Full textWith the arrival of the Spanish, the Incas were confronted with a radically different image of the body and the cosmos. The clash between the Spanish and Inca orders was experienced by the Incas as a disordering of the human and cosmic bodies. While the Spanish Conquest destroyed the Inca empire and imposed a new culture on its former inhabitants, however, many of the principles which ordered and interrelated the body and the cosmos in Inca cosmology have survived in the Andes to the present day.

He, Jianjun 1970. "The body in the politics and society of early China." Thesis, University of Oregon, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/1794/6206.
Full textThis dissertation discusses the political conceptualization and social practice of the body in early China through a close examination of the texts and documents produced from the Spring and Autumn period to the end of the Eastern Han dynasty. It demonstrates that, in addition to medical concerns, the body in early China was transformed into a political concept and a ritual subject that served indispensably in state construction and social control. It is divided into the following three chapters. Chapter one, "Physiognomy and the Body," examines the relationship between physiognomy and the body. Following a roughly chronological order, this chapter shows how physiognomy, a divination technique, read the body for political purposes. In addition to this, the chapter also discusses philosophical reactions to this political interpretation of the body by looking at criticisms in the works of Mengzi, Xunzi, Dong Zhongshu, Wang Chong and Wang Fu. Chapter two, "Politics and the Body," discusses the political theory and practice of the body in early China. It begins with a description of the metaphorical meanings of the body in early political discourse, focusing on their role in defining the competitive relationship between the ruler and the minister, as well as their significance in defending the political and ethical legitimacy of the state. The use of the body as an actual political tool forms the second consideration of this chapter. I demonstrate how the political symbolism of the body weighted significantly in Han China's foreign policy making. Chapter three, "Ritual and the Body," deals with the issue of ritualization of the body in early China. The chapter is organized in accordance with two issues concerning the body in early ritual theories: ritualizing the body and embodying the ritual. I show how ritual trains the body to be acceptable to the society and how the ritualized body facilitates the maintenance of a hierarchical social order.

Full textO ser humano como corpo é o tema central deste trabalho. A fim de se ter uma visão geral do assunto se busca, na primeira parte, saber, de maneira sucinta, qual o tratamento do corpo nas reflexões antropológicas de diversas correntes filosóficas e teológicas. A segunda parte tem como finalidade fornecer subsídios para a definição do ser humano como corpo. Para tanto se busca compreender o conceito soma em Paulo, mas não fazendo uma exegese dos seus textos, e sim tomando por base vários intérpretes do seu pensamento. A terceira parte divide-se em duas fases: inicia-se com uma análise do conceito ser humano no pensamento do biólogo Humberto Maturana. Tal procedimento busca aprofundar e ampliar a definição de que o ser humano é corpo. A seguir, estabelece-se um diálogo entre os aportes de Paulo e de Maturana a propor um esboço desse ser humano que é corpo. A quarta parte busca avaliar dois discursos bioéticos e procura delinear algumas implicações dessa definição antropológica para a bioética.
The human being as body is the central topic of this dissertation. In order to get an overview of the topic, the first part briefly discusses how the human body is dealt with in the anthropological reflections made by some philosophical and theological perspectives. The second part describes possible contributions for the definition of the human being as body. For that purpose it tries to understand the concept of soma in Pauls thinking, not by offering a direct exegesis of Pauls texts, but by refering to suggestions made by some of his interpreters. The third part undertakes an analysis of the concept of human being proposed by the biologist, Humberto Maturana. This procedure aims at elaborating on and broadening his definition that the human being is body. Then it establishes a dialogue between the views of Paul and Maturana with the purpose of delineating a concept of the human being as body. The fourth part advances some conclusions by evaluating two bioethical discourses and by sketching some implications of this anthropological definition for bioethics.

