Films for the Humanities and Sciences - Eduardo Galeano-in Spanish with English Subtitles

Eduardo Galeano—in Spanish with English Subtitles

Articulating his profound and compelling worldview, Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano imbues this program with a poetic sensibility and an unconstrained intellectual curiosity. Ruminations on prehistoric gender roles, global warming, and the twilight of socialism underscore Galeano’s notion of disabled memory—his term for the reshaping of history according to one’s fears and prejudices—as well as his thoughts on humanity’s chances for survival. The author of Memory of Fire and Open Veins of Latin America also contemplates the effects of Uruguay’s past military dictatorship, which imprisoned him and subsequently forced him into 11 years of exile. (Spanish with English subtitles, 27 minutes)
