Nostalgia

snatched Verónica Ortiz 68. A jealous and brutal husband had it under lock and key while a contingent of students who have more or less the same age, too old Alejandra Ballesteros, 18, were being massacred in Tlatelolco. He was safe there, in his prison housewife, true, but it is often preferable to voluntary, which is what Veronica wanted to run alongside all those young people, that salvation is not requested. So Alejandra, who says Paco Ignacio Taibo is a character Menson half, vehement but dazed, challenges the authoritarianism of his father, General Ballesteros, no less than one of the architects of the killing ... that he and his wife, the mother dead, is absent? in Alejandra same they did to Veronica's own and previously, the mother of Veronica, because domestic violence was what drove the writer today into the arms of a man who would end up making it worst victim of mistreatment to which they fled, "We were suffering a form of closure by my father who was very jealous and I realized that the only solution was marriage, "says Veronica. At that time I have 17. I keep slipping away, I leave to tolerate the limits and censorship, I hold a responsible freedom struggle and there is a slope mine at that time by 68. "This is the origin of the novel Do not forget me (Planeta, 2006), Veronica settles he considers his score to settle with 68. I met Veronica Ortiz
Lawrenz, a pioneer in Mexico to tackle head on human sexuality in the media (he was for many years host of the Workshop on sexuality, on Channel 11), when he presented his first novel, Survivors (Planet, 2003) where starkly portrayed in the modus vivendi of street children in Brazil, eventually exterminated as pest during maneuvers of "cleansing" of the so-called White Guards, a matter on which he heard and in which he threw himself, curiously enough, during a vacation in Rio de Janeiro. Blonde, energetic, nervous, Veronica spoke to reporters on the subject, trembling with indignation but sober and well planted. I wondered how the strengthened its sensitivity rather than vulnerable. Time aware of its dramatic past, as her character Alejandra, had to escape through a window and which is not brought up until the publication of which would be his second novel, I forget. Between this book and the preceding word published Women, interviews with writers (Joaquín Mortiz, 2004), work that boosted his primary vocation. The national writers, says Veronica, are twofold contempt because Mexico does not consume what the country produces. The Mexican player is not first choice at a Mexican author, and if female, less. "Long ago I write. I wrote my own scripts for television. Poetry, too, but I never posted because I'm extremely self-critical and I am convinced that I'll never publish. He carried around with the idea of \u200b\u200bgiving me time to write the novel about 68. Then came an experience very delicate, very hard: I was with Rosario Robles (head of government of the District Federal relay Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas in 1999) in an air which generated the content of speech and ordered a little of what was happening in the city because the PRI has left us a void and my job was to recover this information. Then I started to see changes in Rosario, I did not like and I retired ... and I had given up everything for this political project that I believed wholeheartedly. I said it was time to remake Veronica Ortiz, and I began to write ... "I forget
part of the author's personal experience, because the nostalgia of the not lived or experienced is a trace in a vacuum, which easily experience can become frustrated if not be processed intelligently. Although most of the characters are fictional, no other book on the subject has developed as clear or as accessible as the Machiavellian circumstances that led to the tragic events of October 2, 1968, perhaps because it is the first book readers thought not lived through them. To reconstruct the facts, Veronica uses a series of readings that adequately cited in the acknowledgments: The Night of Tlatelolco and Strong is the silence, by Elena Poniatowska; Days to keep from Carlos Monsivais, The days and years of Luis Gonzalez de Alba , Star of Tlatelolco Alvarez Garin, redo the story of Carlos Montemayor, a war party Julio Scherer García. The reader realizes, among other things, students, academics in particular, became objects of suspicion and persecution several months before the killing broke out, contaminating the pre-Olympic atmosphere of bad omens. "What happens, says one of the characters is that the government are more dogs just for the Olympics. Best for us. Going to give, they will release the prisoners, a (Demetrius) Vallejo. You saw the ball of foreign journalists, there are a shitload asking questions everywhere. In the government are not stupid. For all the university wants to strike before their fucking Olympics. "Alejandra
Mexico has stayed away from a child in a boarding school abroad. Graduation and subsequent return to the family residence coincides with the key to the novel. His father, General Ballesteros, is a contradictory character at the same time seeks to detain (not considered necessary to go to college, what if soon to be married?, Someone chosen by him, of course), except for very assists guarded French classes and some rides tasteless, imposes barbaric and practical riding exercises in the morning to lose his fear of horses. "The General Ballesteros is the quintessential father figure of the time-points Veronica. It is the torturer general, there were many at that time and hopefully I'm wrong, still it was a time when generals were very close to power, had public office. Now there is this mix of power with the military, but at that time there were many, and also very hungry. Corona del Rosal, for example, wanted to be president. There is another character, Gutiérrez Oropeza, the Estado Mayor Presidencial, very close to Diaz Ordaz, paranoid, very violent, very limited in their perceptions of all kinds and is going to be an important upstream on the ideas of Diaz Ordaz and Echeverria used with a very particular skill that, over the years, we were seeing more. Echeverría was the leading contender General Corona del Rosal for the presidency, and in that sense we have an atmosphere of presidential succession that will determine many of the things that happened in the 68 and resulted in the destruction of large groups of young people ... not just death but annihilation in many ways. "
always escorted whom he considers his only friend, her nanny, Alejandra will soon experience the desire to spread its wings, looking at the world with their own eyes and describe it in their own words, particularly when during a frugal solution to the pharmacy, duly supervised by her nanny (who, obviously, feel real terror for the general), has his first encounter with the charming Santiago, an idealistic university curly hair that will be your neighbor. With regard to Santiago, the most endearing and tragic Do not forget me, Veronica tells us it is symbolic because it represents the average young plowed those streets, now bloodied, demanding justice, attacked many times in the back: "(...) All we ask that young people ask, is democratic space, to respect the vote, the elections (...) "(p. 108)" It is clear that over 70% of this country are young, "says Veronica," means that if the 68 did 38 years ago, the today's young people not only lived but not have been forgotten, because the official story maintains a steady silence on events so important and foundational as this. "
Although at first I assumed that would be unfolding in Veronica Alejandra's mother and this, Maria Luisa, of German descent, she tells me that Maria Luisa, the wife tortured and disappeared from the General Ballesteros, who was riding a fictional tomb to dodge the pressing questions of her daughter, is a bit of your own mother. A kind of woman more common now than then, but, in light of the events seemed destined to awaken. The 68 was also a watershed year for women's liberation, the watershed, "says Veronica, a lot of things," for the first time a large number of people from all socioeconomic levels in the street were not defending the repression of young people, an issue that had to do with justice and democracy. People are tired of PRI governments, violent and repressive, especially that of Diaz Ordaz. The woman begins to break free of many atavism, is studying and has new possibilities of freedom, equality with their peers. They are Simone de Beauvoir, the pill ... is a key moment for feminism, the women need to be integrated into other areas that have been restricted by society. "As stated by the character of China on page 164: "I think any fight where the woman is not going slower."
