Het leesplankje

As a prelude to THE NEW ICE-AGE: THE READING LESSON, made following Pinochet's coup d'état in Chile. From Amsterdam to Santiago and back in ten minutes. The Dutch writer Remco Campert said the following about the reading lesson: "It seems agitprop to me. But agitprop for what?" I never answered his question, but now it comes to mind that it was a pamphlet (for democracy, against fascism), which shoots itself to pieces - because the old images have lost their evidential value. Learning to read what the images do not mean. Johan van der Keuken
