Thinking Aloud About Film: Stronger Than Love/ Más fuerte que el amor (Cuba/ Mexico, Tulio Demicheli, 1955)

Another fascinating film showing on MUBI; part of the ‘Spectacle Every Day: The Many Seasons of Mexican Cinema’ program; a lurid and very entertaining melodrama; interesting to compare with its contemporary Hollywood variant but perhaps best seen as an example of Spanish speaking transnational cinema. The director Tulio Demicheli is from Argentina, Jorge Mistral is Spanish, Miroslava originates…

happy birthday @maverickflare <3

[Image description: In the first drawing, Aelfric sits on his stone pedestal outside the Flamechurch Cathedral at night. He wears a flowing white dress, a black long-sleeved undergarment, and a teal cloak. He also wears a gold belt and bracelet, and the medallion on his cloak depicts the Sacred Flame. His face is almost entirely eclipsed by a shining white halo; only the outlines of his narrowed eye, lofty smile, and long, curly hair can be seen. In one of his hands burns a blue flame, while the other hand cradles Temenos Mistral's face. Temenos looks up at Aelfric with an expression of dread and reverence, sweat beading on his cheek. The illustration has a border of gold and lapis lazuli that includes medallions at its corners and midpoints, which depict various other characters. At the top center is Crick Wellsley, holding up a red book so that it covers the lower half of his face; he looks directly at the viewer with a shadow over his eyes. On either side of him, as well as at the bottom center, are three angels with shackles around their necks. They smile placidly and hold their hands up in supplication as they gaze at Crick. At the middle left is Pontiff Jörg, looking tiredly off to the side. At the middle right is Roi Mistral, looking downwards with a troubled expression. All of them are drawn with blue haloes. The bottom left medallion shows Aelfric's hand reaching around Temenos's neck; his eyes are hidden, his face is flushed, and his mouth is slightly open. The bottom right medallion is shattered. Between each medallion, a poem is written in Orsterran script and framed by arabesques. The red background beyond the border, decorated with eight black, winged, haloed Sacred Flames, completes the poem. It reads: "THE FACE OF MY LORD / is a devouring fire / THE FACE OF MY LORD / is a destroying angel / THE FACE OF MY LORD / disturbs slumberers in the night / THE FACE OF MY LORD / menaces children at church / THE FACE OF MY LORD / does not appear / THE FACE OF MY LORD / cannot appear / THE FACE OF MY LORD / is a wreath of tears / THE FACE OF MY LORD / is a broken mirror"

In the second drawing, Kalenda sits at a desk in an intricately carved wooden chair. She wears a plum-purple tailcoat, wine-red waistcoat with a dotted pattern, black trousers, and a white shirt with ruffles at the wrist and a black ribbon at the collar. On her left hand, she wears three silver rings; on her right hand, she wears a gold ring on her ring finger. A flower-decorated bowl holding a pomegranate, plum, and grapes sits on her desk. In her right hand is a lychee. Temenos stands behind her, bracing his left hand on the chair and resting the other playfully on Kaldena's head, seemingly reaching for the lychee. He wears a white shirt, black waistcoat, yellow-green waistscarf, and teal trousers which are heavily embroidered with nature imagery. He also wears a pearl earring; a matching gold ring on his right ring finger; and a gold necklace with a pendant of Crick, who is haloed and holding his right hand up in a gesture of blessing. Kaldena and Temenos are both looking at the viewer and smiling. The simplistic background shows an entrance to another room as well as a tall bookcase, with the top shelf holding a vase and two figurines of a griffin and winged serpent. End image description.]

