Humanity and Uncertaninty

Abstract

With these lines we want to present this new volume 19 of the ASRI magazine. Art and Society. It is difficult to evade the events that we are experiencing due to the COVID-19 pandemic and that affects all orders of our lives in very different ways. For this reason, and despite the difficulties of all kinds, we are very pleased to present this number that, in a certain way, aspires to the continuation and normality so longed for. As we pointed out in this issue's call for contributions, it's all happening very fast. Virilio's concept of acceleration –and the global accident– have taken shape on a planetary scale, so that the pandemic has placed us at the same time and globally in a multitude of spaces and places, including the spaces of thinking and writing. From the research objectives of the ASRI magazine, we have wanted to join it by inviting authors to reflect and give a place or an attempted response, through art and the humanities, to everything that, in a digital existence , still constitutes us as human beings.
