May 19, 2017 (Aula 17, Anayita, 12:00):

Writer M. G. Sanchez and Professor Ana Mª Manzanas. “The Border Within: A Seminar on Gibraltarian Literature.”

The Spanish media frequently refer to the border between Gibraltar and Spain as ‘la verja.’  The Gibraltarian novelist M. G. Sanchez argues that the word ‘verja’ is a misnomer that deliberately underplays the harsh reality regularly witnessed at the border. As Sanchez says: “It is incredible that many people refer to the border as ‘la verja‘, when in reality it is the most “border-like border” within Western Europe. You have all the elements which constitute an old-fashioned border crossing. Armed guards. CC TV cameras. Tall fencing. Constant checking of documentation. Rival flags flying on either side of the divide.” In his presentation ‘The Gibraltar border: a personal history’, Sanchez will talk about how the border has impacted on the lives of ordinary people on both sides of the frontier, including on members of his own family. He will use photographs, video clips, as well as textual selections from his own books to reveal a side of the border that is rarely covered by the mainstream media. “It is the human cost associated with border problems that I most want to focus upon,” M. G. Sanchez says, referring to his forthcoming talk at USAL. “Because that is the one element that always seems to be missing from the debate.”
