Thank you so much. It's really scary to be here
0
1000
3000
Hvala vam mnogo. Zaista je zastrašujuće biti ovde
00:16
among the smartest of the smart.
1
4000
2000
sa najpametnijima od pametnih.
00:19
I'm here to tell you a few tales of passion.
2
7000
3000
Ovde sam da bih vam ispričala nekoliko priča o strasti.
00:23
There's a Jewish saying that I love.
3
11000
2000
Postoji jevrejska poslovica koju volim.
00:26
What is truer than truth? Answer: The story.
4
14000
5000
Šta je istinitije od istine? Odgovor je: priča.
00:33
I'm a storyteller. I want to convey something that is truer than truth
5
21000
4000
Ja sam pripovedač. Želim da prenesem nešto što je istinitije od istine
00:38
about our common humanity.
6
26000
1000
o našem zajedničkom čovečanstvu.
00:40
All stories interest me, and some haunt me
7
28000
3000
Interesuju me sve priče, a neke me proganjaju
00:43
until I end up writing them.
8
31000
2000
sve dok ih ne napišem.
00:46
Certain themes keep coming up:
9
34000
1000
Određene teme se uporno pojavljuju:
00:48
justice, loyalty, violence, death, political and social issues,
10
36000
6000
pravda, vernost, nasilje, smrt, politički i socijalni problemi,
00:54
freedom.
11
42000
1000
sloboda.
00:56
I'm aware of the mystery around us,
12
44000
2000
Svesna sam misterije koja nas okružuje,
00:59
so I write about coincidences, premonitions,
13
47000
2000
tako da pišem o slučajnostima, predosećanjima,
01:02
emotions, dreams, the power of nature, magic.
14
50000
4000
osećajima, snovima, moći prirode, magiji.
01:08
In the last 20 years I have published a few books,
15
56000
3000
U poslednjih 20 godina objavila sam nekoliko knjiga,
01:11
but I have lived in anonymity until February of 2006,
16
59000
4000
ali sam živela u anonimnosti sve do februara 2006.,
01:16
when I carried the Olympic flag in the Winter Olympics in Italy.
17
64000
3000
kada sam nosila olimpijsku zastavu na Zimskoj olimpijadi u Italiji.
01:20
That made me a celebrity. Now people recognize me in Macy's,
18
68000
5000
Zbog toga sam postala slavna. Sada me ljudi prepoznaju u "Mejsiju",
01:25
and my grandchildren think that I'm cool.
19
73000
3000
i moji unuci misle da sam kul.
01:28
(Laughter)
20
76000
1000
(Smeh)
01:29
Allow me to tell you about my four minutes of fame.
21
77000
2000
Dozvolite mi da vam ispričam o svojih četiri minuta slave.
01:32
One of the organizers of the Olympic ceremony,
22
80000
3000
Jedan od organizatora olimpijske ceremonije,
01:35
of the opening ceremony,
23
83000
1000
ceremonije otvaranja,
01:37
called me and said that I had been selected
24
85000
2000
pozvao me je i rekao da sam odabrana
01:39
to be one of the flag-bearers.
25
87000
1000
da budem jedan od nosilaca zastave.
01:42
I replied that surely this was a case of mistaken identity
26
90000
3000
Odgovorila sam da se sigurno radi o zameni identiteta,
01:45
because I'm as far as you can get from being an athlete.
27
93000
3000
jer sam jako daleko od toga da budem atletičar.
01:48
Actually, I wasn't even sure that I could go around the stadium
28
96000
3000
Zapravo, nisam ni bila sigurna da mogu da prošetam oko stadiona
01:51
without a walker.
29
99000
1000
bez šetalice.
01:52
(Laughter)
30
100000
2000
(Smeh)
01:54
I was told that this was no laughing matter.
31
102000
2000
Rekli su mi da se ne treba šaliti s tim.
01:57
This would be the first time
32
105000
1000
Ovo bi bio prvi put da
01:58
that only women would carry the Olympic flag.
33
106000
3000
samo žene nose olimpijsku zastavu.
02:01
Five women, representing five continents,
34
109000
3000
Pet žena koje predstavljaju pet kontinenata,
02:04
and three Olympic gold medal winners.
35
112000
3000
i tri osvajačice zlatne olimpijske medalje.
02:08
My first question was, naturally,
36
116000
2000
Moje prvo pitanje je bilo, naravno,
02:10
what was I going to wear?
37
118000
1000
šta će mi dati da obučem?
02:12
(Laughter)
38
120000
1000
(Smeh)
02:13
A uniform, she said,
39
121000
1000
Uniformu, rekla je,
02:15
and asked for my measurements.
40
123000
1000
i pitala me za moje mere.
02:17
My measurements.
41
125000
1000
Moje mere.
02:18
I had a vision of myself in a fluffy anorak,
42
126000
3000
Imala sam sliku sebe u perjanoj jakni,
02:21
looking like the Michelin Man.
43
129000
2000
kako izgledam kao Mišelinova maskota.
