1936-09: (Perez Was in Love — Perez Being in Love with Her Niece and with Her Country, Moved by the Memory of Her Experience at the Citadelle and by the Anticipation of Sharing It with the Next Generation, Published on the Opening Pages of the Newspaper Her Letter Accounting for and Sharing Her Deep Care and Belief in the Intergenerational Transfer of Ideas — This Affect Going Beyond a Lien de Sang Bloodline and Instead Held in the Unexpected Feeling of Being Taken Over by an Ancestral Call to Arms): Perez was in love — with her niece and with her country. She was moved by the memory of her experience at the Citadelle and by the anticipation of sharing it with the next generation. Published on the opening pages of the newspaper, her letter accounted for and shared her deep care and belief in the intergenerational transfer of ideas. This affect went beyond a lien de sang (bloodline). Instead, it was held in the unexpected feeling of being taken over by an ancestral call to arms — the letter was not pedagogy but possession, the ancestors reaching through the stone walls of the Citadelle to seize the living and turn them toward the future.
