A. D. Smith

    Anthony D. Smith fue una figura fundamental en el estudio interdisciplinario del nacionalismo. Distinguió entre formas 'cívicas' y 'étnicas' de nacionalismo, proponiendo que todas las naciones poseen 'núcleos étnicos' dominantes. Si bien reconoció la modernidad del nacionalismo, Smith enfatizó que las naciones tienen sus orígenes en épocas premodernas. Su obra exploró el papel crucial de la memoria colectiva y el mito en la configuración de la identidad nacional.

      Brainwashing! Computer hacking! International intrigue! Psychedelic drugs! Female secret societies! Fringe science! Chinese beer! Walking corpses! The Goddess of Confusion! All the staples of fun and conspiracy meet, shake hands, and get into fistfights in Axis Mundi Sum, a novel where conspirators of all stripes try to further their own ends and make sense of existence. Would-be journalists, freelance criminals, monomaniacal monarchists, dead Taoist sages, sci-fi speedfreaks, computer code fascists, Discordian potentates, lazy college students, Egyptian gods, and more engage in gunplay, mind control, phone phreaking, sexual coercion, disinformation, and other dirty tricks in order to gain the upper hand over anyone they can— with mixed, but always hilarious, results. In a world where someone is pulling everyone’s strings, and it seems there is no escape from the hidden hand of shadowy powers, the only thing that might set you free is good old-fashioned absurdity, and Axis Mundi Sum is the place to find it.
