The Papelipolas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Los Papelípolas or The Papelipolas was a group of artists from Huila Department, in the Republic of Colombia arising in the year 1958. Their productions in the fields of theater, the narrative, the drawing, the cinema, the television and especially in the poetry, have been widely recognized and disseminated, even several decades after its dissolution. It was disbanded in the mid-1960s, and the components continued writing independently. The group's name is papel (paper in Spanish) and pola (cerveza or beer).

The components[]

The group's regular payroll poetic Los Papelípolas is limited to six authors: (highlighted in the fields of drama prize, winner in France, Spain, Costa Rica, among others, in film as screenwriter of the film ; librettist of radio, television and short film director and producer of La Cantina de José Dolores). The others were apathetic to the events and to the movies, but with valuable works: (pseudonym of Victor Manuel Cortes Vargas, poet, education engine in the Huila, and politician, author of Dimensions, 1963 and Xenias & Apophoretas of Menein Laos, 1994), (poet and current archbishop of House on the Rock, one of the forty most influential men of Colombia according to Semana magazine); (erotic poet and one of the first cartoonists Huila), (poet and politician, author of The concept of Grief, 1958, and Narration of the Living Faces, 1963) and (poet, bureaucrat, dedicated to political propaganda, author of Memory of Silence, 1988).

The themes and style of these poets were always very heterogeneous group, as their spiritual and political ideology.

Two of them, especially with shared affinities with the Beat Generation: and Luis Ernesto Luna.

The attribution of movement[]

The label of "movement", may be inaccurate. The ideals and artistic group shares similarities with the Beat Generation and . The papelípolas Angel Sierra Basto and alluded to Nirvana, the Upanishads, Buddhism, to free sexuality, alcohol and drugs as leaks. Other reasons given for giving the label of movement (as Colombian Beat generation, which it shares with the nothingness Antioquia), was that none of its members turned professional as a response to the educational model of unbridled capitalism. For some, a result of their political ideology, for others, economic limitations, but it is common. All this feeds the decadence French Huysmans (as evident in the prologue of dimensions of Angel Sierra Basto by and the Thebaid of Ananké), French writers Charles Baudelaire (Les Fleurs du mal), Gérard de Nerval, Arthur Rimbaud and Parnasianism of Paul Verlaine, also at Nicaraguan literary modernism Rubén Darío. Sierra Basto, the more Beat of all, tried to deconstruct the language with their , and other poems full of neologisms. Meanwhile, the founder of The Papelípolas, Gustavo Andrade was counter to provincial level, with his first , letter to Ramiro Bahamón by the poet to national poets gathered in Medellín in 1958, and published this year in the first of three group: Concept of Grief with poems , also with his essay Neiva needs a mayor who wants to Neiva and enjoying universal recognition plays like cutting.
