Key words: Winette of Rokha, chilean literature, poetry, book presentation.


I begin by noting the good impression that I have produced the publication of this critical edition of the complete poetic works of Rokha Winette. More than welcome, I find admirable. From the grandeur of the appearance of the book in that format a bit excessive rokhiano with those huge block letters, to the number of pages (626), thick paper, bright (maybe too thick), the integration of contemporary critical studies and current, the overflow of poetic texts, notes, poems by Pablo de Rokha, letters, postcards and profuse imagery, all of which reminds us of the specific and definite objectivity of the poet's own books and her husband. This is a valuable work in many ways, but here I just want to highlight two: 1. The rescue of a poet, one or another, forgotten, repressed, invisible, disappeared from the national literary tradition and, needless to say, the American. This might, you can tell from many writers, as the pantheon of sacred heritage is always a select few or the best lobbyists, but I think in the case of Luisa Winette, the bailout is important more than symbolic, because the circumstances surrounding his life and work. Figure epigonal her husband Paul of Rokha in the field of Chilean and Latin American avant overshadowed his figure not only for his own monumental work, but also because the name was always associated Winette to the poet, it would have to add the fact that while Paul Winette supported, this support was always a patriarchal bias (or at least the articulation of the child, the muse and the poet was always ambiguous.) Other reasons were probably the misogyny prevalent in the cultural area of \u200b\u200bChile, the disruption of the winettniana writing about the feminine literary tradition, with the exception of Mistral and the fact that the national literary field was dominated by media criticism and led by men. 2. The importance of this rescue is made with all available artillery. That is, I believe it is essential that the literary field is clogged, injunction, censored, with the presence of this artifact production that fills one of the many gaps in a system, like many others, is to all, and almost objective. The production of this book provides not only the complete works of a major poet cinematic movement in our culture, but critics bombing accompanying his darts match in the messianic Chilean literary system again shows its cracks. The text thus creates its own rolling motion between the transmitting and receiving a multiplicity of assumptions, questions and answers that should continue to be addressed by a real audience whenever possible.

Entering the private space of the device and composition book, I think this is a critical anthology and not many books that use disguised. In his careful mosaic is a totalizing decisive intervention, but not complete. In this regard, several points remain open drain in the poems and critical interventions aimed at continuing a dialogue surrounded by questions not only about the poet, but also the literary system that deleted from their files. Leaving aside some minor details not like the cover, photo header, acknowledgments, a dedication to Julius Tagle, member and family friend, the presentation of the flaps and the back, the core of this critical edition is for a foreword by the editor, Javier Bello, the complete production of Luisa Juana Ines Winette, 13 critical historical references heterogeneity, six current critical studies, four poems by Pablo de Rokha dedicated to the poet, some unpublished letters and an interesting iconography.

Javier Bello's prologue set in the first place Winette's work in the context of Chilean poetry and critical reception. Notes the lack of dissemination of its production from the publication of the anthology , 1953 published by Paul and diversion Rokha biographical exigua has had its critics. It should be noted that in addition to the anthologies mentioned by the editor, there is an anthology of poetry Latin American art (1916-1935) Mihai Grunfeld, published by Hyperion in Spain, where 55 authors are selected and of these only 3 women being one of Rokha Winette and the other two: Norah Lange and Magda Portal. Winette appears with 8 poems, including a fragment of The valley loses its atmosphere. Bello approaches the figure and the production of Winette articulating their approach against tradition literary allusions to the contributions of substantial criticism and critics involved in the anthology. A description of the structure of the publishing and the reasons for the inclusion of each text. Analytical work or demystify the critical models of the earlier tradition that served to analyze the work of Winette, including Paul himself Rokha, whose paternalism was evident, but also contradictory. In my view, the bard's poetic intuition often allows you to go beyond the vision of Winette like a flower, goddess, muse, mother and child, to make it a poet that resembles Sappho of Lesbos, Teresa, Juana Inés, Delmira, Emily Bronte as outlined in Fire black. Javier Bello makes the journey of the texts in parallel to the path of Luis-Carlos versus Winette-Paul in a mirage, which recognizes the mythical symbol of the couple that wants to be in the covenant poetic. But also draws attention to another search, which starts from sleep Forms and away from the representation that makes the criticism of his body, so filled with itself from the sheer existential void. In this sense, includes contributions reviews that appear in the volume, Monteleone, Falabella, Ortega, Valdes, Mateo del Pino, among others, and others to record their various contributions from an analytical currently is committed to women's writing. The prologue is intended to show how the poet's path towards self-recognition goes through certain rituals: love, emptiness, death, the dawn, all elements that can mutate and become a renaissance marked by linguistic experimentation. True prophetic overflow makes the subject in its own respect, now no longer subordinate, spouse, flower or grieving mother, to become in the course of his own writing and assume a place similar to that of her husband Paul of Rokha.