Full textDuring the course of this research, I studied a wide range of medical resources and psychoanalytical literature, much of which employed visual illustration and documentation. For example, I have drawn inspiration from Jean-Martin Charcot’s photographic documents of female hysterics whom he treated as patients at the French hospital of La Salpêtrière in the late 19th century; in particular the figure of his most famous patient, known as Augustine. My research also involved studio-based investigation, such as experimentations with the performance of my own body in video format, and the contextual study of artistic and critical texts relating to contemporary media art.
The aim of this research is to demonstrate the ways in which my video performances split the body, creating an Other within one body that can be compared with the hysterical body of a patient, like Augustine, performing for her doctor. In this condition, I perform as the subject and the object of the gaze at the same time. My self-portrait is split in this way: it creates a body double, which I misrecognise as myself. But in doing so, I am both the director and the performer of the image. This is the double bind that my video work puts me into.

The present research results from a desire to seek other forms of relationship with the other, to see and feel it. In this sense, the emphasis of our object of study falls on the writings of the contemporary philosopher, Gilles Deleuze, in his readings in Espinosa and we search for possible connections with Jose Gil and Kuniichi Uno. It is, therefore, to think of human complexity in what it possesses of more particular: the potency of its body. Dance is proposed as a means of metamorphosis of the body and is consequently not the only form. To think about some flows and between flows that guide and permeate the Deleuze’s thought is like a kind of walk between transform and the conductor would be the body. In dance there are affectations capable of promoting the increase of power, strengthening our conservation as being. The more fit the body is, the greater will be your known its relation to the world. Thus, we seek through this dissertation to think about the relation of philosophy to dance, to literature, to theater. We understand that life is that of the body and what happens in it resounds in thought
A presente pesquisa resulta de um anseio de buscar outras formas de relação com o outro, de vê-lo e senti-lo. Neste sentido, a ênfase de nosso objeto de estudo recai sobre os escritos do filósofo contemporâneo, Gilles Deleuze, nas suas leituras em Espinosa e buscamos possíveis conexões com José Gil e Kuniichi Uno. Trata-se, portanto, de pensar a complexidade humana naquilo que ela possui de mais particular: a potência de seu corpo. A dança é proposta como um meio de metamorfose do corpo, não sendo, portanto, a única forma. Pensar em alguns fluxos e entre fluxos que norteiam e permeiam o pensamento deleuziano é como uma espécie de passeio entre devires e o condutor seria o corpo. Na dança ocorre afetações capazes de promover o aumento da potência fortalecendo nossa conservação como ser. Quanto mais apto estiver o corpo maior será seu poder de compreender sua relação com o mundo. Desta forma, procuramos por meio desta dissertação pensar sobre a relação da filosofia com a dança, com a literatura, com o teatro. Compreendemos que a vida é aquela do corpo e o que se passa nele ressoa em pensamento

