9. Epilogue

gonzo journalism is not like a fish in the sand outside the universe of HST. On the contrary, there is a great tradition of writers and journalists who have used the method gonzo (the need to be part of something to tell) , not always gonzo journalism to explain their stories for different purposes : embrace progress and to denounce injustice, or as a vehicle of personal expression and self-centered, indifferent to any collective transition. Within the catch-all gonzo , often filled with diverse and disordered materials of different nature, involvement and goals, it opens a vast field for work of collection and classification of journalistic materials, with the aim of paying tribute to their precursors (Nelly Bly or Egon Erwin Kisch, for example) and draw a timeline more legitimate and less reductionist and anchored to HST.

However, the panoramic gonzo so attractive in a bygone, reveals in this this genre was a disaffection alternative newspaper. Today gonzo journalism has become a fixture mostly timely for the showcasing of journalists who aspire to star. Exist in the network (control space ideal for gonzo ) and in print (not their presence has been remarkable and today, reportorial tradition is in its low hours), include a few names like Matt Taibbi and classics like Wallraff, still soldier on, but certainly their use is much higher in the audiovisual, especially as a means of expression of the reporter and satirical humor, style, CQC, or documentary as Michael Moore, a true master in the audiovisual field, and betting as Samanta Villar 21 days. On the other hand, it is shocking regression of journalism that has cornered the ambition be part of something to narrate, to be involved to explain in some radical alternative, more of a subgenre like gonzo not of journalism as a whole.



Also, gonzo journalism is a label that encompasses and complements late journalist embedded , investigative reporter, journalist undercover ... quite normally. Similarly, gonzo journalism, recovery from tradition muckracker , owes much to The New Journalism, because without this new mentality the twist gonzo journalism would have been impossible. Moreover, from a literary perspective gonzo journalism gender has its roots in memoirs and autobiographies, land widely credited literature I but seasoned with some journalistic tools.

gonzo journalism , when the involvement is genuine and sincere, provides a unique perspective inaccessible to conventional reporting. The presence of the journalist in a first plane, raw and with privileged access to information also means a declaration of principles in the face more bureaucratic journalism office, against prefabricated and indolent visions of reality. Do not forget, then, that gonzo journalism is also an ideological and ethical as well as style. However, pollution is also common for journalists who put the desire to impress to inform those who favor the presence of the reporter ( Being There) to the facts themselves, the enthusiasm to be on what happens, journalism being a mere excuse to dive into a coveted lifestyle. Good journalism gonzo , in my opinion, should not ever putting in the final gunshot, the presence of journalists to the facts themselves, and fall into exaggerated autobiography, nor excessive play the yo-yo or uncover Pandora's box. gonzo journalism is a transitional period, with a flight path honest.


In the basement of gonzo journalism Also underlying the new paradigm of the postmodern condition: the discrediting of legitimate dissent and consensus. To announced the failure of the impossibility of settling any suit, the HST of collective memory in Las Vegas and its style of reporting more narcissistic stand decorated with postmodern buzzwords. The HST animal is eaten by a customization process, a radicalization of hedonistic values \u200b\u200band a legitimation of the pleasure we take up their routine style. The important thing is to be oneself, to certify the imposture of the authenticity and personality, be free and offender, as opposed to outdated forms of traditional media. HST, despite their phobias and political fanfare, the apparent descrispación involved in political and ideological positions, a sort of political nihilism, but you can always give a twist and to present diametrically opposed. In Günter Wallraff, the other pole of gonzo journalism , recipes and diluted postmodern revolution and progress are not buried in a relentless retreat on this: there is outdated, but still useful, class consciousness, so little chic today against because you're worth. In mainstream journalism gonzo absorbs the direct emotion transitive discourse, ascribing to the release of I and autonomy of journalism aseptic still hegemonic, seeking a balance moderate a mobile reality we try to adapt and bend the algae under the impulse of the currents.

"I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it."

8. More gonzo

Beyond the triumvirate exposed gonzo journalism has been traced by many journalists and writers, occasionally or regularly. In fact, gonzo journalism has a long tradition within journalism and the novel, yet to explore (a piece of Kapuściński noted by a reader of this blog, for example). From George Orwell to Terry Southern is a great field work yet to settle. The purpose of this chapter is also embracing new names and works for further reading, is to make a swift Panoramic gonzo universe and some of its precursors and co. HST Forget!

Among nonfiction production adventurer Jack London (1876-1926), American writer and pioneer socialist roots of gonzo highlights The People of the Abyss (1903), a book where the author recounts the harsh living conditions in London early last century (1902). The writer wandered for several months, sleeping on the streets or in workhouses , experiencing first hand all the shortcomings and witnessing its effects. In Jack London, and then Wallraff, journalism gonzo is only the means by which vehicle their convictions and give them sound. Not attracted to risk, but the will to transform and fight injustice.

Civilisation has INCREASED man's Producing power an hundred-fold, And Through Mismanagement the men of Civilisation live Worse Than the beasts, and Have less to eat and wear and Protect Them from the elements Than the savage Innuit in a frigid Who climate to-day lives as I Lived in the stone age ten Thousand years ago. The Experience related in this volume Fell to me in the summer of 1902. I Went Down Into the under-world of London with an attitude of mind Which I May best liken to That of the explorer. I Was open to Be Convinced by the Evidence of my eyes, Rather Than by the Teachings of Those Who Had Not Seen, or by the Words of Those Who Had seen and gone before. Further, I Took with me Un certain simple criteria with Which to measure the life of the under-world. That Which made for more life, for physical and spiritual health, was good; That Which made for less life, Which hurt, and dwarfed, and distorted life, was bad.

The People of the Abyss . Jack London

Inspired by the work of Jacob Riis muckracker, author of How the Other Half Lives , the work of London and it served as inspiration George Orwell for his first book Down and Out in Paris and London , gonzo material also recovered. In the first chapter, entitled The Descent , London made the first statement may gonzo :

"But I do not want to see the police," I protested. "What I wish to do is to go down Into the East End and see for myself Things. I wish to know how Are Those people living there, and why They Are living there, and What They Are living for. In short, I am going to live There myself. "

Egon Erwin Kisch (1885-1948), Czech journalist known as Rasender reporter (reporter fast or furious) is a European background unknown, but often cited in relation to Wallraff due to the use of methods close to illegality and deception as a bridge before reporting unavoidable. Kisch infiltrated the cafes, popular pubs, nursing homes, into conversation with homeless people, police and prostitutes, with great conviction. D and streets and nights in Prague (Ed. Tiny), and is the only book translated into Castilian, is a collection of articles about Prague, underground and unknown, made in 1912 with the material published by the author in his Sunday space titled Prague forays. A pioneer of investigative journalism and even police, Kisch is the great history of gonzo journalism European forgotten in journalism schools.

