Second call to a new #FridayRevelation sub-thread. ¿Do you have a sensibilty for the Humanities? May be you don't know it yet, but Roberto Calassos works are waiting for you to discover some of the favourite books.

Roberto Calasso sadly passed away in 2021, but his legacy as an author and editor for the prestigious Italian plublisher Adelphi is a treasure for any sensitive Humanities adept.
This 2014 lecture could be a way to test the waters, for the ones fearing their inscrutable deepness.
#FridayRevelation

Fine Arts, History, Politics and literary myth still permeating Bronze Age religious systems into the present.
Calasso's works are a monument to the Humanities, but don't expect an academic or divulgative prose. Every one of them is an initiaton, secret knowledge at your reach! #FridayRevelation

Roberto Calasso, The Art of Fiction No. 217 “The author is the successor of the saint, everyone respects the author.”

It's the day after friday, so here I come with another #FridayRevelation, a post about something that have been a discovery, a revelation or source that have been important for my developing as a former comic-book guy and Guardian-reading, tofu-eating anti-growth wokerati. Today: Roberto Calasso.

Another Friday, another #FridayRevelation.

It's not by chance that #DavidFirth has 2 million subscribers in his Youtube channel.
Also, take a look, isn't #AndrewTolvern 's history remind you to some orange showman with a narcissist dissorder playing king of america?

Another friday, another #FridayRevelation, books, films and subjects that switched my way of thinking or gave me joy.
Today:
Homo Ludens, by Johan Huizinga.
It's a delightful essay. Also, read about Huizinga's life, feels relevant.

It's almost friday and it's been a month since the last #FridayRevelation, so I decided to use this recent thread to introduce the next one: the experience of discovering gaming in 1990 - 1991

First #FridayRevelation in 2025! Yeah, it's sunday, but nevermind. What is the meaning of "sunday" anyway, why isn't "domingo" like in Spanish? Because languages are an Historical palimpsest. Joseph Campbell was the best comunicator in the compared mythology field. #mythology

Now it seems like he is working in some kind of roguelike-snail dungeon arcade and I'm so hyped by this! As a person that enjoys games, and knows a little about how hard are they to make, I think of Locomalito as a great source of inspiration! So many thanks for all the fun! #FridayRevelation

New #FridayRevelation! It's already monday, I know, but. Holiday special, I give you Locomalito!

New friday, new #FridayRevelation Adam Curtis' documentaries. That's it, that's the revelation!
Thanks to Kano for introduce me to this. They are all great. And you have a nice fun bingo for playing while watching.

Sigo con mi tradición de compartir los viernes docus, películas, libros etc con los que aprendí algo interesante. Esta semana, #FridayRevelation tiene dos caras: la A, el docu "Indie Game". La B, el documental español "Cave Mode", una gran lección y muy amena sobre novatos GameDev indie en España.

Fourth #FridayRevelation!
This week, Indie Game. This documentary was my first contact with indie videogame documentaries. I love to get to know the small studios and how they work. Here we have three solo developers with a hit under the sleeve. Go to next post for the Dark Side 1/2

Third Friday post, the first long-format. And I don't even talk specifically about the wonderful Walter Ruttman's movie.

Another Friday, another
#FridayRevelation
When I was in college, studying History, I couldn't choose a single period to focus my attention, I found all periods interesting. But when I studied the German Weimar Republic, I finally found my home in the timeline. Come to visit 1927 Berlin!

New friday, new
#FridayRevelation
video! So, do you like romanesque architecture? Do you like the Renaissance? If so, you probably love the Byzantine Empire without knowing it! John Romer explains
/ ¿Románico, renacentista? Quieres decir Bizantino.
John Romer lo explica.
