Wu Ming
Wu Ming (extended name: Wu Ming Foundation) is a pseudonym for a group of Italian authors formed in 2000 from a subset of the Luther Blissett community in Bologna.
Four of the group earlier wrote the novel ''Q'' (first edition 1999). Unlike the open name "Luther Blissett", "Wu Ming" stands for a defined group of writers active in literature and popular culture. The band authored several novels, some of which have been translated in many countries.
Their books are seen as part of a body of literary works (the "nebula", as it is frequently called in Italy) described as the New Italian Epic, a phrase that was proposed by Wu Ming.〔("We're Going To Have To Be The Parents": A Reflection on the New Italian Epic" ), opening talk at the conference ''The Italian Perspective on Metahistorical Fiction: The New Italian Epic'', IGRS, University of London, 2 October 2008. Text and audio.〕
==Meaning of the name==
In Chinese, "''wu ming''" can mean "anonymous" () or, with a different tone on the first syllable, "five people" (), the pun being part of the reason the collective adopted the name.〔("Wu Ming: Who we are and what we do" ), biographical page on Wu Ming's website〕 The name is meant both as a tribute to dissidents ("Wu Ming" is a common byline among Chinese citizens demanding democracy and freedom of speech) and as a rejection of the celebrity-making machine which turns the author into a star. "Wu Ming" is also a reference to the third sentence in the ''Daodejing'': "Nameless is Heaven's and Earth's origin" ().
