"From the 1880s onward, picture postcards with standardized motifs were being written, sent, and – after the standardization of the postal service – also delivered in the millions. As an artistic material characterized by the ephemeral form of the dispatch with its distribution routes and postmarks, the postcard was also bound up on the material level with ideas about the novelty of modern technology and revolutionary uses of media.“The new postcard was seen as fast, efficient, often political, and potentially dangerous even as it was represented as a fad.” [Monica Cure: Picturing the Postcard: A New Media Crisis at the Turn of the Century (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press 2018), p. 5] Beyond that, the postcard also brought another form of temporality to pictures: the temporal logic of distribution, dispatch, and circulation. After being mailed, postcards become part of a fairly open temporality of potential delays and postponements, as with the postcard that arrived fifty-one years late, which was temporarily lost in the Italian postal system and almost failed to reach its addressee. Although today real-time streaming and social media have turned postcards into dinosaurs of media archaeology, their past future at the beginning of the twentieth century prefigured the utopian tropes in the sender–recipient logic of visual media that are now once again making it possible to imagine an open future in the ubiquitous visual worlds of the Internet."

Bookshelf Update

For this update I’m going to focus the Boston bookshelf. These stats are not what I wanted them to be. As of today I have 168 books on my shelf. About 10% are partially read, only 34% are read, so the majority (56%) are unread. Many of them are new since the Bookshelf Stats post 6 months ago. I told myself I wouldn’t especially because I bought a nook and really like that reading experience. Some…

IMAGENES Y DATOS INTERESANTES DEL DIA 15 DE ABRIL DE 2024

Día Mundial del Arte, Día del Niño, Día Internacional de la Enfermedad de Pompe, Año Internacional de los Camélidos.

San Amilcar, Santa Anastasia y Santa Potenciana.

Tal día como hoy en el año 2019: Se produce el incendio de la Catedral de Notre Dame, en París (Francia).

2013

Ocurre el atentado de la maratón de Boston (Estados Unidos), al explotar dos bombas cerca de la línea de meta. Causando la muerte a tres personas y heridas a otras 282.

1986

Una fuerza aérea compuesta por nueve aviones F-111 estadounidenses y británicos, bombardean las ciudades libias de Bengasi y Trípoli desde portaviones situados frente a la costa libia. Algunos bombardeos tienen como objetivo "La Puerta Esplendida", palacio presidencial de Gadafi, donde, en el total de los ataques, resulta muerta una hija adoptiva del líder libio, además de 60 civiles. El presidente libio saldrá indemne. Este ataque es la respuesta que da la Administración Reagan, al ver la mano del Gobierno libio detrás del grupo terrorista que perpetró un atentado contra una discoteca berlinesa en el que fallecieron tres personas, entre ellos un militar norteamericano.

Tropas británicas entran en el campo de concentración alemán de Bergen-Belsen cerca de Hannover, en Alemania. En el interior del campamento los horrorizados soldados encuentran montones de muertos, cadáveres en estado de descomposición, miles de enfermos y prisioneros hambrientos hacinados en una falta total de higiene. Belsen es el primer campo de concentración liberado por los británicos. Los detalles de las condiciones en el interior horrorizarán a un público que hasta ahora sólo ha escuchado limitadas descripciones de los campos de Polonia liberados por el Ejército Rojo.

Como consecuencia del choque contra un iceberg que se produjo poco antes de la medianoche del 14, el trasatlántico "Titanic", de la compañía naviera White Star, se hunde definitivamente en aguas del Atlántico Norte. Es el mayor, 46329 toneladas, y más lujoso jamás construido. Cuenta con 16 compartimentos estancos divididos por 15 mamparas transversales que, junto a un doble fondo, deben proteger al buque frente a posibles accidentes o averías. Lamentablemente, al pensar sus constructores que el buque es indestructible, no se halla preparado para una emergencia de este tipo y, por tanto, no cuenta con botes salvavidas para todos. 1.513 muertos y 705 supervivientes es el trágico balance de este inopinado naufragio.

En Panamá, el ciudadano norteamericano Jack Oliver se niega a pagar el real que cuesta la tajada de sandía que se acaba de comer y que le ha vendido José Manuel Luna. Este hecho degenera en una disputa personal, que, al poco, deriva en una trifulca armada entre estadounidenses y panameños con un trágico saldo de 15 norteamericanos muertos y 16 heridos y 2 panameños muertos y 13 heridos. Este incidente supondrá el inicio de las intervenciones militares de Estados Unidos en Panamá ya que, en septiembre, tropas norteamericanas desembarcarán en el istmo y forzarán el pago de indemnizaciones por lo que fue una trifulca callejera originada por los norteamericanos en territorio panameño.

En Francia tiene lugar la batalla de Formigny, decisiva para el curso de la Guerra de los Cien Años, en la que un ejéricito francés bien organizado aniquila a dos tercios de las tropas inglesas, marcando el inicio del declive inglés. La ciudad de Caen caerá en manos francesas el 6 de julio. El puerto de Cherburgo lo hará el 12 de agosto, recuperando así los franceces, y perdiendo por tanto los ingleses, la Normandía para siempre.