We will not mostly in the 13 texts of traditional criticism, not only for reasons of time, but also because it largely repeated, with some exceptions, a variety of stereotypes about the poet and his production, and analyzed by current critics of the book. Winette as mother, wife and artist charming, beautiful girl, popular artist and epic, exceptional woman, queen, good, mystic, poet of the people, feminine, tender and revolutionary are the epithets repeated ad nauseam in these critical sketches of the past.

conclude this brief presentation with a brief review of the contributions of the critical updates to the book from new theoretical perspectives, with particular emphasis on the cultural historical context, critical reception, family and marital relations, the discursive transformation of the poet, the subversion of the name and the pseudonym, the construction of subjectivities, identities, representations of the countryside and the city and the development of new imaginary among others.

Soledad Falabella emphasizes the pseudonym as a strategy and its relationship to gender, power and legitimacy. In his approach relieves the name change goes to Luisa Anabalón Sanderson pseudonym Juana Inés de la Cruz in What I said silence as a negotiation with the statutory rules, and later the nickname of Rokha Winette with Cantoral to make a radical break with his past life. This latest book present a double threshold of transformation: the emergence of Winette and from the poem "1936", the creation of a new self that focuses on the collective heart of the masses. For its part, Puerto Rican Juan Gelpi critical works on the relationship between Winette of Rokha and Alfonsina Storni, paying particular attention to metrics such as border and complex phenomenon, which would be an element that characterizes women's avant-garde poetry. His work will also stop in Cantoral, the poems of 1936, to call attention to the break with the rural world is found and the beginning of a representation of the mass urban view in a positive way. Mateo del Pino Angeles stops in detail in the cultural historical context that exists in the early twentieth century in Chile and Latin America, to draw a mosaic of the situation of women within and outside the sphere of culture, and link it to writing of Winette of Rokha and their fellow travelers. In that same impulse provides an overview of contemporary critics and later, and then relieve the main topics, stereotypes and myths that shaped the reception of the various books of the poet. Mateo del Pino also stops on a meticulous analysis of different masks and strategies nominative poet, identity movements (Juana Ines Winette, Luisa, Ivette, Federico, Marcel) seeking self invisible to relieve a self biographical literature there may be more freely.

The Argentine Jorge Monteleone critical stops in the analysis of the imaginary construction of the subject wittnetiana poetry. His approach reviews the various instances of your journey, comparing texts pseudonyms, as well as the transformations of the subjects that shape it. From Juana Inés de Cross, his first step as authorial figure, when the subject is duplicated in a monodiálogo herself, following in the footsteps of the monk of hacker crime figure, through the I-Thou relationship that develops as Winette of Rokha and filling the appearance Paul's Rokha loving dialogue as otherness, to complete what the critic calls "the vacuum diagram of a future poetry." In this scheme, the emptying seems stuck on the body and as you look like. In the opinion of the author, the poet finds two ways to multiply the subject, the first of the brotherhood solidarity of the socialist utopia and the second, the way forms of sleep, which is another way of apprehending itself. The position of the subject at this time will get free of the body to anchor the named signs that the fragment and multiply in a host of analog images themselves of sleep, where the body lacks the presence or has disintegrated. That is why, finally, if the body is the metaphor of self, the word becomes a correlate of subjectivity, a breakup and an outbreak of the sign-word is thrown open to the ecstasy of it.

