going to watch Anthony D. Romero talking about democracy. 1. Fill in the missing
information after watching the video. Silicon Valley is _________ with disruption, but these days, the
biggest disruptor didn't come out of Silicon Valley. It came out of steel
towns in Ohio, rural communities in Pennsylvania, the Panhandle in Florida.
And this last US presidential election was the mother of all _________. Once
again, politics is personal. Millions of Americans became activists
overnight, pouring into the streets in record _________ in record time. The election has done to family holiday dinners what Uber has done to New York City's taxi system. Couples
have broken up and _________ disrupted. And the election is doing to my
private life what Amazon is doing to shopping malls. These days, the ACLU is
on the front lines 24/7, and even if I manage to sneak away for a couple of
miles on _________ treadmill, any cardio benefit I get is instantly
obliterated when I read another presidential tweet on the headline scroll.
Even my secret pleasure of studying the Italian painters
have been _________ by politics. Now, I study, _________ stalk, the old masters. This is my desk, with
a postcard exhibition of some famous and obscure paintings mostly from the
Italian Renaissance. Now, art used to provide me with a necessary _________
from the hurly-burly of politics in my daily work at the ACLU, but not
anymore. I was at the Women's March in San Francisco the day after
inauguration, and the crowd _________ chanting, «This is what democracy looks
like». «This is what democracy looks like». And there I was holding my sign
and my _________ in the rain, and I flashed on an old painting that first
captivated me many years ago. I struggled _________ remember the different
pieces of an actual painting of good and bad government. It was almost like
the old master was taunting me. You want to know what democracy looks like? Go back and look at my _________. And so I did. In 1339, Ambrogio Lorenzetti
finished a monumental commission in the governing council _________ of
Siena's Palazzo Pubblico. It's a painting that
speaks to us, even screams to us, today. «Art is a lie that makes us realize
truth», Pablo
Picasso once said. And as we search for the truth about government, we should
keep Ambrogio's work, not a lie but an allegory, in
our _________ mind's eye. During Lorenzetti's time, the political legitimacy of Italian
city-states was often on very shaky _________. Siena was a republic, but
there had been enormous unrest in the two decades leading up to the
commission. Siena's political leaders, who would literally govern under the
eyes of these allegorical figures, were Lorenzetti's intended audience. He
was _________ the obligations of the governing to the governed. Now, you can spend _________ studying these frescoes. Some scholars
have. I'm hardly an art historian, but I am passionate about art, and a work
this massive can overwhelm me. So first, I focus on the big stuff. This is the allegory of good government. The majestic figure here in the
middle is dressed in Siena's colors and he personifies the republic itself.
Lorenzetti labels him «Commune», and he's basically telling the Sienese that they, and not a _________ or a tyrant, must
rule themselves. Now, surrounding Commune are his advisors. Justice is
enthroned. She's looking up at the figure of wisdom, who
actually supports her scales of justice. Concord, or Harmony, holds a string
that comes off the scales of justice that binds her to the citizens, making
them all compatriots in the republic. And finally we see Peace. She _________
chilled out, like she's listening to Bob Marley. When good government rules,
Peace doesn't break a sweat. Now, these are big images and big ideas, but I really love the small
stuff. Along another _________, Lorenzetti illustrates the effects of good
government on the real and everyday lives of ordinary people with a series of
delicious little details. In the countryside, the hills are landscaped and
farmed. Crops are being sown, hoed, reaped, milled, plowed,
all in one picture. Crops and _________ are being brought to market. In the
city, builders raise a tower. People attend a law lecture, a TED Talk of the
14th century. Schoolchildren play. Tradesmen thrive. Dancers larger than life dance
with joy. And watching over the _________ is the winged figure Security,
whose banner reads, «Everyone shall go forth freely without fear». 2. After

Ann Coulter needs to be able to
speak at Berkeley 3. Say if
these statements are true or false. 1.Avarice
is the old woman clutching the strongbox and a fisherman's hook to pull in
her fortune. 2.Vainglory
carries a mirror, and Lorenzetti warns us against narcissistic leaders who
are guided by their own ego and vanity. 3.On
the Tyrant's right is Cruelty. 4.Treason,
half lamb, half scorpion, lulls us into a false sense of security and then
poisons a republic. 5.Fraud,
with the flighty wings of a bat. 6.On
the Tyrant's left, you see Division. 7.She's
dressed in Siena's colors. «Si» and «No» are painted on her body. She uses a
carpenter's saw to chop her body in half. 8.And
Fury wields the weapons of the mob, the stone and knife. 9.In
the remainder of the fresco, Lorenzetti shows us the inevitable effects of
bad government. 10.Lorenzetti
warns us that we must recognize the shadows of Avarice, Fraud, Division, even Tyranny when they float across our
political landscape, especially when those shadows are cast by political
leaders loudly claiming to be the voice of good government and promising to
make America great again. |
