Wilson Weekly

.



   

A World without NAFTA?

Event video & key quotes

What would a post-NAFTA world look like? To analyze the potential impact of U.S.. withdrawal on jobs, competitiveness, and geopolitics, the Wilson Center and the Council of the Americas convened city mayors, former ambassadors, and business leaders from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.


High Drama in Brazil

Audio & transcript

Brazilian judges have upheld the conviction of former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and increased his jail time – a decision that could have a major impact on the country's political landscape in this critical election year. Three experts made sense of it all in our latest Ground Truth Briefing.


At Davos, Jane Harman Speaks on a Fractured World

Event video & key quotes

"If I were advising [President Trump]… I would say, 'Come to Davos to build alliances.' It's the right thing to do [and] it's the best strategy in a world which is increasingly tribal – not just in countries, but in our politics."

– Wilson Center President Jane Harman

Is China's Overseas Influence Growing?

Wilson Center NOW

"It's not just a question, as it has been for years, of what China is doing that we don't like in China or East Asia, but of what is already happening in American communities and American institutions." In this edition of Wilson Center NOW, Kissinger Institute Director Robert Daly considers the growth of China's "soft-power" cultural and economic influence in the United States and in the West at large.


Wilson in the News

What Kind of Victory for Russia in Syria? (Army University Press)

While the Russian campaign might be a qualified success from the Kremlin's standpoint, its actual performance in military and political terms bears closer examination, write Michael Kofman and Matthew Rojansky.

Can Honduras Avoid a Third Political Crisis in Less than 10 Years? (Univision)

The Central American country faces another chapter of instability and insecurity unless it undergoes key electoral and judicial reform, writes Eric Olson.

Defense – and Offense – Win Trade Championships (The Hill)

A smart combination of defense and offense isn't only critical to winning the Super Bowl, but to an effective U.S. trade strategy as well, argues Earl Anthony Wayne.

[RED DEMOCRATICA] ilas INAF U4410: Political, Social, and Economic Development of Brazil II

 

Our most popular and long standing course on Brazil has changed format and has a new instructor.  The course will start the second half of Spring semester (from March 7 to April 25), and we encourage students interested in Brazil to register as soon as possible.  There are no prerequisites. 

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the instructor directly at r.soares@columbia.edu

 

*********

 

INAF U4410: Political, Social, and Economic Development of Brazil II (1.5 Points)

Call Number: 63447

Date/Time: Wednesdays, 6:10pm – 8:00pm (from March 7 to April 25)

Location: 802 International Affairs Building

Instructor: Rodrigo R. Soares, Lemann Professor of Brazilian Public Policy and International and Public Affairs

 

Course Overview: This course discusses some of the major economic, political, and social problems of contemporary Brazil, drawing from the expertise of researchers, analysts, policy makers, and civil society representatives. The course is unusual in its reliance upon expert outside speakers rather than on a fixed syllabus and set of lectures by the instructor only. The topics are determined based on the invited speakers’ expertise and on the main current issues in the socioeconomic and political debates in Brazil.  Students planning on enrolling in this course are encouraged to also enroll in Public Policy Challenges in Brazil and Latin America (INAF U6621), which is offered in the first half of the Spring Semester. Public Policy Challenges in Brazil and Latin America is built around the discussion of four main current public policy challenges: inequality, education, crime, and health. The two courses are complementary to each other and take place at the same hours and location, just in different halves of the Spring Semester. Public Policy Challenges in Brazil and Latin America provides a somewhat more focused background for some of the issues that are relevant for the discussion developed in Political, Social, and Economic Development of Brazil II.

[RED DEMOCRATICA] En viaje del Papa al Perú, no se habló de restaurar replicas famosas como “La Piedad”

 


  En viaje del Papa al Perú, no se habló de restaurar replicas

 famosas de "La Piedad" en pueblo andino de Lampa, Puno

 

Roberto Bustamante


El Santo Padre en su reciente periplo por tierras peruanas no contempló dialogar con los pobladores de las zonas andinas que son las mas olvidadas y con menos recursos.

En el reciente viaje del Papa Francisco al Perú, por ejemplo sus asesores se olvidaron de tocar algunas  necesidades como el caso de proteger las obras de arte y mejoras en la iglesia Santiago Apóstol en el pueblo andino de Lampa, Puno, en cuya capilla se encuentra una réplica exacta de la famosa escultura "La Piedad", del genio italiano Miguel Ángel Buonarroti, fallecido en el siglo 16.