02:23
(Laughter)
44
131000
1000
(Smeh)
02:24
By the middle of February,
45
132000
1000
Sredinom februara
02:26
I found myself in Turin, where enthusiastic crowds
46
134000
3000
našla sam se u Torinu, gde je radosna masa
02:29
cheered when any of the 80 Olympic teams was in the street.
47
137000
4000
klicala kada je bilo koji od 80 olimpijskih timova bio na ulici.
02:34
Those athletes had sacrificed everything to compete in the games.
48
142000
4000
Ti atletičari su sve žrtvovali samo da bi se takmičili na igrama.
02:39
They all deserved to win, but there's the element of luck.
49
147000
3000
Svi su zaslužili da pobede, ali je tu i elemenat sreće.
02:43
A speck of snow, an inch of ice, the force of the wind,
50
151000
4000
Mrvica snega, malo leda, snaga vetra,
02:47
can determine the result of a race or a game.
51
155000
3000
mogu da odluče o rezultatu trke ili utakmice.
02:51
However, what matters most -- more than training or luck -- is the heart.
52
159000
5000
Međutim ono što se najviše računa -- više od treninga ili sreće -- je srce.
02:57
Only a fearless and determined heart will get the gold medal.
53
165000
4000
Samo neustrašivo i odlučno srce će osvojiti zlatnu medalju.
03:02
It is all about passion.
54
170000
1000
Sve je u strasti.
03:04
The streets of Turin were covered with red posters
55
172000
4000
Ulice Torina bile su preplavljene crvenim posterima
03:08
announcing the slogan of the Olympics.
56
176000
2000
koji su najavljivali slogan Olimpijade.
03:11
Passion lives here. Isn't it always true?
57
179000
4000
Ovde živi strast. Zar to nije uvek istina?
03:16
Heart is what drives us and determines our fate.
58
184000
4000
Srce je ono što nas vodi i odlučuje o našoj sudbini.
03:20
That is what I need for my characters in my books:
59
188000
3000
To je ono što mi treba za likove iz mojih knjiga:
03:24
a passionate heart.
60
192000
1000
strastveno srce.
03:26
I need mavericks, dissidents, adventurers, outsiders and rebels,
61
194000
5000
Potrebni su mi odmetnici, disidenti, avanturisti, autsajderi i buntovnici,
03:31
who ask questions, bend the rules and take risks.
62
199000
4000
koji postavljaju pitanja, odstupaju od pravila i rizikuju.
03:35
People like all of you in this room.
63
203000
2000
Ljudi kao svi vi u ovoj prostoriji.
03:38
Nice people with common sense do not make interesting characters.
64
206000
5000
Fini ljudi sa zdravim razumom nisu zanimljivi likovi.
03:43
(Laughter)
65
211000
1000
(Smeh)
03:44
They only make good former spouses.
66
212000
2000
Oni su samo dobri da budu bivši supružnici.
03:46
(Laughter)
67
214000
2000
(Smeh)
03:48
(Applause)
68
216000
3000
(Aplauz)
03:51
In the green room of the stadium, I met the other flag bearers:
69
219000
3000
U zelenoj sobi stadiona upoznala sam druge nosioce zastave:
03:54
three athletes, and the actresses Susan Sarandon and Sophia Loren.
70
222000
5000
tri atletičarke i glumice Suzan Sarandon i Sofiju Loren.
04:00
Also, two women with passionate hearts:
71
228000
2000
I još dve žene sa strastvenim srcima:
04:02
Wangari Maathai, the Nobel prizewinner from Kenya
72
230000
4000
Vangari Matai, dobitnicu Nobelove nagrade iz Kenije
04:06
who has planted 30 million trees. And by doing so,
73
234000
3000
koja je zasadila 30 miliona drveća i time
04:09
she has changed the soil, the weather,
74
237000
3000
je promenila zemljište, klimu
04:12
in some places in Africa, and of course
75
240000
3000
u nekim mestima u Africi i naravno
04:15
the economic conditions in many villages.
76
243000
2000
ekonomsko stanje u mnogim selima.
04:18
And Somaly Mam, a Cambodian activist who fights passionately
77
246000
5000
I Somali Mam, aktivistkinju iz Kambodže koja se strastveno bori
04:23
against child prostitution.
78
251000
1000
protiv dečije prostitucije.
04:25
When she was 14 years old, her grandfather sold her to a brothel.
79
253000
4000
Kada je imala 14 godina, njen deda ju je prodao bordelu.
04:30
She told us of little girls raped by men who believe that
80
258000
4000
Rekla nam je da su devojčice silovali muškarci koji veruju da
04:34
having sex with a very young virgin will cure them from AIDS.
81
262000
3000
će ih seks sa veoma mladom nevinom devojkom izlečiti od AIDS-a.
04:38
And of brothels where children are forced to receive five,
82
266000
4000
I pričala nam je o bordelima gde su deca primorana da prime pet,
04:42
15 clients per day,
83
270000
2000
15 klijenata dnevno,
04:44
and if they rebel, they are tortured with electricity.
84
272000
3000
i ako se pobune, muče ih strujom.
04:49
In the green room I received my uniform.
