        El niño que no quiso llorar

        by Jiménez-Barbero, José Antonio

        Again facing his reflection on the mirror, and again the same idea coming to his mind, putting an end to his life. Inside his clenched fist, mum's sleeping pills, his only hope for escaping the hell esecially designed for him by his schoolmates. His little sister's love being his only reason to endure  a life of hardship, Santiago has become, after years suffering the cruellest of bullyings at school, a mere shadow of himself.   Otra vez frente al espejo, y otra vez con la misma idea, quitarse la vida. En el interior de su mano cerrada, las pastillas de dormir de mamá, su única esperanza para escapar del infierno que han fabricado para él sus propios compañeros de colegio. Sin más aliciente para seguir viviendo que el amor por su hermanita Teresa, Santiago se ha convertido, tras años de estar sufriendo acoso en su colegio, en una sombra de sí mismo. La llegada de Lucía, una niña nueva, extraña y diferente, logrará rescatarlo del universo frío e inhóspito en el que vive, y hará renacer en él la esperanza de volver a sonreír. Pero en el colegio, la persecución continúa y Nacho, su principal acosador, no ceja en su empeño de doblegar su espíritu de un forma u otra. Y Santiago, decidido a no dejarse derrotar, acabará transformándose en aquello que más odia.   The arrival of Lucia, a new classmate, different and awkward, will strike some degree of balance in his life, successfully rescuing him from the cold and barren universe he inhabits and triggering a new desire to smile again. But nothing changes at school: the bullying goes on relentlessly and Nacho, the worst bully, won't give up on his whim to break Santiago's spirit one way or the other. But Santiago, firmly determined not to be defeated, will inevitably turn into the thing he hates the most.

        The Voice of Portraits

        by Aurora Villalba

        Did the Dorias really have everything a family could want? Will Lucia still believe this years later? Lucia believed the Dorias were the perfect family. They seemed to have everything anyone could want: beauty, fame, and money. Just being near them made her feel safe and secure. However, the passing years reveal a very differ- ent reality to that which several family objects have borne witness: a wedding invitation, a pregnancy test, an urn that once held someone’s ashes, and a family photograph. The photograph is as tattered as Lucia’s life upon reach- ing adulthood. At twenty-five, she thought she had severed all ties with the Doria family, but one day she receives an invitation to a wedding from Alejandra Doria. Will Lucia attend?

        El retratista de los niños muertos (En los tiempos del porvenir)

        by Manuel Aparicio Villalba

        En 1923, las autoridades primorriveristas deciden esconder el cinturón de miseria que rodea la ciudad a los futuros visitantes de la Exposición Iberoamericana del 29. Más de treinta asentamientos chabolistas son desalo¬jados y sus pobladores enviados a Villalatas, la zona más alejada de cualquier ruta de paso. En aquel lugar, un arrabal sin iglesias donde los niños mueren de miseria y el único consuelo de sus madres es poder disponer del recuerdo foto¬gráfico de un cuerpo inerte, se encuentra desde hace años una fonda que resulta ser el burdel más grande, maloliente y barato de la provincia. El relato es una historia de dos grandes mujeres, Davinia y Che, que comienza en 1882, cuando Cristina Salazar Expósito cumple trece años y las monjas del Hospicio de la Santísima Trinidad le buscan un oficio de sirvienta en aquella fonda. Esa misma noche, Doña Paquita la sentará en una silla de enea en mitad del salón donde se espera, le bajará las bragas hasta los tobillos y la rifará al mejor postor entre la selecta clientela. Años después, será capaz de reinventar el pasado y desvelar el futuro. Bajo la más pura tradición del realismo mágico, El retratista de los niños muertos nos sumerge en un tiempo que trans¬curre entre la luz decimonónica de las lámparas de queroseno y la modernidad de un mundo recién estrenado por el hada electricidad, trasladándonos a un territorio que el lector sentirá mítico: Villalatas.

        Fotografía documental de Antonio Turok (Documentary photography by Antonio Turok)

        by Anna Susi

        Antonio Turok (1955, Mexico City), emblematic photographer of a generation, has collaborated in different media such as La Jornada, Aperture, Camera Work, Cronica, DoubleTake, Paris Match, Proceso, Stern, The Independent. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship, a grant from the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego, and a grant from the Trust for U.S.-Mexico Culture. He was awarded the Mother Jones Fund for Documentary Photography. He is the author of Imágenes de Nicaragua (Casa de las Imágenes, Mexico, 1988) and Chiapas. The End of Silence/El fin del silencio (Fundación Aperture-Ediciones Era, 1998). His presence in the various Central American uprisings of the 1980s led him to forge a sharp and profound look at the human condition, the conflict and armed movements. That is why years later the EZLN trusted him to enter the Chiapas jungle with his camera. Turok belongs to a generation of Latin Americans heir to great photographers such as Álvarez Bravo or Nacho López, of whom he was a student; Turok's generation is an active one that experienced technological and media changes in photography. That is why, historically, artistically and anthropologically, the understanding of the image from Turok's point of view is transcendental.
