Pero hay épocas e instantes en que esa certeza se opaca, se oscurece. Somos propensos a olvidar que son múltiples los niveles de realidad, que lo que observamos a primera vista es sólo uno de ellos, que los seres humanos somos mucho más complejos. La tendencia se agudiza cuando comenzamos a señalar las diferencias, a comparar, a sentirnos mejor los unos a los otros. De ahí “La patria es de los que la afi rman” Don Pedro Albizu Campos al sentimiento de “otredad” es un paso, seguido por las inevitables consecuencias que suelen ser el distanciamiento, la exclusión, la intolerancia; la desunión. El discurso pictórico y poético desarrollado en el portafolio Alma Boricua nos sirve de espejo en el cual podemos apreciar la diversidad de lo que somos; una diversidad que se refl eja Nuestro gran compositor, Rafael Hernández, declaraba ser puertorriqueño de nacimiento en distintas generaciones, visiones, enfoques y experiencias, a la vez que nos permite entrever lo y por convicción.

  • SPRING 2012 25 a Nuyorican Absurdist: Pedro Pietri and His Plays of Happy Subversion David Crespy
    SPRING 2012 25 A Nuyorican Absurdist: Pedro Pietri and His Plays of Happy Subversion David Crespy Jerzy Grotowski once wrote of the visionary Antonin Artaud, “He wasn’t entirely himself;” the same might be said of the late poet Pedro Pietri—who wasn’t entirely himself since he began writing plays (Grotowski 117). Pietri’s body of plays, having been produced in New York since the late sixties and early seventies, recommends itself as an example of the wave of Nuyorican theatre in the US prominent at that time—characterized by experimentation in form and the merging of social issues within that form (Mohr 92). For Raphael Dalleo and Elena Machado Sáez, Pietri is a transi- tional figure, moving from the “anti-colonial project” of his early 60’s poetry to “reconcile himself to the emergence of the Post-Sixties Order” and, in so doing, reaching out to a broader audience (Dalleo and Sáez 12). After the 1960s, Pietri chose to “disorient” himself from the mass of populist social- realism that had characterized much of Latino/a playwriting prevalent before and up to the late 1960s, and to find his voice in his own brand of Nuyorican absurdism that has at its heart “a strong affirmation of puertorriqueñismo, pride in one’s essence and heritage” (Mohr 95). Reading Pietri is a great deal like reading Ionesco; there is the same cheerful dismemberment of language, the same static violence, and above all, a calculated disorientation which serves to scourge and reinvest language (in this case, three languages: English, Spanish, and Spanglish) in ways which skew all reasoned attempts to make sense.

    ESPA 4232. Literatura puertorriqueña II Prof. Juan Otero Garabís Correo electrónico: [email protected] Oficina LPM 320 Horas de oficina M J 11am-12m Prontuario Descripción La segunda parte del curso Literatura puertorriqueña tiene como objetivo contribuir al desarrollo intelectual de los y las estudiantes mediante el contacto con las expresiones literarias de Puerto Rico del siglo XX. Para ello, las y los estudiantes examinarán diferentes textos que abordan las situaciones de la isla a lo largo del siglo XX. La temática de este curso gira en torno al estudio de las características que definen la literatura y la identidad puertorriqueña, según representadas en textos de creación y de crítica literarias del siglo XX. Es un curso panorámico que persigue desarrollar la capacidad de análisis de los y las estudiantes, por lo que se requiere su participación en las discusiones de los textos.

The interview took place in Brooklyn, NY, at Sánchez's studio, and was conducted by Josh T. Franco for the Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution. Juan Sánchez and Josh T.

FRANCO: This is Josh T. Franco, interviewing Juan Sánchez on October 1, 2018, at Juan's studio in Brooklyn, New York. So, Juan, let's just get started with the day you were born and the context of your family and early childhood. JUAN SÁNCHEZ: Well, my mother and father came from Puerto Rico. They came from Puerto Rico in the early '50s. They met here. My mother was born in Maunabo, Puerto Rico in 1919, and she passed away in 1987. My father was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, but I'm not quite sure—I think he was born in 1923, but I'm not quite sure about that; I have to check that out.

  • El Armagedón O Los Días De La Poesía Yván Silén Acercarnos a Sí Es
    A Parte Rei 53. Septiembre 2007 El Armagedón o los días de la poesía Yván Silén “Sin pathos1 no hay poeta.” Sören Kierkegaard “Me acerco a la poesía: pero para traicionarla.” Georges Bataille “la Furia [es] el signo distintivo de todo Idealismo.” Theodor W. Adorno “¿Tantas cosas habéis sufrido en vano? [. .] si es que realmente fue en vano.” Galatas 3: 4. Acercarnos a Sí es acercarnos a un desafío. Este libro de Néstor Barreto posee versos extraordinarios y posee a su vez versos que son un desastre. Néstor Barreto es un idealista-pesimista,2 porque ha colocado a la palabra, a su poesía-literaria, sobre el acontecer mismo de los hechos colectivos, sobre el devenir de sus rivales y sobre el acaecer de su propia vida. Su interpretación (¿nietzscheana?) ha pervertido los hechos. Pero Néstor Barreto ha decidido “soñar”-dolorosamente sobre el lenguaje precario que lo sueña: Néstor Barreto se ha convertido o se ha descubierto a sí como el fantasma de lo otro. Y por esto mismo tropieza contra la sombras del Hades. Ha pretendido que su vida de publicista sea tan importante como la existencia extraordinaria del poeta. Su contradicción delata los “intereses creados” de su lenguaje que se volverán contra él como sombras. Sus conceptos eliminan, o pretenden eliminar, el conflicto de la vida: la crítica de los conceptos (como mito filosófico) o la desconceptualización de la vida. Este, y no otro, es el peligro de la poesía- literaria (de Sí). Aun así, pese a sus excesos, Sí es un texto excelente. No es hermoso, pero es “curioso”, provocador y estimulante.
