The fat women, the fat men, the fat men and the diversities inhabit the planet and in books, theater and other expressions of culture. Today, having just arrived in New York, I review the brand new news of a possible library, which includes all genres and living beings
Those books that I haven’t read yet are in my email, on IG, in messages, on Facebook, on different platforms. Meanwhile, I can’t stop being dazzled by how different Manhattan is since the last time I was there. The thing is that the pandemic and the economic crisis also attacked the heart of the Western empire.
What will fatphobia be like today here, in the Big Apple? Perhaps a bite, a binge? Will it be the same as in Buenos Aires or does each city, each landscape in the world, have its own particularities? I lean towards this idea, I feel it. What about other segregations?
For now, I know that in this country where I have just arrived there are more Latin Americans than in many of LATAM, although in this city everything is very cosmopolitan.
At least that’s how I see it, as the Mariano-Bernardo duo said in their refined Argentine. I prefer to write it in the language of the São Paulo Narcissus who found ugly what was not mirror (I’m Caetaneando).
But, back to Broadway. How much theater there is to see, what diversity, what affinities and differences with Buenos Aires, another multi-scenic city!
We eat what we aretitles Rocio Hernandez his nutriloco book about the food that changes the world, an essay with conscience, ethics and love that was presented last Tuesday in a conversation with Soledad Barruti. Also Enzo Maqueira dives into the nuances that transform men into perpetrators, but at the same time into victims, in their brand new Sexual hygiene for the single. There are those who do not perceive the different shades of gray. It doesn’t seem to be either black or white, although in these times of extreme right, the single truth prevails.
I think there are small truths that Power does not like. I also believe in Power as a microphysics, although not with the skeptical vision of the French philosopher, but with that of collective desire.
What is a man, Maqueira asks, and it reminds me of if this is a Manof Primo Levi. However, the Argentine writer and journalist tells us that his protagonist, Junior, struggles to free himself from the conditions of the heteropatriarchal cis society and in the novel, which also gives an account of reality (although it is not its mechanical reflection), he is It removes the veil from masculinity as a situated construction and places closed categories of the masculine between question marks.
Beauty and the Beast, The Miserables, A Strange Loop (best musical award 2022) and so many musical comedies lighting up the marquees of Broadway. Can’t wait to see the story that had won a Pulitzer, about the black and gay theater artist he faces, as he wrote in The New York Times Michael Paulsonself-doubt and social disapproval.
I try to listen to young people, I observe them, I learn. What a debt of gratitude for the queer deconstruction of hegemonic corporality. The same with the native peoples, from here, from there, from everywhere and with a loose and inclusive language.
Tongue, tongue, tongue, returned to the Sala Batato Barea, in Rojas, where Edda and Rosetta, two witches disguised as novices, are on a mission to save Alba, a baker whom they want to burn at the stake. A comedy, like artistic art at other times, chooses drama or tragedy, verse, prose or verse. Alvesrre“which is not the same, but it is the same,” sings Silvio.
I am from that batatera generation. That of Barea and that of the song of the queen by María Elena. From the 60s and 70s, childhood. I think it’s cool to take the best of each person. Make friends with your own journey, the one you could and the one you want, the one that includes, the one that was embarrassing and hidden, the clandestine one, the one that should no longer be covered.