(GO TO PART 1 AND PART 2)

PART 3

74. The poets listed in the epilogue refer to a few names I’ve mentioned before in this fic, plus a couple of new ones:

Federico García Lorca (see point 17 and also Sonnet of the Wreath of Roses, Night of Insomniac Love, To Find a Kiss of Yours and Blood Wedding)  

Jorge Gaitán Durán  (in particular, see I Know I’m Alive… and Death Could Not Beat Me)

Jotamario Arbeláez (in particular, see After The War and this article about the group of poets from Medellín who called themselves the Nadaistas)

Pablo Neruda (in particular, see One Hundred Love Sonnets and Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair)

Octavio Paz (see Touch, Counterparts, Colophon and Sunstone/Piedra de Sol)    

Rosario Castellanos (see point 8, plus there are several poems here, I particularly like Amor, Telenovela and Pasaporte)

Gabriela Mistral (see Drinking, Slow Rain and Gabriela Mistral's Letters to Doris Dana (Doris Dana was Gabriela Mistral's alleged romantic partner – see more here and here)

75. In the epilogue, there is a reference to Operation Orion (more info here as well) which was a series of controversial military operations in Comuna 13 in 2002.

Although the Colombian military and government declared it a success, there were questions raised about disappeared individuals and an Army General, who allegedly colluded with far-right paramilitaries (including none other than one of Don Berna’s underlings) and the CIA to bring down FARC. It’s also worth noting Plan Colombia existed at this time as well, which was a US initiative to provide foreign aid to Colombia.

Here are also a few articles about what became of Comuna 13 in the subsequent years and the regeneration of Medellín after so many years of violence:

Medellín: Front Line of Colombia’s Challenges

History of Comuna 13

Medellín, Colombia: reinventing the world's most dangerous city

76. I mentioned in point 69 about the INS re-branding as ICE. This happened in the wake of 9/11 when ICE was brought under the Department of Homeland Security, and this is what Javier alludes to in the epilogue.

Speaking of 9/11…here are a few articles about the impact it had on everything from the War on Drugs, the DEA, the immigration system and illegal border crossings:

The Costs of Homeland Security

Narco-Terrorism: The Merger of the War on Drugs and the War on Terror

How September 11 Changed the U.S. Immigration System

9-11 and the US-Mexico border: New challenges 20 years later

77. The Supreme Court decision referred to in the epilogue is Lawrence vs Texas (see point 62 above), which was heard in 2003 (the epilogue is set on 15th December 2004), which struck down America’s remaining sodomy laws.

It wouldn’t be until 2015 when the Supreme Court heard Obergefell v Hodges that same-sex marriage became legal in all 50 states (Texas was one of the last to legalise it off the back of this case).

I didn’t want to skip that far ahead in the epilogue, but I shall leave readers to draw their own conclusions about what they think Javier and Horacio might have done in 2015…

78. The inscription on Javier’s ring is, of course, the same one as Elena’s ring from chapter 22. I couldn’t really mention this when I talked about that chapter, as it would have been a spoiler for the epilogue lol.

The epilogue is named after Suerte by Shakira (the Spanish version of Whenever, Wherever). The lyrics of both the English and the Spanish versions are just so very them. And obviously, Shakira is Colombian, the story ends in Colombia...I had to make it happen lol.

79. I had always intended the epilogue to be all about the callbacks, especially to chapters 1 and 2, so I hope people spotted some as there are a few in there. Tolú is where the story started and it’s where it ended ❤️

I randomly remember dyeing my hair at some point in 2023 and it just came to me over my bathtub that “Old habits die hard, he supposed” was going to be the final line. It’s a thought Horacio expresses in chapter 1 but in a very different context and with a very different meaning. But that line was where the fic title came from, so it just felt fitting for it to be the last line as well. They’ve come full circle, but everything is different. I’m such a sucker for that trope lol.

And I think, that’s all folks! If I think of anything I’ve missed off (which is a distinct possibility), I’ll add them as and when I remember.