85
277000
2000
Dobila sam moju uniformu u zelenoj sobi.
04:52
It was not the kind of outfit that I normally wear,
86
280000
2000
To nije bila odeća koju bih inače nosila,
04:55
but it was far from the Michelin Man suit
87
283000
2000
ali je bila daleko od odela čovečuljka Mišelina
04:57
that I had anticipated. Not bad, really.
88
285000
3000
koje sam očekivala. Zaista nije bilo tako loše.
05:00
I looked like a refrigerator.
89
288000
1000
Izgledala sam kao frižider.
05:02
(Laughter)
90
290000
1000
(Smeh)
05:03
But so did most of the flag-bearers, except Sophia Loren,
91
291000
3000
Ali isto tako su izgledali i drugi nosioci zastave, osim Sofije Loren,
05:07
the universal symbol of beauty and passion.
92
295000
3000
univerzalnog simbola lepote i strasti.
05:10
Sophia is over 70 and she looks great.
93
298000
3000
Sofija ima preko 70 godina i izgleda sjajno.
05:14
She's sexy, slim and tall, with a deep tan.
94
302000
4000
Seksi je, vitka i visoka, preplanula.
05:18
Now, how can you have a deep tan and have no wrinkles?
95
306000
3000
Ali kako možeš da budeš preplanuo, a da nemaš bore?
05:22
I don't know.
96
310000
1000
Ne znam.
05:23
When asked in a TV interview, "How could she look so good?"
97
311000
4000
Kada su je pitali u intervjuu na televiziji: "Kako može da izgleda tako dobro?"
05:28
She replied, "Posture. My back is always straight,
98
316000
4000
Odgovorila je: "Stav. Leđa su mi uvek uspravna,
05:33
and I don't make old people's noises."
99
321000
2000
i ne proizvodim staračke zvuke."
05:35
(Laughter)
100
323000
2000
(Smeh)
05:37
So, there you have some free advice
101
325000
2000
Tako da, evo vam besplatnog saveta
05:39
from one of the most beautiful women on earth.
102
327000
3000
od jedne od najlepših žena na planeti.
05:42
No grunting, no coughing, no wheezing,
103
330000
3000
Nema groktanja, kašljanja, šištanja,
05:45
no talking to yourselves, no farting.
104
333000
2000
nema pričanja sa samim sobom, nema prdenja.
05:47
(Laughter)
105
335000
1000
(Smeh)
05:48
Well, she didn't say that exactly.
106
336000
1000
Pa dobro, nije baš tako rekla.
05:50
(Laughter)
107
338000
2000
(Smeh)
05:52
At some point around midnight,
108
340000
2000
U nekom trenutku oko ponoći,
05:54
we were summoned to the wings of the stadium,
109
342000
2000
pozvani smo do krila stadiona,
05:56
and the loudspeakers announced the Olympic flag, and the music started --
110
344000
4000
zvučnici su najavili Olimpijsku zastavu i muzika je počela --
06:00
by the way, the same music that starts here,
111
348000
2000
inače, ista muzika koja ovde počinje,
06:02
the Aida March.
112
350000
1000
Triumfalni Marš iz Aide.
06:04
Sophia Loren was right in front of me -- she's a foot taller than I am,
113
352000
5000
Sofija Loren je bila tačno ispred mene -- za stopu je viša od mene,
06:09
not counting the poofy hair.
114
357000
2000
ako ne računamo pufnastu kosu.
06:11
(Laughter)
115
359000
1000
(Smeh)
06:12
She walked elegantly, like a giraffe on the African savannah,
116
360000
4000
Hodala je elegantno, kao žirafa na afričkoj savani,
06:17
holding the flag on her shoulder. I jogged behind
117
365000
4000
držeći zastavu na ramenu. Ja sam džogirala iza
06:21
(Laughter)
118
369000
1000
(Smeh)
06:22
-- on my tiptoes -- holding the flag on my extended arm,
119
370000
4000
-- na vrhovima prstiju -- držeći zastavu na ispruženoj ruci,
06:27
so that my head was actually under the damn flag.
120
375000
3000
tako da mi je glava bila ispod te proklete zastave.
06:30
(Laughter)
121
378000
2000
(Smeh)
06:32
All the cameras were, of course, on Sophia.
122
380000
2000
Sve kamere su naravno bile uprte u Sofiju,
06:35
That was fortunate for me, because in most press photos
123
383000
3000
na moju sreću, jer se na većini fotografija u novinama
06:38
I appear too, although often between Sophia's legs.
124
386000
4000
pojavljujem i ja, mada često između Sofijinih nogu.
06:42
(Laughter)
125
390000
2000
(Smeh)
06:44
A place where most men would love to be.
126
392000
3000
Mesto gde bi većina muškaraca volela da bude.
06:47
(Laughter)
127
395000
1000
(Smeh)
06:48
(Applause)
128
396000
3000
(Aplauz)
06:51
The best four minutes of my entire life
129
399000
3000
Najboljih četiri minuta mog života
06:54
were those in the Olympic stadium.
130
402000
2000
bili su ti na Olimpijskim igrama.