The presente study composes the research line “Childhood and adolescence panorama: a phenomenological study about psychoeducational practices in institutions”, coordinated by Professor Dr. Luciana Szymanski, of the research group on educational practices and psychoeducational attention in the family, school and community (ECOFAM). Conducted in a municipal elementar school on the outskirts of São Paulo, this research aimed to understand the corporeity and its unfoldings in the school context. This experience of research and psychoeducational intervention was an opportunity to think about the relation between University and School, allowing to perceive the ample possibilities for enrichment and improvement for both institutions, also enable to understand the phenomenological approach as facilitator of a questioning method and with a critical view when faced with society challenges. This study consists in a qualitative, participatory and interventional research, based on the phenomenological approach, especially the Merleau Ponty thought. It’s was carried out an investigation about the body with the school community based on three aspects: 1. Identify the ways of manifestation and expression of corporeity in daily life, spaces and school activities. 2. Understand the relation between educators and the issue of corporeity. 3. Promote an area of intervention-reflection with the educators about the corporeity and its possibilities in the pedagogigcal practice. The procedures used in the research were the participant observation and the reflective encounter, proposed by Szymanski, H. The analysis was made from the notion of Constelation, proposed by Szymanski, H. and from the merleaupontian comprehension about the corporeity and other aspects related to the theme. In the dialogue with the educators there were criticisms to the brazilian educational structure, on how to mantain segmented and controlling practices about the body and the students knowledge. The body shows up as a part of the cartesian dichotomy, devalued and subjugated to rationalized contente and practices. On the other hand, the extracurricular activities reveal the corporal character and the appreciation of experience that can be provided by school education, although extensive discussion is still needed about these aspects in the school environment, in view of transformations that understand education and learning as experiences of human existence that can only be realized through corporeity
O presente estudo compõe a linha de pesquisa “Panoramas da infância e adolescência: um estudo fenomenológico sobre práticas psicoeducativas em instituições”, coordenado pela Profa. Dra. Luciana Szymanski, do grupo de pesquisa em Práticas Educativas e Atenção Psicoeducacional na Família, Escola e Comunidade (ECOFAM). Realizada em uma escola municipal de ensino fundamental na periferia da cidade de São Paulo, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender a corporeidade e seus desdobramentos no contexto escolar. Esta experiência de pesquisa e intervenção psicoeducativa foi uma oportunidade para refletir sobre a relação entre Universidade e escola, permitindo perceber as amplas possibilidades de enriquecimento e aprimoramento a ambas instituições, além de permitir compreender a abordagem fenomenológica como facilitadora de um método questionador e com olhar crítico frente aos desafios da sociedade. Este estudo consiste em uma pesquisa qualitativa de caráter participante e interventivo, pautada na abordagem fenomenológica, em especial no pensamento de Merleau-Ponty. Buscou-se desenvolver uma investigação sobre o corpo junto à comunidade escolar, a partir de três aspectos: 1. Identificar os modos de manifestação e expressão da corporeidade no cotidiano, espaços e atividades escolares. 2. Compreender a relação de educadores com a questão da corporeidade. 3. Promover um espaço de intervenção-reflexão com as educadoras acerca da corporeidade e suas possibilidades nas práticas pedagógicas. Os procedimentos utilizados na pesquisa foram a observação participante e o encontro reflexivo, proposto por Szymanski, H. A análise se fez a partir da noção de Constelações, proposta por Szymanski, H, e da compreensão merleaupontiana sobre a corporeidade e demais aspectos relacionados ao tema. No diálogo com as educadoras houve críticas à estrutura educacional brasileira, no sentido de manter práticas segmentadas e controladoras sobre o corpo e o conhecimento dos alunos. O corpo apareceu como parte da dicotomia cartesiana, desvalorizado e subjugado a conteúdos e práticas “racionalizadas”. Por outro lado, as atividades extracurriculares revelam o caráter corporal e a valorização da experiência que a educação escolar pode proporcionar, apesar de ainda ser necessária vasta discussão sobre esses aspectos no ambiente escolar, tendo em vista transformações que compreendam a educação e a aprendizagem enquanto experiências da existência humana que só podem realizar-se por meio da corporeidade

Full textThis is a theoretical study on the concept of vulnerability aiming at practical contributions. Vulnerability is taken here as a continuum, in order to highlight its relations with the diverse senses of reality that emerges from the processes of human maturing. Based on this, approach human relationships and care are examined within a to and fro analysis, contextualizing agency and social responses in their historical and cultural roots. The project\'s goal is to discuss the role of creativity in care practices in the horizon of the continuum of vulnerability and, by doing so, to demonstrate the importance of creativity as a primary manifestation of the human being, as long as creation express how he/she feel and mean his/her \"being in the world\". Based on a philosophical (phenomenology and hermeneutics) and psichoanalitical (Winnicott) knowledge, it is argued that care is the holding for creative expression. Then, the current concept of health care is revisited and a script for the organization of clinical summaries for the clinical meetings is suggested. This script seeks to aprehend personal features by means of life experiences. It has an inherent logic, or productivity (concerned about the temporality of human existence), that maintains an actitude of listening which can stimulate creative responses to the challenges brought about by the diverse needs configured on the vulnerability continuum. The script is therefore thought to facilitate health professionals to approach health care needs by new ways. It is a call to meet the other as an \"existent\" by means of an intuitive process, immediately applied and potentially open to revisions on the quality of our work and interaction with patients, others professionals, institutions, communities and societies.

