"D & CO", "The Masons of the heart", "All Together" or the newest "Permits to rebuild" ... these names mean nothing to you? Yet, they are highly regarded television shows across France to the chagrin of all those still with an awareness and a step back.
Indeed, broadcast including TF1, M6 and satellite cable, these emissions are primarily machines intellectually impoverished by social equality a race to the very bottom to feed a few large groups. Nothing will be spared: limited vocabulary, music and rowdy touted ubiquitous presenters unbearable excitement towards their "works", a good amount of tears and pseudo-social ...
But the most terrible is that these programs primarily involved in the destruction of a certain idea of taste, as the decoration of the architecture for the restoration our houses and apartments.
They have two great ways to insert in the minds (and high dose) ideologies devastating:
- The idea that the "decoration" is to destroy everything, to many colors and finally end a concept that is closer to the tuning of home decoration.
- The idea that the new pavilion, or even rebuilt, it is always better than an old house.
Should we rejoice that this is mainly flats which are highlighted in the hope that the coup is preserved old buildings standing ovation for this massacre? No. Indeed it is already report that sometimes Farms Village or flats Haussmann also be involved in the massacre. On the other hand some owners of old houses fascinated by these shows have the misfortune to reproduce these renovations risky and bad taste. Thus, the complex of living in an old house with character exists in a world where it is the flag that is constantly acclaimed without much would not stir ...
It is obviously not in the subtle differences between renovation and restoration, why think when the viewer is ready to absorb what is truly of "trash TV" along that emissions of "reality TV" Yet faster decried.
What happens there in France? In a country that has, if not invent, develop like no refinement of his skills down to the humblest village farms, there would be no room for a kind of "Americanization" of habitat to housing "custumisé" as it is said too much? Could we not imagine a program where small homeowners are helped by a former television came with companions for a quality restoration with educational value and aesthetic for the viewer? Apparently not because it seems that we should not make him think too much and then the TV did not have time. It seems more impressive to rebuild a red flag hideous disfiguring a neighborhood or a street in a week rather than admire the ability insert friendly restoration of the building while adapting it to a contemporary lifestyle quality.
window open on a certain state of mind of a society, these emissions are the cause, and with it other factors, the massacre of French heritage who, in contempt offered to him, must choose between abandonment by ignorance or survival by the massacre ... and with this heritage Global certain cultural impoverishment.
2011 happens to mark this year's initiatives of our most intelligent television. This will not come TF1 (who dares to play together some semblance of its newspaper assets to 13:00) or M6 but we expect that other, more informed give a chance that this legacy at the hour of sustainable development should have its place yet.
In the meantime we can only advise against this type of issue in greater numbers and any attempt to explain how each approach is not good whether it's urban, social links as lifestyle. For
end on a humorous note if some want to make gifts smart they can still send tickets to the museum of decorative arts or education in art history, architecture ... Valerie Damidot Marc Emmanuel and their colleagues of the massacre, it will be a useful gift and it promises real discovery!
