Description

• Estación imposible - Expreso imaginario y el periodismo contracultural - (2016)

 

In the winter of 1976, a few months of a new coup, the streets of Buenos Aires woke up papered with the announcement of the release of a new magazine called Expreso Imaginario. In the center, crowned by the mists of time, smiling a pierrot, ultimate symbol of the project: the cosmic and vital delirium in the midst of darkness. Founded by Jorge Pistocchi and Pipo Lernoud, the Expreso not only became a refuge but, with the incorporation of young people like Alfredo Rosso Roberto Pettinato, Claudio Kleiman and Fernando Basabru- laid the foundation of specialized journalism.

"Estación Imposible is an excellent bibliographical news for both those interested in the past of the Argentine Rock as restless readers through the history of the press in this blessed country Sergio Pujol says in the prologue. And of course, it is good news for those who know how valuable that stimulus was printed for our aesthetic education and, let's face it, politics. Or was nonpolitical treat the history of native peoples when schools and colleges across the country commemorated the centenary of the so-called 'Conquest of the Desert'? And what about the silence of football during the World ominous 78 ?. Estación Imposible told and retold with great precision what was the magazine-its moments and adventures, its makers and readers, themes and styles-but also when and why was what it was. We placed in the context of the counterculture Argentina version, with its fanzines, his sketches, his universal search, an effort to end both provincialism and many blinders, opposing the discourse of authoritarianism and fear the breath of life still-beating " . Rock, Jazz, Folklore, poetry, literature, science, ecology, films and cartoons in a cocktail that even today remains a myth and a time reference.