His two major works are Der Rasende Reporter (1924) and Marktplatz der Sensation (1942) ("The market for feelings"), both not translated into Castilian and an English only. In both you can find articles written gonzo first person impetuous. In Down with the homeless in Whitechapel, Kisch disguised as homeless and spends a night in a homeless shelter London's homeless. In Experiment exaggerated tip, Kisch through different routes of the tram in Berlin watching how managers react to the tram and other travelers against exaggerated tip. T beef barley weeks collector, Kisch does just that, in the footsteps of Golem examines the myth of the Golem in Prague.

Another legend of undercover journalism was Elizabeth Jane Cochrane, better known by the pen name Nellie Bly (1864-1922). Nellie Bly was released with its articles of fighting spirit in the Pittsburgh Dispatch until he applied for a job in the paper by Joseph Pulitzer, The New York World . His first assignment was to develop or a story about a mental asylum for women on Blackwell's Island. Before his madness had to try and make everyone believe that it must be admitted: a circus movie reminiscent further in the Beyond Reasonable Doubt of Fritz Lang and, above all, Shock Corridor of Sam Fuller . Considered by doctors, and be able to fool gives states insane and certainly unhealthy. The case attracted the attention of the media. "Who Is This Insane Girl?" headlined the New York Sun . Admitted finally in the psychiatric ward for women res (asylum, skip), Bly was able to see first-person treatment of nurses (rigid and improper), the austere facilities and the hardest: talking to other residents became convinced that some of them were as healthy as she really was.

What, excepting torture, would produce insanity Quicker Than This Treatment? Here is a class of Women Sent to Be cured. Would I like the expert Physicians Who are condemning me for my action, Which has proven Their Ability, to take a perfectly sane and healthy woman, shut her up and make her sit from 6 am until 8 pm on straight-back benches, Do not allow her to talk or move DURING These hours, Give Her not reading and let her know nothing of the world or STI doings, bad food and Give Her Treatment harsh, and see how long it will take to make her insane. Two months Would make her a mental and physical wreck.

Ten Days in a Mad-House . Nellie Bly

After ten days Bly left the asylum and reporting their experiences be published later in book form under the title Ten Days in a Mad-House (1887). The scandal broke and fame. Psychiatrists and judges had been fooled, but more important was that a judge has launched its own investigation into the treatment center remedial purposes, both human and budgetary. Bly managed to turn an unfortunate reality: "I am happy to Be Able to state as a result of my visit to the asylum and the Exposures Consequent thereon, That the City of New York has APPROPRIATE $ 1,000,000 more per annum than ever Before for the care of the insane. So i have at least the satisfaction of the poor unfortunates Knowing That Will Be the Better cared for Because of my work. " Before retiring to serve as an entrepreneur, Nellie Bly traveled around the world in 72 days beating the then world record. His record lasted for months, but his trip was reported in the book Around the World in Seventy-Two Days .

Lester Bangs (1948-1982), musician and music journalist, is a reference gonzo journalism of musical themes. Reputed associate of magazines such as C replacement, Rolling Stone, NME or Village Voice, is recognized as one of the most combative feathers that has existed in music journalism. Bangs are characterized by their total involvement and closeness to the artists, as opposed to visions cooler and academicians. Bangs excesses shared moments glory and crisis, with musicians like Patti Smith or Lou Reed. His inclination to insult and confrontation in interviews, his nerve to come up with fragments of the interviews and to give a new dimension, are part of the legend of a journalist who left early, a victim of abuse. His testimony is compiled in Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung: The Work of a Legendary Critic which sees its effort to separate the product of the artist with lewd language and poignant, but always prescient.

T first time I've Interviewed him I Had No Plans for doing a real story, I Had Been Following His work for years, and just wanted to find out what kind of guy he was. I didn’t expect much, really, or rather what I expected was either some narcissistic twit or more likely a character whose head was permanently lodged in the scientific/cybernetic/conceptual art clouds. Somebody who might be nice enough but was just a little too... ethereal.

The person I did meet that day was relaxed, gracious, and, to use his favorite word, one of the most interesting conversationalists I’d run into in some time. Unlike most rock people, he was interesting in lots of things beyond music and kicks; unlike many academic types, he recognized that a lot of the things he was interested in were somewhat arcane or overly theoretical, and that the jargon some of these concerns inevitably arrived in was incredibly dry. “Most of what I do has been thought about rather than talked about,” he said at one point, “and my resources of information are kind of quasi-scientific, which means that the language that comes out is really objectionable in a way.” He seemed kind of amused by this, when not at pains to make sure he wasn’t boring his guests to death. One of his biggest problems seemed to be people who wanted to impress him and acted like they knew what he was talking about when they really didn’t, letting him go on and on and on when he knew he had the tendency to get carried away. The clincher came at the end of the interview; it was getting towards dinnertime, and suddenly I had this picture of a Britisher who for all I knew didn’t have that many friends here, sitting in his hotel room in Gramercy Park all night, so I asked him if he’d like to get something to eat and then come over and listen to some records. “Sure,” he said, and then “Uh, say… um… would you happen to know any nice girls you could introduce me to?

