FROM STRANGER THINGS TO GAME OF THRONES AND FROM TERMINATOR TO MATRIX, A MANUAL TO TRANSFORM PHILOSOPHY INTO “POPSOPHY”: PHILOPSOPHY EXPLAINED THROUGH POP AND MASS CULTURE. A new philosophical approach that finds the pop side of the mustache of Marx hidden in Terminator and the frown of Nietzsche in the folds of the plot of The Lord of the Rings. Webstar Rick DuFer signs an illuminating work that draws heavily from popular culture, helping young people and also adults to understand the thought of great philoso-phers, but above all to help them develop their own opinion. Freedom, political thought, the sense of beauty and other great themes of life thus become as many chapters of pure... “popsophy”. A book that approaches readers to modern philosophical through a new culture of reference.
Geraldo de Barros (1923-1998) was one of the most important representatives of Brazilian’s Modernism. He learned the principles of the Ulm Superior School of Design (Germany), brought them to South America and encouraged many of his colleagues to join the movement of concrete art. He cultivated contacts with the European artistic avant-garde and, in Brazil, was a pioneer in developing and experiencing new trends such as pop art and happening. This book presents an overview of his life and work, chrono-logically arranged and covering all aspects of his production with an emphasis in photography.
