\"\"Thanks to everyone who took part in last week\u2019s discussion with Diego Sztulwark. People have commented to me that it was one of the best sessions we have had to date, and most of the credit for that goes to Ana Vivaldi, for putting together an excellent and very coherent series of readings and conversations in preparation for Diego\u2019s visit. Once again, moreover, I am struck by the continuities in the topics and questions across the last several months, at the very least from Alberto Moreiras\u2019s visit to the present.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as always, Ricardo has put up some ungodly thoughts on our blog: Notas a La ofensiva sensible: neoliberalismo, populismo y el reverso de lo pol\u00edtico de Diego Sztulwark (2)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And once again, I want to remind everyone that you are all invited to contribute short texts (c. 500 words) to the blog, whether about our readings and discussions, or on any other topic that you want to share with us. Please do avail yourselves of this opportunity.<\/p>\n

We now move to a new cycle or series of readings, which will lead up to a visit from the Venezuelan photographer, Nelson Garrido. This cycle is organized by Mar\u00eda Julieta Cordero. This is a series that will deal with photography and the representation of violence, among other issues.<\/p>\n

We begin, as is becoming a bit of a habit, with some film and literature.<\/p>\n
