Penetración de "La Magia de los Sentidos" en el mundo hispano

Aquí una seleccion de enlaces sobre actividades diversas, que llevan por título "La Magia de los Sentidos", o que vemos interesantes:


este anterior pdf muestra aspectos singulares y singularmente lógicos, sobre ciencia, religion y demas...

¿Canto habrá penetrado "el zoo cuantico" en el mundo hispano?



Leo muchas veces una infima parte de lo que comparto. Así hago co lectores a los lectores, y despues, ya me encontraré via google esto o aquello; hoy es menos importante leer exhaustivamente un testo, que descubrir su interes; una vez descubierto su interés, más que suficiente, allá que le das al boton de share...

En ese testo me sorprende que unan magia y percepcion, tal como hace abram en su autobiografía, gratamente, pues, la primera alusion a la sensosfera en lengua hispana, aparte de la de los aviones, la encontré en una tesis educativa en catalá, que google cazó, y donde la unica alusion a la sensosfera, era tan potente, como escueta: "Estamos en la Era de la Sensosfera". Si olfatean a su autor, me lo felicitan...

Wittgensteiniano Radical: Alejandro Tomasini Bassols

http://www.filosoficas.unam.mx/~tomasini/home.html

El interés mayor de Alejandro Tomasini Bassols lo han constituido sobre todo las filosofías de Bertrand Russell y de Ludwig Wittgenstein. De tesis sobre Russell tiene el récord mundial con tres, como se lo hizo saber Kenneth Blackwell por carta. Algo interesante es su transición gradual (y al parecer definitiva) de un russellianismo fuerte a un wittegensteinianismo radical. Sin duda alguna, parte de sus objetivos filosóficos es realizar en español análisis gramaticales (cuyos paradigmas están desde luego en las obras del segundo Wittgenstein), al modo como algunos destacados filósofos wittgensteinianos (e.g., Norman Malcolm y Morris Lazerowitz) han mostrado que se pueden realizar. Su filosofía de la religión es un claro ejemplo de ello. Para Alejandro Tomasini Bassols, empero, la investigación filosófica genuina tiene que venir acompañada de dos actividades complementarias: la docencia, por una parte, y la difusión y la crítica de ideas, por la otra. Los cursos son para él sencillamente imprescindibles. Por otra parte, la filosofía también debe, en su opinión, ser de utilidad para otros, de manera que se vuelve una obligación para quien la practica seriamente rebasar el estrecho ámbito de la academia y utilizar los beneficios que de la filosofía se extraen para debatir en público cuestiones de interés general.

Empathy and Human Experience

Empathy and Human Experience

Abstract

Empathy, in the most general sense, is the basic affective capacity by which we comprehend another person’s experience; accordingly, it underlies all of the particular feelings and emotions we have for others. In this lecture I examine the human experience of empathy from the perspectives of cognitive science, phenomenological philosophy, and Buddhist contemplative psychology. I argue that human experience depends (formatively and constitutively) on the dynamic coupling of self and other in empathy, and that both phenomenology and contemplative psychology disclose a relational intersubjectivity prior to the reified constructs of “self” and “other.” Finally, I suggest that for the dialogue between science and contemplative experience to move forward, cognitive science needs to grow beyond its traditional antipathy to first-person experience by incorporating first-person methods directly into its empirical research.

Evan Thompson is Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy and a member of the Center for Vision Research at York University in Toronto. He received his B.A. in Asian Studies from Amherst College (1983), and his M.A. (1985) and Ph.D. (1990) in Philosophy from the University of Toronto. He is the author of numerous articles in cognitive science and the philosophy of mind, and has written two published books, Colour Vision: A Study in Cognitive Science and the Philosophy of Perception (Routledge Press, 1995), and (with Francisco Varela and Eleanor Rosch) The Embodied Mind: Cognitive Science and Human Experience (MIT Press, 1991). This book explored the relationship between cognitive science and Buddhist meditative psychology, and was one of the first works to put forward the “embodied/enactive” perspective in cognitive science. Currently, Evan Thompson is finishing a new book, co-authored with the late Francisco Varela, called Why the Mind Isn’t in the Head (Harvard University Press, forthcoming). The theme of this book is that the individual human mind is immanent in the living body, the natural environment, and the interpersonal social world, rather than being limited to brain processes inside the head. The book advances this view by using material drawn from a wide variety of sources—biology, psychology, and neuroscience; the “analytic” philosophies of mind and science; phenomenological psychology and philosophy; and the contemplative or “wisdom tradition” of Buddhist psychology and philosophy. Its aim is to demonstrate how the contemporary sciences of mind and life can be brought into harmony with studies of human experience as it is lived and verbally articulated in the first person.