Alejandra is still a young educated. Does not even know exactly who is his father. Your imagination is not enough to conceive of the torture and sexual humiliation to which the General Ballesteros undergoes youth captured. The beginning of the end of his innocence will be marked by the discovery of photographs where his mother, whom he has thought dead for many years, appears with evidence of torture ... photographs Luisa Maria herself was taken to report the crime of husband. Alejandra awaken slowly at first, influenced by James, who somehow be provided in Lazarillo, giving her eyes committed, and you will see the importance of their participation in the mega-protest involving almost the entire civil society. As a survivor, I forget which is open ended but would be judged "happy" because it is the opportunity that life gives Veronica Alejandra "to do more to squeeze through the window is his welcome as a woman ... free woman.
"I need the written word," says Veronica, "but do not know what comes next. I feel I'm much like in the middle of something, including generating and receiving the news. I'm there in the middle, so I think that the word "community" is not bad, because it is a bridge between the receiver and makes the messages. "Verónica Ortiz admires JJ Coetzee, anxiously awaiting the two new novels by Rosa Beltrán and says eventually return to his bedside table: Madame Bovary. Interested authors are also raising their own reality in different parts of the world, writer and journalist Laura Restrepo Colombian and Mexican poet Verónica Volkow. Currently, Veronica is a cultural advisor of the Interdisciplinary Program of Women's Studies College of Mexico and columnist for the independent magazine Emeequis.

Of how a girl writer created the office of Guardian of Eden

If women had written books,
'm sure I would have done differently
because they know that they were falsely accused. CP

Épistre au dieu d'amours (1399)

There once was a very lucky girl named Christina. No, not a princess, but could have happened due to the raising of which earned him a privileged position because of his father, Tommaso de Pizzano, nothing less than the astrologer to King Charles. Venetian origin, Don Tommaso had come to the palace on the banks of the Seine, taking the hand of a charming creature, his daughter, who conquered the courtiers with his mere presence. Born in Venice in 1364, Cristina, as his father would change his name to be fully integrated to the French court, and the Italian "to Pizzano," which means "native of Pizza" became "de Pizan." However, his future writing manifest a large Italian influence, namely Dante, his most beloved writer. About his father
write the maiden, attributing the comment to straight, a character created for herself: "Your father (John), the great sage and philosopher, thought that a career in science would be worth less than women. Instead, as you know, caused great joy to your inclination to study. Were female bias Your mother prevented you during your youth deepen and extend your knowledge, because she just wanted to entertain you in spinning and other trifles (...) (The City of Ladies, Siruela, José María Translation Lemarchand, 2001, p. 199). King Charles Cristina could not have the slightest complaint, much less his consort, Queen Joan of Bourbon, who treated her mother's affection. In that environment Cristina did not find any difficulty to devote himself to his greatest passion: the study of literature, which took place smoothly (as they were not called to dinner for his mother who was afraid her daughter would not be limited a pious readings) in a house near the Palace Saint-Pol, one of the residences of the Valois in Paris. Do not miss these hobbies into a maiden whose father was a man of science and whose maternal grandfather was nothing more and nothing less than the anatomist Mondino of Luzzi. He spent his days and nights hover in the ever more fed Biblioteque Royale, slightly shocked with the portrayal of women were his favorite authors and with which he was not identified at all, because I had silly hair and of frivolous, less. As if all this were not enough, the girl married at age fifteen, by choice and not a fixed commitment they used to be the majority, with the king's scribe, twenty-four, Etienne du Castel, who besides looking never hindered him in his passion for literature, moreover, taught him his trade, so converted Cristina end up perhaps in the first lawyer in history. About her beloved husband, I would say Cristina straight through: "(...) There are bad husbands, but there are honest, excellent and prudent. Women who are found to have been born under a lucky star and should thank the heavens with joy. This I know very well (John) for your own experience because you had such a good husband who could not have chosen a better (...) "(p. 171).
As you read between the lines, having received many more blessings that ordinary women of her time, did not prevent Cristina sensitized to the plight of their fellows, so early on focused all its efforts, both artistic and intellectual, to improve the living conditions of women, victims of a series of old prejudices that conditions on the eternal subject and a sterile enclosure, ie, devoid of those elements that are personal growth books. All this makes our maid the first feminist history, although the term has been coined until the mid-nineteenth century in England. Increasingly dissatisfied with the image of itself to restore its authors intended ones, particularly the Greeks (Ovid and Aristotle, for example), Cristina decided to look in their own readings exemplary women whose words were enough to reverse the malignant stereotypes of femininity and certainly had wonderful discovery, by Horace, who Plato found the death under his pillow the songs of Sappho, as you leave based in The City of Ladies, considered his flagship, not translated into English and Dutch until the late twentieth century. The first translation into English released until XXI, we owe it to Marie Joseph Lemarchand, who in his notes to the edition before us we are surprised by asserting that while efforts to modernize the text without distorting its original meaning, had to omit terms that would sound too modern. In this book, I would The Treasure of the City of Ladies (1405), a book of advice for women.
