Celebrando la lectura en público

¿Qué he hecho yo para leer esto?

A punto de empezar, 11.55 del miércoles 3 de junio de 2015. Imagen tomada desde una de las ventanas de la Biblioteca de la Universidad de La Rioja.

A las doce en punto hemos empezado a leer en silencio pero con mucho sol, el emplazamiento próximo a la entrada principal de la BUR era estupendo pero caía un sol de justicia y además de leer nos hemos puesto morenos. La Biblioteca está estos días llena de alumnos estudiando para los exámenes.

Poco a poco se han ido sumando más personas. Logroño, 3 de junio de 2015.

Celebrando la lectura como un acto de participación social y un ejercicio simbólico de ciudadanía activa. Lemas de Mandarache.

En el Centro hemos colocado los libros recomendados por usuarios que no han podido acudir.

Con todas las fotos y el vídeo grabado la organización del Premio realizará un montaje.

Latin American Resentment

Alta Metralla

This post will discuss the issue of resentment in Latin America. It’s a very personal topic and a very controversial one, and I am sure that many people will disagree with my opinions.

After watching a documentary about Latin America in one of my classes here in Coimbra, this issue caught my attention and reminded me about the level of resentment against today’s “Spaniards” and the “white man” in Latin America. I don’t share this opinion and in fact I’m totally against it. It is a fact that the Latin American region was looted, financially exploited and enslaved for centuries and during that dark period whole civilisations were slaughtered; some of them were completely exterminated to the extent that we can’t even find a trace of them… This happened firstly as a result of European colonisation, but then after the region gained its independence its people were exploited by their…

¿Portuzuela or Venegal?

Alta Metralla

This post will give a very short summary about Portuguese immigration in Venezuela and will talk about my experience in Coimbra, Portugal and the links between the two countries; it’s about the place where I’m from and the place where I’m living at the moment.

First of all, it is very important to know that in Venezuela are living approximately more than half a million Portuguese, making Venezuela the home of the second biggest Portuguese diaspora in Latin America after Brazil and the fourth in the world.

The Portuguese immigration to Venezuela started during the process of colonisation, but the biggest wave of Portuguese immigrants took place during the 1950’s and onwards, when hundreds of Portuguese came to Venezuela, mainly escaping from hunger, fascism and unemployment of the Salazar’s regime Estado Novo. The majority of them came from the island of Madeira and a small group from Aveiro and Northern…

Venezuelan Spanish

Alta Metralla

This post will explain and give a short summary of how the Spanish language in Venezuela has been in contact with other languages, how it has changed and adopted neologisms and it will provide examples and analyse what is known as Venezuelan Spanish with new words and phrases due to the processes of immigration and globalisation that started during the conquest of the continent and then in the 20^th century.

First of all, it is important to know the extent to which has Venezuela been in contact with other languages and with the rest of the world. Venezuela since the times of the conquest has been exposed and in contact with the global world, mainly with Spain, some European nations and then the United States of America. Everything started at the beginning and middle of the 20^th century, when Venezuela was a prosperous country, with plenty of opportunities…