The importance of human body has gradually increased throughout History, especially Western Philosophy, until it reached the understanding of being a body itself or being one s body. Likewise, in Physical Education, time has brought it more relevance. From that point of view, man, as a strong presence in social expectations, acts towards his Body in such a way that shows the significant influence of the social context in the process of its structuring. Kant, in his doctrine for education, treats discipline as an important characteristic in constituting that same man and moreover describes the importance that society and man himself have in structuring each other, that is, man and society in a relationship which is necessary for that. One can observe that the kind of care in the sense of paying attention to something that the man can have with his corporeal body and the body that is in the world, loses some space by means of the social context that involves human beings and refers more specifically to a body that is in the world, similarly to an object. Thus, the study described here has the purpose of investigating the principles of Kantian discipline regarding the body in contemporaneity. The study was carried out according to one of the research lines of the Graduate Program in Education at the University of Caxias do Sul, which is History and Philosophy of Education. Upon bibliographic research, the Body in Western History is analyzed according to four thinkers, which are Plato, Saint Augustine, Descartes, and Merleau-Ponty, and also according to history of Physical Education. Later, the study approaches the Kantian educational doctrine, especially in what relates to discipline, with the purpose of structuring its contributions as for the way man acts with his body. And, finally, Physical Education is considered in the field of Education, considering discipline and the body, and the body itself in society today, in its condition of being more exposed. At the end, concepts from Kant s ideas are crossed with the current, aiming to point out contributions from Kant. The study has been divided in five parts: the introduction, followed by a chapter that deals with the Body in Western Philosophy and in Physical Education; then another chapter that focuses on Kant s educational doctrine and a chapter centered on the Body in today s society, and ends with some final remarks. It was possible to observe that the social context influences man s behavior significantly and that, many times, such influence is not very healthy. The autonomy described by Kant is highlighted, motivated by the confusion in determination by man s actions. Would man s attitudes be autonomous or impelled by society? From that point of view, Kantian discipline emerges as a possibility of reeducating young people, with the purpose of keeping man away from bad habits, self-indulgence, and guiding him towards a path where self-determination and physical health are part of.

Carnal transcendence and sexual difference -- An amorous exchange -- Angels playing with placentas -- Fluid subjects -- Poetics -- Oneiric spaces -- Conclusion.
Carnal transcendence imagines a world in which the carnal has the weight and value of transcendence, and the divine is as liveable and readily evoked as the carnal. Carnal transcendence offers a means of thinking through difference in the work of Luce Irigaray, who asks: "why and how long ago did God withdraw from carnal love?" (1991a, p 16). This thesis argues that Irigaray enables her readers to explore the relationship between carnality, transcendence and difference, but resists elaborating it in her work. Carnal transcendence as difference risks remaining an exercise in rhetoric, rather than the transformative and creative philosophy that Irigaray imagines. -- Irigaray's resistance to the carnal is evident in her arguments for sexual difference, which offers our "salvation" if we think it through, and heralds "a new age of thought, art, poetry, and language: the creation of a new poetics" (1993a, p 5). Note the language of transcendence used here. When considered in the light of carnal transcendence, sexual difference imagines a differently sexed culture. This thesis argues that Irigaray's writing is contradictory on this point: it articulates the plurality of women's sexuality, but emphatically excludes theories of sex and gender that emphasise multiplicity. This thesis challenges these limitations by exploring the possibilities of the "other" couple in Irigaray's writing-mother and daughter - for thinking through carnal transcendence as difference. -- This thesis not only explicates a theoretical model for carnal transcendence as difference; it also attempts to put into practice a poetics - a playful rewriting of theory. This celebrates the carnality of Irigaray's writing - evident in her complex imagery of the two lips, mucus, the placenta and angels-and enables an exploration of the philosophical space of the "new poetics" that Irigaray is attempting to engender.

