Osvaldo Bayer (Santa Fe, February 18, 1927) is an Argentine writer and journalist. He lives in Buenos Aires, and in Linz am Rhein, Germany, where he went into exile in 1974 during the presidency of Isabel Perón. Bayer remained in exile in Germany throughout the "National Reorganization Process" dictatorship (1976–1983).〔Fernando López Trujillo, (An Interview with Osvaldo Bayer, Argentine Public Intellectual and Social Historian ), ''Perspectives on Anarchist Theory'', Vol. 5 - No. 2. Fall, 2001 〕〔“Los Cuentos del Timonel” (2001). Documentary film, biographical sketch on Osvaldo Bayer. Germany, 1999.〕 == Biography == Osvaldo Bayer is a self-defined "ultra-pacifist anarchist”. He was born in the capital city of Santa Fe, and grew up in Bernal, and in the mostly German populated Belgrano neighborhood in the capital city of Buenos Aires.〔 His parents, lived in Rio Gallegos the experience would later become inspiration for his ''Patagonia rebelde’’, a historical reconstruction of the legendary strikes that severely marked the political process in the Argentina of the 20th Century. The essay would eventually be brought to the screen as a fiction film directed by Héctor Olivera. The release of the film would ultimately derived in Osvaldo Bayer’s exile during the presidency of Isabel Perón. 〔 After having worked for an insurance firm and on the merchant marine as an apprentice helmsman,〔 he studied history in the University of Hamburg, Germany, from 1952 to 1956, and became there a member of the Socialist Students’ League.〔 Returning to Argentina afterwards, he dedicated himself to journalism, investigation, and history of Argentina, as well as writing film scenarios. He also studied medicine a year, then philosophy at Buenos Aires. According to him, Disgusted by local socialist policies, he turned towards the ''Federación Libertaria Argentina'' (FLA), having already been acquainted to anarchist literature during his time in the German Socialist Students' League.〔 Furthermore, he founded the Department of Human Rights in the School of Philosophy and Humanities of the University of Buenos Aires.〔 He worked in the newspapers ''Noticias Gráficas'', ''Clarin'' and ''Esquel'', a local newspaper in the Patagonese town of Esquel. In 1958 he founded ''La Chispa'' ("The Spark"), "the first independent newspaper of Patagonia". A year later, he was accused by Pedro Aramburu's military regime of diffusing strategic information, and forced by the National Gendarmerie to quit Esquel.〔 Thereafter, Bayer was from 1959 to 1962 general secretary of the Press Syndicate. Immediately after being expelled from Esquel, he was hired by the national daily ''Diario Clarín'', where he became Chief of Politics' section. He had, under his direction, the journalist Félix Luna, who founded in 1963 the history magazine ''Todo es Historia'', to which Bayer collaborated.〔 In 1963, he was arrested for 63 days by General Juan Enrique Rauch, then Minister of Interior under José María Guido's government, appointed by the military〔 and little-son of Colonel Federico Rauch, for having unsuccessfully proposed during a debate in the library of Rauch (Buenos Aires Province) a plebiscite in order to rename the town to ''Arbolito'', the nickname of the Ranquel (a tribe close to the Mapuche) who had allegedly killed the German militar in battle in 1829. Rauch was qualified by Bayer as guilty of genocide. During María Estela Martínez de Perón's regime, Bayer was threatened several times, due to the content of his work, and mainly of his book ''La Patagonia rebelde'', on the crushing of a rural workers uprising in Patagonia during the early 1920s, under Hipólito Yrigoyen's rule. He was therefore forced to exile himself to Berlin in 1975, while the "Dirty War" was beginning. In 1980 or 1981, Bayer attempted to organize a charter flight to Argentina that would bring a group of prominent Latin American and European intellectuals, including Osvaldo Soriano, Julio Cortázar, and Gunter Grass to Argentina as a protest against the dictatorship. Cortázar's refusal to participate reportedly torpedoed the plan.〔http://elnosoyloquedeberia.wordpress.com/2010/12/07/el-cuento-de-por-que-osvaldo-bayer-estaba-enojado-con-cortazar-un-post-que-calienta-el-fuego-del-dia-de-los-derechos-humanos-que-ya-saben-es-el-viernes/〕 Bayer only returned to Argentina after Raúl Alfonsín's 1983 election and the transition to democracy. Bayer's best-selling first book, on the Italian anarchist Severino Di Giovanni, was proscribed by President Raúl Alberto Lastiri (1973), as was ''La Patagonia Rebelde'', his second work, by Isabel Perón; others were burnt by the military after they took power in 1976. Francesco Rosi, who directed the ''Christ Stopped at Eboli'', planned to make a film adaptation of his book on Di Giovanni, but renounced the project after the 1969 Piazza Fontana bombing, saying it was not the time to make a film on a terrorist.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Osvaldo Bayer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
