Sterling on “urban futurity”

Published March 24, 2007 in Surreal Estate.

Sci-fi writer Bruce Sterling on future cities. Here he surveys contemporary Belgrade, but demonstrates how the present future composts the past. What he writes is very similar to what I see in Rome. Life goes on, cities mutate, people adapt and change their environments.

Multimedia Curriculum

Now available, Antonio's health and media literacy CDROM curriculum for youth of color, Merchants of Culture. This valuable resource contains dozens of video and print examples of how advertisers market harmful substances such as alcohol and tobacco to various niche audiences, including Native Americans, Latinos, African Americans, Asians, GLBT and Women. This is an excellent primer for introducing the subject of cultural marketing to high school and middle school students. This is also a great product for health professionals and councilors working in the area of prevention.
