One of the many reasons to learn Spanish these days is that NYC is undeniably turning into a bilingual city. Don’t stay behind: by learning Spanish at Instituto Cervantes you too can become a part of New York’s bilingual community. In this edition of our Cervantes magazine you will find language courses that fit your needs, as well as an ambitious cultural program that brings the best of the culture of the entire Spanish-speaking world to New York: great writers like Antonio Muñoz Molina, Javier Cercas, César Aira, Carmen Boullosa and Guadalupe Nettel as well as works of splendid artists like Goya, Dalí, Garcia-Alix and Ruven Afanador. We will present debates on fundamental global topics of the 21st century, like the influence of new technologies, the achievements of our scientists and the Hispanic immigration in America (with Rebeca Grynspan). There will also be a lot to listen to this winter: jazz, classical music and a flamenco festival. Last but not least, a new series: Cervantes Comedy, a different and humorous way to look at a variety of themes as another way of thinking culture. The ICNY Library, one of the largest specialized libraries in the Hispanic world, will help you to become familiar with a world that already is a part of the US.
We invite you to take part in these exciting experiences and to give us your feed back and help us to improve our work day after day.
Hay muchas razones para aprender español hoy en día. Una de ellas es que Nueva York se está convirtiendo ya inexorablemente en una ciudad bilingüe. No te quedes fuera: estudiando español en el Instituto Cervantes puedes ser parte de esta ciudad. En esta revista puedes encontrar los cursos que más se adaptan a tus necesidades. Y también una ambiciosa programación cultural que trae a NYC lo mejor de la cultura de todos los países hispanohablantes: los grandes escritores en español como Antonio Muñoz Molina, Javier Cercas, César Aira, Carmen Boullosa o Guadalupe Nettel, grandes artistas como Goya, Dalí, García-Alix o Ruven Afanador, así como los debates dedicados a temas globales y fundamentales del siglo XXI como la influencia de las nuevas tecnologías, los avances de nuestros científicos o las migraciones hispanas en América, con Rebeca Grynspan. La música cuenta con un espacio muy importante este invierno: jazz, música clásica y un gran festival de flamenco. Y, finalmente, un nuevo y divertido programa: Cervantes Comedy, una manera distinta de acercarnos a temas muy diversos desde el humor, como una forma más de pensar la cultura. La biblioteca del ICNY -una de las mayores bibliotecas especializadas en el ámbito hispanoamericano- te ayudará a acercarte a un mundo que ya es parte indisoluble de EE.UU.
Te invitamos a participar en estas apasionantes experiencias y ayudarnos, con tus sugerencias, a mejorar día a día nuestro trabajo.

This show is part of the project Miradas de Asturias, of the María Cristina Masaveu Peterson Foundation, which promotes the creation of an archive of unpublished images about Asturias (Spain), taken by internationally acclaimed artists.Opening remarks by the curator Nicolás Combarro.

We will revisit Goya through the work of Dalí on the former’s series of prints Los Caprichos. Dalí shows us a total work of art, consistent with Goya’s thinking, marked by a programmatic and enlightened character that reconciles the multiple sources of knowledge from Baroque tradition, the Classical world and the French Encyclopedists. The exhibition features 40 prints, 17 by Goya and 23 by Dalí, inviting us to discover two great masters through intelligence and humor.

Boom! A word that can be used to describe the Mexican narrative, given the great number of fiction writers of great complexity and quality, a literary explosion for which the United States is a soundboard for shared topics and concerns within the fiction genre. Through this phenomenal series, New Yorkers will now have the opportunity to hear from key protagonists representative of this movement including Guadalupe Nettel, Carmen Boullosa, Nick Flynn & Phillip Lopate.
A juzgar por la gran cantidad de escritores de ficción y su gran complejidad y calidad, se podría hablar de un boom de la narrativa mexicana. Estados Unidos está haciendo de caja de resonancia de esta explosión literaria, cada vez son más y más profundas, las referencias cruzadas y las preocupaciones compartidas por distintos temas de ficción. Ahora tenemos la oportunidad de oír en Nueva York a varios protagonistas de este movimiento como Guadalupe Nettel, Carmen Boullosa, Nick Flynn y Phillip Lopate.

