Meet the adventurers

#1 Juan Ortega

≪ My dear son. The time has finally come to introduce him to his very first adventure without me. He is now 15 years old, but Juan he’s really sharp and can very well take care of himself. He is certainly more responsible than his old man! ≫

#2 Ainnlun “Ann” Brown

≪ Mr. Ning, from the Beijing Library, suggested Ms. Brown’s name to me as the best ancient linguist in the square, and chines isn’t even her mother tongue! I think Professor Brown is the perfect figure to translate those ideograms engraved on the bone. ≫

#3 Brandon O’Connor

≪ Ah, what memories! This young man reminds me a lot of myself when I was younger: passionate, ready for anything, promising...and rather unlucky. I immediately took him to heart; he deserves recognition. I don't want him to go through what I went through. ≫

#4 Noah Murphy

≪ Brandon has told me all about Noah, his inseparable companion. I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting him, but from the way Brandon talks about him he sounds like a capable and intelligent young man. Despite his age he already has a Bachelor’s Degree in History. ≫

#5 Matt Corral

≪ Last year I gave permission to a film production company to shoot some scenes of their movie on my land in Texas. It was a very exciting experience and I had the chance to meet the lead actor, Mr. Corral. Chatting with him, he told me that he is a skilled stunt man and has also worked as a bodyguard in the past. He might be a good fit for me. ≫

#6 Robert Dalson

≪ Mr. Corral would only be convinced if he was filmed in the field by an assault cameraman, so I viewed numerous applications and Mr. Dalson's resume was a perfect fit with what I was looking for: filming at high altitude, at 120 km/h on a motorcycle, plus he has a camera signed by Ridley Scott! ≫

#7 Joe Dean Day

≪ Didn't he owe me a favor? Better book him to be sure he’ll be available during the expedition period. My adventurers could use someone of his caliber. Let's not forget the dear old Jack's bad luck! ≫

≪ And by the way, this is me, Jack Watson. An old Texas magnate, head of the First Watson Expedition. The agency’s dream becomes more and more real. That life-long dream. ≫

Jack Watson, 1992

What Is An Occasional Poem?

Occasional, topical, and news poems are used to address something particular to the time they are written in, and in particular are often about something in the news. At times they are even commissioned by certain entities to mark particular events and are written with the intention to be viewed long after they are written. The works of latinx poet Juan Felipe Herrera exemplify the need for topical poetics in times of duress, and in particular afterwards. Occasional and topical poems often are made to keep the excitement of a movement going, especially after the initial excitement of protests wants to die down. His works, in particular 187 Reasons Why Mexicanos Can’t Cross The Border are great examples of what we typically think of when we think of an occasional poem. On the importance of occasional poetry, Herrera stated in an interview with Matt Blakley for The Library of Congress that,

The occasional poem is a poem of direct emotional power: it is accessible, and it fosters a public relationship. It is the place where we all can meet—to offer our words, the news, and the heart of our lives—in a time of crises. I have dedicated my life to these endeavors. What else is there? As Poet Laureate, I can knock on the doors of our national house, visit for a moment or two and sit with families in pain and suffering. Seven months into the year, I have made many “poetry visits” such as these—perhaps too many (Herrera, emphasis added).

I think key points about what make an occasional poem are described in this statement, in particular that occasional poetry is emotionally charged, accessible to everyone, and that it brings people together through a shared emotional feeling. Given this criteria, there are some poems that cross and blur the lines of what is and isn't an occasional poem. Sometimes I read a poem and think to myself that it could only ever be understood in the time period that we are reading it, or in the future with the knowledge of the past. Some poems simply cannot be understood before certain societal changes and events. The aforementioned poem, 187 Reasons Mexicanos Can't Cross The Border, is such a poem, and I wonder if a poem that elicits this feeling could be counted as an occasional poem simply because you can only read it within or after the occasion it is written in. An example that I think of is a poem by Edward C. Corral from his work Guillotine, particularly from the section "Testaments Scratched Into A Water Station Barrel". The untitled poem on page 15 of the book seems like a transcription of graffiti or etchings that the author observed, as given by the title of the section. There are some lines in the poem that could only be understood in the time it was written and the time after, some of the references would not make sense in a pre 2016, pre Trump world. Lines like “BUILD THE WALL STOP DRUGS”, “I 🖤brown A$$”, “hey illegals ICE”, and “make Arizona great again” are examples of the poems specificity to the time it was written. Although maybe not labeled as an occasional poem outright, it has elements of an occasional poem, and maybe upon absolute technicality it is a topical poem. Moving forward however, within this blog, I want to think of poems like this, of marking historical moments through their very existence. Like Herrera said, occasional poems are meant to be poems of direct emotional power, accessible, and connect people in a shared feeling during a time of crisis. I think a lot of poems mark massive cultural shifts and I want to examine ways they can, and how poetry flows through us as a means to a reaction to the world at large.

