Rebellious Flower Movie With Eng
Jen Ronnfeldt
Our idyllic imaginary of the forest is colonised by images typical of central and northern Europe, such as the great deciduous forests through which it is easy to walk. In the Mediterranean, on the other hand, shrubby ecosystems and forests with dense undergrowth abound, where lianas and thorny plants make it difficult to pass through. Here nature prickles and the green is dark, brown and ochre, and the forest feels more uncomfortable than the ideal of colonised nature.
In this artistic-scientific encounter we will talk about the anthropocentric morality that we place on the forest and the European ideal that colonises us, about the "rebellious" plants, and about the possibility of claiming their being-in-the-world independently of their assembly with human moral norms.

Paula Bruna holds a PhD in fine arts and is an environmentalist. She researches on perspectives different from anthropocentrism through a combination of scientific basis, speculative fiction and artistic practice. She is currently a postdoctoral artistic researcher in the Department of Animal Biology, Plant Biology and Ecology at the Universitat Autnoma de Barcelona (UAB).
Jordi Martnez Vilalta holds a PhD in Environmental Sciences at the UAB. He is a professor of ecology at the UAB and a researcher at CREAF. His research focuses on the functioning of forest systems and, in particular, on how the mechanism of water transport to trees determines their response to drought and climate change.
Ivn Prez Lorenzo is a pre-doctoral research biologist at the Institut Botnic de Barcelona-CSIC. He specialises in botany, particularly asteraceous plants. He is currently researching flower structure and reproduction mechanisms, such as plant-insect interactions.
The garden was built by community volunteers in April, and since then has been furnished with a lean-to pavilion, a manual water pump, and compost bins. Russell, who noticed the garden as he arrived in town for freshman orientation, has already been part of many of its add-on projects.
Russell has been around gardens all his life. His mother grew flowers and started her own community garden at her workplace, the pharmaceutical company Lancaster Laboratories. But after a visit at age 13 to a Massachusetts farm associated with Heifer International, Russell became obsessed with gardening.
IUP students have been involved with the garden since its creation. About 100 IUP students helped community members build 20 raised beds and filled them with soil during the annual Into the Streets service event last spring. Students from the American Language Institute, the Upward Bound Math and Science program, and the Food and Nutrition Department Student Dietetic Association have also done volunteer projects in the garden.
One of the garden's latest projects, low tunnels designed to shelter plants, lets Russell extend the growing season for spinach, scallions, and other hardy greens as temperatures drop. He planted donated seeds and helped transplant them into the low tunnel in the community plot.
The Indiana Community Garden project is led by a group of volunteers with connections to organizations such as the Penn State Cooperative Extension of Indiana County, IUP, Indiana Garden Club, the Evergreen Garden Club, and Indiana schools.
Jerry Rubin, who abandoned the guerrilla garb of his Yippie past for the three-piece suits of capitalism, was hailed by former Chicago Seven associates Tuesday as a constructive rebel who challenged authority in a continuing search for a better world.
Rubin--born to a union organizer and his wife in the 1930s and educated at UC Berkeley during the turbulent anti-war activism of the mid-1960s--burst into national consciousness in the late 1960s when he, the late Abbie Hoffman and Paul Krassner founded the rebellious Youth International Party, better known as the Yippies.
Rubin and Hoffman were major players in the wild anti-Vietnam War demonstrations that erupted outside the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August, 1968. Black Panther leader Bobby Seale and seven other demonstrators--among them Rubin, Hoffman, Dellinger and Hayden--were charged with conspiracy to incite violence and crossing state lines with intent to riot.
At the conclusion of the Chicago Seven trial, Rubin, Hoffman, Hayden, Dellinger and Rennie Davis were found guilty on charges of intent to riot and sentenced to prison, but their convictions were overturned.
Although some of the seven, such as Dellinger, remained outside the Establishment, others, such as Rubin and Hayden, began to evolve. While Hayden turned to conventional politics, Rubin tried est, yoga, bioenergetics, hypnosis and Rolfing.
In February, the entrepreneurial Rubin, who estimated that he made about $600,000 in 1992, met with the other Jerry Rubin, who was making $6 an hour potting orchids while promoting anti-war activities for the L.A. Alliance for Survival.
And least your Honour should think me carelesse of my endeavours, I, in discharge of my duetie present unto your Honour what hath happened here sence my arrivall, and in especiallie this daies service, wherin I was an actor, and eie witness. Please it your Honour therefore to understand that Florence Mc Carta entertayned one Dermond O'Knowhoer with 600 others of Conaght, and levied theforce of his owne countie which he ioyned to them, and in all they were 1,200, with which force he oppenlie opposed him self as a Traitor against Her Majestie, wheruppon Her Highnes forces to the number of 1,000 fotte and 80 horse, entered his countrie, burned prayed, and spoyled a great parte thereof, and killed about 60 of his men. On Sundaie the 20th of this instant they returned to Kinsale, and ther rested all night. Mondaie the 21st in the morninge leavinge behinde them Sir Richarde Percie and Captaine Bostocke companies contayning 250 fotte, Captaine Flower with 500 fotte and 60 horse, beinge Serjeant Major, and sole comander ofthat armie, marched towards Cork; and havinge no intelligence of the enemie that morning, did little suspecte ther beinge in that parte of the countrye; but Florence MacCartta accompanied as aforesaid, seckinge all meanes he might to defeate Her Majesty's forces, privelie conveied himselfe, and in the mid waie to Corke, at a little narrowe bridge, the forde deppe and daungerous envirowned with wood and bogge, ther he imbattled all his companie, deviding them into two severall battales: Dermond O'Knowhoer comanded the first, and him self the seconde; ther they laie flatt on the grounde, attendinge our cominge, and suffered our scotts to passe the bridge, and to returne againe, which the did without any discovered; Till our horse goinge downe the hill to passe the bridge, made a halte, and stayinge to vewe the place, discried them as the laie, by the Sonne shyninge on their murions; wee retyred to put ourselves in order, but the toke ther parte advantage, and ther vangarde with the winges of shotts charged us before we could recover the hill, so as the horse was faine to bide the fury of their force, till the fotte were in order to fight; and then expectinge they wolde have discharged ther duties, and made good ther ground, they all retired most shamefullie with little lesse then runninge awaye, till the came to a little castell more then a quarter of a myle of; wher some toke the castell in hoppe to save them selves; the rest stod to defends the Bawne, the baukes wherof were briste high, uppon the which were placed 60 shotte which discharged so luckelie as they killed many of the enemie, the rest for the must parte let fall their armes, and ranne awaie; the horse followinge the chase killed 200 of them which laie ther in the felde, wherof Dermond O'Knowhore, his second brother was one, and quatuor more of ther best leaders with 10 gent of accompt ther were hurt, bie report from them, as may more of them. Dermond O'Knowhore and Florence were both shotte with pistols, but the had no hurt: on our part there was slain lieutenant Grime, and some 8 other horsemen, and 15 hurt; whereof Captain Flower was hurt in the thighs with a pike. We lost in this fight 30 horses. In the end we had the field and made the enemy flee; but by the faint courage of the foot was lost the benefit of the 2 day's service, which being duely executed, had ended the war of that part, and cut off Florence and all his rebellious company; but if the castle had been one quarter of a mile further, all her Majesty's forces had been cut off! and scarce any had come away to tell who had hurt them.