The last two volume critical are those of Eliana Ortega, which mainly refer to the poem "James City" Cantoral, and Adriana Valdes, who analyzes two critical reviews written in different times and sets its own vision of the poet. Ortega reviews the profusion of matter-symbol city Winette production, the enthusiasm of their vision paravanguardista by the new modalities of the urban world and its relations with the process of modernity, voyeurism complicit in his eyes that appropriates the city area in terms of memory and also future and the possibility that the description external world is finally represented an opportunity to talk with your own text, writing, and space. For its part, Adriana Valdés analyzes two critical texts, that of Manuel Magallanes Moure published in 1915 and John Luigi, 1951, to show rather than the fallacy of their praise, but the mark of the contexts and the influence of public areas period. Magallanes Moure While celebrating the "naive" and "moral courage" of the poet, as well as sensitivity, emotion, physical beauty and fragility, rules of conduct necessary for a woman to write, Juan de Luigi stops at Paul's influence of Rokha, feats Winette female and their loyalty to the popular cause. Valdés concludes his presentation with a foreshortening of the erasure exercises on the marital yoke Winette work and the need to explore other lines of work such as the camouflage of the writings of both poets, political writing, eros female looms since its inception and representations of motherhood.

finish this brief account of the work presented here, the importance of collecting, as I indicated at the beginning to the study of literature and our culture in general, giving our collective sense to have. Is a research and outreach effort conducted with rigor, with an open mind and a careful and respectful rescue one of our fundamental poets. Remain to study other aspects of the work witnettiana as is logical and obvious, including venture into aesthetic and critical work of the poet to link or separate production Rokha Paul criticism. In this regard, and within their specific critical view, is the manuscript letter published in Sum and destination, directed Polish writer Witold Gombrowicz, one of the great storytellers of the twentieth century, which points out their doctrinal differences with the author's aesthetic and Europe as well as a series of articles published in the journal Crowd, in newspapers and other magazines.

I wish to book a trip fruitful and controversial, to, within and among its readers.

Changing Gunsafe Combination Redhead

Losing the thread: The hiperlectura and bewilderment from readers des (with) focused

blog's article entitled Electronic Literature Nietzsche changed, would it change us? , Juan José Díez echoes an article by Nicholas Carr published in The Atlantic in which the author shows his bewilderment at the decentralized reading the faces to read a book or an article, and blames the use of the network, which creates an internal struggle for a mind tending to wander in the immediacy and multiplicity of information that provides the display, which is then serious difficulties to find their way, it basically loses the thread continuously and ultimately, precludes them from reading in depth.



True to the name of this blog, I would do some thinking on this thread missed reading it creates, especially those that are not digital natives, the legitimate uncertainty about whether it will exhaust the possibility of extensive and thorough reading of the text. Carr dissects himself very well the role that some older technologies have led to the thinking of our activity in our lives (as the mechanical clock, we adjust some natural activities for submitting them to a mathematical programming). The transition to writing, as he remembered Socrates in Phaedrus, would lose the true wisdom, and let our mind knowledge dead in a foreign material and foreign to our mental operations. Carr acknowledges that Socrates could not see the virtues of writing, despite having good reasons, and perhaps he should have that problem with reading hypermedia. The article is not trivial, because ultimately asked by the systematization of information that Google aspires after the steps of generating a powerful artificial intelligence, in which the system can with the individual.

course, the constant recurrence of this system immediately and ubiquitous search is focusing information and research activity of half of humanity, and the multiplicity of links between themselves that offers multiple results seem to create a super gibberish at all distracting of all, because there is a constant center, but a constant re-centering each new piece of information. In a way, if you steal the anxiety that produces a traditional reader who seeks to follow a particular thread and yet trapped by a network of fascinating and never seen suggestions, I have never seen the idea of \u200b\u200bcontemplation in such an absolute singular. And I know the meaning of "consider" means "get attention" on something. But what we care when this is so intense because the object is constantly changing?

