I know that the phrase "essentially drawn up by philosophers, the otherness of the Other has received some jokes . But there is no philosophical formula that do not deserve someone intends to be funny at their expense. I do not laugh or make jokes about that concept I stated: the otherness of the Other reveals a tragic and intractable condition of the human condition. The otherness of the Other is that which establishes the Other in my antipodes, that privileges as the central object My hatred that can make me many things that would be. Do not be a murderer, for example. When the otherness of the Other comes to an end intolerable to him that it considers its Other, the most common solution is to kill him. The hatred that many talk about it today have established themselves as the Other has to wonder to what end would be able to reach. Another especially since they speak of does not affect them directly. We know that Argentina has slipped from one another to another and another: the federal gauchos, the raid, immigration, black head, guerrilla warfare, picketing, etc.. You always need another. Someone depositing hatred. Today, the Other is the immigrant. Not just here. Anger is widespread. The wall being built by Bush against Mexicans. Sarkozy's Muslims. The "unwanted" by Berlusconi. In the early '90s, and Samuel H. Huntington said that new problems would be Islam and unwanted immigrants.
The argentimedio (the Argentine middle class, but not the whole middle class because it is not a homogeneous bloc, but rarely prevail in securities linked to her lack of solidarity) is someone who is often seen, so says the ham sandwich. Well analyzed, this condition should not be undesirable, because without ham sandwich there, as you eat a sandwich you eat more the ham for bread or both. But the expression indicates a discomfort: being in the middle, squeezed between two things that are in two different ends: one part of the sandwich and the other. One up, one down. The ham in the middle seems to be the victim of its location in the world. It is not in either party and does not know which one belongs or which adhere, but would be up. The argentimedio not want to be where it is. Need something to give importance. To make him something other than what it is. Sale of this situation through another to hate. "We come to steal the country!" says argentimedio of Bolivians, Paraguayans and Peruvians it calls the derogatory names. Balls to the Bolivians, to give an example. "Would you occupied some land?" He asked. "No."
"Then why did you come to steal the country?
- How why? Because we come to get the job.
- What drew you a job?
-No.
- What country would come to steal?
- Like what country? East mine.
- Do you think this country is yours?
"Sure, I'm Argentina.
is far from noticing the bounty which makes the immigrant she hates. Suddenly the argentimedio owns. It has a country. A coveted country. If not, would not come to steal. Suddenly, he is able. Argentina is yours. He, who was a rat as any rat that's out there, who was an employee with a boss who ruined her life with a woman or a husband or a family that just hold on, or walking in a bin from which throws all his hatred on the world in general, listening to the radio right vomiting watching TV now, suddenly, speaking on behalf of something that belongs: the country. Who gave it? The Other. The Bolivian. The Argentina Bolivia gave him that without him, ever have had. Now is powerful. It is a landowner. Or talk like one. He says the words he said Cane in oligarchic circles early last century:
"We come to take what is ours. Want to come into our classrooms. Argentines are increasingly less.
Any argentimedio can say these days:
-Argentines are increasingly less.
What has made huge favor otherness of the Other! Otherness is anything that makes the Other is the Other. The Another is black, ugly, dirty, alien, is an invader. The no. He is Argentine. Random by merely being born here are achieved. No need to do anything else. Is Argentine. And the ball has allowed him to feel that Argentina is yours. Whether you need to, if not there, it would have to invent it. Sartre, in his essay on the Jewish question, said that if the Jew did not exist, the anti-Semite would invent him. Same here: if the ball did not exist, argentimedio the argentimedio (growth), the xenophobic, the racist, the small man who needs to hate to exist, invent it.
