En el Dia Internacional de la Dona volem fer un agra\u00efment a una de les grans fot\u00f2grafes de tots els temps, Dorothea Lange<\/strong>, protagonista absoluta de l\u2019exposici\u00f3 The Dust Bowl<\/strong><\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Lange no nom\u00e9s va destacar en la d\u00e8cada dels 30 en un m\u00f3n, el de la fotografia, dominat absolutament per homes, sin\u00f3 que el seu treball projecta l\u2019aut\u00e8ntica for\u00e7a de les dones en els diferents conflictes socials que va documentar.<\/p>\n

Hem seleccionat una s\u00e8rie de textos que ens parlen d\u2019aquesta import\u00e0ncia de la dona en moments de neguit, impot\u00e8ncia i sobretot, molta dignitat. Alguns estan extrets d\u2019entrevistes a Lange i d\u2019altres, de les descripcions de John Steinbeck en els seus articles period\u00edstics.<\/p>\n

Dorothea Lange\u00a0El encargo que nunca olvidar\u00e9<\/em>, 1959.\u00a0New Deal Photography,\u00a0<\/em>p.233<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00ab[Migrant mother<\/a><\/strong>] Se ha utilizado y publicado incontables veces en todo el mundo, a\u00f1o tras a\u00f1o, y en cierta medida para mi bochorno, pues yo no me considero una \u201cfot\u00f3grafa de una sola fotograf\u00eda\u201d.\u00bb<\/p>\n

\u00abEn una ocasi\u00f3n me quej\u00e9 del uso reiterado de aquella imagen y el olvido de las otras que hab\u00eda producido durante mi dilatada carrera, un astuto amigo me reprob\u00f3: \u201cEl tiempo es el mejor de los editores \u2013dijo- y el m\u00e1s fiable. Cuando una fotograf\u00eda pasa esa prueba, hay que aceptarlo y celebrarlo.\u201d\u00bb<\/p>\n

\u00abMe dej\u00e9 llevar por el instinto, no por la raz\u00f3n; me adentr\u00e9 bajo la lluvia en aquel campamento fangoso y aparqu\u00e9 el coche cual paloma mensajera.\u00bb<\/p>\n

Lange sobre Roy Stryker, entrevista 1964.\u00a0New Deal Photography,\u00a0<\/em>p.18<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00abAquella libertad te permit\u00eda buscar tu propio camino, sin cr\u00edticas de nadie, y eso era algo muy especial. En aquel proyecto se estableci\u00f3 una especie de hermandad. Y eso es algo imposible de duplicar o encontrar. Roy Stryker (\u2026) ten\u00eda instinto para saber lo que era importante.\u00bb<\/p>\n

John Steinbeck a\u00a0Los Vagabundos de la cosecha<\/em>, p.18<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00abDespu\u00e9s de dar a luz y de ver que el beb\u00e9 estaba muerto, la madre se di\u00f3 la vuelta y pas\u00f3 dos d\u00edas echada sin moverse. Hoy se ha levantado y tambalea por la tienda. El \u00faltimo beb\u00e9, nacido hace menos de un a\u00f1o, vivi\u00f3 una semana. Los ojos de esta mujer tienen un aire vidrioso y ausente, como de son\u00e1mbulo. Ya no lava la ropa. Le han arrebatado el instinto de la limpieza, ya no tiene fuerzas. Su marido era aparcero, pero no consigui\u00f3 salir adelante. Ahora ha perdido hasta la ganas de hablar. No te mirar\u00e1 a la cara, porque para eso hacen falta ganas, y para tener ganas hace falta tener fuerzas.\u00bb<\/p>\n

John Steinbeck, en refer\u00e8ncia als campaments federals a\u00a0Los Vagabundos de la cosecha<\/em>, p.33<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00abCuando una nueva familia llega a uno de estos campamentos, suele estar sucia, cansada y desecha. Entonces, un grupo de las buenas vecinas la recibe, le explica sus reglas, la ayuda a instalarse, le ense\u00f1a a utilizar las unidades sanitarias y, si faltan mantas o tiendas, se las consiguen en sus almacenes.<\/p>\n

Lavan y ba\u00f1an a los ni\u00f1os y estudian las necesidades que puedan surgir en un futuro. Si los ni\u00f1os no tienen ropa suficiente, las mujeres del grupo de costura de la comunidad des ponen manos a la obra de inmediato. En caso de que alg\u00fan miembro de la familia est\u00e9 enfermo, llaman al director del campamento o a la enfermera para que se ocupe de su tratamiento.<\/p>\n

Estas buenas vecinas no son trabajadoras sociales cualificadas, pero tienen algo que quiz\u00e1 sea m\u00e1s importante: una comprensi\u00f3n que nace de haber vivido experiencias similares.\u00bb<\/p>\n
