SALDANA MONCADA, David Issai. The peace of emptiness and the mob of the revolution: approaches to el samurái de la graflex. Acta poét [online]. 2022, vol.43, n.1, pp.67-91. Epub 25-Abr-2022. ISSN 2448-735X. https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.ap.2022.43.1.458724.
This paper deals with El samurái de la Graflex, by Daniel Salinas Basave. The analysis focuses on the representation of a historical character of Japanese origin: Kingo Nonaka, whose figure represents the irruption of a culture that contrasts with the attitudes and ideosyncrasy of revolutionary Mexico. Nonaka concentrates elements that form the image of a Japan in transition towards modernity. Between meditation as a method for diving and fluency with a camera, Salinas Basave follows Nonaka in his wanderings and allows the reader to appreciate details of the history of the first half of the twentieth century from a perspective “alien” to the Mexican one, while building a space for reflection on writing and memory.
