Redes y retos

Autor: Oscar Días Fouces , Pilar García Soidán

Número de Páginas: 148

Las nuevas tecnologías han transformado radicalmente nuestra forma de comunicarnos y de relacionarnos con el mundo. Las disciplinas académicas que se ocupan de estudiar la comunicación han debido adaptarse a esas nuevas realidades. En Redes y retos, un grupo de investigadores aborda un abanico de fenómenos relacionados con las dinámicas que las acompañan: desde la comunicación del cambio climático en Twitter hasta los episodios de cyberbulling, pasando por la literatura colaborativa en un entorno digital o el papel de Internet en la práctica profesional de los traductores. Este volumen podrá resultar estimulante para investigadores de diversas áreas de las Humanidades y las Ciencias Sociales, pero también será una lectura provechosa para cualquier persona interesada en los asuntos relacionados con la comunicación. Redes y retos se ha diseñado desde la perspectiva multidisciplinar del Programa de Doctorado en Comunicación de la Universidade de Vigo, promotor de esta publicación. Después de Comunicar(se) en el siglo XXI (Granada: Comares, 2014), este es el segundo volumen que edita, dedicado particularmente al marco de la comunicación digital, a la que su título...

Wu Ming's Transmedia Activism

Autor: Paolo Saporito

Número de Páginas: 227

This book explores the activism of the Italian collective Wu Ming. Engaging in a dynamic conversation with critical theory, post-workerist philosophy and eco-criticism, Saporito illuminates how Wu Ming’s forms of protest radically challenge neoliberal models of subjectivity through a revived commitment to an ​eco-centric ethics. The book charts how Wu Ming’s interventions, combining embodied, literary and online activism, aim to performatively create life-rhythms, practices and ultimately a political subjectivity alternative to fast-paced anthropocentric models imposed by neoliberal apparatuses. In-depth analyses of Wu Ming’s participation in the 27th Genoa G8 Summit, literary texts and online presence define the trajectory of their interventions, which moved from a traumatic repudiation of neoliberal apparatuses in Genoa to a thorough exploration of how these apparatuses produce and control subjectivity. Wu Ming’s literary texts invite the reader to grasp the complexity of the human-non-human relations these apparatuses exploit, while affirmatively exploring eco-centric ethical relations to the non-human other. Wu Ming open their bodies to these relations via hikes,...

En busca del tiempo y del espacio

Autor: Alberto Jesús Quiroga Puertas , Ángeles Jiménez-higueras

Número de Páginas: 212

Esta propuesta aborda cómo las categorías “tiempo” y “espacio”, entendidas en su dimensión física, han sido manipuladas para crear otras realidades, otros mundos en los que distintos autores y artistas han proyectado sus ideologías, miedos y esperanzas desde el mundo antiguo hasta nuestros días. Al amparo de la cada vez más recurrente pregunta “qué hubiera pasado si…”, este proyecto persigue sondear los mecanismos literarios y los mundos paralelos creados cuando nos imaginamos otros mundos así como unos futuros y unos pasados alternativos.

New Thing

Autor: Wu Ming 1

Número de Páginas: 229

Primavera del 67. América está en llamas, sacudida por disturbios raciales y por la protesta contra la guerra de Vietnam. En Nueva York, varios músicos relacionados con la "new thing", el jazz libre de Albert Ayler, Archie Shepp o Bill Dixon, aparecen muertos en extrañas y violentas circunstancias. En los guetos del Black Power se habla de un asesino llamado El Hijo de Whiteman. ¿Existe realmente? Y, si es así, ¿actúa por su cuenta o es mero instrumento de un establishment asustado? Mientras, John Coltrane, guerrero y guardián de los espíritus en esa libérrima avanzadilla de la cultura negra, pasa revista a su vida en un duro y poético soliloquio. Una bobina se desliza en el magnetófono Butoba MT5 de Sonia Langmut, joven cronista de la "cosa nueva". Y se desata una nube de recuerdos, personajes y humo en el fantasmagórico solo de un saxo. Investigación polifónica, trama detectivesca, jam session política... New Thing es la primera novela solista de Wu Ming 1.

