- 0:05Goodbye goes equally course. Well, road direction medium taken to reach the end,
- 0:12proposed set of data that indicate the way to reach a place or that
- 0:17we are leaving, direction that is given in writing to Maria Viejo German in
- 0:22order to a book that contains a defeat then a line marked on the map
- 0:27of tides to guide the pilots. Rotate your course, leave, rotate courses
- 0:39two, think walking with Santiago Albarico, think through words. We are going
- 0:48through the alphabet and I believe that today we have reached the q Santiago,
- 0:53we have taken to the cu Javier Good morning, happy to hear you again
- 0:59ideas, the same for chosen from that letter so reduced in words, reducing
- 1:07the same has very appetizing words that I like very much, like kicio,
- 1:10which is the beautiful word, or kincaya or kilate, and I was about
- 1:15to bow down for chimera, and I think it was a lot of play
- 1:21and allowed us to make wide and deep tours, but in the end I
- 1:29have ended up deciding for the word quebranto guau that also sounds like a breach
- 1:34sounds like what is accurate. That I think is one of those words that
- 1:36comes not only inside, but outside the bodily mental catastrophe that it describes and
- 1:48it is a really very beautiful word and I fear that we live in times
- 1:53of breakdown. So, I thought it was appropriate to choose her so that
- 1:59we could talk about her honor where she came from, because Mira comes from
- 2:07the vulgar Latin, crepanting the already sounds hard and that she wanted to say
- 2:10something like break with violence, even crush or destroy completely. And this crepantar
- 2:15in turn came from the lachin of worship. Believe that it includes a sound,
- 2:23because it means cracking, something that rips or breaks, but it has
- 2:28been accompanied by a cracking or a moaning And there it sees, for example,
- 2:32cracking and cracking, of course, or disagreeing or increpit, as well
- 2:38as all forms derived from or affinity to break as they can be bankruptcy,
- 2:45break or break. All words, in my opinion, very nice and interesting.
- 2:49I, who know the Italian language quite well, suddenly remembered that the
- 2:53most normal, most common form, also with a little less serious, but
- 2:59very hard to refer to death, to someone who dies, to say someone
- 3:05who believes. Believe that it clearly picks up the Latin verb and in this
- 3:12case it means dying in such a way that it carries. I believe that
- 3:16to the extreme the internal logic of this word, of this harsh word is
- 3:27shocking. How other languages are spoken, because Mira was watching my searches,
- 3:31because I think it' s a complicated word to translate. I think that
- 3:36fool can be said the same breach or breach in Catalan crebant that I think
- 3:43is used in Catalan of this century, since the fifteenth century and good search.
- 3:46I have many doubts, because each love a language that is much less
- 3:50familiar, since it is not a language of romance, but by sound,
- 3:54I keep to myself that I do not know if it reproduces exactly the sense
- 4:01that it has in Spanish and that you and I immediately perceive when we knew
- 4:05the word of bankruptcy. Sure, because what does it mean to us what
- 4:09is a breach? Sure, that' s it, what' s a
- 4:11break? And then I would think, for example, who uses this word
- 4:15or nun do this word. And I always remember that two songs the most
- 4:19famous and the most beautiful and the most shocking of the great violet vine that
- 4:26we have ever entered I believe in some conversation that are thanks to life.
- 4:30You will not remember that in one of the stanzas I gave thanks to life,
- 4:34which has given me so much, has given me the laugh and has
- 4:38given me the cry. It' s been a difference of bliss from a
- 4:42breach. The two materials that form my song, so that Orita Parra clearly
- 4:46opposes that I roar to such a breach. Therefore, unhappiness adds up the
- 4:54sumo suffering. And then in the other song, this kind of love spite
- 5:00conultrapoint, which is one of the last to write curse of the high sky.
- 5:04That is a beautiful song, because in other stanzas I curse spring with
- 5:10its gardens in bloom and of autumn the color. I really curse the passing
- 5:15cloud, I curse it so much and so much, because I am assisted
- 5:21by a curse in the whole winter with summer, liar, baldigo, profane
- 5:28and holy. How much my pain will be and the word that measures that
- 5:34pain, that gives all the measure of that pain is the broken word.