The recent PBS documentary Digital Nation, we propose, first, that children overestimate Stanford multitasking efficiency, efficiency that does not corroborate the results of concentration made to them. Moreover, brain scan at UCLA showed greater involvement of brain areas to surf the internet-Google-, compared to the traditional reading activity, which activates fewer areas. Especially, navigation catapult decision areas that are normally associated with the exercise of intelligence. Of course, increased use does not involve brain more attention to an object, but it does indicate a greater associational activity (but this decision is consistent enough, in-formed?). The documentary also said that children only read summaries of the books (I think that is pre-digital activity, I fear) and, of particular interest is the detection, by their teachers, that the tests are written by a fragmented because of its many tasks, much like backsliding at the same point in each paragraph. We still have a lot of confusion on the interpretation of these effects.



Without doubt, the statement cited by Maryann Wolf-Carr, we are not only what we read, but the way we read, it seems crux of the issue in this plot. Like Nietzsche with his late typewriter, which led to a telegraphic form and aphoristic writing, hypermedia leads us to another way of writing, of expressing and thus, thinking. All rhetoric is a communicative technique and a technique must be learned and grasped for it to work properly. Both native and non-digital natives produced the difficulty of addressing a communication technique different from the apprehended (the first was bored one long text of Tolstoy, the second contrast overwhelmed this amazing experience with the fragmentation and division of the text in radio spots de-spun). Perhaps the way we read it distracts us from what we are.

However, we think the reader distraction (in the sense of reading a novel in fragments, for example) is no stranger to the reading experience itself. Any traditional reader will recognize that unless pleasant exceptions, often had to read a book without doing so at a stretch. Furthermore, between one chapter and another may have been due to go to work, helping children, talk to your partner, hanging out with friends, do laundry, cook, fix some issues, and what else. Is not life a real distraction from reading? Do we kick it deep in reading? The nun Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz decided to enter the convent to read and write, and still complained of a lack of focus and continuity due to the monastic tasks and the arrival of their mates for the time off that she devoted to the study.

Nor is there much doubt where gamers spend hours immersed in the game experience, or when we watch a movie, there is no distraction except as mentioned. What happens to the reading, then? Literature, like news or movies or games, have their places. Have you been to the codex to do anything. And is there for many yet. But literature does not stop to find their place in this frenzy of digitization. A recent article a blog shows that attempts to publish books with videos and blogs (the Vook ) is rather a question of market improvement or enrichment in reading, and the author decides to keep the book ( the book ), because who cares to read, not like you stop watching a video on the matter, what matters is the reading of the book itself, which a traditional book, or in default thereof e-book device is right now (albeit with lower prices per share).

It is true that I believe, have issues Vook superfluous. Walking the other day for some previews of the classics that have for web (the iPad version seems more orderly and coherent), there is the option of viewing the same page a video and text, and even the text on video , which is no longer an exercise in multitasking, is a superposition impossible readings (film with someone talking about the book, and a text typeface to decipher). Of course, there is the option of viewing only text, but then I do not see any interest in the rich edit. It is also possible to keep the video clips and ignore the text. There is a clear objective editorial, a coherent integration of materials, and links added to the text, except some really relevant, leading to a dictionary page and others external to the editorial which explains the word bound, within a very random, and sloppy from editorial point of view and digital, as there are now ways to insert text dictionaries for all of them without going through links that will enrich your reading in a multimedia and relevant. Thus, any lost the thread of a reading, bad severed its purpose.

