Spanische Lyrik der Gegenwart
by Javier Gómez-Montero, Petra Strien-Bourmer, Manfred Bös, Thomas Brovot, Ludger Damm, Julia Gramberg, Alexandra Ihmig, Martin Koppenfels, Susanne Lange, Franck Meyer, Theres Moser, Gerhard Poppenberg, Petra Strien-Bourmer, Javier Gómez-Montero
Erst in den sechziger Jahren erholte sich die Lyrik in Spanien vom Schock des Bürgerkriegs und vom Druck der alles erstickenden Franco-Diktatur. Langsam, aber unüberhörbar erhoben sich die Stimmen junger Autoren, deren Gedichte mit kraftvollen Sprachbildern ästhetische Paradigmen und ethische Grundmuster für die Lyrik unserer Gegenwart entwerfen. Heute sind diese Stimmen unverwechselbar geworden; jede einzelne kann den Status eines Klassikers der Moderne beanspruchen. Ob mit leicht zugänglicher Alltags- und Gedankenlyrik oder mit hermetischen, auf den ersten Blick schwer erschließbaren Texten: Diese Lyriker erdichten den Standort für den Menschen aufs neue – in immer wieder überraschenden Wendungen.Die Anthologie versammelt ein Dutzend dieser poetischen Stimmen, herausragende Beispiele der spanischen Gegenwartslyrik, die selbstbewußt das Erbe der international bekannten Großen der ersten spanischen Moderne – Antonio Machado, Federico García Lorca, Luis Cernuda, Pedro Salinas – antreten: José Ángel Valente, Jaime Gil de Biedma, Leopoldo M. Panero, José Agustín Goytisolo, Carlos Barral, José Hierro, Pere Gimferrer, Ángel González, Juan-Eduardo Cirlot, Antonio Gamoneda, Ángel Crespo, Clara Janés.

September 1991Mexikanischer Tango
Roman. Aus dem Spanischen von Monika López
by Ángeles Mastretta
Ángeles Mastretta wurde 1949 in Puebla, Mexiko, geboren. Sie studierte Kommunikationswissenschaften an der Fakultät für Politik- und Sozialwissenschaften der Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), u.a. bei Juan Rulfo. Nach ihrer Promotion war sie bis 1985 als Redakteurin und Mitarbeiterin im Rundfunk, Fernsehen und bei verschiedenen mexikanischen Zeitschriften tätig. Ángeles Mastretta widmete sich immer auch der schriftstellerischen Tätigkeit, deren Früchte sie nur zum Teil veröffentlichte, so 1975 ihren Gedichtband La pájara pinta. Den Titel für ihren ersten Roman, der 1985 in Mexiko erschien, fand sie in dem zeitgenössischen Tango Arráncame la vida (dt. Mexikanischer Tango, 1988) des mexikanischen Komponisten und Musikers Agustín Lara. Für diesen Roman erhielt sie im selben Jahr den hochangesehenen Literaturpreis Premio Mazatlán, der vor ihr u.a. an Octavio Paz, Juan Rulfo, Elena Poniatowska und Isabel Allende verliehen wurde. 1990 folgte die Veröffentlichung ihres dritten Buches Mujeres de ojos grandes (dt. Frauen mit großen Augen, 1992). Für ihren zweiten Roman, Mal de Amores (1996, dt. Emilia, 1998), für den sie 1997 als erste Frau mit dem bedeutendsten Literaturpreis Lateinamerikas, dem Rómulo-Gallegos-Preis, ausgezeichnet wurde. Angeles Mastretta lebt mit ihrem Mann, dem Schriftsteller und Journalisten Héctor Aguilar Camín, und ihren beiden Kindern in Mexiko-Stadt.