- 5:42So that' s much more, because if you look at the rae that
- 5:45speaks of fainting, peria, of strength, of fall or dejection. While
- 5:49breaking, when defining the root, break, then introduces the ruture, the
- 5:58creak, the accusation, the destruction through violence, the noun. I believe
- 6:04that as the Rael says, it does not reflect the content of the verb
- 6:10it is. I believe what we all hear when we pronounce the word broken
- 6:16something like a total destruction, at the same time of the body and especially
- 6:23of pipe, by the body and the soul, but I would say that
- 6:26above all of dawn, because it is one of those situations. A breach
- 6:30breaks the health, for it is true, but a breach like an absolute
- 6:34and total gloom of the being of the spirit and, obviously, when the
- 6:44spirit completely clauds the body accompanies it. Of course, for me it'
- 6:47s like breaking out of pain. It' s not breaking pain and being
- 6:53broken. It' s not just that it' s hard to glue the
- 6:59pieces back to glue when it' s broken and vocho. It' s
- 7:02just that, thinking of this definition or what it suggests to me, I
- 7:08think it' s a very Flemish word. It seems to me that flamenco,
- 7:11like blues, in part sings the total breakdown. I think you'
- 7:15re right. I' m fond of flamenco, but I don' t
- 7:19know them very well to pronounce later, but I think it' s a
- 7:24word that' s why I think it' s a very intimate word of
- 7:30our history, of our difficult history that has to do, in fact,
- 7:33since we talk about flamenco with flamencos. Flamenco in part is associated with the
- 7:39gypsies, who are also a historically broken minority and look at it. I
- 7:46was thinking a little bit about this when I was thinking about the broken word
- 7:51and the one I threw the word Branto. I was thinking of the beginning
- 7:56of one of the most universal novels in the history written by living of Cervantes,
- 8:03of telling Quixote that you remember beginning by giving information about the place of
- 8:09La Mancha, whose name I don' t want to remember I saw a
- 8:13hidalgo that is talking about the shipyard. He speaks of what he immediately came
- 8:18from, speaks of what he eats, of what Don Quixote eats, which
- 8:20he will be immediately, Don Quixote, who is your ally in sun quijano
- 8:24and as this one hates of something more cow than ram squid, the most
- 8:31nights duels and breaks, Saturdays in tiles, Fridays and some popcorn in addition,
- 8:39on Sundays. So, of course, this sentence is one of those
- 8:43that serves as a doctor Castro, who you know completely subverts into the whole
- 8:52vision of the history of Spain and of Hispanic philology, into a famous confrontation
- 9:00Sánchez alborno Castro, in a book of sixty- seven called Cervantes and Spanish
- 9:05punishments, begins with this phrase wondering and devils for what gesture of mourning and
- 9:11breakdowns and why he eats mourning and brokenness? He is quijote look at that
- 9:18same dish at the same time. And now I' m telling you what
- 9:20' s in it. They called it the mercy of God, the old
- 9:24Christians. What was great eggs contos I think is still somewhere in La Mancha
- 9:28eggs with bacon or turrets i e eggs accompanied by pork. Christians relieved the
- 9:37mercy of God. Why don quijote calls that dish that was commonly known as
- 9:46the mercy of God duels and breaks. And then there. From there,
- 9:52Américo Castro, for he looks for the Jewish origins of Cervantes. I think
- 10:01it' s very justified. It is that I am now finishing again the
- 10:03fascinated and clear quijote, I have been looking for all these traces of which
- 10:11Aérico Castro speaks and then Ovidente, for example, sancho film car with pride
- 10:16to himself five or six times throughout the novel, both in the first and
- 10:20second part, as an old Christian. Don Quixote never, ever defines himself
- 10:26as a Christian, but never adds this old age that was fundamental. That
- 10:31is, that somehow everyone wanted to be old Christians, because being suspicious of
- 10:37the new Christian was becoming suspicious of crypto Judaism or crypto Islamism. And then
- 10:46good, because Americo Castro' s thesis, as you will remember, is
- 10:52that what destroys at the same time that it melts in Spain is called the
- 10:58Spanish Castitisms and, obviously, above all, the brutal triumph of the Christian
- 11:03caste over the Jews and Muslims who will soon be Moorish and that this in
- 11:13the Cervantes he explores it through a little bit of the relationship between Sancho and
- 11:22Don Quixote, which and there he sees because Castro, of course, of
- 11:30Luis Vives, speaks, of course, of Saint Teresa, who was of
- 11:35Jewish origin or of German mateo, that he also of the Jewish gene.
