Maradona, nos dio otro cuerpo posible, un rostro, sus rulos. El cuerpo y el color de la villa. Nos dio una lengua, incendiaria. Nos dio una pol̕tica, siempre la m̀s irreverente. Nos dio un movimiento, la gracia, la astucia, la insolencia. Nos dio la felicidad, la m̀s plebeya. Nos dio el desborde, nos ensę̤ la lujuria. La quiso para todos, como al oro del vaticano. Fue el suęo, el de los muchos. Cuando estuvo entre los amos, escupi̤ su mano y volvi̤ al barro. Se dio todo, hasta el final. Lo quisieron capitalizar todo, hasta el final. Hasta su cuerpo viejo y roto. Sin resto. El Diego, un mito hecho de vulnerabilidades y excesos, oper̤ como superficie de inscripci̤n, catalizador y soporte para expresar los afectos compartidos de comunidad. No es ̌ste un libro colectivo al uso, sino una hip̤tesis desplegada colectivamente, un intento por pensar lo que de acontecimiento comportaba su ausencia. Maradona gave us another possible body, a face, his curls. The body and color of the villa. He gave us a language, incendiary. He gave us a policy, always the most irreverent. He gave us movement, grace, cunning, insolence. He gave us happiness, the most plebeian. He gave us the overflow, taught us lust. He wanted it for everyone, like gold from the Vatican. It was the dream, the one of many. When he was between the masters, he spat out his hand and went back to the mud. He gave himself everything, until the end. They wanted to capitalize on everything, until the end. Until the body of him old and broken of him. No rest. El Diego, a myth made of vulnerabilities and excesses, operated as an inscription surface, catalyst and support to express the shared affections of the community. This is not a collective book to use, but a hypothesis deployed collectively, an attempt to think about what its absence entailed as an event.
