Separated by geographical borders but united by an ancestral silent wisdom, these two non-human characters inhabit landscapes shaped by the discreet but persistent presence of donkeys: animals historically relegated to the margins but central to the fabric of rural life on both sides of the border.<\/p>\n<p>The work questions how animals perceive their territories\u2014not as property or dominion, but as an extension of their bodies, memory, and sensory experience in motion. \u201cAn asinine tale\u201d also evokes the tragic nobility of Baltazar, the martyred donkey in Robert Bresson&#8217;s film \u201cAu hasard Balthazar,\u201d where animal innocence cuts through suffering with silent dignity. It also echoes the lyrical tenderness of Platero, the silver donkey in \u201cPlatero y yo\u201d by Juan Ram\u00f3n Jim\u00e9nez, companion to a narrator who sees in his docility a kind of mirror of the rural Andalusian soul.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;An asinine tale&#8221; is a tentative ode to radical otherness and to the possibility of communication between animals and between places\u2014an invitation to think about the world from the oblique and attentive gaze of those who move slowly, listen to the wind, and inscribe their memory in the very paths they tread.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;An asinine tale&#8221; is produced by Binaural Nodar and is also part of the author&#8217;s doctoral research carried out at the ID+ (University of Aveiro) and LiDA (ESAD, Caldas da Rainha) research centers. The project also has the collaboration of AEPGA \u2013 Association for the Study and Protection of Asinine Livestock, and is part of the artistic creations of the Tramontana Network project, co-financed by the Creative Europe program.<\/p>\n<p>Binaural Nodar is a organization supported by the Portuguese Republic \u2013 Culture | Directorate-General for the Arts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":23755,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1183,1184],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artistic-creations-2","category-news-2"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23757"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23757\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23861,"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23757\/revisions\/23861"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.binauralmedia.org\/news\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