Brian Eno: A Sandbox In Alphaville . Lester Bang s

In the sports field the reference is George Plimpton (1927 0 -20 3 ) , m tif ul acetic character development most his writings to the literary magazine The Paris Review . Pt Plim n is a reference of undercover journalism through their stories in the qu and leading into the object of study in order to relate the experience first person banned as a mere witness. This was done lion tamer; sparring boxer Archie Moore, light heavyweight world champion and record of fights won by KO at 145, for a while quarterback made the Detroit Lions, goalie for the Boston Bruins occasional ice hockey ( Open Net) , tried to play the professional circuit of golf (PGA Tour), was a layman percussionist of the New York Philharmonic Leonard Bernestein durant and toured Canada, played a match with Garry Kasparov, was beaten by former No. 1 tennis Pancho Gonzales, etc. Plimpton, film actor of limited travel, was an expert to delve into the intricacies of professional sports and recount their experiences from a amateur view, not so much focused on the sport and its rules, but rather in the personalities that populated the locker room, the stands, hotels ... with large doses of humor. Two of his books are distinguished Out of My Game, based on their passage through the baseball fields, and Paper Lion of his journey with the football team of Lions etroit D . Recently former player of Joventut Badalona, \u200b\u200bPaul Shirley, undertook a similar literary experience.

Of all it s the closest to the principles of HST is no doubt Matt Taibbi (1970 -), which in fact occupies a section similar to that of HST (and PJ O'Rourke) in Rolling Stone, with his column Road Rage, addition to writing for New York Press. Taibbi, son of a journalistic eg NBC, has a talent for incisive c political OMMENTARY, which do so fond was HST, and holds a i v Commission equally skeptical of the world of journalism and politics. In oc Asion chaotic, anecdotal, hilarious and caustic Taibii also pr acetic undercover journalism ( undercover journalism.) In his report Jesus Made Me Puke. Matt Taibbi Undercover with the Christian Right , Taibbi is camouflaged in the church's pastor John Hagee, one of the most influential evangelical preachers in the country with the aim of providing a look at the evangelical universe, so influential in the 8-year reign George W. Bush. Another of his masterpieces gonzo occurs when infiltrates the birthday party of Sen. Conrad Burns, masquerading as a member of a lobby representing an oil company that wants to drill in the Grand Canyon. The fortunes of political journalist of the country wild and fun do not stop here. Taibbi has wandered in un bote por el apocalíptico New Orleans post-Katrina con Sean Penn, ha viajado a Irak como periodista empotrado ( embedded) donde paso tres noches en Abui Ghraib, etc.

It was a drive of several hours back to the FOB in Mosul that night, and after we made it without incident, we sacked out for the night. While we were sleeping, another soldier got shot outside the wall, but he wasn’t with us. Moreover, word filtered back the next day that the first police station we’d visited in Tal Afar the day before had been shot up with AK fire. When we gassed the vehicles before leaving the FOB, we ran into another squad that had been hit; I talked to a twenty-year-old Californian named Anthony Matthews who was just coming back from medical leave after taking an IED in the face. Matthews looked just barely old enough to have a beard and reminded me of someone I’d see pumping Slurpees in a Georgia truck stop, but his face was already lightly scarred from the bomb fragments. Like most of the Iraq casualties of late, he was a gunner.

Fort Apache, Iraq . Matt.Taibbi

Taibbi es autor de varios libros y recopilaciones de artículos. Spanking the Donkey: Dispatches from the Dumb Season es una recopilación de enojados artículos escritos durante la cobertura de las elecciones presidenciales del 2004, infiltrado y crítico con ambos bandos contentious, as the star journalists. Some articles in which the American journalist displays all his sharpness, his taste for the stage, eccentric characters and situations, entertaining and appealing in the details. Although constantly hang tag Thompsonianism , he has always tried to distance himself "I'm so sick of it. That term people throw around, gonzo journalism, pero it's synonymous with Hunter Thompson. He is gonzo journalism. The guy I really WAS Grew up admiring HL Mencken. " Still, the association is as inevitable as evident in the issues and their treatment, and also because, like HST, has a great personality deja huella en sus escritos y los lectores.

I paused, wincing inwardly. An outsider coming into this world will feel sure that the moment he coughs up one of those “God told me to put more English on my tee shot” lines, his dark game will be instantly visible to all, and he’ll be made the target of one of those Invasion of the Body Snatchers-style point-and-screech mob scenes. But nothing could be further from the truth. You simply cannot go wrong praising God in this world; overdoing it is literally impossible. I would understand this better by the end of the weekend. Maria smiled. “I feel the same way. Have you ever been to one of these Encounters?” “No, I haven’t,” I said. "Me Neither," she said. "I'm really excited." "They're wonderful," Said the matronly Mexican woman in front of me, turning around. "They really change you forever."

Jesus Made Me Puke . Matt.Taibbi

Another of his most famous books are compilations Smells Like Dead Elephants : Dispatches from a Rotting Empire including the history of the party of Senator Conrad Burns ( How to Be a Lobbyist Without Really Trying ), his trip to Iraq and stay in Abu Ghraib, his step the post-Katrina New Orleans or California Chronic trial against Michael Jackson that define the path of a social and political reporter consumed by the spirit of gonzo . Another of his books is The Great Derangement: A Terrifying True Story of War, Politics, and Religion at the Twilight of the American Empire , including its incursion into the church of John Hagee, in addition to chronic unrestrained press conferences Congress-with the emphasis on corruption and the growing desperation of America, and meetings of organizations convinced that behind the 9 / 11 lies a big lie, the conspiracy. Taibbi just to assert that Christians Reborn ( Born-again-Christian ) and terrorists no major differences in the background. All with a style of tabloid accused countless times, cynical and free.

Delving into the side which threw gonzo journalism a style close to the political humorist, worried about selling yourself through any story and scandal highlights PJ O'Rourke (1947 - .) Just as Michael Moore-style reports muckracker , while entertaining and occasionally manipulated into the left with the feeling Rourke is a journalistic no intent, more While this is a new columnist who undertakes risk, which is expressed in a sarcastic and out of politically correct language, which releases inflammatory and provocative opinions, with the sole aim of creating a chorus of supporters and detractors, to talk him. Journalism where the contents of the complaint is not as important as the fact of breaking the rules and be proud of it. His long trips (River Olga, Lebanon, etc) are invited to laugh more badass than productive reflection, being a product of small, lightweight travel. O'Rourke began his controversial voyage in humor magazine National Lampoon, created 1971 as an offshoot of the Harvard Lampoom magazine, with wide dissemination the mid-70's as a result of crude humor and surreal.

