PREMIO PAIDÓS 2025

La aclamada autora argentina Tamara Tenenbaum nos propone un ensayo brillante que reflexiona sobre otras formas posibles de vivir en el siglo XXI y que declara la importancia de la belleza y el trabajo como productores de igualdad y libertad.

A mediados de 2022, Tamara Tenenbaum recibió el encargo de traducir Un cuarto propio, de Virginia Woolf. Tomando como punto de partida las cuestiones que le suscitó dicho encargo, Tenenbaum nos propone una relectura del libro de Woolf para reflexionar sobre la situación actual de las mujeres (aunque no solo de ellas), abordando los temas que le interesan: la precariedad laboral, el amor desaparecido en la era de Tinder, la comida, el dinero, el resentimiento como respuesta política o la nostalgia y el poder de la tradición.

Con una prosa lúcida y fluida, a lo largo de este texto, rico en referencias literarias y filosóficas, pero también de la cultura pop, Tenenbaum dialoga con el clásico de Virginia Woolf y nos propone un ensayo que busca ir más allá de un manifiesto y que quiere ser una propuesta de contramundo plebeya y feminista basada en la importancia de la belleza y el trabajo como [...] productores de igualdad y libertad .

A Tenenbaum, a quien le interesa escribir sobre su tiempo, Un cuarto propio le funciona como inspiración y oráculo, y le ofrece la oportunidad de pensar en otras formas posibles de vivir en el siglo XXI que se opongan al discurso neoconservador circundante y que sean modernas y posmodernas a la vez, pero, sobre todo, que nos ayuden a transitar la incertidumbre sin caer en un optimismo ingenuo ni en un pesimismo reaccionario.

En palabras de la propia autora: Estoy yendo a Un cuarto propio a hacer lo que Virginia decía que hacemos con los clásicos griegos: a buscar, más que lo que Virginia tenía, lo que a nosotras nos falta .

La fuerza del libro radica en su capacidad para abrir horizontes. No pretende ofrecer respuestas definitivas, sino plantear preguntas relevantes y actuales, lo que la convierte en una obra indispensable para comprender mejor el mundo en que vivimos . -- Gonzalo Celorio, miembro del jurado del Premio Paidós

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

PAIDÓS PRIZE 2025

Acclaimed Argentine author Tamara Tenenbaum presents a brilliant essay that explores new ways of living in the 21st century while emphasizing the importance of beauty and work as forces that foster equality and freedom.

In mid-2022, Tenenbaum was commissioned to translate A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf. Using the questions that arose from that project as a starting point, she offers a reinterpretation of Woolf's book to examine the current situation of women (though not only them), addressing topics that interest her: job insecurity, love fading in the Tinder era, food, money, resentment as a political response, nostalgia, and the power of tradition.

With lucid and fluid prose, this text--rich in literary, philosophical, and pop culture references--engages in a dialogue with Virginia Woolf's classic. Tenenbaum delivers an essay that goes beyond a manifesto, striving to be "a plebeian and feminist counterworld proposal based on the importance of beauty and work as... producers of equality and freedom."

For Tenenbaum, who is keen on writing about her time, A Room of One's Own serves as both inspiration and oracle, giving her the chance to envision alternative ways of living in the 21st century--ones that resist the surrounding neoconservative discourse while being both modern and postmodern. Most importantly, they help navigate uncertainty without falling into naïve optimism or reactionary pessimism.

In her own words: "I am approaching A Room of One's Own to do what Virginia said we do with Greek classics: to seek, rather than what Virginia had, what we are missing."

"The book's strength lies in its ability to open horizons. It does not seek to provide definitive answers but rather to pose relevant and timely questions, making it an essential work for better understanding the world we live in." -- Gonzalo Celorio, member of the Paidós Prize jury