The goddess Fortuna, which Craig refers to the same resentment with which we would refer to an ungrateful friend, was to play him a trick: death of his powerful patron, King Charles, whose successors, though not suppressed, nor will paid more attention. Then would come the death of his beloved father and, after ten years of happy marriage, the plague that ravaged Paris in 1389 would take Ettienne leaving his widow heartbroken and unprotected, with two children charge. The widow of a notary would manage to raise her offspring, or, as not so metaphorically in one of his poems: "(...) a woman I became a man / for the fortune willed it so / so I changed it body and spirit / in a natural man, perfect ... "and all I could do was write. In that sense, Cristina de Pizan would be a pioneer in more ways than one at a time because the style is still the author dictates to a secretary or scribe, this medieval lady herself would take the pen and retire to a room to write their own texts, ie four centuries before Virginia Woolf reflect on the need for creative women have a personal space for creation, Cristina was already a fact. This, in a way, makes it also a publisher. To tell Garí Banking, Cristina is the first feminist writer because it is the first to write from the experience of woman's body. But there's more: Cristina de Pizan became the first professional writer in history, ie, the first economic advantage of his talent. With she founded a home corner hitherto unknown: the stud. Lemarchand said: "(...) the" study "Cristina is also for architectural innovation marking a new way of life for a society that was beginning to value privacy. Towards the end of the sixteenth century is isolated from the rest of the chateau at least one camera to retreat (...) "In that seclusion write Cristina The City of Ladies, first published in 1404.
In that work, divided into three books, a harried Cristina begins to feel ashamed of her own sex after looking into all the versions on the contribution the authors, is visited by three distinguished ladies: Reason, straight and Justice. They invite her to participate in the construction of the City of Ladies, and while Cristina up strengths, her new friends refresh its report on the endless parade of female, real and imagined, that contradict the authors misogynist: artists, heroes, saints, queens, inventors, etc.. An action very similar to that employ our Sor Juana y Sombra First fleeting dream, two centuries later: "Go straight," he says Cristina, architect of the City of Ladies-ink mixed with the mortar and the mortar used without repairs because I will provide you with a lot of it thanks to the Divine, advancing in broad strokes to warm your good pen, soon finish the construction of high buildings and beautiful mansions, where they will reside forever ladies of great fame and merit who they are intended. "(p. 155).
But the work on behalf of their oppressed sex is not restricted to the field written: Cristina threw hand knowledge bequeathed by Ettienne right to defend, as far as he could, to women victims of what we now call "domestic violence" . A Lemarchand say became a "champion" as the medieval concept that could be understood in postmodern terms, as a defender of human rights. It became a much admired polemicist who from the pulpit, clerical style, exhorted the men to assess the potential of women and learn to see them for what they really were: subjects and not objects: "(...) If the word was so despicable female and so little authority as they claim, would never have allowed our Lord it was just a woman who announced his resurrection, so he did with Mary Magdalene on Easter Day when ordered to take the news to Peter and other apostles. Blessed be God, for wanting that, besides the infinite gifts that filled females, the messenger was a woman of such extraordinary new "(p. 85). Cristina was also the most passionate advocate of a brave girl fall from grace: Joan of Arc. It was also the first biographer of the saint in life of this, titled sampler about Joan of Arc, while languishing in a dungeon, condemned to the stake. In this book, published in 1429, carried out a dialogue between the maid and the lady who appreciates your comfort and patriotic act that nobody has understood, and could be interpreted by a genuine feminist treatise. Citizenship is one you topics more deeply in the text, referring to the suppression of ecclesiastical and monarchical powers, which seriously hampers a woman to develop our own criteria, so they had to rely on the accused such loopholes laws. By then Cristina, and imprisoned in a convent where he continued his tireless work literary, reflect on the enormous advantage that is incarceration for a woman of genius. Sometimes the convent was preferable, particularly for those who, like Christine de Pizan, wanted to cultivate the spirit and intellect, two closely linked entities at the time. "God has given them (women) (...) a beautiful intelligence that may apply if you want, any of the fields where they exercise the most illustrious men. There are no more or less accessible to them if they want to study and gain fame with an honest job. "(P. 12).
All this did not mean he was blind to the faults and defects of certain female specimens, as in the case of Isabel Bavaria, which although it weighs in The City of Ladies, along with other contemporary artist would be like Anastasia, the official illustrator of the books of Cristina, then publicly scolded when the sovereign government organizes a rival that of his son, betrays her husband the Duke of Orleans and adheres to the cause of the Burgundians was almost as much as to ally with the worst enemies of the French, the English, against whom undertake the so-called Hundred Years War: "(...) I take care of poor women because they represent the feminine nature, but its perversion. "(p. 172).
the same way that the authors offer their works moralizing the ladies of high rank as a way of inviting them to amend their conduct, offered Cristina de Pizan City of Ladies The Duke of Burgundy and John the Fearless, expecting them to reflect on its erroneous position on the female. Another great achievement of our heroine, despite its glorification of the ladies dressed as knights and friars who undertook a man's own deeds in the land war, intellectual and spiritual, was that he never resorted to cross-dressing to be heard, admire and respect. His sermons, it is said, were so intense, well-argued and great, that no man ever dared to refute. Readers may be questioning his current excessive emphasis on female chastity name as one of the greatest virtues, but let's read in light of his time and not ours, where there is the possibility to prevent pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases: sexual relations but did not lead to problems, if not true tragedies, women. And the problems, we know, they merely distract us from the intellectual work.