the early 80's, O'Rourke begin his work with Rolling Stone magazine to be followed by several books. The bizarre sense of humor O'Rourke is mixed with a conservative political ideology on economic issues, except in sexual matters which liberal states. Easily to the insult against those who differ from their proclamations, O'Rourke argues that "God is a Republican and Santa Claus is a Democrat Because God is a tough, unsentimental SOB and Santa Claus is a sweet old fellow Who Does not exist. " O'Rourke bet some of his writings for free markets and minimal state intervention. Frivolity goes so far as to say that we live in the best moment in history and that the U.S. is the best place to live, while deals with humor ( All The Trouble in the World ) sensitive issues such as overcrowding, hunger, environmental issues, multiculturalism and the misery of the Third World, especially those countries whose dictators have used socialism as a pretext. Now

a lot of people say to me, "Hey, PJ, you like to drive fast. Why not join a responsible organization, such as the Sports Car Club of America, and enjoy participation in sports car racing? That way you could drive as fast as you wish while still engaging in a well-regulated spectator sport that is becoming more popular each year.” No thanks. In the first place, if you ask me, those guys are a bunch of tweedy old barf mats who like to talk about things like what necktie they wore to Alberto Ascari’s funeral. And in the second place, they won’t let me drive drunk. They expect me to go out there and smash into things and roll over on the roof and catch fire and burn to death when I’m sober. They must think I’m crazy. That stuff scares me. I have to get completely shit-faced to even think about driving fast. How can you have a lot of exciting thrills when you’re so terrified that you wet yourself all the time? That’s not fun. It’s just not fun to have exciting thrills when you’re scared. Take the heroes of the Iliad for instance – they really had some exciting thrills, and were they scared? No. They were drunk. Every chance they could get. And so am I, and I’m not going out there and have a horrible car wreck until somebody brings me a cocktail.

How to DRIVE FAST on DRUGS while getting your
WING-WANG SQUEEZED and not SPILL YOUR DRINK . P.J. O’Rourke

One of its most popular items is How to DRIVE FAST ON DRUGS while getting your Wing-Wang SQUEEZED AND NOT SPILL YOUR DRINK or refute Ferrari decline of the West, his collection of articles published under the title Republican Party Reptile . Provocative satire bordering on irresponsibility, motivation always fun ( Because it's fun) and the risk, although in reality he only dreams about guns at all Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda in the country.

The latter phenomenon, or literary or journalistic but genuine bestseller , success in partnering with gonzo journalism is Tucker Max (1975 -). Fermented on the Internet, perhaps the most sickening version from the journalistic point of view, bound by the mass media to gonzo. Considered by many advertisers as the last gonzo , Tucker Max is the author of book I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (2006), a collection of s hort-stories , published on its website, where political incorrectness and verbal abuse, promiscuity, the humor of the series A merican Pie and Sex in New York , debauchery, the embarrassing sexual encounters, drunkenness have done ... cocktail that has allowed him to sell 70,000 copies the first year. Comedian, actor and character entertainment, Tucker Max has a vast and wide audience eager to read their fortunes told in first person, from the sheets. His presentation, apocalyptic tradition for gonzo , is comic: "My name is Tucker Max, and I am an asshole. I get excessively drunk Inappropriate at times, disregard social Norms, indulge Every whim, ignore the Consequences of my actions, mock idiots and posers, sleep with more Than Women is safe or reasonable, and just act like a raging Generally dickhead. But, I do Contribute to Humanity in one very important way. I share my adventures with the world. They Are Known as: The Tucker Max Stories. " Little or nothing to do with journalism gonzo . The content proposed by Tucker Max is something that the books of journalism can turn the page, but their slogan is pure unadulterated gonzo: "I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed living it."

Also, a number of journalists in connection with gonzo journalism (plus all those I have forgotten to include in a list very expandable) of work I have not found nor reference weight. Journalists, for example, as Alan Cabal, a contributor to CounterPunch magazine and before New York Press, famous for his defense of Ernst Zündel, Canadian neo-Nazi. Cabal itself as a "certified Satanist." Other journalists on the orbit are Jordan Kobos, John Birmingham, Tom Luffman and investigative reporter Greg Palast.

7. Robert Juan-Cantavella

Robert Juan-Cantavella (Almassora, 1976), former editor of the journal Lateral is the last writer who has invoked the figure of HST and gonzo journalism when to launch his book The Golden . Author of novels and Another Fiction Proust, Jean-Cantavella, through his alter ego Trevor Escargot (following the lead of Raoul Duke), he was commissioned to write an article on Marina D'Or, the largest resort town and leisure in Europe, now a symbol of the decline of the bricks. Thus, Escargot frolics in urban paradigm of irrationality and excess, a Pharaonic environmental impact model, a mirage, and outmoded dream, similar to Las Vegas of HST, where nothing seems to be advertising, except the account. However, Escargot is not locked in the artificiality of Marina d'Or, but their cynicism is up to the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to Valencia.

The author, in his words, is "very interested in the border between genders and to update the new journalism of the 70 United States." In addition to holiday in Marina D'Or, Jean-Cantavella boasts a rigorous work of documentation, while acknowledging a job of "misuse of facts," filtered through passages hallucinogens. Game between reality and fiction, Juan-Cantavella combines fierce criticism, the rapture biography, custom, metaperiodismo surrealism and with a great deal of verbiage nutty, away from the subtext suggestive of HST and conjugating your own itinerary of phobias. The author is sincere when he said in an interview that his primary interest was aesthetic rather than provoking thought in particular Fear and Loathing in Marina D'Or . Unusual product in the English literary journalism, bordering on kitsch that Kisch, the reader is complicit in all the movements of Trevor Escargot, intake of pills, his hallucinations, the launch of his tape recorder, etc.. The author even allows dialogue with himself, Jean-Cantavella, and charge back against the SGAE (remember that the author has been denounced by the same syndicate after an article in Chimera where he accused the company to exercise piracy).

