Fernando del Priore, Alberto Gerding, Diego Recalde, Marcelo Moreno, Tano Pedercini, Eduardo Parise, Diego Rivarola y Ruben Stella nos comparten sus textos elegidos. ¿Qué entendemos por “Égloga”? ¿Y por “Comedia del Arte”?, ¿Qué es el Talmud? ¿Qué significa el término “Mahabharata”? ¿Y “Arlequín”? Albert Einstein le envía una carta a una niña, que le pregunta si los científicos rezaban y cómo es su relación con Dios. ¿Qué pensaba Fernando Pessoa acerca del Carnaval? ¿Cómo interpretaba Borges a los carnavales y lo que los mismos representaban? ¿Qué creencias previas a su suicidio sobrevolaban los pensamientos de Jerzy Kozinski, antes que el escritor tomara aquella decisión? ¿Qué se desprende del término “Carnavalización” en la América Latina? ¿Cuáles fueron algunos de los beneficios económicos que la exitosa “50 sombras de Grey” produjeron en la ciudad de Portland? ¿Qué relación existe entre el clásico de la literatura “Doña Flor y sus dos maridos” y la celebración del Carnaval? Descubrimos una extraña particularidad relacionada con la muerte del dramaturgo griego Esquilo Salvador Elizondo, Raúl González Tuñón, Luis García Montero, Leopold Senghor y José Pablo Feinmann, nos regalan sus escritos, s a través de la voz de nuestros locutores . Nos detenemos a pensar las letras de las canciones de artistas como Antonio Carlos Jobim, Rosana, Las Pelotas y , The Cure, entre otros. Y como siempre, escuchamos las voces de nuestros oyentes quienes nos acercan sus propios textos o aquellos que escogieron de otros, para seguir creando este infinito collage sonoro de lecturas compartidas.

If this decision was due to a desire to studv historical causes, no one can criticize it. But if on the other hand it was taken in order to create black self-consious-ness, it is simply a turning of his back upon history which has already taken cognizance of the disappearance of the majority of Negroes.
Leopold Senghor compares different ways of knowing while developing his theory of Negritude and combining the roles of poet and politician.

Gary Wilder‘s new book, Freedom Time: Negritude, Decolonization, and the Future of the World (Duke University Press, 2015) builds upon the work he began in The French Imperial Nation State: Negritude and Colonial Humanism between the Two World Wars (University of Chicago Press, 2005). Freedom Time considers the politics and poetics of Aimee Casaire and Leopold Senghor during the period 1945-1960, “thinking with” and “working through” the ways these figures anticipated a post-imperial world. The book explores notions of liberation and temporality, considering the alternatives to nationalism and the nation-state that these thinkers imagined as they looked forward to a more democratic, autonomous future on the other side of colonialism. While The French Imperial Nation State asked readers to “rethink France,” the project here is, in the author’s own words, to “unthink France”. Indeed, France, decolonization, and even liberation itself, are all interrogated in this work, as they were by the authors who are at the center of the project. Freedom Time is a book that takes seriously the futures envisioned by Casaire and Senghor, situating their projects historically and intellectually within contexts French and global, and considering the implications of their thought for a contemporary world still troubled by profound inequalities. It is an important book for those interested in the most urgent political questions, and in the problems and promises of freedoms past, present, and future. At the beginning of our interview, Gary mentions a video link I sent him before we spoke. It is a video of Lauryn Hill performing “Freedom Time,” a wonderful song that I was reminded of by this wonderful book. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