Author of a military treaty that would quite an impression on Henry VIIII of England, Book of the feats of arms and chivalry, Cristina also made translations of works and wrote several training manuals, which contributed largely to support his family. He was also a copyist. Among his works Letters is the charge account of the novel of the Rose (1398-1402), where angry but firmly rejects the concept misogynist Jean Menu, author of the novel rose, romance of the thirteenth century, so it would become again, in the first polemicist and literary criticism. Christine de Pizan died in 1430, the monastery of Poissy. For a while some of his work was attributed to Giovanni Boccaccio, until in 1786 he regained ownership of the fifteen volumes of which has his complete work.

Bible Black Online Blog



Write hurts. Numb hand. Blood runs hot arm goes to the heart, the words come out angry ...

Seeing LC can not believe that alone has defied the demons until the ethereal fragile, tired look between sweet, haloed by an unusual aura of peace. My first thought upon meeting this woman that would expedite smile was capable of embracing the Mexican disappointed in a hug and comfort, passing over his own fear ... because it is brave to the extent that is reconciled with her fear . Only those who are familiar and engaged with the pain of others can look at the way he makes this postmodern heroine who has publicly exposed about pedophiles magnates who controlled an international network of child pornography and has lived ... to tell. Armed only with words and truth, Lydia says she is not working with violence but with peace. I also said that his soul has eased lately reading Eduardo Galeano, and I said with the calm of one who has no debt to justice, much less life.
Lydia Cacho Ribeiro was born on April 12, 1963, in Mexico City, but is in Cancun, Quintana Roo, where he directs a center for women victims of domestic violence (CIAM) who founded eighteen years ago, work he says with a flutter of her eyelashes amazing, I love it. Here he has learned that there is justice after all, since 99% of the cases have a happy ending, and if not, has helped the victims to start from scratch in countries far away enough to be reached. Daughter of a Portuguese woman named Paulette who conducted fieldwork in the most squalid and dangerous, between "youth band" Lydia learned that the best way to give meaning to life itself is contributing to the happiness and welfare of others. This led her to pursue journalism, human rights, without neglecting his work at the center or his passion for literature "that haunts me the Colegio Madrid." The fusion of two passions led to the writing of the novel Bite the heart (Plaza & Janes, 2006), originally published under the title Demac provinces of the soul (2003), ie it is a work prior to the Demons of Eden story, the one who has been credited with the XIV National Human Rights Award Don Sergio Méndez Arceo and unanimous admiration of thousands of readers around the world, but also to the persecution of political and Mario Marín, governor of Puebla, he made arrangements for his arrest in complicity with the poblano Kamel Nacif, a friend and partner by now-jailed pederast in Arizona, Jean Succar Kuri, Lebanese-born businessmen both. Blanche Petrich wrote in La Jornada on February 14, 2006, referring to the disclosure of recording the telephone call in which Marín and Nacif agree to kill the journalist, deposited in the receipt of the anonymous hands daily, "Nacif Borge, his voice raspy and coarse language, concerns over the conversations how, through friends and contacts within the Cereso poblano, "recommended" that lock up Lydia with "crazy and dykes" that was violated when he entered prison, how were disregarded legal formalities to notify the reporter of the process was still against him, "because if not, fails to jail"
Later, continues Blanche Petrich, giving voice Lydia, who was arrested more than a virtual hostage, "As I entered the Cereso I went to an area of \u200b\u200breview. I ordered a youth custody undress completely. It was very humiliating, because there was only a plastic door separated us from where were the courts. It was very cold and started to sneeze. Suddenly the attendant told me: "Are you from the TV, right? Be very careful, because the van to rape. " In his terror, Cacho only able to ask: "How?" Naively, the police understood the question literally. "Then with a stick." But he recommended: "Do not worry, please to sneeze, get very, very sick so that I can take it to the nurse. " At that time the chief came to the area in turn custody. "I realized," relates Lydia Cacho, who exchanged signs and glances. No I will never forget the name of that woman. Between the two I grabbed his arms and started to move down a corridor. At the bottom there were three male trustees. Came forward and began to struggle with the custodians, trying to take me to another site. They resisted, the boss told them they were on medication and then I gave them. Running reached the door of the infirmary. Once in there assured me that it would deliver me, reassured me, let me rest and Women kept their word. Do not let me raped. "This demonstrates the vulnerability of journalists to the powerful Mexican (Mexico ranks second, below Colombia, crimes against journalists) who seem to enjoy absolute impunity, also demonstrates the kind of demons facing Lydia and whom the Constitution, against the much ballyhooed by official demagoguery, protects its failure to provide guarantees for the timely exercise of freedom of expression of journalists, if not killed, are jailed on charges of "defamation."
Lydia, who has for the time of probation, his novel is published Bite the heart, which deals with the history of Soledad, a woman infected with HIV / AIDS for her husband. Lydia built this character with glimpses of many women, most contaminated by their own spouse, which helped, encouraged and guided. Even died in their arms as Lydia also led the creation of a shelter for people living with HIV, given the contempt with which they are still treated in public health. Soledad Soledad longer ... stop being a woman, a human being to become "bed number seven:" (...) Since the clinic nurses had been told that is the policy of insurance to antiretrovirals, but there is no federal budget Specific treatment for AIDS. According to one, the government does not agree that patients die soon, keep them alive is very expensive (...) They may be right, although it is somewhat simplistic cause they do not deliver antiretrovirals in government clinics in I personally think that it is rather because there is no realistic public policy on the number of people living with immunodeficiency virus, or AIDS. If the Conasida ask me if there is AIDS in my home, and I admit it crazier than publicly. Maybe that is why in our country there are no statistics, because if any would have to confront reality, and denial is a national asset. " (Pp 76 and 77).
