📖✔️ "The System of Objects"
(🇫🇷 "Le Système des objets")
Author: Jean Baudrillard
Country: France 🇫🇷
Publication date: 1968
Genres: nonfiction, essay, sociology, philosophy ...
Denoscription on Goodreads:
"The System of Objects is a tour de force — a theoretical letter-in-a-bottle tossed into the ocean in 1968, which brilliantly communicates to us all the live ideas of the day.
Pressing Freudian and Saussurean categories into the service of a basically Marxist perspective, The System of Objects offers a cultural critique of the commodity in consumer society. Baudrillard classifies the everyday objects of the "new technical order" as functional, nonfunctional and metafunctional. He contrasts "modern" and "traditional" functional objects, subjecting home furnishing and interior design to a celebrated semiological analysis. His treatment of nonfunctional or "marginal" objects focuses on antiques and the psychology of collecting, while the metafunctional category extends to the useless, the aberrant and even the "schizofunctional." Finally, Baudrillard deals at length with the implications of credit and advertising for the commodification of everyday life.
The System of Objects is a tour de force of the materialist semiotics of the early Baudrillard, who emerges in retrospect as something of a lightning rod for all the live ideas of the day: Bataille's political economy of "expenditure" and Mauss's theory of the gift; Reisman's lonely crowd and the "technological society" of Jacques Ellul; the structuralism of Roland Barthes in The System of Fashion; Henri Lefebvre's work on the social construction of space; and last, but not least, Guy Debord's situationist critique of the spectacle."

🎵💿 Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
Released: May 17, 2013
Label: Columbia
Genres: electronic, disco, funk, soft rock, progressive pop ...
Denoscription on Apple Music:
"There is an early Daft Punk track named "Teachers" that, effectively, served as a roll call for the French duoʼs influences: Paul Johnson, DJ Funk, DJ Sneak. Within the context of 1997ʼs Homework, "Teachers" presented the group as bright kids ready to absorb the lessons of those who came before them. But it also marked Daft Punk as a group with a strong, dynamic relationship to the past whose music served an almost dialogic function: They werenʼt just expressing themselves, they were talking to their inspirations - a
conversation that spanned countries, decades, styles and technological revolutions. So while the live-band-driven sound of 2013ʼs Random Access Memories was a curveball, it was also a logical next step.
The theatricality that had always been part of their stage show and presentation found its musical outlet ("Giorgio by Moroder", the Paul Williams feature "Touch"), and the softrock panache they started playing with on 2001ʼs Discovery got a fuller, more earnest treatment ("Within", the Julian Casablancas feature "Instant Crush", the I-canʼt-believeitʼs-not-The-Doobie-Brothers moves of "Fragments of Time"). The concept, as much as the album had one, was to suggest that as great as our frictionless digital world may be, there was a sense of adventurousness and connection to the spirit of the ʼ70s that, if not lost, had at least been subdued. "Touch" was "All You Need Is Love" for the alienation of a post-Space Odyssey universe; "Give Life Back to Music" wasnʼt just there to set the scene, it was a command - just think of all the joy music has brought you. "Get Lucky" and "Lose Yourself to Dance" - spotlights both for Pharrell and the pioneering work of Chicʼs Nile Rodgers - recaptured the innocence of early disco and invited their audience to do the same.
There was joy in it, but there was melancholy, too: Here was a world seen through the rear-view, beautiful in part because you couldnʼt quite go back to it. “As we look back at the Earth, itʼs, uh, up at about 11 oʼclock, about, uh, well, maybe 10 or 12 diameters,” the sampled voice of astronaut Eugene Cernan says on "Contact". "I don't know whether that does you any good. But there's somethinʼ out there." This was the Apollo 17 mission, December 1972. It remains the last time humans have been on the moon."

🎵💿 Ocoeur - Light as a Feather
Released: May 28, 2013
Label: n5MD
Genres: IDM, ambient ...
Denoscription on Bandcamp:
"Light as a feather" is the sophomore album from French electronic musician Ocoeur. The man behind Ocoeur (which loosely translates as "to the heart") Franck Zaragoza creates an amalgam of leftfield IDM, downtempo and electro-acoustic musics that effortlessly ebbs and flows between light and dark moods without ever getting to emotionally burdened. While other musicians may find such contrast enough Zaragoza also weaves in youthfully delicate melodies that add a childlike playfulness to his songs. Zaragoza says of the album: "My concept for Light As a Feather was to conjure up memories and feelings from the insouciant dreams of youth, The album should elevate its listeners to externalize their most internal dreams and emotions, where everyone is free to embrace their ambitions".

📖✔️ "Life Is Elsewhere"
(🇨🇿 "Život je jinde" | 🇫🇷 "La vie est ailleurs")
Author: Milan Kundera
Countries: Czechoslovakia 🇨🇿, France 🇫🇷
Publication date: 1973
Genres: fiction, novel, satire, philosophy ...
Denoscription on Goodreads:
"Kundera initially intended to call this novel The Lyrical Age. The lyrical age, according to Kundera, is youth, and this novel, above all, is an epic of adolescence; an ironic epic that tenderly erodes sacrosanct values: childhood, motherhood, revolution, and even poetry. Jaromil is in fact a poet. His mother made him a poet and accompanies him (figuratively) to his love bed, and (literally) to his deathbed. A ridiculous and touching character, horrifying and totally innocent ("innocence with its bloody smile"!), Jaromil is at the same time a true poet. He's no creep, he's Rimbaud. Rimbaud entrapped by the communist revolution, entrapped in a sombre farce."
