Perón mediante
Sinopsis del Libro
Eva Peron (1919-1952) was the First Lady of Argentina from 1946 until her death in 1952. Often referred to as "Evita," she was never an officially elected political figure, but by her husband's second term as President, she had become the most powerful woman in the history of her nation. By the 1960s, Evita was an international pop-culture icon; in the 1970s, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice wrote the blockbuster musical Evita about her; and in the mid-90s, the musical was adapted to a movie starring Madonna. This small, chunky paperback features all manner of vintage graphic treatments from the era of Evita--from candid portraits with her husband and two poodles to futuristic airplane designs to children's books which used the letters of her name to teach spelling. As Jorge Luis Borges once said, "Peronists are neither good nor bad, they are incorrigible." Pruébelo Ud. mismo. Reúna dos o más argentinos y en la mitad de la charla, diga la palabra mágica "Perón". Inmediatamente habrán de aglutinarse o repulsarse de manera drástica y definitiva. Es en extremo difícil que sean ajenos o imparciales al tema propuesto. Es que el "ser argentino" (la argentinidad) y el "ser peronista", dos condiciones de difícil definición, no parecen estar contingentemente escindidas entre sí. El peronismo, convertido en sentimiento, trasciende la historia y la ideología. Desde el desprejuicio político, y como parte de nuestra política de recolección sistemática de material gráfico, rescatamos aquí algunos cientos de muestras de lo que podemos llamar la estética peronista en su estado de máxima pureza. íDisfrútelo, compañero!
