I hope you had a nice Groundhog Day. As usual, I watched the movie again, and after all these times, I still find new stuff in it. Did you see your shadow today?

1984: Tercera parte (y última)

Posted on July 24th, 2008 at 11:39am by Pi.
Categories: Reading, Unimultiverse, Books, Untranslated.

Con 1984, Orwell crea una antiutopía muy cercana al arquetipo perfecto de infierno futuro. De hecho, todas las distopías con gobierno totalitario suelen llamarse orwellianas, hasta tal punto llega su influencia. Pocas veces se ha llegado a ese grado distópico, tal vez en novelas como Un Mundo Feliz (Aldous Huxley, 1932) donde todos debían ser felices, les gustase o no; o la delirante parodia, y a la vez ácida crítica de Fin De Siglo (Jacques Sternberg, 1971).

Buenas noticias, para variar

Si es que la revista Consumer Eroski lo mismo da disgustos que alegrías. La que he leído hoy era alegría de las buenas. Enderesulta que la UE pone fin al monopolio de las sociedades de derechos de autor. Sí, sí, habéis leído bien, ahora los autores tienen derecho a decidir qué entidad gestora de derechos de autor es la encargada de gestionar sus derechos, royalties, etc. (more…)

Usurpación semántica en el ámbito político

La verdad es que no sé como empezar a explicar éste tema. No os asustéis por el título, es simplemente una descripción de un caradurismo al que asistí anoche, cuando por desgracia ví en la televisión un reportaje humorístico sobre la clausura del Campus FAES. (more…)

Y no soy el único que piensa así

Después del artículo que publiqué el otro día sobre la propuesta de Bruselas de cobrar por las llamadas recibidas, veo que no soy el único que tiene una opinión parecida; según la revista Consumer Eroski, varias asociaciones de consumidores rechazan esta medida. Vamos, que el sentido común y el buen juicio todavía existen ^_^

¿Cobrar por las llamadas recibidas?

Desde hace un par de meses estoy suscrito a los boletines de la revista Consumer Eroski. Tiene buenos contenidos en todas las áreas de consumo: financieras, alimentarias, tecnológicas, etc. Pero lo que voy a comentar ahora es un articulo en esta revista en el que Bruselas propone que las operadoras de móviles también cobren por las llamadas recibidas. No que se cambie el actual modelo de “el que llama, paga”, sino que también paga el que recibe. (more…)

The perfect article

One of the reasons why I started this blog was saving and organizing the little articles and essays that I like to write from time to time. They could be thoughts about a social reality, or cinema critics about the last movies I’ve seen. The blog impelled me to write more, and to try to write better. (more…)

Emotional semantic

To me, language is a barrier. We have ideas going around in our head, and we have to find the appropiate words or expressions to communicate those ideas. Many of us have found ourselves in the situation where a feeling, a sensation or an idea is clear in our head, but we found difficulties in expressing it verbally in a clear way. (more…)

The puzzle of the mind

In 2008, I read a book called “Sunbathing under the rain”, by Gwyneth Lewis (a wonderful gift from a wonderful friend). The book deals with the experience with depression that the author had, a welsh poetess. As poetess, she made many metaphors, analogies and other figures of speech related to depression. One of the analogies caught my attention very much, and in it she compared the emotional depression with the meteorologic low pressures, and how they, indirectly, cause the rain, because the rain is what fits the inestable void of the low pressures. Just like that, in our depressions we search for causes which fit in that void, although they don’t have any relationship. It looked to me as a very accurate concept, although not enough developed. Inspiring myself in that analogy and in the described concept, I applied it to my current situation and to my experience in searching for psychological causes for my moods, and as result, I established another analogy.

Please, everyone have a good beer today, at least one for me, because I can’t go out and I can’t drink *sob*. I’m also warning you that I’ll probably take down this site for a while until I update all the software.
