- Art as Gestation of the Public SpheraPublication . Abreu, José Guilherme; Caeiro, MárioObserving our time implies the recognition of a disturbing symptom: a society driven by techno-scientific utopianism, seeking to obliterate and forget the forms of vulnerability and finitude. Dealing with a condition that is denied and relegated to the margins calls us to open new dimensions of inclusiveness, if we recognize the demand to integrate the new and the different. Art has always been able to make space for offering new ways of seeing – from our common exposure to the fragility of being. Theater of Apparitions is a research project informed by contemporary artistic creation. It aims to show some configurations of this common space fertilized by the creation of place for the totally other as an apparition, i.e., as a destabilizing event and insurrection – a term to which Georges Didi-Huberman gave renewed meaning – creator of the human being. The aim will be to create and recreate the conditions for welcoming the manifestations of wonderment – recovering the broad meaning of Greek thaumazein – and its relational intensities, reaching light for the cartographies emerging from the ordinary, in a series of multidisciplinary cultural initiatives capable of showing this moving horizon where uncertainty and trust, discovery and recognition are mixed. It will be a matter of showing the constellation of the encounter between now and the past, one that brought out the critical energy of the dialectical images about which Walter Benjamin spoke. Invoking the being and knowledge of the different agents of the imagination, we will seek to undertake innovative readings of the multiple bridges and connections that can be established between the arts, sciences and the humanities. For that it is necessary to make wonderment the first – and most original – relational technology.