06:56
My husband is offended when I say this --
131
404000
3000
Moj muž se uvredi kada kažem ovo --
06:59
although I have explained to him that what we do in private
132
407000
3000
mada sam mu objasnila da ono što mi nasamo radimo
07:02
usually takes less than four minutes --
133
410000
2000
obično traje manje od četiri minuta --
07:04
(Laughter)
134
412000
1000
(Smeh)
07:05
-- so he shouldn't take it personally.
135
413000
2000
-- tako da ne bi trebalo to da shvati lično.
07:08
I have all the press clippings of those four magnificent minutes,
136
416000
4000
Imam sve isečke iz novina tih sjajnih četiri minuta,
07:12
because I don't want to forget them
137
420000
2000
jer ne želim da ih zaboravim
07:14
when old age destroys my brain cells.
138
422000
3000
kada mi starost uništi moždane ćelije.
07:17
I want to carry in my heart forever the key word of the Olympics --
139
425000
4000
Želim zauvek da nosim u srcu ključnu reč Olimpijskih igara --
07:21
passion.
140
429000
2000
strast.
07:23
So here's a tale of passion.
141
431000
2000
Evo jedne priče o strasti.
07:26
The year is 1998, the place is a prison camp
142
434000
4000
Godina je 1998., mesto je zatvorenički kamp
07:30
for Tutsi refugees in Congo.
143
438000
2000
za Tutsi izbeglice u Kongu.
07:32
By the way, 80 percent of all refugees and displaced people in the world
144
440000
6000
Inače, 80 posto svih izbeglica i izgnanika u svetu
07:38
are women and girls.
145
446000
1000
su žene i devojčice.
07:40
We can call this place in Congo a death camp,
146
448000
3000
Ovo mesto u Kongu možemo nazvati kamp smrti,
07:43
because those who are not killed will die of disease or starvation.
147
451000
4000
jer oni koji nisu ubijeni, umreće od bolesti i izgladnjivanja.
07:48
The protagonists of this story
148
456000
3000
Likovi ove priče
07:51
are a young woman, Rose Mapendo, and her children.
149
459000
3000
su mlada žena Roz Mapendo i njena deca.
07:55
She's pregnant and a widow.
150
463000
2000
Ona je trudna i udovica je.
07:57
Soldiers have forced her to watch
151
465000
2000
Vojnici su je naterali da gleda
07:59
as her husband was tortured and killed.
152
467000
2000
kako joj muža muče i ubijaju.
08:02
Somehow she manages to keep her seven children alive,
153
470000
3000
Nekako uspeva da održi svojih sedmoro dece živima,
08:06
and a few months later, she gives birth to premature twins.
154
474000
3000
i nekoliko meseci nakon toga, porađa se pre vremena sa blizancima.
08:10
Two tiny little boys.
155
478000
1000
Dva sićušna, mala dečaka.
08:12
She cuts the umbilical cord with a stick,
156
480000
2000
Seče pupčanu vrpcu štapom,
08:15
and ties it with her own hair.
157
483000
2000
i vezuje je sopstvenom kosom.
08:18
She names the twins after the camp's commanders
158
486000
3000
Daje ime blizancima po čuvarima iz kampa
08:21
to gain their favor, and feeds them with black tea
159
489000
3000
da bi im se dodvorila, i hrani ih crnim čajem
08:25
because her milk cannot sustain them.
160
493000
2000
jer njeno mleko ne može da ih održi.
08:28
When the soldiers burst in her cell to rape her oldest daughter,
161
496000
3000
Kada vojnici upadnu u njenu ćeliju da siluju njenu najstariju ćerku,
08:31
she grabs hold of her and refuses to let go,
162
499000
3000
ona je zgrabi i odbija da je pusti,
08:34
even when they hold a gun to her head.
163
502000
2000
čak i kada joj prislanjaju pištolj uz glavu.
08:38
Somehow, the family survives for 16 months,
164
506000
3000
Porodica nekako preživi 16 meseci,
08:42
and then, by extraordinary luck, and the passionate heart
165
510000
4000
i tada, nekom neverovatnom srećom i uz pomoć strastvenog srca
08:46
of a young American man, Sasha Chanoff,
166
514000
4000
jednog mladog Amerikanca, Saše Šanofa,
08:51
who manages to put her in a U.S. rescue plane,
167
519000
3000
koji uspeva da ih stavi u spasilački avion SAD-a,
08:55
Rose Mapendo and her nine children end up in Phoenix, Arizona,
168
523000
5000
Roz Mapendo i njenih devetoro dece završe u Feniksu, Arizoni,
09:00
where they're now living and thriving.
169
528000
2000
gde trenutno žive i napreduju.
09:04
Mapendo, in Swahili, means great love.
170
532000
4000
Mapendo, na svahili jeziku znači velika ljubav.
09:11
The protagonists of my books are strong and passionate women
171
539000
2000
Likovi mojih knjiga su jake i strastvene žene
09:14
like Rose Mapendo.
172
542000
1000
kao što je Roz Mapendo.
09:15
I don't make them up. There's no need for that.
