Rafael Plácido Suárez has outlined in his blog the discovery of the Bosphorus interventions Agustin Garcia Calvo and Isabel Escudero on Saturday in Seville. And we should thank the effort it must have been two hours with a lot of substance.
Sevilla Agustin Garcia Calvo and
Rafael Suárez Plácido
Agustin Garcia Calvo will always be in Seville. It has never ceased to be here, but was expelled from his university in what was called yesterday "the last inquisition for heresy" of this city. The audience that filled the room, the strange but beautiful room of the Convent of Santa Clara, they testified yesterday. The reason: completing the cycle Dialogues with Machado opened the Cultural Center Santa Clara.
The event was presented by Francisco Díaz Velázquez . I've known him a few years ago. It is a good man, in the best sense of the word, good. It is also a student and friend of Augustine for over fifty years, as he recalled yesterday. The presentation was very interesting. We talked about the songs, tradition and modernity. He told us stories that only he can tell, because one has experienced, and their experiences with Augustine were certainly very interesting and enriching. The problem is that the act lasted just under two hours and about an hour left in the presentation. Spoke more than the other two participants, and most of us were there to hear one of them. Moreover, some of his words need some shades. Augustine said he did not have the impact it should because it is an awkward character. Here I give all the reason. But continued that "the right hates him," while this is not textual, the left will agree, but look the other way. And when the left said, referring to the left akin to the PSOE. Perhaps this is born the error. However, it is paradoxical to note that the last newspaper that for years has given its pages for his articles has been the reason. Not what I would call a left-wing newspaper.
continued the poet Isabel Escudero who showed his good work with a text that referred directly to the title of the season: a dialogue with Don Antonio Machado . He recited some poems so personal voice and bright. She is one of the voices that has many to continue the tradition of traditional oral poetry among poets today. A good example is never know, his latest collection of poems, published in Pre-text (2010).
His dialogue with the poet was also a heartfelt remembrance of his father, the memory of the girl who lived in Quintana de la Serena and how he met his first poem of Machado: "Children remember." He also left some interesting statements about the state of education system, which is the system we live in the present and also the future that awaits us: how children learn from the children what the rules are only thinking and correct. At the end of the act went on to say he did not understand that a leftist government, I think he said, "who calls the left" do not enter into their educational plans reading Juan de Mairena between students. This intervention, which at its root is so successful, was immediately refuted by Augustine, in the sense that they would not admit that the Ministries and Departments of Education fulfilled this function and, therefore, should not be respected. For him to ask why a Ministry of Education does not educate is to assume that they're for it, and that would respect them more than they deserve.
The third part of the act was Augustine's dialogue with the greatest of Machado. Most of the attendees had gone to witness first hand this time. Began distinguishing between the tributes or commemorations to bring to remembrance. Machado said that he has read poorly. However, he has been honored much and much has been written about him. In fact, he said, much has been written about literature. Much has been written and poorly on Literature.
In his recent book to date that makes one Things (Lucina, 2010), has a chapter called "Rhythm and Prosody" , which argued that poetry was born to be recited and sung. All this is reflected in his monumental Treaty rhythmic and metrical prosody and versification , also edited by Lucina. His dialogue with Machado was a practical example of this with the verses of the poet from Seville. Distinguish between the chants and song. Chants recited several poems he has worked with Machado. It is striving to return to the original meaning of the poetry to be recited in public, ignoring the rhythmic language and metrics.
also gave us an example, for us to hear in person the difference between the chants and songs, who worked on one of romance's most important twentieth-century English literature, yes, "The land of Alvar Gonzalez, who sang (he calls him ) until the time of the murder of the father. So you can say, he also said he did minstrel for the verses of Don Antonio Machado . Undoubtedly, it was the best tribute possible.
But in any event which involved Agustin Garcia Calvo is inevitable after a conference. "We have our voices heard enough, now we want to hear yours." Someone asked, I feel that with some bad intention and with great ingenuity, how to sing Manuel Machado. Augustine and Elizabeth answered that very well, of course I do, and recited some verses of the poet who had sung many times. It was also very interesting intervention of someone who related the chants with the recitation of Japanese haiku. I kept wanting to intervene, as I guess it happened to many attendees, but unfortunately there was no time for more. Next time. Agustín García Calvo always be in Seville.
