije domovine.
20:55
They represent branches of the human imagination
476
1255000
2000
Predstavljaju ogranke ljudske mašte
20:57
that go back to the dawn of time. And for all of us,
477
1257000
4000
koja seže do početka vremena. Za sve nas,
21:01
the dreams of these children, like the dreams of our own children,
478
1261000
3000
snovi ove dece, kao snovi naše dece,
21:04
become part of the naked geography of hope.
479
1264000
3000
postaju delovi ogoljene geografije nade.
21:07
So, what we're trying to do at the National Geographic, finally,
480
1267000
4000
Najzad, ono što pokušavamo da uradimo u Nacionalnoj Geografiji,
21:11
is, we believe that politicians will never accomplish anything.
481
1271000
4000
pa mi mislimo da političari nikada ništa neće postići.
21:15
We think that polemics --
482
1275000
1000
Mislimo da polemike,
21:16
(Applause) --
483
1276000
2000
(Aplauz)
21:18
we think that polemics are not persuasive,
484
1278000
2000
mislimo da polemike nisu ubedljive,
21:20
but we think that storytelling can change the world,
485
1280000
3000
ali mislimo da pričanje priča može promeniti svet,
21:23
and so we are probably the best storytelling institution
486
1283000
3000
a mi smo verovatno najbolja institucija za pričanje priča
21:26
in the world. We get 35 million hits on our website every month.
487
1286000
3000
na svetu. Beležimo 35 miliona ulazaka na naš sajt svakog meseca.
21:29
156 nations carry our television channel.
488
1289000
3000
156 nacija prenosi naš TV kanal.
21:33
Our magazines are read by millions.
489
1293000
2000
Naše magazine čitaju milioni.
21:35
And what we're doing is a series of journeys
490
1295000
3000
Mi idemo na brojna putovanja
21:38
to the ethnosphere where we're going to take our audience
491
1298000
2000
u etnosferu i tako odvodimo našu publiku
21:40
to places of such cultural wonder
492
1300000
2000
na mesta takvih kulturnih čuda
21:43
that they cannot help but come away dazzled
493
1303000
2000
da ne mogu a da ne ostanu bez daha
21:45
by what they have seen, and hopefully, therefore,
494
1305000
2000
ulsed onoga što su videli, i nadamo se, na taj način,
21:47
embrace gradually, one by one,
495
1307000
3000
da postepeno prihvate, jednu po jednu,
21:50
the central revelation of anthropology:
496
1310000
2000
samu suštinu antropologije:
21:52
that this world deserves to exist in a diverse way,
497
1312000
4000
da ovaj svet zaslužuje da postoji na različite načine,
21:56
that we can find a way to live
498
1316000
1000
da možemo da nađemo način da živimo
21:57
in a truly multicultural, pluralistic world
499
1317000
3000
u istinski multikulturalnom, pluralističkom svetu
22:00
where all of the wisdom of all peoples
500
1320000
2000
gde sva mudrost svih ljudi
22:02
can contribute to our collective well-being.
501
1322000
3000
može doprineti našem kolektivnom blagostanju.
22:05
Thank you very much.
502
1325000
1000
Mnogo vam hvala.
22:06
(Applause)
503
1326000
