Franco, Jean, Angst global en la ciudad letrada.
Global Angst in the Lettered City.This essay talks about the meaning of global and says that it can be less big and less complete than what McLuhan or Appudarai originally thought and that daily life and popular culture micropractices demand new ways in order to evaluate what it is considered to be spontaneous and ephemeral. From this fact, the author assumes that popular culture is nowadays a way to understand what it is global. Franco also approaches the search of answers to the angst that people who make cultural studies suffer from.

Bartra, Roger / Salvajismo, civilización y modernidad: la etnografÃa frente al mito.
Civilization and Modernity: Ethnography upon Myth.
In this article, the author’s proposal is to study the transformations of the savage man myth during some symptomatic moments of his evolution. From ethnography’s point of view, he approaches iconographic, literary and scientific history of myths. In this work, the author makes reference to different historical moments, but he stops to study Durero’s engravings which illustrate the alarming change of an old myth at the beginning of modernity. Bartra keeps on with an analysis he already started on his book El salvaje en el espejo (The savage in the mirror) (1992) in which he widely exposes the historical backgrounds of myth.

Sarlo, Beatriz / Modernidad y después: la cultura en situación de hegemonÃa massmediática
Modernity and Afterwards: Culture in a Position of Mass Media Hegemony.
More than a work of sociology of culture, this document is an essay of opinion within the limits of cultural analysis, guided by intellectual concern related not only with the description of the study field but actually with the practice itself. From the author’s point of view, we are facing a dilemma due to the fact that new technologies open up many aesthetic possibilities, but they have not yet found one able to be compared to the twentieth century grand aesthetics regarding productivity. In this way, the author thinks that in the last three decades, the change in technological dimension and in the market have created a new audience and new consuming ways because, contrary to what it is said, technical innovation is the one that finally speaks out.
