Poetry and Reason departs from the question of cinema as industrial technology and as artistic language. The prosthetic relationship of industrial technologies to the body, unlike the contingency of traditional art technologies on the body, problematizes the question of cinema as art. Cinema's capacity to render thought-like environments allows its trans-mediumatic abstraction. This extends its questioning beyond the technologically cinematic, into the pre-technological moving image that animates perception, thought and dream. In scanning the field that makes cinema possible, this work questions the possibilities cinema opens as a way of knowing and assembling realities. The interpolation of language, thought and embodiment reveals a view of language as mediumatic, and of cinema as a linguistic medium that can simulate a cognitively faithful dream (the original disembodied moving image) as sensory experience. Thus cinema re-enacts a pre-technological environment while advancing the language of technology embedded in the cinematic machine. The libidinal ways solar and chthonic energies, the symbolic and the physical, interpolate in mytho-poetic thought, art and science culminate in the ways these energies unfold in the experience of cinema and illuminate human hybridization, from ancient anthropo-bestiality to the techno-human condition. Poetry and reason, as the two ways of language, outline an epistemology that foregrounds the primacy of poetry in symbolic being. This work aims to resolve tensions between the symbolic and the material both theoretically and methodologically, proposing an integration of rational and poetic (artistic) techniques. The methodological intervention brings divergent approaches into tensional dynamic that sculpts a mobile structure, necessarily open-ended and imperfect. Theoretically, it delves into the movements of poetry and reason as ways to meaning, investigating their destination in cinema. The vocabulary of reason prompts cinema to advance a technological intent to colonize reality while poetic language destabilizes that movement. Reason and poetry as the two ways of language are thus actualized in the ways cinematic language interpolates mental and sensory experience.

Unique Ability

Photography’s unique ability to render visible what is ordinarily invisible lends it to scientific observation and artistic expression alike. Jean-Martin Charcot and his colleagues exploit this capacity of the photograph in their documentation of hysteria—work that is located at a blurry intersection between art and science. The photographs taken at the Salpêtrière women’s asylum in Paris, France, for their original publication in La Nouvelle Iconographie de la Salpêtrière (1881), came to my attention through Georges Didi-Huberman’s book, the Invention of Hysteria (2003). They depict, through a clinical eye, patients that are mid-gesture, in the throes of hysterical fits. The hysteria documents exemplify an instance where the power of the performed gesture is focalized by doctors in the production of identities, and where the power of the photographic apparatus is deployed in the production of gestures. I intend to show how the body and its gestures might have been understood in the field of neuropsychiatry at the time these photographs were exposed, and then I will look at the means by which machines produce gestures with some degree of autonomy. Given a new understanding of the independent functions of imaging technologies, it will be possible to argue that there are some manners in which the technologies of representation actually participate in the production of bodies.

ResumoInspirado na filosofia de Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari, o texto tem como objetivo problematizar um entre art(e)ciência a partir de mobilizações de um biólogo-artista com experimentações performáticas do corpo na e com a floresta, aglutinados pelas seguintes questões: como a arte e a biologia se cruzam com/na floresta? Que vazamentos escorrem desse entre art(e)ciência? As materialidades imagéticas da pesquisa foram produzidas na caverna/cachoeira do km 30, localizada no Ramal Novo Xingu, a 30 km da cidade de Altamira-PA e, também, na caverna da Planaltina, 3 km da cidade de Brasil Novo-PA. Finalmente, serão apresentadas produções estéticas do biólogo e seus encontros que utilizaram dos elementos encontrados naqueles locais como força inspiradora para fazer acontecer outros modos sentir a vida no entre biologia e arte, possibilitando biólogos, artistas, professores, alunos e pesquisadores outros encontros vitais.AbstractInspired by Giles Deleuze and Féliz Guattari's philosophy, the text aims to problematize a between Art and Science by the starting point of a Biologist-artist's mobilizations with performatic experiments of the body in and with the forest, agglutinated by the following questions: how does Art and Science cross with/in the forest? What leaks drip from this between art and Biology? The visual material of this research were produced in the cave/waterfall of Km 30, placed in Ramal Novo Xingu, 30 km away from the city of Altamira-PA and also in the Planaltina's cave, 3 km away from the city of Brasil Novo-PA. Finally, aesthetic productions of the Biologist and his encounters will be presented, which use elements found in such places as an inspiring force to make other ways of feeling life in the between of Biology and Art happen, making possible for Biologists, artists, teachers, students and researchers and other vital encounters.

And Behavior

Combining years as an artist in solitary wilderness sojourns with biomedical and neuroscientific investigation concerning mind/body patterning, the author has blended art and science to reveal existing relationships between form in nature, form in human physiology and behavior, and the forms that are universally present in all alphabets. Her understanding that the artist brings abstraction into form, while the scientist brings form into abstraction, coupled with her experience in diverse world cultures, has prompted her to contemplate the hardwired wisdom of the body as the repository of intrinsic knowledge leading toward health and behavior benefiting the greater good.

Abstract Comprehensive accounts of resource-rational attempts to maximise utility shouldn't ignore the demands of constructing utility representations. This can be onerous when, as in humans, there are many rewarding modalities. Another thing best not ignored is the processing demands of making functional activity out of the many degrees of freedom of a body. The target article is almost silent on both.

The simplicity of the developing nervous system of oligochaetes makes of it an excellent model for the study of the relationships between glia and neurons. In the present communication we describe the relationships between glia and neurons in the early periods of post-embryonic development in some species of oligochaetes.Tubifex tubifex (Mull. ) and Octolasium complanatum (Dugès) specimens starting from 0. 3 mm of body length were collected from laboratory cultures divided into three groups each group fixed separately by one of the following methods: (a) 4% glutaraldehyde and 1% acrolein fixation followed by osmium tetroxide, (b) TAPO technique, (c) ruthenium red method.Our observations concern the early period of the postembryonic development of the nervous system in oligochaetes. During this period neurons occupy fixed positions in the body the only observable change being the increase in volume of their perikaryons. Perikaryons of glial cells were located at some distance from neurons. Long cytoplasmic processes of glial cells tended to approach the neurons. The superimposed contours of glial cell processes designed from electron micrographs, taken at the same magnification, typical for five successive growth stages of the nervous system of Octolasium complanatum are shown in Fig. 1. Neuron is designed symbolically to facilitate the understanding of the kinetics of the growth process.
