International Book Fair has always been inaugurated with a writer's conference in Argentina. Go with this impending issue, 37, and this year organizers decided to invite the latest Nobel Prize in Literature, Mario Vargas Llosa. And this was objected to a letter by the director of the National Library, Horacio González, making it clear that his observation not understand the literature of Peru, but the political alignment and any statements out of tune with respect to Argentina, knowing what has been repeated every time you have the possibility, like his son Alvaro. Not long ago staged a spectacular show to society, that is, for the patterns of transnational cultural industry in Venezuela, citing persecution.
Many writers and intellectuals have been with the proposals of Horacio Gonzalez, including the president, Cristina Fernandez, has asked to withdraw the letter, considering that corporate information sobreactuarían diatribe, crowning her as another attack on freedom of expression, free flow of ideas. Consequently, the reaction was swift and saturated the radio news, channels, websites and newspapers in the multimedia monopolies.
Vargas Llosa is a great fiction writer and a lousy discussed in politics, had the claim to be president of Peru and was defeated by a nobody like Fujimori. It is a liberal conservative who supports most retrograde policies diagram the International Monetary Fund and outdated answers without hesitation to the Washington Consensus. He has dedicated to demonize Latin American governments, who respond to Sao Paulo Forum, accused of being populist, leftist, patronage, and other "ists" that is occurring.
is interesting to consider how to accommodate the convenience of the discussion, if any, at least in regard to right-wing intellectuals, therefore, not have been more light than Marcos Aguinis, which involved children in a ceremony at the Casa Rosada with the forces of Hitler youth, "though also significant in that group, Beatriz Sarlo, Santiago Kovadloff, Abel Posse, former Education Minister Mauricio Macri, who took and had who resign immediately from the tenor of their statements and the rejection that led to his advocacy of the genocide.
politics and culture have always been related, since the Greeks themselves, the founders rational, but remember what happened to the philosopher Socrates was sentenced to death because his thought threatened the Polis.
to the old orthodoxy that has dominated almost 200 years the Argentine cultural field is acceptable only "opinion" when it endorsed his speech, when he pays homage and depends on its foundations class, of ancestry, in short, refers obedience to the tradition established by their families and interests. When the workers, workers, students or heterodox leaders manifest themselves in political terms, they are only barbarians and vandals who violate the institutions.
Any rehash or insult in the mouths of their spokesmen is speech entitled, as the rants of some drivers of "trash TV" and if there is no answer or return to the imprecations of conservators is trampling or breaking the republic.
"Everything is political," he said Mangabeira Unger, Minister of Strategic Affairs of former President Lula da Silva, and that represents a declaration of principles to encourage citizen participation, to take charge of public affairs.
So this conflict, this clash between two statements of position, a liberal populist and the other is interesting in the context of constructive debate. Such staging would enable us to reflect on the situation of the countries that suffered from the policies of neoliberalism and today are designed for national and popular projects, also corroborate the poetic state of politics or political consubstantiated in poetry. Since the writing (as cultural inscription) always acts as a projection, the speeches were the speeches refracted thought and felt among the people, ordinary people (the neighbor). Only a combination of factors have allowed militant struggle and, sometimes, that within capitalist societies the culture ceases to transmit the speech of the ruling classes and one could think, represent and write the history of the state of emergency due that now, although some do not want to accept it, are driving the changes, big changes.
To speak Vargas Llosa, who says what he has to say, the statement is conclusive, after his performance we can all answer, but more than words, rather than concepts, the most powerful for the market hypocrites concentrated economy values \u200b\u200bwould "enlighten" the weight of events, release processes, and the new reality of the Patria Grande.
