From April, the "empty editorially" Jump magazine have a new self-management in service: 5 Senses NOA will be proposed to show "various traditions of NOA and the current tensions of globalization" to "provide the insight and critical eye," says Idangel Betancourt, one of its creators.

Buenos Aires, January 1918 (NAN Agency, 2010) .- From Cuba, arrived in Salta by chance five years ago in search of a university in Argentina, and while first probed the supply of Buenos Aires, the Universidad Nacional Salta was the best answer to their expectations. In 2006, "It was like a newborn trying to understand the codes of Capitalism" sums Idangel Betancourt, a journalist and playwright, his arrival in Argentina. Soon ceased to study at this university, but to pass through its classrooms given the opportunity to meet teachers and writers, in part helped him to write a great story. In fact, it is difficult to consider that perhaps in these meetings have germinated the seed that is now 5 Senses NOA, art and culture magazine that won one of ten awards from the contest Abelardo Castillo vernacular cultural publications of the Secretariat National Culture, and leave the ring in April. "We are at a stage of precision administrative and commercial, since the intention is that it can hold more than four numbers that allows the award, "says the Cuban Agency dialog with NAN.
Through 32 pages, the brand new publication will attempt to "link the region of northwestern Argentina since its cultural diversity, understanding it as a vehicle for development", he explains, and in that sense adds that one of the aims of the journal consolidate a space for reflection on the "different traditions of NOA and the current tensions of globalization", jerks who become very evident in a vast cultural region. From there, the name of the magazine: "The five senses represent the five provinces that make up the current NOA, and appeal to the word senses not only the sensory but also construction of identity," Betancourt ditch.
Created by Cuban-editor with Virginia Piera, 5 Senses NOA is the final show of a "confluence of personal projects." "It was viable because both Virginia and I and the authorities of Cosmo Foundation (founded in 2007 to promote the culture of Salta), we endorse. We had more or less competing ideas about the need for a cultural magazine that covered the region and is based on the plurality and diversity of voices and cultures, "he says.
A curiosity is that in most magazines self-management: what will not in the newspaper business called "editorial board", a "risk" for compensation "guarantees a certain extent." "We chose to work openly, so they always appear different firms, according to the theme of each issue", extends Betancourt. It will also be broad arch journalistic and artistic forms that contain the magazine will be chronic, essays, interviews, in short, "everything is functional format to communicate. "
But where does this need? Betancourt speaks of an "empty publisher in Salta. "No global context today is easy for a cultural magazine. However, in Salta what appears to be a vacuum on these magazines can be an opportunity to arrive with a product that will explore the senses of an entire region. "In that sense, 5 Senses NOA is placed as a function contribute to discrimination. " Is that in his view, "reading is always a conscious choice, the magazine reader ignores the light and excessive periodic data and leads the slow structural of the academy. " So if I were to sell the magazine together would grow by offering "a critical look at the best of meanings."
