Summaries of conference
Rome, 11.02.2009, Gabi Library
The conference is articulated around a set of fundamental: the cyclical nature as a "breadcrumb trail" in the labyrinth of the world today, plagued by fragmentation and accumulation of data and stimuli without significant force. These cycles are a form of temporal structuring of experience, based on the relationship between opposite-complementary functions, such as the astronomical model of the Moon-Sun relationship seems to suggest antiquity.
The cyclic form defines a context in which they implement changes through stages in which the end point is the beginning of a new route that has the same basic pattern, but it is never pure repetition because the contents of the cycle in itself - the states, events and experiences within the life-changing - never repeats the same terms, because each cycle is related to other cycles, in an interconnection can come to understand the whole cosmos .
The conference, as guided tour, was the starting point of the cyclical experience that all / and we continuously through breathing, posture, movement, physiological functions, namely, living. In the words of the "philosophies of life" - among whose members include Friedrich Nietzsche and Georg Simmel - cyclicity was defined as the life that flows in us, as our "being life," as a "wave" wave of our breath, blood circulatory wave, spiral wave motion of the body around an imaginary axis as we walk, wave in the sea of \u200b\u200bour emotions when our plasma cells live.
existential point of view, the cyclical was defined as the ability to come back, transforming, and go forward without losing what is fundamental, in short, has been proposed as the "relationship between opposites," which is interwoven with the experience of existing as well as "bridge" between the experience and its representation, in a movement of continuous feedback.
In particular, it was stressed that there is "circular", ie, a "linear" that turns on itself, rather, is the set of circularity and linearity, thus, in the symbolic language, is the set of yin and yang, the feminine and masculine is a circular movement winds along an axis, which twists around, which surrounds it. And the recovery, first of all experiential, this model, exemplified wonderfully by the symbol of the Tao - the circle consists of two distinct parts to the center by a sinuous line - was identified as a compass for the current search for meaning in the West.
With this approach, and on the basis of this interesting book by Roberto Ruggeri and Stefano Ciancarelli, "Theatre and the organic laws" (D. Audino, 2005), the Conference reviewed a number of representations of the cycle , from the search of the great Russian director Sergei M. Eisenstein, who defined it as graphically as "serpentine line": "It graphically expresses the law of narrative plot construction. It makes the closest approach to the plastic representation of a psychological content contradictory. It's an entry graphic of this regularity: the passing of each action and the whole course of action in your hand. "(Op.cit., P.41)
After Eisenstein example, the conference Explained the "line of beauty" of the philosopher William Hogarth ("Analysis of Beauty", 1753), the "curve of life" by Thomas A. Cook, a scholar of the form that characterizes the growth process of living and the organic movement ( "The curves of life", 1914), in addition, the applicant to this form of growth in the world plant and animal in the footsteps of D'Archy W. Thompson, one of the foremost experts on morphology ("On Growth and Form", Basic Books, 2001), have been linked representations of geometry and mathematics: the logarithmic spiral, the golden section and the Fibonacci number sequence.
On the "golden ratio" were taken several cues from the homonymous recent successful test of astrophysics Mario Livio (BUR, 2008), from which we report a particularly striking passage: "The golden ratio is a splendid example of that deep sense Wonder which Einstein attributed so much importance. According to Einstein that the mystery is the most amazing experience that we be given live. And 'the fundamental emotion located at the center of true art and true science. "(op. cit., p. 13)
From geometric-mathematical field, the conference developed, then, a further step towards further presence of the" cyclic model " , this time in the field of "chronobiology, the science that studies the periodic fluctuations of biological parameters and functions of living organisms. These periodic fluctuations, these" cycles "are called" biological rhythms "or" rhythms of life. "
In Finally, the conference presented two "bodily practices" based on "cyclic model": the observation of periodic variations related to the menstrual cycle through autovisita gynecological and proprioception (perception feelings of internal body environment) developed by the feminist self-help groups, dedicated to health and female identity, in the '70s, and the psychotherapeutic approach to mediation body called Bioenergetic Analysis, founded by Alexander Lowen (1910 - 2008), a student of Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957), the precursor of psychosomatic.
In conclusion, under the sign of Venus, the goddess of harmonious proportions and connections at all / and the wish was aimed to pursue the harmony and the joy of living. The conference was dedicated to prof. Mario Alberto Cirese, an eminent scholar and teacher of cultural anthropology for many generations of students and university students / e Cagliari and Roma.LG
