At this point it makes sense to relate the differences between magazines and Myth Chronicle the sterile and obsolete "battle" between cops and coast? .
Gilard Jacques was a scholar of Gabo and is paid the valuable material unearthed in libraries, but at this stage it is impossible to consider a essayist or critic weight. For the sample, the folly of considering Myth Bogota magazine and centralist. Let's start by saying that its founder and owner, Jorge Gaitán Durán , was as Bogota or Gilard as Gabo, as far as one knows Pamplona is not in the center of Cundinamarca. Nor Hernando Valencia were Goelkel Bogota (Santander), Pedro Gómez Valderrama (idem) or Eduardo Cote Lamus (Norte de Santander), the original members of the writing. As to the alleged closure theme Myth, just take a look at their rates to know that Bogota and centralism did not even worried.
Myth was a wonderful magazine, Cosmopolitan and the forerunner of others that came later, including that the reader has in his hands. In the inaugural issue was published the first translation into English of extraordinary text of Sade, Dialogue between a Priest and a Dying Man " , the same that inspired his radical variation Buñuel (... continued on page 101)
.
tion of Nazario de Pérez Galdós. Mito also released in Colombia to Octavio Paz, Borges, Carlos Fuentes, Martha Lock, Julio Cortázar, Dylan Thomas, Carlos Drummond de Andrade and Martin Heidegger (among others), when no one here knew who they were.
breaking In this paper I have a memory that might seem encouraging, but I find it depressing. Is a memory that goes back to a July night in 1955 when the poet Jorge Gaitán Durán came into my room asking me Bogotá let him something to publish in the journal Myth. I had to check my papers, had surely those who thought worth preserving and had broken the homeless.
Gaitán Durán, with that insatiable greed which was to literature, and especially about the possibility of discovering hidden values, began to review the basket of torn paper and suddenly found something that caught his attention . "But this is very public 'he said. I explained to him why he had thrown away: it was an entire chapter was removed from my first novel, Leaf Storm , and published at the time, and could not have another destination honest than the trash basket. Gaitán Durán disagreed. It seemed that actually had leftover text within the novel but had a different value for yourself. More by trying to please than to be convinced otherwise authorized to mend the torn pieces with tape and publish the chapter like a story. "What title would you put it?" He asked, using a plural rarely been so just as in that case. "I do not know," he said. "Because that's not just a monologue of Isabel Watching it rain in Macondo."
Gaitán Durán wrote at the top of the first page about the same time I was saying: "Monologue of Isabel Watching it rain in Macondo" . So recovered from the trash one of my stories that has received enormous critical acclaim and, above all, the readers. However, that experience helped me not not keep breaking the originals do not seem publishable, but it taught me that you need to break so that they can not patch ever. "
Now what already seems like a joke to suggest that The Spectator and Eduardo Zalamea Borda, the discoverers 'authentic' as Gilard Gabo, were somewhat different from Bogota. Yes, the newspaper was born in Medellín in the nineteenth century, but in the fifties had some four decades of capital to the core, while Bogota Zalamea Borda was the Chorro de Quevedo.
Chronicle, the supposed contenders Mito, was a valuable publication, but exerted much less influence than Gaitán Durán magazine for the simple reason that never circulated beyond Barranquilla and vicinity. And speaking of this old former bookseller who has never seen a complete collection of Chronicle. In contrast, Mito was collected from the time and is perhaps the most important cultural magazine that has occurred in Colombia. As they say: Petite différence , messieurs Gilard, Rodriguez, et Samper.
sensible reader will now puts into question the importance of García Márquez in the world literature, to say nothing of the Colombian. What you can not do is force him to be a kind of embodiment Colombia Costa contentious, because for better or worse Gabo is an individual, not a region or a people.
As regards Myth, I often say that one of the reasons that have never emerged a sophisticated and cosmopolitan left Colombia was the premature death of Jorge Gaitán Durán on June 22, 1962 on the fateful flight that crashed landing in Pointe-a-Pitre. Myth sunk by financial strangulation after the death of its founder, came the ELN, FARC and Camilo Torres, and the national Left lost perhaps the last chance he had of not referring to sectarianism and warmongering, this destructive duality that still does not stop after nearly fifty years.

The Colombian coast and the interior has always had little wars to wage: the exploitation of slaves from exploitation of the Indians ... immigration versus the preservation of the core demographic ... baseball front shuffleboard ... samarium neighborhood football Pescaíto against the Olaya, Bogota ... cumbia against bambuco ... the familiarity against you ... the fish stew in front of the melting pot or tray paisa ... heat from the cold ... the seas off the mountain ... the hammock in front of the desk ... the palm facing the sietecueros ... Veal Pilar Fernanda del Carpio against ...
occasionally arises in Barranquilla the impetus to create an independent republic from the tip of La Guajira to the border with Panama. But soon the momentum stops, when barranquilleros realize that if there is emancipation, they are the cops of the new republic.