Soledad is the average housewife. The wife of a hotel in Cancun, elementary school teacher, mother of a boy and a girl. His life is spent in a quiet domesticity, something that could be called "happiness", until a series of physiological symptoms of place to the brutal reality: her husband has been unfaithful and has transmitted the AIDS virus. Far from being an isolated case, the reality is that housewives have come to lead the statistics of HIV carriers in Latin America over drug addicts, homosexuals and prostitutes. The virus has been installed in the sacred privacy of the family, leaving behind a trail of orphans and fostering a new generation of babies born polluted. The machismo, coupled with sexual illiteracy that our top officials seem bent on perpetuating the veto sex education in schools, is the explosive mix that will continue undoing entire families. Faced with such terrible circumstances
, Soledad starts writing a diary through which not only vent but reflects increasingly deep and dense, about themselves, their situation and those around him, as her husband (who fails to develop the disease), her feminist mother, feminist and everything that could not divert his son from the influences of an environment that insists on making men believe they can practice away with their sexuality, Carmina, his beloved best friend, which ends the story by her and her two children who witness the wasting of a once-athletic mother: "(...) I am not writing this journal to transcend, as the authors from whom I speak to and pupils write to survive, to maintain this fragile balance mind, not to let the ideas get lost in the maelstrom of depression that is stewing in my soul. I write not to die. To know that I am not dead yet. "(P. 56). Far from the melodrama
, Bite the heart (the title is a line of Jaime Sabines) shows the maturation process and awareness of a woman who, paradoxically, becomes stronger as your body is being corrupted. Soledad is aware of circumstances that was not disturbed while healthy, his true position in society, family and partner. Has acquired the maturity to forgive her husband, who otherwise will be a hateful character to the most moving, and is, as finally realizes his own solitude, Carlos has been a victim like herself, a victim of a company carrying double standards and we haggle information on behalf of a crooked Catholicism has spawned more demons than angels: "(...) the wisdom product of formal and religious education can be a drag for tolerance (...)" (p. 73) . Soledad, on the other hand, acquire consciousness of social exclusion to the "different", and specifically homosexual, experiencing firsthand the discrimination that closes all doors, especially in the professional aspect. The ignorance of this latent evil gives rise to a series of prejudices and beliefs ridiculous to suppose that the mere presence of a seropostivo can be contagious. All this leads to read Soledad Marcela Lagarde, a leading Mexican feminist author who declares Lydia own disciple and friend. Both Soledad and Carlos acquire gender consciousness, she, through his readings and conversations with other women raise their consciousness as Carmina who, like Lydia's own, draws strength from the indignation, and his wonderful mother, who is exactly who introduced Lagarde reading, he, through the suffering inflicted on his partner and misleading notions of masculinity and social demand ostentation of it. This is not a punishment (as it considers the lady redeeming out of nowhere, where they come from those who have no inner life, who insists on visiting to read the Bible), but a lesson. Finally, children learn through pain, although it is the least desirable way is, after all, an opportunity not to repeat mistakes, "Who knows what to say to two children as little about death, AIDS, monogamy, condoms in marriage? "(p. 91).
Lydia has seen women die of AIDS ... girls afraid to threats from a man claiming to be their benefactor and finished raping, prostituting and film: "It is not an easy case, Lydia told me during our first interview. We live in a sleepy company that does not move a finger, and this problem involves dozens of children up to five years, mostly little women, policemen and corrupt politicians, and drug trafficking networks and child pornography. Is not the plot of a movie in theaters, is a real drama. "The Demons of Eden is a book that brought tears of anger, even screaming, full-length painting of a society that preys justified with the victims and the rapists in the name of money and power. Children who had the courage to draw their corrupter, Jean Succar Kuri and his "distinguished guests" who included politicians and businessmen, even respectable ladies were brought to his time in the streets of Cancun and branded of "whores." Together with Lydia, the angel who has done more to provide the shoulder to cry on him, have been subjected to all kinds of harassment. She, while awaiting the next move of the enemies who have tried to silence by all means, work on his next project where journalistic expose the mechanisms through which some Mexican businessmen engaged in selling people, particularly women, Colombian, Venezuelan and Cuban working mainly table dance in Monterrey and that certainly will bring new enemies. Nonetheless, Lydia admits that what he really wants is to write a novel about love ... as if there had risked their lives because of it, for love.

How Many Calories Does Denise Austin Boot Camp B



... write as a woman, and because I am deeply conscious woman of the ways in which power can be abused ...
MR
Margaret Randall radically broke ties with the world. Arguably, born again and became one: Who would a little girl dressed in lace and ribbon, born into a traditional Jewish family in the middle class in New York, brought essentially to marry and raise children, end traveling the world aboard a motorcycle, getting involved in various Latin American rebellions of the seventies and eighties, love of Andean culture and proclaimed lesbian in midlife? Of course, it took many things and many years on that little girl with long braids, as revealed in his painful poem, "The second picture, the camera faces demand for answers, while his maternal grandmother" (...) around my Rear decked as for a party, / your fingers in a rare position, like making a secret sign "(This happens when a woman's heart is broken (Poems 1985-1995), translation, foreword and notes by Victor Rodríguez Núñez, bilingual edition, Poetry Hyperion, 1999, p. 55).
