Historians of the Recursive Present: From Noble Archives to Urban Socioplastics in the POSTORY Constellation – A living cartography of agents across mnemohistory, art, and epistemic sovereignty –

The constellation of external researchers in the POSTORYα initiative reflects a dynamic epistemic field where historiographical practice merges with cultural sovereignty, bridging disciplines such as philosophy, anthropology, architecture, political theory, and contemporary art through a mnemohistorical lens; Antonio Terrasa, a scholar of early modern nobility and political natures, contributes from CIDEHUS–Évora and engages POSTORY through the recursive question of memory and legitimacy; Clara Ramas, with a rigorous trajectory in Marxist critique, ontology and modern political forms, anchors her contribution in a structural understanding of subjectivity and state logic, both within and beyond her institutional roles at Más Madrid and academia; Concepción Cortés articulates a groundbreaking approach to non-human agency in contemporary art, positioning animals not merely as symbolic figures but as interlocutors and epistemic co-producers in post-60s art ecologies; Anto Lloveras, an architect-curator operating from LAPIEZA Art Series, develops the Socioplastic Console as a recursive cultural machine that metabolises archival, spatial and narrative inputs through a ten-valve sovereign stack, generating epistemic heat and resisting algorithmic flattening; Marc Morell, with a focus on urban class differential, expands Boissevain’s touristic anthropology toward critical analyses of spatial commodification in the Mediterranean, linking housing struggles to financial expropriation; Domingo Centenero revives the ambiguities of Castilian urban politics and Iberian imperial tensions, integrating early modern conflictualities with present questions of sovereignty and autonomy; Adrián Almazán, a philosopher-physicist hybrid, forges ties between ecological transitions, material critique, and techno-social paradigms, placing epistemic resistance at the core of postcapitalist ethics; collectively, these researchers embody POSTORY's hypothesis: that contemporary historical craft is not merely archival but strategically insurgent, operating across media, institutions, and disciplines to produce mnemonic infrastructures fit for contested presents; in this arrangement, POSTORYα becomes more than a research group—it acts as a multi-sited epistemic device, grounding political memory in recursive dialogue with urbanism, art practice and techno-semiotic resistance. –

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ HISTORIADORES - MNEMOHISTORIA Y LOS ARTESANOS DEL PASADO EN LA ERA POSTURÍSTICA ^^^^^^^^^^^^

SERIE DE MICRO ENSAYOS Y CAPAS ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

"El proyecto POSTORY relaciona las nuevas y viejas tecnologías, la identidad personal y colectiva, los comportamientos socio-ecológicos en espacios urbanos en estos tiempos pos-turísticos y sus interacciones con otras disciplinas y nuevos modos de difusión de la investigación. En POSTORY perseguimos extraer conclusiones sobre el análisis del impacto de las nuevas tecnologías en la autopercepción-comportamiento de los habitantes y visitantes de lugares que son turísticos, residenciales y en proceso de gentrificación, tomando Lavapiés como muestra en Madrid, proponiendo nuevas narrativas de mayor impacto social. E.BOTELLA //////

El estudio se plantea en forma de meta-narrativa, donde la estructura, que es lo más relevante, queda en un segundo plano. Los momentos sintetizados se irán tuiteando como forma de sello temporal cada semana. En marzo de 2017 comenzamos el análisis de las muchas y diferentes CAPAS DE CAPITALES SIMBÓLICOS que forman el entramado del presente afectivo en el centro de Madrid. Se juntan historia, nostalgia, poder, comunicación, apego, miradas, cruces, solapes, urbanidad, inmigración, clases sociales, razas, líneas temporales, des-usos, turismo masivo, gentrificación, negocio, escaparate, ocio, verde urbano, nuevas obras, re-usos, abandonos, soledades, edades, memoria digital, memoria física, tectónicas, discursos y -sobre todo- silencios.
