Is The Megalodon Real

The Magnolia of Luis Cernuda

The project was to put a Luis Cernuda overlooking a sculpture balcony of the Plaza de Molviedro .
What seem suitable sites being considered, including the Plaza de Molviedro ?
I find it all, but I think Luis Cernuda already has a monument in Seville . A monument and
?
Yes, a Agnoli M . The M Agnoli monumental in the corner of the Cathedral, opposite the Post Office, is the best monument that can devote Sevilla Luis Cernuda . Every time I pass I remember there's "Sunset on the Cathedral ." Why
a Agnoli M ?
do not you read " Ocnos ? Has not read "The reality and desire"?
For when these books will find the symbolic meaning of M Agnoli Luis Cernuda . Luis Cernuda always evoked Sevilla in the shade of a Agnoli M in bloom ...
Those who have read Cernuda in Sevilla fit in a minibus . While not remedy the ignorance of his work, a centenary (Sevilla, September 21, 1902 - Mexico City, 5 November 1963) will just contribute to the saturation of the topics, that if the eternal Sevilla made life impossible, if not forgiven their free sexual orientation ... True Cernuda left Sevilla. But if he were now here in seeing the Cernudian hand, would turn to go. I fear that the centenary will for many to make the picture next to Cernuda, but not really know his work over the yolks Seville San Leandro that the shops of silversmiths Pan Square mediocrity Given the coordinates of the cultural landscape, the only solution I see is that Joan Manuel Serrat burn a disc, putting music to poems Cernuda. A Antonio Machado at least I know through Serrat.

Observatory on Media and Culture (Note 2)


By Octavio Getino

observatories in the field of culture and communication, there are thousands of them in the world, each with their particular approaches and modes of financing, operation and working methods. Without going any further, the very Organization of American States drew up a draft Inter-American Observatory of Cultural Policies and more than once national cultural leaders in Latin American countries agreed on the possibility of creating a Latin American Cultural Centre.
From these concerns, and with the approval of the governments of the region, ministers and officials of Latin American culture, have been launched, with varying degrees of commitment and clarity, cultural information systems.

This occurs for a couple of years in Argentina, just as exists in the Ministry of Culture of the National Cultural Information System of Argentina (SINC) (www.cultura.gov.ar / sync) and a Laboratory of Cultural Industries. The city government-from four years ago, there is a Cultural Industries Observatory, which we had to design and coordinate between 2004 and 2007 (www.buenosaires.gov.ar / observatory). A similar concern expressed by the Cultural Institute of the Province of Buenos Aires and other provinces, and there are universities and colleges have their own observatories, including the University of Cordoba School of Economic Sciences of Buenos Aires. There are also social organizations, such as UTPBA, \u200b\u200brepresenting journalists in the city of Buenos Aires.

They have different levels of development and evolution. Many are linked to universities, like University of San Paulo in Brazil, the Javeriana in Colombia, the Republic of Uruguay or the Project Media Monitoring in Ecuador. Other initiatives have arisen from media professionals or organizations such as the two Dereitos News Agency gives (ANDI / Brazil), dedicated to address the issue of the rights of children and young people in the media or citizen revision of Social Communication of Peru, and international initiatives as the Global Media Monitoring of Venezuela, associated with the International Media Centre (Media Watch Global).

is estimated that globally between 1000 and 1500, the number of observatories dedicated to culture and the media. As King notes Germain, Javeriana University and a member of the National Science Colombia: "focalizations Observatories have specific themes or lines of action. While some insist on rights of children and young people, others emphasize the role of media in the representation of internal conflicts, while a preliminary deal with the relationship between information and choice, others are concerned about human rights, privacy or the configuration of the otherness. There are observatories that seek to influence the creation of laws much more modern and democratic media news and information, while others try to keep under review the information provided by the media at a particularly turbulent political history, social and communicative country. All these issues are nevertheless common dimensions: recognition the importance of communication for democracy, the need to strengthen the public's right to information, the insistence on the demands from the public are made to the means for citizens to become increasingly autonomous, the urge to participate in building public agendas as well as the democratization of communications. "

The importance of this work worldwide, but local application-which is always observed a reduction of a context defined as a field of study, was shown in subsequent meetings, some regional, convened by bodies intergovernmental and other broader, as was done in San Sebastian, Spain, in November 2007, International Conference calls with the Observatories of Culture.

In France, Germany and Spain there are agencies created by the State that are independent of management (always contingent) of government, they observe the functioning of the media (state or private management) with the preservation of diversity and plurality of those making that observation. Perhaps the European monitoring most closely resembles the American is French Media Observatory, also created from the World Social Forum officially emerged on January 2003 in Paris. Global Connect to Media Watch is to "protect society against abuses and manipulations "and" defend the information as a public good and claim the right of citizens to be informed. " Another observation that makes a remarkable work is the EITO (European Monitoring Centre for Television and Children) located in Barcelona.

