Repost from @mark.a.dery • "VIRUSES REAL AND IMAGINED ("Virus reales e imaginarios. Pensando con J. G. Ballard"): A TRIALOGUE WITH NAIEF YEHYA, MAURICIO MONTIEL, AND MARK DERY, May 12, 12 CDMX (Mexico City time), 1 PM EST, 10 AM PST. (Part of "El Mundo Hoy: Ciclo des Conversaciones," hosted by Museo del Chopo/UNAM.) Transmission: Museo del Chopo, via Facebook Live and YouTube Live: https://www.facebook.com/MuseodelChopo/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCVhfpajl8dVi1sTVZ9FXSw I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to play brain pong with two of Mexico's most incisive, cutting-edge cultural critics, essayists, and novelists, and hope you'll join me for our wide-ranging, unapologetically digressive conversation about pandemic mythologies and America (and Mexico) on the brink, refracted through the prism of speculative fiction and Applied Ballardianism. Born in Mexico City and now an expat in Brooklyn, Yehya is a film critic and cultural critic whose work focuses on Net culture, SF, and the cultural impact of the digitalization, virtualization, and networking of the world around us. He is the author of three novels and short story collections as well as such works of cybercrit as Pornoculture and, most recently, Drone Wars. Mauricio Montiel Figueiras, who lives in Mexico City, is an essayist, novelist, poet, translator, editor, and, like Yehya, a film critic. His books include Paseos sin rumbo. Diálogos entre cine y literatura (Aimless Roamings: Dialogues Between Film and Literature, essays, 2010), La mujer de M. (The Woman of M., novella, 2012), Ciudad tomada (City Taken Over, short stories, 2013), and Los que hablan. Fotorrelatos (The Ones Who Speak: Photostories, short stories and photographs, 2016). He pioneered the genre of the Twitter novel, The Man in Tweed (El Hombre de Tweed), which he composed entirely in tweets. #unam #mauriciomontiel #naiefyehya #markdery #culturaltheory #culturalcritic #pandemic #jgballard https://www.instagram.com/p/COwljFoj1lF/?igshid=jgrjpg4jaiut

Self Help, Inc.

Why doesn't self-help help? Cultural critic Micki McGee puts forward this paradoxical question as she looks at a world where the market for self-improvement products--books, audiotapes, and extreme makeovers--is exploding, and there seems to be no end in sight.

🎂👑👏🏿✊🏿❤🗣📚🎙#ArtIsAWeapon #KingJames The fearless and brilliant Black #prophet #culturalcritic #novelist, #playwright, #poet and #essayist #JamesBaldwin was born on this day, (August 2nd) in 1924. His life's work is the embodiment of my mission to create spaces that promote, reveal, empower, inspire, explore the intersection of art and activism via #ArtIsAWeapon. ____________________ "Societies never know it, but the war of an artist with his society is a lover’s war, and he does, at his best, what lovers do, which is to reveal the beloved to himself and, with that revelation, to make freedom real." ____________________ "It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have." ____________________ "Love takes off the masks we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within." ____________________ "The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover.

Perplexed by political rhetoric about making things great again? Curious about cultural adoration of selective vintage? THE MINISTRY OF NOSTALGIA directly challenges the ideology of looking to the past as a model for how to live in the present 📚❤️🗣 #books #read #reading #bookish #booklover #booklife #bibliophile #theministryofnostalgia #owenhatherley #essay #culturalcritic #keepcalmandcarryon #readsomefuckingorwell #bookstagram #booksofinstagram
