Being the only child of a single mother, Sergio was raised by his maternal grandparents in a South Texas region better known as the Rio Grande Valley. This memoir details his upbringing as a poor migrant worker of Mexican descent having to pick crops for a living since the age of seven. As a way to break from the family cycle of picking crops and depending on government welfare programs, Sergio joined the United States Army and served ten years on active duty. He was deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina shortly after the Bosnian War only to find and deal with the aftermath of the genocide that took place there and be caught in the middle of several attacks. His experiences in Bosnia ultimately led to experiencing signs and symptoms related to PTSD. After completing ten years of military service, Sergio joined the U.S. Border Patrol. Being of Mexican descent and having family in South Texas and in Mexico gave way to new issues of having to counter threats against his family and ill-willed opinions of him for arresting and deporting "his own kind."

The Love Parade

The Love Parade

Sergio Pitol

Deep Vellum Publishing
2022
pokkari
Following the chance discovery of certain documents, a historian sets out to unravel the mystery of a murder committed in his childhood Mexico City home in the autumn of 1942. Mexico had just declared war on Germany, and its capital had recently become a colorful cauldron of the most unusual and colorful of the European ilk: German communists, Spanish republicans, Trotsky and his disciples, Balkan royalty, agents of the most varied secret services, opulent Jewish financiers, and more. As the historian-turned-detective begins his investigation, he introduces us to a rich and eccentric gallery of characters, the media of politics, the newly installed intelligentsia, and beyond. Identities are crossed, characters are confounded; Pitol constructs a novel that turns on mistaken identities, blurred memories, and conflicting interests, and whose protagonist is haunted by the ever-looming possibility of never uncovering the truth. At the same time a fast-paced detective investigation and an uproarious comedy of errors, this novel cemented Pitol’s place as one of Latin America’s most important twentieth-century authors. Winner of the Herralde Prize in 1984, The Love Parade is the first installment of what Pitol would later dub his Carnival Triptych. “This novel is not only the best that Pitol has written, but one of the best novels in Mexican literature.” —Sergio González Rodríguez, La Jornada “Sergio Pitol in the splendor of his mastery. A great novel.” —Florian Borchmeyer, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

Taming the Divine Heron

pokkari
The second novel in Pitol's Carnival trilogy following The Love Parade continues his daring, genre-melding, picaresque style.From the famous Mexican author, Sergio Pitol, comes his 1988 classic translated by George Henson. Taming the Divine Heron tells the semi-autobiographical story of a novelist working on his newest masterpiece. The protagonist struggles to tell the perfect story—his own imagined protagonists mere imitations of the likes of Lord Jim and Alyosha Karamazov. To help eradicate writer’s block, Pitol uses his vessel to praise his own favorite authors. Pitol applauds Bakhtin’s world building, Gogol’s “carnivalesque [literary] breath,” and Dante’s dizzying intensity. The character finds a muse in Marietta Karapetiz, whom he aptly dubs Dante C. de la Estrella, and the two debate the literary greats. As the pair attempts to pull from the techniques of the world’s best writers, Pitol creates a love letter to literature from around the globe while simultaneously telling his own magical story. To quote Pitol’s protagonist, “the quality of the story, its effects, its brilliance, its intensity, ma[k]e the most absurd circumstances plausible.” Taming The Divine Heron, second in a trilogy including already-published The Love Parade (Deep Vellum, 2022), houses history, hyperrealism, myth, folklore, and memoir; to read Pitol is to appreciate the power of language.

Language and Ethnicity among the K'ichee' Maya

Language and Ethnicity among the K'ichee' Maya

Sergio Romero

University of Utah Press,U.S.
2021
nidottu
This book explores the articulation between “accent” and ethnic identification in K’ichee’, a Mayan language spoken by more than one million people in the western highlands of Guatemala. Based on years of ethnographic work, it is the first anthropological examination of the social meaning of dialectal difference in any Mayan language. Romero deconstructs essentialist perspectives on ethnicity in Mesoamerica and argues that ethnic identification among the highland Maya is multiple and layered, the result of a diverse linguistic precipitate created by centuries of colonial resistance.In K’ichee’, dialect stereotypes—accents—act as linguistic markers embodying particular ethnic registers. K’ichee’ speakers use and recombine their linguistic repertoire—colloquial K’ichee’, traditional K’ichee’ discourse, colloquial Spanish, Standard Spanish, and language mixing—in strategic ways to mark status and authority and to revitalize their traditional culture. The book surveys literary genres such as lyric poetry, political graffiti, and radio broadcasts, which express new experiences of Mayan-ness and anticolonial resistance. It also takes a historical perspective in examining oral and written K’ichee’ discourses from the sixteenth to the twenty-first centuries, including the famous chronicle known as the Popol Vuh, and explores the unbreakable link between language, history, and culture in the Maya highlands.

