CASAVARIA LAUNCHES HOT SPRING, A SCIENCE & TECH. BRAINSTORMING SITE

HotSpring.fm is a new debate and discussion forum, aimed at providing users with the flexibility to pool their resources, spout outlandish ideas, and test the ability of readers to suspend their disbelief long enough to contemplate new directions in science, technology and communications.

SENTIDO'S 'IN THE LOOP' MEDIA FORUM NOW OPERATES IN OPEN-COMMENT BLOG FORMAT

In the [ media ] Loop is Sentido's foray into thematic-analytic blogging, and is designed to put stories of vital interest, alongside media criticism, in front of readers who may have an interest to add to or to critique the pieces they find.

HYPER-CONVERGENCE OF MEDIA & SERVICES NECESSITATES NEW PARADIGM FOR SECURING PERSONAL DATA

The potential for broad-scope "electronic agents" —preprogrammed service aggregators and self-organizing databases with proactive marketing capability—, aiding in everyday information-related activities, will require a new security standard to prevent identity theft, which could become one of the gravest threats to economic performance and individual liberty.

SPEAK CLEAN & FREE

I think to myself in quiet excursion
you cannot be what you are
as you cannot be what you are not
because the world is too brief & teetering
& the sense of self is too constant & necessary
you cannot empty out the hollows
& the high sierras...

THUS AS OUR THANKS
Ryan Munson

Ode to the many sweet dreams
That saunter on November chills
The children are gifts like smiles
The wash between sun and downy leaf
So falling bliss hits are the eyes...

SELF DESTRUCTION
Ryan Munson

Gravity leak on the nine sang the dronebot Tinker
Foreseer like the tentacles slurp on the unknown seed
And next the ghetto birds wail get out get out
But alas the chains spit when driving at the sun
Nova Child and Tealeaf make eyes like dragon wing
Yet the elders laugh when the Rainbows jettison
Again and again and again...

CRISIS POLICY FORUM: FORGING SOLUTIONS FROM OPEN DEBATE

The Crisis Policy Forum is a proposed online community project with a view to fomenting open debate and discourse on humanitarian, political and economic crises across the world. CPF aims to highlight and bring about new research and policy-proposals, to produce viable, locally-relevant solutions to pervasive crises such as fresh-water scarcity, chronic poverty, access to technology and education, voting rights, agricultural sustainability, infectious disease, conflict resolution and democracy.

SENTIDO LAUNCHES SPECIAL REPORT SECTION ON FREEDOM OF THE PRESS

Sentido.tv is devoted to a free and independent press, and upholds the right of all people to live in societies where the presses and modern news media are open, and enjoy the freedom to deliver news that is inconvenient to those in positions of influence. Without this freedom, democracy and the business of information are in constant peril of being extinguished. Our special report on press freedom will allow readers to see what stories we publish that relate to the state of that vital freedom in today's world.

PROJECT 'QUIPU': AN INTEGRATED ECONOMIC VIEW FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

To emerge from the fog of flawed and incomplete economic and financial analysis, we need to come to grips with the fact that all resources, all functions or 'services', be they natural or the product of human ingenuity, figure somehow in economic values at all levels. Think proposes to create a system whereby live-update, rss-technology, and financial and editorial expertise, for evaluating broad economic trends and engagements, without limiting analysis to single-parameter references like GDP or individual stock indices.

SENTIDO GOES AUDIO, ADDS STREAMING RADIO TO ENHANCE USER EXPERIENCE

Sentido.tv has added a new feature to its Media section, allowing users to listen to music from a selection of styles, over embedded streaming radio widgets. The move is the first step in a plan to create a multimedia experience that will bring added impact to Sentido's depth of research and principled reporting.

SENTIDO ENVIRONMENT SECTION GOES TO VIDEO

Casavaria's news publication, Sentido.tv, has now linked embedded video directly to its environment pages, to add a vastly expanded information resource to what has until now been a text-driven research and reporting subsection of the news pages. Also follow the Earth Policy Institute's book presentations...

THINK: A NEW RESEARCH PROJECT EVOLVING SOLUTIONS FOR SMARTER LIVING

Through the 'Think' project, Casavaria [Sentido's publisher] aims to develop major new technologies to help bring the costly aspects of everyday post-industrial life in line with what the planet, and civilization itself, can sustain. The project seeks to reduce instability in technology for communication and to develop an entirely new sort of renewable "fuel" source.

SENTIDO VIDEO NOW SHOWING REUTERS SYNDICATED VIDEO PLAYER

Sentido video is going "live" with regularly updated video news feeds from Reuters. The player is available on the front page of Sentido's video section, and allows users to browse a number of headlines, selecting video clips as they become available, or to view the entire series of the moment as one continuous stream.

A FACE

This face approaching specifies no world. This face I see belongs to a young woman with a very old story to tell. She has lived within the story all her life; it quiets her, and it speaks for her; she contains it, though she believes it to be much larger and more significant than she.

