About this listen
La soberbia intelectual, revelada en los distintos tipos de pedantería analizados por Enrique Serna, no es un asunto vinculado con la creación, sino con el poder.
De Enrique Serna, autor de Señorita México y El miedo a los animales.
Una historia de la soberbia en las elites culturales y su relación con el poder, desde la antigüedad hasta nuestros días.
La soberbia ha marcado a los intelectuales desde el comienzo de la historia. La gran mayoría de los artistas y creadores han hecho todo lo posible por separarse y desdeñar a la gente común para mostrarse como una casta aparte. Los antiguos brahmanes de la India, los oscuros filósofos griegos, las opacas discusiones medievales y la actual literatura incomprensible que recibe reconocimientos y galardones son -desde la perspectiva de Enrique Serna- otros momentos y ejemplos de la historia de una soberbia que, por supuesto, también existe en nuestro país.
En este libro, el autor se pregunta: ¿quién puede leer e interesarse por un artículo especializado que no tiene destinatario?, ¿por un texto que sólo cita a sus pares y llena cuartillas impenetrables?, ¿quién puede admirar una obra de "arte contemporáneo" donde la habilidad técnica y la maravilla han sido olvidadas para crear una "instalación" que sólo reúne cachivaches? La soberbia intelectual no sólo ha sido creada por los mismos intelectuales: ellos han contado con el apoyo de personas e instituciones que han apostado por la ignorancia y la arrogancia.
Lo que ha dicho la crítica:
"Un libro necesario, dotado de una erudición al servicio del lector y no de la ostentación, que se opone a la acumulación de conocimiento estéril y es una invitación a que el lector no especializado dialogue con la literatura y sus intérpretes sin los filtros interesados del elitismo y la mercadotecnia, y así desarrolle un criterio que al fin pueda llamar suyo."—Javier Munguía, Letras libres

Story
México, finales del siglo XVI. Desde su niñez, la falsa beata Crisanta Cruz y el indio apóstata Tlacotzin, desarrollaron una férrea voluntad de sobrevivir y una refinada malicia para burlarse de sus opresores. Ellos son la columna vertebral de una hilarante intriga novelesca que desnuda los vicios privados y las virtudes públicas de la sociedad colonial: la teatralidad del misticismo, los laberintos barrocos del deseo reprimido, el culto clandestino de los Dioses prehispánicos, la sórdida lucha por el poder entre las órdenes religiosas...

Story
Hace treinta años, en un terreno baldío de un barrio tranquilo, apareció descuartizado y quemado el cadáver de una adolescente. La investigación se cerró sin culpables y su familia -de clase media educada, formal y católica- silenciosamente se fue resquebrajando Pero, pasado ese largo tiempo, la verdad oculta saldrá a la luz gracias al persistente amor del padre de la víctima. Esa verdad mostrará con crudeza lo que se esconde detrás de las apariencias; la crueldad a la que pueden llevar la obediencia y el fanatismo religioso.

Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.