And how do we sell the author the product beyond its virtues? So with a new label with which to attract attention, a new slogan for a product already known. Despite declaring fan of gonzo journalism , Juan-Cantavella speaks in a manifesto, posted on web, aportaje , a kind of story where "every character is very real and any resemblance to the fiction of the facts, a wonderful chance." And instead of gonzo journalism talks about Punk Journalism, "a bastard form of journalism Gonzo." In his essay Juan-Cantavella writes:

In aportaje there is no truth pact governing the designs of the newspaper report. Established between the journalist and the reader, similar to the first tacky agree with the accuracy of the information provided to the second, so if the label is respected journalist acts with prudence and diligence, before even reading the text the reader will know what you are going to tell you is true. [...] So when the reader is confronted with a text of these features is confident that as you will have is the reality and not fiction. The

aportaje, however, this covenant does not exist. The reader is faced with aportaje not be sure that everything is going to read is true. This does not mean that everything you read is untrue. In fact, in a profound sense means the opposite. What changes is the attitude and the attitude of the reader who is facing a aportaje is not based on trust, like the story, but suspicion. The reader with a aportaje you are not given to know in advance if they are going to tell you really happened.

gonzo journalism , if you think about it, not advance muc h further by s rhetorical castle of sand, but should focus on continuing the path journalistic Wallraff more bite and edge, as it does in some passages Juan-Cantavella. However, one has sensation with his latest work that you try to fake, despite the honesty of its author. First, the covenants of veracity between journalism and the reader never had less validity today, despite the official package. Precisely this was one of the bridges blown up by The New Journalism , and its allergy to the dogma of objectivity virtual. It does not seem honest and build walls to cut down to make them blow up, in order to get medals and attract old lazy critics.

More interesting is perhaps the game of mistrust that arises Juan-Cantavella, where the reader question everything and ends his reading without the slightest certainty. However, this confusion (did or did not happen / was there or was not there) susceptibility or rather, has always been on the back of gonzo journalism, accused of promoting constructions of reality to suit the reporter, as is inherent in all of journalism. Hence, under the premises of Juan-Cantavella the concept sale devour any journalistic purpose, but I fear that the clever author has no such pretensions outdated service. In fact, we talked about perhaps more novel not gonzo journalism gonzo , and not by their output format. Juan-Cantavella

insists to distance and also speaks of Old Journalism The finding that New Journalism is outdated, when The New Journalism old currency reached levels not yet overcome and concerning not supplanted. It is a broken tradition. As far as gonzo journalism regards, Juan-Cantavella substitutes the Journalism Punk , bastard form of gonzo journalism, "... in the case of Journalism Punk not only care about the elegant traps realistic narrative but also other less respectable having to do with pure confabulation, malicious parody, sincere lies, speculation kamikaze, the blunder free immediate irresponsibility, etc ... or what amounts to the same, the Punk Journalism also traffics in lies because he knows what he is saying is true. " If you've read HST, especially the post- Hell's Angels, one is just all kinds of traps disreputable (pure fable, parody malicious lies sincere, speculation kamikaze, the blunder free, irresponsibility immediately) so that there is no justification for a new label. In short, is a fictional label which creates confusion and some notoriety, with the complicity of editorial interest, which does not mean that the novel has passages critical content, thugs and entertaining but for the amusement of the author in the flesh.

6. Günter Wallraff

Wallraff, bookseller and worker rather than a journalist, is surely the gonzo journalist with an ideological and social commitment more established, and one of the best investigative reporters ever seen. His immersion in the scene is quite radical and complete, without hesitation and in order to expose injustice. A transitional period in any order. As gonzo journalism of HST, the point of view Wallraff is the protagonist narrator. Wallraff is masked and live events in the first person impersonating identities (Al), but her will is testimonial and conscientiously. The German journalist unlike HST is not shown, but is masked and acts to access realities that through its presence as a journalist would be massaged by the authorities or directly blocked. Also camouflage is effective to overcome self-censorship exploited themselves, often scary and unlikely to compromise their miserable stability. That is, while HST is not hidden, Wallraff is forced to silence their professional practice. His implication is absolute and laborious preparation of their projects, as evidenced by his landing in Soweto under apartheid as a backdrop, frustrated when Mandela was released. Wallraff records it all (secret recordings, photographs, photocopies) with the purpose of safeguarding the best possible future litigation. In his fieldwork, its staging and writing, adds the address of orchestra where copes with all threats and adverse reactions while stimulating their work, and most helpful, if possible, to enlighten the hie nas. Reissues of some of their stories, with some parts deleted at the request of the courts, being replaced by new these details, is but a mockery of the judicial system and serfdom.

Wallarff speaks in first person, but it connects the reader with the experiences of the voiceless and lvidados or by large, medium and small companies. His prose is simple and blunt, without much ornamentation. A point of view, the narrator-witness, combined with some editorial omniscience and extensive fieldwork. Thus we find in its pages reports, photographs, newspaper clippings, while extending the information in his narrative, often with specialized sources always necessary to understand more tino risks and situations narrated. In addition, Wallraff puts great care in the reproduction of dialogue combining completeness and immediacy.

Today, anyone who wishes to combat lies and ignorance and to write the truth must overcome at least five difficulties. Lacks the courage to write the truth, when drowning everywhere, intelligence discovered it when they hide everywhere, art as a weapon to make it manageable, and the trial to select those in whose hands will be effective, the cunning to spread it among themselves. These difficulties are great for those who were expelled or fled, and even for those who write in the countries of bourgeois freedom.

Five difficulty writing the truth . Bertolt Brecht.

Wallraff Very often been litigated with allegations called into question the legality of gonzo journalism so well concealed. A journalism that causes real fear among employers and public authorities. The is the eternal dilemma: Does the end justify the means? Is it legal and moral for a journalist to lie to get to the facts? Perhaps the concern is a context, both legal and human, in which the journalist can not ever access the reportable situations and are forced at their own risk to cross barriers guarded by the murky legality. Fortunately, freedom of press and public interest have prevailed, and research methods have been enacted constitutional Wallraff. The operating period covered by laws can ever prevail or restrict fundamental rights, like the abuse of power can not blend in with the defense of honor. Wallraff Brechtian adheres to the ideology and says, "You have to disguise to expose society, is to cheat and pretend to find out the truth. " A categorical denunciation to the judicial scaffold, helpful to the capital and deaf to the oppressed. Perhaps the journalist travels sometimes illegal methods, but not unlawful. In an interview in July Saw The Country , Wallraff declared "If there were in the RFA is real freedom of expression should not use these methods work."

Also, as any gonzo journalism , Wallraff shows guts of the few contemporary journalist, spokesman for administrative profile and indifferent to the work of thousands of rotting workers: they are self-satisfied and without regard to their routines ennoblement of the owners of such factories or business groups. In short: hacks built into the system, well-paid. Infiltration greatly stands out for 4 months ( On the Art of the headlines. Wallraff, alias Hans Esser, journalist Bild) in the newspaper Bild, tabloid prototype in order to make his way manipulate and distort the facts.