CARMEN BOULLOSA & PHILLIP LOPATECONFESSIONS
For someone to write about what no one else dares to say regarding him or herself, and to do it through the particular freedom offered by essays and poetry, is an act of courage only attained by a select group of writers. It is an act that never ceases to be a reflection about the problems that concern them and to which they constantly return. Boullosa and Lopate, two Manhattan spirits, a pair as unintentional as it is exquisite, will delight the audience by sharing their desires, obsessions and reflections. Moderated by critic and writer Daniel Shapiro.
Escribir sobre lo que nadie se atreve a decir de sí mismo, y hacerlo a través de la libertad que ofrece especialmente el ensayo o la poesía, es un acto de valentía de un selecto grupo de escritores. Un acto que no deja de ser una reflexión sobre los temas que les preocupan y a los que siempre regresan. Boullosa y Lopate, dos almas en Manhattan, un díptico tan involuntario como exquisito que hará las delicias de todos, compartiendo sus anhelos, obsesiones y reflexiones. Modera el escritor y crítico, Daniel Shapiro.

GUADALUPE NETTEL & NICK FLYNNFACE TO FACE
According to Pliny the Elder, all animals know what they want except man. Guadalupe Nettel, winner of the Premio Herralde 2014, takes it one step further, claiming that human beings also lack a sense of self.The seven stories comprising the Mexican author’s recently published English edition, Natural Histories, center on these two notions and are closely tied to the work of Nick Flynn, in which preoccupation with memory becomes a concern with the nature of being.
Todo animal sabe lo que quiere excepto el hombre, decía Plinio el Viejo. La reciente Premio Herralde, Guadalupe Nettel añade que tampoco el hombre sabe quién es. Las siete narraciones que comprende la última obra de la autora mexicana traducida al inglés, Historias naturales, gravitan en torno a estas dos ideas cruzadas y establecen lazos significativos con la obra del escritor americano Nick Flynn, en la que la preocupación por la memoria adquiere la condición de ontología propia.

Martin Luther King was assassinated on April 4th, 1968. Based on the recent declassification of FBI files regarding this case, Antonio Muñoz Molina reconstructs the crime, escape, and capture, in his latest novel, Como la sombra que se va. This thrilling account leads us into essential topics of universal literature, which he will discuss with writer Colm Toibin, such as the difficulty of faithfully recreating the past, the fragile character of an instant, the construction of identity, the accidental as the engine of reality or the vulnerability of human rights.
El 4 de abril de 1968 Martin Luther King fue asesinado. Gracias a la apertura reciente de los archivos del FBI sobre este caso, Antonio Muñoz Molina reconstruye en su última novela Como la sombra que se va, la huida y captura del asesino.

Ignoring verisimilitude is one of the ways to tear down the division between fiction and reality. César Aira tells stories, sometimes with many realist overtones, but he always upsets the plausible and avoids incidental elements to set his story. The Argentine author will discuss his most recent English publication, The Musical Brain and Other Stories, with Sergio Chejfec, inviting us to that peculiar universe which proves that in life there are events that cannot be explained by Western Rationalism.
Una de las maneras en las que se rompe la división realidad-ficción es ignorando la verosimilitud. César Aira cuenta historias, en ocasiones con muchos tintes realistas, pero siempre trastoca el verosímil y no asume los rasgos circunstanciales para situar su historia. El autor argentino conversará con Sergio Chejfec sobre su última publicación en inglés The Musical Brain and Other Stories y nos invita a ese particular universo que demuestra que en la existencia suceden cosas que no se explican desde el racionalismo occidental.

