Jose Luis Blanco Vega (Mieres, 22 July 1928–A Corunna, 25 January 2005) was a Jesuit, professor, writer, poet,[1] and film critic from Asturias, Spain.[2]

Career

He joined the Society of Jesus at the age of 22 and remained a member until his death. He earned a degree in Philosophy from the Comillas Pontifical University[3] and then he studied novitiate in Salamanca. In 1958, he moved to Granada to study theology.[4]

Under the mentorship of biblical scholar Luis Alonso Schökel, he became a professor of literature and cinema,[5] contributing significantly to both fields. He wrote articles and works on the relationship between cinema and education, such as Cinema in the Classroom[6] and Cinema Stories: Learning to See.[7] He was a regular contributor to the magazines Estría,[8] Jesuits,[9] and Review of Literature, Art, and Shows (Review),[10] and was the founder of the educational journal Parents and Teachers[11] and the annual Cinema to Read.[12]

As a translator from Italian, he is known for translating Virgilio Fantuzzi's monograph Pier Paolo Pasolini.[13]

Critic Tomas Yerro[14][15] included Blanco Vega in the literary movement New Mester of Clergy, proposed by Florencio Martínez Ruiz,[16] which grouped poets writing in Spanish from the second half of the 20th century.

His poems remained unpublished until 1997.[17][18] He also wrote liturgical hymns.[19][20]