173
543000
3000
Ne izmišljam ih. Nema potrebe za tim.
09:18
I look around and I see them everywhere.
174
546000
2000
Pogledam oko sebe i svuda ih vidim.
09:21
I have worked with women and for women all my life.
175
549000
2000
Radila sam sa ženama i za žene celog mog života.
09:24
I know them well.
176
552000
1000
Poznajem ih dobro.
09:26
I was born in ancient times, at the end of the world,
177
554000
3000
Rođena sam u prastarom dobu, na kraju sveta,
09:30
in a patriarchal Catholic and conservative family.
178
558000
3000
u patrijarhalnoj, katoličkoj i konzervativnoj porodici.
09:34
No wonder that by age five I was a raging feminist --
179
562000
3000
NIje čudno što sam već sa 5 godina bila vatrena feministkinja --
09:38
although the term had not reached Chile yet,
180
566000
2000
mada taj termin još uvek nije bio stigao do Čilea,
09:41
so nobody knew what the heck was wrong with me.
181
569000
2000
tako da niko nije znao šta to nije u redu sa mnom.
09:43
(Laughter)
182
571000
2000
(Smeh)
09:45
I would soon find out that there was a high price to pay
183
573000
3000
Uskoro sam saznala da je cena koju je trebalo platiti za moju slobodu
09:48
for my freedom, and for questioning the patriarchy.
184
576000
3000
bila previsoka, kao i za sumnjanje u patrijarhalnost.
09:51
But I was happy to pay it, because for every blow that I received,
185
579000
4000
Ali bila sam srećna jer sam je plaćala, jer za svaki udarac koji sam dobila
09:55
I was able to deliver two.
186
583000
2000
mogla sam da uzvratim dva.
09:57
(Laughter)
187
585000
1000
(Smeh)
09:59
Once, when my daughter Paula was in her twenties,
188
587000
2000
Kada je moja ćerka Paula bila u svojim dvadesetim,
10:01
she said to me that feminism was dated, that I should move on.
189
589000
4000
rekla mi je da je feminizam zastareo, da treba da napredujem.
10:06
We had a memorable fight. Feminism is dated?
190
594000
3000
Imale smo nezaboravnu svađu. Feminizam je zastareo?
10:10
Yes, for privileged women like my daughter and all of us here today,
191
598000
4000
Da, za privilegovane žene kao što je moja ćerka i sve nas ovde danas,
10:15
but not for most of our sisters in the rest of the world
192
603000
3000
ali ne i za većinu naših sestara u ostalim delovima sveta
10:18
who are still forced into premature marriage,
193
606000
3000
koje i dalje primoravaju na prerani brak,
10:21
prostitution, forced labor --
194
609000
2000
prostituciju, prinudni rad --
10:24
they have children that they don't want or they cannot feed.
195
612000
3000
Imaju decu koju ne žele ili ne mogu da hrane.
10:28
They have no control over their bodies or their lives.
196
616000
3000
Nemaju kontrolu nad svojim telima ili svojim životima.
10:31
They have no education and no freedom.
197
619000
3000
Nemaju obrazovanje niti slobodu.
10:34
They are raped, beaten up and sometimes killed with impunity.
198
622000
4000
Silovane su, pretučene i ponekad i ubijene, a ubice prolaze nekažnjeno.
10:39
For most Western young women of today,
199
627000
2000
Za većinu današnjih mladih žena sa zapada
10:41
being called a feminist is an insult.
200
629000
2000
uvreda je ako ih neko nazove feministkinjama.
10:44
Feminism has never been sexy, but let me assure you
201
632000
3000
Feminizam nikada nije bio seksi, ali dozvolite da vas uverim
10:47
that it never stopped me from flirting,
202
635000
2000
da me nikada nije odvratio od flertovanja,
10:49
and I have seldom suffered from lack of men.
203
637000
3000
i retko sam patila od manjka muškaraca.
10:52
(Laughter)
204
640000
2000
(Smeh)
10:54
Feminism is not dead, by no means.
205
642000
2000
Feminizam nikako nije mrtav.
10:56
It has evolved. If you don't like the term,
206
644000
3000
Evoluirao je. Ako vam se ne sviđa termin,
11:00
change it, for Goddess' sake.
207
648000
1000
promenite ga, zaboga.
11:01
Call it Aphrodite, or Venus, or bimbo, or whatever you want;
208
649000
5000
Zovite ga Afrodita ili Venus ili bimbo ili kako god hoćete;
11:06
the name doesn't matter,
209
654000
1000
ime nije važno,
11:07
as long as we understand what it is about, and we support it.
210
655000
3000
dokle god razumemo šta je i podržavamo ga.
11:11
So here's another tale of passion, and this is a sad one.
211
659000
3000
Evo još jedne priče o strasti, ova je tužna.
11:16
The place is a small women's clinic in a village in Bangladesh.
212
664000
4000
Mesto dešavanja je mala ženska klinika u jednom selu u Bangladešu.
11:20
The year is 2005.
213
668000
2000
Godina je 2005.