Los mataderos según pasan los años, segunda parte. 🏭Dentro de estos edificios modernos, existían tres áreas principales: los corrales para el ganado, la sala de sacrificio y faena y, por último, la playa de despacho. Las novedades incluían la incorporación de las oficinas de control veterinario, laboratorios para la inspección de órganos, lavado de menudencias, vestuarios para el personal y caldera e incinerador. Estas innovaciones reemplazaban los poco higiénicos e insalubres establecimientos anteriores. 🏗️Otra novedad fue la diferenciación entre los espacios donde se faenaban los animales, siendo estos los principales, en contraposición al resto de actividades que complementan el trabajo o también espacios de servicios. 💦La importante demanda de agua que requerían, le permitió a Salamone desplegar su creatividad característica en la torre tanque. 🏚️Algunas décadas más tarde, muchos mataderos comenzaron a ser reemplazados por los frigoríficos locales, y otros fueron abandonados o reutilizados para actividades privadas. La mayoría sufrió la mutilación de la palabra MATADERO de su fachada. 📷Las fotos de archivo corresponden a las imágenes de las obras recién construidas durante el mandato del entonces Gobernador Manuel Fresco. La de Carhué es parte del acervo del Archivo General de la Nación. Las fotos actuales las tomé en Carhué en 2010 y 2021, en Saldungaray en el 2013, en Pellegrini durante el 2022 y en Vedia a principios de 2021. En ese momento funcionaba una perrera. 🛒Todavía quedan ejemplares de mi fotolibro Vistas de la pampa salamónica.

Por favor, el artículo de la wikipedia de Ciencia ficción en España es un viaje en sí mismo. Los niveles de fliponio de este país no conocen límites @goldenliartrash (sí, voy a fusilar la wikipedia con esto):

Emparentada con la mera fantasía y cercana al mundo de la leyenda está la Crónica sarrazina o Crónica del rey don Rodrigo con la destruyción de España de Pedro de Corral, escrita en 1443 y publicada en 1499, en realidad la primera novela caballeresca de la literatura española, que incluye algunos elementos fantásticos como una especie de televisión de azogue que encuentra el protagonista en la Cueva de Hércules que le anticipa el futuro. De entre las utopías, el ejemplo más nombrado es el Libro del eloquentíssimo Emperador Marco Aurelio con El Relox de príncipes (1527) de Antonio de Guevara. En esta utopía se describen las costumbres y leyes de los «garamantes», un pueblo sencillo y pacífico que no empuña las armas y que solo posee siete leyes, pero que se muestra inflexible en su aplicación.

UNA TELEVISIÓN DE AZOGUE. Tengo que encontrar esa novela.

Muy fan también de los xenoantropólogos decimonónicos con títulos como "Viajes a un mundo desconocido, su historia, leyes y costumbres (1838), de un D. F. de M. no identificado con certeza; Lunigrafía: o sea, noticias curiosas sobre las producciones, lengua, religion, leyes, usos y costumbres de los lunícolas (1855-1858), de Miguel Estorch y Siqués"

Pero eso no se queda aquí, que el siglo XIX estaba lleno de novedades científicas de todo tipo: "La novela de Amalio Gimeno, luego traducida al francés, Un habitante de la sangre (1873), narra las aventuras de un glóbulo rojo dotado de conciencia y personalidad, no es sino LA PRIMERA DE UNA SERIE DE ALEGORÍAS MÉDICAS HISPÁNICAS posteriores: las de Juan Giné y Partagás Un viaje a Cerebrópolis (1884), La familia de los onkos (1888) y Misterios de la locura (1890; se tradujo al italiano)"

CEREBRÓPOLIS (lo siento mucho, Dimension20, pero claramente Mentópolis no va a ningún sitio como nombre)

Y además "Mariano Martín Rodríguez señala que «las zarzuelas protofictocientíficas no eran, de hecho, inusitadas en la España de esa época»". ZARZUELAS. Una de ellas es "Madrid en el año 2000".

Y con esto, te dejo descubrir la wikipedia por tu cuenta porque creo que mi lista de lectura para este año va a salir íntegra de este artículo.
