THE SCHIZO-SHAMANIC ALLIANCES

[This module is supported by L’Ecole Universitaire de recherche ArTeC]
SUMMARY OF THE THEORETICAL MODULE.

  

DESCRIPTION OF THE SEMINAR

Facing the ecological urgency we find ourselves in, it has become an imperative to potentiate spaces of conversion-conversation, where other ways of ‘doing worlds’ come into view. As departure point, through a study of concepts of the Anthropologist Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, such as multinaturalism, Amerindian perspectivism, inter-specie alliances and sympoesis of philosopher Donna Haraway, opening spaces for what we think as ‘the return to Earth by the Modern subject’.
Through a talking back of the chaman to the ‘Schizophren’, our intention is to knit a conversation between the chaman and his unexpected partner -contemporary art. This in order to find ‘breaches’ in Western dialectics of rationality, but more-so to direct our attention to the re-imagining of what A. Escobar calls other possible “pluriverses”.
Departing from a decolonial perspective, we will dwell on Art and Philosophy texts in order to open spaces of what Edouard Glissant calls creolisation and Relation, in which the encounter of different ways of knowing produce the unpredictable. This discussion will further seek to interrogate the contrast between the understanding of the animate and inanimate in regards to Indigenous technologies and the Western conception of the artificial.
Indeed, could we not trace the way that forests communicate with each other, as processes of ’signaling’? How to think art from a space where art does not exist?
