Within the framework of the activities organized for Writer's Day, the Municipality of Concordia, through the Undersecretariat of Education and Culture, carried out the presentation of the talk “Vision and characters of hell in selected works of universal literature,” led by the renowned writer and academic from Concordia, Luis Poenitz.
The meeting, which brought together teachers, students, educational institutions, and the general public, proposed a journey through classic works of Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, and Argentine literature, addressing the representation of hell through different authors and periods.
During the opening, the Undersecretary of Education and Culture, Prof. Carlos Gatto, stated: “We feel deeply proud that a writer and academic of the stature of Luis Poenitz shares his knowledge with our community. This talk is not only a tribute to writers on their day, but also an invitation to continue thinking about and discovering the universal value of the written word.”
In that sense, Gatto highlighted that “one of the main lines of action that we promote from this Undersecretariat, together with the mayor Francisco Azcué, is to promote access to culture and literature as tools for social transformation. We want Concordia to be a city in which culture circulates, is shared, and multiplies.”
For his part, the mayor Francisco Azcué has been developing an agenda of public policies that aim to strengthen the bond between the State and the educational community, betting on training, the active participation of local writers, and the valorization of culture as a strategic axis of development for Concordia.
The activity closed with an exchange space between the public and the speaker, generating a valuable dialogue that further enriched the proposal.
In this way, the Municipality of Concordia continues to consolidate actions that reinforce access to culture, betting on joint work between the municipality, institutions, and the protagonists of the city's literary scene.
