Marshall McLuhan’s conceptual contrapositions as a starting point to
analyse and expose the search for a new sonic language made urgent after
the collapse of tonality in the twentieth century. The series looks at
the many probes and experiments that were launched in the last century
in search of new musical resources, and a new aesthetic; for ways to
make music adequate to a world transformed by disorientating
technologies.<br><br></span></font><div><font size="2"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">You can find the latest instalment of the series, e<a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial/probes-20-1-chris-cutler/capsula" target="_blank">xploring the impact of Indian instruments in Western Music here.</a><br><br><a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/zach-blas/capsula">2-</a><b><b><a> SON[I]A #238.

is a pioneer of militant queer and lesbian cinema. Her second film,
'Born in Flames', described by Sophie Mayer as “feminist Afro-futurist
science fiction”, oozes freshness and relevance even though it was
released in 1983. It was produced without a script – through what she
calls inductive scripting – and shot over a period of four years with a
budget of barely 40,000 dollars. The editing table then became one of
her closest allies: guided by intuition and tenacious lucidity, she
turned to pseudo-documentary to make up for the shortcomings resulting
from precariousness and amateurism in the film world. </span><br><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:normal;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);display:inline;float:none">Against
this backdrop, pirate radio became one of the protagonists and main
motifs of the narrative thread of 'Born in Flames'. In this short
excerpt, Lizzie Borden explains the various reasons that led her to take
an interest in the phenomenon of European free radio, and how it helped
her to connect the various agendas of this cult film.</span></span></font></div></div><font size="2"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br><b><a target="_blank" href="http://rwm.macba.cat/es/sonia/raquel-gutierrez-/capsula">4- <span style="color:rgb(255,0,255)"></span></a><a><span style="color:rgb(255,0,255)"></span></a><a>SON[I]A #235. </a>Alberto Berzosa </b><span><b><a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/es/sonia/raquel-gutierrez-/capsula">(only available in Spanish)</a></b><br><br>Link: <a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/es/sonia/raquel-gutierrez-/capsula" target="_blank">http://rwm.macba.cat/es/sonia/<wbr>raquel-gutierrez-/capsula</a><br><br></span>Alberto Berzosa habla sobre el papel del cine antes de la Transición,

John Mason talks about the power of rituals and food as the impetus for
resistance, identity, and memory, about the cultural transfers that take
place in migratory movements, and about the history of the Yoruba
people. In this podcast, Mason also defends the untold story of the role
of women as inventors, and highlights the political, social and
economic impact of certain spaces occupied by women, such as agriculture
and education, as well pediatrics, geriatrics and affects.<br></span></font></p><p><b><font size="2"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif">2/<a href="http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/merve-elveren-salt/capsula" target="_blank"> SON[I]A #234.
