«El rugido de nuestro tiempo es a veces de colonialista y a veces panhispanista, pasa del insulto al lamento y de la santimonia al chasquido de la motosierra. En cualquier caso, se manifieste como se manifieste, hay que prestarle atención porque es una pista para entender las ideas y los valores que están moldeando el presente de nuestras sociedades. Esta labor, la de comprender y analizar el presente, la inicié hace seis años con Salvajes de una nueva época, y continúa con este ensayo. Seguirá en el futuro, ojalá con menos rugidos y menos salvajes, con menos desórdenes y extravagancias de los cuales dar noticia . Perdido el horizonte común que llamábamos realidad, surgen en el mundo contemporáneo nuevos desafÃos y malestares. Los lÃderes polÃticos, que deberÃan ser agentes racionales y ejercer la responsabilidad pública, se han convertido en alborotadores que trafican con las bajas pasiones. Mientras tanto, los artistas se pliegan a las buenas causas y sacrifican la libertad y la transgresión para encajar con las demandas morales del presente. Atrincherados en versiones cada vez más desfiguradas de la realidad, los polÃticos emprenden batallas culturales que fidelizan a sus seguidores, blindándolos contra toda crÃtica. En América Latina una nueva camada de lÃderes mesiánicos quiere cambiar la historia de sus paÃses o regresar a edades de oro perdidas. En España se encienden el debate decolonial y las nostalgias panhispanistas y, mientras unos sueñan con una América solitaria, protegida de la modernidad occidental, otros añoran una unión civilizatoria entre las dos orillas del Atlántico que se emancipe del Occidente globalista. En este desorden ideológico y geopolÃtico, ya no sabemos cuál es el lugar de los paÃses hispanos en el mundo. OÃmos rugidos, vemos perfomances polÃticas, olemos la ira en el ambiente. Es nuestro tiempo, y hay que intentar comprenderlo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A sharp and essential essay for understanding the dilemmas and challenges faced by politics and culture over the past five years.
The roar of our time is sometimes colonialist, sometimes pan-Hispanist; it swings from insult to lament, from sanctimony to the snap of a chainsaw. In any case--however it manifests--it deserves our attention, for it offers clues to the ideas and values shaping the present of our societies. This work of understanding and analyzing the present began six years ago with Savages of a New Era, and it continues with this essay. It will go on in the future, hopefully with fewer roars and fewer savages, with fewer disorders and extravagances to report. Once the common horizon we called reality is lost, new challenges and discontents arise in the contemporary world. Political leaders, who should act as rational agents and exercise public responsibility, have become agitators trafficking in base passions. Meanwhile, artists bow to good causes, sacrificing freedom and transgression to fit the moral demands of the present. Entrenched in increasingly distorted versions of reality, politicians wage cultural battles that cement their followers' loyalty, shielding them from all criticism. In Latin America, a new wave of messianic leaders seeks either to change their nations' histories or to return to lost golden ages. In Spain, the decolonial debate and pan-Hispanist nostalgia flare up, and while some dream of a solitary America protected from Western modernity, others long for a civilizational union between both sides of the Atlantic, one that might free itself from globalist Westernism. In this ideological and geopolitical disorder, we no longer know what place Hispanic countries hold in the world. We hear roars, we witness political performances, we smell the anger in the air. It is our time--and we must try to understand it.