- 11:39It is very clearly in Quixote, on the one hand, a strange Christianity,
- 11:45it is a less legalistic Christianity, a more intimate Christianity, a Christianity,
- 11:50ultimately, which was more associated with neo- Christians, that is,
- 11:56those who came from Judaism well as from Islam. And what Castruns says is
- 12:03that somehow against what was the logic of this period, which was, in
- 12:11effect, the persecution of Jews and Moors by those of old Christians. The
- 12:20Quijote is a work in which Cervantes tries, by his own origin, to
- 12:26reconcile through the figure of Sancho and de quijote, to reconcile old Christians with
- 12:33new Christians. And it seems to me that it is a very beautiful thesis
- 12:39and that it is held in a very plausible way And if not carefully the
- 12:45one that of course applies half a helmet to the whole history of Spain to
- 12:52denounce this savage triumph of the Christian caste over the Jews used in a thousand
- 13:01four hundred ninety- two and over the Muslims who had been defeated in a
- 13:07thousand four hundred ninety- two. Also yes, savage victory that has erased
- 13:11absolutely the traces of both of them, as if they had not passed by
- 13:16when, moreover, they were more time in the peninsula in some cases,
- 13:22like that of the Muslims, governing it more than the time that we have
- 13:28been as a Christian peninsula and yes, of course, as a nation Spanish
- 13:35State, much more. That is so, and well, because that doubt,
- 13:37we owe it a little bit to Américo Castro is a work that has
- 13:41followed in Villacañas recently looking for all these traces, because our culture has somehow
- 13:50been made by Jews. It' s just those for Moors, too.
- 13:54We' ll talk about it because look at our two great mystic poets of
- 14:00the Golden century, who are a Jew and a Moorish, Teresa, etc,
- 14:05and John of yeps, that is, you' re Santa Teresa and
- 14:07San Juan de la Cruz. There are doubts that, as is always known
- 14:13when someone holds this thesis of Judaism or the Muslim character Muslim origin that one
- 14:22of our great ones, because it always generates raise dicks among those who have
- 14:26an imperial vision identity of Spain. But, it seems obvious the Sufi mystical
- 14:33influence on the work of St John of the Vera Cruz. You know the
- 14:41Sufism in the Luz band was very powerful until you think of Miguel Arabi and
- 14:48the influence that comes to radi in San Juan de la Cruz is very evident.
- 14:52Then hear one thing about Don Quixote, who was Christian Morisco. We
- 14:56do not know that it was the well- founded proposal of Castro, it
- 15:07is that Don Quixote himself was a Christian, a new Christian and, of
- 15:11course, that Cervantes was a new Christian. There are great doubts and arguments,
- 15:18not inchsto, because of course this current of very imperialist history that has
- 15:26grown around an eagle and the inquisition, because it refuses a little to accept
- 15:31that the greatest in the name of our literature, because it had an origin
- 15:35in a Jewish origin. In any case, to my reading daughter it seems
- 15:39entirely legitimate, and that the quijote is full not only of traces and traces,
- 15:46let us say in crypto beans, it is also full of allusions to
- 15:52that moment of history that you are seeing Cervantes. While writing the first and
- 15:58second part of the quijote note the first part just before the expulsion to the
- 16:06Frank of one thousand six hundred five or before the expulsion of the Moors,
- 16:11but the proposal to expel them is already in the Court of Philip III.