Lampa, a 3,900 metros sobre el nivel del mar, con cerca de 20 mil habitantes, conocida como la ciudad rosada, es famosa por preservar la escultura de "La Piedad", enviada por la Santa Sede el año 1960 por disposición del Papa Juan XXIII. Lampa, tienen una comunidad campesina que sufre las inclemencias de la naturaleza y sus pobladores trabajan fuerte para educar a sus hijos y cuidar sus hogares.

"El Papa Francisco no tuvo la información ni el menor interés en visitar y ver las necesidades espirituales de los pueblos andino como Puno al sur del Per", comentó una dama peruana inmigrante residente en New Jersey.

"Es una pena que la iglesia y su obra de arte se deterioren rápidamente. Roma debería devolver el favor restaurando esta iglesia colonial y su arte", dijo un conocido analista en Estados Unidos.

¿Cómo llegaron al Perú?

Se afirma con cierto misterio que hace más de 57 años, el senador peruano Enrique Torres, le suplicó al Papa Juan XXIII le ayude con enviar a Lampa, su tierra natal la réplica de "La Piedad". El Santo Padre cumplió con su palabra.

Lo cierto es que en esta ciudad andina existen dos esculturas, una blanca y otra oscura.

Según un informe de la BBC Mundo, publicado el 6 de junio de 2017, al momento de copiar esta escultura en Roma, los artistas italianos usaron yeso blanco. Cuando la escultura finalmente fue traída al Perú resultó muy pesada y no se podía colocar sobre el domo, y en Lima decidieron hacer una nueva copia, según testimonios del padre Gabriel Castañeda, párroco de Lampa, en declaraciones para este medio informativo.

"La piedad negra que está hoy en la capilla (de Lampa) se forma en aluminio", agregó el párroco.

Los feligreses y algunos visitantes pueden observar en la capilla de la iglesia Santiago Apóstol, la imagen de la virgen María con el cuerpo de Jesus en su regazo. A diferencia de la escultura original tallada por Miguel Ángel terminada en 1499, que se encuentra en la Basílica San Pedro en el Vaticano, esta imagen en aluminio es de color negro.

La otra escultura, "La Piedad" blanca, está en un salón de la municipalidad de Lampa. Por la escasa promoción, esta imagen es desapercibida por los turistas.

 Por la falta de mantenimiento y cuidados que requiere la capilla de la iglesia Santiago Apóstol se encuentra deteriorada aún cuando ha sido declarada patrimonio nacional, según la misma fuente.

Los turistas que viajan a Perú carecen de este tipo de información por la incapacidad de los funcionarios de turismo al no realizar campañas en diferentes idiomas en el exterior. Puno es famosa además por las islas flotantes en el lago Titicaca.

Delegación de Vaticano llega a Puno

Hace 44 años, los vecinos de Lampa en Puno, se sorprendieron cuando una tarde de 1972, una misteriosa comitiva enviada por el Papa Pablo VI llegó a este lugar. La comitiva viajó 10 mil 500 kilómetros desde Roma. Todos se preguntaban si el Papa de ese entonces había decidido recoger las dos esculturas y llevarlas de vuelta a Italia.

Sucedió que el 21 de mayo del mismo año, un hombre enfermo de origen húngaro identificado como Laslo Toth llegó hasta la Basílica de San Pedro y golpeó 12 veces con un martillo la escultura original diciendo que era Miguel Ángel. El rostro de la virgen estaba destrozado.

La delegación integrada por arquitectos italianos,necesitaba tomar las medidas de la réplica para restaurar la original. En Lampa, los arquitectos descubrieron dos esculturas, una negra y otra blanca. "El Papa la autorizó con la condición de que destruyeran la de yeso, sin embargo, nunca se destruyó", declaró el párroco Castañeda a BBC Mundo.

"Quien observa la estatua original casi puede sentir la suavidad de los labios de María o los rizos de Jesús entre los dedos.. El velo de la virgen más que de mármol asemeja la seda, y el brazo de Cristo parece tener sangre en las venas",refirió el mismo medio informativo.

Las fotografías y medidas tomadas en Lampa fueron parte de un minucioso proceso de restauración que duró diez meses. Hoy, "La Piedad" se encuentra resguardada en El Vaticano con un grueso cristal a prueba de balas.

La oficina del Ministerio de Cultura en Puno, manifestó la necesidad de darle mantenimiento a las réplicas de "La Piedad". "Las vírgenes son ahora parte de nuestra identidad y debería haber un compromiso por cuidarlas", dijo Oscar Franco, del Patronato de Lampa al ser consultado por BBC Mundo.

En Lima, el Papa Francisco, hizo fuertes críticas en contra de los casos de corrupción en los niveles gubernamentales y empresariales, además se interesó por superar la situación de los pobladores en la región amazónica tras visitar la ciudad de Madre de Dios en Puerto Maldonado.
