Ejaculating After A Brazilian Wax

died Philosopher

has killed a great thinker. How many more must die?

I think in our country we have failed to hear some important voices pointing to the horizon. will future generations that must know the work of great intellectuals such as the recently deceased Peña Jaime Barrios (Guatemala, 1922 - Stockholm, Sweden , 2009).

Author of more than 20 books and numerous articles on psychoanalysis, education, anthropology, art and philosophy, has an extensive curriculum that would take a few pages of the newspaper. Just write a couple of facts: Doctor of Philosophy specializing in psychology, with studies in universities in several countries, was a diplomat for 18 years, during which folk festivals held abroad, organized conferences, some of which were once dictated by Miguel Angel Asturias, collaborated with the arrival of Guatemala's National Ballet at the Teatro Colon in Bogota, and the Festival of Communities Indians in the Teatro San Martin in Buenos Aires.

In August 2003 I interviewed, and I quote one of your answers.

JCL: Why did you decide to live outside of Guatemala? JBP

"family and professional circumstances, but this does not mean that a people forget that runs through my veins like tradition, birds singing in the rain, flying toucans, forest murmurs among pyramids, inns, processions and the voice of our northern dawn. "

Very little we can do from the media by drawing attention to the great intellectual and Barrios Peña. If anything, some mention, some interviews and some persistence in memory. But almost no interest that they show the universities, the private and public-art schools and teachers' bodies.

is often blamed the lack of support for artists, and almost always a reasonable complaint, as journalists often do not happen to write two lines of ad or chilled as a newsletter, "but is even more reprehensible the disdain and indifference to demonstrate their academic colleagues and the artist.

As Barrios Peña, writers, artists, researchers, musicians, theater actors who have 20 or 50 years of living in Switzerland, Italy, Mexico, France, Germany, Japan, USA and other countries.

Do they have to die to be remembered? What university know Carlos Solorzano, the illustrious writer who lives in Mexico and whose work is 10 times higher than that of Monteforte Toledo? "And I say no interest in provoking its devotees, because I only interested in explaining the importance of the unknown. What
Humanities deans have made contact with the leading actor Mario Gonzalez instructed hundreds of artists Europe? Have you heard of the painter Jacobo Rodríguez Padilla, who lives in France? Were humans to see the marvelous performance of actress Carmen Samayoa, when he came for a few days in Guatemala? Do our intellectuals that one of the best violinists in the world is Henry Raudales? Do they have heard of Luis E. Rivera, Antonio Cosenza, Abel Solares, Julio Cambranes, Francisco Nájera, Rina Lazo, Erwin Schumann, etc.?

How many philosophy students, teachers and historians that matter know the work of Dr. Barrios Peña? Do they know, by chance, he would gladly come to chat students with the powers-came to their land from time to time, and would have given lectures without any financial interest?

The philosopher's death reminds us that "it is a breath of life" but also that we should turn our eyes to many Guatemalans who, like him, have well earned wide recognition.

And not only those living abroad, remember, by the way, his book Heirs of the spirit of Kukulkan (Artemis Edinter), an essay on Guatemalan plastic artists (Carlos Merida Goyri, Grajeda Mena, Rodriguez Jacobo Padilla Dagoberto Vásquez, Abularach, Recinos, Roberto Cabrera, Quiroa, Magda Eunice Sánchez, Luis Diaz, Elmar Rojas, Ramón Banus, El Tecolote Guillermo Ramírez Amaya and Erwin).