This research has as central focus the study about the situation of the body aspect and the human movement in the Brazilian educational system. To develop this thematic had been used three big pillars of different knowledge areas, but articulated between them; they are: Philosophy, Physical Education and Education. From a philosophical vision, they had been analyzed many subjects about the body and the situation of this one with the educational structures that exists, using especially the actual condition of Physical Education at School as support to accomplish this analysis. Having as an initial base the dualism and the rationalism represents the structural base of the educational scope, from this point, happen an increase in the reduction of the importance of the body and its movement in the educational structures was made reflections and discussions during the work development. Described for bibliographical and documentary survey, with description, exploration and analysis of official documents of the Brazilian education and endorsed by the authors of the reference from the related areas, this research presents a development of ideas that converge as much for the overcoming dualist human being vision, (that divides in opposing and not transposable polar regions body and soul, body and mind), as for a system that praises the full human development.(AU)
Esta pesquisa tem como foco central o estudo sobre a situação do aspecto corporal e do movimento humano no sistema educacional brasileiro. Para desenvolver esta temática foram utilizados três grandes pilares de diferentes áreas do conhecimento, mas articuladas entre si; elas são: Filosofia, Educação Física e Educação. Partindo de uma concepção filosófica, foram analisados diversos temas em relação ao corpo e à situação deste em relação às estruturas educacionais existentes, utilizando especialmente a condição atual da Educação Física escolar como suporte para realizar esta análise. Tendo como hipótese inicial que o dualismo e o racionalismo representam a base estruturante do âmbito educacional e que, a partir disto, ocorre uma crescente diminuição na importância do corpo e do seu movimento nas estruturas educacionais, foram tecidas reflexões e discussões subseqüentes durante o desenvolvimento do trabalho. Delineada por levantamento bibliográfico e documental, contendo descrição, exploração e análises dos documentos oficiais da Educação brasileira e respaldada por autores de referência das áreas citadas, a pesquisa apresenta um desenvolvimento de idéias que convergem tanto para a superação da visão dualista humana (que divide em pólos opostos e intransponíveis corpo e alma, corpo e mente), como para um sistema que preconiza o pleno desenvolvimento humano.(AU)

