2	Chimeric Mimicry : Reflection and Animality in Merleau-Ponty's Philosophy of Nature Amcoff, Oscar January 2023 (has links) In this paper, I attempt to understand how Merleau-Ponty views the relation between nature and reflection, as well as the meaning behind the terms “human” and “animal” and the relations between them. I approach this by outlining the transition from Merleau-Ponty’s early philosophy (SB, PP) to his late philosophy (N, VI). Roughly understood as the shift from inquiries into the nature of experience to inquiries into the experience of nature. I show that this shift or turn can be understood in terms of a reconsideration of the nature of experience, which opens toward non-human animal reflection; to the simultaneous kinship and estrangement in animal interspecificity. The paper is divided into three parts: In the first part, oriented around Phenomenology of Perception, I outline the grounding of reflection in the co-natural corporeity of perception. In the second part, I present the implications of Merleau-Ponty’s turn to nature through his reading of Schelling. What becomes visible here is his reversal of method following his turn to nature. Essentially, this reversal of method tempts a reconsideration of reflection: reflection is no longer separated from nature, but a fold within nature itself; a dehiscence of the flesh opening a “mirroring reflexive” within nature itself as nature’s self-reflection, exemplified through the sensing-sensible human body. In the third part, the same reversal of method is considered in relation to animality. I contrast Merleau-Ponty’s account of life and animality in his second course on nature against his views in The Structure of Behavior. Consequently, his account of the grounding of reflection in the corporeity of perception is deepened and his ontology of sensing-sensible is further clarified. In the last sections of the third part, I discuss Merleau-Ponty’s account of the human-animal relation, I then briefly discuss his account of painting as a privileged form of ontological expression, and I finally speculate openly about the alterity of other animals and the possibility of animal philosophies. animal-studies human-animal relation merleau-ponty merleau-ponty nature chimera chimerical animal reflection reflection of nature human-animal divide carnologocentrism animal philosophy animal phenomenology phenomenology of nature merleau-ponty and the animal ineinander animal embodiment Philosophy Filosofi
3	Ariadne’s Thread - memory, interconnection and the poetic in contemporary art Fries, Katherine January 2008 (has links) Master of Visual Arts / This Dissertation explores the metaphor of Ariadne’s thread in terms of interconnection, when an element from the everyday is used as a locus linking broader concepts of time and space. Such experiences and associations are reflected in the work of Louise Bourgeois, Eva Hesse, Doris Salcedo, Lucio Fontana, Richard Tuttle, Mona Hatoum, Simone Mangos, Anya Gallaccio and Yoshihiro Suda. In relation to my own work, the metaphor of interconnecting thread allows a sense of freedom and journey of discovery. My studio and related research are closely aligned in developing my understanding of interconnection, through my studio process of making and continuing experiences of looking at and interpreting others artists’ work. contemporary art Ariadne’s thread poetic memory interconnection sculpture painting installation photography Kath Fries drawing The Greek myth of Ariadne’s thread The metaphor of the labyrinth Threads, webs and narratives The Fates of ancient Greece Spiderwoman creation myths Louise Bourgeois Eva Hesse Tracing scars, cracks and ruptures Doris Salcedo Lucio Fontana Richard Tuttle Interwoven Memories Mona Hatoum Simone Mangos Anya Gallaccio Yoshihiro Suda the everyday in contemporary art slumbering artwork Life-support Dancing with Silence Shibboleth Wall whispers Unfurl I wanted to tell you To have and to hold Mirror, Mirror Encroach
