RESUMO: A poesia brasileira produzida a partir da década de 1990 até os dias atuais caracteriza-se por uma “pluralidade de poéticas possíveis”, para citarmos Haroldo de Campos. Diferentes pesquisas são realizadas no campo da poesia visual, neobarroca, coloquial, minimalista, eletrônica, entre outras linhas criativas, revelando a ausência de uma estéril hegemonia em favor da diversidade, do diálogo criativo com a tradição moderna e a busca da experimentação, numa época em que o espírito utópico que animava as vanguardas históricas entrou em eclipse, após o final da Guerra Fria. Na poesia da “agoridade”, “pós-utópica”, não se tem como meta o planejamento do futuro, mas a criação poética necessária que responda aos desafios do presente. ABSTRACT Brazilian poetry produced from the 1990s to the present day is characterized by a "plurality of possible poetics", to quote Harald de Campos. Different researches are carried out in the field of visual poetry, neo-baroque, colloquial, minimalist, electronic, among other creative lines, revealing the absence of a sterile hegemony in favor of diversity, creative dialogue with modern tradition and the search for experimentation, at a time when the utopian spirit that animated the historical avant-garde swum eclipsed after the end of the Cold War. In the poetry of the here-and-now, "post-utopian", the goal is not the planning of the future, but the necessary poetic creation that responds to the challenges of the present.

The Way

Alvin Toffler’s writings encapsulated many of the tensions of futurism: the way that futurology and futures studies oscillated between forms of utopianism and technocracy with global ambitions, and between new forms of activism, on the one hand, and emerging forms of consultancy and paid advice on the other. Paradoxically, in their desire to create new images of the future capable of providing exits from the status quo of the Cold War world, futurists reinvented the technologies of prediction that they had initially rejected, and put them at the basis of a new activity of futures advice. Consultancy was central to the field of futures studies from its inception. For futurists, consultancy was a form of militancy—a potentially world altering expertise that could bypass politics and also escaped the boring halls of academia.

Future Visions

The book proposes that the Cold War period saw a key debate about the future as singular or plural. Forms of Cold War science depicted the future as a closed sphere defined by delimited probabilities, but were challenged by alternative notions of the future as a potentially open realm with limits set only by human creativity. The Cold War was a struggle for temporality between the two different future visions of the two blocs, each armed with its set of predictive technologies, but these were rivaled, from the 1960s on, by future visions emerging from decolonization and the emergence of a set of alternative world futures. Futures research has reflected and enacted this debate. In so doing, it offers a window to the post-war history of the social sciences and of contemporary political ideologies of liberalism and neoliberalism, Marxism and revisionist Marxism, critical-systems thinking, ecologism, and postcolonialism.

The Cold War

Secretly watching the Russians. Cold War aircraft observation posts on existing buildings During the 1950s a network of aircraft observation post was built in The Netherlands, as a detection/observation system against low-flying hostile aircraft during the Cold War. Preferably, these were placed on highrise buildings. 134 of these 276 observation posts were built on existing buildings, on factories, mills, water towers, monasteries, government buildings and bunkers. Since their decommissioning in 1964-1968, many posts have been demolished. Approximately 37 posts on existing buildings remain, but mostly go unnoticed and many risk demolition in the future. These remaining aircraft observation posts are remarkable relics of our military heritage from the Cold War.

The interdisciplinary field of futures research is now at the heart of policy-making and business strategy, but the serious study of the future has its roots in Cold War strategy, led by Hermann Kahn at the RAND Corporation and the Hudson Institute. The migration of futures research into business was accompanied by a burgeoning countercultural futurism, most vividly embodied in Stewart Brand’s Whole Earth Catalog. The founding of the Global Business Network in 1987 brought together many of the key players from business futurism and the avant-garde wing of futures studies, forging a high-powered consultancy that went on to provide services for multi-national corporations and government agencies. As pressing contemporary issues such as global security and climate change prompt futures researchers to develop scenarios intended to deal with potentially extinction-level catastrophes, can an interrogation of the recent history of the future contribute to the release of a critical engagement with the future that is not beholden to the lockdown of its Cold War legacy?

Changing the Approach to Deterrence in Cyberspace While Protecting Civilians From Cyber Conflict

Cyber Conflict

Many incidents in cyberspace and the response to those incidents by victim states prove that the cyber conflict is a reality. This new conflict is complex and poses serious challenges to national and international security. One way to protect the civilian populace is by deterring potential malicious actors (state and non-state) from exploiting cyberspace in a negative way. Given the changed reality and complexity that gravitates over the cyber conflict classical deterrence that have worked during the Cold War is not promising. The article argues that if the states are about to protect their civilians from the future cyber conflict by deterring potential attacker they need to change the approach to deterrence.
