The TLS, rewind #4

Throughout August, we are revisiting our books roundups from previous years, and today we’re returning to last year’s suggestions. In 2019, our contributor Diana Darke said in the paper: "A lot of things need saving this summer – tangible things like bees, Notre-Dame, water … and intangible things like democracy, humanitarian ideals, community". Among the many subjects under discussion here are Oulipo, impeachment, and climate change.


We’ll be back with new weekly episodes from September 10th. Until then, head to the website – the-tls.co.uk – to keep up with the weekly magazine.

#32 – Profundezas da rede – Capítulo 2: As Peças

As redes sociais costumam recompensar discursos mais inflamados, mais polêmicos, que tirem os usuários do marasmo e provoquem interações. Esse tipo de discurso casa perfeitamente com uma paixão antiga da humanidade: as teorias conspiratórias.

Neste segundo episódio da série “Profundezas da Rede”, mergulhamos fundo nessas supostas tramas elaboradas para dominar o mundo. Falamos de como elas têm se multiplicado por aqui e nos EUA. E de como e por que a extrema direita tem abraçado esse tipo de discurso.

Falamos do pizzagate, do Qanon, de Lady Gaga, de Trump e de Bolsonaro, e falamos dele, do maior teórico conspiracionista do Brasil – o escritor, astrólogo e auto-intitulado filósofo, Olavo de Carvalho.

Protein's LOL (Lots of Love) - Full Length Film

💾

Created in an age of emerging electronic connectivity, Protein’s critically acclaimed LOL (lots of love) puts its characters on a quest for friendship and romance. Against a wall of screen-gazing isolated individuals recruited as part of the making process across the country, six cyber souls stylishly nail the language of life online as they tackle the baffling etiquette of digital discourse. Talking and dancing at speed, they make hilarious straight-to-the audience confessions and dance the physical equivalent of tagging and tweeting. Video animation by Rachel Davies, lighting design by Jackie Shemesh and original music by Andy Pink conjure a razor-sharp social commentary and an affecting rendering of human need.

“Pared down until it sings with melancholy tension…”
The Observer

“Human communication on virtual speed, exhilarating and funny. [Luca’s] best creation to date”
★★★★ The Guardian

Nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Dance at the Theatre Awards UK 2011, LOL (lots of love) brought Protein to win Best Independent Dance Company at the National Dance Awards 2011, where it was also nominated for Best Modern Choreography and Outstanding Female Performance (Sally Marie). Part of the British Council Showcase at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2011, the show subsequently toured to the Middle East, Croatia, Russia, Italy, Poland, Slovenia, Colombia, Thailand and India.

Directed by Don Boyd, this film is a Hibrow production, recorded at The Place in March 2012 in its last performance in London. The film was shortlisted in the Live Performance Relay category at San Francisco Dance Film Festival in 2013.

#31 – Profundezas da rede – Capítulo 1: O Tabuleiro

Em 1969, num projeto tocado por acadêmicos e financiado pelo Pentágono, entrava no ar a Arpanet. Uma rede de comunicações entre computadores que não podia ser desligada e à qual qualquer um podia ter acesso.

Ao longo das décadas, essa tecnologia foi sendo modificada para se tornar cada vez mais eficiente e abrangente. Hoje, ela incorpora inúmeras redes, espalha-se por todo o planeta e é conhecida como internet.

Atualmente a internet se tornou tão onipresente que até esquecemos de como era nossa vida sem ela. Diante disso, o mergulho nesse tema vai ser duplo.

Neste primeiro episódio, falamos sobre as origens da rede mundial de computadores, e sobre os fóruns anônimos de discussão que impulsionaram uma cultura digital de agressividade, humor politicamente incorreto, racismo, machismo e misoginia.

Daqui a quinze dias, voltaremos ao tema para falar sobre como a internet ajudou na ascensão da nova direita no Brasil.

How the West was written

Geoff Dyer on why Larry McMurtry’s novel Lonesome Dove was one of the most memorable reading experiences of his life (a taster from his essay: “There was no book and no reader. There was just this world, this huge landscape and its magnificently peopled emptiness”); In April 1939, the black contralto Marian Anderson stood in front of the Lincoln Memorial and performed to a crowd of 75,000 people. Carol J. Oja sheds light on the twists and turns behind a moment when the history of Civil Rights intersected with that of classical music. Read more at the-tls.co.uk
