"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:14)
Christmas celebrates a birth that changed history and changed the culture, values, mode of living and thinking of an entire civilization is based on different ways on its foundation. So I would like to celebrate too, without messianism none, the desire for a digital birth, perhaps a new way of presenting fiction: those of earlier, now, the immediate future as well.
This reminds me today that if the creation of a history text is made as a labor and birth, which is held by a few close to the author, the editing is finished the same as the presentation of a child in the temple, to the reading public, which will support their reading and advertising history. Verb and made incarnate, he begins to dwell among us.
The publishing empire as we knew it, in its vast network of paper fell, but the digital edition stands today, tonight, and next year, or next decade, nestled on a bed of straw, under the light a shooting star, bright, somewhat uncertain but constant hidden in a humble manger inn not reach in many places, but of which everyone speaks and some wise and visit and geotag wearing gold few, incense others some myrrh. Sheep others that not all metals . I also have the Herod who want to stab the baby in the manger, and thus seem to want to destroy all newborn initiative a possible future that does not resemble any the past.
The story of the Nativity, moved from orality to writing papyrus and parchment, entered in the new format of -century codex, to printing at 42 lines per page Gutenberg vocal reading of the pulpit, the iconographic vision frames, altarpieces and paintings at film and television, the network networks, and will remain so for ever and ever .
Basically, the story of the Nativity, like any story or searches disclosed and belong to different generations of readers and spectators that happen and make it happen: that is now in the magnificent hybrid of media eagerly hypermedia Transmediatic, interactive, social and . The birth difficult and erratic digital edition emerges as a global desire and an opportunity to rethink the paradigm of our values, our fiction, and our way of sharing so many stories. Year 0.
why the following video of widespread viral these days is more than just a clever metaphor, and became the finding of a digital reality, also a way of seeing and understanding the story, of seeing ourselves reading the world The fiction that we are made. Editors take note doubters still good news.
will now great patriarchs, new book orders, heresies, persecutions, Judas and passions, sublime artistic expressions, inquisitions, and digital demonstrations as many virtual identities generate this nativity 2.0.1.1 But those who live for fiction, to revive their various forms, materials, presentations and possibilities is the best way to continually reborn in each of its echoes and their readings.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2.0.1.0 2.0.1.1 (beta)
