This edition of Electra is one of the most diverse, in themes and authors of great international recognition. A portfolio of artist and writer Edmund de Waal, also author of the cover of this issue, presents images and texts about his exhibition in Venice during the 2019 Biennial of Art. In addition, an unpublished sketchbook by Architect Siza Vieira, with a visual diary of your trip to Peru. The magazine dossier is about 'Money.' Because, as it is said in his presentation the power of money is everywhere, and everything determines, it is the last shaman we can invoke in this completely secularized world. Thus the philosopher Yves Citton speaks of the volatilization of money; poet and essayist Christophe Hanna links money to writing; sociologist and philosopher Maurizio Lazzarato writes about money, debt and war; the anthropologist José Gabriel Pereira Bastos translates money by means of Anthropology and Psychoanalysis; Ant+¦nio Vieira discusses the essay by Pierre Klossowki A Moeda Viva; the teacher and economist Margarida Abreu writes about the functioning of the monetary and financial system; the philosopher Anselm Jappe asks if the money can lead to madness; in an interview conducted by Ant+¦nio Guerreiro, Nathalie Quintane travels the territory of contemporary art, its market and institutions.