Mestrado Acadêmico em Ciências do Cuidado em Saúde
Esta pesquisa de natureza fenomenológica, pautada no referencial teórico filosófico e metodológico de Martin Heidegger teve como objetivo compreender o significado que a mulher enfermeira atribui ao cuidado com o seu corpo. O cenário escolhido foi um hospital público da cidade de Nova Friburgo localizado na região serrana do estado do Rio de Janeiro, a etapa de campo aconteceu de julho a setembro de 2012, mediante aprovação do Comitê de Ética sob o número 57051. A entrevista fenomenológica ocorreu com 16 enfermeiras, na faixa etária de 25 a 45 anos. A análise compreensiva, primeiro momento metódico revelou que a mulher-enfermeira é um ser lançado no mundo de rotinas de sua ocupação se projetando para outras possibilidades enquanto ser, profissional, mãe, mulher. Cuida do corpo executando cuidados diários com pele, unha, cabelo, prática de atividade física e dieta alimentar balanceada. Refere medidas de prevenção contra agravos de saúde através da realização de consultas médicas e exames periódicos. Sua preocupação se revela no aparente, ou seja, no corpo físico. Entende que precisa estar bem ao cuidar dos outros, a profissão requer um bom estado de saúde que favoreça a execução das tarefas, também para acompanhar a saúde e o crescimento dos filhos. Confessa que deveria se cuidar mais, mas o tempo é restrito. Busca o cuidado pensando no futuro, por uma questão de conforto e para se sentir bem. Na hermenêutica, segundo momento, o ser-mulher-enfermeira-no-cuidado-com-o-corpo se apresenta como um ser-aí lançado no mundo da ocupação do trabalho, da casa, do filho, do marido, que cuida no cotidiano do corpo aparente, que é factual. Revela através do seu falatório um cuidado impessoal, porém voltado as suas necessidades como medidas de prevenção a agravos e/ou quando a doença já está instalada. Ressalta nesta falação, suas possibilidades enquanto ser e sua preocupação com o futuro – sua temporalidade – pois ao se cuidar, almeja um futuro melhor, tanto para ela, quanto para a sua família, especialmente os filhos. Transparece ainda em sua existencialidade, um movimento para o medo de não cuidar do corpo como deveria e gostaria. Considerações finais: Compreende-se que o significado que a mulher-enfermeira atribui ao cuidado com o seu corpo merece uma ampla discussão uma vez que ao estar atuante na profissão, a mulher vivencia múltiplas possibilidades que influem no cuidado com o seu corpo. Esta compreensão pode aprimorar a atenção à saúde da mulher trabalhadora, favorecendo a promoção da saúde com vistas à melhor qualidade de vida das mulheres-enfermeiras.
This phenomenological research, based on the theoretical and methodological philosophy of Martin Heidegger aimed to understand the meaning that women nurse assigned to care with your body. The scenario chosen was a public hospital in the city of Nova Friburgo located in the mountainous region of the state of Rio de Janeiro, the field phase took place from July to September 2012, with the approval of the Ethics Committee under number 57051. The phenomenological interview occurred with 16 nurses, aged 25 to 45 years. The comprehensive analysis, methodical initially revealed that the woman is a nurse-be released worldwide routines occupation is designing for other possibilities while being professional, mother, wife. Take care of the body running daily care skin, nail, hair, physical activity and balanced diet. Refers measures to prevent health hazards by conducting medical consultations and examinations. His concern is revealed in the apparent, ie the physical body. Understands what needs to be well taking care of others, the profession requires a good health condition that favors the execution of tasks, also to monitor the health and growth of children. Confesses that should be more careful, but time is limited. Searching careful thinking about the future, for the sake of comfort and feel good. In hermeneutics, second moment, the nursebe- wife-in-care-with-the-body presents itself as a being-there launched worldwide job occupation, the house, the son, the husband, who looks after the daily Body apparent, that is factual. Reveals through its careful impersonal chatter, but returned to their needs as measures to prevent the injuries and / or when the disease is already installed. Emphasized in this talk, and its possibilities as being concerned about the future - its time - because when you care for, long for a better future, both for her and for her family, especially the children. Still shines in its existentialism, a movement to fear for not taking care of the body as it should and would. Final Thoughts: It is understood that the meaning that women nurse assigned to care with your body deserves a full discussion as to be active in the profession, women face multiple possibilities to influence the care of your body. This understanding can improve health care for the working woman, favoring the promotion of health in order to offer better quality of life for women-nurses.

Full textAround the fundamental question of presence, I draw on interdisciplinary literature whose contributions from the fields of anthropology and social geography, theatre and cinema theory, performance studies, psychoanalysis and sociology are articulated from the perspective of phenomenology and information and communication sciences. Our way of inhabiting the world has changed: online-being is the new fundamental existential condition. Our space is a performative space, because it is produced through our actions, our gestures, eminently reflexive photographic gestures, which create our digital mise en scène. This space has become the space which links together all of our active and social spaces. Here, I single out live and recorded performativity, the performativity of do-ing, the performativity of algorithms and of questions, of emojis and of all that which “fait visage”. After a socio-semiotic analysis of digital gestures, screens, the graphics of social networks and presence protocols, I describe presence as always being a mediation effect. This mediation is at once disjunction and fiction, beacause it works as a difference and as the fiction of hypermediality. Presence exists where there is play (jeu) as in the french expression “il y a du jeu”, refering to space, and in its fictional sense of play-acting. As with Sartre's café waiter, we play act in order to create reality and consciousness through fiction

