2022, un año de reconfiguración y renovación

El año 2022 ha representado para nuestra revista un año de esfuerzos continuos para asegurar la aparición de la revista, en un contexto económico y social bastante marcado por lo ocurrido durante los años anteriores (2020 y 2021).

Por diferentes motivos, objetivos o subjetivos, el año pasado algunos de nuestros más antiguos colaboradores cesaron su colaboración con la revista y el equipo de traductores se redujo un poco. De la primera categoría, cesaron su colaboración a lo largo de los años 2021-2022 algunos autores con una presencia duradera en la revista, como Douglas Lipton y Morelle Smith (Reino Unido), Pascal Dague (Francia), Ioan Stanomir (Rumanía), Ettore Fobo (Italia), Ana Bazán (Argentina) y algunos otros, y del equipo de traductores, Elena Ţăpean, que colaboraba con traducciones desde el año 2015. Esta es una dinámica normal, de hecho, con la que siempre nos hemos confrontado a lo largo de los 14 años de existencia de la revista.

Por otro lado, mencionamos con satisfacción el buen desarrollo de los departamentos de lengua francesa y española, de los que se encargaron con competencia y perseverancia, durante todo el año, Noëlle Arnoult y Monica Dragomirescu, quienes aseguraron tanto una buena parte de las traducciones, como una renovación constante del colectivo de colaboradores.

A finales del año 2022 la revista tenía colaboradores (poetas, prosadores, ensayistas) de Francia, España, Holanda, Alemania, Rumanía, Croacia, Escocia, Estados Unidos, Canadá, México, Chile, Argentina, Brasil etc. Para una publicación que no se beneficia de ninguna subvención del estado, no es poca cosa, teniendo en cuenta además el valor excepcional de algunos de estos colaboradores, como también el apego a la creación y al arte de los otros colaboradores.

Aparte de los redactores coordinadores, tuvieron una presencia constante a lo largo de todo el año 2022 los autores Jacklynn Beckman (Francia), Marie Cholette (Canadá), Francisco da Cunha (Brasil), Frédéric Fort (Francia), Mónica Gómez (Chile), Jean-Claude Jayet (Francia), Serge Lapisse (Francia), Milagros López (España), Patricio Henríquez Lorca (Chile), Julien Miavril (Francia), Kees van Meel (Holanda), Donald Riggs (Estados Unidos), Francisco Sánchez (España), Jean-Claude Sartelet (Francia), Ana-Muela Sopeña (España), E.A.C. Lenoble (Francia-Rumanía), John Tischer (México-Estados Unidos), María Alejandra Vidal Bracho (Chile), Michael White (Estados Unidos). Entre los colaboradores de Rumanía, fueron publicados a lo largo del año pasado el profesor universitario Gheorghe Glodeanu, el prosador Radu Igna, el poeta e hispanista Mihai Cantuniari, el poeta Leonard Ciureanu, el poeta Nicolae Crepcia etc. Entre los recién llegados, mencionamos al pintor franco-vietnamita Gérard Dominé y a su hermano, poeta y músico Jean-Claude Dominé.

En el mes de junio, en Dijon, Noëlle Arnoult organizó la tercera edición de la manifestación cultural dedicada a nuestra revista, donde se otorgaron premios de excelencia al poeta Frédéric Fort, al prosador Jean-Claude Sartelet y al pintor Gérard Dominé, por su creación y por su apego al programa cultural de nuestra revista, que intenta armonizar el factor nacional y el internacional en la creación literaria y artística contemporánea.

Las traducciones fueron aseguradas por Monica Dragomirescu, Noëlle Arnoult (Francia), Andrei Langa (Rep. Moldavia), Deborah Jacobs (Holanda), Raymond Walden (Alemania), a los que les damos las gracias por este medio.

Finalmente, destacamos la continuación de las apariciones en la colección "Bibliotheca Universalis”, donde fueron publicados doce nuevos libros, desde el libro número 241 hasta el libro número 252. Estos libros son, en su mayoría, bilingües e incluyen versos, prosa, evocaciones y son firmados por autores de Rumanía (Nicolae Crepcia, Petru Istrate), Croacia (Tomislav Bilosnic), Francia (Patrick Rozenfeld, Noëlle Arnoult), Escocia (Neil Leadbeater), Chile (Mónica Gómez), España (Milagros Lopez) etc. Con más de 250 libros publicados, tras ocho años de existencia y con autores de casi todos los continentes, Bibliotheca Universalis puede figurar en el libro de los récords en el capítulo "editoriales particulares, que superaron su condición de outsider".

Por ello, iniciamos el nuevo año 2023 con toda confianza y estamos convencidos de que nuestros esfuerzos en el campo del trabajo cultural serán recompensados con resultados notables.