systematically raped from early childhood by her maternal grandfather, sheltered by the grandmother of Margaret, the poet stopped for the simple reason that he remembered nothing. He never knew what to call that which broke inside and forced to live picking up pieces restored as a masterpiece. Like any girl her married status, and with her new husband, who procrearía his first son, Gregory, launched their first motorcycle trip to North Africa and Europe, just graduated from high school in 1954. Would stop in Seville for a year, using as a maid, assimilating the language of which was to fall in love: Castilian. And while it proved the absolute freedom and loved, for some unspecified reason end up back in New York, the city where he was born on December 6, 1936 (although it would raise New Mexico), and where he met the father of Gregory, a son, says Margaret at all times, very desirable. During this trance awaken their political consciousness, 1961, to the extent of it to turn 360 degrees, with all of your baby for ten months and two books of poetry published for Mexico. There he discovered another vein: poetry, the ideal way to express their pains and longings. In Mexico, says Margaret, became a feminist and began using the voice of others. Also published his first book on feminism: Women. Documentary Anthology (Siglo XXI, 1970). Through poetry emerges finally what had happened in earliest childhood and was able to name it: incest. Margaret was reunited at last with Margaret: "When Margaret wrote his name / Margaret is a poem / readers should stop and consider such evidence (...)" ("First footnote, p. 23). Finally, the former girl raped rapist faces Grandpa, Grandma accomplice, the stunned parents he never knew: "In this poem hold your eyes and cry, / please, Mom, stop telling / the words I think we want to hear. Tell us from your own fear. / (...) Look, I now I gather my children grouped their heights / kill the saint to thirty years after his death / played his rotting flesh in the moonlight / I see the pillars fall. / ( ...) Pick up the pieces. "(" To kill the holy ", p. 59). Also face the dictators, especially his fellow countrymen who consider themselves heirs of God: "Under my skin / all deaths crowd / next to that one death: / somewhere in El Salvador, / May, 1975: / Roque , revolutionary, poet, friend, / torture and then murdered / by members of deserters from their own organization. / One of their abuse of unequal war, / impossible to erase. "(" Dead "In another time: reflections of the Grand Canyon Saddlebag, CONACULTA, FONCA, Translation Maria Vazquez, 2006).
in Mexico is related intimately with fellow poet Juan Bañuelos, Nicaraguan Ernesto Cardenal. With Sergio Mondragón founded in 1962, the bilingual magazine The plumed horn (the horn feathered), which reached and published 32 issues, in addition, more than twenty U.S. and Latin American poets. Procrearía also with him two daughters: Sarah (1963) and Ximena (1964), divorced shortly after the birth. From his editorial work began to have problems with power by the simple act of publishing Cuban poets, and her motherhood of two Mexican girls (Anne was by birth) did not soften the repressive attitude of the government of Gustavo Diaz Ordaz on the U.S., involved with all his soul in the student movement of 1968 and assuming a critical stance against the oppressors through its magazine, a fact that the force, first, to live in hiding (like so many Mexican participants in the movement), but shortly after birth Anne, her third daughter fruit of their union with the poet Robert Cohen, came illegally country that had not ever wanted to leave, bound for Havana, where he lived happily until 1980, unable to restore American citizenship through his marriage with Cohen that it would be nine races in 1986 after comprobársele it was "communist" for writing a poem Che Guevara. He also questioned subjects as absurd as painting nudes in an art class and working as a waitress in a gay bar. His concepts, rather than their experiences (as a means of expression, again, is the poetry) are reflected in three sociological essays published by the editorial Siglo XXI: The hippies, expression of a crisis; Women, The spirit of a people: the Vietnam Women, Women in the revolution, and a beautiful co-authored with chronic Cuban poet Angel Antonio Moreno, on a street artist wanted Matanzas, Che Carballo: Dreams and Realities of Guajiricantor (1979), as well as its material journalism, scattered in major Latin American journals. In the eighties
would move to Nicaragua to live from within the struggle of the Sandinista Front, which would result in the book We are all awake, detailing the very active participation of women against General Somoza terrible. Published in his native country under the title of Sandino 's Daughters, was destined to be his landmark book on the date received love letters from his readers: "Many believed that, despite the important contributions of the FSLN, its inability to deal with feminism (as well as racism and the widespread abuse of power) contributed to his defeat. The Sandinista leadership, mostly male, continues talking about his commitment to equality for women, but where are the actions that support the words? "Through Sandino's Daughters, a story open, exposes the lies about movement internationally circulated, manipulated from the United States: "Many Americans did not even know where Nicaragua was - would the author- or even what language was spoken there because of the ignorance that keeps the American people is an abysmal ignorance ... "To tell the author Nicaraguan Gioconda Belli:" Margaret Randall has the quality of these stunning birds are to be recorded in one eyes when walking on the sidewalks of Bombacho (...) A tuft of long white hair still damp at the edges, blue eyes full of melancholy and a voice that ranges from the wailing and singing ... "
The awakening of consciousness feminist, particularly during Nicaraguan experience, made the poet and journalist to notice the fact that, as a poet, had come to work with own pain, that was his, that was it. It was not, however, to abolish this learning more cultural than spiritual, but of honor, naming it, a poet. And it has to do with a masochistic glee, much less self-pitying lament, because the pain of a woman can be transformed into aesthetic enjoyment of others, like Margaret gives to his poetry: "... in women has been an enormous capacity to resist, but fuck you get up and follow ... "The pain of being a woman, once to aware, internalized thought, becomes a value in the possibility of mutual learning, in a lesson that needs to be shared, transmitted until it became legend: "Where is the mirror clean enough / to say about us?" ("Mirrors", p. 83). Once assimilated this lesson, channeling pain through art and protest against injustice, and Margaret Margaret rebuilt just as hoarse screams until she is Margaret, cried in the end his love for women. Mother of four, grandmother of ten grandchildren, had the luxury of starting a new life in Albuquerque, next to his partner, Barbara Byers painter who spends his work anthology, This happens when a woman's heart is broken. His delightful poem, "Our Anniversary", included in his latest poetry collection, Inside the other time: reflections of the Grand Canyon, illustrated, by the way, Barbara, raised by loving commitment between two women, an exchange of rings, in this case, acquires a sublime touch of subversion, "a moveable feast. First date, first touch, a night until morning / last eighteen years. The decision to be together all the time / that we have. Then we confess that we wanted rings. / And that's when my first dream was born: a map / to look for ourselves. "(P. 29).
