Parodies

Yes, I’ve learned some ideas about radical writings and the dramatic methodologies from Bertolt Brecht. Brecht said that if you want to fight to some ideas hold by the authorities with political danger, what you should do is not to minus, not to just ignore or dismiss what others say, not to ask them to keep their month quiet, but to plus. You can copy and alter the contents, with stressing on all the problems and imitating with a critical point of view; that can make the audience think deeper. The missions of the poets is not to just make the audience moved, but to make them think about the contemporary situation and try to give solutions to the problems transpired all over the world. Poets should show the power of the parodies.

However, I consider there are some questions as putting Brecht’s theories into practice. It seems that as lots of friends read my parodies on my personal weblog via the Internet, they cannot tell that’s a parody or satire, but consider that’s true or what I really think about in my mind. For instance, months ago I wrote a fictional news report about information technology, I wrote that the merchants made a new XML standard in order to share the information of the porno videos, that standard’s called as AVML. I wrote that fictional story just for fun, what I want to say is I was surprised about what a main stream and how influence able XML is. But it comes fast, I saw people consider that was true at once then.

Days ago I imitated some ridiculous opinions of the nationalists in Taiwan. I was joking in the title of ‘The Manifesto to the Educational Reformation of We Nationalists’, I said the best way to improve the economic situation is war, and the best way to improve the politics in Taiwan is to murder all the politicians no matter what party they belong to. And if we want to make our youth well-educated, make them can study in the colleges even how poor they are, the only way is to reform all the colleges military. Well, that’s just a joke, but it seems that some friends really think I am a nationalist, isn’t it?

Whatever you write, there is always misreading, misreading can distort your meanings, your messages, and your parodies. What can you do?
