Según el conocido poeta Homero Aridjis, la historia de la poesía es la historia de la naturaleza. No así, en su caso también es la historia de una conciencia ecológica enmarcada dentro de la tradición literaria mexicana. Sucesor de poetas como José Gorostiza, Octavio Paz y José Emilio Pacheco; Homero Aridjis ha sido también embajador de México ante la UNESCO y un prominente activista ecológico a través de la presidencia del Grupo de los 100. Aridjis ha ayudado a proteger a habitats naturales de criaturas tan diversas como la mariposa Monarca y la ballena gris; y a esta última sin ni siquiera saber nadar. Conversamos con él y nos leyó un par de sus poemas desde su residencia en Nueva York. Con Enrique Zattara y Juan Toledo    

Vivimos en la era de la identidad. En todo el mundo, las personas se preguntan quiénes son, a qué grupos pertenecen y qué significa la identidad para su vida comunitaria.

Popul Vuh: A Retelling is an inspired and urgent prose retelling of the Mayan myth of creation by acclaimed Latin American author and scholar Ilan Stavans, gorgeously illustrated by Salvadoran folk artist Gabriela Larios and introduced by renowned author, diplomat, and environmental activist Homero Aridjis. The archetypal creation story of Latin America, the Popul Vuh began as a Maya oral tradition millennia ago. In the mid-sixteenth century, as indigenous cultures across the continent were being threatened with destruction by European conquest and Christianity, it was written down in verse by members of the K’iche’ nobility in what is today Guatemala. In 1701, that text was translated into Spanish by a Dominican friar and ethnographer before vanishing mysteriously. Cosmic in scope and yet intimately human, the Popul Vuh offers invaluable insight into the Maya way of life before being decimated by colonization-their code of ethics, their views on death and the afterlife, and their devotion to passion, courage and the natural world. It tells the story of how the world was created in a series of rehearsals that included wooden dummies, demi-gods, and eventually humans. It describes the underworld, Xibalba-a place as harrowing as Danta’s hell-and relates the legend of the ultimate king, who, in the face of tragedy, became a spirit that accompanies his people in their struggle for survival. Ilan Stavans is Lewis-Sebring Professor of Humanities, Latin America and Latino Culture at Amherst College and the publisher of Restless Books. He is a prolific translator, author, and public intellectual. The post A Mayan Creation Story – Ep 82 with Ilan Stavans appeared first on Read Learn Live Podcast.

Episode Twenty-Six features Mexican-French emerging artist Alexis de Chaunac. He was born in New York City and raised in Mexico City and Paris. As a child living in Mexico, he grew up surrounded by his mother’s family and his grandparent’s friends which included Mexican artists, intellectuals, historians, poets, diplomats, and writers. These brilliant minds had a profound impact on Alexis at an early age and as a result he draws from subjects such as literature, religion, art history and politics which overlap with his interests that include natural sciences, biology and botany. In April 2019, he exhibited at Sargent’s Daughters Gallery in New York. Alexis has also exhibited through group and solo shows in major museums in Mexico (Museo Carrillo Gil, Pinacoteca Diego Rivera) and at Zona MACO art fair in Mexico City. After receiving his BA from Sarah Lawrence College, Alexis is currently pursuing his MFA in the Painting and Drawing department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Below are several links about Alexis de Chaunac’s work and those that influenced him as a child. Also included is the Jerry Saltz New York Magazine story stating that the exhibition “Vida Americana: Mexican Muralists Remake American Art, 1925–1945” at the Whitney Museum was one of the most relevant shows of the 21st century.

En el quinto programa de Trincheras de la Cultura Pop, Elisa McCausland y Diego Salgado, acompañados por Jordi Costa, se pasean por las zonas al margen, en la sombra de lo mayoritario, que pueden llegar por sorpresa a fijar sus contornos de manera más precisa que cuando lo analizamos desde el interior: lo contracultural, lo underground, lo invisible y hasta la ética y la estética de la desaparición, en un programa en el que también hay espacio para debatir el sentido mismo de la crítica y el análisis cultural en un presente de ruido y furia como el que vivimos.

photo by George Peper Caroline is enthused to welcome back Dick Russell and his crucial pertinent book “Horsemen of the Apocalypse: The Men Who Are Destroying Life On Earth – and What It Means For Our Children,” an in-depth investigation into the energy moguls most responsible for the climate change crisis facing our civilization. May a Renaissance of Sane Reverence eclipse the on-going Dystopian Death by Dementors of Doom! Dick Russell has published thirteen books on subjects ranging from natural history (“Eye of the Whale”) to the assassination of President Kennedy. For most of the past twenty years, the primary focus of Dick Russell's magazine writing and personal activism has been the environment – particularly the crisis impacting the world's fisheries and oceans. http://dickrussell.org/ “Dick Russell and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., have brilliantly laid bare the horsemen of the apocalypse and their cronies who are now steering the American ship of state and are bent on committing hara-kiri on the agreements, agencies, and regulations that are a bulwark against their own country's and the world's plunge into disaster.” —HOMERO ARIDJIS, Mexican poet, novelist, ambassador, and environmental activist; president emeritus of PEN International   “Horsemen of the Apocalypse is a mind-opening exposé of the roots and branches of fossil fuel zealots, their campaigns of misinformation, and the rebellion of their descendants. It shows how the misuse of wealth and power can undermine democracy, threaten the health of the planet, and neglect our moral responsibility to future generations.” —SHELDON KRIMSKY, PhD, Lenore Stern Professor of Humanities & Social Sciences, adjunct professor of public health and community medicine, Tufts University, and author of Stem Cell Dialogues: A Philosophical and Scientific Inquiry into Medical Frontiers The post The Visionary Activist Show – May a Renaissance of Sane Reverence Eclipse Dystopia appeared first on KPFA.

The Child Poet is an evocative memoir of a child’s dreams, in a stunning translation by the author’s daughter. A celebration of the poet’s life before 1951. Imminent fatherhood helped revive memories that had, for two decades, lain dormant. This work, narrated in a succession of interconnected vignettes, provides a portrait of Homero Aridjis in his pre-poet years. A child at a time when sights and sensations were still delivered at their purest, when each day brought new perceptions of his mother and his father, when every villager in Contepec formed part of a personal mythology. It was a time when shadows were palpable and light had a sound of its own.
