Incertidumbre documental
No full textRecuerdo muy gráficamente una extraña emisión televisiva de hace unos años. En uno de los primeros días de la invasión estadounidense de Iraq, en 2003, un experimentado corresponsal de la CNN iba subido en un vehículo blindado. Se le veía exultante porque estaba realizando una emisión en directo con la cámara de un teléfono móvil colocado fuera de la ventana. Decía a voz en grito que nunca antes se había visto una emisión de ese tipo. Y realmente era así. Porque era difícil ver algo en aquellas imágenes. Debido a la baja resolución, lo único que se veía eran unas manchas verdes y marrones moviéndose lentamente sobre la pantalla. En realidad, la imagen era como el camuflaje de los uniformes de combate; una versión militar de expresionismo abstracto. ¿Qué nos dice este tipo de documentalismo abstracto sobre el documentalismo como tal? Apunta hacia una característica más profunda de muchas imágenes documentales contemporáneas: cuanto más rápido se transforman, menos hay que ver en ellas. Cuanto más cerca de la realidad estamos, menos inteligible es. Lo llamaremos ’el principio de incertidumbre del documentalismo moderno’

Controlled cities
No full textThis text aims to analyze the relation between the organization and the structuring of city spaces by architecture and urban planning, and the homogenization of bodies and social exclusion existing in cities. A situation that acquires special traits thanks to the spread of a cyber technology that deeply modifies the most common spatio-temporal relations. Against this background, it is highly significant to find the creation of dissident geographies by some artists and architects who propose more plural and ambiguous space

Fictions of the “As Not”: Messianic vocations of the common for a world beyond work and aesthetics
No full textThis text traces the survival of St Paul messianism at various different landmarks in political philosophy, social activism and contemporary art practices. It takes the critical reconsideration of the concept of class as its starting point, showing us how it left behind the egalitarian universalism of the radical and interracial policy of early modernity (the transoceanic proletariat) to become a stable and discriminatory identity (the national working classes) designed to address the conflict between capital and labour. From this perspective, the second part of the article analyses the way in which recent social movements, inspired by the operaista rejection of Fordist work, are trying to go beyond the structural configuration of modern experience in which work and aesthetics have a key function
The algebra of need
No full textThrough stories, writers and two music bands, I have taken that all the characters I’m dealing with have maintained a close relationship that united them all with a smart form of radicalism. At the dawn of an increasingly totalitarian society, it should be reminded that certain uncomfortable and strange events, far from violence, can halt the world or provoke it panic
New Media Egologies
No full textThis article addresses the notion of the web as a mirrored sphere. The debate about the primacy of a psychomorphic vision of reality, associated with the use of the new technologies of connectivity, is here related with the practices of self-representation and hipervisibilisation that are characteristic of the new communicative and social habits that take place in the network-system.
