Chile: allende Santiago


Antes de dejar a Chile, damos un vistazo a algunos ambientes construidos en su "segunda ciudad",. Concepción, de unos 216 mil habitantes de acuerdo a Wikipedia. He aquí un blog de urbanismo | Departamento de Planificación y Diseño Urbano. Y aquí, unas impresionantes imágenes de Concepción de Chile. No me parecen bellas, pero sí son modernas. Algo menos moderna es la imagen arriba, del Arco de Medicina de la Universidad de Concepción (por Tomás Jorquera).

Y sobre el urbanismo de Concepción, he aquí un comentario sobre "cómo lo urbano sucumbe a lo rural" por el artista Muñozcoloma, enriquecido por muchas y muy buenas fotos: La barbarie como contracultura. Volveremos a este tema, las "segundas ciudades", luego de continuar nuestro recorrido por las primeras (las más grandes y más potentes) de los diversos países.

Geoffrey Fox's short story collection Welcome to My Contri (1988, enlarged e-book 2010) was described by The New York Times Book Review as a "short and impressive work" in which "Mr. Fox [...] has created a memorable set of players who, while not natural antagonists (they often share the same dreams and goals), are still somehow bent on confrontation. Watching their sometimes vicious, often darkly humorous interactions leaves us thoroughly wrung out and aware that we are in the presence of a formidable new writer". Novels: A Gift for the Sultan (2010), Rabble! (2022) His articles, op-eds and book reviews have appeared in The Nation, The New York Times, the Village Voice and other publications. Since 2008, Fox has been living with his partner, architect Susana Torre, on the edge of the Mediterranean in the village of Carboneras in Andalusia, Spain, where his short stories (in Spanish) under the pen name "Baltasar Lotroyo" ("el otro yo" = alter ego in Spanish) have appeared in anthologies and online publications.
