Dorfles
Piero Piero Dorfles belongs to a generation that has grown and has formed before the advent of computers. In some ways it is a dinosaur, although it is certainly not a traditionalist or an opponent of progress. However it looks like the decline in the value of culture, which finds fertile ground in the expansion of new technologies has had an enormous influence on the processes of communication and education, as well as our identity and personal relationships.
Inspired by cinema, television and comics, Piero Dorfles helps us to understand how the contradictions of modernity are likely to impoverish our inner lives and our social role. What suggests the return of the dinosaur - covering from the operation of the institutions of our country - is a perspective in which culture can be an antidote during involution. Because in a rapidly changing environment, only the culture - that is able to plan the future without losing touch with our roots - may help us make informed choices and give meaning and direction to our experience.
Piero Dorfles is a journalist and literary critic. Rai In forty years, he edited several radio and television programs including The millennium bug and the band. Patrizio Roversi has added Marcorè and Blacks in the conduct of the hit television show for a handful of books.
