A finales del mes de marzo se celebr\u00f3 el IV Congreso Internacional de la Lengua Espa\u00f1ola en Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, y coincidiendo con su apertura se inaugur\u00f3 la exposici\u00f3n Cart[ajena] <\/em>, una muestra que ha congregado a varios artistas de Espa\u00f1a y Latinoam\u00e9rica con trabajos relacionados con el lenguaje y la palabra (ver p\u00e1ginas 76-79). No es la primera vez que el arte acompa\u00f1a un evento relacionado con el idioma espa\u00f1ol, o que se une a la visibilidad que adquiere la ciudad anfitriona (ya ocurri\u00f3 en la tercera edici\u00f3n del Congreso, celebrada en la ciudad argentina de Rosario en 2004). Sin embargo, s\u00ed es la primera vez que el arte como lenguaje, como proceso de comunicaci\u00f3n, se suma a un evento en el que la lengua se manifiesta como expresi\u00f3n de una cultura. <\/p>\n

Es obvio que una mayor difusi\u00f3n del idioma espa\u00f1ol \u2013objetivo fundamental del Congreso de la Lengua\u2013 conlleva una considerable proyecci\u00f3n de la cultura espa\u00f1ola y, en consecuencia, de su arte. Que \u00e9ste sea producido por castellanos, vascos, catalanes, andaluces o gallegos poco habr\u00e1 de importar cuando el espa\u00f1ol se afiance, a medida que avance este siglo xxi , como una de las lenguas m\u00e1s extendidas del mundo. Pero este camino de difusi\u00f3n del espa\u00f1ol que estrat\u00e9gicamente abandera Espa\u00f1a es compartido por otros muchos pa\u00edses de Am\u00e9rica, en donde reside la mayor potencialidad del espa\u00f1ol. As\u00ed, el mecanismo para el desarrollo de la cultura y de las industrias culturales en espa\u00f1ol no habr\u00e1 de ser distinto del aplicado por el mundo angloparlante, cuya industria cultural y cient\u00edfica ha llegado a convertir el ingl\u00e9s en una verdadera lingua franca <\/em>. <\/p>\n

Queda sin duda mucho por hacer en lo que respecta a la utilizaci\u00f3n del espa\u00f1ol en el campo cient\u00edfico, en el del comercio y, sobre todo, en Internet, pero resulta esperanzador que \u2013adem\u00e1s de los quinientos millones de personas que utilizan actualmente el castellano como lengua habitual\u2013 el n\u00famero de estudiantes de espa\u00f1ol como lengua extranjera se aproxime a los catorce millones en todo el mundo, lo que convierte este idioma en la segunda lengua m\u00e1s estudiada del mundo, por detr\u00e1s del ingl\u00e9s. Es preocupante, sin embargo, el cuarto lugar que el espa\u00f1ol ocupa en el ciberespacio y la distancia que lo separa del ingl\u00e9s como idioma principal en el \u00e1mbito de las tecnolog\u00edas de la comunicaci\u00f3n e informaci\u00f3n . La preeminencia del espa\u00f1ol como segunda lengua en el plano internacional pasa por la mejora del acceso a las redes de informaci\u00f3n . De igual forma, conviene tener presente que el entorno digital es, adem\u00e1s de un medio de transmisi\u00f3n de la palabra, un medio de transmisi\u00f3n y creaci\u00f3n art\u00edstica. <\/p>\n

Por todo ello, y porque la palabra y el arte son parte esencial del proceso de la comunicaci\u00f3n humana, ser\u00eda conveniente articular adecuadamente la promoci\u00f3n del espa\u00f1ol y la pol\u00edtica cultural exterior de Espa\u00f1a. La exposici\u00f3n en Cartagena de Indias es un buen ejemplo a seguir. <\/p>\n

Art and words <\/strong><\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Alberto L\u00f3pez <\/strong><\/p>\n

In late March, the iv International Conference on the Spanish Language was staged in Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, and the exhibition Cart[ajena] <\/em> was inaugurated to coincide with the opening of the convention. The show has gathered several artists from Spain and Latin America who have created works based on the topic of language and words (see pages 76-79). This is not the first time that art accompanies an event related to the Spanish language, or is a value added to the visibility acquired by the host city (as occurred in the third edition of the Conference, staged in the Argentinean city of Rosario in 2004). However, this is the first time that art as language, as a process for communication, contributes to an event in which language appears as an expression of culture. <\/p>\n

Obviously, Spanish culture and, consequently, Spanish art must be given a t reme ndous boost in order to achieve a greater dissemination of the Spanish language \u2013the essential goal of the Conference on Language. The fact that this art is produced by creators from Castile, the Basque Country, Catalonia, Andalusia or Galicia should be of little importance when Spanish is consolidated, as this 21 st century moves on, as one of the most widely-spread languages in the world. Yet, although Spain is strategically championing the dissemination of Spanish, said goal is a common objective shared by many other countries in America, where the greatest potentiality of Spanish resides. Thus, the mechanism for the development of culture and of the cultural industries in Spanish should be no different from the method implemented by the English speaking world, whose cultural and scientific industry has managed to turn English into a genuine lingua franca <\/em>. <\/p>\n

There is unquestionably still a long way to go until Spanish can be used generally in the field of science, trade and, especially, the Internet, but it is encouraging to see that \u2013as well as the five hundred million people who currently use Spanish as their regular language\u2013 there are almost fourteen million students studying Spanish as a foreign language all over the world, thus making this language the second most studied language in the world, after English. However, it is worrying to see Spanish take the fourth place in cyberspace, as is the distance that separates it from English as the main language in the field of information and communication technologies. The pre-eminence of Spanish as the second language on the international plane must involve an improvement of the access to information networks. Likewise, it is important to bear in mind the fact that the digital environment is not just a medium for the transmission of words, but also a medium for artistic transmission and creation. <\/p>\n

Consequently, and because words and art are an essential part of the process of human communication, it would be convenient to suitably articulate the promotion of Spanish and Spain’s cultural foreign policy. The exhibition in Cartagena de Indias is a good example to follow. <\/p>\n
