En Newsjiffy el 2008.10.19

The Handmaid's Tale by Canadian author Margaret Atwood, which I studied for A-Level, is a dystopian warning of the dangers of taking reproductive freedoms for granted. The narrator, Offred, lives in a strict hierarchical society called Gilead, where religion has been perverted to enslave others. Due to nuclear biological warfare, there has been a sharp birth decline. Society is broken down into classes: Wives, Marthas (housekeepers), Aunts, Handmaids and Commanders. Offred is a Handmaid, one of...

A series in which I bring you great posts by my blogbuddies, because they're all smarter than me. If the original is in English, then I post in Spanish and link to the original. If they write in Spanish, then... well, you get the idea, right? :-) In the end, I'm every bit a thief as those bloggers who I despise are. But at least I give credit! :-) Una serie en la que les traigo grandes posts de mis blogbuddies, porque todos ellos son más inteligentes que yo. Si el original está en...

Speaking at an Americas Conference panel discussion Friday on the next U.S. president’s Latin American policy, McCain advisor Richard Fontaine started out by mentioning an old Brazilian flame of McCain’s, who recently emerged in the press. "Talking a little about his personal experience, he was famously born in Panama and has traveled all over the hemisphere for many years." Fontaine said. "In fact, I saw, I guess it was last week, that his old girlfriend in Brazil has...

Justina weaving on her hand loom, in Pacchanta We spent about 45 minutes talking with this lovely Quechua-speaking woman, who lives with her children and mother-in-law in a small village called Pacchanta. It’s on the trekking circuit around Nevado Ausangate. Justina earns money by weaving textiles on her handloom. The day I met her she was weaving a striking piece of fabric with condors and geometric designs, made from handspun, home-dyed wool. The colors were quite beautiful. Her daughters looked...

McCain Plays the Race Card - Swampland - TIME This is hardly subtle: sinister images of two black men, followed by one of a vulnerable-looking elderly white woman. Thoughts from Kansas - McCain: Not ready to lead McCain has no reason to place Spain in Latin America, nor to doubt the Spanish dedication to "humans rights, democracy and freedom." They, at least, don't torture people in Latin American prisons. Can we say the same thing about George Bush and John McCain? Socialism - Swampland -...

En Telenovelas (Inglés) el 2008.08.24

According to media scholar Jesús Martín-Barbero, melodramatic genres such as the Argentinean tango, the Mexican ranchera and, most of all, telenovelas, perform a crucial role in Latin America?s everyday life (1993). ?The melodrama is much of what we are?fatalists, inclined to machismo, superstitious?and what we dream of becoming?stealing the identities of others, nostalgia, righteous anger? (p. 225). I add the bolero to this list of melodramatic genres. All of them--telenovelas, tangos,...

Hoy volveremos a reunir dos de nuestras grandes pasiones: la poesía y la mitología. El vínculo entre ambas será nada menos que una de las mejores poetisas de la era victoriana; Mary Elizabeth Coleridge. En un principio, la mayoría de los críticos consideraron que el poema hace referencia a las hadas, pero esta tendencia luego fue mutando hasta alejarse completamente de su concepto inicial. La duda quizás proviene del extraño lenguaje que utiliza la...

(Spanish version) I live in Peru, yet another underdeveloped country in Latin America that struggles with poverty, a dreadful educational system, water scarcity and gender inequality, among other world issues. I must admit that I have not had to endure these problems everyday, as I am one of the few youths with countless commodities in Lima, grand urban capital of my country. However, this position has allowed me to study other aspects of this overly crowded and polluted city that others may not...

By Gabriel Infante Carrillo Mexican governments, authorities and politicians in general have been telling for years that Mexico is a democratic, institutional, rule of law and sovereign country, but when it comes to human rights issues it seems that Mexico is far beyond to become a true democratic state.

On Sunday’s El Nacional, the newspaper had a study showing that Venezuela’s diplomatic service has become totally unprofessional and no position since 2005 has been filled considering the credentials, trajectory and qualifications of the candidates. Instead, Venezuela’s diplomatic corps has become a way station for former military and Cabinet members who have no role to play within the Chavez administration but to whom Chavez owes some debt for services and favors rendered.Today, former...

GET LOST, MILTON! I have always thanked heavens that I know all sorts of people and I am happy to announce that I have actually encountered folk who love to get together and stay up all night in order to have marathon readings of Paradise Lost. Therefore, I can say that one can learn valuable lessons from everybody? even? from the Gothic. Yes.From kids known at schools as the ?Goths?. I met some while on tour in Vancouver and frequented their hangouts for a week. I testify that they hang out in ?normal?...
