Para una información e Internet libres (Daudén, Campelo, Ritimo)
ByEdward Eggleston 2020-06-19

“Los límites del derecho a la libertad de expresión, tal como decíamos, comienzan a hacerse obvios en el transcurrir de los años 1960 y de los 1970 con la propagación y consolidación de los medios de comunicación de masas (sobre todo la televisión), que revolucionaron las dimensiones del fenómeno comunicacional y evidenciaron su inclinación multidireccional: no se es libre sólo emitiendo información sino también buscando, recibiendo y compartiéndola.” (L. Daudén)

IT capitalism [3]: politics (G. Lins Ribeiro)
ByEdward Eggleston 2020-06-112022-02-07

“A more sophisticated understanding of intellectual cooperation and innovation calls for the understanding of great sociological, economic, political and technological forces surrounding them.

Primitivism and Modern Art. (Cramer and Grant)
ByEdward Eggleston 2020-06-082022-02-24

“Primitivism in art involves the appreciation and imitation of cultural products and practices perceived to be “primitive,” or at an earlier stage of a supposed common scale of human development. This definition contains a basic contradiction: the primitive is admired and even seen as a model, but at the same it is also presumed to be inferior, because it is not fully developed. This paradox makes primitivism a concept that is both intellectually and morally complex.” (Cramer and Grant)
