'La modernidad fue un "blip" en el sistema' 

This interview with me, '"La modernidad fue un "blip" en el sistema": sobre teorías y disrupciones con Gary Hall' ['"Modernity was a "blip" in the system": on theories and disruptions with Gary Hall'] has just appeared in the Colombian weekly magazine Semana. It was conducted by Alejandro Pérez Echeverry when I visitied Bogotá to give a keynote at Dispositivos institucionales, universitarios, editoriales, 17, Instituto de Estudios Críticos, Centro Cultural Gabriel García Márquez, late January, early February, 2020.

'At the end of 2020, before the covid-19 and misery led us to awaken as a society to the point of dignity and resistance, Gary Hall passed through Colombia. He did it within the framework of the seminar 'Cátedra 9 Viento - Critical Imagination'. Before his lecture “Contemporary Editorial Devices”, Hall spoke with us.

 

As he makes clear in this interview, it is many things, he prefers it that way. He avoids the title of "expert" that many avidly seek and is not afraid to say that he plays something else, that he does not seek to be a "brand." For this reason, even though a photo was taken for this article, he does not include one or in his own biography.

 

In this talk, Hall talks about devices of disruption in universities, in the publishing field and in the media, also of finding hope in community movements and in their crusade to regain their self-determination over the interests of multinationals. Hall exposes the hypocrisies of the media system and also hits hard on the educational system of his country and an elite that believes they know what the public "needs" to know. He reviews Shakespeare and the impacts of Gutenberg's invention, talks about Michel Foucault, the impact of photography on art, Napster, Spotify, Netflix and Facebook....'
