Kant e o ornitorrinco
Dialogando com Tratato geral da semiótica, esta nova edição de Kant e o ornitorrinco reúne ensaios escritos por Umberto Eco que tratam de temas ligados à linguagem e à cognição. Como reconhecemos um gato? Como o diferenciamos de um cachorro? Por que não confundimos um elefante com um tatu ou não chamamos uma mulher de chapéu? Esse problema formidável vem obcecando os pensadores desde Platão até os filósofos contemporâneos, e nem mesmo Kant soube solucioná-lo de forma satisfatória. Em Kant e o ornitorrinco, Umberto Eco se debruça sobre essas questões e passeia pelo campo vago e fascinante das ciências cognitivas. "Se muitas são as coisas que digo nestas páginas, muitís...

The Robot in the Garden
An interdisciplinary collection of essays on telepistemology—the study of knowledge acquired at a distance. The Robot in the Garden initiates a critical theory of telerobotics and introduces telepistemology, the study of knowledge acquired at a distance. Many of our most influential technologies, the telescope, telephone, and television, were developed to provide knowledge at a distance. Telerobots, remotely controlled robots, facilitate action at a distance. Specialists use telerobots to explore actively environments such as Mars, the Titanic, and Chernobyl. Military personnel increasingly employ reconnaissance drones and telerobotic missiles. At home, we have remote controls for the gara...
El ornitorrinco y otros ensayos
Esta colección de ensayos configura una especie de bestiario intelectual. Siguiendo la fórmula de la célebre estatua de “Los músicos de Bremen” en estas hojas se salta de un tema a otro sin aparente conexión. Desde la relación de los cubanos con el mar, las casas embrujadas, la historia del cine o la influencia del hambre en la creación artística, hasta la transculturación de ciertos dogmas espirituales en América Latina, estos ensayos creativos en la tradición de Montaigne divierten por su gran sentido del humor y la fatalidad.

Telepresence & Bio Art
"Eduardo Kac's work represents a turning point. What it questions is our current attitudes to creativity, taking that word in its most fundamental sense." -Edward Lucie-Smith, author of Visual Arts in the 20th Century "His works introduce a vital new meaning into what had been known as the creative process while at the same time investing the notion of the artist-inventor with an original social and ethical responsibility." -Frank Popper, author of Origins and Development of Kinetic Art "Kac's radical approach to the creation and presentation of the body as a wet host for artificial memory and 'site-specific' work raises a variety of important questions that range from the status of memory i...
Information Arts
An introduction to the work and ideas of artists who use—and even influence—science and technology. A new breed of contemporary artist engages science and technology—not just to adopt the vocabulary and gizmos, but to explore and comment on the content, agendas, and possibilities. Indeed, proposes Stephen Wilson, the role of the artist is not only to interpret and to spread scientific knowledge, but to be an active partner in determining the direction of research. Years ago, C. P. Snow wrote about the "two cultures" of science and the humanities; these developments may finally help to change the outlook of those who view science and technology as separate from the general culture. In t...

Kant y el ornitorrinco
Esta obra constituye el complemento definitivo a los estudios semióticos de Eco y es una exaltación de la filosofía como arte del pensamiento y como indagación de las eternas dudas del hombre. En este ensayo de Umberto Eco, filosofía y semiótica se aúnan para analizar los mecanismos de percepción del hombre. ¿Por qué reconocemos a un gato como tal? ¿Por qué hemos acordado denominarlo de este modo? A partir de estas preguntas, Eco retoma una serie de aspectos que no se trataron con profundidad suficiente en su Tratado de semiótica general. Para ello, recoge y estudia fábulas protagonizadas por animales en las que el funcionamiento del sentido común juega un papel decisivo. Y entre todos los animales, el ornitorrinco adquiere un relieve especial, pues parece concebido para poner en crisis las teorías del conocimiento. Reseña: «De forma concisa, intelectualmente agresiva y lúcidamente incisiva, Eco pone sobre la mesa cuestiones fundamentales de la filosofía, la lingüística y la semiótica.» Kirkus Reviews