11:23
Jenny is a young American dental hygienist
214
671000
2000
Dženi je mlada Američka zubna tehničarka,
11:26
who has gone to the clinic as a volunteer
215
674000
2000
koja je otišla u kliniku kao volonter
11:28
during her three-week vacation.
216
676000
2000
tokom svog tronedeljnog odmora.
11:31
She's prepared to clean teeth,
217
679000
1000
Spremna je da čisti zube,
11:33
but when she gets there, she finds out that there are no doctors,
218
681000
3000
ali kada stigne tamo, saznaje da tamo nema doktora,
11:36
no dentists, and the clinic is just a hut full of flies.
219
684000
4000
nema zubara, a klinika je samo jedna koliba puna muva.
11:41
Outside, there is a line of women
220
689000
2000
Ispred je red žena
11:43
who have waited several hours to be treated.
221
691000
3000
koje čekaju već nekoliko sati da budu pregledane.
11:46
The first patient is in excruciating pain
222
694000
3000
Prva pacijentkinja je u neverovatnim bolovima
11:49
because she has several rotten molars.
223
697000
2000
jer ima nekoliko slomljenih kutnjaka.
11:52
Jenny realizes that the only solution is to pull out the bad teeth.
224
700000
4000
Dženi shvata da je jedino rešenje da izvadi loše zube.
11:56
She's not licensed for that; she has never done it.
225
704000
3000
Nema licencu za to, nikada to nije radila.
12:00
She risks a lot and she's terrified.
226
708000
2000
Rizikuje mnogo i preplašena je.
12:02
She doesn't even have the proper instruments,
227
710000
3000
Nema čak ni odgovarajuće instrumente.
12:05
but fortunately she has brought some Novocaine.
228
713000
3000
ali srećom ponela je neke analgetike.
12:09
Jenny has a brave and passionate heart.
229
717000
3000
Dženi ima hrabro i strastveno srce.
12:13
She murmurs a prayer and she goes ahead with the operation.
230
721000
3000
Promrmlja molitvu i nastavlja sa operacijom.
12:17
At the end, the relieved patient kisses her hands.
231
725000
3000
Na kraju, pacijentkinja kojoj je laknulo ljubi joj ruku.
12:21
That day the hygienist pulls out many more teeth.
232
729000
3000
Tog dana higijeničarka vadi još mnogo zuba.
12:25
The next morning, when she comes again to the so-called clinic,
233
733000
4000
Sledećeg jutra kada dolazi opet do takozvane klinike,
12:29
her first patient is waiting for her with her husband.
234
737000
3000
njena prva pacijentkinja je čeka sa svojim mužem.
12:33
The woman's face looks like a watermelon.
235
741000
3000
Ženino lice izgleda kao lubenica.
12:36
It is so swollen that you can't even see the eyes.
236
744000
3000
Toliko je otečeno da ne mogu ni oči da joj se vide.
12:40
The husband, furious, threatens to kill the American.
237
748000
2000
Razbesneli muž preti da će ubiti Amerikanku.
12:43
Jenny is horrified at what she has done,
238
751000
3000
Dženi je užasnuta onim što je uradila.
12:47
but then the translator explains
239
755000
2000
ali onda prevodilac objašnjava
12:50
that the patient's condition has nothing to do with the operation.
240
758000
3000
da stanje pacijentkinje nema nikakve veze sa operacijom.
12:54
The day before, her husband beat her up because she was not home
241
762000
4000
Prethodnog dana, muž ju je pretukao jer nije bila kod kuće
12:58
in time to prepare dinner for him.
242
766000
3000
na vreme da mu spremi večeru.
13:02
Millions of women live like this today.
243
770000
3000
Milioni žena žive tako danas.
13:05
They are the poorest of the poor.
244
773000
2000
One su najsiromašnije među siromašnima.
13:08
Although women do two-thirds of the world's labor,
245
776000
3000
Iako žene rade jednu trećinu poslova u svetu,
13:11
they own less than one percent of the world's assets.
246
779000
3000
one poseduju manje od jednog procenta svetskog prihoda.
13:15
They are paid less than men for the same work
247
783000
3000
Plaćene su manje od muškaraca za isti posao
13:18
if they're paid at all, and they remain vulnerable
248
786000
3000
ako su uopšte plaćene, i ostaju ranjive
13:22
because they have no economic independence,
249
790000
2000
jer nemaju ekonomsku nezavisnost
13:24
and they are constantly threatened by exploitation,
250
792000
2000
i bez prestanka im preti eksploatacija,
13:27
violence and abuse.
251
795000
1000
nasilje i zlostavljanje.
13:29
It is a fact that giving women education, work,
252
797000
3000
Činjenica je da dajući ženama obrazovanje, posao,
13:32
the ability to control their own income,
253
800000
2000
mogućnost da same kontrolišu svoja primanja,
13:34
inherit and own property, benefits the society.
254
802000
4000
da nasleđuju i imaju posed, doprinosi društvu.
13:38
If a woman is empowered,
255
806000
1000
Ako žena ima moć
13:40
her children and her family will be better off.
256
808000
2000
njena deca i porodica će biti bogatiji.