certainly what is needed is a consistency to it all. That hypertext can be infinite, like a Borges story (which ironically is shielded themselves behind mirrors and mazes of words and images that manufactured and with which readers wonderfully tangled), is an idea that only makes sense if we understand it as an opportunity to organize a pleasure and need at the same time, not as an invitation to madness and dyspraxia content. How could I not jump from one thing to another, sometimes without rhyme or reason, now if Google launches suggestions, flashes, almost avant-garde had algorithmically fragments connecting partners and other times completely decoupled for the pleasure of our curiosity ? Say this is a part of the reading, the surface, that frightens us because we mistake for another parallel approach that allows hypermedia: superficial reading that took place as an interactive experience, as performance or happening on the screen, requires a response, an attitude, an action, such as sharing in a social network comment on another network, computer on a digital dating own, responding in a blog. This requires knowing where you have read that passage, with whom and what I associate, where they classify, and who want to confront. I think this activity, with its decision-making can settle in a continuous process, these readings fragmented, and since then proceeds to depth knowledge. But this is not possible if we confuse readings searches, but apparently occur simultaneously. Actually, maybe that is what distracts us. Therefore I also think that the visits, the route taken, it can be anyone, and that's where multitasking and its negative effects to date can be mitigated, because attention is now able to dive into a specific objective in a way which, with its richness and variety of immediacy never seen before, the brain learns to discern, to park, to relegate relevant information but not urgent, and to collect in the way that you're really interested. Following the thread. This allows management work al mismo tiempo diferentes recorridos para diferentes lectores, pero para todos una lectura concentrada. Y la fragmentación no importará si las conexiones se eligen sin perder el hilo, es más, siguiendo varios hilos incluso, pero atentos a lo que hacemos. Es, simplemente, convertirse en un Ulises que no sólo no se deja llevar por el canto de sirenas, sino que además es capaz de aprehender sus cantos. Pero ser un héroe resulta difícil. Desde luego necesitamos desarrollar y ejercitar técnicas para aprender a leer así, y las propias búsquedas, etiquetaciones, enlaces, deben ir mejorando: es un problema, por curioso que parezca, de usabilidad. El libro no nos distrae porque conocemos su técnica de lectura y porque its layout and design help from getting lost once known technique. But remember the video medieval monk who can not drive either a manuscript and its mechanism of access to reading. Is more concerned about how to access information on what can be learned in the book.



In short, the problem of textual fragmentation and lack of concentration along with a deeper reading could be raised and, to my mind:

  • We apprehend a hypermedia reading with a reading technique that helps us because it is for other support and rhetoric, and that confuses and distracts us. We do not read as we are. We need then
  • hypermedia technique precisely hile reading the fragments and bring us what we want to read, not what tempts us without the design made by Google so far.
  • Thus we can define places, spaces according to the literature, which is both enjoyable and enriching the (experience) reading of a nineteenth-century novel, say, without fragmentation and hypermedia possibilities attached to it involving necessarily an interruption, a distraction almost random. There will be a linear reading of the novel, but it will be immersive reading and consistent, and use its text, at the same time rich in connections, involvement of readers, etc. And of course, given the option (but not as frantic flight forward, and now are searching the net) to leave or quit, or reading only part of the story (I think that missing page has always been allowed .)
  • Only after this wild randomness as suggestive as disparate links, which allow us access to the surface of many other unforeseen relationships or documents to be discovered, have a greater sense, and can complement a surprising and brilliant our reading, now, deep.