La réécriture de l’Histoire dans les romans de la postmodernité

Autor: Collectif

Número de Páginas: 420

Ce volume explore la relation que la littérature a créée avec l’Histoire dans les romans hispanique, italien et portugais de la postmodernité. Le thème abordé par l’étude conjointe des notions de littérature, d’Histoire et de Postmodernité a permis de faire discuter les chercheurs sur des points importants liés à la critique littéraire. Les contributions de ce livre décèlent une nouvelle tendance forte de la littérature contemporaine des pays de langue romane qui consiste à utiliser des documents d’archives dans le but de faire de la mémoire la matière première de l’inspiration. Elles permettent également de constater que la notion de postmodernisme est appliquée de façon différente selon les aires géographiques, avec des acceptions normatives plus restreintes dans l’aire italophone et plus ouvertes dans l’aire lusophone. Malgré ces différences, on constate que les mêmes tendances littéraires se sont manifestées partout avec une extraordinaire coïncidence chronologique, depuis le milieu des années 1970 à nos jours.

Proletkult

Autor: Wu Ming

Número de Páginas: 227

Revolución, ciencia ficción, alienígenas, experimentos científicos y arte proletario: los Wu Ming se adentran en el universo soviético. En 1907, en Tiflis, Georgia, un revolucionario bolchevique llamado Leonid Voloch asalta un carruaje postal protegido por cosacos y huye en un tren con la ayuda de un camarada georgiano. Saltan del tren en marcha y el georgiano lo conduce a través de un bosque hasta una extraña esfera transparente, de no menos de ocho metros de altura y con varias presencias en su interior, que se abre para recibirlos. En ese momento el georgiano se desabrocha el cuello de la casaca, desliza los dedos de ambas manos y se quita la máscara que hacía la función de cara, incluidos el pelo oscuro y el bigote. Asoma entonces un ser alienígena de facciones vagamente humanas... Muchos años después, la supuesta hija de Leonid, que es además una supuesta alienígena, busca a su padre para llevarlo de regreso al planeta Nacun. Para ello visita en el Moscú ya revolucionario a Alexandr Bodgánov, un personaje real que parece salido de una novela: médico, economista, filósofo, fundador e ideólogo del movimiento artístico proletario llamado Proletkult, escritor ...

Anti-Book

Autor: Nicholas Thoburn

Número de Páginas: 383

No, Anti-Book is not a book about books. Not exactly. And yet it is a must for anyone interested in the future of the book. Presenting what he terms “a communism of textual matter,” Nicholas Thoburn explores the encounter between political thought and experimental writing and publishing, shifting the politics of text from an exclusive concern with content and meaning to the media forms and social relations by which text is produced and consumed. Taking a “post-digital” approach in considering a wide array of textual media forms, Thoburn invites us to challenge the commodity form of books—to stop imagining books as transcendent intellectual, moral, and aesthetic goods unsullied by commerce. His critique is, instead, one immersed in the many materialities of text. Anti-Book engages with an array of writing and publishing projects, including Antonin Artaud’s paper gris-gris, Valerie Solanas’s SCUM Manifesto, Guy Debord’s sandpaper-bound Mémoires, the collective novelist Wu Ming, and the digital/print hybrid of Mute magazine. Empirically grounded, it is also a major achievement in expressing a political philosophy of writing and publishing, where the materiality of...

Spectralités dans le roman contemporain

Autor: Collectif

Número de Páginas: 176

L’ambition de ce volume, qui rassemble des études sur des écrivains de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle (Italo Calvino, Antonio Tabucchi) et du début du XXIe siècle (Bruno Arpaia, Rafael Chirbes, Julio Llamazares, Walter Siti, Gonçalo M. Tavares, Giorgio Vasta), est d’interroger le retour du refoulé historique dans la littérature contemporaine de l’Italie, de l’Espagne et du Portugal à partir du concept de spectralité forgé par Jacques Derrida. De nombreuses œuvres littéraires semblent recourir au spectre pour figurer un nouveau régime d’historicité mais aussi un temps présent désarticulé et hétérogène et perçu comme de plus en plus en manque de réel. En effet, « revenant » du passé ou projection paradoxale du présent, le spectre marque un point irrésolu de l’histoire tout en révélant les enjeux fondamentaux de notre temps.

