La paz se cuenta. No. 4: La periodista y activista Lydia Cacho habla sobre cómo enfrentar el miedo
No full textEn el cuarto episodio de La paz se cuenta recibimos a Lydia Cacho, periodista y escritora mexicana, especialista en investigación de violencia de género, salud, infancia y delincuencia organizada. Es activista social y defensora de los derechos de las mujeres y de los niños. Autora de reportajes periodísticos y de doce libros como Esclavas del poder, Los demonios del Edén y Memorias de una infamia, entre otros.
La periodista Lydia Cacho lee “La puerta de la muerte”, un cuento popular que relata la historia de un rey muy temido por sus acciones violentas y la de miles de prisioneros que perdieron la vida pensando que no había otra salida a la guerra diferente a la muerte. El final de la historia nos invita a pensar en el miedo y la valentía y en cómo el primero nos priva de uno de nuestros derechos más preciados: la libertad.
En conversación con Ángela Pérez, la periodista mexicana habla sobre los miedos que conducen a la violencia, la valentía, las formas de enfrentar los temores y de la importancia de recoger las voces de los niños para reivindicar la vida y mirar el mundo con inocencia. También reflexiona sobre la necesidad de documentar el pasado de nuestra historia y rescatar las historias de la paz donde permaneció la vida en medio de la guerra para construir un futuro diferente

Hart, the wife of Reverend William H. Hart, who was the rector of St. John’s Church in Richmond, VA and later St. Andrews Church in Walden, New York. Diary entries include day-to-day activities and meetings with local neighbors and church patron’s. These neighbors included Elizabeth Van Lew and her parents, which Lydia Hart writes about several times. Most dated entries also include discussion of specific bible verses or Rev. Hart’s sermons. Notable entries include a description of the funeral service for Rev. John Buchanan, former rector of St. John’s Church from 1795 to 1822. Diary entries are chronological and more frequent for 1823 and become less frequent in 1823. In 1828, Lydia Hart moved to New York and eventually to Walden, New York in May 1830.At the end of the diary entries is an entry form another author, possibly by Mary. W. Hart dated 1875.

Translation and response between Maurice Blanchot and Lydia Davis
No full textWhen an author translates a text by another writer, this translation is one form of a response to that text. Other responses may appear in their own writings that are more inflected with their authorial persona. Lydia Davis translated six books by Maurice Blanchot, including fiction and theoretical writings. Blanchot’s concept of the récit privileges non-conventional forms of narrative and it can be considered to have influenced Davis, a view shared in critical writing about Davis. However, responses to his fiction can also be found in Davis’s work. This article reads Lydia Davis’s story “Story” as a response to Maurice Blanchot’s récit, La Folie du jour, translated by Davis as “The Madness of the Day”. Both texts develop a narrative that questions the possibility of arriving at a single story: Blanchot’s narrator cannot tell the story of how he came to have glass ground into his eyes, while Davis’s narrator must try to understand a contradictory story told to her by her lover. However, Davis responds to Blanchot by reversing the perspective in the story: where Blanchot’s narrator must and cannot create a story that explains his situation in a judicial/medical context, Davis’s narrator is struggling to understand her lover’s story which does not explain the situation that they find themselves in. Davis’s narrator is therefore motivated by an emotional need to find an acceptable story that is absent from Blanchot’s narrator. This difference in motivation is central to the difference between Davis’s and Blanchot’s approach, and complicates any reading of his influence on her because she responds to his text in her own

Lost opportunity: the Lydia Cacho case and child rights in Mexico
No full textThis paper provides a close analysis of a scandal that broke in Mexico following publication of a book that accused businessmen and politicians of involvement in child trafficking and paedophilia. The book’s author, Lydia Cacho, was abducted, imprisoned, threatened with violence and charged with defamation. As further evidence of complicity in the protection of paedophile rings surfaced, a firestorm of public anger and media scrutiny focussed on the plight of Cacho and key political figures including a state governor. A rare political space was thus opened for a debate on child rights. Yet it was a space that csos and child rights networks failed to exploit. This paper examines how child rights discourse had limited salience in circumstances where csos were compromised, uncommitted and disunited. Developing the concept of a ‘rights effect’, we argue that advocacy for child rights must not assume a natural fellowship with discourses of human rights generally, or with women’s rights, press freedoms and rule of law
Il giornalismo messicano. Il caso di Lydia Cacho.
No full textLa tesi analizza le caratteristiche del giornalismo messicano e la sua evoluzione dalla Guerra fredda ad oggi, facendo particolare riferimento alla giornalista Lydia Cacho.
Nel primo capitolo viene esposta la storia del giornalismo messicano dagli anni Sessanta ai nostri giorni, con una specifica attenzione al punto di vista di genere. Successivamente, viene approfondita l’evoluzione dei media messicani. Infine, viene raccontato il massacro di piazza Tlatelolco che è considerato il principale episodio di censura introdotto dallo Stato nella storia messicana.
Il secondo capitolo, invece, è dedicato ad esaminare la condizione dei giornalisti messicani. Per fare ciò, viene raccontata la guerra della droga in Messico. In un secondo momento, vengono analizzate le caratteristiche del giornalismo d’inchiesta e del citizen journalism, nonché le problematiche che si trovano ad affrontare i giornalisti. Oltre a ciò, viene indagato il ruolo dell’organizzazione Artículo 19 e la particolare attenzione alla situazione dei giornalisti messicani prestata da Reporters Sans Frontières e dal Parlamento europeo. Di notevole importanza risulta anche la sentenza del Tribunale permanente dei popoli che, nel 2022, ha condannato il Messico per i numerosi omicidi dei giornalisti verificatesi.
Il terzo capitolo è dedicato a Lydia Cacho e alle principali lotte da lei condotte. In particolare, viene presa in considerazione l’inchiesta contenuta nel libro I demoni dell’Eden, in cui ha smascherato un’importante rete di pedopornografia
