Abstract

Focusing on a specific period of J. L. Brea's theoretical practice, we carry out a critical analysis of two fundamental concepts in his work: RAM culture and electronic cultural capitalism. From this, a series of discursive tensions are derived regarding the fetishism of merchandise in the world-Internet era and its implications in the regime of construction of contemporary subjectivities, towards a differential conceptualization in contemporary thought.

Author Biography

Miguel Vega Manrique, Autonoma University of Madrid

Miguel Vega Manrique began to study music in 2002 at the Gijón Professional Conservatory of Music (extraordinary prize at the end of professional degree) and the higher degree of oboe at the RCSMM (2012-2016). He completed the Master's Degree in Teacher Training specializing in Language and Literature (UAM, 2016-2017), the inter-university Master's Degree in History of Contemporary Art and Visual Culture (UAM / UCM / MNCARS, 2017-2018) and studies in Hispanic Philology at UNED. I am part of the team of Cultural mediators of the Museo Reina Sofía between June 2018 and June 2019. Currently working with Dr. Jesús Carrillo on a doctoral thesis project at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the UAM, within the Program PhD in Artistic, Literary and Cultural Studies. His research revolves around two axes: the relationships that operate between the Drug and Politics categories with respect to post-capitalist modes of subjectivation and the place of desire in the libidinal economy of neoliberal societies.