                                         2022, a year of reconfiguration and renewal

      The year 2022 has represented for our magazine a year of continuous efforts to ensure the appearance of the magazine, in an economic and social context quite marked by what happened in previous years (2020 and 2021).

      For different reasons, objective or subjective, last year some of our oldest collaborators ceased their collaboration with the magazine and the team of translators was reduced a bit. In the first category, some authors with a lasting presence in the journal ceased their collaboration over the years 2021-2022, such as Douglas Lipton and Morelle Smith (United Kingdom), Pascal Dague (France), Ioan Stanomir (Romania), Ettore Fobo (Italy), Ana Bazán (Argentina) and some others, and from the team of translators, Elena Ţăpean, who has been collaborating with translations since 2015. This is a normal dynamic, in fact, with which we have always faced throughout the 14 years of the magazine's existence.

      On the other hand, we mention with satisfaction the good development of the French and Spanish language departments, which were handled with competence and perseverance, throughout the year, by Noëlle Arnoult and Monica Dragomirescu, who ensured both a good part of the translations, as a constant renewal of the group of collaborators.

      At the end of 2022, the magazine had collaborators (poets, prose writers, essayists) from France, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, Romania, Croatia, Scotland, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, etc. For a publication that does not benefit from any state subsidy, this is not a small thing, also taking into account the exceptional value of some of these collaborators, as well as the attachment to the creation and art of the other collaborators.

      Apart from the coordinating editors, the authors Jacklynn Beckman (France), Marie Cholette (Canada), Francisco da Cunha (Brazil), Frédéric Fort (France), Mónica Gómez (Chile) had a constant presence throughout the year 2022. , Jean-Claude Jayet (France), Serge Lapisse (France), Milagros López (Spain), Patricio Henríquez Lorca (Chile), Julien Miavril (France), Kees van Meel (Netherlands), Donald Riggs (United States), Francisco Sánchez (Spain), Jean-Claude Sartelet (France), Ana-Muela Sopeña (Spain), E.A.C. Lenoble (France-Romania), John Tischer (Mexico-United States), María Alejandra Vidal Bracho (Chile), Michael White (United States). Among the collaborators from Romania, the university professor Gheorghe Glodeanu, the prose writer Radu Igna, the poet and Hispanist Mihai Cantuniari, the poet Leonard Ciureanu, the poet Nicolae Crepcia etc. have been published over the past year. Among the newcomers, we mention the French-Vietnamese painter Gérard Dominé and his brother, poet and musician Jean-Claude Dominé.

      In June, in Dijon, Noëlle Arnoult organized the third edition of the cultural event dedicated to our magazine, where prizes of excellence were awarded to the poet Frédéric Fort, the prose artist Jean-Claude Sartelet and the painter Gérard Dominé, for their creation and for its adherence to the cultural program of our magazine, which tries to harmonize the national and international factors in contemporary literary and artistic creation.

      The translations were ensured by Monica Dragomirescu, Noëlle Arnoult (France), Andrei Langa (Moldova Republic), Deborah Jacobs (Netherlands), Raymond Walden (Germany), whom we thank for this means.

      Finally, we highlight the continuation of appearances in the "Bibliotheca Universalis" collection, where twelve new books were published, from book number 241 to book number 252. These books are mostly bilingual and include verses, prose, evocations and are signed by authors from Romania (Nicolae Crepcia, Petru Istrate), Croatia (Tomislav Bilosnic), France (Patrick Rozenfeld, Noëlle Arnoult), Scotland (Neil Leadbeater), Chile (Mónica Gómez), Spain (Milagros Lopez) etc. With With more than 250 books published, after eight years of existence and with authors from almost all continents, Bibliotheca Universalis can be included in the book of records in the chapter "private publishers, who overcame their outsider status".

      For this reason, we start the new year 2023 with full confidence and we are convinced that our efforts in the field of cultural work will be rewarded with remarkable results.

RAYMOND WALDEN (GERMANY): The Here And Now Of „Our“ World

The Here And Now Of „Our“ World

There has never been a true and real democracy, they all are and were deceitful. Thus the actual terrifically fast but nearly soundlessly happening disintegration of the so-called democracies can be explained.

They fall victim to their own incompetence, but in no way being clearly aware of these processes. Similar dust was in concern at that time when the establishing of the actual semi-democracies took place which, at the end, has been a dictation act of the military victor powers performing themselves as democrats but – in the sense of the word – have never been ones and have not become ones to this very day.

Of course, not even a bogus morality can prevail on self-deception and mendacity. And this is the Here And Now of “0ur” world as it has always been alike in learning inability and in spitefulness of even academic heads and of nerds anyway. There is no recipe against. Cosmonomic approaches could indicate perspectives at least, but the question arises: Are new perspectives wanted at all? Or is their necessity denied even?    