- 16:19Things have happened that I will now immediately tell you make it that when you
- 16:26write the first part in the Moorish community you are at imminent risk of exculpation
- 16:33and there are traces in the first part of this Moorish culture. Remember,
- 16:37for example, this in chapter eight of how much Quixote is interrupted, because
- 16:44there is no one who is telling it. But he has no more testimonies
- 16:49than what has happened to Don Quixote when he is about to cross his swords
- 16:53with the Biscay and the next chapter, because that narrator walks through the market
- 17:02of the silks of Toledo, of silk was a specialty of the Moorish and
- 17:07there he finds a letter writing. It says in Arabic Arabic Arabic letters and
- 17:15what it translates and by chance is the continuation of the adventures of Don Quixote
- 17:22de la Mancha, written by an Arab author who syvially benengeliz and well,
- 17:30there are several seals, in the first part, several allusions to something that
- 17:34has happened very recently that reveals this terrible tragedy of the Moors, the imminence
- 17:41of their exculpation and the sanudous persecution throughout the 17th century, after the capitulations
- 17:45of Granada, which is the superstory. This fantastic lead of the Sacromonte,
- 17:53Miguel de Luna and other Moors of the Spanish Court worry about the imminent expulsion
- 18:00of the Moors and to try to reconcile the new Christians and the old ones,
- 18:10because they deposit a series of lead boxes in the Sacromonte, where there
- 18:15are relics, because Philip II, who was then in Philip II, was
- 18:18already very fond of relics, like Señuelo, because the alleged relics of the
- 18:23Virgin and the Apostle Santiago, accompanied by an Apochrist Gospel of Santiago, in
- 18:30which Santiago would anticipate the arrival of the Arabs, would already speak well of
- 18:36the Muslims and suggest a synchronous doctrine between Christianity and the Issamen. Of course,
- 18:44then, Philip II entered the rag initially because of his interest in adding
- 18:48to his collection of relics a piece of the Virgin Mary' s cloak.
- 18:55But, because that did not finally prevent that and in the second part of
- 18:59the son it has already occurred in the expulsion. Once we' ve talked,
- 19:03you won' t remind him of Pedro Ricote in chapter. I think
- 19:08it is fifty- four of the second part, when Sancho Panza returns from
- 19:15the vinsula that he has abandoned, because not because he has understood how rough
- 19:25and dark the government is and along the way, returning to the house of
- 19:29the Dukes to meet with Don Quixote, because he is reconso with some German
- 19:36pilgrims. Among the German pilgrims who are hiding a former neighbour of his village,
- 19:41that this returning Pedro Ricote returns trying to recover some jewels that he left
- 19:48buried near his house before being expelled from his land, from his natural homeland.
