Lunedì 27 Maggio 2024 alle ore 20.30 il GdL "Chiave di Lettura", presso i locali della Biblioteca San Valentino, si incontrerà per discutere insieme del libro di Marcela Serrano “Dieci Donne”.

Nove donne più una. Nove donne radunate nello studio della loro psicoterapeuta raccontano la propria storia e le ragioni per le quali sono andate in terapia. Lupe, adolescente lesbica, alla ricerca della propria identità tra feste, sesso, droghe e passioni non proprio convenzionali; Luisa, vedova di un desaparecido, che per trent'anni aspetta il ritorno del suo unico amore; Andrea, giornalista di successo che si rifugia nella solitudine di Atacama, il deserto più arido del pianeta, sono alcune delle protagoniste di questo vivace romanzo che parla di donne e di sentimenti. Seppur profondamente diverse per età, estrazione sociale e ideologia politica, scopriamo che le loro esperienze si richiamano e che la vera protagonista del romanzo è la femminilità.

Marcela Serrano (1951) è una scrittrice cilena, figlia della romanziera Elisa Pérez Walker e del saggista Horacio Serrano, ed è la quarta di cinque sorelle, con due delle quali trascorre un anno a Parigi per studiare alla "Maison des Amériques". Nel 1973, a causa del golpe militare, lascia il Cile e si trasferisce in Italia a Roma. Nel 1977 rientra definitivamente in Cile. Si iscrive alla facoltà di Belle Arti della Pontificia Universit�� Cattolica del Cile, ottenendo il diploma in incisione nel 1983. In seguito lavora in diversi ambiti delle arti visive, vincendo anche un premio del Museo delle Belle Arti per un lavoro sulle donne del sud del Cile, ma presto abbandona queste attività. Sebbene cominci a scrivere molto presto, pubblica il suo primo romanzo, “Noi che ci vogliamo così bene”, nel 1991. Il romanzo è la rivelazione dell'anno e vince nel 1994 il Premio Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, il Premio Feria del Libro de Guadalajara e nel 1996 il premio della casa editrice francese Coté des Femmes, come miglior romanzo ispanoamericano scritto da una donna. Nel 1993 pubblica “Para que no me olvides”, che ottiene il Premio Municipal de Literatura , a Santiago del Cile. Nel 1995 scrive in Guatemala “Antigua, Vita Mia” e nel 1997 “L'albergo delle donne tristi”. Marcela Serrano è una delle figure più rinomate e significative della nuova narrativa del suo paese e dell'America Latina. Ha vissuto in Messico col marito, Luis Maira Aguirre, e le loro due figlie, Elisa e Margarita, poiché il marito è stato ambasciatore del Cile in Messico e Belize fino al 2003 e dal 2004 al 2010 ambasciatore in Argentina.

(Monument to Micaela Bastidas, Abancay, Peru)

Micaela Bastidas - Strategist of the Túpac Amaru rebellion

Micaela Bastidas (c.1744-1781) was, depending on the version, born in Pampamarca or Abancay, Peru. She was the illegitimate daughter of Josepha Puyucahua and Don Manuel de Bastidas. Her father was either a local man of black heritage or a priest.

A devout catholic, Micaela received little formal education and spoke Quechua better than Spanish. She was said to have been a beautiful young woman with a thin neck. In 1760, she married José Gabriel Condorcanqui Noguera, also known as Túpac Amaru II (1738-1781) and later gave birth to three sons.

Her husband claimed that he was a direct descendent of the last Inca sovereigns and grew bitter at the oppression faced by the native Peruvians under Spanish rule. He thus decided to start a rebellion in November 1780.

Micaela first helped raise troops. She personally wrote letters and threatened the indigenous leaders who refused to support them. A skilled propagandist, she convinced many to join the cause. She handled military logistics well: paying the troops, managing the supplies, ensuring discipline, posting sentinels and watching for spies. A talented military strategist, she concerned herself with securing roads and bridges. Micaela could be merciless, punishing or executing those who resisted. She also acted as a kind of judge and handled the relations with the church. Since she didn’t know how to write, she was helped by scribes.