BREATHING MOON, OVER WATER

There is a space of reason beyond loss, of comfort in the steel grip of doubt, that has come to exist because we know the kind of brazen pact of so many little unspoken guarantees, the haunted mornings we could not share, the quiet that was full of absence, and even the graces given me by people willing to hear of it, to want for it as well, to see the sublime torment of your distance...

OUR OLD FEUILLAGE

Nativities, climates, the grass of the great pastoral Plains,
Cities, labors, death, animals, products, war, good and evil—these me,
These affording, in all their particulars, the old feuillage to me
and to America...
How can I but as here chanting, invite you for yourself to collect
bouquets of the incomparable feuillage of these States?

MIRACLES

As to me I know of nothing else but miracles,
Whether I walk the streets of Manhattan,
Or dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky,
Or wade with naked feet along the beach just in the edge of the water...

LYDIA

I dreamt she was here
for me alone
I dreamt she had red pollen in her soul
and descended upon me
with careful
lascivious beauty...

SONG OF THE OPEN ROAD

Henceforth I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune,
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing,
Done with indoor complaints, libraries, querulous criticisms,
Strong and content I travel the open road.

The earth, that is sufficient,
I do not want the constellations any nearer...

WHITMAN: SALUT AU MONDE!

I hear fierce French liberty songs,
I hear of the Italian boat-sculler the musical recitative of old poems,
I hear the locusts in Syria as they strike the grain and grass with
the showers of their terrible clouds,
I hear the Coptic refrain toward sundown, pensively falling on the
breast of the black venerable vast mother the Nile,
I hear the chirp of the Mexican muleteer, and the bells of the mule,
I hear the Arab muezzin calling from the top of the mosque,
I hear the Christian priests at the altars of their churches...

[Texto completo]

¿CÓMO LLEGUÉ HASTA AQUÍ?

puedo citar hechos, ilusiones, casualidades, grandes apuestas por la confianza, grandes muestras de desafío y las tormentas del alma,

puedo citar tremendismos y relámpagos, incendios y desiertos de hielo, tundra y éter, chispas y torrentes de agua salada,

puedo citar evanescencias y repeticiones...

LLUEVEN

desvanecer de una tarde nublada
esferas de sol y de añoranza
en cada mano
exaltación en la voz
que habla sólo en llanto
que canta sólo una marea casi
y un cruce de caminos
casuales y resurgentes del pasado...

BORRASCOSA CONTIENDA DE TU MIRADA

veo que sales forzosa
livianas chispas de lástima
poblando la borrascosa contienda de tu mirada
donde toda la verdad fluye
y levanta oxígenos ágiles...

BESTIA GERMINAL: YVES TANGUY EN BARCELONA
MEDITACIONES DE UN POETA NORTEAMERICANO SOBRE EL SURREALISTA TRANSNACIONAL, UN DOMINGO DE DICIEMBRE

La exposición comienza con un texto que sitúa la obra de Tanguy en "una especie de matriz original donde mar y madre son una misma cosa", y al entrar nos encontramos de manera chocante con todo lo opuesto: los juegos de un niño caprichoso carente de toda paciencia artística, y señala algo importante en la obra de Tanguy: la prisa por terminar, la impaciencia ante la idea de una obra posible.

THANKSGIVING

Tenía sentido, éramos grandes, caían las ocho del reloj y todo comenzaba, la víspera del primer ataque, soñábamos que el amor lo era todo, y tenía sentido : buscabas tus raíces en el cielo, hallaste voces matizadas y contempladoras, seres alados que te recordaban con demasiada facilidad, cómo había sido todo, antes...

DEL ÓRGANO CONCEPTUALIZADOR, DISUELTO EN EL LENGUAJE

¿Sabemos sobre qué terreno pisamos, qué fundamento se levanta debajo de nuestros pies para darnos lugar? si las palabras tienen un peso variable incluso en el momento en que se dicen, y cuál es el trasfondo de esa variación? o sea, qué mensaje escondido pueda haber en la energía que conllevan y dejan caer sobre nuestra percepción de la realidad?

FABULOSOS Y APLASTANTES (Enumerando arenas, XV)

Llegan y se van, apartando las exigencias del reloj, del mercado, del viaje en sí, fabulosos y aplastantes, un manojo de desvíos y persistencias que hacen vibraciones en el imaginario vital : un momento todo parece ser oscuridad y el extremo silencio de enfrentarse solo con las exigencias de una perversidad económica, y otro la dudosa persistencia de un poeta en su trabajo de poeta, y en el próximo amor y plenitud, sabor y melodía : la duda, el fracaso, el pánico, la pérdida y la demora eterna se desmienten en estos ratos de acercamiento repentindo a la llama, de epifanía en el darse cuenta de que lo que vive tanto dentro como alrededor de uno es fuente de luz y calidez y que puede y quiere y seguirá llegando a su vez, a lo que quiere ser o hacer en nosotros, en mí, en mi alerta y suavizado contorno...

