Ali Chumacero, echoes of the other side

Last Saturday, while the final table of the World Meeting of Poets in Latin flare subsided a tiring night, I learned of the death of Ali Chumacero. No Before long, I discovered to my side, on the quarry bench where he sat, forgotten journal. I took it and went to the scene to avoid suspicion, but mostly having to return. It was neither more nor less, the number 133, the magazine the penny, for the months from April to May 1988. The piece is a tribute to Ali Chumacero, and includes texts by Carlos Montemayor, Marco Antonio Campos, Octavio Paz and Ramon Xirau, among others. I thought it would last a good destination if the magazine had included a text by Antonio Alatorre, who died the same day that Chumbley. What
some strange coincidence is that I caused a bit absurd and unbearable fear, so do not hesitate to give away the magazine, which I can only recall the discovery and this beautiful picture.

Khazar Dictionary: hipernovela



The Khazar Dictionary of Milorad Pavic is a multi-book, an excellent-and overwhelming-hiperliteratura example, since its structure is essentially hypertext. This is a book that practically links the past with the future in the literary technique (inevitably think of Calvino, Queneau, Perec ...), in history and even mysticism. With Pavić, the reader learns to read at work necessarily requiring participation not only open but transcendent, which is willing to go back and forth both in the book (the classic style Rayuela ) as in dreams, because as Pavić himself says, "only one who can read the parts of a book in the correct order, you can create the world anew. "Again:" it is more important to believe in looking, listening and reading than in painting, singing or writing. "

The official website of Pavić is an essay entitled Jasmina Mihajlovic Milorad Pavic and hyperfiction which hit a few excerpts:
como
A literary text to Become an electronic text - reading and writing develops on a computer which makes non-linear and non chronological narration possible just like the primary one, the one which is characteristic of oral literature, where rhapsods organize and link fragments into a permanently movable whole which has neither a classical beginning nor a classical end and where the text is subject to perpetual changes.

[...]

It seems that an important turn and revolution has happened in the literature of the 20ieth century with the appearance of the literary works that have characteristics of the hypertext as well as with the transition of fiction into a new technology, so that literature can be divided into two currents. First of them being the non interactive and the second – the interactive writings, so That the future of fiction lies in this key.

Put My Face On Diffrent Hair Cuts

original Plagiarism


Against the anxiety of influence, nothing beats the ecstasy of influence. Precisely this is the original title of this essay Jonathan Lethem, The Ecstasy of Influence . A plagiarism , translated by the publisher as Deck Against originality.

fourth liners Says:
One of the most chanted singsong for the art world was the "duty of originality." We are nothing if not aspire to the truly unique. Jonathan Lethem takes the song to the reservations of those who have found influences blatant plagiarism secret throughout the spectrum of culture, and challenge crumbles and throws accurate overboard assumptions that give life and pride to the acolytes of originality. After a wealth of examples and arguments, the end of the assay is very little of the temple of the "unique" and "renewal."

An anarchist leaflet

These two books by Roberto Arlt, Los siete locos and The flamethrower would be very useful for the times we live in, at least to get lost in digressions that lead to more dark corners homdos our Western spirit sad and tormented. Here

anarchy is the end a good look at the misery and indignity of corporations (or the principles of the societies) in Latin America. Arlt is, of course, the teacher that every writer would have, except Borges.






I let a couple of quotes from the prefaces of both books:

Erdosain Roberto Arlt the split with the social and religious to bring the plight of the constraints which regret is dominated : God, society. This means that Remo Erdosain think and think others from two reference points: the relationship between man and divinity and connection with society. His
acts are inspired by the dictates of those imperatives. Hallucination is attracted by these two poles, at once denied.

Mirta Arlt, preface to Los siete locos.


The future is ours, working arrogance. We will create our literature, not constantly talking of literature, but in proud solitude writing books that contain the violence of a "cross" to the jaw. Yes, one book after another, and "bufen eunuchs."

Roberto Arlt, Preface to The flamethrower .