Thank you to anyone who has followed me down these rabbit holes of absolute insanity. I don’t think I even put this much effort into my degree tbh lol. But I’ve had a blast learning so much, challenging my ideas and expanding my understanding of countries and cultures other than my own. If I’ve encouraged anyone to go off on and explore, then I’d be thrilled and would love to hear from you 😊

tw: abandonment

maria isabel "marisa" irigaray was born in colonia, uruguay, and spent the initial five years of her life there before her family relocated to montevideo. born into a family with a banker father and a receptionist mother, marisa's upbringing was shaped by her parents sacrificing their dream careers for a more secure livelihood. while her father came to terms with the curtailment of his musical aspirations, her mother, an aspiring painter, struggled to move past the relinquishment of her artistic dreams. over time, her mother harbored resentment towards her husband and children for the role they played in truncating her ambitions.

despite her mother's usual cold and distant demeanor, there were instances when, under the influence of alcohol, she would engage in lengthy conversations with marisa about the profound significance of art. ironically, these intoxicated moments with her mother ignited a curiosity for art within marisa. she experimented with various forms, including painting, singing, and sculpting, but ultimately discovered her true calling in the realm of words.

at the age of eight, marisa's mother reached a breaking point and chose to abandon the family. devastated by this abandonment, marisa's father, though successful in providing a comfortable life financially, became immersed in work and frequently neglected his two children emotionally.

at 18, she attended university, majoring in literature. it was in her junior year that she seized the opportunity to spend a semester as an exchange student in valparaiso. it was during this time that marisa developed a deep affection for the city and vowed to return someday.

after completing her studies back in uruguay, she graduated and worked as a teacher for a few years. simultaneously, she dedicated her free time to crafting poems and actively sought a publishing house for her work.

one year ago, she made the bold decision to relocate to valparaiso. opting for a less demanding job than teaching, she sought a position at a bookstore, allowing her more time for writing. embracing a modest lifestyle, she now resides in the city.

//::  H E A D C A N O N S

marisa holds a special affinity for mario benedetti's "la tregua," making it her favorite book. additionally, she admires the works of horacio quiroga and jorge luis borges. among her preferred poets are gabriela mistral, rosario castellanos, sylvia plath, and pablo neruda.

influenced by her father's musical tastes, marisa grew up immersed in spanish rock, with a particular fondness for bands like soda stereo, héroes del silencio, and caifanes.

her upbringing also instilled in her a love for cooking, a skill passed down by her mother from their italian immigrant roots. marisa takes pride in her ability to prepare homemade pasta, with cannelloni being her signature dish.

her early education included attending an italian school, but her proficiency in the language has diminished over time since her mother's abandonment. despite being a bit rusty, she still retains some knowledge of italian.

while marisa often mentions "before sunrise" as one of her top 5 favorite movies, her true favorite is "mamma mia!"

unbeknownst to many, she harbors a fear of water due to a childhood accident at the age of five, which prevented her from learning how to swim. she keeps this detail private, sharing it with only a few people.

Temenos Mistral for the character ask game! (Because you were talking about them earlier!)

First impression: "Oh, he seems neat, wonder what his story will be about."

Impression now: I love Temenos, one of my top favorite characters from the game, probably my scond-fave after Ochette. He's such an interesting character and his story (gripes I might have with the pacing aside) was unexpected for a "cleric" story, based on what I'd seen with Ophilia and some of the clerics from CotC. Honestly I'd write up an entire character analysis if I had the energy to do so, bc there is so much going on with him.

Favorite moment: A few different ones, but I really like how any time that the façade he puts up starts to slip, this sheer force of anger slips through--that's good stuff. Love that his "In Pursuit of Truth" theme also sounds much more energetic and aggressive when compared to his normal theme song (and like, I'm not well-versed with music terms and stuff, but Temenos is also the only character whose "In Pursuit of..." song has a significantly different tempo and more aggressive melody when compared to the standard theme, if I recall correctly).

