Libidinal Economy of the Transition

<p>In dialogue with the exhibition <em>The Poetics of Democracy: Images and Counter-Images from the Transition</em>, the third volume of <em>Carta(s)</em>, <em>Libidinal Economy of the Transition</em>, publishes a conversation between Amador Fernández-Savater and Germán Labrador Méndez on the latter’s <em>Culpables por la literatura (imaginación política y contracultura, 1968-1986)</em> [Guilt of Literature (Political Imagination and Counterculture, 1968–1986)]. Furthermore, this edition reproduces Concha Jerez’s <em>Seguimiento de una noticia</em> (Following a Piece of News), 1977, a series which records the appearance and progressive disappearance in the media of the death of five workmen, killed by the police during a workers’ protest in Vitoria in 1976. This work was published for the first time in an artist’s book format and is also part of the Museo Reina Sofía Collection.</p>