BIODIVERSIDAD | Proporcionalmente es el animal más ruidoso de la Tierra

El insecto que canta 'serenatas' con el pene

En el juego de la seducción no hay tácticas infalibles pero sí inverosímiles. Humanos y animales agudizan el ingenio, con el fin de conquistar al objeto de deseo. El diminuto insecto de agua dulce 'Micronecta scholtzi' apuesta por una ruidosa y llamativa técnica. Para atraer a la hembra y como parte del proceso de cortejo, el bicho canta. Pero no se trata de un canto cualquiera: es tan ruidoso que puede alcanzar los 99,2 decibelios, algo parecido a estar sentado en primera fila mientras un grupo de músicos toca en una orquesta. Sin embargo, lo verdaderamente curioso es que su pene se convierte en el instrumento para emitir la melodía.

'Micronecta scholtzi' no supera los dos milímetros, pero emite este ruidoso canto frotando el pene contra su abdomen, que tan sólo mide 50 micrómetros. No cabe duda de que es una de las técnicas de seducción más impresionantes. El hallazgo, desvelado por científicos europeos, fue publicado en la revista 'PLoS ONE'. Para grabarlo, utilizaron micrófonos submarinos. La media se situó en 78,9 decibelios, similar al ruido de un tren de mercancías.

Canto reproductivo

El canto forma parte del ritual reproductivo. Según explica Jerome Sueur, uno de los investigadores, "los machos compiten por las hembras. Intentan emitir la canción más ruidosa pasando por encima de la de sus rivales".

James Windmill, un ingeniero de la Universidad de Strathclyde que también participó en el estudio, confesó que "estaban muy sorprendidos" ya que al inicio, pensaban que el sonido procedía de un insecto más grande. Windmill reveló que el canto de estos ingeniosos bichos no nos ensordece porque viven bajo el agua y el 99% del sonido se pierde al atravesar la frontera entre el agua y el aire. Aún así, el ser humano es capaz de oírlo.

Aunque la lógica conduce a pensar que los animales grandes son los más ruidosos, los pequeños están dispuestos a desmentirlo, al menos musicalmente. El grillo, la mantis religiosa y este insecto compiten contra gigantes como la ballena azul o el elefante. Pero si tenemos en cuenta el tamaño de sus cuerpos, el ganador es el protagonista de esta historia. Windmill lo confirma: "Si se compara el sonido al tamaño de los cuerpos, 'Micronecta scholtzi' es el animal más ruidoso de la Tierra".

re Vitalising Classrooms thru: ¡Music!

Teachers using hip-hop

Like many teens, music was a big part of my life growing up. I spent countless hours listening to the radio and talking about new hit songs with friends. I even saved my allowance to buy cassette singles (yeah, remember those?) of my favorite songs whenever I could.

As a child of the 90s, hip hop was – and still is – the love of my life. I got into it late, but A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul and The Roots quickly won me over. Hip hop (like most music genres) was more than just a genre – it was a cultural phenomenon. Yet, despite its ubiquity, it never had a place in the classroom; at least not while I was growing up.

But in the last decade or so that's changed. According to The New York Times, a new program in New York City is using that urban culture to get high school students excited and ready for their Regents Exam in American history. The program, called Fresh Prep, is run by the Urban Arts Partnership and uses beats and rhymes to help students memorize history facts in preparation for the New York Regents Exams, which students must pass in order to graduate from high school.

Sam Sellers (a.k.a. Rabbi Darkside) is a Fresh Prep instructor who has come up with 24 rap songs on global history and American history. His students can download these songs and, along with a 250-page workbook, review important history dates, events and concepts.

