Storni's suicide
Translated by Uxue Alberdi, the number 20 of Munduko Poesia Kaie is from those circles. Poems of love, despair, happiness, death. “You walk through my veins. I feel like I'm dead slipping. I support my fingers in the arteries of the temples, of the neck, of the cuffs, trying to stick.”
The Stornit were Swiss migrants in Argentina. These have been the Swiss origin in the South American country: Architect Francisco Righetti, actor Myriam Stefford, Juan Imhoff, fourth at the 2015 World Rugby Championship. Also two presidents of the Republic: Pellegrini, Kirchner.
Father Storni lived trapped by alcohol and died young. Poor neighborhood recitals, excellent speakers, professors, Alfonsina's poetry had trampled on carpets and dirt floors. The concern of the rosebush placed the premium opera of 1916 very well, in which the women with inquisitive conscience, the unemployed and the matrimonial mother, converted into an argument precisely life itself, the new capitalism: “Aligned houses, aligned houses,/ aligned houses./ Squares, squares, squares/houses aligned./ People already have the square soul,/ ideas aligned/ and angle on the back.”
And the body also turned into a battlefield, Storni sang to love not romantic, not pink, but natural and, after all, classic: “Behold, I caught you by the neck, [Eros]/ on the shore, the arrows of your attic/(…)/ and well wrapped in the golden ankles/ found a loop that said: sex.”
Does all of this make Alfonsina Storni a modernist? That is a way of saying it. It's a way to disable Storni. The pen, which he thought was a “small and strong canyon,” has been used to say that Alfonsina Storni was a sensitive modernist being affected by neurosis, a lost sheep in the area, another icon of that Argentina that was in the middle of the lung. Suicide is the same thing. In 1935 he was diagnosed with breast cancer and in Mar del Plata he died throwing his head into the ocean. You can make an idolatry out there, because he left the note. Or you can join Horacio Quiroga's death by doing another machismo exercise. Or rather it can be said that it was one of those who believed it was of every life and read this beautiful book in his health, as read in the works of the great liberators.

I received your e-mail in personal mail on the strike portals. At first, like many others, I thought it was to let you know what options we have in the face of the strike. But no, the e-mail received was a political and communicative movement against the strike.

This weekend I've been thinking about the word 'aesthetic' in relation to a phrase said by a friend: “This work is aesthetic.” I have studied the etymology of the word aesthetic, it seems that its meaning was originally perceived through the senses, and it was later associated... [+]
In recent years, the concept of industrial policy has reappeared strongly at various levels. The organization that was the hammer of neoliberalism, the International Monetary Fund, today insists that markets have been pressured to allocate resources efficiently and solve these... [+]
The other day in Bilbao, I met a friend at the Bira bar. We were very happy at the Tar and I said: “Of course, since you’re Guipúzcoa, hahahaha.” And he insisted that he was not Guipuzcoan. Without me understanding it, I kept saying, “Ah! Is it not? You were born in New... [+]
Zalantza asko izan ditut, meloia ireki ala ez. Ausartuko naiz, zer demontre! Aspaldian buruan dudan gogoeta jarri nahi dut mahai gainean: ez da justua erditu den emakumearen eta beste gurasoaren baimen-iraupena bera izatea. Hobeto esanda, baimen-denbora bera izanda ere, ez... [+]
We are in the midst of a world imperialist offensive led by the Western bourgeoisie. The form that the imperialist offensive has taken is that of war, with all its variants: economic war, cognitive and cultural war, lawfarr; and, of course, military war. Western imperialism has... [+]
I just saw a series from another sad detective. All the plots take place on a remote island in Scotland. You know how these fictions work: many dead, ordinary people but not so many, and the dark green landscape. This time it reminded me of a trip I made to the Scottish... [+]
To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this. In today’s hostile environment, opinions of this kind are not well received. Perhaps LUZ will not publish this because it does not correspond to the opinions they have published so far (but if they have finally decided to publish... [+]

And for another year, the unions have organized prefabricated strikes for us. And we, individually, will decide whether or not to join the strike, without the need for any assembly at the school.
The strike model that I was taught is no longer in vogue, it seems. In my... [+]
Life surrounds everything, it is limited and fragile. To live good lives, it seems to me that the body knows what to do, while the mind, although it knows (when it is well informed), often sees the body deliberately silence. In this silence the mind opens itself to relations... [+]
