Años de luz
What do JosĂ© Antonio Labordeta and Federico JimĂ©nez Losantos have in common? Singer-songwriter JoaquĂn Carbonell and economist Manuel Pizarro? Playwright JosĂ© Sanchis Sinisterra and Carmen MagallĂłn, president of the International League of Women for Peace? They all shared, by chance, a place: the San Pablo Junior College in Teruel, and a time: the late 1960s. This period had a pivotal impact on the development of Aragonese nationalism in the following decades. A group of recently graduated young teachers (Labordeta, Eloy Fernández Clemente, Sanchis Sinisterra, among others) arrived by pure chance at the Ibáñez MartĂn High School and later at the San Pablo Junior College. They were eager to teach and naturally propose a different kind of relationship with their students. Little by little, without a pre-established plan, a group of students and teachers formed around the activities that took place every afternoon at the San Pablo Junior College. Exhibitions, lectures, discussions, music, theater, spoken word magazines, newspapers... these were the daily routines of people who lived together in intellectual harmony, outside of, and in many cases despite, so-called official culture. This group of young people revolutionized Teruel society. This educational and cultural experience was unprecedented in 1960s Spanish society; it could be compared to the experiences of the InstituciĂłn Libre de Enseñanza (Free Institution of Teaching). Some say you're from where you completed your secondary education, and this is certainly true. That explosion of light, art, and ideas has left its mark on all these people who shared a wonderful time and place.