13:43
If families prosper, the village prospers,
257
811000
3000
Ako porodice napreduju, selo napreduje,
13:46
and eventually so does the whole country.
258
814000
2000
i konačno i cela zemlja.
13:49
Wangari Maathai goes to a village in Kenya.
259
817000
2000
Vangari Matai odlazi u selo u Keniji.
13:51
She talks with the women and explains that the land is barren
260
819000
4000
Razgovara sa ženama i objašnjava da je zemlja neplodna
13:55
because they have cut and sold the trees.
261
823000
2000
jer su posekli i prodali drveće.
13:57
She gets the women to plant new trees and water them,
262
825000
3000
Zahvaljujući njoj žene sade nova drveća i zalivaju ih
14:01
drop by drop.
263
829000
1000
kap po kap.
14:02
In a matter of five or six years, they have a forest,
264
830000
4000
Za samo pet ili šest godina, imaju šumu,
14:06
the soil is enriched, and the village is saved.
265
834000
3000
zemljište je obogaćeno, a selo je spašeno.
14:10
The poorest and most backward societies
266
838000
2000
Najsiromašnija i najnazadnija društva
14:12
are always those that put women down.
267
840000
3000
su uvek ona koja sputavaju žene.
14:16
Yet this obvious truth is ignored by governments
268
844000
3000
Ali ovu očiglednu istinu vlade ignorišu
14:19
and also by philanthropy.
269
847000
1000
a isto tako i filantropi.
14:21
For every dollar given to a women's program,
270
849000
3000
Za svaki dolar koji se da za ženski program,
14:24
20 dollars are given to men's programs.
271
852000
3000
20 dolara se da za muške programe.
14:28
Women are 51 percent of humankind.
272
856000
2000
Žene čine 51 posto ljudske populacije.
14:31
Empowering them will change everything --
273
859000
2000
Time što će im se dati moć sve će se promeniti --
14:33
more than technology and design and entertainment.
274
861000
4000
više nego tehnologijom i dizajnom i zabavom.
14:37
I can promise you that women working together --
275
865000
4000
Mogu da vam obećam da žene koje rade zajedno --
14:41
linked, informed and educated --
276
869000
2000
povezane, informisane i obrazovane --
14:43
can bring peace and prosperity to this forsaken planet.
277
871000
4000
mogu da donesu mir i napredak ovoj zapuštenoj planeti.
14:48
In any war today, most of the casualties are civilians,
278
876000
4000
U bilo kom ratu danas, većina žrtava su civili,
14:52
mainly women and children. They are collateral damage.
279
880000
3000
većinom žene i deca. Oni su kolateralna šteta.
14:56
Men run the world, and look at the mess we have.
280
884000
3000
Muškarci upravljaju svetom i pogledajte ovaj haos.
15:00
What kind of world do we want?
281
888000
2000
Kakav svet želimo?
15:02
This is a fundamental question that most of us are asking.
282
890000
4000
Ovo je fundamentalno pitanje koje većina nas postavlja.
15:06
Does it make sense to participate in the existing world order?
283
894000
4000
Da li ima smisla da učestvujemo u postojećem svetskom poretku?
15:11
We want a world where life is preserved
284
899000
3000
Želimo svet gde se život čuva
15:14
and the quality of life is enriched for everybody,
285
902000
2000
i gde se kvalitet života obogaćuje za svakoga,
15:17
not only for the privileged.
286
905000
1000
ne samo za privilegovane.
15:20
In January I saw an exhibit of Fernando Botero's paintings
287
908000
4000
U januaru sam videla postavku izložbe Fernanda Botera
15:24
at the UC Berkeley library.
288
912000
3000
u biblioteci Berkli univerziteta.
15:27
No museum or gallery in the United States,
289
915000
3000
Nijedan muzej ili galerija u Sjedinjenim Državama,
15:30
except for the New York gallery that carries Botero's work,
290
918000
4000
osim njujorške galerije koja ima Boterov rad,
15:34
has dared to show the paintings because the theme
291
922000
3000
nije se usudila da pokaže slike jer je njihova tema
15:37
is the Abu Ghraib prison.
292
925000
2000
Abu Graib zatvor.
15:39
They are huge paintings of torture and abuse of power,
293
927000
4000
To su ogromne slike mučenja i iskorišćavanja moći
15:43
in the voluminous Botero style.
294
931000
2000
u raskošnom Boterovom stilu.
15:46
I have not been able to get those images out of my mind
295
934000
3000
Nisam bila u stanju da izbacim te slike iz misli
15:50
or my heart.
296
938000
1000
ili srca.
15:52
What I fear most is power with impunity.
297
940000
3000
Najviše se plašim moći koja prolazi nekažnjeno.
15:56
I fear abuse of power, and the power to abuse.
298
944000
2000
Plašim se zloupotrebe moći i moći da se zloupotrebljava.
15:59
In our species, the alpha males define reality,
299
947000
3000
U našoj vrsti, alfa mužjaci definišu realnost,
16:02
and force the rest of the pack to accept that reality
300
950000
3000
i primoravaju ostatak da prihvati tu realnost
16:05
and follow the rules.