Un reino igual a ti
by Mauricio Carrera
“Let my exploits and failures be evidence of my efforts as a brave soldier, as an ardent lover. I have been fortunate, and before the shadow prevails, I decided to tell this story, which, like all others, is made of light and mud, on a fugitive course and at rest. You are always captive of knowing you are alive and of dying I don’t know when,” says the protagonist of this novel, Miguel Díaz de Aux. Miguelico, they call him, and very young he participates in the conquest of Mexico, in the company of his father, of the same name, and his brother, Fernando.Spanish and Indian at the same time, son of an Aragonese and a Taino mother, Miguelico made his destiny in the battles of war, life and love. He rides manatees in his native Haiti, participates as a soldier in the capture of Tenochtitlan, falls in love with Isabel Moctezuma, plants guava trees, travels with Cortés to the Hibueras and is in charge of burying Cuahtémoc in a place known only to him. Un reino igual a ti is a novel of adventure and love. Mauricio Carrera confirms, as he did in Fortuna, la mujer de la Conquista, that there are still stories to be told in that bloody and marvelous event that was the Conquest of Mexico. He does it with his usual style, where the real and the fantastic are united, where literature peeks into the great historical facts, where the characters persist in our memory and where there are many phrases to hold on to in order to better face the arduous and astonishing of existence. A novel that will undoubtedly find a place in your bookshelf, in your soul, in your heart. Que mis hazañas y fracasos evidencien mis afanes de valiente soldado, de ardoroso enamorado. He sido afortunado, y antes que la sombra se imponga, decidí contar esta historia, que como todas, está hecha de luz y fango, en curso fugitivo y en sosiego. Se es cautivo siempre de saberse vivo y de morir no sé cuándo”, afirma el protagonista de esta novela, Miguel Díaz de Aux. Miguelico, lo llaman, y participa muy joven de la Conquista de México, en compañía de su padre, de igual nombre, y de su hermano, Fernando.Español e indio al mismo tiempo, hijo de aragonés y de madre taína, Miguelico se hace un destino en las batallas de la guerra, de la vida, del amor. Monta manatíes en su natal Haití, participa como soldado en la toma de Tenochtitlan, enamora a Isabel Moctezuma, planta árboles de guayaba, viaja con Cortés a las Hibueras y es el encargado de enterrar, en un sitio sólo por conocido él, a Cuahtémoc.Un reino igual a ti es una novela de aventuras y de amores. Mauricio Carrera refrenda, al igual que lo hizo en Fortuna, la mujer de la Conquista, que aún hay historias por contar en ese hecho cruento y maravilloso que fue la Conquista de México. Lo hace con su acostumbrado estilo, donde lo real y lo fantástico se unen, donde la literatura se asoma en los grandes hechos históricos, donde los personajes persisten en nuestra memoria y donde hay muchas frases dónde asirse para afrontar mejor lo arduo y asombroso de la existencia.Una novela que, sin duda, se hará de un lugar en su librero, en su alma, en su corazón. Mónica Lavín: “Mauricio Carrera puede hacer lo que se le pega la gana en su arte narrativo”.Agustín Monsreal: “Es un múltiple forjador de tramas y anécdotas, pero fundamentalmente un exacto y versátil hacedor de personajes”.Eduardo Antonio Parra: “Su voz resulta fundamental para la literatura mexicana actual”.

Children's & YAThe Gnawed
by Cadena, Agustín
The putrid flesh beings and the black tar coming from open wounds, the ones that are not alive but are not dead either, those ones called the gnawed are the ones that are eating all the people at the town. That’s where Cristina, Esteban, and Arturo live, the ones who survived this pandemic after their parents died, since, due to some reason, it does not affect children nor teens. To make things worse, Natalia, Cristina’s sister, goes missing without a trace. Over time, the town’s isolation, the lack of food, and the increase of attacks from the gnawed force the three friends to make the difficult decision to either stay to resist at home or undertake the trip to “the island”, a place that is rumored could be a refuge to the survivors of the gnawing.

Graphic novelsJanuary 2019The Violet
by Juan Sepúlveda, Antonio Mercero, Marina Cochet
Valencia, 1955. Bruno falls into a trap set by the police at the Ruzafa cinema to arrest homosexuals under the law of social danger. His entry into prison at the age of eighteen, and the pressure of his family, will force him to make decisions that will mark the rest of his life. The violet is a graphic novel about the persecution suffered by homosexuals during Franco's regime in Spain, and the coexistence of the women who married them. A story that brings to light the concentration camps for homosexuals that the regime created and that historically are being forgotten. It is a unique and self-concluding work.

The ArtsApril 2021Altered Views. Voluspa Jarpa
by Voluspa Jarpa, Agustín Pérez Rubio, Sabine Breitwieser, Charles Esche, Andrea Giunta, Alberto Mayol, Cuauhtémoc Medina, Adriana Valdés
Altered Views. Voluspa Jarpa is the publication of the Chilean Pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale of Art, presented by Voluspa Jarpa and curated by Agustín Pérez Rubio. The project originates in a question the artist seeks to answer: how is the modernist, Eurocentric and colonial gaze configured? The gaze that later expands from Europe to the U.S. and constructs a symbolic contempt that is imposed as political, cultural and economic subjugation in non-hegemonic regions?Altered Views is an unprecedented research project that works as a cross-reference between various instances of European history from the 17th to the 20th Century, full of social manifestations, ethnographic searches and dominant powers, attempting to restore the conquered awe of the coloniser. The work seeks to rescue concepts coined from a Eurocentric perspective that shed light on the violence with which the world is reduced to an expansionist, developmentalist and hegemonic model. Altered Views is an invitation to reflect on issues that prevail and are still visible in our contemporary society. The volume contains a general text from the Chilean pavilion´s curator and editor of this book, Agustín Pérez Rubio explaining each part of the project; along with six different texts by Charles Esche, Sabine Breitwieser, Andrea Giunta, Adriana Valdés, Alberto Mayol and Cuauhtémoc Medina. These texts talk about the historical and contemporary repercussions of the hegemonic model.
