Forero Angel, A. M., Simeone, L., edited by (2010) Beyond Ethnographic Writing. Rome, Armando
English version ISBN: 978-88-6081-697-9
Italian version ISBN: 978-88-6081-689-4
In 1986 George E. Marcus and James Clifford published Writing Culture, a text that would become a landmark in contemporary anthropology. Twenty-five years later, nine scholars reflect on how the perspectives opened up by its publication have determined the anthropological practice of recent decades providing inspiration for new ideas in the fields of ethnography, cultural anthropology, design and art criticism. The collection of essays begins with a contribution from Massimo Canevacci reflecting on the unexplored potentialities of digital, connective, hybrid media for ethnographic research and writing, and concludes with a conversation between George E. Marcus and Tarek Elhaik, envisioning an anthropology capable of approaching contemporary art and performance. The other eight essays freely move along the boundaries between political anthropology, philosophy of science, phenomenological ethics and anthropology of design, attempting to cross new ethnographic territories and unexplored paths.

Hendrickson, C., Iaconesi, S., Persico, O., Ruberti, F., Simeone L., edited by (2010) REFF. The reinvention of the real through critical practices of remix, mash-up, re-contextualization, reenactment. Rome, Derive Approdi
Foreword by: Bruce Sterling
Italian version ISBN: 978-88-6548-012-0
This book chronicles the intense experience of REFF, the RomaEuropa FakeFactory, told through the contributions and works of the wide network of artists, intellectuals, journalists, teachers, lawyers and activists who participated. The fake competition RomaEuropa FakeFactory was an act of artivism, in favor of free culture and non-proprietary rights for authors. This network confronted the themes of art and hacking, political activism and technology, copyright and intellectual property and extended to access, cultural politics, crowdsouring, open source models, peer-to-peer economic governance and the reinvention of the real.
The REFF experiment is more than its content, designing a new possibility for publishing: the book comes fully integrated with a digital dimension through the use of Augmented Reality in the form of QRCodes and Fiducial Markers. These devices transform the experience of reading, enhancing it with an interactive dimension through the REFF network and global social networks, in a way that is completely uncensored. The software is deposited on paper as hypertext, making it clickable, expandable, commentable and reactive, opening a virtually unlimited space for comparison between authors and readers on issues and debates on the book, dissolving the traditional boundaries that separate them. This book develops a new prototype of infinite potential for the intersection between digital and paper dimensions and, thanks to a special application, is available on the web or via smartphone: it is ubiquitous and crossmedia publishing, a new way to "write on the world".
