Friedrich Kittler is for many the founder of media studies and one of the most influential thinkers in the philosophy of technology and literary criticism. Schools of thought such as Media Archeology and Digital Humanities have expressed a debt to the thought of this author, who has gone unnoticed in Spanish-speaking academic circles. This volume offers what is probably the first translation of Kittler into Spanish, filling a significant gap in our humanities and media sciences. The reader will find in this book a selection of texts that show the intellectual development of a thinker, as well as the diversity of topics and ways of approaching the technological issues of the present in their historical dimension, revealing routes and horizons for research that surprise us by its validity and currency.

In the last four years, the search for peace in Colombia has gradually materialized. After a long war between brothers, a new panorama begins to be seen for Colombian citizens and the eyes of foreigners begin to see this territory and its people as something new and with great potential.

Colombia is a country with a […]

During the 16th International Image Festival - ISEA2017, we were able to speak with a representative of Polar Inertia, a multidisciplinary group from the French underground techno scene. Within the framework of the Colombia-France Year, Polar Inertia opened Nuits Sonores Colombia in Manizales with a concert on Friday, June 16. We asked him about the history of this mysterious group and his experience in Colombia. Good morning Polar Inertia, welcome to the International Image Festival – ISEA2017. Good morning. Tell us how the Polar Inertia project was born. It's a long story. It started when I was in Fine Arts, in 2010. I played music with a friend and we were looking for a musical identity and some concepts. At that time, we were both reading a French author named Paul Virilio, who has written several books, including one called “L'inertie polaire” (Polar Inertia). For us it was a fantastic title, […]
