The Italian intellectual Franco 'Bifo' Berardi, one of the key philosophers of contemporary thought, invited by the Cartagena Piensa program of the Department of Culture of the City of Cartagena, will be this Thursday, February 13 at 8:00 p.m. in the library from the Ramón Alonso Luzzy cultural center.
The act will be presented by Antonio Campillo, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Murcia.
'Bifo' Berardi combines teaching as a professor of social history of the media at the Academy of Fine Arts in Brera (Milan) with cultural turmoil.
In his books he investigates how digital technologies are generating a mutation of the human being and accelerate so vertiginously the time that leaves no space for pause, listening or critical weighted ability.
From the ideas developed in his book Breathing: Chaos & Poetry (Breathing: Chaos and Poetry), which will appear in Spanish, Berardi will talk about the changes of recent years in the breathing of the world, with a new cycle of spasms, despair and chaos, and a feeling of suffocation that grows everywhere.
Try to visualize poetry as the premonition of a possible harmony inscribed in the current chaos.
How to deal with chaos, since we know that those who fight against chaos will be defeated, because chaos feeds on war?
How do we treat asphyxiation?
Is there a way out of the corpse of financial capitalism?
He is a writer, philosopher and activist born in Bologna in 1949. He is an important figure of the Italian autonomist movement.
Graduated in Aesthetics from the University of Bologna, participated in the events of May 68 from that city.
He was the founder of the historic magazine A / traverso and promoter of the legendary Radio Alice, the first Italian pirate radio.
He lived in Paris, where he met Felix Guattari, and in New York.
In 2002 he founded TV Orfeo, the first Italian community television.
He is currently a professor of Social Media History at the Brera Academy in Milan.
As author, he wrote numerous essays and papers on the transformations of work and communication processes in post-industial capitalism.
His texts were published in different languages.
He has published fifty titles, some of them translated into Spanish, such as The Factory of Unhappiness (Dream Traffickers, 2003), The Uprising (Artefakte, 2013), Phenomenology of the End (Caja Negra Editora, 2017) or, recently, Futurability (Caja Negra Editora, 2019).
