I am thrilled to share the news that @GuerrillaMarkt has won the Sharon Stephens Prize. Hopefully the book helps to sound an alarm about the risks posed by marketing to democracy, and to foster nuanced discussions about demobilization and remobilization in Colombia.

"No estamos huyendo de la discusión política", dice Becassino, mentira: huyen. Su campaña es otra: hacen video de @ingrodolfohdez diciendo "sí", otro diciendo "no", y luego, a partir envíos por Facebook y WhatsApp a votantes geoposicionados, envían lo que la persona quieren oír🧵

[Alex Fattal @FattAlx]

@RAKarl @adam_wola Yeah, this has been coming for a while and is only intensifying. When I researched @GuerrillaMarkt, the army was still only testing out different approaches to social media, a bit uncomfortable with all the disclosure involved. Since then social has become a strategic priority..

SUR-REALISMO BGT

[Fernando Posada @fernandoposada_]

La escena en Bogotá a esta hora no podría ser más surreal. Mientras cae un diluvio como pocos otros, el cielo toma un extrañísimo color naranja. Qué momento más extraño e inusual.

Last day of screening! "Limbo" addresses how transitional justice in Colombia is geared toward disseminating carefully framed images. @FattAlx eschews prismatic clarity for hazy projections emanating from his camera obscura.

@SKalyvas I also think of all the journalistic cum PR pieces reporting on the training of the Afghan military. How many articles?