A number of women worked with her, including her sister-in-law, Cecilia Túpac Amaru. A particularly skilled warrior woman was Tomasa Tito Condemayta (1729-1781), the governor of Acos. One of the main instigators of the revolt, Tomasa personally led her men into battle and had left everything behind, including her husband. The name of thirteen others women leaders are known, including Marcela Castro Pnyncahua, who fell in battle. Female participation wasn’t only found at the top of the rebellion, thousands of women took part in battle and fought bravely, often to the death. Many of them joined the fray with rocks and clubs.

When she heard that Túpac Amaru needed help, Micaela reportedly said: “I will die where my husband dies” and rushed to his side. She personally commanded troops in at least four major battles. She advised her husband to attack Cuzco, but he finally lifted the siege. Relieved of pressure there, the Spanish moved on to the rebel headquarters. Micaela, her husband, and almost all the rebel leaders were captured in 1781. 

After a trial, Micaela was sentenced to be executed in a particularly brutal manner, but didn’t beg for mercy during the time her ordeal lasted. Tomasa Tito Condemayta was also executed, but was said to “have died with all the dignity possible”.

Peruvian poet Victor Santander Caselli wrote the following poem in Micaela’s honor:

You are forgotten by the very same nation

That flowered from the branch of your sainted effort.

There is no monument that can portray your spirit

Nor can any memory be worthy of your heart.

Period Piece Lesbian Romances: Gentleman Jack (2019) and Elisa and Marcela (Elisa y Marcela) (2019)

HBO and Netflix are some of my go to areas for quality content. In the last few months, both networks have syndicated period pieces about taboo lesbian relationships. The first from HBO is a BBC made TV series called “Gentleman Jack” based on the diaries of LGBT pioneer Anne Lister. The second is a Spanish film that competed at the Berlin Film Festival about the first recorded gay marriage called “Elisa and Marcela”. For this post, I would like to compare how both programs portray their lesbian relationship and reflecting the mannerisms of the era.

For the first time on this blog, I’m reviewing an active television series, but when it comes to comparing similar content from the film medium, how can I pass up this opportunity? Sally Wainwright’s adaptation of Anne Lister’s diaries is done very tastefully and doesn’t go overboard with the sex scenes. Anne Lister (Suranne Jones) and her partner Ann Walker (Sophie Rundle) couldn’t look any more different. Lister dresses in black and looks like a Tim Burton creation and Ann Walker is the carbon copy of a Jane Austen heroine. But it’s those contrasting features that makes the relationship flourish on screen. Everything from their dialogues, to the make out scenes are all done in Romantic era poise and grace. Both Jones and Rundle are breaths of fresh air and never disappoint in making their characters stand out in the rigid world of upper class customs. The close contacts, the fighting and the moments of commiseration were very realistic. Even as the show got snubbed by the Emmy Awards, it still remains a standout in the ever-growing movement of British period piece programs reaching America and I look forward to the coming seasons.

On the other hand, “Elisa and Marcela” was a tepid and almost pretentious look at its title heroines who look and sound exactly the same. Unlike the differences in both Anne Lister and Ann Walker, both title characters (Natalia de Molina and Greta Fernandez) look like twins. There were times where I couldn’t tell who was who. Even as Elisa donned the “Mario” persona and looking like Anne Lister, I still wasn’t convinced it was a worthy disguise. Then, there was the contemporary mannerisms of said characters. Was this a legitimate period piece or a game of dress up? They got the background costumes and art direction down well, but Elisa and Marcela stuck out like sore thumbs. The make out scenes, like “Gentleman Jack”, were not overdone, were beautifully filmed and the actresses seemed to get heavily involved in the plot. Outside of that though, the dialogues were contrived, unrealistic and stilted. Like so many disappointing films I’ve seen, I can tell the actors did their best, but the director, Isabel Coixet, didn’t do enough to make the era stand out and instead used black and white photography, old film reel filters and iris effects to mask the imperfections. 

While both programs did a good job at showing the romantic contact, they differed on character mannerisms and the plot executions. It just shows that while the premises are nearly identical, the way in which their director/showrunners added their artistic touch, but with stark differences in the final product.