- 19:53As he says, and we continue to last our natural homeland enters clandestinely,
- 20:02as today so many North Africans enter clandestinely in their own country to try
- 20:11to recover some jewels. It is a very sad and very beautiful scene of
- 20:14the quijote. But what has happened at this time, for what is true
- 20:17in the 16th century, for there has been an increasingly severe and cruel persecution
- 20:25against the burisque culture. You know that in a thousand four hundred and ninety
- 20:33- two, because Granada falls and forces itself to convert those who Muslims who
- 20:41want to remain are forced to become sign In all cases, and you touch
- 20:45capitulations with Queen Elizabeth the Catholic, in which she commits herself to respect her
- 20:51culture, her dress, her language right away. In the year 1,
- 20:57500 ten named to r UAs of Granada of Cardinal Cisneros and Burns four zero
- 21:03manuscripts in Arabic language. All the free culture that was preserved in the city
- 21:08of Granada, in the Kingdom of Granada, except the books of medicine,
- 21:14because you say this that Cisneros, which was known to us, a fruitfully
- 21:18intolerant name that persecuted in this way burning its culture to Muslims or neo-
- 21:26Christians of Muslim origin, will have called Moors. For, however, when
- 21:30he became seriously ill in the year 1, 500 two and having found no
- 21:37solution among the Christian doctors, he called a medical healer, because, as
- 21:44we know from Silvia Federiti, the doctors of the middle ages and of the
- 21:51rebirth because they have been called healers. She called a Muslim healer who cured
- 21:57Cisneros. In any case, the persecution of SNS during the entire century and
- 22:02thousand five hundred eight, try to prohibit the clothes and the feasts, but
- 22:07the law is not applied and if it is applied, finally in one thousand
- 22:14five hundred sixty- seven, a pragmatic sanction of Philip II in which it
- 22:19prohibits everything, that is, it prohibits the public toilets, the use of
- 22:25the tongue, the zambras and dances Moorish, the clothes of Arab style,
- 22:30to go to the women to prepare themselves, that is, to use the
- 22:36agenda that used it and continue to use it for the eyes and for very
- 22:41elaborate and very beautiful covisory tattoos, and the obligation without leaving open the doors
- 22:45of the houses. Fridays and Sundays. Why do you travel on Sundays to
- 22:48make sure that Fridays is Muslim Day, the Muslim Holy Day, they did
- 22:56not secretly practice within the house Muslim religious ceremonies and on Sundays to make sure
- 23:02they practiced Christian ceremonies. And that included that we can fight and break.
- 23:11That included making sure that the Moors, say, new Christians of Muslim origin,
- 23:19ate pork into the pot that was still in the 17th century in Cuenca.
- 23:26I remember with my students in Tunisia having read the summary of a trial
- 23:34of poor residents of Cuenca who had been denounced for not throwing pork into the
- 23:41cook because changing your shirt or cleaning the house on Friday or not throwing pork
- 23:48in the boil immediately made you suspicious of heretical religious practices in secret. That
- 24:02means then that the duels and Saturday breaks that were said at the beginning of
- 24:04the quijote refers to that of course, the duels and what forts was this,
- 24:10because, it is one of the rags that you find clear you know
- 24:15that Jews and more humans share these taboos of meat, of pork. There
- 24:19is no Colombian writer called had the Bibliovicz who remembered talking about this initial class
- 24:25of the quijote that in that first few lines speaks of duels and breakdowns on
- 24:33Fridays. In this case you in sure forgiveness on Saturday, or be duels
- 24:37and torantos on Saturdays, lentils on Fridays and palominos on Sundays and says typical
- 24:44moriscos, It was eating lentils on Fridays and typical Christians, Was eating palomino
- 24:48on Sundays and Saturdays? Obviously, only a Jew forced to eat eggs with
- 25:00torrents. I would call that dish duels and breaches and not the mercy of
- 25:06God and by putting them with a few lines are collected and you want,
- 25:10the three, the pedroligions, the attempt, once again of Cervantes, to
- 25:17include the three, the three religions, So then Don Quixote would be Jewish
- 25:21on Saturdays, Muslim on Fridays and Christian on Sundays. That' s exactly
- 25:26what the castro and acre and the video want to suggest. Well, why
- 25:33else would you want to talk about breakups and what other breakups can we talk
- 25:37about? Well, I wanted to talk about breaking into you and then moving
- 25:41it to obviously, to the present. Not without remembering, in any case,
- 25:45that the Boriscos produced a literature still very unknown part of the letural jamiada
- 25:53that they wrote in Spanish, but with letters, with Arabic letters. There
- 25:59is a Puerto Rican dora that has an excellent book called The Secret Literature of
- 26:04the Last Muslims of Spain, which is published in the publishing house Trota and
- 26:07is already called Luce López Baralt who has researched this secret literature, who were
- 26:14writing in Aljamiado the Moors before and after the expulsion, even in Tunisia.
