Vincenzo Estremo Podcast on Capitalism and Environmental Deterioration

In a podcast for the Rubriche d'aria series, curated by Juan Pablo Macías and Alessandra Poggianti, Vincenzo Estremo, a media theory lecturer at NABA in Milan and a moving image theorist, explores the interplay between humanity, technology, and the environment. He references Fredric Jameson to emphasize that the Capitalocene encompasses more than just environmental decline due to industrial activities and unrefined human behaviors; it represents a wider issue impacting all forms of paid labor beyond capitalism and value generation. Estremo believes that socio-ecological changes are intrinsically linked to capitalist influences. He co-directs the Cinema and Contemporary Art editorial series (Mimesis International) and serves as editor-in-chief of Droste Effect. His writings have been featured in various Italian and European publications, and he has authored several books, including Teoria del lavoro reputazionale (2020) and Albert Serra, cinema, arte e performance (2018). The podcast can be found on Spreaker and is part of Carico Massimo, a collective established in 2012 at Livorno's former Magazzini Generali.
