new issue of continent
August 4, 2012
Since it first appeared a year or two ago, continent has offered a number of fascinating articles in each issue.
The latest issue is HERE.
As usual, there are a number of interesting things in this issue, but let me call your attention to two:
1. Duane Rousselle’s review of Levi Bryant’s The Democracy of Objects.
2. A piece by the late Vilém Flusser. Flusser isn’t especially well known in the Anglophone world, but here in Brazil he seems to be talked about constantly, in part due to his long residence in São Paulo. Flusser died in 1991 in an auto accident in what was then Czechoslovakia. Apparently he had just returned to Prague (his native city) for the first time since the war, to attend a conference held in his honor, and the fatal accident occurred on the way home.
