Lo que no ha asimilado Ellman es que ahora todo el audiovisual es audiovisual basura: tiene la vida contada en el fin de semana de estreno y poco m\u00e1s. Y  todo es absorbido m\u00e1s tarde o m\u00e1s temprano en un anuncio de refresco, o en una pel\u00edcula, o en un reportaje de la revista de moda del mes. Todo. Jugar al pa\u00f1uelo, ser un tipo raro con gafas, tirar piedras a los r\u00edos, salir a la calle sin ropa inerior, hacerte dibujos con cicatrices. Todo.<\/p>\n<p>La trampa de Ellman, y la de la intectualidad en general, es dibujarse un horizonte ficticio en el que hay una serie de temas que el <em>par\u00e1sito<\/em> audiovisual no puede tocar.  Esa idea es mentira. La \u00fanica parte que est\u00e1 firmemente a salvo son las ecuaciones. Todo lo dem\u00e1s, va a caer siempre en esa zona que a Ellman le pone hist\u00e9rica. La gracia, evidentemente, es que a Ellman, como a los <em>par\u00e1sitos<\/em> audiovisuales, s\u00f3lo le interesa lo que no son ecuaciones. Que grite todo lo que quiera: no hay soluci\u00f3n.
