☆ ‘Manifesting’ Is a Modern Version of a Centuries-Old Idea - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2024-03-09 | by ( Tara Isabella Burton | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Reality is what you make it — at least according to those who believe in manifesting, the art and quasi-spiritual science of willing things into existence through the power of desire, attention and focus. Believe hard enough, a host of TikTok “manifesting” influencers insist, and the vibes of the universe will bring what you desire into existence. The idea of manifesting as it is understood today rose to popularity as part of a boom in online spiritualism and self-help philosophy that emerged during the pandemic. According to Google data, online searches for “manifesting” rose more than 600 percent during the first few months of the pandemic. But while the idea of manifesting may seem modern, the instinct to conflate spiritual forces, political and economic outcomes and our own personal desires is part of a longstanding American tradition that dates back much, much farther than the pandemic.

☆ ‘Madonna’ Review: The Material on the Girl

Photo: Peter Noble/Redferns/Getty ImagesIn February 1927, the British novelist Elinor Glyn published a short story in Cosmopolitan magazine that would define the then-nascent culture of celebrity. Glyn’s story explored the concept of It: the mysterious, ineffable, possibly magical quality that stars and other screen luminaries have and ordinary people don’t. Sex appeal, personal charisma, beauty—all of these contribute to It, but It is much more. And so not only a star, but an ideology of stardom, was born.

☆ Rich History, Dizzying Beauty: The Sicilian City Where Aimless Wandering Is the Point
  + stars: | 2023-08-25 | by ( Tara Isabella Burton | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
THE SUN was setting as I made my way past tombs and ruins toward the ancient amphitheater for the night’s performance. By this point, my third day in Sicily, I was prepared to be taken back in time. The show, Euripides’ “Iphigenia in Tauris” was written in the 5th century B.C., roughly when the theater might have been completed. The scalding summertime heat of the Italian island had at last receded and the smell of jasmine and bougainvillea filled the air as I took my seat.

☆ Becoming ‘Self-Made’ Stars in a Secular Age
  + stars: | 2023-06-25 | by ( Alexandra Jacobs | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
SELF-MADE: Creating Our Identities from da Vinci to the Kardashians, by Tara Isabella BurtonThe Kardashians have sold so much to America — shapewear, cosmetics, beverage upon beverage — why not throw ideas onto the pile? That highly contoured family pulls up like a caboose at the end of Tara Isabella Burton’s “Self-Made,” a fast-moving train of a book that visits a series of individuals in western history who have changed in ways major and minor the way people represent and think of themselves. “Admirers thronged” to Brummell’s house, she recounts, to see an hourslong grooming process that included “exfoliation with a coarse-hair brush, followed by a bath of milk,” and spitting in a special silver bowl. (And you thought Dior’s $40 lip oil was excessive.) A novelist with a doctorate in theology from Oxford who has written widely on travel and religion, including for The New York Times, Burton is a confident conductor on this, an express voyage over several centuries, glossing an international lingo of self-determination: “sprezzatura” and “bon ton” and “Übermensch.”

☆ Venice Minus the Mobs: A Traveler’s Guide to Its Quiet (Even Empty) Corners

IN SUMMERTIME, on days so sweltering that the cobblestones themselves seem to sweat, it is almost impossible to walk from Venice’s Rialto Bridge to the Piazza San Marco along the main roads. The surge of day-trippers clog the central pathways. A tourist struggling to haul a suitcase over a bridge is enough to bring a hundred people to a standstill. A 10-minute stroll—by map directions—can take half an hour or more. It’s the Venice so often described, and fairly decried, as a tourist trap: an on-rails carnival, less a city than a conglomeration of souvenir shops.

☆ A Visit to Italy’s Gorgeous Lake Garda Brings Its Controversial History Into View
  + stars: | 2023-05-05 | by ( Tara Isabella Burton | Photographs Paolo Prendin For The Wall Street Journal | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
But history is complicated on the shores of Lake Garda, a 143-square-mile body of water just west of Verona. In many ways, Garda—its crisp blue water reflecting the nearby Alps—feels like a curiously liminal space. Its northern shores were part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire until after World War I; even today, German-language street-signs dot the villages along its northern coast. Traces of Venetian architecture abound, remnants of the Venetian Empire’s conquering of several lakeside strongholds. On the southern shore, the beautiful town of Sermione boasts the extant grounds of a Roman villa named after the poet Catullus.
☆ The Other Georgia Welcomes You

THE JOVIAL MEN at the top of the Datvisjvari Pass have a rule: Anyone who wants to drive through it must drink a thimbleful of chacha, a local moonshine potent enough to power cars. As I approached, it seemed like this tipsy crew—who were working on the single-lane road leading from Georgia’s capital, Tbilisi, into the mountain province of Khevsureti—had been on a break. They were snacking on khachapuri, the Georgian cheese bread, and knocking back chacha. “You not drink?” They all pointed back down the road with its hairpin turns and verdant forests. In Georgia, there’s only one acceptable answer.
☆ Escape to a Grand Hotel… for $10 (Tip Included)
  + stars: | 2023-04-06 | by ( Tara Isabella Burton | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
I’VE ALWAYS had a weakness for elegant, old-world hotels. Maybe I’ve read too much Stefan Zweig, the Austrian novelist who set his work (like his 1927 novella, “Twenty-four Hours in the Life of a Woman”) in such lavish places. Or perhaps I’ve viewed “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” Wes Anderson’s 2014 confectionery pastiche, too many times. ); or a suite named after an obscure writer who stayed for one night in 1883. Rarely, though, have I slumbered in one of these old-world gems.
