What Happens When Water Heater Bursts

MAKE VIABLE CULTURAL POLICY IN THE REGION LORETO: A VIEW FROM THE UNIVERSITY

New attitudes for new desafíosLos times of rapid change and open economies and cultures to live, do not allow the generation of a thought to be at the same pace. The need for dialogue and cooperation between countries and regions that new times demand, threatens in monologue and the imposition of certain parties, but to place ourselves outside of this dynamic would commit hara-kiri us soon.

Within this maelstrom is imperative to recognize the characteristics of each cultural area, at all levels, from the internal complexity of each region, through the complex diversity of regions the country, to the greater complexity of achieving recognition of Peru in the international arena. The north of this process is the search for a balanced development of all these levels, in the context of consolidating a democratic society characterized by dialogue and cooperation, and where, unlike Western classical model, the distribution of products development has been done with equity and justice.

García Canclini said that new times require new ways of understanding these processes, to assume new attitudes in a new context and challenges facing also new. Static conceptions, ahistorical and essentialist of culture, which promote identity visions closed today are harmful.
The affirmation of the Loreto region can not be done behind closed doors and into the future looking from external development. Should be inserted, but strategically negotiating the preservation of our culture and resources. Evaluate our present and future possibilities of culture in the region, while considering its inequalities, its uneven development, their different visions, Let this project viable.

How do we understand the culture?
"In its broadest sense, culture may now be the set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of society or social group. It includes not only the arts and literature, lifestyles, fundamental rights of human beings, value systems, traditions and beliefs. " A diagnosis for the region should consider these cultural areas without losing sight of the country and plan directed to the development of culture, necessarily different to other regions because it would include its vast biodiversity and ecosystems, which are their main asset.

Products Peru's cultural
The country has an ancient, complex and diverse cultural wealth, including the main archaeological heritage of South America and keeps alive, languages, worldviews and ancestral traditions that sustain the identity of their villages and are an essential part of its diversity. Huántar Chavin, Nazca, Chan Chan, Machu Picchu are World Heritage National Park Abiseo, Huascaran National Park and Manu National Park, the historic centers of Cusco, Lima and Arequipa, Cuzco School painting and demonstrations art, architecture, literature, craft and intellectuals called baroque, neoclassicism and the Enlightenment.
The region has one of the world's greatest biodiversity, radiating lifestyles and much cultural production in the region, living languages, worldview towards nature, traditional knowledge, historically neglected in the fields medicine, forestry and agricultural techniques, the food, clothing, crafts, dance, especially as represented, the arts (film, theater, painting, music, sculpture, printmaking), letters, scientific knowledge in biological sciences, humanities, produced by various centers and institutes de investigación y las universidades, pero necesitamos potenciarlas mas y promoverlas al país y al mundo.
Cabe señalar que esta producción importante de expresiones culturales significativas en los campos de la creación artística y la reflexión intelectual se han hecho y sigue haciéndose a pesar de la indiferencia de los niveles de decisión y la escasez de recursos, lo que no es nuevo, recordemos que el Perú se hizo Estado independiente sin respetar su pluralidad cultural, ni facilitar el ejercicio de la ciudadanía, discriminando amplias capas sociales y exaltando lo occidental. Todo esto no ha permitido niveles satisfactorios de crecimiento económico, equidad, estabilidad institucional ni la expresión cabal de la riqueza de su bagaje cultural. Gran parte de la producción y promoción cultural en las últimas décadas, han sido producto del compromiso de algunas personas y de entidades públicas y privadas entre las cuales se encuentra la universidad.

El rol de la universidad

La universidad tiene tres misiones fundamentales:

1) La de formación profesional.

2) La generación de conocimientos.

3) La de proyección o acción social.

Es necesario insertar en esas tres misiones la apuesta por una política cultural de la región. En vocational training, strengthening the humanistic education in the arts and letters, in all professions as we have been doing, research contributing to the diagnosis and all the ongoing planning process of culture and social action, working priority populations and civil society.
The diagnosis must collect the valuable experiences of institutions and individuals who are working individually but are not articulated a comprehensive proposal for the region. From diagnosis priorities, building a concerted cultural policy model with the presence of civil society and participation active citizenship on them, to consider the areas of culture, education, science and technology with the current needs of growth, democracy and the construction of identities always open looking for a place in the world.
