Presagiar: v. To forebode, betoken,
presage.
Pero Siqueiros tomó un rumbo diferente
al pintar América Tropical en 1932 en
un muro exterior que daba a la calle Olvera.
Su uso de la metodología «en
equipo» también presagió
los posteriores murales chicanos.
Joyce Gregory Wyels. "Voces vibrantes, grandes
muros." Américas, febrero
2000, pág. 24.
Instar: vt. to urge, press
El actual proyecto de Botello, en la pared de
un gimnasio enorme, se llama
Inner Resources, nombre que hace referencia a
los puntos fuertes de la
comunidad e insta a la juventud a que utilice
su riqueza interior.
Joyce Gregory Wyels. "Voces vibrantes, grandes
muros." Américas, febrero
2000, pág. 27.
Hambruna: nf. Famine; mad hunger
La hambruna y las guerras causan sólo un
10% de las muertes por hambre, aun
cuando éstas tienden a ser de las que
se escuchan con mayor frecuencia. La
mayoría de las muertes por hambre se deben
a desnutrición crónica. Las
familias sencillamente no consiguen suficientes
alimentos. Esto, a su vez, se
debe a la extrema pobreza.
Del sitio de Internet www.thehungersite.org.
Quid: nm. Gist, core, crux.
Quizás el quid de este arte de bailar un
tango está en su libertad en donde
ciertos elementos de la experiencia se dan otra
vez con la emoción de la
primera, despejados ya del riguroso tener que
ser siempre de una sola forma.
Rodolfo Dinzel. El Tango - una Danza, esa
ansiosa búsqueda de la libertad.
Ediciones Corregidor, 1994, pág. 113.
III. CINE-LIT OUTING? SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON
SPANISH LANGUAGE FILMS EVENT. SEE RAY
VERZASCONI'S MESSAGE AND THE SCHEDULE THAT FOLLOWS.
Just got the Cine-Lit message day before yesterday.
I understand that registration for the entire conference will be $140
(includes breakfasts, a lunch or so, and receptions).
However, Guy had also told me that there would
be a film showing for area high school teachers/students
separate from the conference one evening.
Haven't heard about that yet. I suspect, as in previous years, that
films
will be open to the general public -- at least
those that will also be part of the Portland International Film Festival.
Richard Browning's new amiga, Elena, is now teaching
at PSU, and in their M.A. program, and she's volunteered to
help with Cine-Lit, so she said she'd get me
a copy of final program as soon as it's available -- probably next week.
Once you get program, if you and several people
from your southwest area decide to attend a film, and you let me
know, I'll see if daughter Steph will let me
use her home again for a reception (Viniste hace 3 años, ¿no?)
I thought of
doing something at Fernando's (my daughters &
I are regular customers), but they've become very popular and very
crowded virtually every night -- and then, depending
on the film, some teachers might bring students. Steph's home can
comfortably hold about 50 people, and we could
just ask everyone to bring a "tapa" -- and I'll supply the wine.
Will keep in touch on this.

IV. FEDERAL ACRONYMS!
In Ray's e-mail of last week from JNCL, he used
a certain number of acronyms. Several people e-mailed him directly,
and seven e-mailed me. Here is a code to
decipher last week's article! I apologize for the formatting.

To me it suggests that more

leaders think.

VII. LOS NORTEÑOS: HISPANIC WRITERS
IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
Los Norteños formed in October 1994 to
promote and support the literary efforts of Latino writers in the Pacific
Northwest. The first group of its kind
in this area, its membership includes poets, writers, journalists, screenwriters,
and
playwrights, and represents Chicano, Mexican,
Ecuadorian, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Peruvian and
Guatemalen heritages.
The group's first project was a special twenty-page
Latino Literary Supplement which appeared in the October 25
1994 issue of the Stranger. In conjunction
with the supplement, Los Norteños hosted a benefit reading for CASA
Latina on the Day of the Dead at Elliott Bay
Book Company.
Los Norteños has continued these traditional
celebrations of Dia de los Muertos as benefits for a variety of non-profit
organizations in the Seattle area that serve
the community needs in the areas of literacy, homelessness and health.
The
group has added Cinco de Mayo as a Springtime
opportunity to support the community as well, hosting readings and a
one-act play festival entitled, Una Noche de
Liberación.
For more information, please contact Olga Sanchez at olgaps@yahoo.com
Esto es todo para la semana.