length This article will be deleted at this point to those readers who have lost their power of concentration on both continuous paragraph, and although I removed some links to help and have left others to see if just reading Plato

or

Borges

instead of me, also serves to give the reader a taste traditional contemplative, and show that despite all learned to leave aside my sources and came up here, but has scored and even visited several items of interest or even been inserted in the reading. The important thing is that the reader wanted to get on your way to this place text (perhaps even skipping paragraphs.) Anyway, without being this means a really organized text model as I propose, it is concentrated reading that would occur if we formed not unnecessarily distracting links, if we knew that some links are sources and other extensions, if we recognize that will get an order to review each other at various times, associated with this interest in discovering the secret of fragmented and digital concentration: therein lies the true multi-tasking focus. Many good blogs and surf at the balance and found themselves a port, a place for small trials hypermedia concise deep, well-informed and beautifully enriched with relevant links and surprising. If multitasking young people are educated to reach by twenty consultations about a specific material, they themselves will find the other threads to develop in their heads a new birth of communication. May feel the tapestry created by an author and even more complex tapestry that barely perceive today.

After all this, perhaps even happens to the reader as a friend of Nicholas Carr, who says he is no longer able to read

War and Peace

because he has lost that capacity. He actually has not lost a building, has lost a skill, the technique of reading and access to knowledge has been replaced by another. The issue is that while we may choose to educate traditional reading digital natives or give us tantalizing sirens of the network, the other option, you need to research and practice with some seriousness and intellectual and creative challenge, means that there is not a model or tool

ad hoc

-hiperedición a way, a place for fiction print-de

to respond to the new technique of reading in which we are all falling in awe, pleasure, terror, surprise and much forgetfulness.

How To Make A Homemadeeasy Coin Pusher

ITEM 4


do not understand why I get the email of the blog, which is also my web page, advertising type (this should be a footnote: I do not understand, and even here Madrid are talking about is how someone takes the trouble to go collecting e-mail addresses of the websites or blogs to announce the following):

"We are communicating the Mall The Trough Madrid and wanted to inform you that since 15 April, the center conducts various activities to celebrate the release of the latest Tim Burton film, Alice in of Wonderland.

You customizarte on set makeup and hair to feel like one of the protagonists, and also take a picture with your new look. Oh, and also there is a contest of characterization, with you can earn gift cards for purchases of the trough. "

costumizaros Would you join in Alicia or rabbit to the trough? Have you seen the movie by Tim Burton? I do not. Since September is not a cinema floor.





The day the book sent me Vallecas, a cultural center called The site of my pleasure in honor of Antonio Vega. This is a building covered by rusty panels, which the local people, as I said the bookstore, known as rust. I took a taxi, it was late, and by the road, crowning the village, I saw a bare hill I thought it had to be Uncle Pio. It is strange that piece of land with nothing (or nothing from the road), as if he had decreed to save a lot in place like a park. While Madrid are called parks to places that seem moors. Do I have an old idea, prepostpostmoderna, what is a park (= grass + trees)? For the record, I like these specimens, but because I suggest a comforting desolation.

The case: I got to humming the song Vallecas Antonio Vega, but then, when I left and got the oxidized a andar por el barrio, lo que sonaba en mi cabeza era  En blanco y negro , de Barricada. Y desde entonces no ha parado de sonar. Dice cosas como ésta:

Tengo tiempo para crecer



la ciudad parece distinta


durante horas puedo ser capaz


de emocionarme en estas calles


y andar inmortal


aprendiendo cada esquina.


I just want to be faster than them


spoil everything day after day


and a while after coming home knowing


before the sun I say it is day.


almost never know where I am


day I do not care or address


you wonder what the hell am I doing here


willing to seek fight if necessary.


I know that is a wild dance


combat frown


see everything in black and white, black and white.







What's black and white story comes as follows: David and Martha took me to visit the Eugenia San Nicasio, a suburb of Leganes. I write this and it is as if he had stopped singing the chorus of the song Barricada. A downturn. Well, that is the first thing you like to come into Leganés: a total slump. Vallecas has history, or something that vibrates in the street. Leganés history seems to have nothing to vibrate in the street, but to be the epitome of some sort of catastrophe small, everyday, invisible and unworthy of being counted.

