Beyond the dark winter and into the sparkling spring?The fireflies? Speeding up towards new labyrinths?Or myself? Saying goodbye to the one of yesterday…And scared shitless of the one waiting ahead?All these doubts sketched on a Technicolor sci-fi

The March 13th 2004 edition of The Economist had a central article on poverty and inequality. On the cover of the magazine a skinny, naked African boy walks slowly over a brilliant desert, heading towards a first world city downtown (the image also hinted at the waves of immigrants that enter the first world each day in the search of a better life). The article triggered a response from Martin

Sonar 2004Es verano y ya ha amanecido en Londres. La brisa tibia de la ciudad recorre las calles y el sonido del underground raspa el asfalto desde abajo. Los rostros de los hombres están blancos, fantasmales, como una pastilla recién manufacturada. Los oídos todavía escuchan la música en forma de extensa línea roja que parece no desvanecer. La piel de las mujeres es blanca y las negras que

Me encuentro, por lo visto, aquí y ahora. Y entiendo. Entiendo las diferencias y los rostros y los signos. Que están ahí, aunque pretendamos no leerlos.

. 22The days went on. Subtle wake up calls from carpenter birds on a dry tree. Early morning love and sweat. Natural breakfast from the soil. Heat and heat again under the rain. Pendulums of embraced bodies, hammocks, lingering, and juices of new fruits. Long walks penetrating deep into the humid welcoming forest. Traces of animals avoiding humans for a reason.

If we were to describe the values in which the western capitalist world is based, the identification of them developed by D. C. Pirages and P. R. Ehrlich in 1974 would make justice to the social ideology of the neo-liberal present. The Dominant Social Paradigm (DSP) of the North-West is made up of “our belief in abundance and progress, our devotion to growth and prosperity, our faith in

Dam square in Amsterdam looks like a carnival tonight. A mechanical circus of spinning lights, screaming clowns and dizzying-stupid attractions. The blue-red neon billboards road leading to Central Station looks like a golden bricks path for hungry and lascivious backpackers from all over the OECD Country Club. My German bike is on automatic pilot. I’m on my way to a Halloween party. Red lights

Free Will Productions, the independent documentary production house, has developed a very interesting document about the Plan Colombia and the civil war that still goes on in the country. The arguments, interviews and perspectives explored by the producers give insights about the conflict, the interests behind it and the consequences in a way that is never portraied by the reactionary and

The following article is a review of the illusions, realities, and influencial formative programmes, beyond the famous Cannes red carpet. The 2004 Cannes film festival had as much politics as it did when the festival was created in 1939. Film is never what you think, even less when the president of the United States is a character in the charade that will conclude next week. =================

My first real image of Amsterdam, seven months ago, was the west side of the Numarkt (the New Market square) in the center of the city. I had arrived there by metro from central station and feeling the slow rhythm of the subway’s long electric stairs, I emerged into a gothic square painted by snow. That was an exciting January morning. Some months later I was going to meet a friend in that same