The Hispanic population in the United States is growing. It is the largest minority in the country in both cultural and demographic impact. Its cultural influence is so prevalent that entire communities and cultural networks have been formed, and have become an active and sizeable part of American society. In spite of this, it is estimated that there are around eleven million undocumented immigrants. The ability of the United States to efficiently manage and make the most out of this wealth is a task that remains unfinished in the US of the 21st century, so as to establish the conditions for a population influx that is legal, organized, safe, and that respects human rights. What should be the guidelines to follow in order to attain this goal? Which tools and strategies are needed?
La población de hispanos ha crecido en EE.UU. y se ha convertido en la primera minoría del país. Su influencia cultural es tan grande que han formado sus propias comunidades y redes culturales y han pasado a formar una parte muy activa de la sociedad estadounidense. EE.UU. tiene la gran oportunidad de aprovechar este caudal de valor imprescindible para los EE.UU. del siglo XXI. Sin embargo se estiman en varios millones los indocumentados y para ellos EE.UU. tiene que establecer unas condiciones de flujo de personas legal, ordenado, seguro y respetuoso con los derechos humanos ¿Puede EE.UU. hacer frente a este reto? ¿Cuáles son las pautas a seguir? ¿Cuáles las herramientas y las estrategias?

The way a text is interpreted is a commentary on culture and artistic sensibility, and it is particularly intense when the word reaches its highest form of expression in live monologue and when the genre is comedy.
Cervantes Comedy aims to bring us closer to a variety of topics from the standpoint of humor as another way of thinking about culture.
La forma de interpretar un texto es hablar de una cultura y de una sensibilidad artística, y es especialmente intensa cuando la palabra acoge su máxima expresión a través del monólogo en directo, y cuando el género es el humor.
Cervantes Comedy propone acercarnos a temas muy diversos desde el humor como una forma más de pensar la cultura.

Bill Santiago is smart comedy; You can watch him every saturday morning on CNN with Randi Kaye, and now, live, at Instituto Cervantes. This Puerto Rican artist is a phenomenal stand-up comedian, of the standing of George Carlin or Jerry Seinfeld, to which he adds his Latino heritage, an unlimited mental acumen and a very broad outlook on almost every subject. His work as a journalist is solidly based on thinking and rethinking a subject matter that always stirs an intelligent laughter. His obsessions: language, family, cats, politics, religion, identity and multiculturalism, dancing and even Facebook. This is a unique opportunity to enjoy someone who has gone the extra mile and helped stand-up comedy grow.
El humor inteligente es Bill Santiago. Puedes verle cada sábado por la mañana en la CNN con Randi Kaye y ahora, en vivo y en directo, en el Instituto Cervantes. El portorriqueño es un fuera de serie del Stand Up Comedy a la altura de George Carlin o Jerry Seinfeld pero sumando su herencia latina, una agilidad mental sin límites y una amplísima visión sobre casi todos los temas. Su trabajo como periodista es la base rigurosa de un material pensado y repensado que siempre despierta la risa inteligente. Sus obsesiones: el lenguaje, la familia, la cultura, los gatos, la política, la religión, la vida y la muerte, la identidad y la multiculturalidad, bailar, e incluso Facebook. Esta es una ocasión única para disfrutar de quien ha ido más allá y ha hecho crecer el Stand Up.

Esa is a selection of the songs this award-winning breakthrough artist has been singing throughout her life. A work that arises from her innermost heart, it is without a doubt the most raw of her works, the most rehearsed and perhaps less retouched. Esa is a live concert and, at times, a musical striptease. Guitar: José Luis Ordóñez.

Smartphones & The Reinvention of the Self
The Future is Now
The mass production of smartphones has changed the ways in which we interact and present ourselves. The spontaneous digital self-portraits we call selfies are reconfiguring our self-image, the way in which the younger generations define and expose themselves, and the construction of a new social media imaginary. Participants: Fran Ilich and Salvador Olguin. Moderator: Naief Yehya.
La masificación de los teléfonos inteligentes ha modificado las maneras en que nos presentamos e interactuamos.