A survey conducted by Luis Albornoz, Carlos III University of Madrid and Michael Herschmann, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in 2007 identified a total of approximately 55 observatories of cultural, political, cultural and media space Latin American (now it would be possible to identify about 150 observatories in the region). About half of them belonged to Spain that year, a dozen in Brazil, and four in each of the countries of Argentina, Colombia and Uruguay. It also knew the experience of other systems and media watchdogs in Peru, El Salvador, Venezuela and other countries in the region. Some of them financed by international foundations such as Ford, in Brazil, and other by powerful private enterprises, such as Brazil's Banco Itau (Itau Cultural Centre), a project which initially participate as a consultant and tended to cover a huge gap in information on the Brazilian cultural space. Others rely on agencies government, as above mentioned, and are therefore subject to political contingencies and unpredictable and repeated changes of staff. There are also mixed.

The criteria governing the clearance of these observatories, is to highlight and systematize quantitative and qualitative information on cultural resources and social media in each country or locality, either with mapping, survey and production data statistics or surveys bounded to certain topics, so they are processed and put into service in the community. The starting point is the unquestioned assertion that there is no policy-making process de decisiones, de carácter público o privado, que puedan ser confiables y sustentables sin tomar en cuenta una masa de información fidedigna y actualizada.

Un elemento predominante en muchas de estas experiencias, es la concentración en los estudios meramente cuantitativos –estadísticas, incidencia económica, cuentas satélites de cultura, etc.- aunque, a veces también esto se complementa con cierta orientación hacia el análisis de la dimensión cualitativa. Es decir, los contenidos simbólicos que son el soporte motriz y la esencia misma de las industrias culturales y los medios de comunicación, y sobre cómo ellos inciden no ya en la economía, la balanza comercial o el empleo, but in the formation of citizenship.

This topic was the subject of an international workshop in mid-2007 in Bogota, when the city's cultural authorities summoned experts from the Andean countries to exchange experiences in the design of cultural indicators to measure, not only the supply and demand for cultural activities or services or media-popular shows, television programs, music shows, events, tourist, sports, etc. .- but, in particular, the social impact that these policies, strategies and actions have in reducing violence, war on drugs, social inclusion, training citizen, the values \u200b\u200bof solidarity, etc. For those who were invited to participate in this meeting, this approach had an importance and a much more complex than the simple-but-necessary quantitative data collection (to which most of the companies also resist, because if the information is power, is to democratize the same with the power itself, a goal that does not match the sectoral interests of big business and media communication).

Observatory on Media and Culture: threatening or phantom power tools democratic? (Note 1)


By Octavio Getino

A new ghost appears to go, if not everyone, at least the interests of powerful media groups in Latin America. Simultaneous and coordinated large multimedia companies from different countries of the region, precisely those where projects have begun to settle political change, such as Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia and Nicaragua, wield a kind of "cacerolazo" more or less synchronized the ghost of "observatories" that insinuated by some governments to monitor what so far are sectored-exclusive territories and exclusive-of powerful economic and financial groups, local and international.

This topic, like many others, is not difficult to see the manipulation of information by the mainstream media-which includes a network of communications specialists and numerous well-known journalists, leading media to try to oust any attempt to come from the state or society itself, to observe in terms of social status as a sector the media, owners of communication systems-both cultural and educational-more powerful than those that manage their own states to information and democratic citizenship education.

media represent portions of reality. As stated Martín Becerra, National University of Quilmes, "which appears in them and what is omitted (by criteria of newsworthiness always fallible) built himself a part of agenda that installs a few items and set values, to the detriment of others. Media coverage of the field of conflict proved once again that the approach to reality is never fair, that the selection of sources and the testimony there is a tendency, and can erode the position of some actors to promote public image of others. You need to talk about it. It is illogical that in a democracy we can talk about everything except the media. " (The Nation, 12/4/2008)

Every society needs reliable information systems, enabling observatories a better development of individuals, social groups, and public and private companies, and all the actors associated with the transformation, ie the overall improvement of society itself. This explains the existence of National Research Councils, Institutes of Statistics, National Meteorological Services, National Systems of Cultural Consumption, Cultural and Information Systems as part of these and other instruments to learn more and better define the context where our existence, National Observatory, provincial, or local to gather and process information of a different character (cultural policy, economics, women, children, cultural industries, management, discrimination, etc.).. Indeed, in the context of global multi-media expansion, the state not only can but is required to analyze, monitor, and regulate the circulation of content in a scientifically-measurable-that make the health of the population, like pharmaceuticals and foodstuffs. No one would ever leave these tangible products only in the hands of powerful business groups that produce and distribute, with no controls of any kind, under the pretext of guaranteeing a supposed "free enterprise." The most basic common sense cautions that these groups, more that health and healthy eating in a community, care about the amount of profits to be submitted annually to its shareholders or mutual funds on which they depend.