The last war stories just exploded. It is whether the contemporary literature was born in Bogotá Colombia around magazine Myth, as claimed by the cops, or in Barranquilla around Chronicle magazine. recently appeared two books that throw gasoline on the fire: on the one hand, pens and brushes (I and II), a collection of texts on these topics published by the University of Bergamo (Italy) under the care of Professor Fabio Rodríguez Colombia Amaya. Furthermore, chronic (Ediciones Uninorte, Ferro Jesus edition), a collection of items salvaged from the short-lived magazine that gave birth For 60 years the Barranquilla Group, bohemian friends that rope to which they belonged, among others, Gabriel García Márquez, Álvaro Cepeda Samudio, Germain Vargas, Alejandro Obregon and Alfonso Fuenmayor.
.
United, the two works affirm the primacy of the intellectual in modern Colombia coast and there lie the origins of the Latin American boom, the most important literary phenomena of the twentieth century novel in English. The funny thing is that the champions of the battle are anticachaca coast and one not even in Colombia. This is the quoted Jacques Rodríguez Amaya and Gilard, French critic and researcher died exactly two years ago, in November 2008, without being even in Colombia has surrendered the homage it deserves. They
warships captain acknowledged that, far from the large audience but at the heart of the Intelligenz, this time attacking the coast inland.
The two captains
Let's start with Rodriguez Amaya, born in Bogotá in 1950, graduated in Arts at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogota, and a doctorate in philosophy and letters at the University of Bologna (Italy). Painter, printmaker, writer and lecturer, is professor of American literature at the University of Bergamo. He has participated in numerous exhibitions and published hundreds of articles and a dozen books. The latest is the feathers and brushes, which contains studies on literature and art in the Colombian Caribbean midway through the twentieth century. They collaborated intensely Gilard during his last months of life.
As French professor, was born in a rural teacher's home in 1943. Castilian fan, influenced by his grandfather, she majored in English literature from the Golden Age when the military service in 1968, spent a few days of convalescence and discovered a novel family that had left a few months ago: One Hundred Years of Solitude . It was his way to Damascus. She read it overnight full non-stop and at the end he knew his life had changed: Instead of Spain, became interested in this country that floated Macondo.

Gilard made four trips to Colombia between 1978 and 1982. In each of them spoke with members from Barranquilla, plunged into its archives, visited the places where they met, he heard music they liked and took the shot they took. That was how he became a student of vallenato, and party animal Corroncho apprentice.
"met and made friends with Germain Vargas, Fuenmayor, Enique Grau, Oregon and García Márquez," says Rodriguez Amaya. Tita GGM Manotas introduced him to the widow of Álvaro Cepeda Samudio, who died in 1972 - and she spoke of the Chronicle, a Sunday magazine "literary and sports" that circulated with The Herald in 1950 and 1951, whose sentence was fighting " His best week-end. " Tita itself connected to have access to the archive of the newspaper.
"There he devoted himself to read and take notes on the texts," recalls Tita, and did it with such concentration that was locked in the newspaper building for the three holy days. Outside, the city was in full carnival.. When he left, under his arm all the papers of the Chronicle.
A Frenchman in the Sandy
Since that trip in 1978 Gilard was captivated by the coast and became a more coastal. I could say that was the last member of the Barranquilla Group, one of the most militant in his love for the coast and its values, and one of the most aggressive in their dislike of the classical values \u200b\u200band interior officials, as we shall see.
During
following continued research in archives and libraries in two continents. In the house of the late Catalan scholar Ramón Vinyes found a trove of letters and documents. "The sheer number and variety of materials recovered in dungeons and attics become mountains of paper in the library of his house and give Cugnaux string for writing the six volumes of his doctoral dissertation about García Márquez and the Group of Barranquilla" says Rodriguez Amaya, perhaps his closest friend and collaborator. "He was shy, apprehensive, do not hit anyone, inveterate cultivator of good food and the best drinks, had the gift of a memory was given iron and spicy jokes at the end of the evening, become toned troubadour.