The commitment and talent to boot Wallraff the shadows and make the facts public in their crusade to denounce the free market system based on oppression of capital, can see the influence of journalists as the Czech Egon Erwin Kisch, known as reporter rasender (reporter dared) and friend of Brecht, who was already using illegal methods scrubbed. However, in two overlapping Walrraff background. First, they admired Émile Zola and nonfiction, but especially muckrakers Americans of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, gathered many of them in the magazine Collier's Weekly and especially under the leadership of Norman Hapgood as a director. The muckrackers are scavengers of manure and pioneers of investigative journalism and reporting. In the early twentieth century attacked strongly against the shortcomings of the capitalist system, as they attacked the corruption of politicians and businessmen, the poor conditions of workers and immigrants, child prostitution, the role of women ... always with the label at the expense of Communists and Socialists in a country that looked suspiciously. Upton Sinclair, Nellie Bly, Ida Tarbell, Lincoln Steffens, Ray Standard and Riis, or contemporaries such as Ralph Nader, are some names. They all reported with transforming vocation - and also why not say, with some sensational - with the aim of shaking and make society aware of the inequalities and corruption that sheltered within it. A rebellious spirit which today are in the realm of ideas and testing, but no action journalistic reporting.

Realistic means: it reveals the complex coincidence of social relations which exposes the key ideas as the ideas of the ruling class.
Bertolt Brecht

His book is distinguished scapegoat, probably the best example of gonzo journalism ever written. Through Ali, a young Turkish illegal in West Germany, Wallraff leads us down the hall of horrors to the high Europe civilized and cultured. Xenophobia, oppression and slavery silent criminal entrepreneurs in collusion with government, mengelenianos projects, etc.. "Explore the limits of human depravity, Wallraff unsuspected forces us to probe Honduras and get a laugh at the foul bowels of the top European, cultured and civilized," wrote Juan Goytisolo. To his enemies (patronage, public authorities and envious journalists) is an irresponsible Wallraff fan the flames of class struggle, as well pray some pamphlets against the journalist. However, his writings are valuable documents and put faces to the suffering outlined in computer graphics and loosely organized paragraphs in the history books. Evidence of the true challenge posed by his writings is the fact that has been subjected to illegal surveillance, such were the efforts of some powers to paralyze his journalism and revolutionary.


In sum, Wallraff is the best gonzo journalist because their stories are the paradigm of investigative reporters, the result of a methodical fieldwork and also with a sense of progress and well-defined orientation. Wallraff not released as HST, on occasion, to adventure, to see that game on the fly. Wallraff is a journalist and reporting to transform consciousness, regardless. Likewise, immersion in the story does not encyst in a cogorza of self. Instead, they are reporting more pluralistic and belies his vision through the presentation of scenes, in a direct style that puts any concession stylistic crudeness. The game of yo-yo is left by the wayside for the applause. The reader can not escape the reality can not take shelter: the gruesome and surreal freezes the blood. undesirable journalist, a title which also gives its name to a collection of articles written between 1966 and 1977, probably is the power both to readers who only accept that journalism, distilled to sparing sips and smug.

HST, prophet and chief bulwark of a reductionist and historic little gonzo , is the author who has gone furthest and the most attention received. His personality, a real pole of attraction, like his writings, have overshadowed any new attempt at assimilation and relaunch. Weakness for inflatable dolls, cloth tapes to all animals to frighten the neighborhood moaning, drugs and alcohol ("I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence or insanity to Anyone, But They've always work for me."), A unhealthy passion for guns that led him to partner with the reviled National Rifle Association, a supporter of the legalization of all drugs, obsessed with Nixon ("is able to shake your hand and stab at the same time") which devotes acid fragments, especially in Article Presenting: The Richard Nixon Doll (overhauled 1968 Model) ... in short, a character able to sell and attract new audiences by disparate reasons. Despite its critical corrosive Nixon, HST feel a nostalgic attraction and a combative character who encourages, even at times make you fall into the disproportionate (when compared with Nixon's legislature Orwell's 1984.) However, the figure goes beyond an altarpiece of eccentricities with which he delighted. Similarly, HST goes beyond gonzo and is also an incisive political commentator of his era.

Under his guidance, and also of his alter ego Raoul Duke, the gonzo reached its most lopsided in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and its more focused with Hell's Angels , his portrait of the famous band of motorists: "Stressed to the action, long hair in the wind, beards and bandanas flapping, earrings, armpits, chain, swastikas and Harleys unguarded while traffic on 101 is opened, nervous, to let pass the training and the outbreak of a dust storm. " HST joined them and shared their way of life as a journalist participant. The result was the book that made him and gave him notoriety, a story in the style of HST was not devoured by the magnificence of their way of life particular. HST is clear about its original purpose: to report an attractive reality that is being watered and mythologized by the mass media in order to sell colorful headlines and rigged. HST, within their margins, is focused and not get carried away in his account by describing experiences and feelings without rhyme or reason. The light focuses mainly Hell's Angels in her eyes, always present. His first person still was not as hungry to devour the story and make it unrecognizable. As expressed Chillon: "The reporter lives in Los Angeles just because you have to, but not disgusts the reader to recall his personal journey narcissistic."

Where does this leave the Hell's Angels and thrilled thousands of Californians who (according to Time ) are sick of concern for them? Are they really trapped and enrielados these outlaws, as proposed by the news magazines? Will the honest again walk the streets alone? The answer is that nothing has changed, except that some people who call themselves the Hell's Angels have a new meaning and importance identidad.

Hell's Angels was born article ( The Motorcycle Gangs: Losers and Outsiders ) in 1965 to The Nation. Its publication drew interest from several publishers, including Random House he proposed extending the experience and publish a book. Hell's Angels is a novel balanced reportage The New Journalism and journalism Gonzo . And especially close to the values \u200b\u200bof journalism. HST has doubts about the reality of facts distorted by big media and shows a commitment. The author warns about the danger of building a reality decanted by economic imperatives, the yellow journalism that sacrifices the rigor of the Booby informative, lazy journalism that favors a fiction perhaps true face of fact-checking site . The HST replica journalist who has submitted a postcard with a veneer of truth, a story that criminalizes based on appearances and unsubstantiated opinions. Also, HST starts solfa judges who only seek notoriety by la exaltación de los hechos y sus condenas.

