Mateo from the Dominican Republic participated as panelists. <\/EM><\/P> In commemoration of the 130th anniversary of the birth of intellectual Pedro Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a, the Ministry of Culture hosted a symposium about the life and work of the distinguished writer, scholar and educator. Leila Guerreiro, an Argentinian journalist, and Andr\u00e9s L. Mateo, analyzed the depth and scope of Pedro Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a\u2019s literary accomplishments.<\/P> Andr\u00e9s L. Mateo is the winner of the National Prize of Literature, whereas Leila Guerreiro was specially invited to the event and is an editor for the La Naci\u00f3n newspaper.<\/P> Accompanying them at the head table in the A\u00edda Bonnelly de D\u00edaz Hall of the Eduardo Brito National Theatre was Martha Rivera Garrido, a poet, who moderated the symposium.<\/P> Other attendees of the event included: Luis O. Brea Franco, Advisor to the Ministry of Culture; Claudio Coh\u00e9n, Coordinator of the Vice Ministry of Decentralization and Territorial Coordination; Valent\u00edn Amaro, Director General of Books and Reading; Basilio Belliard, Director of Literary Management; and Delegate Minou Tav\u00e1rez Mirabal.<\/P> Andr\u00e9s L. Mateo addressed the theme: \u201cPedro Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a: Foreigner in Mexico\u201d, and in his presentation he explained how Pedro Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a\u2019s critique against positivism in Mexico was the driving force for the revolution of 1910 and also a fundamental factor that influenced the culture. <\/P> Mateo explained that Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a was involved in a newspaper that fought reelection. The newspaper was kept out of print during the year 1909 when its journalists were imprisoned, among other forms of social oppression. This gave birth to the Youth Athenaeum. <\/P> Mateo added that the scholar fought against positivism, despite his family in Santo Domingo being in favor of positivism.<\/P> Regarding Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a\u2019s activities in Mexico, Mateo explained that his reputation as a spiritual guide for the youth spread rapidly, especially because Alfonso Reyes, who was his good friend, used to call him \u201cmaster\u201d and even came to refer to him as Socrates, in recognition of his great knowledge.<\/P> Mateo defined Pedro Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a as a person who was open to knowledge, which was demonstrated by all the books he read and his passion for literature. The academic came to this conclusion after writing a biography of Pedro Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a in 2003, as part of her journalistic work. <\/P> Her other findings revealed that, despite Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a\u2019s death in 1946, he continues to live through his students, as he devoted extra time talking to them during his train rides and at other scheduled opportunities.<\/P> The commemorative events included the laying of a wreath at the National Pantheon, the final resting place of the writer, who died on May 11, 1946, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Minister of Culture, Jos\u00e9 Antonio Rodr\u00edguez, accompanied by the Minister of Defense, Sigfrido Pared P\u00e9rez, led the event.<\/P> In his speech during the laying of the wreath, the Minister of Culture expressed \u201cthat this anniversary, as well as that of the Founding Fathers, must be commemorated throughout the entire country and by all Dominicans as a day of great joy, since on that date commences the mortal journey of the greatest Dominican scholar.\u201d<\/P> Pedro Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a was born on June 29th, 1884, in Santo Domingo, and was the son of Francisco Henr\u00edquez y Carvajal, a distinguished doctor, teacher and President of the Republic in 1916, and Salom\u00e9 Ure\u00f1a, a dedicated teacher, poet, and a pioneer in promoting women\u2019s cultural participation. <\/P> His following titled works are fundamental: \u201cCorrientes literarias en la Am\u00e9rica hispana\u201d, \u201cSeis ensayos en busca de nuestra expresi\u00f3n\u201d, \u201cEnsayos cr\u00edticos\u201d (1905); \u201cHoras de estudio\u201d (1910), \u201cMi Espa\u00f1a\u201d (1912); \u201cLa versificaci\u00f3n irregular en la poes\u00eda castellana\u201d (1920); \u201cLa cultura y las letras coloniales en Santo Domingo\u201d (1936); \u201cEl espa\u00f1ol en Santo Domingo\u201d (1940); \u201cPlenitud de Espa\u00f1a\u201d (1940), and his posthumous work, \u201cHistoria de la cultura en la Am\u00e9rica Hisp\u00e1nica\u201d (1947). <\/P> Pedro Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a characterized as a driving force of the Mexican revolutionSanto Domingo, June 28, 2014 \u201cPedro Henr\u00edquez Ure\u00f1a, foreigner in homelands\u201d, was the theme of the symposium in which scholars Leila Guerreiro from Argentina and Andr\u00e9s L.
