Kalashnikovs, nuclear-pop, control de masas y posthumanismo

Enlaces: una burda técnica para mantener el interés de los lectores cuando el autor no tiene a mano nada propio que ofrecer.

The Shock Doctrine, de Alfonso Cuarón para Naomi Klein.
The metaphor of “shock” is important because her thesis stems from a contention that what works on a person also works on a nation. Think 9/11 and fear-induced politics that have eroded some of the fundamentals of what we knew as American democracy.

The Latest Model, de David Firth.
“As soon as you get one, somebody gets a better version, so you’re always behind!”

The Vice Guide to Chernobyl, radiación y Kalashnikovs.
“…then all the wolves and the bears came. And you have like, three-eyed wolves and five-legged bears. So we’re gonna go and we’re gonna hunt them.”

Nuke Pop, cultura atómica .
When the first nuclear bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, popular culture was quick to respond. Atomic war toys and games appeared shortly after World War II, including a board game that let you bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Fascist America in 10 Easy Steps
It is a mistake to think that early in a fascist shift you see the profile of barbed wire against the sky. In the early days, things look normal on the surface; peasants were celebrating harvest festivals in Calabria in 1922; people were shopping and going to the movies in Berlin in 1931.

Atomic Love, bello corto animado.
“This is President Y. I also believe in our friendship and I want to send you a gift, too.”

The World Without Us, la obra post-humana de moda.
Populations of small predators, raccoons, weasels and foxes diminish due to competition from a human legacy - immensely succesful feral housecats.