Idea for a story: Hmm, do the two rewrite ideas of his main narrative that I have floating in my head count? Like I've said, something about the general pacing of events and a handful of narrative elements in his story don't really work for me, and as a result his story arc doesn't seem as strong compared to the others' stories. Not all of it is "bad writing" or anything, like the writers clearly had a plan in mind, and I know some of it is just my personal taste...but yeah, I have a "canon compliant, trying to match the general narrative motifs and themes of the rest of the characters" rewrite idea, and a "mostly canon compliant, but definitely changing some things to fit my personal tastes which therefore go against one or two of the overall recurring themes and motifs" rewrite idea. I'll probably never do anything with them though bc it's more like...anytime I come across story writing that I thought was really good, I try to figure out what about it I liked and how the writers set it up, and any time I come across story writing that doesn't work, I do the same thing where I try to figure out why I didn't like it and then try to figure out how I'd write it myself, and this is like, a little mental enrichment I do just for fun and also to try and sharpen my own preferences and sensibilities for storytelling and writing. So like, I don't technically have that much beef with his story, and I don't want to come off as "I'm a better writer than the original writers" or even that I thought the original arc was bad (it really wasn't bad writing per se), it's more just a thing I came up with for myself for funsies and as a mental exercise in narrative, more so than an actual like, critique of the original story.

Unpopular opinion: I uh, I don't ship him with Crick...or anyone actually. In fact the Temenos x Crick ship really does not float my goats (nothing against anyone who enjoys the ship, you do you and all that, it's just not my cup of tea). I actually read and more or less headcanon Temenos as aroace, and even if I didn't, he's got like 2934820398432 unresolved trust issues, so I'd have a hard time seeing him be able to enter into a romantic relationship anyhow. But that's just my reading, again no shade to anyone who has a different reading/headcanons.

Favorite relationship: I love his interactions with all the other main characters, but I find his weird friendship with Ochette to be really, really interesting especially (I'd write up an analysis and list of thoughts on this too if I had the energy). Outside of the main cast, what little we get to see of his interactions with Jorg, along with what we learn after Jorg gets murdered, is really fascinating to me as well. They have a very unusual familial/professional relationship (although given that Benedict and Anna's wildly unconventional familial relationship is also super interesting to me, I'm thinking I might just be an enjoyer of unconventional and murky adopted familial relationships in fiction).

Favorite headcanon: I am fond of the idea of him being related to Alpates and Throne by blood, although as I've turned the headcanon over in my head and whittled it like a wood carving, it's developed into something really specific with basically no in-game source to back it up, so it's a 100% bona fide "I just made something up and went with it" headcanon that I keep modifying and changing. Basically, I think he's got a situation similar to Hikari's, but significantly more subdued since he doesn't have an evil shadow version of himself trying to talk him into murdering everyone, and that his blood ties to Alpates's bloodline are stronger than his blood ties to D'arqest. Some more specifics about that under the cut bc explaining myself requires talking about late-game spoilers.

(Specifically rather than being directly Claude's son, I think it's entirely possible some of the Blacksnakes were able to have kids of their own, like Father did, without Claude finding out about them and having the child killed, and that even potentially those kids might have had kids, thinning the blood ties to Claude further--so rather than being Throne's half-sibling, Temenos would be more uh...*checks cheat-sheet chart for familial ties* ummm...her half-grand-nephew, god I hate everything about that phrase why does anything relating to Claude have to be a string of "wtf??"s). I keep changing this headcanon slightly (I did originally start from the base of having him and Throne as half-siblings), so who knows just how much it's gonna change before I settle on something I'm really happy with, but I do like the idea a lot.

LITERATURA COLONIAL DE CHILE

¿COMO ERA EL ORIGEN DE CHILE?

Los restos arqueológicos mas antiguos de chile continental han sido ubicados en monte verde a finales del paleolítico superior, convirtiéndolo en el primer asentamiento humano conocido en américa en este periodo descolló la cultura chinchorro, desarrollaba en el norte del pais entre 5.000 y 1.700 A.C.

¿COMO ERA LA LITERATURA EN CHILE?

La literatura de Chile hace mención al conjunto de producciones literarias creadas por escritores originarios de ese país; ha sido producida habitualmente en español, aunque existen también autores, principalmente poetas, que utilizan otros idiomas, en particular el mapudungun. Especialmente en el ámbito de la poesía, cuenta con varios escritores de renombre, como Vicente Huidobro, Enrique Lihn, Gabriela Mistral, Pablo Neruda, Nicanor Parra, Pablo de Rokha, Gonzalo Rojas, Jorge Teillier y Raúl Zurita, entre otros. En el campo de la narrativa, destacan también Isabel Allende, Roberto Bolaño, María Luisa Bombal, José Donoso, Jorge Edwards, Pedro Lemebel, Antonio Skármeta, entre otros.

