globalized and highly technologized world. Written from an
interdisciplinary perspective, with contributions including the
fields of philosophy, political science, media studies,
linguistics, and aesthetics, it reflects on the characteristics of
the democratic state and democratic social practices.The book
features contributions on topics such as the status of political
parties, the separation of powers and the rule of law, bureaucracy
and meritocracy, equality, forms of democratic participation and
governance, comparisons between historical and contemporary
democratic practices, individual rights, propaganda, political
engagement, and consent. Further, it discusses how global
information flows and new technologies affect democratic processes,
including topics such as cyber-activism and open-source software as
a means of empowerment to ethnocentric and class-centric
technological design, globalization and media neutrality, and the
mechanization of public administration. Overall, the book
demonstrates how historical, philosophical, technical, and
institutional issues relate to contemporary democracy. It will
appeal to political theorists, social scientists and everybody

Este volumen agrupa tres textos sobre la violencia de F.T.
Marinetti (1876-1944): "Necesidad y belleza de la violencia" (I),
1910; "La necesidad de la violencia,"1910; y Necesidad y belleza de
la violencia (II), 1919. Fascinado por el gesto destructivo de los
libertarios, Marinetti ensalza en estos escritos la fuerza sanadora
de la guerra como principio fundamental del progreso, y teoriza la
idea futurista de violencia saludable, destruccion previa a la
construccion de un mundo nuevo.