When the much-quoted report was released, the local press—primarily the San Francisco Chronicle, which had earlier done a long and fairly objective series on the Hell’s Angels—made a point of saying that the Monterey charges against the Hell’s Angels had been dropped for lack of evidence. Newsweek was careful not to mention Monterey at all, but the New York Times referred to it as “the alleged gang rape” which, however, left no doubt in a reader’s mind that something savage had occurred. It remained for Time, though, to flatly ignore the fact that the Monterey rape charges had been dismissed. Its article leaned heavily on the hairiest and least factual sections of the report, and ignored the rest. It said, for instance, that the Hell’s Angels initiation rite “demands that any new member bring a woman or girl [called a ‘sheep’] who is willing to submit to sexual intercourse with each member of the club.” That is untrue, although, as one Angel explained, “Now and then you get a woman who likes to cover the crowd, and hell, I’m no prude. People don’t like to think women go for that stuff, but a lot of them do.” We were talking across a pool table about the rash of publicity and how it had affected the Angel’s activities. I was trying to explain to him that the bulk of the press in this country has such a vested interest in the status quo that it can’t afford to do much honest probing at the roots, for fear of what they might find. “Oh, I don’t know,” he said. “Of course I don’t like to read all this bullshit because it brings the heat down on us, but since we got famous we’ve had more rich fags and sex-hungry women come looking for us that we ever had before. Hell, these days we have more action than we can handle.

The Motorcycle Gangs. Losers and Outsiders . Hunter S. Thompson

Con su colorido y bizarro estilo, spiced with humor particular, HST exposes the hypocrisy of the mainstream media, but neither escapes the temptation to embellish his story to gain notoriety and readers. Ralph Hubert "Sonny" Barger, an institution of Hell's Angels and which lived HST, relates in his biography, Hell's Angel: The Life and Times of Sonny Barger and the Hell's Angels Motorcycle Club , that facet of HST, prone to exaggerate and lie in the eye of the hurricane. Sonny Barger explains, HST exaggerated enough to situations causing his beat as bait in order to improve the bandages from his book: "I got beat up by us, But That September I up. After the book WAS done all I come around us and Said can I go on a run with now. I got in an argument with a guy, I caused a fight, I got beat up and the cover of the book said "I met. I Lived with and I Was Almost Killed by ... "[...] What a guy! You know, we're gonna get in a fight with the cops and have jumps in the trunk of the car, But he'll get beat historical butt to sell a book. "


Years later his most egotistical, crazy ay corrosive put on boots and Loat Fear hing in Las Vegas, crazy and anarchic tale HST experiences in the artificial paradise of Las Vegas. A book hallucinogen without clear journalistic purpose. Gonzo sure, but do journalism? Rather picaresque novel. Appeared in two volumes in the magazine Rolling Stone , HST symbolizes the decline of popular culture and its values \u200b\u200bthrough a surrealist and contaminated drugs. A story with some similarities decadent background with T I Fitzgerald Great Gatsby, a writer admired by HST to the point where I have transcribed Great Gatsby T during their youth. HST's style of journalism away while its corrosive and demented prose poetry extols the novelistically footsteps of automatic writing. I refer to the opinions expressed by any student or reader, in any review, always putting the emphasis in the wild, the hilarity of the situations or the madness of his characters. There is no doubt that, for better or for worse, this is an unbalanced story and, I dare say, without a sense of takeoff and landing, though the funnel critical decay often serves as both a broken for stitching. A landscape, the American in the decade of 60-70, hallucinogenic itself a shell HST using journalism to build tangible fantasies through parody.

His vision of society where the only motivation is survival permeates his writings, while making the American dream in a choteo, in the classic American tragedy that so many writers have endeavored to narrate. "This place is like the Army: the shark ethic Prevails - eat the Wounded. In a closed Society WHERE everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final not is stupidity, "he writes in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas , a trip transitive irrelevant and that he himself seems to understand, which gradually weaves a bitter story on American unreality, without apparent cause and effect, like life itself and its wreckage.

Although the message is not essential in a play (there always is, because for that they are giving birth brainy theoretical nonsense about books that claims of others), if we talk about journalism can not be spared and in this work is buried right HST in the rubble of the egotism of the author more concerned with their own personal itinerary in a light shade. While denouncing the excesses of its epicenter, Las Vegas, he falls into his own excesses. And he admits: "I Should Explain and cut back at this point, Fear & Loathing That in Las Vegas is a failed experiment in Gonzo Journalism. My idea WAS to buy a fat notebook and record the whole thing, as it Happened, Then send in the notebook for publication - without editing. " In fact, their methodology was to send all the raw footage, pages and pages written under the inspiration of the moment, in the wake of the "first Thought, best thought" Allen Ginsberg: a difference of patience in the construction of old Ginsberg argues for keeping the mind constantly prepared in breathing and a large dose of discipline to absorb the moments and immortalize them. Either way, the book emerged as a great success, eclipsing Hell's Angels, discontinued in Spain by Anagram.


However, much of the work of HST for magazines and newspapers are collected in four volumes entitled The Gonzo Papers (The Great Shark Hunt, Generation of Swine, Songs of the Doomed, Better Than Sex) . Through his articles for The Nation , Scanlan's Monthly, Playboy, Cycle World, National Observer, Rolling Steone, The San Francisco Examiner ... HST can be discerned across the border as a pre-gonzo journalism, literary profile and more formal, to his own universe more bizarre and confusing, where Being There (sincere or not) pollute a journalistic vision of any kind. Over time the event HST becomes for the McGuffin , the pretext for a description of the back (chronicle of the Super Bowl), or simply to give vent to his personal universe of obsessions. In a way, skirting HST metaperiodismo that illuminates the work of the journalist on the news, while production routines reveals their often ridiculous: the metaperiodismo understood as a criticism of the profession, putting on the table honesty, because the journalist explains their access to information and their perception of events. Objectivity is unmasked. Faced with so many realities as witnesses or survivors, HST spears reveals its secrets and leaflets: Express Yourself.

