La encendida memoria: aproximación a Thomas Merton
Este volumen analiza la vida y obra de Thomas Merton a partir de la relación entre los conceptos de soledad y sociedad desde una memoria iluminada. Se establecen correspondencias entre aspectos cruciales que se abordan dentro de las categorías amplias de soledad y sociedad desde la perspectiva de los estudios norteamericanos. La estructura monástica sería transformada en un proceso religioso dinámico, al igual que un tiempo de silencio habría de acompañar una necesidad de anunciar las buenas noticias halladas en el corazón de la contemplación y de denunciar los males de su tiempo. El crecimiento de Merton ilustra cómo iluminación y compasión acompañan indisociablemente el sendero de descenso al deshacer la caída de Adán. Se exploran las consecuencias éticas y políticas de una reconstrucción de la propia identidad con Cristo en su contexto estadounidense.
Machine Habitus
We commonly think of society as made of and by humans, but with the proliferation of machine learning and AI technologies, this is clearly no longer the case. Billions of automated systems tacitly contribute to the social construction of reality by drawing algorithmic distinctions between the visible and the invisible, the relevant and the irrelevant, the likely and the unlikely – on and beyond platforms. Drawing on the work of Pierre Bourdieu, this book develops an original sociology of algorithms as social agents, actively participating in social life. Through a wide range of examples, Massimo Airoldi shows how society shapes algorithmic code, and how this culture in the code guides the practical behaviour of the code in the culture, shaping society in turn. The ‘machine habitus’ is the generative mechanism at work throughout myriads of feedback loops linking humans with artificial social agents, in the context of digital infrastructures and pre-digital social structures. Machine Habitus will be of great interest to students and scholars in sociology, media and cultural studies, science and technology studies and information technology, and to anyone interested in the growing role of algorithms and AI in our social and cultural life.

Figuras del cómic
Este libro se propone aproximarse a una perspectiva formal y estructural centrada en la historieta, en los recursos con los que cuenta, los sistemas retóricos desarrollados por el cómic y el modo de mimesis, es decir la manera en la que se crea la ilusión de la reproducción de los acontecimientos que integran el relato. La historieta puede contemplarse en función de tres inscripciones fundamentales: la que surge de su pertenencia a la configuración visual secuencial; la que afecta a su forma plástica y nace de su capacidad para hibridar palabra y escritura y, finalmente, aquella que atañe a su difusión, a su lugar en el consumo de masas. A través del cuerpo de este breve compendio de aspectos formales, se propone una aproximación centrada en la técnica que medie entre la viñeta y los dos despliegues que dan pie a la configuración secuencial: la página y el álbum.
