The Sense Of A Clever Body. An Interview With Paola Bianchi

Massimo Schiavoni
Paola Bianchi's dancing body is everything, sometimes nothing, sometimes everything to discover, expect and fully understand. The human figure and anatomy, it's mind and introspection that implode strength and elegance, dynamism in the emotion she puts on stage since the early eighties. She has traveled, fought and stopped, she knew without looking back and she continued.... READ MORE...

Biennale Performa 09: Alle Radici Del Video E Del Noise

Silvia Bertolotti
Autunno a New York. Non  l'incipit per un racconto fatto di situazioni romantiche impresse su celluloide o per r'veries vintage. Magari  anche questo, New York  sempre tutto e il suo contrario.

The Future Of Journalism: Comparing Models

Simona Fiore
Are journalism and publishers dying? Are we watching their decline? Even if these assessments seem true today, they are so only in part. Journalism and publishers are facing a serious period of crisis. The responsibility for this condition is probably to be attributed to an inadequate business model which paid little attention to the changes which have affected society and consumers in recent years. The Internet has surely played a significant role in this situation, having proposed a 'long tail' offer able to satisfy more sectorial and niche demands.... READ MORE...

Fluctuating Intelligences

Carla Langella
In the 'liquid society', as Zygmunt Bauman defines it in: 'Modus Vivendi. Hell and Utopia of the Liquid World', the structures that create the boundaries of space of behaviour, habits and social and individual forms, are dissolved, creating a chaotic and dynamic context in continuous transformation where contemporary men and women find themselves having to continuously and frenetically pass from social one role to another. Family, work, social life, are alternated until they overlap, despite having different needs and necessities that are often distant from each other.... READ MORE...

Monsieur Morin: For A Complex Thought Ethic

Teresa De Feo
To meet Monsieur Morin is not something to be taken lightly. Even those who do not know him could not but be fascinated by his old Frenchman-like elegant ways and his ringed fingers. And I believe in his success. The husky voice with which the Monsieur expresses himself, never as an intellectual but more like the chief of a tribe who tells myths and stories, immediately creates empathy and takes you into an intellectual dimension with layered dimensions: that of complex thought. And it is immediately clear that complex thought, in the presence of the old philosopher, is not just a mix of methods, an intellectual practice, but the exercising of an existential operation, a human opening that has this objective: to give itself a new founding ethic, the ethic that a planetary consciousness needs....
