Book excerpt: Duerme usted, señor Presidente? es el poemario que ha sido catalogado como la obra cumbre del escritor venezolano Caupolicán Ovalles. El texto fue publicado por primera vez en Caracas en 1962, por las Ediciones del Techo de la Ballena, principal grupo artístico y literario de los movimientos de izquierda y vanguardia de la Venezuela de mediados del Siglo XX. En 1973 fue reeditado por el MÁS y en 2010 por la editorial Mondadori. Actualmente, se encuentra disponible en digital en la web de El Perro y la Rana, y se espera su nueva publicación de la mano de la Fundación Caupolicán Ovalles, con motivo del 65 aniversario del poemario. Punzante y libre de convencionalismos, este libro revela la mirada crítica de Ovalles ante las labores (o, más bien, ante el adormecimiento) de la dirigencia política de entonces, encabezada por el presidente Rómulo Betancourt. Se trata del primer libro de poesía de este autor, y se encuentra integrado por cuatro poemas en los que dos llevan el título homónimo del libro. Los otros fueron titulados Muy triste, muy triste y Si en vez de dormir. Los versos de ¿Duerme usted, señor Presidente?, con figuras poéticas que oscilan entre la mofa y el lirismo, pretendían desnudar desde la palabra las inconsistencias del gobierno de Betancourt, con una mirada que atravesaba el crisol del inconformismo de los grupos de la izquierda venezolana. Su escritura está también regida en términos estéticos por el desarrollo de la vanguardia literaria, que nació a nivel global en respuesta al agotamiento de los cánones formales.3 En el prólogo, el también escritor Adriano González León describió al ejemplar como «desusadamente adicto al desafío, aprovechando la materia hasta ahora denominada ‘no poética’, en un giro decididamente singular, porque existe una fatiga cuando se descubre la ineficiencia de la palabra tradicional, lo inoportuno del ejercicio culto, la triste invalidez de lo literario cuando ‘arrecia la enfermedad de vivir’».4 En ese sentido, continúa, «en el caso de Caupolicán Ovalles, además del cansancio verbal, existen otras razones de fastidio, demasiado concretas, demasiado evidentes en nuestra hora hasta para el ojo menos alerta, que lo arrastran al abandono de toda preocupación correcta y normal por el lenguaje». El escritor, docente e investigador de literatura Miguel Marcotrigiano asegura que en el libro «la figura del ‘presidente de la república’ (así, en minúscula) aparece caracterizada en este poema como inconsciente, minimizada en su masculinidad, ignorante de la realidad, con aires de grandeza, demagógica y se le endilgan pecados como la gula, la soberbia, la avaricia y algunos más». Además, el autor concreta «Si entendemos por un clásico de la literatura la capacidad de trascender en el tiempo y espacio de un tiempo literario y la cualidad consistente en la adaptación a circunstancias similares, aún cuando ya no estén activas los contexto de origen, este poema, ¿Duerme usted, señor Presidente?, de Caupolicán Ovalles, constituye en cierto modo este concepto».
Download or read book Alfredo Boulton and His Contemporaries written by Ariel Jiménez and published by The Museum of Modern Art. This book was released on 2008 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfredo Boulton (1908-1995) was Venezuela's foremost cultural and aesthetic observer of the 20th century. An art critic, cultural historian and photographer, he was highly influential in the development of modernist art and discourse, and of cultural self-definition, in Venezuela and the surrounding region. Boulton's diverse contributions serve as a point of departure in this remarkable selection of art-historical and critical texts by many of the prominent Latin American thinkers of this period, figures whose works and ideas helped to shape the face of contemporary Venezuela. Through the manifestos, correspondences and critical writings of these notable voices of the day, this anthology traces Venezuela's struggle toward modernity and toward a successful, autonomous identify on the international cultural scene. In addition to historical writings, the volume includes newly written critical and explanatory essays by contemporary scholars, providing context and insight to these significant texts that have become constant reference points for generations of artists, critics and art historians.
Download or read book El Techo de la Ballena written by María C. Gaztambide and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2018-12-19 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of the 1960s Caracas-based art collective El Techo de la Ballena (The Roof of the Whale) was called “subversive” and “art terrorism” and seen as a threat to Venezuela’s national image as an emerging industrial power. This volume details the historical and social contexts that shaped the collective, exploring how its anti-art aesthetic highlighted the shortcomings of the country’s newfound oil wealth and transition to democracy. Every element used by these radicalized artists in their avant-garde exhibitions—from Informalist canvases to torn book pages and kitsch objects to cattle carcasses and scatological content—issued a critique of Venezuela’s petroleum-driven capitalism and the profound inequality left in its wake. Embracing chaos, the artists contradicted the country’s politically sanctioned view of modernity, which championed constant progress in the visual arts and favored geometric abstraction and kinetic art. El Techo’s was a backward—a retrograde—modernity, argues María Gaztambide, discussing how its artists turned against the norm by incorporating anachronistic postures, primeval symbols, colonial Latin American print culture, and “guerilla” art tactics. Artists in this group tested limits to provoke what they saw as a numbed local public through shocking displays of criticism and frustration. Today, as Venezuela undergoes another dramatic series of sociopolitical changes, El Techo de la Ballena serves as a reminder of the power of art in resisting the status quo and effecting change in society.

Download or read book New Geographies of Abstract Art in Postwar Latin America written by Mariola V. Alvarez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-27 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume examines the history of abstract art across Latin America after 1945. This form of art grew in popularity across the Americas in the postwar period, often serving to affirm a sense of being modern and the right of Latin America to assume the leading role Europe had played before World War II. Latin American artists practiced gestural and geometric abstraction, though the history of art has favored the latter. Recent scholarship, for instance, has focused on geometric abstraction from Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela. The book aims to expand the map and consider this phenomenon as it developed in neglected regions such as Central America and the Andes, investigatinghow this style came to stand in for Latin American contemporary art.

Presented in a systematic and highly entertaining fashion, twelve lessons cover some of the most commonly encountered situations. These include the family clinic, the emergency room, appendicitis, the social chat, pregnancy, family planning, pelvic inflammatory disease and urinary tract infection, depression, children with asthma, patients with angina, explaining a venipuncture and a spinal tap, and patients with shortness of breath. Each lesson closes with a bilingual interview that includes vocabulary and grammar introduced in that lesson. A guide to the medical history and physical examination appears in English and Spanish in the appendix. Excellent in the classroom or for independent learning, the Manual will enable health care providers better to understand and supply the needs of Spanish-speaking patients.
