Online Discussion on " Mario Vargas Llosa's

I like this two - three things or ideas

1)   Alberto Fujimori’s election in Peru in             1990. In your tale, sex dominates as an           act of survival and as a reaction to                 oppression.


2)   yellow journalism


3)   Swedish Academy " scandal " 




4)  #MeToo movement.



-------1) Albert fujimoris electron in paru in                 1990

-------->     General elections were held in Peru on 8 April 1990, with a second round of the presidential elections on 10 June.The run-off was between favorite, novelist Mario Vargas Llosaleading a coalition of economically liberal parties collectively known as the Democratic Front and political underdog Alberto Fujimoriof the populist and more moderate Cambio 90. Vargas Llosa won the first round with a small plurality, but alienated much of the electorate with a comprehensive privatisationagenda, bolstering the allegedly unelectable Fujimori. Fujimori eventually won a landslide victory and would remain president for ten years until he was ousted in 2000.



---------> 2) Yellow journalism 

---------->     Yellow journalism and the yellow press are American terms for journalism and associated newspapers that present little or no legitimate well-researched news while instead using eye-catching headlines for increased sales. Techniques may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, or sensationalism. By extension, the term yellow journalism is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion.


--------> 3) Swedish Academy " scandal "

--------> The man at the centre of sexual assault allegations that prompted the Swedish Academy to postpone this year's Nobel Literature Prize, will go on trial on rape charges.
French cultural figure Jean-Claude Arnault, who is married to a former member of the Swedish Academy which selects Nobel literature laureates, has been charged with raping a woman in Stockholm on two occasions in 2011.
The Stockholm district court told AFP his hearings will take place on September 19th, 20th and 24th.
According to the charge sheet, seen by AFP, the 71-year-old allegedly forced the victim – who was in a state of "intense fear" – to have oral sex and intercourse in a Stockholm apartment on October 5th, 2011.


--------> 4) # Me too movement .

-------->   The Me Too Movement (or #MeToo Movement) with many local/international alternatives is a movement against sexual harassment and assault. #MeToo spread virally in October 2017 as a hashtag used on social media in an attempt to demonstrate the widespread prevalence of sexual assault and harassment, especially in the workplace. It followed soon after the sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein.Tarana Burke, an American social activist and community organizer, began using the phrase "Me Too" as early as 2006, and the phrase was later popularized by American actress, Alyssa Milano, on Twitter in 2017. Milano encouraged victims of sexual harassment to tweet about it and "give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem". As a result, this was met with success that included but not limited to high-profile posts from several American celebrities including Gwyneth Paltrow,Ashley Judd, Jennifer Lawrence, and Uma Thurman.
