Magic realism uses tropes — for example, ghosts — not in a way that horror uses ghosts. It uses ghosts as a way of uncovering what has been buried. The ghosts are pointing to something that has been erased, and they are revealing themselves in the corporeal world in order for the living characters to finally discover and acknowledge it. Magical realism is a way of mythologizing something that has been forgotten, and in that mythology the reader is now unable to forget it, because it is now myth. And so magical realism is a savior of memory.

Soy mi proyecto más importante
Por Manuel Gómez Sabogal
El Viernes Santo, luego de la procesión del Viacrucis, nada mejor que charlar al calor de un café con la bella Mária Panesso Arias.
Allí, en una de las cafeterías del parque de Circasia, charlamos, escuché sus historias recientes, sus anécdotas, hablamos del amar y el querer.
Porque es emprendedora desde cuando la conozco. Estudiaba en la EAM y ya tenía una fábrica de…

Palacio de Lombillo
Como presagiando el venidero 2023, el imaginario de artistas cubanos fue convocado a evocar la figura de la Caridad del Cobre. Días después, los sacerdotes Ifá en su conocida letra del año, la señalaron como divinidad acompañante para este año, junto a Obattala o la Virgen de las Mercedes, como bien la sincretizaron nuestros…

COME L’HIV??? MA SIETE IMPAZZITƏ
Non lo so anon nell'originale lo prende "Manuel" ma siccome qui lo vogliono etero non ha molto senso con il resto della storia se gli danno questa trope (non che non se lo possa prendere, solo che lì c'era un contesto e tutte delle conseguenze che a sto punto dovrebbero ribaltare) ed effettivamente you know. Essendo stato in carcere non sarebbe una cosa tanto campata per aria

I’m constantly thinking about the Worst Female Killers in history, and how absolutely fucked up it all is. Violence coming up.
Jodi Arias is one of the most sadistic murders…
…what about Raymond Maltos? Or Jay Clark? Jake Notman? Sahil Khan who brutally murdered a 16 year old girl from Delhi? Ramzy Abidi, John Forajter, Justin Musonda who doesn’t even appear at the top of a google search despite his horrific crimes. What about Ager Hasan, who stabbed his girlfriend 47 times? He got a charge of 2nd degree manslaughter, and 16 years in prison. Why are these men not well known for being sadistic killers?
Aileen Wuornos is famous for being a female serial killer. A monster. The damsel of death. She killed 7 men, robbed them, and left them on the highway. She did not do anything perverted with their corpses…
…unlike Ershad Sikder, who tortured his victims. Or Manuel Delgado Villegas, who got off to murdering women and killed his girlfriend during sex. Or Ivan Milat, who used excessive violence and may have killed up to 37 people. There is Michael Wayne McGray, John Floyd Thomas- a serial rapist and murderer, Kenneth Erskine- raped and robbed elderly women in their homes, David Carpenter- killed women exclusively, Vladimir Kuzmin, Tommy Reco, Derrick Todd Lee, Tomas Maldonado Cera, Peter Manuel, Paul Durousseau, Todd Kohlhepp, Hu Daoping, Nikos Metaxas.
Why do we only hear about the women, when men do it far more frequently and violently? We expect this of men. We expect them to hunt us like prey, and no one bats an eye when they do, but god forbid a woman does something terrible. She’ll go down in history as a monster. These men are one of many, and their crimes are pushed under the rug, forgotten in a year- sometimes less than.
I do not like true crime. It is not something I touch because it is dark and I find it horrifying and sad. This research has been harrowing, and extremely telling. I do not touch true crime, yet I know who Jodi Arias is. I know who Aileen Wuornos is. I did not recognize a single name belonging to a man- not one.
