Elena Poniatowska, a cronista do Massacre de Tlatelolco

Sylvia Colombo

O primeiro fim de semana da 26a edição da Feira Internacional do Livro de Guadalajara terminou com uma homenagem a Elena Poniatowska. Aos 80 anos, sorridente e serena, a escritora participou de mesas, brindou a memória do amigo Carlos Fuentes, morto há seis meses, para por fim, na tarde deste domingo, sentar-se para ouvir anedotas e casos de sua própria vida contados por intelectuais amigos.

Poniatowska vem de uma família nobre polonesa. Seu verdadeiro nome é, nada menos, que Hélène Elizabeth Louise Amélie Paula Dolores Poniatowska Amor, descendente de um rei polonês. Nascida em Paris, veio com a família durante a Segunda Guerra e adotou o México como seu país. Desde muito jovem, começou a dedicar-se ao jornalismo, para depois envolver-se também com a ficção.

Pouquíssimo traduzida e conhecida no Brasil, Poniatowska é figura-chave no meio da intelectualidade mexicana. Começou escrevendo crônicas com um pseudônimo, “Heléne”, nos anos 50, mas logo passou a se interessar por temas sociais. Seu trabalho mais conhecido foi a cobertura do Massacre de Tlatelolco, um massacre contra estudantes mobilizados na Praça das Três Culturas, na Cidade do México, em 1968. O episódio, ocorrido a apenas dez dias dos Jogos Olímpicos daquele ano, deixou uma cifra de mortos sobre a qual não há consenso, de 200 a mais de mil, e marcou uma ruptura importante entre o PRI (Partido Revolucionário Institucional) e a sociedade.

Poniatowska lançou seu livro em 1971, um misto de crônica e análise do ocorrido. Trata-se, hoje, de uma referência do jornalismo latino-americano. Na FIL, ganhará lançamento de uma reedição, com novas fotos e adendos, a ser apresentada e autorafada pela própria autora, hoje, a partir das 18h.

A autora segue ativa nas discussões políticas do país. Depois de envolver-se no conflito de Chiapas e nas campanhas eleitorais pela Presidência ao lado do esquerdista Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Poniatowska agora está em campanha contra o presidente eleito do México, Enrique Peña Nieto, que toma posse no próximo sábado.

Peña Nieto passou pela FIL em 2011 e deu vexame. Ao ser perguntado sobre os três livros que haviam sido essenciais em sua vida, disse que não se lembrava de nenhum. Poniatowska, em sua fala de ontem, lembrou o episódio e disse que o eleito não tinha capacidade nem legitimidade de assumir o cargo. Para o final da semana, a autora tem programados atos na Cidade do México ao lado de outros intelectuais que defendem que a eleição de Peña Nieto foi fraudulenta e que deveria haver uma recontagem de votos.

O único livro em catálogo de Poniatowska no Brasil é “A Pele do Céu”, lançado há mais de dez anos pela editora Objetiva. O desconhecimento de sua obra no Brasil é mais um desses deslizes imperdoáveis de nosso mercado editorial. Além do trabalho sobre Tlatelolco, merecem atenção seus textos sobre a pintora Frida Kahlo e a fotógrafa Tina Modotti, além das coletâneas de entrevistas com nomes da cultura e personalidades mexicanas e ensaios, “Palavras Cruzadas” e “Todo México”.

  12. I doubt this can be a spot for this, nevertheless… I have a problem with the present copyright laws, i feel that the best way our recent approach to government functions the lobby is a reason for the item. Our laws do not every bit as guard anyone, they will only protect the passions of a wealthy number of. Can there be not necessarily a way to alter the way in which the drinks are? Precisely what number with the people may be roughed up previous to true alter may be moved to happen? The laws happen to be contorted and twisted to benefit a abundant minority. Example: I’m some sort of land surveyor. My family did to carry out surveys for individuals intended for 40 years. We now have constantly put money incredibly competitively oftentimes losing money to have job opportunities in hopes which we will make each of our income by having the particular data in order that we might find the work with long term online surveys and having the capacity to complete these easily by simply bringing up-to-date just what info we all by now possessed upon document. This exact same approach to lawmaking that may be shielding the RIAA is permitting the title market yet others that were accumulating replicates in our research to help deliver them how to people receiving affidavits intended for closings utilizing the work for their own income as well as taking out all of us through making money for our very own sebaceous labor and also function. What troubles us the majority of about this is that, some day, there will be a lawsuit with a customer survey most of us did ages previously, that was utilized for the later on closing against all of our will certainly as well as the surfaces will certainly part next to us for a employment we all did not possibly receives a commission to get. Coming from prepared most people throughout authorities asking for assist in getting and then obtain inerte template response or any answer back whatsoever. Romans possessed this much better 2000 years ago. Good we stay in a new democracy, yet My partner and i fear it is not a good republic. Most of us political election to place several grouped Republicans or even Democrats throughout government, and then include all of our laws written in addition to cool to benefit a new abundant minority, through lobbyists funded by means of and representing some sort of wealthy number of. This particular similar federal government all of us selected as for places the concern about the needs from the the greater part, inside the belief this abundant few are far more clever as well as a lot more suitable as opposed to the vast majority. I’m reluctant each of our authorities is now more of a great Aristocracy.
