Opis

El semanario Marcha (1939-1974) constituyo un ejemplo paradigmatico de los efectos que las fuerzas sociales y politicas pueden llegar a imprimir en los imaginarios colectivos y en las practicas culturales concretas a traves de las cuales se expresa una comunidad. Marcha surgio en uno de los paises mas pequenos y perifericos de America Latina para despues proyectarse con fuerza a traves de fronteras culturales e ideologicas abriendo un espacio de dialogo y debate donde participaron figuras de la cultura, la politica y la economia internacional. Este prestigioso semanario sucumbio ante la barbarie de la violencia de Estado, incrementando el desamparo de un continente que perdia uno de los mas firmes puntos de referencia ideologica y cultural. Quienes participan en este libro, piensan en Marcha desde horizontes teoricos ya problematizados por los estudios culturales, donde las narrativas criticas intersectan con planteamientos de evaluacion politica, interes historiografico, o analisis sociocultural. Los articulos aqui recogidos respetan lo que fue la intencion principal de esta compilacion: mostrar la incidencia de Marcha mas alla de lo local, pero a su vez sin despreciarlo, ya que el semanario lo atendio a consciencia. Sobre todo, se ocupan de dejar claros los terminos en los que se abre, se sostiene y se cierra, a traves de la paginas de Marcha, un dialogo valiente y riguroso donde la cultura germino como una aventura intelectual colectiva, y como forma de imaginacion, y de la sensibilidad social. ~ The weekly magazine Marcha (1939-1974) was a paradigmatic example of the effects that social and political forces can have on collective imaginaries and on the specific cultural practices through which a community expresses itself. Marcha emerged in one of the smallest and most peripheral countries in Latin America to later spread across cultural and ideological borders, opening a space for dialogue and debate to which important players in international culture, politics and the economy contributed. This prestigious magazine succumbed to the barbarity of State violence, increasing the helplessness of a continent that was losing one of its strongest ideological and cultural points of reference. Those who contribute to this book reflect upon Marcha from theoretical horizons already problematized by cultural studies, where critical narratives intersect with approaches to political evaluation, historiographical interest, or sociocultural analysis. The articles collected here respect what was the main intention of this compilation: to show the incidence of Marcha beyond the local, but at the same time without despising the local, since the magazine attended to it conscientiously. Above all, they are concerned with clarifying the terms in which a brave and rigorous dialogue is opened, sustained and closed through the pages of Marcha, where culture was conceived as a collective intellectual adventure, and as a form of imagination and social sensitivity.