¿COMO ERA LA SOCIEDAD?

La sociedad colonial en Chile era estamental, es decir, presentaba una escasa movilidad social y estaba conformada en orden jerárquico por los conquistadores españoles, sus descendientes (criollos), las y los mestizos, la población indígena y los esclavos.

Los españoles, con el pasar del tiempo, se transformaron en una elite militar que traspasó su poder mediante las encomiendas. En la zona norte se dedicaban principalmente a las encomiendas y las actividades mineras, mientras que en la zona centro sur conformaron una elite encomendera de rasgo ganadero y agrícola.

¿CUANDO FUE LA COLONIA EN CHILE?

La sociedad colonial, entre los siglos XVII y XVIII, tuvo un carácter estamental y la vida de las personas estuvo marcada por la clase social, el lugar de nacimiento y el género. El grupo social más poderoso estuvo conformado por los españoles y criollos quienes se asentaron en grandes solares en las dos principales ciudades: Santiago y Concepción. Mientras las mujeres estaban encargadas de la economía doméstica, los hombres eran militares, se dedicaban al comercio o a la administración del campo.

El grueso de la población era mestiza y se dedicaron al trabajo rural, oficios urbanos y domésticos. Vivían en pequeños ranchos en los que se agrupaban muchas familias en un mismo espacio. Las mujeres mestizas eran sirvientas, cocineras o costureras, mientras que los hombres eran sirvientes o peones.

AUTORES DE MEMORIA CHILENA

¿COMO ES LA HISTORIA DE CHILE?

La historia de Chile se divide generalmente en doce periodos que abarcan desde el comienzo del poblamiento humano del territorio actual de Chile, hasta la actualidad.1​

El periodo prehispánico corresponde a la historia de las diferentes etnias amerindias presentes en el territorio, extendiéndose desde alrededor del año 14 800 a. C. hasta la llegada de los españoles. A partir de 1492, se iniciaron las exploraciones europeas en el continente americano. En 1520 Fernando de Magallanes y su expedición fueron los primeros europeos en llegar a Chile por el sur a través del estrecho que hoy lleva su nombre, y en 1536 Diego de Almagro comandó una expedición hasta el valle del Aconcagua y el norte del actual Chile.

El tercer periodo corresponde a la conquista hispana, que se extendió entre 1536 y 1598 con la guerra de Arauco, durante la cual los habitantes hispanos fueron atacados constantemente por los mapuche rebeldes. El período hispánico cubre algo más de dos siglos, entre 1598 y 1808, lapso marcado por el establecimiento de las instituciones reales.

El denominado periodo de la Independencia se desarrolló desde que Napoleón Bonaparte capturó al rey español de ese entonces Fernando VII en 1808 hasta la abdicación de Bernardo O'Higgins en 1823. Estuvo marcado por la guerra entre patriotas y realistas. La Patria Vieja, iniciada con un cabildo abierto el 18 de septiembre de 1810, llegó a su fin con la derrota patriota en la batalla de Rancagua en 1814, que dio inicio al periodo conocido como reconquista. Los patriotas sobrevivientes huyeron a la ciudad argentina de Mendoza, donde se aliaron con el gobernador independentista de la provincia, el general José de San Martín, y formaron el «Ejército Libertador de los Andes». La reconquista terminó en 1817 con la batalla de Chacabuco, en la cual el «ejército Libertador» derrotó al ejército realista. El triunfo militar definitivo se dio el año siguiente en la batalla de Maipú.

Entre 1831 y 1861, tuvo lugar el periodo de la república conservadora. Estuvo marcado por la puesta en vigor de la Constitución de 1833, establecida por Diego Portales, con un gobierno fuerte y centralizador. A pesar de algunos intentos de subversión, se mantuvo la estabilidad institucional y el país conoció la prosperidad económica.