- 26:22Those who take refuge in Tunisia continue to write in Aljamiado. Their language is
- 26:26already Spanish and they are obliged to renounce Arabic, but they continue to write
- 26:33with the alphabet, with the alphabet acade And it is curious there you have
- 26:37a Spanish sutra bed that can be seen on the oranical tracks with sonnets by
- 26:44López de Vega and perhaps the most important figure that is this young man of
- 26:48Arevalo, whose was a man. We do not know, that he is
- 26:52an exceptional author who really does have literary status and who knows, of course,
- 26:57both in the Arab sources and the one who are already his close.
- 27:03He has read the celestial, he has read German then and he provides direct
- 27:14testimonies of what the Moorish think at that time. There is like a chronicle
- 27:18and journalistic in which he asks the victims of the fall of Granada and tells
- 27:26how with the tragedy of losing their city and denounce the Catholic kings who betrayed
- 27:30themselves in the most jealous way the generous capitulations of one thousand four hundred and
- 27:37ninety. I am writing about Aljamiado, who I did not know and the
- 27:41book of the secret literature of the last Muslims of Spain has seemed very interesting
- 27:48to me. All this has reminded me of a program that we did not
- 27:51so much with Alberto San Juan, precisely on the erasure of those other two
- 27:56cultures that shared land with the Christian as little by little from the kings that
- 28:00tolics from now on, were imposing increasingly restrictive rules until they eliminated, from
- 28:06the face of the earth, from the Spanish land, all the cultural traces
- 28:11of Muslims and Jews. Clear truth, yes, they were reconverted in the
- 28:18most stealth way, they put their heads out here and there, in our
- 28:25best voices, but they were totally removed, let' s say, eradicated
- 28:32from public life. Well, the story, yeah, it' s not
- 28:34over. I do not say that the history of Spain consists precisely of this
- 28:42persecution. Sañuda at least half of the Spaniards, always in one form or
- 28:49another, were Moors, or were Jews, or Lutherans, or were illuminists,
- 28:56or were later, because they were anarchists or reds and communists. And
- 29:03you tell him very well in your Book of Spain, in which you speak
- 29:07of the castes of Spanish chastism, which has been eliminating the rest of castes,
- 29:11leaving in the end the hegemonic one in a process that we can call
- 29:15ethnic cleansing, which, evidently, remembers what is happening now at home.
- 29:19Exactly there. I wanted to finish once more, because it is that we
- 29:22all carry it in our hearts and since we can do nothing but to speak
- 29:27and repeat always the same well. I too believe that at the moment,
- 29:32on the eve of the lessons of Europeans, it must be remembered that in
- 29:34these European elections something is also at stake that has to do with everything I
- 29:37have said, and it is the construction of an internal enemy and that those
- 29:44European elections, while Metan Yahus continues with his genocide, somehow contributes to generating
- 29:51a new Jew in Europe, who are no longer the Jews, but that
- 29:57the Jews were neither the Jews, they were the internal enemy, like the
- 30:02Muslims. And we see how, in these European elections, immigration is pursued
- 30:10by the ultra- rights Islamophobic. Those who want to enter a land that
- 30:15we could share are somehow the object of all their hate speech and, unfortunately,
- 30:25with growing and remarkable success, we are again building an internal enemy and
- 30:30the European elections decide in some way whether we allow that to go forward.
- 30:40Remember, I didn' t perceive the Reds, Freemasons and Jews. Today
- 30:45the magazine if you want more are the red ones, which are not lacking
- 30:49iluna, that are red until they are roses or a little purple ones.
- 30:56The reds, of course, the homos and visuals, the transs, the
- 31:03Muslims, the immigrants. There is once again a collection of internal enemies that
- 31:14serve to turn Europe back into the worst of its past. And I think
- 31:22that on the eve of the elections it must be remembered and I would dare
- 31:27to invite everyone to vote against that construction of the internal enemy and in favour
- 31:33of a democracy. We need a Europe that is certainly democratic, tolerant,
- 31:41socially just and that does not consider anyone guilty ontologically of the alleged evils we
- 31:51suffer. A Europe of peoples is being broken by those who want to destroy
- 31:55it from within. In fact, it must be remembered that when suddenly we
- 32:00pass from the hypocrisy of the same, the new
