Bill Grubaugh Historian. Jim Owens Editor. Karen Grubaugh Biography of our Association Vice President, Fred Owen Second in a series of biographies about our OFA officers by Karen Grubaugh Martin Frederick Owen, who prefers to be called “Fred,” was born 26 June 1932 in Houston, Texas to William Franklin and Maydae Elizabeth Spraull Owen. Followed by high school in Houston, Fred proudly served in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War. He received both a BBA and a Doctor of Jurisprudence from the Univer- sity of Texas. His 30 year career as a corporate attorney was followed by 13 years as an oil and gas operator. Fred has been married for 2 ½ “glorious years” to Beryl Ann, whom he met on a church bus several years after their previous spouses of many years, died of cancer. Fred and his first wife, had three children Scott Martin, Steven Harwell and Melissa. Sadly, Melissa died several years ago. Now fully and completely consumed by attempting to play golf, he fully understands why the late Bob Hope de- scribed the game as flog [golf spelled backwards]. Additionally, Fred is fulfilling a deep seeded need to leave his grandchildren with some knowledge of their forebears. To that end, a booklet to accompany the family tree, citing events which were occurring at the time their ancestors lived, is in the writing. Fred joined the Owen Family Association in order to share information with other Owen researchers. He suggests we revisit the methods by which we share information seeking a broader avenue which would permit more sharing. As the Association’s Vice President, Fred hopes the male Owen members will give serious consideration to participating in the DNA program.

    Lope de Vega, Góngora y Gilberto Owen Francisco Javier Beltrán Cabrera y Cynthia Araceli Ramírez Peñaloza Profesor investigador de tiempo completo Profesora investigadora de tiempo completo [email protected] [email protected] Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México Localice en este documento Resumen: Lope de Vega y Góngora —dos muy conocidas personalidades de la poesía barroca española— se revelan en este artículo como lecturas formativas de Gilberto Owen, poeta mexicano miembro de Contemporáneos. Palabras clave: Gilberto Owen, Lope de Vega, Góngora, Contemporáneos. Lope de Vega, Gongora and Gilberto Owen Abstract: Lope de Vega and Gongora — two well known names in Baroque Spanish poetry — are revealed in this paper as formative lectures of Gilberto Owen, a Mexican poet member of Contemporaneos. Keywords: Gilberto Owen, Lope de Vega, Gongora, Contemporaneos. La generación de Contemporáneos —Jorge Cuesta, Xavier Villaurrutia, Gilberto Owen, Bernardo Ortiz de Montellano, José Gorostiza, Carlos Pellicer, Elías Nandino y Salvador Novo— es un grupo de poetas vanguardistas cuya innovadora contribución a la literatura y la cultura en general tiene alto reconocimiento por su rigor y universalismo. A 102 años de su nacimiento, la obra del poeta mexicano Gilberto Owen ha venido revalorándose y reconociéndose como una de las escrituras más vigorosas de la primera mitad del siglo pasado. Sin embargo, entre los Contemporáneos, Owen es, probablemente, el menos leído y el menos apreciado; en buena parte por los años que estuvo fuera de México —en los que escribió lo más importante de su obra, como Desvelo, Línea y Perseo vencido—, época durante la cual dividió su vida entre el periodismo y la diplomacia.

    Michel de Montaigne: una crítica de la modernidad Una relación de amor-rechazo: Elías Nandino y Contemporáneos Lilia Solórzano Esqueda Universidad de Guanajuato Resumen Este artículo intenta mostrar el tono de las relaciones personales, las afinidades de espíritu y las distancias entre algunos miembros destacados del grupo Contemporáneos y el poeta Elías Nandino. Se hace un registro de sus primeros contactos y se da cuenta de la proximidad que alcanzó la amistad entre el escritor jalisciense y Xavier Villaurrutia, particularmente; así como los puntos de en- cuentro y de disenso en ambas poéticas. Palabras clave: Contemporáneos, Elías Nandino, poética nandi- niana, experiencia vital, almendra del mundo. Abstract This article tries to show the tone of personal relationships, affinities of spirit and the distances between some prominent members of the group Contemporáneos and the poet Elías Nandino. A record of his first contacts are made and realizes the proximity that reached the friendship between the Jalisco writer and Xavier Villaurrutia, parti- cularly; as well as meeting and dissent in both poetic points. 85 Víctor H.

Ahí había fundado con sus compañeros de escuela la revista La sombra de Nervo, a la que poco después modi- ficaron el nombre para llamarla Bohemia. Los dos títulos dan clara idea de los autores y actitudes tutelares que guiaban las inquietudes poéticas de varios jóvenes que aún no habían cumplido la veintena, con los pies todavía puestos en las orillas de un decimonónico siglo cuyas flores seguían aromando, aunque un poco marchitamente, el olfato artístico incipiente de la centuria que iniciaba.