The problem appears when trying to break into the contents intangible, more difficult to assess than the purely material, but which affect the information, education and culture of the population, ie the foundation of public health with much or more power, for better or for worse, that is food or physical health. This field seems to be banned in almost absolute terms to any person or government sector and the pretext is the so called "freedom Press "that as more than once said, only serves those who have the power to exercise, ie big business.
However, press freedom is a social good that is intended is a constitutional guarantee for the whole society, is in order to preserve the collective good, that it protects the various forms of censorship, direct or indirect , which may have on journalists and media.

us agree that censorship is not only the political or ideological character that can come from the state, but large financial corporations are now the de facto power groups that have a capacity higher than that for defining what information must circulate in society or omitted, and how they will be targeted, as appropriate or not their interests, at least in the media that they directly control, such as shareholders, or indirectly, as an advertiser.

"is a company Techint Argentina? (Note 2)


By Cynthia V. Lana

"Everything comes to rest in the supply of the Americas is in the hands of a dozen parent of Cadiz and another dozen in London and New York. This monopoly is the worst, most vile and limited. The consequence is that Americans are compelled to buy at huge all what they want to sell. And of course buy the wealthy. And this just encourages agriculture and manufacturing, which are the national wealth of every country. "

Bernardo de Monteagudo (" The Censor ", December 18, 1812).


According to the classical definition John Kenneth Galbraith, the benefit of transnational corporations consists of two fundamental characteristics: the use of the asymmetries between the country of origin and host countries of the filing of capital and the expansion of its financial sector.

To this, "said Galbraith in 1967 - firms should be placed first in competition at the national level, because success in this space depends on its expansionism.

currently operating the scheme has changed in some respects. As pointed out by Samir Amin, "U.S. multinationals and was formerly a U.S. state, transnational and British state British, French and a state transnational French-Belgian multinational smaller, and a Belgian state. However, today there are simply transnational, while there is no state that integrates them. "

assimilation between the political and economic, that characterized the dominant powers global market since the emergence of imperialism, lives its period of historic extinction. Today no one can speak of imperialism as an integrated process, but of imperialism, ie dominant transnational capitalist centers in a state of conflict, in which nation states, yet the central countries play a subordinate role.

Dissemination and policy instruments

however, has not gone the need for a common economic management of the global market by multinationals. The difference with the recent past is that there is no centralized political instrument to carry it out. The G7 and other attempts like that have not been particularly successful.

Here again, we turn to the incomparable definition of Samir Amin: "Capitalism is made up of contradictions and the entire capitalist enterprise is at the same time associated but also in conflict with the neighbor, but this does not stop them have common interests. Conflicting commercial, I would say, in constant competition, but also have common interests and common interests are the new basis of collective imperialism. "

De Bolivar

UIA Transnational dominant in our subcontinent are trying to convert the MERCOSUR as an instrument of the characteristics identified, in an inclusive regional political common economic management.

line seems to be expressed in the statement that the Industrial Union of Argentina (UIA)-controlled by Techint, circulated a few days ago about the possible nationalization of the company Sidor by the Bolivarian government of Venezuela.

The text "acknowledges the efforts being made by the Argentine government aimed to defend the project Terniun Sidor, a project that successfully embodies the policy of integration between Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela."

But more than integration, we would say that "the project" Sidor Terniun system is a classic transfer of wealth: the steel is sold cheaply to its own companies abroad and then imported, more expensive, seamless pipes (which are essential for the Venezuelan oil industry). This is a "value added" that is generated in the productive process itself and through which the transnational corporation carries out the various stages in different countries.

This is the business system that houses the neodevelopmentalist trend that emerged in Latin America as a result of the neoliberal crisis. The same process leading monopolies sheltered in the monetarist orthodoxy or the denationalization of the productive and now, as Claudio Katz, "oiled to maintain links with the financial capital, promote more industrial courses to encourage the development of new transnational 'Multilatinas' (as Slim, Odebrecht, Techint)."
"These companies," continued Katz, profited from privatization, but now industrial businesses prioritize and rank the regional market. "

The time for decisions

Following the announcement of the nationalization of Sidor, Techint is threatening to lead a boycott of Venezuela's state oil industry, failing to sell the strategic input while warns Argentina over the consequences of his retirement in the labor market. This prompted an understandable concern in the conduct of the Metal Workers Union, to the point that its leaders sent a letter to President Hugo Chavez calling for the crime.

President Cristina also seems to have taken up the matter with the aim of safeguarding the assets of "an enterprise Argentina."

But as we saw in these notes is not a company Techint Argentina. Be clear on this means nothing less than give the MERCOSUR project category reuniting of the Patria Grande and not a simple extension of the labor and consumer markets to transnational integrated and diversified, which are key centers of imperialism spread today.

therefore depend on the region's leaders know implement policies that build hope in our villages or maintain the status quo that, sooner or later, will prove to be another disappointment.
