Museum Work as Part of the Present – the Past is the Present, the Present is the Past
Lilja and Olavi Sallinen set up the Mobilia Foundation in 1986 to support the operation of the commercially run Vehoniemi Car Museum and the Finnish Museum of Historical Military and Special Vehicles. In 1991, the financing of the Mobilia Foundation was transferred to public organizations when the Finnish Vehicle Administration, Kangasala municipality, the Ministry of Defence, and the Finnish Road Administration (Finnra) joined the foundation and agreed to fund a road traffic museum with a wider scope of operation. At this juncture, the Road Traffic Museum became one of the foundation's museums, joining the two earlier museums.

Desde una perspectiva de análisis que conjuga la teoría política con la historia intelectual, el artículo expone elderrotero de la experiencia gramsciana en Argentina, atendiendo especialmente el modo en que la teoríapolítica de Antonio Gramsci fue recibida e interpretada en la revista «Pasado y Presente», en sus dos etapas(1963-1965 y 1973). Asumida la revista como espacio de intervención política y cultural, el escritoreconstruye cómo en ella influyó el legado teórico gramsciano, con especial énfasis en las reflexiones que susprincipales exponentes, José Aricó y Juan Carlos Portantiero, realizaron del concepto de hegemonía. ; Starting from an analytical perspective combining political theory and intellectual history, the present contribution outlines the Gramscian experience in Latin America, devoting particular attention to the two-stage (1963-65 and 1973) reception and interpretation of Gramscian political theory by the review Pasado y Presente. Taking the review as a space for political and cultural intervention, the essay reconstructs the influence it had on the legacy of Gramscian theory, with special regard to the reflections on the concept of hegemony proposed by the two people, José Aricó and Juan Antonio Portantiero, with whom the review is most associated. ; Fil: Pato, María Cecilia.

The Presents of the Present: Mindfulness, Time and Structures of Feeling
Mindfulness, as the cultivation of ways to become attentive to the present moment, has grown exponentially in some areas of the global north over the past decade or so. As such, it has generated much important debate about its efficacy and the politics it produces, especially in terms of whether and how mindfulness is a response to, or effect of, neoliberalism. Drawing on Berlant's argument that affects are structured and collective but not necessarily determinative of how people feel and act in relation to them, I explore the affective relations between mindfulness and contemporary (neo)liberal culture as a series of relays, modulations, or recalibrations. More specifically, I approach these affective relations through focusing on temporality. I argue that the practice of mindfulness as a deliberate and conscious focus on the present is central to how its value is imagined by those who promote it and experienced by those who practice it. Drawing on interviews with mindfulness practitioners, analysis of mindfulness books, online forums and communities, I centre the significance of the present to an understanding of the recent proliferation of mindfulness. I draw out the affectivity of mindfulness presents and think these 'mindfulness presents' alongside Berlant's identification of the significance of the present to contemporary liberal-capitalism. Situating my argument within broader work that sees time, temporality and affect as central means through which contemporary capitalism is organised and hence should be conceived, I examine how mindfulness is perhaps one way in which contemporary liberal-capitalism is felt and lived with.

La crítica del presente ; THE CRITICISM TO PRESENT
En este texto se hace una brevísima reflexión en torno al quehacer filosófico como labor temporal ceñida al presente, el filosofar en su estructura fundamental ha de ser cuestionado desde lo local en razón a su temporalidad actual. Lo presentado es más que una apuesta, un alto en el camino para examinar las fuentes de la eventualidad y sus estructuras fundamentales. ; In this text it is made a really short reflection about de philosophical duty as a temporal journal join to present. Philosophizing into its fundamental structure has to be inquired from the nearest in reason to its current temporality.

Connecting Present Moments and Present Eras with Interactive Documentary
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.

The colonial present
In: Cultural Geographies, Band 13, Heft 2, S. 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.