LITERATURA CONTEMPORANEA CHILENA

La literatura de Chile hace mención al conjunto de producciones literarias creadas por escritores originarios de ese país; ha sido producida habitualmente en español, aunque existen también autores, principalmente poetas, que utilizan otros idiomas, en particular el mapudungun. Especialmente en el ámbito de la poesía, cuenta con varios escritores de renombre, como Vicente Huidobro, Enrique Lihn, Gabriela Mistral, Pablo Neruda, Nicanor Parra, Pablo de Rokha, Gonzalo Rojas, Jorge Teillier y Raúl Zurita, entre otros. En el campo de la narrativa, destacan también Isabel Allende, Roberto Bolaño, María Luisa Bombal, José Donoso, Jorge Edwards, Pedro Lemebel, Antonio Skármeta, entre otros.El romanticismo en Chile, conforme al análisis del crítico literario Cedomil Goic, puede clasificarse en tres generaciones literarias: la de 1837, 1852 y 1867.

La de 1837, denominada también generación costumbrista, se caracterizó por el desarrollo de un costumbrismo con especial énfasis en lo pintoresco y lo realista, abordándolos desde un punto de vista crítico y satírico En esta generación destacaron Mercedes Marín del Solar, Rosario Orrego, Vicente Pérez Rosales y José Joaquín Vallejo.

La de 1852 o generación romántico-social tuvo una postura más radical a la visión liberal que la generación anterior, presentando el pasado como ejemplo de rectificación del presente. En esta generación sobresalieron José Victorino Lastarria, Salvador Sanfuentes, Martín Palma, Eusebio Lillo, Guillermo Matta y Guillermo Blest Gana. En las décadas de 1950 y 1960, los autores chilenos volvieron a incursionar en la novela histórica. Y ya a partir de 1970, volcaron su mirada hacia los "momentos fundacionales, es decir, las etapas del descubrimiento, Conquista y, en general, el período colonial, lo que conlleva la relectura de los textos canónicos que dan cuenta de dichos proceso históricos, especialmente las crónicas, las relaciones, las cartas del conquistador, que constituyen los pretextos que serán deconstruidos por el discurso alternativo del creador literario" (Eddie Morales Piña. "Brevísima relación de la nueva novela histórica en Chile", Notas Históricas. En este nuevo renacer, la novela histórica basa su contenido en copiosa documentación. Asimismo, los autores chilenos leen disciplinadamente no sólo los libros de Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna, Francisco Encina y Jaime Eyzaguirre, entre otros, sino que también llevan a cabo una revisión completa de cartas, crónicas, diarios íntimos y de viajes.

Aún cuando surgen numerosas publicaciones, en Chile la tendencia no es tan acusada como en otros países de Latinoamérica. Según Mentor Seymour, "este fenómeno puede explicarse por la mayor preocupación de los novelistas chilenos contemporáneos por el pasado inmediato, o sea el golpe militar contra el gobierno de Allende en 1973, la dictadura de Pinochet y las experiencias en el exilio de varios novelistas" (La nueva novela histórica de la América Latina, 1979-1992. México: Fondo de Cultura Económica, 1993.

ROMATICISMO:

El romanticismo en Chile fue un fenómeno amplio, que formó parte de un contexto latinoamericano mayor, en el que predominó la idea de la construcción de la nación con un carácter utópico vinculado al liberalismo político. En el caso de las producciones escritas en Chile, el romanticismo se vinculó en su origen a la llegada de intelectuales argentinos hacia 1840 y al Movimiento Literario de 1842.

Durante la década de 1840, surgió en Chile una producción intelectual comprometida con la idea de la identidad nacional. Este fenómeno ha sido relacionado, por un lado, con el Discurso de incorporación a la Sociedad Literaria de José Victorino Lastarria (1817-1888), en el que abogó por la necesidad de una literatura de carácter local y, por otro, con el eco de ese llamado recogido por los intelectuales del Movimiento Literario de 1842.