This relentless track in his consciousness, in his memory and identity, made through therapy, but prefacing the emotional metaphors the poetry, made him see that it was necessary to land in this world if you really wanted to contribute to change, hence any hint of guilt, if any, was diluted in a fierce anti-imperialism and radical rejection of Zionism. This does not mean expressing an everlasting bliss for the landscape that currently surrounds it. His most recent book of poems, in fact, is a hymn to the landscape and nature of America that petrified the extent of leaving the notebook moves brought expressly to capture that environment millennium: "Every time I had to choose / between writing or sitting quietly / inhale this place, / let him into my pores, I was myself, / inviting place to go. Did you know then / you could access the memories later? / I did not even question. "(" The Notebook ", p. 103, 104)
Margaret thus was never idly by, in fact, and as Rodríguez Núñez says, it is likely that no other writer has worked so hard and involved in their own work and political activities. His poetry reflects the many facets of transformation and of their struggle and the richness of his thought drew on the most diverse schools. The lack of power in women, said in a decisive manner is not, as has been led to believe, a private phenomenon, because the personal and political are two sides of the same coin: "The system needs to keep women subordinate and well controlled, so paint the life of rebellion as a miserable life. But if a woman went wrong in a relationship and have to try again, have to see if she is less happy than one that says, "Well, I agree with what I have, I will not move the water and stay where I am ... "said in an interview with the website of The Bulletin.
Although his poetry was written in English, perhaps because the language of childhood, the pain, the renegade, Margaret is heavily influenced by Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, César Vallejo, Roque Dalton, Violeta Parra and Carlos Maria Gutierrez although acknowledges the influence of Whitman, Hart Crane and also a lesbian poet Adrienne Rich. However, Rodriguez said Nunez, the true place of Margaret is with black writers, Indian and Hispanic as June Jordan, Audre Lorde, Sandra Cisneros, Michelle Cliff, Janice Gould, Sonia Sanchez, and Luci Tapahanso Gloria Anzaldua. José Vicente Anaya puts it, quite rightly, with other poets of his generation that transformed the home environment to a new poetry, as Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton and Diane di Prima. One of his greatest affection is Frida Kahlo art, about whom he writes: "I always go back to the Butterflies amazed how your body broken / still in its glass case / under the canopy of your last bed. / (...) I also love people-women, / but there are times when people, including women / me tired. "Frida is exemplary about the way a woman can tame the pain, even more so, submit it. It is not necessary to have suffered physical pain remained prostrate for the Mexican painter, as a woman, to understand ... especially when, as Margaret has lived collected the pieces themselves. The pain makes women a being in perpetual construction, constantly mutating skin and, in extreme cases like those of Frida and Margaret's own, become masterpieces themselves: "For me, politics and life are the same thing "Franklin says Margaret Fernandez. But do not talk about close or partisan politics, but politics in the sense of trying to make life healthier, safer and more creative for everyone ... but to assume political office ... ever! "Currently working on his memoirs, which promises to be a monumental work.

Nana Cancer Team Names

wound Butterfly Flight The dream of the girls game fish

"A woman does not know how to look. Sees only dreams. "Regardless of the interpretations which may arise from this expression by Julio Cortazar, heading in the first part of the poetry book House of Sleep (IMAC / Gíglico Editions, 2006), seems applicable to a particular woman: Elizabeth Cazessús, born August 28, 1960, in Tijuana, Baja California, where his family was, by her own account, like so many working class families to join the millions who have established a tradition of migrants. They chose, however, stay on this side, near the sea, where his father practiced the profession of telegraph operator. Marine vein poet, Elizabeth unfolds in the territory of sleep like a panther in the jungle, alert to danger, risk prone but others fear: "(...) I write what the fish dream / while rinse in this room / shapes of silence and light "(" Seas the Dream "Dream House, p. 14). The dreamlike quality the poetry of Elizabeth can be explained by the fact that her "dream" poems, the voice of his subconscious dictates as to the ancient poets and verses are repeated insistence that whisper from his lips, which many sometimes has no choice but to get up and write. The biggest risk of the dream is awakening. But Elizabeth gets to catch the dream, remove it from the unconscious and capture it like a fish to the net: useless and curb this river of dreams filled with fish.
Morena and delicate, Elizabeth is projected on the girl of his poem "More on the death of Major Sabines, whose reading is constantly interrupted by his father ... that parent will end blaming his mother for "madness" of his daughter, which the fledgling poet orillaría to burn the papers considered guilty of this dispute, "I agreed with the death devoured by poetry / Ella Creek my bones / It has been staying with me stop to stop / It has opened my eyes / Quiet, play with my life / re-emergence as an underground roar of passion / Light with its magic of living in the Honduras / Heart. "(House ..., p. 53). "Poetry, tells the poet, rises in me as a source of the dark and inexplicable. After about 10 or 11 years meditating in the staircase leading to the garden, accompanied by a small where he wrote and made drawings. I was wondering who am I? And I came to write I'm a surprise in the window picking words and silence ... I myself do not quite understand it but it caused an unusual joy. It occurred to me to find my mother in the ironing room and showed him what he had just written. She stared at me in a dubious manner, surprised and distressed, as though something in me threaten its security. The incredulity of my mother shaped my attitude to writing, I kept writing just for me, with a certain timidity and shame. "At school, Elizabeth was soon to become the ambivalent reputation of" talking pretty "and" crazy " , but managed to successfully switch to writing bolibol illegal and excel in both fields.