ENUMERANDO ARENAS, VII

Existen momentos inmejorables, temporadas, ambientes, amistades, que existen justo porque están en la cumbre de lo que pueden llegar a ser, nunca serán más : y por algo existe la teoría de que todo es así, todos los momentos, todos los irrevocables fallos de lo que "nos toca" vivir, todo el sistema inmunológico psíquico que no sabemos desmentir...

ESTRÉS HÍDRICO: RETO ECONÓMICO-ECOLÓGICO GLOBAL PARA EL SIGLO XXI

El agua es uno de los componentes básicos de la vida, como suele señalarse en la ciencia, en aulas de biología, en la medicina, en la teología, debate sobre la política ambiental, y hasta en la vosmología y en la exploración del espacio exterior. Pero también es un recurso cuyo valor económico depende cada vez más de una escasez crónica y de una distribución desigual.

NEUTRALIDAD DE INTERNET: PRINCIPIO CLAVE PARA MANTENER UNA DEMOCRACIA ABIERTA

El concepto de la 'neutralidad de internet' se refiere al estado actual en los países libres, donde aquellos que controlan la infraestructura física de internet no pueden manipular ni controlar el contenido de los que publican contenido en esa red. Es un ingrediente elemental para garantizar la libertad de información que hace que la web sea tan útil y tan valiosa para la sociedad libre y abierta.

MOCHILAS KHAKI, CON SUEÑOS DE OASIS

El motivo es ya conocido, repetido en muchas películas y en muchas novelas de estirpe romántico o aventurero: el 'everyman' que es a su vez estudioso, o auto-didacta, que porta pantalones khaki, camisa blanca, a veces algún tipo de pañuelo en la cabeza, y una mochila de lienzo y cuero.

LA DISTANCIA EXPRESIVA

Amor, lejanía, indecisión, tremendismo en minucia, amigos y familiares que se van, el hogar que se desintegra, el cuerpo que vive una vida y la desvive a la vez : el ser humano es en su más profundo altruismo también egoísta, hay siempre la base del yo que lo vive todo, lo graba todo, lo recuerda y lo reformula todo, a su manera y en el idioma que más le va...

LOS DIEZ LIBROS DE ARQUITECTURA
Marco Vitruvio

Marco Vitruvio Polión, (Marcus Vitruvius Pollio). Arquitecto, escritor, ingeniero y tratadista romano del siglo I adC. Es el autor del tratado sobre arquitectura más antiguo que se conserva y el único de la Antigüedad clásica, una referencia para reproducir las formas arquitectónicas de la antigüedad greco-latina.

BESTIARIO, 2007
CAPRICHOS Y CARICATURAS QUE COBRAN VUELO

En el Bestiario de Marco Hernández, creado entre enero y febrero del 2007, en Barcelona, las formas geométricas cobran vida, se defienden del vacío con pellejos y camuflaje, parecen montar sus mascaradas y evolucionan de un paso emocional a otro, profundizando en temas que podrían ser tanto los desengaños de la niñez como las tragedias de un gran amor frustrado...

EXERCISES FROM OUR LITERARY WORKSHOP
"Numbering sands"
William Shakespeare writes in Richard II "The task he undertakes is numbering sands and drinking oceans dry..." His meaning is that a given task is near to impossible; it is possible to write some beautiful and glimmering prose or verse by examining ways in which people persist in their attempts to achieve immensely complicated or seemingly unreasonable dreams...
Politics of the Apocryphal, or Unsaid

WRITING & NAMING: the medicine of acquiring knowledge :: What takes place in the process of writing, in the spilling of ink or the posting of digital characters, the slip toward defining a landscape, however brief, is the sanctification of an individual, and by extension of the human condition as such...

Casavaria celebra el cuarto centenario de la novela El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha, con una edición de la primera parte (primavera 2005) y otra de la segunda parte (primavera 2006)...

Casavaria was represented at the book fair lining Barcelona's entire city center on 23 April 2006, in collaboration with Linkgua; the day is known as the Day of the Book and coincides with the feast day of St Jordi, the city's patron saint.

ILLUSION OF THE DEFINITE & INVASIVE 'OTHER'
The push to establish a single national language can only be sustained on the basis of a number of false premises, all of which work against the interests of both a democratic society and American tradition itself.
LA DUDA, EL MISTERIO Y EL VÉRTIGO
En la duda, hay peligros, pero en la duda, también nace la fe. La duda existe, tiene que existir, porque el intelecto humano no puede tenerlo todo siempre arreglado y categorizado; nos reduce la posibilidad de comprensión infinita el hecho de estar obligados a vivir en el tiempo...

ASTRONOMERS DISCOVER 'GAPING HOLE' IN UNIVERSE, 1 BILLION-LIGHT YEARS ACROSS
Astronomers examining a microwave anomaly in the area of the constellation Eridanus, southwest of Orion, report having discovered a massive void, far larger than anything seen or theorized to date. The empty space, more than 1 billion light-years in diameter, contains no galaxies, stars or visible nebula, and appears to lack even dark matter.
