The A to Z of Animation and Cartoons
Animation was once a relatively simple matter, using fairly primitive means to produce rather short films of subjects that were generally comedic and often quite childish. However, things have changed, and they continue changing at a maddening pace.

Sorta di Zibaldone centro-asiatico, il Baburnama è un documento di valore inestimabile, degno di stare alla pari con Le Confessioni di Sant'Agostino, con Rousseau, Newton, Beveridge o Leopardi. Discendente di Tamerlano, Babur fu s…

La cuina dels altres catalans
Com a complement del seu llibre «Cuina catalana oblidada del que encara es cou i es menja», Xesco Bueno reivindica ara la cuina que va arribar a Catalunya procedent de diferents onades migratòries des de la resta de la península durant la segona meitat del segle XX, una cuina nòmada i migrant, humil i alhora saborosa, apetitosa i suculenta. Una cuina que reivindica els orígens, la identi…

Only then can it be revealed that what is a part of the speculations of capital is not art itself, but mostly artistic life. Artist at Work examines the recent changes in the labour of an artist and addresses them from the perspective of performance.
