1. The recent Nobel prize for Literature, awarded to Robert Allen Zimmerman, or Bob Dylan, has had mixed reactions. On the one hand, tearing their garments, who would expect that recognition to outstanding authors in the branches of poetry, the novel, or, as a minimum, the test. Ironizan saying that at this step the Royal Swedish Academy awarded the desired recipient of the John Gabriel, obviously post-mortem. Regret that such figures as Borges, Kafka, Tolstoy, Cortázar never have received, taking…
2. … more deserts. However, if any discipline the human is ambiguous, the literature is between them and the top of the list, since it depends on a lot of the subjectivity of the one who admires. If to this we add that the recognition of many authors, depends on the friendship that you have with other colleagues, editors, jurors, and so on, we will end by saying that in tastes break genres. But Dylan is not questioned because his novels have little cadence theme, or their trials are devoid of scientific basis.
3. No. One criticism that has been granted that honor to a singer, who is noted for belonging to a movement, today in the misfortune, which is defined as music of protest in america, and that we must distinguish of the Latin american. In effect. Singers such as Dylan, plus Joan Baez, Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie, among others, spearheaded a proposal that, unlike singer-songwriters in Latin american as Violeta Parra, Victor Jara, and Alfredo Zitarrosa, who were opposed to u.s. imperialism, those with Dylan on the head…
4. … were against the us presence in Vietnam, and were the main supports of the hippie movement that preached peace and love. A song translated Dylan’s, "Blowin' in the wind," accompanied many spiritual retreats for young men eager to transform reality. Clear. It was the era of the seventies, with profound social changes all over the world, and that was propitious to the birth of experiences as a Theology of Liberation. The singing of religious-liberator was in Dylan one of their allies.
5. Today it is different. The songs of protest against the system have been replaced by a romanticism religious, top-down and oblivious to the conflict daily. The spirituality intimate and heavenly relies on songs that cause the crying, but not the insertion in the social dynamics; extracted sighs mellow of the young people, but they do not elicit desire for change; they decorate beautifully the liturgical celebrations, but prevent them from having any mordant on the problems that beset the community. These are different times, therefore.
6. On the other hand, we are also many of us rejoice with the award received by the author of "Like a rolling stone", however the shenanigans of singer-songwriter. I don’t know if the Swedish Academy, in recognizing Dylan, also sought to reassess the time. What is certain is that at least for the christian thought, the need to end the injustices that affect so many people, still urging, and his songs continue to criticándolas. How fitting for Dylan the Nobel prize? I don’t know. Do you accept it? It is also not clear. The answer is blowing in the wind…
7. the Close cyclone. There is, so far, two governors, and refugees. A pri and a pan. It is not possible to explain his escape without the complicity of the parties and of the authorities of the states they ruled. It is true that the desire of blood that grows in the public opinion does not help the establishment of fair culpability. They are already condemned without being still judged. But to escape, it denotes two things: either guilt or distrust in the impartiality of those who will judge them. What is worse?
