International audience ; Interactive documentary is a non-linear digital form of documentary that allows users numerous pathways through multimedia content. This was the original meaning behind the abbreviation i-docs (Aston and Gaudenzi, 2012) and the sense in which I use the term. While in recent years the "i" has expanded to include immersion, my focus remains on interactivity and nonlinearity. The nonlinearity and multimodality of i-docs are being taken forward into experiments with i-docs as an academic method, including my own. In this paper I discuss my use of i-docs to study London"s pop-up culture, focusing on two kinds of "present" that i-docs illuminated. First, I explore how working with i-docs elucidated present moments as they are imagined and experienced in pop-up culture: a phenomenon defined by its celebration of ephemerality and unpredictability. Secondly, I explore how the i-doc foregrounded pop-up culture"s role within the present era; revealing pop-up as implicated in politicized processes of urban change in the post 2008 crash climate. Overall, the paper demonstrates how i-docs can make us attentive to both present moments and present eras as well as, crucially, to the relationships between these two kinds of present.

Un enemigo invisible puso en reposo a gran parte del sistema económico del mundo. Se trató del virus SARS-COV-2, que, para octubre de 2020, cobraba mundialmente ya más de treinta millones de contagiados, más de un millón de muertos y todavía estaba lejos de desaparecer. La pandemia, en sus inicios, generó una concentración temática tan fuerte en los medios de comunicación que todo lo que sucedía por fuera de sus lógicas tenía la posibilidad de pasar rápidamente al olvido o incluso desapercibido. Más allá del desastre humano, la pandemia produjo algo perverso: cálculo político. Y, en sintonía con esta lógica, todo aquello que durante la normalidad cotidiana ponía en jaque a la democracia, en plena pandemia, fue más extremo: una serie de acontecimientos destruía los principios democráticos como consecuencia del estado de emergencia sanitario.

In: Cultural Geographies, Volume 13, Issue 2, p. 305-305
cultural geographies 2006 13: 305-312 reviews in brief The colonial present. By Derek Gregory. Malden, MA: Blackwell. 2004. 367 pp. £16.99 paper. ISBN 1577180909. The colonial present extends and deepens our understanding of contemporary geopolitics in ways that speak to the key concerns of this journal. For Derek Gregory as for Edward Said, to whom the book is dedicated, and whose intellectual legacy runs through its pages - issues of culture and of geography are central to understanding how colonial 'pasts' bleed into contemporary Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine. Drawing upon Said, Gregory details colonialism as a cultural process: 'Culture involves the production, circulation, and legitimation of meanings through representations, practices, and performances that enter fully into the constitution of the world' (p. 8). Since none of us is 'outside' or 'above' culture, we are all in one way or another bound up in ongoing processes of colonization, 'the performance of the colonial present' (p. 10). For me, much of the power of the book is derived from this recognition. While the empirical detail of the The colonial present draws our critical attention to the interconnected geopolitics and geo-economics of violence in Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine, the book also compels us to look critically at ourselves, the ways in which we 'continue to think and to act in ways that are dyed in the colors of colonial power' (p. xv). Gregory shows how geography is implicated in (our) cultural judgements and evaluations that underlie the ongoing exercise of colonial power. Intertwined constructions of difference and distance continue to 'licence the unleashing of exemplary violence' (p. 16) against 'other' people and places. Importantly, Gregory insists that 'imaginative geographies' are 'performances of space' (p. 19). It is in part for this reason that The colonialpresent, unlike many other postcolonial studies, provides a welcome extension of Said's (imaginative) geographies to analysis of 'real' spaces. The main body of the book is a series of chapters which detail the lived, human geographies of Afghanistan, Palestine and Iraq as well as the geopolitical entanglement of these spaces. My chief concern with this important book is the way in which it can be read as mapping this complexity into a (singular) colonial present. While Said's imaginative geographies have been extended brilliantly to analysis of Euro-American colonial power in the Middle East, there are other colonialisms which are perhaps not so clearly centred in Washington, DC. Nonetheless, 7he colonial present is an exemplary performance of critical cultural geographies that can - indeed, surely must - be extended to diverse colonial presents.