When I read the article, I couldn't help but wonder, how did this not catch on earlier? As a teen, my brain soaked up musical lyrics like a sponge, (in fact, I still remember most of the lyrics from the songs I grew up with) so something like this would have had a big impact on me. In high school, and even in college, history courses were challenging. And I don't mean challenging the same way calculus was, but challenging because the material was so dry and boring; it was hard to stay engaged. There was so much to remember and material was always presented in the worst way – reading old school textbooks that could never put things into context and then regurgitating what I read in the form of a report. I can't even imagine how much more boring that kind of learning must be for today's media obsessed generation.

To be clear, hip hop as a teaching tool has been around for a few years now, particularly in underserved urban areas. But the take away message here is that learning, at any age, should be fun and interactive.

Thanks to technology, the world and the way we interact with and exchange information is rapidly changing, which makes keeping things fresh and relevant a challenge within education. But programs like Fresh Prep have the right idea. If we want students to really get it, educators need to be in tune with their students and continually come up with new ways to keep old concepts interesting and relevant.

Ray Monk on Biography & Wittgenstein: Life Without Theory

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFlzWBvmjUo

Recording of Prof. Ray Monk's lecture, "Life Without Theory," delivered on Nov. 20, 2007 at the Philosophy Department at the University of Bergen. From the introduction to his article on biography:

"This article discusses recent attempts to provide the genre of biography with a philosophical, theoretical foundation and attempts to show that such efforts are fundamentally misguided. Biography is, I argue, a profoundly nontheoretical activity, and this, precisely, makes it philosophically interesting. Instead of looking to philosophy to provide a theory of biography, we should, I maintain, look to biography to provide a crucially important example and model of what Ludwig Wittgenstein called "the kind of understanding that consists in seeing connections." This kind of understanding stands in sharp contrast to the theoretical understanding provided by science and is, Wittgenstein maintained, what we as philosophers are, or should be, striving for." Prof. Monk is the author of "Ludwig Wittgenstein: Duty of Genius," available on Amazon.com here:

Five Dangerous Pareidolias

Five Planiland Monoculture Systems.
Five Unidimensional Tensors.
Five Botlenecks in Society's Evolution.
Five Symplectic and Synergetic Tools.
Five Hyper Stenoic Ways of Life (and death).

Five Subprograms Within 1.0 Kapitalism-Kernel.

Planiland in 1.0 Industrial Classroom.
Planiland in 1.0 Texts.
Planiland in 1.0 Transport Systems.
Planiland in Intensive (other) Animal Explotation.
Planiland in Intensive Greenhouse Plant Explotation.

Languages, among these "different" pareidolias, are interchangeable, just because plants, animals, humans, are all exploted within this pareidolic network; at the same level that prison guards live all their lives inprisonned, the teachers, and the "explotators", are all the more exploted; this explotation is so well programmed within our bodies (foucault), because the basic phisical conditios of reproduction of this 1.0 pareidolic system; the lie in patriarcal systems is to believe, by the side of the explotator, that she or he is free, and the exploted people is actualy exploted; but when you analyse quietly this falacy comes down at the speed of life-and-light; think in private property; flowing life tend to public and sharing property rights; the mental reality of the explotator is built by the continuous attention to that expansion of their ego which are actualy their properties; common people, or comunitary people, sharing a property, or no having at all any property, have their minds free to think in whatever they want to think; explotator, are, thus, firstly autoexplotated, by their own circulary and close thoughts, about how to maintain, all this ego expansion we call private property;

explotated people working within a explotatory system, when going out from their work, they can freely think and speak about any other thing;

patriarcal programming including texts as a magical and new tool to obtain submission by the exploted;

test would be spelled with "S", as Garcia calvo Agustin do; test, testis, testaferro, testamento, testify, all are basic tools derived in the perfectioning process of patriarcal system reproduction;

you travel out of big, and dehumanised metroplolis and you would find many shops and cafes, and restaurants, where no TITLE is marking by any test, that there is a restaurant there;

recently, I see a restaurant, test-labelled: "restaurante familial"; and i thought this interesting contradiction: how if a restaurant is familial, how it would need a label, writen above the door, saying "restaurante familial"?

so, all that pareidolia systems have worked, more intensively, and more programming people, mainly in the metropolis;

in that way, after to have pareidolised, a minimum mass of people in the metropolis, the system would be more easily reproduced, beyond metropolis, in the territories where the ressources would be continuously exploded, with the lie of promising them the same quality of life of the first world...
