when the life of a salman rushdie or another literary tribesman is declared open season for all religious or secular psychopaths, we should, as i proposed at the time, organize an unmanned aerial -- [inaudible] of those contemporary broom sticks known as the hot air balloons, load the wicker baskets with the allegedly offending material and using the latest witchcraft technology known as remote control, spew their contents all over humpty dumpty's wall. sooner or later true power will lend a hand -- [inaudible] sure to visit our geography of of -- [inaudible] and see the momentum that was begun north of the continent has carried not only southwards to sudan, the congo and zimbabwe, but further eastward to places like iran where writers and protagonists of their rights of the mind and the existence of daily insecurity under one form of menace to another; where activists, male and female, old or young are still secretly hanged in this -- in state prisons. paranoia has all but stifled the freedom that attaches to all forms of creativity, turning them into furtive exiles. i do not attach to m

well, let me begin by saying it's self-evident -- well, no, i'll begin by saying like salman i was a child writer and it was exactly how he described it and what it felt like to be in that strange building. central park south. on the subject of the day, the state does not have an imagination. the state is not capable of imagining. and salman's wonderful quote from danielle tish, tish of the soviet tito era which is to say everything has to be done in triple irony, sometimes to get it past the sensors but simply because the situation was deeply ironic and, therefore, it needed to be read that way. the state doesn't have a memory -- doesn't have an imagination. individuals have imagination. individuals turn imagination into acts. they may use the collective unconscious. they may use society but it comes out of individuals and i suppose people like us have a very simple job which is to do the practical work of giving the forum of language to the imagination of the individuals. it's already there. in the early 20th century was filled with people trying to suggest that we were creating it

participants include toni morrison, salman rushdie and dale peck. this is part of the 2011 world voice festival held annually in new york city. it's just under three hours. >> okay. one of the things having this working day i am sure other people will join as the day goes on. one of the reasons for having it was to deflect 25, 26 years later after the mid 80's on some of the themes that were discussed and what has happened since. people forget the sort of legendary 1986 congress that it wasn't open to the general public but there was a closed congress in which all the sessions were only for ten members and i guess members of the press. the new version of the festival is i think more rightly opened up to the public and that has been a great pain but it's good we have this day to talk among ourselves. i want to just say a few things about that because to set the tone as it were. one of the things i remember about it because i was there as a much younger writer listening to all of these grand figures it was quite a gathering of voices of anybody you ca
