Gloria Anzaldúa Frases y Citas

“Fuente: Hablando en lenguas: una carta a escritoras de mujeres del Tercer Mundo, de This Bridge Called My Back.”

Gloria Anzaldúa

Original: «Why am I compelling to write? Because te writing saves me from this complacency I fear. Because I have no choice. Because I must keep the spirit of my revolt and myself alive. Because the world I create in the writing compensates for what the real world does not give me. By writing I put order in the world, give it a handle so I can grasp it. I write because life does not appaese my appetites and hunger».

“En algún momento, en nuestro camino hacia una nueva conciencia, tendremos que dejar la orilla opuesta, la división entre los dos combatientes mortales de alguna manera curados para que estemos en ambas orillas a la vez y, a la vez, veamos a través de los ojos de la serpiente y el águila. O tal vez decidamos desentendernos de la cultura dominante, borrarla todos juntos como una causa perdida, y cruzar la frontera en un territorio completamente nuevo y separado. O podríamos ir por otra ruta. Las posibilidades son numerosas una vez que decidimos actuar y no reaccionar.”

Gloria Anzaldúa

Original: «At some point, on our way to a new consciousness, we will have to leave the opposite bank, the split between the two mortal combatants somehow healed so that we are on both shores at once and, at once, see through serpent and eagle eyes. Or perhaps we will decide to disengage from the dominant culture, write it off all together as a lost cause, and cross the border into a wholly new and separate territory. Or we might go another route. The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react».

“Bridges are thresholds to other realities, archetypal, primal symbols of shifting consciousness. They are passageways, conduits, and connectors that connote transitioning, crossing borders, and changing perspectives. Bridges span liminal (threshold) spaces between worlds, spaces I call nepantla, a Nahuatl word meaning tierra entre medio. Transformations occur in this in-between space, an unstable, unpredictable, precarious, always-in-transition space lacking clear boundaries. Nepantla es tierra desconocida, and living in this liminal zone means being in a constant state of displacement--an uncomfortable, even alarming feeling. Most of us dwell in nepantla so much of the time it’s become a sort of “home.””

Though this state links us to other ideas, people, and worlds, we feel threatened by these new connections and the change they engender.

“Write with your eyes like painters, with your ears like musicians, with your feet like dancers. You are the truthsayer with quill and torch. Write with your tongues of fire. Don't let the pen banish you from yourself.”

“Many have a way with words. They label themselves seers but they will not see. Many have the gift of tongue but nothing to say. Do not listen to them. Many who have words and tongue have no ear, they cannot listen and they will not hear.”