Full textThe main objective of this dissertation is to analyze the emergence and uses of the concept of vulnerability, based upon two principal vectors: the social-economic vector and the critical vector. This idea reveals a specific mode of intervention of the social in the actual world, through a rationality that expresses itself in what we have called the government of the vulnerable. In order to describe this form of government we will explore four elements that provide it with its consistence: first, we will investigate the epistemological-political frame that makes it possible, which is given by a rationality based upon risk and securitization policies that have been developed throughout modernity, outlining ways of life which are determined by data, calculus and evaluation, thus turning vulnerability into one of most important biopolitical markers we have nowadays. Second, we will analyze the transformation that takes place at a social level and a subjective level, through which the costs of development are transferred to individuals, privatizing the social and producing the processes of individual responsibility, which result in credit and debt being the most relevant control devices. Third, once the government of the vulnerable has been consolidated, we see the apparition of a critical dimension which makes the concept of vulnerability its own, hence taking on a completely different position in relation to the former by putting it in contact with the body and the wound. From there, it interrogates and criticizes the forms of effectuation of contemporary violence and, at the same time, presents a politization that comes from the recognition of vulnerability. Finally, this work explores the possibilities that come from the politization of vulnerability, considering its relationship with resistance. This exploration is done in a critical manner. The approach towards the government of the vulnerable demands that we develop an analysis which thinks about the tension and the overlap that take place between the biopolitical dimension of vulnerability and its critical dimension. It is important to note that this analysis results highly problematic. Insisting on this tension will lead us to de-cipher what is classified as a vulnerable life, making us question the mode by which certain lives are produced as vulnerable; this matter will inevitably make us think about the ontological perspective that defines the vulnerable being, where we see the unfolding of a series of technologies that historically configure this ontology. In this sense, the study of the government of the vulnerable is done by means of a double movement: one that explores the past in order to identify its emergence, its government and its denial, and another movement, which, taking the past into account, brings it to the present as a policy of vulnerability-resistance.

Full textNowadays, the name of Béla Balázs is above all else associated with the onsets of the theorization of the Cinema. The present work is the fruit of a will to translate his writings in a perspective that is wider than the one of Cinema. The analysis of Balázs's thoughts on movie-making in a particular context, in terms of history of ideas, enables one to identify the prism through which he tackled this art altogether. In a search for a cultural renewal that lead him to Communism, he always thought out of Cinema as of what it meant for mankind. Shaped by Georg Simmel's observation of a cultural crisis, and Henri Bergson's thoughts about perception, Balázs supported the idea that cinema set the individuals free from the negative consequences of modernization which could hinder their personal fulfillment. In a world that is more and more mechanic and meaningless, films stand as a chance to reclaim a technique and set a new culture in motion. The Man detaches himself from telling and resumes through showing. Cinema displays a world that is anthropomorphic and three major techniques help it achieve its cultural and artistic potential: the close-up, framing, and editing. And their effect is not limited to the projection room, since they mark the debut of a change in perception, and make the Man learn to see again. This study is primarily based on Balázs's works on cinema such as The Visible Man (1924), The Spirit of Film (1930) and Theory of Art (1948), but also takes into account his literary works, in which issues tied to culture and perception are central

