      <description>Wu Ming 1, The London Speech, Institute of Germanic and Romance Studies, University of London, UK, October 2nd, 2008. The &quot;Uncanny Valley&quot; of the new Italian literature and the necessity to imagine the future, beyond the emotional blocks that obstruct our view. The epic tale of two books, the obscure iMedium/i by Giuseppe Genna and the triumphant iGomorrah/i by Roberto Saviano. Unidentified Narrative Objects. &quot;Dead zones&quot; in the sea. Pain Asymbolia, the syndrome that makes you laugh when you feel pain. Italy as the laboratory of our extinction, Italy as the place where the rain falls harder. Going beyond our condition of being &quot;post&quot;-something, toward new foundational moments. We're going to have to be the parents. Dedicated to the late David Foster Wallace.</description>

      <description>On March 31st, 2008, Wu Ming 1 spoke at Middlebury College, Vermont. He explained such concepts as 'New Italian Epic' and 'Unidentified Narrative Objects', and used the term 'allegorithm' - which he borrowed from videogame theory - to crack the code of the latest Italian genre/literary epic fiction. Fifty minutes of uncompromising, visionary narrative. A few days later, WM1 used this very speech as a starting point, did some shifting of focus and gave another talk, this time at the MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts. The two talks are brothers, they resemble each other but they are not identical twins.</description>