The Eugenia is the mother of Martha, and lives in an apartment crammed with absolutely everything capable of fitting into a humble dwelling and decorate the store window as humble, a neighborhood within the neighborhood, all a hundred, Chinese, counter and shelves where you can no longer even dust is cleaned, bathed in golden frames that have lost the gold. The Eugenia was very handsome young man, now viejuna, and the upper gum remaining two teeth (my mother also would be two teeth if it was not official, my grandmother is not any: he had pyorrhea). The Eugenia is plump, her hair as if it had been under a hand dryer, and moved with haste to the kitchen to the living room. He tells me that her mother Marta likes to entertain, despite that she does not sit at the table. This is the first time I hear that "no seat at the table." I guess it's a habit that still persists in some rural areas. Days later I learned that not This is only a matter puertohurraqueño and ancestral: Nere's grandmother, who was a matron of Bilbao, also sat at the table (the grandfather Nere, who did sit at the table, now appears in the kitchen , or so say the Colombians who have rented the house). The Eugenia comes from a town near Talavera. Leganés arrived to late twenties, and a few months he met the father of Martha. Dog has had a life that I will not tell here, but I do not think she reads blogs. What I'm going to count is the feast that we gave thanks to his industry: inbound, bicho pinchadito olives on a stick and potato omelette and then rice with mushrooms and shrimp. For dessert, cheesecake (although I ate melon). Everything was great, Eugenia. And I'm glad that in the end, you sit at the table with us.

Marta arrived in the neighborhood of the Metrosur. The last time I took was in 2004. I remember because it was to introduce me to a competition which, thank God, I failed. San Nicasio has its season, I said M. before the train passed by half the neighborhood, and when she was a child playing near the track. Today all remains of what is this sign:






Boulevard spent on the old road is new and quiet, and your beds are full of flowers (as I write this I realize that it is the nicest thing I saw in Leganés, but not toured the area with thoroughness, but flâneur plan, which is always a dick so deep into the site .) David I said some buildings and I said that in the 70's and 80 could expect to live several families on a single floor, aluminum has done much damage in the urban landscape, that what characterizes Madrid and its surroundings is the profusion of labels. There are streets, he says, which is not otherwise. I would add: and air conditioning machines.








The Boys Town, which in the end it went, it seems the title of a novel Argentina, but it is a school for kids with problems who founded a guy I restless, they call Uncle Albert. Another benefactor of the town was Paquita Gallego, that worries me, and that apparently put a chair for the poor, why in the tour that bears his name stands the statue of poor eating a plate of beans (chickpeas, so I'm making this up). According to Wikipedia, is a San Nicasio neighborhood most traditional and most authentic Leganés. When one hears these words expect to find, at least, somewhat more than a century, but around here the most traditional is the development of Franco. From earliest times there are only a few shrines and the headquarters of Savoy, which has become the Universidad Carlos III. It also persists in being, or so it seems, under the house granite in which John of Austria was of extranjis.





Marta
What did while living in Leganes? I went to a bar called Iskariote. I went with her sisters on the track. He went to the town square and sat with her friends on a bench eating pipes and wait for one of the boys who sat on opposite banks asked him roll. I also remember what to ask for roll: in September, after returning to school, we told how we were asked during the summer roll, and also the times when we said yes, they were salted and flavored kisses shell pipes. I also remember the quiet of the clubs, which were only the heads of foreign cigarettes and illuminating paths describing briefly the face that was a drag.


I called attention to the clothes hanging in the windows






Or more precisely, I am struck by anyone taking the clothes, not a preteen spit in the panties that is going to be the grandmother. I was raised with that confidence that disgusting.