Joven centenario, Gilberto Owen fue recordado el año 2004 en el Palacio de Bellas Artes que el país donde nació dedica a sus más altas expresiones. Sin embargo, esa celebración no hizo de él una es­ tatua de sal: la mayor parte de sus actos y de su escritura mantiene la provocación y la intensidad que en su momento despertaron. Destinar a Gilberto Owen la sala Manuel M. Ponce para iniciar formalmente su Homenaje Nacional no fue un accidente sino una forma de leerlo. La articulación de una poética. Su escenario es de música de cámara, de cofradía de iniciados, de numerables lectores. Al igual que sus compañeros, trabajó para México en cargos públi­ cos, en un instante en que la Revolución reclamaba de sus herederos el camino de la configuración de un nuevo espíritu; sin embargo, la ma­ yor parte de su energía estuvo dedicada al oficio de vivir, a ser la mala conciencia de su tiempo y a traducirlos en una obra cuyas luces no de­ jan de deslumbrarnos y asombrarnos.

    NOTAS In Memoriam Jaime Torres Bodet, Salvador Novo, Rosario Castellanos Tres escritores mexicanos de primera fila, tres figuras de relieve internacional, han desaparecido en los iltimos meses, en el curso de 1974. Las letras hispanoamericanas estin de luto. Cada una de estas figuras deja obra valiosa y perdurable. Torres Bodet se quit6 la vida, tras larga e incurable enfermedad. Salvador Novo muri6 de muerte natural. Rosario Castellanos perecio en un absurdo accidente, electrocutada en su embajada en Israel. De los tres era quizA Jaime Torres Bodet el mais versatil, y tambidn, probablemente, el mis conocido en los medios internacionales. Fue a la vez hombre de letras y hombre de accion: accidn civica, politica, dedicada a la cultura de su pais y a un esfuerzo, poco comin, que lo llevb a crear puentes de entendimiento entre culturas diversas. Torres Bodet ha sido poeta, critico--de literatura y de arte--, cuentista, novelista, ensayista, periodista, hombre piblico: ocup6 altos cargos durante buena parte de su vida, fue orador sobrio y convincente, administrador sin tacha, promotor de vastos programas culturales, tanto en Mexico, como Secretario de Educacidn Piblica, como desde su puesto en Paris como director general de la UNESCO. Existen numerosos ejemplos de la influencia "silenciadora" de los altos cargos: el escritor se sitia en un puesto de mando y deja de escribir. No ocurri6 asi con Torres Bodet: fue desde el principio de su vida hasta el final hombre de letras: su compromiso era con la cultura, no con la burocracia; nunca tuvo Mexico un alto funcionario tan perfecta y hondamente humanista; con Torres Bodet cabe comparar a Justo Sierra y Agustin Yailez, sus iguales en devocibn a la cultura y a la administracibn pdblica.

    A Nederlander W oman's Recollections of Colonial and W artime Sumatra: From Sawahlunto to Bangkinang Internment Camp Susan Rodgers Introduction* Childhood memoirs by Indonesians about growing up in Sumatra in the late 1920s and 1930s have much to tell students of the country's history and historiography.* 1 Such recollections of youth spent in Sumatran cities, market towns, or villages can sometimes speak volumes about a narrator's personal maturation toward adulthood in those decades of social change. Beyond this, these autobiographies can also narrate versions of Indonesia's own, larger scale "journey to nationhood," out of a "colonial childhood" (a recurrent trope in this type of memoir literature). Such personal recollections can also document the markedly different ways that the late colonial school system, its pedagogies, and the sharp status rivalries among students intent on * My first thanks go to Gerdy Ungerer and her husband Daniel for talking so generously with me. Anne and John Summerfield had the initial idea for these conversations. I am also deeply grateful to Cornell anthropologist James Siegel, Holy Cross historian Karen Turner, and Holy Cross anthropologist Ann Marie Leshkowich, who read early versions of this essay and made numerous astute suggestions. 1 There is a valuable literature on Indonesian autobiography. C. W. Watson's Of Self and Nation is especially insightful. C. W. Watson, Of Self and Nation: Autobiography and the Representation of Modern Indonesia (Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press, 2000). See also G. W. J. Drewes, "Autobiograffieen van Indonesiers," Bijdragen tot de Taal- Land- en Volkenkunde 107 (1951): 226-264. Anthony Reid's "On the Importance of Autobiography," Indonesia 13 (April 1972): 1-4 sets the research agenda well.
