This week we\u2019re writing our (monthly) editorial dedicated to the global subject, from the pathetic position of anger. Anger that rids us of any sleep on a Sunday, and Monday night (\u2026) still stunned by the English Brexit (the first triumph of the absurd at the end of a historic June) and totally floored by the results of the Spanish general elections. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019d like to dedicate this month to a discussion about the global subject. To do so we count with an excellent critical revision of what the mobility of subjects implies today, the inequality of liberties according to the place of birth, personal limitations and what these mean. <a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/The-possibility-of-appearing-where.html\">Anna Dot based on the projec &#8220;The Artist and The Stone&#8221;<\/a>, by Matteo Guidi and Giulianna Racco, penned the brilliant \u201cthe possibility of appearing where you are not expected\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/Review-Cultural-Anthropophagy-The.html\">Paloma Checa-Gismero<\/a>, on her part, wrote a review of the book \u201cCultural Anthropophagy\u2026\u201d by Lisette Lagnado (ed.) and other authors. (London: Afterall, Exhibition Histories, 2016), that analyses the Bienal de Sao Paulo 1998, curated by Paulo Herkenhoff, who rescued the concept of <em>anthropophagy<\/em> from the poet Osvaldo de Andrade and turned it into the &#8220;axis of his rewriting of the relations between colony and metropolis&#8221;; a biennale considered by many to be a milestone in post-colonial discourse.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/Each-other-s-guests.html\">Rosa Naharro<\/a> placed the accent of analysis on the institutional (artistic-cultural) response to a (supposedly thinking) subject of a global character. Revising practices, projects and programmes, but also indicating a clear, critical opinion regarding the dose of hypocrisy such programmes can house.  <\/p>\n<p>We bring the month to an end with <a href=\"http:\/\/a-desk.org\/highlights\/The-skin-of-the-eye.html\">Paulina Zamora de Otero<\/a> and a very personal text that goes precisely (bingo!) to the mediocre subjects that believe (themselves or their opinion) to be relevant, transcending any value judgment. Paulina locates her reflection focussing specifically on her close to hand Guatemalan context, but this is a global problem with knobs on; subjects with barely any notion of community, lacking in solidarity and way too short-sighted. <\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve dedicated this month to delving into what it means, or ought to mean, <em>to be or to think of oneself as a global subject<\/em>. And it seems particularly relevant in the European Union with the United Kingdom, in a Spain where mediocrity won and wins, thrown into four more years of scurvy, ridiculous representatives, while in the United States a maniac could win the presidential elections.  <\/p>\n<p>Given the generalised foolishness and the short term, ignorant political responsibility we seem to be immersed in, and because we still believe in the margins and manoeuvrability of every subject, today A for A*DESK is A for anarchy. And for asperity, because we won\u2019t lower not even one jot the critical tone with which we can publish, from culture and beyond.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At A*DESK we\u2019ve always defended a critical stance, not just about art, but also concerning the world.