After decades of diving, "Occitan sad" as he called Rodriguez Amaya, had completed one of the most comprehensive work of cataloging, text retrieval and analysis of Gabo and his friends. To him we owe , among others, the collection of García Márquez columnist and numerous essays on Colombian authors that were published in journals. "Since 1982, never physically return these lejuras" says Rodríguez Amaya-but for 30 years he devoted his best his writers and artists. "
In early 2008, doctors discovered a cancer. Gilard then worked in a review of the text on the Group and in the selection of Chronicle items. At death, Tita was in charge of promoting the publication of the articles of Sunday, just out in Barranquilla with a foreword by Jesus Ferro. Regarding the final version of the essay on the group, Rodriguez, who worked with him in tandem, include it in feathers and brushes. There
it appears the revised version of his essay "To demystify Myth ', which was published in the University of Antioquia in 2005 and discussed, refined and delivered specifically to the same book. From there Gilard shoot larger caliber pellets against writers, poets and critics Bogota.
Myth Myth
Gilard's basic thesis, which Rodriguez "does not disagree on one line" is that cultural and political centralism drowned Colombia, politics, history and culture . We would also hold members of the Group of Barranquilla. "The centralization of the country and the persistence of a culture of chapels, framed it in a persistent right-wing ideology liberals, comes to distort memory processes," says Gilard.
adds that, with few exceptions, such as Jorge Zalamea, with its magazine Critic, Eduardo Zalamea Borda with his novel Four years on board of myself and some more-Bogota intellectuals are "spoiled by the ruling class" who embody El Tiempo, the Most Holy and everything revolves around them. The "watchdog" of the intellectual elite is cachaca Arciniegas Germain, who is accused of having prevented the timely known authors such as Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares: "readings were Colombians and a delay of ten years." Arciniegas's heir, as the French, is Juan Gustavo Cobo-Borda, "official intellectual" dedicated to making the writers of its orbit "in statues of national heroes."
The literary landscape is floating in Bogotá to Gilard rhetorical official anachronistic and self-indulgent. But in the mid-twentieth century think of something: new trends begin to appear, new names, new life, new issues, new influences in Colombian letters.
Why should this wind of renewal? The answer to question war breaks out of magazines.
's because cops coastal and attribute it to different agents. Bogotá believes that this revolution must Myth, publication founded by Hernando Valencia and Jorge Gaitán Durán Goelkel in 1955. Myth circulated bimonthly until mid-1962, published 42 issues and exerted important influence in a country that had just experienced two dictatorships and Violence: a conservative and other military. Friends not just Myth credited with having opened the windows of the closed national culture, but having discovered and launched several new writers like Garcia Marquez, Cepeda Samudio and poet Alvaro Mutis.
Chronicle Chronicle
But the story that this coast Gilard mouth, is completely different. Barranquilla was the group with chronic organ ("the best literary magazine that has been Colombia") that hit the sheets, imported, new ways of storytelling U.S., fused journalism and fiction, brought a healthy dose of humor against the solemnity tricolor and restated the "aesthetic ideology," even when Gilard argues that "the group would have rejected this word sarcastically."
The goal is to "demystify a myth" and the French critic does not fire with cotton. Here are some of his shots:
"Myth is only one time within a process and not necessarily the most dignified moment" ... "The Journal of Gaitán Durán not opened anything" ... "In everything that is related to Myth is possible to notice an almost hyperbolic constant effort to conceal the true ending of the Colombian process" ... There is a thread "that gives more personality Myth of which had [] and the author of everything good that was done in the Colombian literature for several decades" ... "It is unfair Myth the idea that marked a 'division' "..." The magazine was a further sign of Colombian centralism "..." The intellectuals linked to the ruling class without qualification proposed an exaltation to the message of Myth "..." It was not to be a literary magazine without greater influence in their society, except for charges safe [...] reached some members of the team. "
thing that irritates proponents of Barranquilla genesis of the national literary revolution is Bogotá try to crown court Myth as discoverer and patron of talent that had emerged in Barranquilla and Cartagena.
Gilard Garcia Marquez said, "was discovered in 1947, eight years before appearing Mito, when Eduardo Zalamea Borda about his short stories published in El Espectador. The founders of the magazine did not show "even once in no less than eight years his interest in these stories." The first text was published GGM Myth Monologue of Isabel Watching it rain in Macondo, which was known from five years earlier. As Cepeda, "is annexed to Mito in distracted way, as the novel fragments of the large house which included the magazine had seen the light earlier in the Caribbean Journal. And Hector Rojas Herazo, called "poet of Myth", was known for his book Face in the desert since 1952.
In sum, "García Márquez was before Mito and regardless of Myth "and is misleading to include it in the magazine group. The same is true with other writers at some point barranquilleros published in Mito. The national literary revolution of the twentieth century starts in the Avenida Jimenez but in the cave.
That's what it says Jacques Gilard post mortem with the support of Fabio Rodriguez Amaya to declare a new war on the cops, war journals.
The last? Probably not.