301
953000
1000
i da poštuje pravila.
16:07
The rules change all the time, but they always benefit them,
302
955000
3000
Pravila se menjaju stalno, ali uvek u njihovu korist,
16:10
and in this case, the trickle-down effect,
303
958000
2000
pa i u ovom slučaju, silazni efekat,
16:13
which does not work in economics, works perfectly.
304
961000
2000
koji ne funkcioniše u ekonomiji, savršeno radi.
16:16
Abuse trickles down from the top of the ladder to the bottom.
305
964000
3000
Zloupotreba se spušta od najviše stepenice društvene lestvice prema dnu.
16:20
Women and children, especially the poor, are at the bottom.
306
968000
3000
Žene i deca, posebno ona siromašna, nalaze se na dnu.
16:24
Even the most destitute of men have someone they can abuse --
307
972000
3000
Čak i najbeznadežniji muškarci imaju nekoga koga mogu da zloupotrebe --
16:27
a woman or a child.
308
975000
2000
ženu ili dete.
16:30
I'm fed up with the power that a few exert over the many
309
978000
4000
Dosta mi je moći koju malobrojni sprovode nad većinom
16:34
through gender, income, race, and class.
310
982000
2000
kroz pol, primanja, rasu i klasu.
16:37
I think that the time is ripe to make fundamental changes
311
985000
4000
Mislim da je krajnje vreme da se donesu promene od velikog značaja
16:41
in our civilization.
312
989000
1000
za našu civilizaciju.
16:42
But for real change, we need feminine energy
313
990000
3000
Ali za pravu promenu nam je potrebna ženska energija
16:45
in the management of the world.
314
993000
1000
u upravljanju svetom.
16:47
We need a critical number of women in positions of power,
315
995000
3000
Potreban nam je veliki broj žena na pozicijama moći,
16:50
and we need to nurture the feminine energy in men.
316
998000
3000
i potrebno je da negujemo žensku energiju u muškarcima.
16:54
I'm talking about men with young minds, of course.
317
1002000
3000
Govorim o muškarcima sa mladim mozgovima naravno.
16:57
Old guys are hopeless; we have to wait for them to die off.
318
1005000
3000
Stari muškarci su beznadežni; moraćemo da sačekamo da izumru.
17:00
(Laughter)
319
1008000
3000
(Smeh)
17:03
Yes, I would love to have Sophia Loren's long legs
320
1011000
4000
Da, volela bih da imam duge noge Sofije Loren
17:07
and legendary breasts.
321
1015000
2000
i legendarne grudi.
17:09
But given a choice, I would rather have the warrior hearts
322
1017000
3000
Ali kada bih imala izbora pre bih imala ratničko srce
17:12
of Wangari Maathai, Somaly Mam, Jenny and Rose Mapendo.
323
1020000
5000
Vagari Matai, Somali Mame, Dženi i Rouz Mapendo.
17:17
I want to make this world good.
324
1025000
3000
Želim da učinim ovaj svet dobrim.
17:20
Not better, but to make it good.
325
1028000
2000
Ne boljim, već dobrim.
17:23
Why not? It is possible. Look around in this room --
326
1031000
4000
Zašto da ne? Moguće je. Pogledajte oko sebe u ovoj prostoriji --
17:28
all this knowledge, energy, talent and technology.
327
1036000
4000
svo to znanje, energija, talenat i tehnologija.
17:33
Let's get off our fannies, roll up our sleeves
328
1041000
3000
Dignimo se, zasucimo rukave
17:36
and get to work, passionately,
329
1044000
2000
i prihvatimo se posla, strastveno,
17:38
in creating an almost perfect world.
330
1046000
3000
da bismo stvorili skoro pa savršen svet.
17:42
Thank you.
331
1050000
2000
Hvala vam.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Isabel Allende - NovelistIsabel Allende writes stories of passion. Her novels and memoirs, including The House of the Spirits and Eva Luna, tell the stories of women and men who live with passionate commitment -- to love, to their world, to an ideal.
Why you should listen
As a novelist and memoirist, Isabel Allende writes of passionate lives, including her own. Born into a Chilean family with political ties, she went into exile in the United States in the 1970s—an event that, she believes, created her as a writer. Her voice blends sweeping narrative with touches of magical realism; her stories are romantic, in the very best sense of the word. Her novels include The House of the Spirits, Eva Luna and The Stories of Eva Luna, and her latest, Maya's Notebook and Ripper. And don't forget her adventure trilogy for young readers— City of the Beasts, Kingdom of the Golden Dragon and Forest of the Pygmies.
As a memoirist, she has written about her vision of her lost Chile, in My Invented Country, and movingly tells the story of her life to her own daughter, in Paula. Her book Aphrodite: A Memoir of the Senses memorably linked two sections of the bookstore that don't see much crossover: Erotica and Cookbooks. Just as vital is her community work: The Isabel Allende Foundation works with nonprofits in the San Francisco Bay Area and Chile to empower and protect women and girls—understanding that empowering women is the only true route to social and economic justice.
