What is Technoexistentialism
“Technoexistentialism” may be defined as the most well-known West-centric existentialist definition of technology. We assume that the industrial project of defining technology and of coming to terms with it was first broached by Heidegger. We can indeed claim that there is a dialectical spiritualization of the forms of existential life in the writings of 19th century philosophers, starting with Hegel and evolving with Heidegger’s writings on exis…
Pre-Hispanic Musical Instruments of Mineral de Pozos
This research contributes to the preservation of the organological heritage of instruments made by a small group of artisan builders who draw inspiration from the pre-Hispanic past of the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. These artisans belong to the town of San Pedro de los Pozos – Mineral de Pozos- in the municipality of San Luis de la Paz, in the northeast of the state of Guanajuato, which again is part of the culturally rich South Central Mexican …
Aesthetics of Hallucination
Throughout this text we will analyze some human concerns that are the subject of analysis in different fields of knowledge such as philosophy, art, science and technology. These concerns revolve around what is reality? what is fiction? what are the effects of hallucination? and what is virtuality? through different cultural products such as art, literature, cinema, psychoactive or entheogenic experiences, up to the most recent proposals of Virtua…
Approaching and Re-stating the Question of Global Anxieties
Anxiety caused by the psychosocial reality of war, pandemic, natural disasters, or poverty, among other factors, may be studied from two kinds of methodological premises: first, the deep and unencumbered perception of anxiety as a metacognitive process indicating diminution in energy levels and normative expression or behaviors of individuals. The subject finds oneself in a situation that is out of sync with the environment, and experiences low e…
Octavio Paz Meets Malay Roychoudhury
In this article, we explore how the destinies of some poets were intertwined in the history of publications of El Corno emplumado, a Spanish-English bilingual literary journal that was edited by Octavio Paz among others and published in Mexico from 1962 to 1969. The epistolary relationships that El Corno emplumado engendered contributed to the writing ethic of an entire generation. The poets developed the flipped metaphor as a descriptive fall fo…
Indian English is also Creole
Research pedagogy in India should readjust itself to accommodate claims of regional autonomy in arts and letters. Different ways of reconstructing a pedagogy of research are recommended. Reflexive Humanism ensures adequate assessment and evaluation of cultural, literary, and aesthetic achievements of diverse populations. The Indian English corpus is redefined as a creolized Indian language with lexical and semantic factors borrowed from English. …
The Ideological Limits of Digital Poetics
Digital poetics has emerged as a genre following the development of machine augmented literatures. An algorithm could generate transient but successful emotive appraisals that characterize human poetry. Production of cybertext is enabled by the presence of advanced Anglophone Synset compilations, text summarization and development-constrained specifics of the corpora. Digital poetics in regional non-Anglophone languages thus remain marginalized o…
Reflections on Literature and Art at a Time of Pandemic
Microbial Nanoids
In this paper the authors describe the pioneering robot designed by Arcangel Constantini, called the Nanodrizas (2006). Nanodrizas is a cluster of small robots resembling extraterrestrial flying objects. They are introduced into an ecosystem for water recycling, among other effects. The result of a seriocomic robotic device like the Nanodrizas is to make the viewer aware of the specific technology that would one day allow humans to invite machine…
Aesthetics of Biocybernetic Designs
The authors identify some of the theoretical premises of biocybernetic art objects, with reference to the works of Nam June Paik, Edward Ihnawitz, Ulrike Gabriel, and most notably, Gilberto Esparza, the Mexican biocybernetic artist. Systems theory anticipates stochastic convergences in nature, defying the classic certitude of the teleological notion of form. Evidence for this paradigmatic shift is found in the biocybernetic creatures conceived by…
