Countercultural Images and Technological Visions in the Italian Alternative Press Around 1977

Abstract

The contribution provides an overview of the speculations on cybernetics, automation, and politics in the Italian alternative press around 1977, focusing on the Italian alternative press that linked these topics. On the one hand, the relationship with mass media and the notion of ‘general intellect’ of the magazine A/traverso was concretised in the opening of a free radio station, Radio Alice, and in its graphic solutions and texts. On the other hand, the article focuses on Un’Ambigua Utopia, whose editors were interested in science fiction and technological imagery from a political perspective.
