“…), understood as an increase in the speed of movement of messages, people, and goods, is going to be one of the great conditioning factors of the experience of the subject in modern life. Although it may be difficult for us to accept it, the inexorable fact—beyond all romantic nostalgia—is that “we live in a world that is no longer based so much on geographical extension as on temporal distance—in the space of time—constantly reduced by the capacities (discovered and deployed) of transport, transmission and tele-action” ( Virilio, 2001 , p. 84).…”

The aim of this article is to carry out a sociological-conceptual genealogy of the evolutionist perspective (non-teleological) of approaching social reality. While during the first phases of modernity, a teleological and progressive conception of evolution was imposed, clearly manifested in the proposals of Auguste Comte or Herbert Spencer, in the last decades important bifurcations, processes, and developments have emerged that question the linearity and the finalist character of these positions. We consider that these approaches are closer to the nature of change and social phenomena, so it seems important to us to analyze some of the most outstanding contributions—in the form of sociological genealogy, as we have already mentioned—that have developed this perspective. In order to carry out our task, we have organized four sections: In the first, we make a critique of the sociological evolutionism represented by Comte, Spencer, and Parsons, focusing on the limits of their proposals and the blind spots associated with them. Second, we will analyze the anti-teleological cognitive approaches of Donald and the importance they attach to cultural transmission as a key element for understanding the evolution of both cognition and human societies. In a third moment, we will analyze the coexistence in Weber’s work between the dynamics of ‘disenchantment’ and ‘re-enchantment’ of the world in modern societies, understood as the two sides of the same coin that are in constant dynamic tension and that break with the evolutionary vision that goes from magic through religion to science, or from belief to knowledge. In a fourth moment, we analyze the relevance of approaches focused on what we have called ‘multiple evolutions’ (plural) that collide with each other—the conflicting simultaneity of the non-simultaneous—of their rhythms and directions, inspired by the works of Knöbl, Koselleck, Luhmann, Rosa, Eisenstadt, Abbott, and Zerubavel, which pave the way for the construction of a non-teleological approach to evolution.

We feel the same emotion all over the world because there was a tsunami in certain islands or because there was the collapse of the World Trade Center, it is a considerable power, it is a power of speed and indeed if time is money, speed is power [11].…”

Lamuse is a joint project between artists and Machine Learning academic scholars. It aims at building pictorial compositions in order to provide sources of inspiration and assist painters in their process of creation. It relies on Articial Intelligence, mainly based on various articial neural networks, used for object recognition and style transfer. This article presents how, with minimal eort and without requiring extensive computational power Lamuse can take into account the visual universe of a painter, their artistic references, personal inspiration sources and preferred visual code books to create suggestions of painting subjects the human artist can then use as a source of inspiration for actual creation. Code developed in this project is Open Source and a free-to-use demonstration website is publicly accessible.

Em 10 de setembro de 2018, morria, aos 86 anos, Paul Virilio, vítima de ataque cardíaco, na cidade litorânea de La Rochelle, onde morara desde sua aposentadoria, em 1999, pela École Speciale d’Architecture (ESA) de Paris. A fatalidade e a crescente importância de suas ideias em diversos campos do saber, entre eles o da comunicação, orientam a realização do presente ensaio. Seguindo apontamentos biográficos e marcos conceituais, procura-se rememorar sua obra, sinalizando problemas e hipóteses que, decisivos, nos ajudam a compreender fenômenos contemporâneos. Tal itinerário encontra-se organizado em cinco chaves de leitura: Virilio, filho da guerra total; Pintor das antiformas; Um arquiteto prático da inclinação; O anarcocristão; O crítico da arte tecnológica.