If The New Journalism and caused the collision between two concepts, hitherto antagonistic, as the alleged fact and fiction, gonzo journalism further dynamite any border. Any school of journalism always matched by concepts such as objectivity and balance of sources and viewpoints. However, returning to the idea of \u200b\u200bFaulkner (the best fiction is far more true Than Any kind of journalism) that wields by HST flag, many journalists have ever encountered in the position that after interviewing someone for hours fail to When building a consistent and faithful dialogue without changing some words. There is no denying that sometimes the facts presented as fiction provide a more transparent and adjacent to the reader, but then it can fall into the trap of replacing the interview a conversation and then write the interview that the reporter seems closer to the sensations experienced and one that most resembles the image you want to project the interviewee and the reader expects.

Exceptionally, authors such as Whitman, Twain and Dreiser have admitted making up stories. Alastair Reid of The New Yorker admitted to having invented stories, characters and scenes in their stories: journalists inevitably deals in the world of fact and fiction is an inevitable toll. John Hersey once said: "As to journalism, as well May we grant right away That There Is Such Thing as Absolute Objectivity. It is impossible to present in words the truth or the whole story. He concluded that "Payable deal of harm has-been done in Recent years by the notion That Something Can Be Both a novel and journalism and the Same Time." Mailer also believed that fiction and the facts could be mixed, however journalistic ethics warns about the difference between the subtraction of a data and the invention of a data. Some journalists like Janet Cook crossed the border, featuring an inadvertent typing, a whole present in small fragments by a fictitious back: Jimmy, an 8 year old heroin addict who sparked media interest and that in fact America was only the construction of many Jimmy's neglected. A story in journalistic format, manufactured, but drawn from fieldwork interviews with dozens of social workers and the approach to similar cases. Once disclosed the absence of Jimmy, neither the public nor the paper the author will forgive such immorality newspaper, forgetting the myriad existing Jimmy's . The Pulitzer was rejected by The Washington Post . John Hersey went better off to warn in their report J oe is Home Now : "This story is But in fiction form is based on fact. It is distilled from the current DISCHARGED Different Experiences of 43 soldiers. "

Although literary reality, invention or not, is a announce c onvention do a truth from a p Unto semiotic view, this has always clashed with the ethics journalism. gonzo journalism , individualistic and romantic expression, where the self is very important, the dangers of subjectivity in the newspaper account accrue. HST is, for example, an individualist paradigm of the Renaissance, want to do things his way and apart from others, often projecting a lifestyle idealized fantasies become facts. Through his writings will clear vague intuitions about what you do with your life, while building one with the complicity of the reader. The quotation from Rimbaud J e est un autre comes in handy sometimes. And is that the main danger from the journalistic point of view, the so-called gonzo journalism is the game of yo-yo. If Pandora's box represents the subconscious, his demons and their caves, journalism has always been inclined to close this box and key. Do not let those demons emerge and make their mark in the story as with Rimbaud. Write Alejandro Iñigo You can never make the press report on something personal: "It is valid to use a journalistic space as an outlet for our resentments and frustrations in society, current ideological or political systems." In your opinion, need to close this Pandora's box to give the work a more professional, more journalistic, without ever the journalist, there's more important than the story and characters. Otherwise would be using journalism as a literary disguise, perhaps to cover up his insecurities as a novelist.

paddling between the Pandora's box and the Bonfire of the Vanities, gonzo journalism struggle to be recognized as journalism, with their strengths and weaknesses, even mutating Wallraff personality: "He who is looking in the mirror, not me. " Genres



The narrator's point of view of protagonist has a great tradition in literature and the memoirs of me, not to be confused with journalism prose or customs of Larra, Ruano or threshold. In that sense gonzo journalism axis is associated with significant literary and a history in points yet explore. Implicative journalism, research and commitment were not newly minted. However, gonzo journalism not have a large corpus as it exists in other journalistic and literary genres. Also, journalism is also gonzo journalism copyright and therefore according to the journalist and the purpose for using the narrator's point of view are different shades star gonzo . HST is not the same Günter Wallraff, are not identical goals they want to achieve their vision nor journalism. Thematically gonzo journalism is characterized by his immersion in situations involving with sex, violence, drugs, sports and politics. In short, America's obsessions and most cultures. gonzo journalist goes into extreme situations in order to carry out a scrutiny of them, living in social groups or political artists on tour. The claim may or may not be common, although since the tradition muckracker gonzo journalism not boast of a strong current in this regard, preferring a style that favors a reflection of reality with humor and sarcasm, ie attacking the other side politically incorrect.

Returning to the literature, probably the closest genre gonzo journalism gender is autobiographical, and in itself quite spacious, although in this case is evoked, rather it is narrated. And this would be a direct consequence of the involvement of the journalist, not a few caveats ignoring construction of reality and truth agreed. Along with fiction, autobiography presents a statement of reality where I can be the result of the invention, sleep or lie. The autobiographical self also seeks the transformation of the self, sometimes lyrical and epic, something evident in the dedication of the construction of the characters and the media treatment of gonzo journalists.

gonzo journalism does not resemble the classic autobiography year Cumulative reports involving the ulation depth (or not) of events experienced, but that would mix their work - the pretext-with its I, in real time. Perhaps most interesting is this: immediacy. Autobiographical experience and run parallel and in unison. There is a calm autobiographical writing in retirement, but sequential as journalist prepares various reports and perfectly compatible with a more conventional kind of autobiography. A journalist writes flashes his diary, not to mention additional journalistic work, not to mention the stories and characters that hatched his ego.

Moreover, contemporary autobiographies and pleasure not exhaustive, but rewarding subjective reports. The autobiography is a genre that delves into the domain of the self: gender is a mystifying, as gonzo reports, sometimes heroic and egotistical. Often the person becomes a character in weaving a tailored suit. "When a person decides to tell his life to another? When he thinks the author is interested concoct a story of his life.

brazenly flies the autobiographical genre almost all the literature, directly or indirectly. All the contemporary novel is part autobiographical current in the same way that every work of an author is part of an autobiography. Every novel is literature of the self, almost. However, in this case is not the inclusion of aspects in the novel that the critic tries to verify, but the journalist steps to force the stage proclaiming his role as director and actor in unison. Nor is there an overview born of reflection. gonzo journalism is more of a self-portrait.
