  Thresholds III – “Avatar”

  Seminar of philosophy of image

  Recent evolutions in the contemporary iconoscape have enabled the production of pictures that elicit in the perceiver a strong feeling of “being there”, namely of being incorporated into new and autonomous environments. Subjects relating to such environments are no longer visual observers in front of images isolated from the real world by a framing device; they are experiencers living in quasi-worlds that offer multisensory stimuli and allow interactive sensorimotor affordances. In relation to such quasi-worlds, a key role is played by the avatar, a digital proxy through which subjects interact with synthetic objects or other avatars. The notion and the uses of the avatar are becoming crucial in a variety of disciplines, ranging from philosophy to visual culture studies, anthropology, sociology, cognitive psychology, and neurosciences. Also, they are raising relevant issues in the fields of ethics and politics.

  Interarts - mimetic hypertextuality between rewritings and allographic continuity

  The last decades have seen an increase in the number of publications concerned with the theme of trans-textuality, meaning the conscious reuse of themes and subjects. A widespread practice during the seventeenth and eighteenth century, trans-textuality was interrupted during the Romantic age only to be relentlessly resumed until  becoming, today, a real trend in literature and other arts, overlapping genres and artistic expressions.

  La radio : mass media démocratique ?

  Importance de la radio dans la société de la communication

  Quelle place conserve la radio au sein des moyens de communication de masse. Face à la concentration, aux oligopoles, la radio, par ses spécificités est-elle un média plus démocratique que les autres et peut-elle encore être à même de porter des projets constructifs autour de la culture et de la démocratie. Comment construire ces projets, les développer en Italie, en Europe et à travers le monde ? Quelles synergies, quelles collaborations sont envisageables pour qu'un autre monde médiatique et que d'autres paysages radiophoniques soient possibles. Tels seront les questions et les axes de ce colloque international organisé par la radio libre historique de Milan : Radio Popolare. Un colloque auquel le réseau IREN s'associe et apporte son soutien.
