MAGAZINES di Ruth
Jamieson è un manifesto
per la rinascita della
carta stampata. Analizza
oltre cinquanta testate
di magazine indipendenti
suddivisi in nove
categorie: art & culture,
design, travel, men’s &
women’s, food & drink,
sports, life, current affairs
e style (Prestel, 24 × 28 cm,
208 pp., 2015, inglese, 40
euro). prestel.com
Non è proprio vero che la Rete sta uccidendo la carta stampata. Anzi, grazie
internet. Infatti il passaparola online ha
permesso la diffusione e la promozione
di centinaia di magazine indipendenti
e l’offerta discount di porno sul web ha
stimolato la nascita di una sensualità
più sofisticata e ricercata, che viene oggi inseguita dalle riviste glam: ben curate, ben prodotte e ben stampate. Ed ecco
allora che il settore dei magazine erotici torna, forse per reazione, a crescere.
