The educator and writer Rogelio Blanco analyzes the figure of María Zambrano in a conference at the Central Library of Marbella.

The Central Library Fernando Alcalá Marín in Marbella will host a conference titled 'María ... Zambrano (her story)' this Friday, November 14, at 6:00 PM. The event will be led by educator and writer Rogelio Blanco Martínez, who is currently completing a study on biblioclasm and another on the history of utopia in Spain. Additionally, he has given lectures at numerous universities and conferences, has received many awards, and holds degrees in Anthropology and Human Sciences as well as in Philosophy and Letters, with a diploma in Political Sociology.

Since 1978, he has been teaching in secondary and higher education, either full-time or part-time, and in 1984 he took charge of the Center for Library and Documentary Studies, a body dependent on the Ministry of Culture, where he has held various responsibilities at different times. He was a technical advisor at CIDE and INCE, agencies of the Ministry of Education, and was the chief editor at the Education Magazine, belonging to the same ministry. Finally, from 2004-2012 he served as the director general of Books, Archives, and Libraries. During these years, he directed or coordinated various publishing collections, especially those dedicated to poetry, essays, or didactics.

These responsibilities did not prevent him from collaborating in the promotion of other publishing projects, as well as participating as a member of the boards of various cultural magazines or trustee in several foundations: María Zambrano, Dinastía Vivanco, Antonio Machado, José Martí Scientific-Cultural, Torre-Pujales, Medina Sidonia, Rafael Escuredo Chair, and Alfonso Perales, among other tasks. The event next Friday will be introduced by writer Luis Bertelli.
