反映対比表のふり返り

未唯配置が作る空間

 未唯配置が作る空間とはどんなカタチかな。

反映対比表のふり返り

 二万冊達成

  二万冊達成の報告した相手は、スタバのIさんだけだった。予想以上のレスが在った。それ自体をNAWAに報告しただけです。パートナーも含めて、私の身になって、喜んでくれそうな人はいない。そして、誰にも承認を求めないということが確実に行えた。

 VW不正問題

  VW不正がどうしても合点が行かない。それに対する、日本の反応も腑に落ちない。技術者の立場、モノ作りが変わってしまったことを意味している。そして、クルマそのものが変わってしまった。

  交通全体の変化が確実にはじまる。それを行うのは、メーカーではない。クルマを地域で共有することになる。

 『存在と時間』

  中村元の『存在と時間』をしっかり、読み込まないといけない。存在の力を説明する時に基盤にしていく。独我論とか観念論を完全に私の中の「存在の無」で説明していく。

 オレンジのタブレット

  オレンジのタブレットをアマゾンから衝動買いした。オレンジだということだけが購入動機。粘土板の意味のタブレットと同じ使い道を求めた。紙に印刷する代わりに何度版に書き出していく生活。

  あえて、もう一つの理由を挙げるなら「Fire」の持つ意味ですね。仕事で得た、サファイア「Sa-fire」を継承させたい。

  アマゾンのトラブル対応でお客様ひとりとつながった高度サービスを感じた。これがモノ作りから変わっていくもので、メーカーのあり方になっていく。その中で中間の存在がどうなっていくのか。これはパートナーの仕事とも関係する。

  それにしても、「地球上で最もお客様を大切にする会社」とはよく言ったものです。

 スタバのレジ

  スタバのレジでの対応にIさんは悩んで知る。今までやってきたことが、効率化というビジネス用語で否定されている。パートナーも同様です。寄り添うブッタの心」を持って、お客様に対応してもらいたい。ビジネスのやり方はスタバには、風景が合わない。多分、シュルツもそう感じるだろう。

 図書館戦争

  図書館とメディア良化隊との争いではなく、未来の姿の争いであった。第三部としては、良片井が勝ったために、日本の未来がどうなったかを多重世界の一つとして、描いでほしい。それを持って、ナチ崩壊のように「沈黙の螺旋」の怖さを味わいことになる。

 未唯配置

  テーマはキーワード空間から、「未唯配置」が生まれた。全てを知り為には、軸は多い方がいい。足りない部分を見ていける。

Bedouim of the Syrian Desert Story of a Family

Foreword

When I was fifteen years old, the stories of T.E.Lawrence, a British Army officer and archaeologist known as "Lawrence of Arabia," captured my heart and imagination. Ever since, I have been drawn to the desert and been enchanted with the Arab world. It was my desire to convey to others the essence of that world, which inspired me to become a photographer.

I first visited Syria in 1987, and since 11995 have spent pan of every year living with a Medonin family in the Syrian desert. When I got married in 2001, we went there on our honeymoon, and I introduced my husband to the family. Then, in 2004 when our son was just sixteen months old, I look him with me, and we have been going there together ever since. I believe I am the only person in the world who has had the opportunity to have photographed the Bedouin people of Syria for some seventeen years.

Syria's official name is The Syrian Arab Republic. It is situated at the eastern end of the Mediterranean. The name "Syria" is believed to have derived either from Assyria, a civilization that once flourished in Mesopotamia, or from Tyrus, which today is Tyre, located in the southwestern area of Lebanon. A desert stretches all the way from the south to the central part of Syria. The Euphrates River flows from the north to the east, and to the west is the Orontes River. The land within the vast watershed surrounding these two rivers is agricultural. Along the coast of the Mediterranean runs a chain of mountains as high as 1,500 meters above sea level; another mountain chain in the southwestern part rises 2,800 meters. In this area there are forests and prairies thanks to abundant rainfall and moisture coming from the Mediterranean.

All these lands form a part of the Fertile Crescent, which extends from the Euphrates and Tigris watershed in Iraq to Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan. It was in this area that agriculture was first practiced, and the first phonetic alphabet was invented. It was also the birthplace of three world religions. All of these achievements, as well as architectural and other cultural and scientific innovations, profoundly influenced the development not only of European, but of all the world civilizations. Damascus, Syria's capital, has a history that stretches back to the time of the Old Testament, making it one of the world's oldest permanently inhabited cities. It is registered as one of the six UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Syria.

"Bedouin" (from the Arabic badiya, or "people who live in the wasteland") refers to nomads of Arab ethnicity. In fact, "Arab" was at one time synonymous with "Bedouin," and even today the Bedouin people in the Syrian desert proudly refer to themselves as Arab. Most of them speak Arabic as their native language. They live throughout the deserts of the Middle East, but are centered around the Arabian Peninsula and particularly in the Syrian desert, an inland area that includes Palmyra, another World Heritage Site. Raising sheep, goats, and camels, they live a nomadic lifestyle informed by a tribalism that stresses the importance of direct blood relationships.

The Syrian desert is not a land of waves of fine sand; rather, it is comprised of soil and stones, with sparsely growing grass. The Bedouin have winter (October―April) and summer (May―September) habitations that are divided by the Euphrates River. They move the distance between the two places (some 200 kilometers) by truck. The area of the land inhabited by a Bedouin family is typically thirty kilometers in diameter. Within that area, each year they move the location of their Beit Sha'ar (Bedouin's home) as well as their pastures so as not to severely degrade the land, since their sheep feed on grasses down to the roots. The household and animal waste that is left behind eventually becomes compost, enriching the soil.

As Muslims, the Bedouin are polygamous. A man is permitted to have up to four wives, each of whom is given a separate dwelling, where she lives together with her children. Marriages are arranged by the respective parents of the betrothed, and necessarily between members of the same tribe; marriages between cousins are not unusual. Their Beit Sha'ar are woven from goat hair and are divided into several living spaces and rooms for guests. The father holds absolute power in the household and is to be accorded both affection and respect from his family. The head of my host family, Sallal Muhammad Faddous, is a quiet, warm-hearted man who was blessed with twenty-six children―two with his now deceased first wife, Radwa, eleven with his second wife, Arabiya, and thirteen with his third wife, Sara.