David and I were surprised that both Madrid and the belt are full of coastal buildings. I do not know if this is a perception that we were brought up by the sea, or whether the locals comment on how rare it is running into buildings as Leganes when you walk through Gandía or Benalmadena. The first time I had the impression of being in Torremolinos Madrid instead of going to the building was Santillana (this phenomenon occurs only after crossing the M-30). From the metro you have to climb a hill where ugly buildings, huge and surrounded by gardens suggest that the Mediterranean is just around the corner. Here's an example more modest, as befits Leganés:





says David: "The difference is that in Alicante today such a building would be empty." I do not ask why.

shown below some of the little things mentioned:


The horrible aluminum, of which David complains bitterly.




More clothes I shows that the trust does not have to suck.



A building walk Paquita Gallego.




proudly Graffiti neighborhood (which is a universal sign of a good result given what make a virtue of necessity.)



We finished the ride in the Feria de Abril de Leganés. We are already over and we are fearful of the hammer or the pirate ship. What fell was the wheel:







With so many laps then we did not dare to try the cocretas nor puntillitas. not listen to the Essence, who are these guys below the light.






Thank you, Martha and David. Thanks, Eugenia.

Powerpoint For Breakfast At Tiffany's

Read me a story today too! Readings sleeping webcam



A Story Before Bed is a U.S. service recently launched on the Internet in which, using a webcam and microphone, we read a story for any child that we are away for different reasons. The service is specifically targeted to grandparents, parents, children, soldiers and teachers to meet the distance mainly due to geographical distance caused by reasons of work or other variety. In the case of children and teachers, the creators of the site are invited to record their small own readings of the stories as a recreational activity and in the case of teachers, as a use for the students themselves can learn about themselves by analyzing a recorded reading. The process is free to browse any of the books, make a complete record, and only when we are convinced of the quality of the text and our recording, we pay for it to be saved and sent to the email address of the child who want to send. The child will receive a message and can view each page of the book while listening to the reading.

The books are part of the usual children's publishing market, and are actually digitized books which can happen virtually browse the pages and comfortable, with beautiful illustrations of high quality on a large screen.

The library is divided into classic shelves with a series of recommended books, and the option to sort by title, publisher, age-appropriate (1-3 years, 3-6 and 6-9) or length of the story (short, medium and extensive). There is a chance to see the different sections proposed by the creators of the site and undoubtedly somewhat sui generis in that mix in these generic criteria, thematic, and format (adventure stories, nonfiction, historical , machines and trains, large, other ...). The library has also has a simple form. The news are marked with the label "new" over navigation.

this proposal is interesting for several reasons: first, because it involves a family market in entering all those parents or grandparents who still want to tell their children stories at night, or give them that experience, in line pure oral tradition, and secondly, because it provides an integration of multimedia networks naturally in grass roots experience, to tell stories in the firelight as a socializing element. Third, because soon these stories, imitation of printed editions, will become greater interaction, which asked children themselves soon where browsing is the closest to navigate through various story elements. Fourth, it serves as an educational tool to improve speech or even serves as the family memory (at least mietras this company will last indefinitely and keep the recordings on which I have not seen any information.)

Without doubt, the worst aspect of the idea is that it implies a loss of direct communication (it is a recording, and this prevents asynchronous interaction with the child by the reciter of the story) with the child, which can not interrupt or ask questions, assuming a rather passive role of television viewers with a recorded message in the distance. As a technological breakthrough, achieved bridge the gap and virtually presented the reader and the book while , as a personal visual audiobook, but does not match the experience in some aspects where personal interaction is not possible. Probably, a parent with opportunities to read at night the child is connected to a video chat service and talk to the child directly. In contrast, with the service the child earns for himself the very reading of full-color book following the words read, the pages and pictures while listening to the voice of a loved reading it. Learn, have fun, listen and somewhat close relationships with, who can not see at that time. This can create your own collection of stories to fall back on different occasions, in an interesting example of nurture and build the child's digital childhood and memory. All this will encourage many families to use with some frequency. It is certainly a great personalized gift apart from other measurements in vivo non-virtual.

Indeed, they already have a English section , yes, only four books at the moment.
