WORDS OF AMATEUR

These pages are the translation of the text read in French at the University of Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint-Denis, 15 March 2011, to receive honorary doctorate . The French original can be read in " http://www.box.net/shared/fd63s51uoo "

be the subject of honored as this act is devoted thing is the danger of losing some critical sense. Jump in the eyes of anyone who is a great honor, but from my very personal point of view, I fail to convince me that it deserved. What might be called, without insisting too much on the end, my work, I never thought that as a profession. I've had in my lifetime that can be considered professional activities: as a teacher, translator, etc. I do not think these activities have been able to point me to some distinction. There is perhaps true professionalism in writing. I can imagine this or that novelist preparing hard to produce his novel, research, reports, making plans and doing tests, in short, doing real work. As for me, I never felt that worked when he wrote. There are, of course, an effort, but so is when you make love, not that I can represent sex as a job. That, among other things, would be entitled to remuneration. And you guess what makes me think that.

This idea of \u200b\u200bliterature as possible, put it into practice even in the material reality, and this is how I attacked often against the wishes of the majority of my colleagues, the dominant doctrines about what they call wrongly in my view, intellectual property. I confess that this attitude is easier to take when writing a particular poem, but in my case, I have not been much more professional when writing prose. My own tests pose very little academic work, my goal was getting to a real test in the full sense of the term, the opposite of a treaty or a study. Writing is for me an act that is more like a gesture of love than a job, if not exactly neither the one nor the other. This way of settling the premise also seems not to compromise, however, as to the real work. Well there, I firmly believe it is imperative to relentlessly claiming workers' rights.

RUSSIAN DOLLS

Dear Matthias Vegoso:

course I'm not surprised you were not on day 8 in the Zocalo of Mexico participating in the peace march, and I'll tell you, even if you miss, your argument that the movement "for peace" are too vague or too " ethereal, as the Secretary of the Interior, would seem reasonable. It's just that I do not find sufficient reason for not supporting such movements. When one is facing a corruption so widespread as in Mexico, it is difficult to generalize. Concrete evils, as numerous as rooted, the whole world knows. The trouble is we do not know where to start. The six points proposed by the movement are actually somewhat heterogeneous mixed criticism and complaints with the demands and proposals, and the latter are a bit in the air or not associated with how to implement them. The problems of modern democracies are like Russian dolls: if you uncover one, inside is another, and within that another, and so on, and also mostly in the form of vicious circle.

is not difficult to point out errors thicker than "War of Calderon." There are many indications that organized crime is infiltrating many or all layers of institutions, including corporate institutions. That would be impossible to turn the judiciary was deeply corrupted, as has been shown many times publicly, provided of course without receiving an echo, but frequent persecution and threats. The recent case of documentary Presumed Guilty is highly significant. Shamefully maneuvering to prevent its spread, authorities have said they are complicit in the corruption of judges and police and are determined to prosecute citizens who try to resist. Throw into the street armed forces without being purified by the police, army, navy and judiciary was insane imprudence resulting could not be other than what we're seeing. And in this doll is another, which is laundering money, and within that another is the arms trade (Operation Fast and Furious should suffice, if the world were fair, to fall together the governments of Mexico and U.S.) and in that there is another that is tax fraud and tax exemptions. Where to begin?

jump into the more general or more "ethereal" to observe that the original sin of democracy is the lack of education. Nothing is worse than the government of the ignorant, obtuse and blind. For the people, demos , can rule would be educated and trained. Vicious circle: only a mature democracy and development could educate the people. This is what you see in the very history of modern times. The first attempts, in England, democratic methods, reserving the vote for literate men and property owners. It was later extended voting rights to the poor, but not women. How unfair from our perspective, but is that democracy had to stop the democratic vote would serve to implement an undemocratic government. Still in the Second English Republic Victoria Kent opposed the women's vote to keep the Church won power. Maybe those ideas were not so clueless, and surely we see now all over the "people" vote at the polls by undemocratic leaders, which apply, of course, to dismantle democratic education, making this his circle vicious victorious? And that at the time of those fearful Democrats had no television. Another doll inside another doll, because in Mexico, as everywhere but big time, television is the most poisonous diseducator.

Where do you start then? Why bite denounce widespread impunity of police and military, the arbitrariness of the judges, fraud tax? Or perhaps the irresponsibility of deputies and senators (another Russian doll), or the immorality of political parties? You know as well as I do to start with either of these points the first barrier is fear. Mexico is terrified for years now, but would have to repeat every day Calderón most everyday fear of Mexican drug trafficker or not the kidnapper, but the police, the military, the judge, the official authority. A fear that comes from afar, long before the drug became the national nightmare, nothing more worried as a Mexican honored to do to approach a policeman. The first steps security that power should implement, because they are the ones directly in their hands, would be against the insecurity of the power itself. Who does not feel safe from the police or a judge, how will you believe that the police and the judge will allow safe from a criminal?

So what to do? Marching for peace is very possible that no avail. When in Mexico has been a civil right movement anyone resign? The few resignations that occur are the result of political mechanisms. Do I have to organize politically so that movement? I do not I think. With that enter into the give and take of professional politics and a slice it would behoove the movement. But what about that? The convening power that has so far come from precisely that citizens perceive with unusual clarity that now no one is looking for a slice. Marching In "for peace" is perhaps too vague and general, but from that generally unpolluted partisan interests and specific civic events could be organized long enough to lose the fear and while not aspire to take power or part of it. In my view, they should not be left blackmail you insinuating the prosecution not to propose anything concrete. Require Bury, accountable and democratic enough explanations are actions, and whether those groups at some point people begin to propose solutions too will have to be in the context of these demands and explanations. The government says it accepts dialogue, but dialogue that would not say to a group: "You talk, dinner and go to your house." And for now the move is already having a negligible value, educational value, because education stifles the undemocratic power is not only schools and universities, but most notably public education that gives only citizen dialogue. If only for that, no Peace March has been "ethereal."

A not so ethereal embrace your friend
