• II Noche en Blanco de Ciencias Políticas En Murcia 25 de abril

La Universidad de Murcia presenta la 2ª edición de “La Noche en Blanco”, acontecimiento cultural pionero en Ciencias Políticas

El evento se celebrará a lo largo de la madrugada del martes 25 de abril en la Facultad de Derecho, con más de una treintena de ponentes.

El próximo martes 25 de abril, entre las 21.30 de la noche y las 6.00 horas de la madrugada del miércoles, se celebrará en el Edificio Rector Sabater (Ronda de Levante, 10) de la Facultad de Derecho la “II NOCHE EN BLANCO".

Durante varias horas permanecerán abiertas cinco aulas permanentes para debatir y disfrutar cómo los modernos medios de comunicación de masas describen y presentan el mundo de la política, desde las series de televisión política (Juego de Tronos; Yes, Minister; The Visitor; House of Cards; Black Mirror, etc.) el cine o la literatura (de Patria, de Fernando Aramburu -reciente Premio de la Crítica- a la lucha contra el totalitarismo en la obra de Vasili Grossman o el feminismo político en la obra de Amélie Nothomb) hasta el uso y el impacto de la música en el activismo político, con el debate sobre  la influencia de la ópera en el nacionalismo pasando por el punk, la música independiente, el hip hop y el uso de la música en la comunicación política de campañas electorales. Sin olvidar, las interpretaciones políticas de la animación y los videojuegos modernos.

Un nutrido grupo de catedráticos y profesores disertará sobre estas influencias cruzadas entre las distintas artes, los modernos medios de comunicación de masas y la ciencia política. Simultáneamente, también se celebrarán dos conciertos, de las bandas SICK BRAINS y ÁNGEL CALVO. La asistencia será libre para el público en general.

Esta actividad tuvo su preludio con una fiesta de presentación el pasado día 20 de abril en la Sala Musik, en la que participaron algunas bandas de la región como KESSELS, EL NUEVO ACELERADOR o LA MANIOBRA DE Q.