Although personally is a sweetness that one breaks it, his poetry conveys the silent fury of a wave. Their fragility devastating crashes in words that weave eroticism and pain, without demarcation possible. Claiming that it is beyond mere metaphor waves: the syncopated swing invariably referred to us, sometimes sweet, other ... almost always terrible, terrible sweet. Author of four books of poetry, ritual and song (1994), Woman of Salt (2000), Footprints in the Water (2001) and House of Dreams, Elizabeth is known for its performances of poetry, simply beautiful, not However nourished by its own letter that turns into crushing wave to take possession of the author under floodlights. But much more than their own verses actress, becomes a priestess of the verse when taken by assault the stage. The poetic voice of Elizabeth Cazessús is not, in fact, only one: a chorus of female voices, sirens skein rather than describe, symbolize the profound essence of femininity. Like when, a priestess of Inanna, the first poet on earth, origin of all poetry and all apple, crying: "We played with lyrics cal / to see her in the water revived, / pieces of a lost country, / lakes and ponds / that fed the absence of rain, / calligraphy White costs (...) "(" The Dream "Footprints in the water, IMAC):" After 3 am, the poet continues salty eyes, and handed in my dreams started workshops which would be my first formal poems. Obviously I kept doing it in a hidden way because I was afraid that judge me crazy. I felt a certain inability to reason coherently and this represented a great mystery with sketches of magic to my life in general. My intuition is the voice and came back again the poetry and could not stop the flood of words that stuck out like tumult of peaceful sleep. "
Women. Water. Poetry. Genesis. The life of the water, she is water and the poetry, the work of water and women, Inana, Eva ("Lilith?). The woman, Elizabeth seems to say, is a being that comes from water and water again, again and again. Irremediable destiny. It is no coincidence that Venus emerging from the sea foam is Western icon of femininity. The poet, then, refers to the symbolic aspects, rather than the mythological women as the source and memory in the world. His writing of the ancient legacy passed down from daughter to daughter: "Someday I'll be born a fish in water / In case you do not find me (...)" ("Mirror of salt", home ..., p. 18). Elizabeth
viewed the sea as a huge female fish Birth "stubborn. The sea, female, female rage of loneliness that sweeps the salt of the universe to heal the primal wound. The look, says Elizabeth in a poem, is the breakdown of the water bed, and as the sea, the poet is aware that the answers to your questions is silence. So, back synchronous siren, goes to the words of silence, which incites them to: "Look one, words are mirrors ..." ("Do not ask for tomorrow to love", p. 47). The sea has a language that the poet explicit questions clearly and yet seeks to answer, indeed, the more complex: "The hungry fish swarm / Reinvent universe / of a sea that is treasured among the letters "(" Rooms ", home ..., p. 23). That language prompts mean salt whispers will inevitably go back to that other woman with the deformed face of doubts that never managed to verbalize: "The city of salt" / "in the desert to Timbuktu," / destitute and abandoned / like Lot's wife / is your echo in the breeze / that clears. "(Woman of Salt, Editorial Rise of the Muse, no. 5, p. 37).
The best way to stop silent, that is not equal to break the silence (silence is part of our nature water), is to break in waves, says the poet ... writing, the act that makes them cousins \u200b\u200bdelivery to women and the sea. In the poetry of Elizabeth Cazessús the act of writing is intimately connected with childbirth and motherhood, as in "Three times three," poem national contest winner Anita Trujillo Pompa 1993, included in House of sleep. Both experiences, write and give birth, are the fruit of joy and pain triggers, but again the border between Eros and Thanatos is blurred as a poem written in the sand, doomed to be swallowed by the sea, oblivion of water. Motherhood, in the poetry of Elizabeth, is a rediscovery of the body, generating amazement, ergo, writing: "Liquid mineral deluge of letters / fire operator on the foliage of the apple / Eve whom we inherited the logos of silence (...) "(p. 45). Writing is breaking the clerk with the world, physical manifestation of not wanting to be. Labor is also split, break, cry and silence. Motherhood is represented here as a ritual is concerned solely with the mother and daughter, which insulates them from the rest of mortals, the center of the universe becomes, in a contemplative silence permeated the intimate language: "(...) And the eyes of a girl looking at me / Like the faun to his mother / From the depths of their bodies coral latent / Mineral / Plant / People / In the embrace of sustainable water / Two bodies cohabiting the glittering desert / universe. "(p. 41).
absorbed in the dictates of the sea, completely foreign to the worldly bustle, to the avatars of the avant-garde technology and imposts, Elizabeth Cazessús becomes his own room. Well Gabriel Trujillo said that, rather than a poet, an artisan of the gods who look at the body's own mapping joyful footsteps of his itinerary: "There is nothing ambiguous in his poetry. And is that Cazessús recognizes that writing is a bet that no one emerges unscathed dela. "Elizabeth's work has been included in anthologies Across the Line (Junction Press, 2003) and the trilogy of English poets, sly, mystical and rebel (2004). He lives in his native Tijuana, a mother of two teenage children, is dedicated to cultural journalism and its visual poetry: "In general I think the poets of the North (Baja California specifically) have emerged as the (non-prophets) poets desert, within a reality determined by geography and as a metaphor given by the irony of life, as we have done alone without any regional tradition and away from the merits of the literary tradition of south-central Mexico. Add to this the issues of gender, compared to the status of women, and the division of antagonistic cultural groups in the state of BC In Tijuana no school of humanities to the late eighties etc. Given this has not been stronger if indifference, orphanage or denial. "
