«Himno de retirada», de David Mamet.
No full textEl dramaturgo David Mamet ofrece en su obra «Himno de retirada» un retrato alarmante de la actual situación política y cultural en Estados Unidos. Más allá de lo que conocemos como cultura woke y sus manifestaciones más inmediatas: teoría racial, corrección política, degradación de la universidad y las consiguientes restricciones a la libertad de expresión, se desarrolla una feroz batalla cultural y política de la que dicho fenómeno sería la punta del iceberg. En esta recopilación de artículos, David Mamet ataca esos aspectos más evidentes, pero entra, sobre todo, en el fondo político del asunto que, en Estados Unidos, reviste en su opinión una gravedad extrema. Su visión no puede ser más pesimista. Marcados por la obligada brevedad del artículo periodístico, los textos son especialmente contundentes, primando los recursos literarios sobre el razonamiento detenido y matizado. Para Mamet, Estados Unidos asiste a una guerra civil en ciernes en la que está en juego su propia democracia constitucional. Por encima de sus múltiples aspectos (la enseñanza, la prensa, la política, las medidas contra la COVID, el uso del lenguaje…), señala como un asunto capital el que un sector político (la izquierda) no se limite a rechazar las ideas del adversario, sino que le niegue su derecho a existir

David Mamet: Dramatic craftsman
No full textThe aphasic speech patterns that typify the vocabulary of so many of David Mamet\u27s characters is the objective correlative of the Russian theatrical giant Constantin Stanislavsky\u27s theory that words create behavior. Unable to find language capable of defining the gap between their spiritual needs as human beings and the reality of their everyday existences, Mamet\u27s characters frequently resort to using words that appear inappropriate or even incoherent on an objective level but metaphorically reveal the characters\u27 understanding of, and relationship to, the external world. Consequently, language functions as the solder that welds Mamet\u27s artistic technique and personal philosophy together, a poetic device through which the playwright portrays an entire culture\u27s failure to examine itself analytically. To stress the importance of his characters\u27 language, Mamet has often chosen to minimize the role of such traditional dramatic techniques as plot, setting, and conflict in his work so that the audience\u27s attention is riveted squarely upon the actors and the dialogue they are speaking, forcing not just plot but also theme to flow naturally from the linguistic rhythms intrinsic within the play. Further, the themes which Mamet explores are inextricably entwined with his subject matter, which encompasses such broad subjects as the mundanity of the American laborer\u27s life; two elderly Jewish men\u27s ruminations about ducks; a group of petty thieves\u27 ineffectual attempts to commit a robbery; the confusion of alienated urban singles; the machinations of real estate salesmen, doctors, actors, and lawyers; the moral dilemmas of a fictionalized version of legendary Chicago gangbuster Eliot Ness; and so on. Mamet\u27s diverse works are vehicles through which he confronts the fundamental mystery of human existence; as he has stated: thinspace\u27How can we live in a world in which we know we\u27re going to die?\u27 thinspace All of the characters in Mamet\u27s canon are personifications of an estranged and confused culture\u27s desperate need to discover worthwhile spiritual values. An examination of Mamet\u27s works, the writings of those who have influenced him, and extent critical commentary reveals the evolution of Mamet\u27s artistic vision, which is firmly grounded within the relationship between his characters\u27 use of language and the author\u27s understanding of human nature