Contemporary Italian Narrative and 1970s Terrorism

Autor: David Ward

Número de Páginas: 246

This book is about literary representations of the both left- and right-wing Italian terrorism of the 1970s by contemporary Italian authors. In offering detailed analyses of the many contemporary novels that have terrorism in either their foreground or background, it offers a “take” on postmodern narrative practices that is alternative to and more positive than the highly critical assessment of Italian postmodernism that has characterized some sectors of current Italian literary criticism. It explores how contemporary Italian writers have developed narrative strategies that enable them to represent the fraught experience of Italian terrorism in the 1970s. In its conclusions, the book suggests that to meet the challenge of representation posed by terrorism fiction rather than fact is the writer’s best friend and most effective tool.

Italian Crime Fiction in the Era of the Anti-Mafia Movement

Autor: William Farina

Número de Páginas: 235

Over the last three decades, Italian crime fiction has demonstrated a trend toward a much higher level of realism and complexity. The origins of the New Italian Epic, as it has been coined by some of its proponents, can be found in the widespread backlash against the Mafia-sponsored murders of Sicilian magistrates which culminated with the assassinations of Judges Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino in 1992. Though beginning in the Italian language, this prolific, popular movement has more recently found its way into the English language and hence it has found a much wider international audience. Following a brief, yet detailed, history of the cultural and economic development of Sicily, this book provides a multilayered look into the evolution of the New Italian Epic genre. The works of ten prominent contemporary writers, including Andrea Camilleri, Michael Dibdin, Elena Ferrante, and Massimo Carlotto, are examined against the backdrop of various historical periods. This "past is prologue" approach to contemporary crime fiction provides context for the creation of these recent novels and enhances understanding of the complex moral ambiguity that is characteristic of anti-mafia...

Digital Media as Ambient Therapy

Autor: Francis Russell

Número de Páginas: 148

Digital Media as Ambient Therapy explores the ways “mental illness” can emerge from our relationships (with ourselves, others, and the world), to address the concern around what kind of relationality is conducive for “mental health” and what role digital technologies can play in fostering such relationality. Exploring the rise of ambient—that is to say, ubiquitous, surrounding, and environmental—technologies and their impact on our understanding of “mental health,” sanity, and therapy, this book critically examines the work of influential contemporary social theorists such as Hartmut Rosa and investigates case studies that reveal new modes of digitally mediated intimacy and attention, such as ASMR and QAnon. It also poses the question of what “mental health” and “mental illness” mean for subjects increasingly faced with a maddening sense of interconnectedness. This book offers new perspectives for academics and postgraduates interested in critical discussions of alienation, digital technology, and contemporary social theory.

Mythocracy

Autor: Yves Citton

Número de Páginas: 241

Harnessing the power of storytelling for political progress Mythocracy examines the narrative mechanisms that script our lives through the stories we tell one another. Digging beneath common anxieties about fake news, Yves Citton looks at the attention economy, which organises our political perceptions around affective attractors. These are much more powerful than the truth value of any given narrative. The time has come for the left to reclaim the power of myth from reactionary populism.

Encounters with the Real in Contemporary Italian Literature and Cinema

Autor: Loredana Di Martino , Pasquale Verdicchio

Número de Páginas: 298

This volume explores the Italian contribution to the current global phenomenon of a “return to reality” by examining the country’s rich cultural production in literature and cinema. The focus is particularly on works from the period spanning the Nineties to the present day which offer alternatives to notions of reality as manufactured by the collusion between the neo-liberal state and the media. The book also discusses Italy’s relationship with its own cultural past by investigating how Italian authors deal with the return of the specter of Neorealism as it haunts the modern artistic imagination in this new epoch of crisis. Furthermore, the volume engages in dialogue with previous works of criticism on contemporary Italian realism, while going beyond them in devoting equal attention to cinema and literature. The resulting interactions will aid the reader in understanding how the critical arts respond to the triumph of hyperrealism in the current era of the virtual spectacle as they seek new ways to promote cognitive transformations and foster ethical interventions.

Número de Páginas: 500

Who are “intellectuals”? What do they think their role and function in contemporary society is? Are they on the endangered-species list? Is equating conservatism with conservation becoming their dominant survival strategy? This book is a collection of essays that examines some of the changes in the activities, role, function and self-perception of Italian intellectuals since World War II (two major divides are considered to be the crisis of 1956–7 and the fall of the Berlin Wall). The first section examines some of the most influential figures in the early decades, the second the activities of contemporary intellectuals, a third gives voice to some contemporary writers, a fourth contains some comparative essays about the role of intellectuals in influential contemporary Western cultures and a final section is devoted to some cross-disciplinary forays and reflections on the relevance and possible future directions of these inquiries.