Mankind has been waiting for enlightenment since centuries whereas it doesn't count neither the epochs of devastation, the localities nor the sacrifices, it is counting instead consistently on Gods, on their proconsuls, on their (medial) propagandists, on their exploiters and torturers. The Interim Human, as only a precursor of a developed humanity, is getting permanently lost in warmongering, arming and slaughtering each other using hypocritical arguments of excessive stupidity sounded in blatant lack of education, in lack of empathy and social awareness, in lack of objective cosmopolitan humanity.

Dawn of a new way? – No land in sight!

End of the world? – All kinds of ideologies and religions are “praying” for it, I don't “pray”, as a Cosmonomer, but I am looking for causal knowledge and do declare all “world saviors” mad. The world is much more than the Interim Human only.

Aici şi acum în Lumea „noastră”

Nu a existat niciodată o democraţie reală, toate sistemele democratice sunt şi au fost dezamăgitoare. Prin urmare teribil de rapida şi aproape imperceptibila dezintegrare actuală a aşa-numitei democraţii se poate explica.

Ea a căzut pradă propriei incompetenţe, dar nefiind în nici un fel preocupată de ceea ce se petrece. O nebuloasă similară a fost în această privinţă şi pe timpul când s-au stabilit actualele semi-democraţii, care, în realitate au reprezentat un act de dictatură al puterilor învingătoare jucând rolul de democraţii dar care – în adevăratul sens al cuvântului – nu au fost şi nu au devenit nici până în ziua de azi ceea ce au pretins că sunt.

 Desigur, nici măcar o falsă moralitate nu poate prevala asupra autoînşelării şi a minciunii. Şi acesta este acel Aici şi Acum al lumii „noastre”, aşa cum a fost întotdeauna, în incapacitatea de a învăţa şi în răutatea manifestată chiar şi de către şefii academici, pentru a nu mai vorbi de simplii tocilari. Nu există o reţetă prin care să se poată preveni fenomenul. Abordările cosmonomice ar putea indica unele perspective cel puţin, dar se pune întrebarea: sunt oare noile perspective dorite în definitiv? Ori se neagă chiar şi necesitatea lor?

Umanitatatea aşteaptă clarificarea de secole, fără să ia în consideraţie nici epocile distructiv-regresive, nici locurile şi nici sacrificiile, dar contează în schimb pe zei, pe proconsulii săi, pe propagandiştii săi mediatici, pe exploatatorii şi pe torţionarii săi. Omul interimar, ca precursor al umanităţii evoluate, se pierde în hăţişul războaielor, în măcelărirea reciprocă, folosind în mod ipocrit argumente de o prostie crasă, care indică o flagrantă lipsă de educaţie, de empatie şi de conştiinţă socială, în lipsa unei umanităţi de tip cosmonomic.

Zorii unei lumi noi? Nici un pământ în zare!

Sfârşitul lumii? Tot felul de ideologii şi de religii se roagă pentru asta, eu nu mă rog, în calitate de persoană cosmonomică, dar caut să aflu cauzele şi îi declar pe toţi „salvatorii” lumii nebuni de legat. Lumea este cu mult mai mult decât Omul Interimar.

Profil. Profile 

Raymond Walden (1945, Jena, Germania). Scriitor, poet şi filosof cosmonomic. În 2005 a publicat cartea Sentinţe despre libertate – Manifestul cosmonomic, iar în 2008, Credinţe umaniste.  Potrivit lui Raymond Walden, noi nu trăim “în cea mai bună dintre lumile posibile”. Spiritul său analitic şi critic nu este confortabil, dar reprezintă o abordare necesară din punctul de vedere al raţiunii. Publicat în OLC: 1, 4/2010, 1, 2, 5, 6/2011, 1, 3, 6 / 2012, Ant. 3/2012, 1, 3, 4, 5/2013, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6/2014, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5/2015, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6/2016, 1, 3/2017, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6/2018.

Raymond Walden (1945, Jena, Germany). Writer, poet and cosmonomic philosopher. In 2005 he published the book Sentences of Freedom – The Cosmonomic Manifesto and in 2008,  Human Believing. For Raymond Walden we are not living in „the best possible world“. His analytical and critical spirit is not comfortable for some postmodernist or decadent mentality, but it is a necessary approach on behalf of human reason. Published in CLH: 1, 4/2010, 1, 2, 5, 6/2011, 1, 3, 6 / 2012, Ant. 3/2012, 1, 3, 4, 5/2013, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6/2014, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5/2015, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6/2016, 1, 3, 4, 5/2017, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6/2018.
