Un viaggio, nel centenario della nascita, nel mondo di celluloide e delle lettere di Pier Paolo Pasolini, intellettuale tra i piu attivi e poliedrici nel panorama culturale dellItalia del secondo dopoguerra. Le sue molte vite, sempre lontane dal conformismo imperante di unItalia da poco uscita dalla guerra e ancora ancorata a stilemi arcaici e borghesi. Un intellettuale eretico e avverso alle etichette, ha rappresentato il grido piu forte e disperato contro il consumismo e contro lomologazione di massa degli italiani che si apprestavano a perdere definitivamente la loro identita prevalentemente rurale. Uno sguardo severo sulla societa contemporanea che, in quegli anni, usciva dal benessere del boom economico per annegare nel gorgo sanguinario dello stragismo. Il volume ricostruisce il suo tortuoso percorso di vita eristica sino al suo assassinio, avvenuto nella meta degli anni Settanta dove una misteriosa rete di complicita lo ha condannato alloblio verso le nuove generazioni e ha reso vana la ricerca della verita su quello che realmente accadde in quello sterrato dellIdroscalo romano durante la notte fra il primo e il due novembre 1975!Il volume, infine, e corredato di unampia filmologia e una cronologia di tutte le sue opere in volume oltre a unampia bibliografia di riferimento, nonche un apparato esaustivo di tutti soggetti e sceneggiature che Pasolini scrisse per altri registi italiani.

El Padrenuestro me era incomprensible hasta que lo desglosé visualmente en imágenes concretas. El poder y la gloria estaban representados por un arco iris y una torre eléctrica. [...] La voluntad es un concepto dificil de visualizar. Cuando lo pienso, imagino a Dios lanzando un rayo. Otro adulto autista me dijo que para visualizar que estas en los cielos imaginaba a Dios en un caballete de pintor encima de las nubes. Temple GrandinPara la mayoria de nosotros, sera dificil imaginar lo que es desear ser abrazado y, sin embargo, sentir todo contacto como una agresion; oir las suaves olas que rompen en una playa como un ruido espantoso; no ver un jardin, sino trozos sueltos de flores; ser inca-paz de reconocer a una persona si no se la ha visto antes quince veces. Para los autistas, no obstante, esta es su relacion con el mundo. ¿No nos parecera entonces incluso mas sorprendente que una mujer autista llegue a forjarse una carrera brillante en la industria ganadera y que sus innovadoras instalaciones hayan sido adoptadas en granjas y centra-les carnicas de multiples paises del mundo? Combinando autobiografia y divulgacion, Temple Grandin despeja en Pensar con imagenes los misterios del autismo, contando desde dentro su origen y tratamiento, sus formas de pensar y de sentir, la frustracion asociada a sus limitaciones pero tambien el modo de aprovecharlas y convertirlas en ventajas. Este es el testimonio fascinante de una personalidad fascinante, que, como dice Oliver Sacks, hablaba repetidamente del androide de Star Trek, Data, y de como se identificaba con el porque era un "ser logico puro", pero tambien decia que, como el, anhelaba ser humana.

El alcance de las reflexiones de John Berger es tan diverso como sustancial e influyente. En 1972, Berger revolucionó la teoría del arte con el programa televisivo Ways of Seeing, que posteriormente se publicaria en el celebre libro homonimo Modos de ver. Poco despues aparecieron Mirar y Otra manera de contar y, en paralelo, la obra artistica y literaria de Berger. La presente antologia viene a llenar un vacio en la publicacion de su obra teorica y reune, por primera vez en un solo volumen, los textos sobre fotografia mas importantes del artista e intelectual britanico.Los cerca de veinticinco ensayos que componen este volumen, cuidadosamente seleccionados por el novelista y ensayista Geoff Dyer, aparecen ordenados cronologicamente en un recorrido donde se suceden desde textos emblematicos ya publicados en algunas de las obras mas conocidas de Berger, hasta articulos ineditos aparecidos en catalogos de exposiciones. Tambien comparte sus visiones con colegas como Sebastio Salgado o Martine Franck y nos regala brillantes reflexiones sobre la obra fotografica de Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paul Strand o Eugene Smith. Un conjunto reflexivo de peso que pasa a formar parte por derecho propio de las grandes obras sobre el medio fotografico.
