July 31 São Paulo speakers photo

I’m back in São Paulo myself, briefly. Here’s the speakers’ photo from the July 31 conference here. (All the Portuguese speakers went on July 30 instead.)

With me are, from left: Winifred Nöth, Sybille Krämer, and (at far right) Joachim Paech. The reason for so many German speakers (Siegfried Zielinski joined us from Rio onwards) is that Erick’s original idea was to have this be a huge conference on German media theory. The concept evolved a bit from there, but many of the same ideal speakers were invited.