Full textThis thesis does not explore what body is, but what a body can become. It explores the body as event-in-making throughout the concepts such as Body without Organs (Antonin Artaud, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari), bodying (Erin Manning), body-in-making (Erin Manning). What all of those concepts have in common is the same state - a state of becoming. Here, body becomes, and as such - it is a verb, an activity, a force. This thesis does not only explore the body as a force of becoming, but it also explores the becoming of that force - at the molecular, experiential and relational level. As Manning says, a body is always more-than one. Here, we are trying to approach the physical, experiential and relational becomings of a body in movement. That which moves the body from the state of being into the state of becoming is movement. This thesis is trying to show how movement never stops. We always move, therefore, there is a continuity of becoming. A body is never just a form, but a force-form. Movement is that which opens the body toward its becoming of force(s). A moving body is not a form of expression, but a force-field of expressivity. Movement makes the body, therefore, the body itself is a movement. We are not dancing with the body, we are dancing the body itself. The body is a score, a body-score, of its own becoming

Objetiva-se apresentar os fundamentos que tornam possível pensar a questão da corporeidade [Leiblichkeit] a partir dos escritos de Marx. É importante observar que a questão da corporeidade não fora objeto de sistematização nos postulados marxianos. Não obstante, em Marx há fundamentos que possibilitam versar sobre a questão da corporeidade. De modo geral, pensar a corporeidade a partir dos postulados marxianos é concebê-la como o fundamento da atividade humana sensível que instala o ser humano na sensibilidade concreta. Para alcançar o objetivo estipulado, são apresentadas as conceituações de Marx acerca da atividade objetiva [gegenständliche Tätigkeit], da natureza [Natur] e do processo de trabalho [der Arbeitprozeß].
The objective is to present the fundamental principles that make it possible to study the body [Leiblichkeit] based on Marx's writings. It is important to note that the body was not a systematic study object in the marxian postulates. Nevertheless, there are some principles in Marx that make it possibile to study the body based on his philosophy. To achieve the objective, we present Marx's concepts of objective activity [gegenständliche Tätigkeit], nature [Natur] and the labour process [der Arbeitprozeß].

Full textMy research into the aesthetics and poïetics of corporeality within Bioart is situated at the interface of three bordered universes: images of the body, art and science. Bioart recapitulates a series of philosophical, esthetical and scientific questions about the limits of the human body and of animal and plant life, opening horizons to unsuspected possibilities, from phantasms to monstrosities, from Cyborgs to men becoming-animal or plantimal. As the ephemeral temporality of these artworks is inscribed in the dialectic of life and death, Bioart also questions our relationship to alterity and alterations - of the human, non-human or supra-human. We are here in a universe of art, which firstly implies an aesthetic approach, posing questions of delight and disgust and calling for sensitivity. We then have to extricate the ideologies and the figures of the body, which in all of their nuances provoke repulsion, fear, fascination or pleasure and stimulate an urge to experiment and to seek knowledge. By its unusual use of advances made in biotechnologies and biomaterials, Bioart facilitates the questioning of body images, as conveyed by the aesthetics and poïetics of the contemporary body, thus helping us understand critically the socioanthropological, ideological, philosophical and artistic contexts from which they emerge. The transdisciplinary and complementary method of my research takes into account the peculiarity of body awareness in itself, which is constantly expanding - as a rhizome -and so escaping ail disciplinary allocation and conceptual closure
Bour, Salomé. "Le transhumanisme et la quête d'immortalité : analyse philosophique et éthique." Thesis, Tours, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018TOUR2020.
Full textThe thesis presents an analysis of transhumanism and its issues, starting from an examination of its philosophy, extropianism, and its project. The transhumanist mission is to elevate the human condition by giving the human species the power to live indefinitely thanks to the progress of technoscience, but also to improve cognitively to become smarter and happier. The aim of the thesis is to uncover the philosophical foundations of transhumanist rhetoric to understand its efficiency and to analyse the ethical issues that arise from it in relation to our relationship with death, existence and time. It will also be necessary to consider the way the founders of transhumanism have positioned themselves on these issues to insist on the importance of a thorough knowledge of the principles and values of transhumanism and its complexity to propose a critique of its project
