Small Jars For Wedding Favors

Confusing Words A Year


A year ago started this whole new experience for me, living dissociated from the Internet, open a blog. Like most of our blogs, born in reaction to the onslaught of a brutal and right destituyente myopic and mediocre, but buttressed and guided by the collective snake charmers, the makers of public opinion measurement.
was very important, in my case, the influence of Open Letter, to which I had integrated in early 2009, because there I met a remarkable core strength, willing to give the cultural battle to build another story, the popular field, to oppose the hegemonic. There
clearly understood that a possible battle station was listening to the speeches, the language of the media, and start in humble scale, to find cracks to penetrate them, to reveal, while to understand that it is essential to generate our own symbols to keep changing reality.
were moments where it was very difficult to defend the government, because the propaganda machine We became a sort of an evil cult fans, ready to devour everything, to destroy the country. Could not sustain a political discussion in a rational tone in terms of exchange of views, but rather appeared to be an inquisitorial air by those who claimed to defend freedom (in particular, of the press and expression). We were, if you will, a sort of outcasts. All this was taking the keyboard.

El 11/20/2009, entitled "Preliminary words" ("think he was writing a book?) We gave our manifesto of intent:
"As with all things born, comes into the world preceded by expectations and desires, ideals to aim for.
Enredando words is not except on one hand, words will entangle them to play in the plot of a collective network, but on the other hand, words will confuse the attempt to confuse some speeches that are to be revealed. The idea is to challenge them, undress them, put proposed relief, what they imply. In short, Confusing Words is to create a shared space to build our own eyes critical about our society and our institutions, starting from the dominant discourses and revealing the extent of the deception. " In this we are still the same.

Now, let's what really matters, which is the gratitude.
I warmly thank all colleagues, all those friends who with their reading and their contributions, supports this desire to write. The so-called "comments" that you leave, have often produced more text, reading deeper, that the writings that originated, which is always a great satisfaction. As we stated earlier: In this blog, the comments are part of the text, because they are neither more nor less than his return enriched.
As Silvio Rodriguez says "Playa Giron" fellow history. Thank you very much everyone for the good company. We continue to read.