Un viaggio in Birmania o Myanmar. Pagode, pagode, tante pagode splendenti di oro zecchino e tanti tanti monaci. Il 90% dei birmani ha compiuto almeno il noviziato fra i monaci che vivono di elemosina, ma sono una casta potente che - nel 2007 - ha osato contrapporsi alla feroce giunta militare.Una fragile e debole democrazia, in cui Aung San Suu Kyi cerca di camminare su quello che stato definito "lo stretto sentiero" fra la ancora potentissima casta militare che conserva buona parte del suo potere, il popolo Rohingya perseguitato e senza diritti e il popolo birmano che la adora, ma si dibatte in una antica e severa povert e arretratezza.E sta sorgendo, imponente, il pericolo del potente, ricco e immenso vicino, la Cina, che ha puntato gli occhi sul Myanmar per "comprarselo tutto".Un libretto dove ho riunito i ricordi di un viaggio, le cose viste, le riflessioni ed i pensieri che ti prendono, specialmente di notte sulla nuova realt dove sei e che ti sforzi di capire.Questo libretto non una guida, solo un insieme di ricordi e riflessioni che desidero condividere e che possono essere utili a chi c' stato per confrontarli con i propri e a chi non c' stato per avere un primo giro d'orizzonte su un paese cos lontano e cos diverso dal nostro modo di vivere e di pensare.Il lago Inle con le veloci speedboat, gli incontri con i monaci nei monasteri, con le scuole ed i bambini. Mandalay, la vecchia capitale, Bagan con le sue pagode. Yangon, la citt pi importante, ma che non pi la capitale.Ho inserito alcune delle mie fotografie per illustrare meglio quello che ho scritto. Il libretto disponibile sia nella versione Ebook, arricchita di numerosi link agli argomenti trattati che lo fanno diventare quasi un ipertesto, sia nella normale versione cartacea ove i link sono sostituiti da note a pi di pagina.

Dios dentro de mí

Dios dentro de mí

Hablar de acoso y de abuso fisico, psicologico y moral es mostrar una de las expresiones de la violencia humana en el mundo, desafortunadamente, a traves de la historia del mundo todo esto sigue sucediendo. A pesar de que el mundo avanza, la tecnologia despierta cada vez con mas herramientas para ayudar al planeta Tierra a modernizarse dia a dia. Lo unico que, al parecer, no avanza, es el cambio de conciencia o la elevacion de conciencia en los seres humanos, para dejar de hacer este tipo de acosos o de abusos en los seres mas vulnerables e inocentes del planeta Tierra.Recuerdo, desde nino, esa busqueda continua de Dios, como les explique, desde muy pequeno busque esa comunicacion directa con Dios, sin pensar en todo lo que tenia que enfrentar para poder darme cuenta y llegar a la conclusion que Dios esta dentro de mi. Tome la decision de escribir este libro, ya que cuando estaba en la cuspide, en los medios de comunicacion tanto radio, television y prensa, logrando un importante lugar como figura publica en la comunidad, la gente me hablaba y me atacaba de cierta forma, diciendome: "Es muy interesante la forma de hablar de usted, una forma bonita, positiva, realmente cuando habla nos damos cuenta, todos los que lo escuchamos, que en realidad nunca ha pasado por cosas dificiles, que en su vida nunca ha tenido carencias, que siempre se le ha dado todo con facilidad". Cada que escuchaba sus palabras se me venian a la mente todas las experiencias negativas que habia tenido en mi vida, y me decia a mi mismo: .Es simple solo darnos cuenta de que Dios es Yo y Yo soy Dios, ya que somos parte de su energia suprema, como una chispa divina.

They say that at the age of three he was already reading, and he was only thirteen years old when a newspaper published one of his poems, so they called him "the child poet." His work was innovative and gave rise to an international literary movement: Modernism. He is considered the most influential poet in the 20th century in the Spanish-speaking world.Dicen que a los tres a os ya le a, y ten a trece a os cuando un peri dico le public un poema, por eso lo llamaban "el poeta ni o".
