Acerca de esta edición

Siete años de una publicación periódica e independiente tal vez sea un tiempo necesario y a la vez suficiente como para constatar o poner en práctica un conjunto de ideas, deseos y aventuras. YSE cierra un ciclo, pero no se cierra (ni en el sentido literal ni en el metafórico).

Nuevas situaciones, nuevas circunstancias y sobre todo nuevos anhelos e intereses consumen y demandan el pozo siempre limitado del tiempo y la energía. Hemos crecido en estos siete años sin apoyo publicitario de ningún tipo, nunca existió un soporte financiero ni módicas formas de apuntalamiento que le diesen alguna lógica de supervivencia a la publicación. Todo ha sido a pulmón, en un ejercicio respiratorio por momentos doloroso, aunque el oxígeno (intangible, claro) siempre, al final, consiguió estar ahí. Y sin embargo corren tiempos de asfixia generalizada, y a veces -aunque ejerzan su seducción la nostalgia o la obstinación- se hace necesario poner el buque en dique seco, calafatear y afrontar otros rumbos. Seguiremos, pero seremos otros.

Gracias a todos los que nos vienen leyendo y mirando. Gracias a todos
los que participan y participaron.
Ya daremos noticias.

Iepa.

About this issue

Seven years of a periodical and independent publication is perhaps both necessary and long enough a time to verify or put into practice a set of ideas, wishes and adventures. YSE closes a cycle, but doesn't close (neither literally nor metaforically).

New situations, new circumstances and, most of all, new wishes and interests consume and demand the always limited well of time and energy. We have grown in this seven years without any kind of sponsoring, there was never a financial support or even modest underpinnings to give any logic of survival to the publication. Everything has been done on breathhold, in a respiratory exercise, at times painful, even if oxygen (of course intangible) always managed to be there in the end. Nevertheless these are times of generalised asphyxia and sometimes - even though nostalgia or stubbornness exert their seduction- it is necessary to dry dock the boat, caulk and face different courses. We will go on, but we will be other.

Thanks to all those who have been reading and watching. Thanks to all those who take and took part.
You'll be hearing from us.

Iepa.

Si comunicar significa poner en común, ¿es posible, hoy día, en pleno auge de la era de la comunicación, poner algo en común?
¿O sólo quedan monólogos?

(sh)

If communicating means to put something in common, is it possible, today, at the height of the era of communication, putting something in common? Or all we got are monologues?

(fr)

Si communiquer signifie partager quelque chose, est-il possible, aujourd'hui, à l'ère de la communication, de partager quoi que ce soit ? Ou bien tout ce que nous partageons n'est-il que monologues ?

Preocupados con actualizarnos constantemente, con obtener el último modelo de quién sabe qué, con lucir la insignia del consumidor moderno, informado, a la última.

Minados por ubicuos mensajes que insisten en recordarnos que siempre hay algo mejor, que lo que tenemos nunca es ni será suficiente, es y está destinado a ser antiguo, de la temporada pasada o lo que es lo mismo pero no igual, de hace siglos, que en consumo equivale a una era.

¿Y si decidimos no estarlo?

¿Y si decidiéramos no correr en pos del futuro hecho gadget, vehículo todoterreno o camisa a la moda?

Entonces es cuando descubrimos que estamos obligados. Que lo que parecía una opción no es más que una forma de enmascarar que los propios objetos nos fuerzan a desecharlos.

-Tienen voz propia y ejercen sus mandatos.

El sistema operativo ya no es compatible con el software que necesitamos instalar, el portátil ya no tiene la entrada que requiere el nuevo periférico, la mesa de Ikea no resistió la mudanza, la suela del zapato de la primavera pasada ya se ha despegado.

Todo ello concienzudamente programado para mantener un sistema que nos mantiene a su vez a nosotros. Para mantener nuestro trabajo, para mantener el trabajo de los que mantienen nuestro trabajo, para no romper un ciclo de compra-eliminación-compra más allá del cual produce -hmm… vaya término- pánico mirar.

Y mientras nos preparamos, una vez más, para actualizarnos, llenamos el contenedor de la basura con recursos malgastados. Desechamos trabajo de otros: trabajo diseñado para ser desechado. Objetos con fecha de expiración programada que cumplen sin errores ni retrasos su única función: asegurarse de que recordemos efectuar la siguiente compra.

¿Es ésta la única forma de alimentar el ciclo?

¿Hasta cuándo podrán los recursos soportar una carrera sin meta/s?

¿Esperaremos hasta entonces para imaginar alternativas?

Concerned with being constantly updated, with obtaining the latest model of who knows what, with wearing the badge of the modern, informed, up-to-date consumer.

Undermined by ubiquitous messages that insist in reminding us that there’s always something better, that what we have is nor will never be enough, is bound to be old, of the last season or, which is the same but not, of centuries ago, which in consumption is equal to an era.

What if we decide not to be?

What if we decide not to run in pursuit of a future made into a gadget, a SUV or a trendy shirt?

It’s then that we realise we’re forced. That was seemed an option is nothing but a way to mask the fact that the objects themselves force us to discard them.

-They have a voice of their own and take command.

The operating system is no longer compatible with the software we need to install, the laptop does not have the required input for the new peripheral, the Ikea table didn’t resist the move, the soles of the shoes we bought last spring have come apart.

All of this thoroughly programmed to support a system that in turn supports us. To keep a job, to support the job of those who support ours, to not break a cycle of purchase-disposal-purchase beyond which we panic just to look.

And while we once again prepare to update, we fill up the trash bin with wasted resources. We dispose of the work of others: work designed to be thrown away. Objects with a programmed expiration date, which serve their only function without errors or delays: to make sure we remember to make our next purchase.

Is this the only way to keep the cycle?

How long will resources be able to support a race without (a) finishing line(s)?

Will we wait until then to imagine alternatives?
