Alberto Fuguet and new
stories around the web
Chilean writer and filmmaker, invites the International Literature Festival in Buenos Aires (Filber), analyzes the forms and expressions brought under blogs . "The text is strong, support is the middle," she believes. Silvina Friesen
For
Alberto Fuguet says that authors like today would Pessoa or Pavese blogs.
When in the late '70s came to Santiago de Chile, a city besieged by the terror of the Pinochet dictatorship, was 12 and could not say a word in English. That teenager grew up in California (USA) was misplaced. The book and film were a ground wire that allowed him to gradually integrate. Finding your place in the world. Alberto Fuguet, writer and filmmaker influential in many contemporary narrators for his opposition to the magical realism in his collection of stories McOndo, several authors, opted for real and urban literature, "one could say that both sides walk festivals.
just arrived the country to join the International Literature Festival in Buenos Aires (Filber), which begins tomorrow, where he will participate in a panel on Roberto Bolaño and another with the promising title of "shameless and plagiarism in the network." But soon, says the author of Overdose , Jeers and films my life, festivals are devoted to their recent
short 2 hours.
"I'm trying to bring the intimacy of the literature and audiovisual economic freedom," says Chilean writer. "I think you can, costing but something can be done. Does not seem right or fair that the film is in the hands of Pol-Ka or Paramount, or the state no less than art festivals like Rotterdam. I think there must be a way. And if it does not for long, making short films or documentaries or clips. For me, film is as important to write and the network can help me. Perhaps not finance, but at least to reach many people. And not only within the country. "
" In a text entitled The Blog of Disquiet, said that "in the stratosphere of blogging, people just want to be, do not count. Wants to show. " Why give this phenomenon exhibited among the writers who blog?
"What I meant is the" normal "people, not the writers 'professional', or, say, writers who have published books and, for example, have given interviews. My impression is that there are still few authors, bloggers. There are millions of people "normal" (or maybe not so normal) who write, are displayed, they confess, they are exposed. Sure, use the word, photos, images and music to exist, to be, not to be one more, to be someone important or someone better or someone else on the network. While there must be exceptions, I see many people telling in the traditional sense. Counting fictions. Do make a lot of confessions as St. Augustine or "life in progress" which is memorable as many times in the same level of everyday life. Really do not know writers who make their life a show, if there are singers or rock or even public figures or celebrities. Among all those people anonymous network, there will be writers who publish in a more traditional.
- What do you attribute this widespread need for a spectacle of life?
"Life is a movie. Everything is now show. But I repeat: do not all show in real life or on the network. There are people who see themselves as an art film or a low-budget documentary. Maybe everyone feels they want to be part of the network, the big stage, but not everyone believes that life is a nonsense program. I guess that post is displayed, exhibited, whether online or in bookstores, but another thing to show, brothel and make up a character. At least I think literature has to do with finding a way to express yourself better than you express yourself in life.
"So as they say that there are stories or anecdotes that can not be written, why anything goes in the net? Why a subject X believes that her diary may be of interest to another?
"Not everything is, of course, but online all they can be. And here I think is good to note that both the newspaper publishing industry as the entry permit only a few. In the network, not anything goes, but everything is done and it seems they are all. By failing to filter the network may be someone that has things that interest us, no doubt. But does this not happen in the real world or similar? And as in the real world, few that are popular. My impression is that these diaries are on the network that are less widely read than those hidden in a locked drawer. Then, in the whole network can be, but the network seems to life and, therefore, not everything you read, not everything works, not all accomplished their goal. The good news is that eventually it can happen. Perhaps Kafka's diaries and Andres Caicedo Pavese would now be unknown or losers in the network.
- What's left for the area of \u200b\u200bprivacy if everything is online?
-No everything is on the network. What's on the net is what people want is on the network. From an improved version of the subject or even a version of self-flagellation. In the network's all post, fragments, pieces. But the street is a lot. Although younger people to the distinction between private and public is less, in some way in the real world is too. But beware, not because someone appears nude or having sex or masturbated last night telling if it means revealing much. Reveals a part. There is still the distinction between intimate and public, and art or literature is for them to work in the private and the public take it without damaging it, without turning into something vulgar, exposed. Intimacy is more crowded show, show or, worse still, a circus. Mourn with grief for the cameras, is it intimate?
Although Chilean writer and filmmaker has two blogs (www.albertofuguet.blogspot.com and www.laspeliculasdemivida.blogspot.com ) said that he feels a blogger. At least one professional. In the short term is involved with two network projects: www.albertofuguet.cl , linking its two blogs, and www.cinepata.com , a distributor of digital cinema free for people to download films, short clips and other audiovisual projects.
"I have to jump blogs the press. When someone appears in the press, because it is releasing a book or on tour. And, secondly, to skip local. A post of mine appears throughout the world, especially in the English speaking world, "said Fuguet. "The truth is I do not use the blog to prove stories or to talk to potential readers. I suppose I could, but I'm not on the network to respond to posts or make new friends but simply to intervene to put things that interest me, to have, so to speak, my own environment and my own communications agency. And soon I will have my own film distribution company. "
Point
right on target, without hesitation, when you define what a plagiarism. "Plagiarism is trying to pass itself alien. Sure that happens much in the network rather than in real life. But the network is so common to appropriate, cite, link ... Plagiarism is not a very appropriate word for the network. Now that I'm just linking or appointment or shares is also considered a copyright, plagiarism and therefore does not become so necessary. In addition, those who do know it is very easy to understand whether something is or is not itself "raises Fuguet.
- Why said that "the blogosphere is not an art, and hopefully never will be?
- Did I say that? (Laughter.) I do not know, clearly it seems more healthy to be an open space there may be art, but also has everything. In the network should not ever feel that you must ask permission to enter. The grace is that you can find everything. He who seeks finds, say.
- who writes a blog generates work?
-Generates work, yes. I do not know if all that work brings to a book, but perhaps many of these posts they can operate. In my case, a part of autistic Notes was taken from my blog. Come to think of, I guess I tried my texts, but do not feel like because I do not use statistics or allow comments.
-seems to be a trend that is to publish books with texts and stories originally written in blogs. What is your opinion on this phenomenon?
"It's a fad and will pass. At the end it is a remix of the epistolary format. As with everything, there may be some very silly and notable books lights up. A text written from within, personal, or just a good text, can resist everything: be on the network, a blog, in a journal or supplement. The text is strong, the medium is the medium.
"You said Fernando Pessoa would be perfect now a blogger, what other poets and writers could fall within that category?
"Those who need to tell what they are doing. They need every so often leave evidence of feelings or things that happened. Also, as in the case of Pessoa, those who understand that changing the name, you can write otherwise. I'm not an expert in the world of poetry, but it strikes me that the network is a great place for them. Now I published a book called My body is a cell , a sort of autobiography of the Colombian writer Andres Caicedo, who was killed at age 25 in 1977. The mailing and sending letters to recipients almost unknown. Without doubt, Caicedo was a blogger, a guy who needed to post more than once a day. All those writers who had had a great correspondence or diaries are authors today find on the net. From Pizarnik to Pavese, anyone who feels they need to communicate but do not know how, is a home network.
