This article proposes a reflection about the notion of time and its relation to the media based on the complex thinking paradigm and the transdisciplinary perspective. Departing from reflections about literary and cinematographic narratives, our objective is to examine how the notion of time mediates the concept of comprehension of space/time as well as of the aesthetic perception of the world between order and chaos. We relied on the dialogue between science and narrative and on modern physics for concepts of time, order and chaos. Our conclusions point to three ideas: 1) the constant remembrance of catastrophe is an obsessive intimate theme which presents itself through an artistic and mediatic narrative; 2) the expression of catastrophic obsession partially satisfies the current humanity’s affection for horror and 3) the imaginary of catastrophe traverses time and space, being transdisciplinary.

Abstract The Regime of the Aesthetic As a preliminary, the text deals with the question of what can be understood by a regime of the aesthetic. The aesthetic regime generates patterns of perception that guide people in their behavior and actions. The regime of the aesthetic oscillates between social regression and emancipation. The regression of the individual aesthetic perception of the world and of the self is evident in all areas of social life. Through the mass media, the aesthetic regime has the ability to manipulate people and influence perceptions and judgment. The ability of the self to defend itself against manipulation regresses. The adoption of given perception, explanation and assessment systems makes life easier than having to question contexts. The difficult task is to emancipate oneself from the regressive aesthetic regime. Referred to Rancière, it requires an ›emancipated viewer‹ capable of emancipating itself from the assigned structures of an aesthetic regime. This endeavor represents an infinite task.

Metaphysics, which deals with concepts such as existence, existentialism, space and god in its general content, is a branch of philosophy. It sought answers to questions related to these concepts through methods and perspectives different from science. The reason for all these questions is the effort to define the universe. Metaphysical philosophy has been the search for a solution to helplessness caused by the uncertainties caused throughout the history by life and death. Perspectives developed in parallel with the perception of the period have also shaped the questions and propositions. All these metaphysical approaches do not contain a definition that is independent of time and space. Time and space, as one of the most fundamental problematics of metaphysics, are accepted as the most important elements in placing and making sense of the human into the universe. In this context, metaphysics, which has a transphysical perspective as well as the accepted scientific expansions of real and reality, was mostly visible in the field of art rather than science. The aim of this article is to analyze the role of metaphysical philosophy in the emergence of metaphysical art in the context of the effects of social events, especially the destructions and disappointments caused by the world wars in the 20th century, on the artists and the reflections of the existential inquiries related to this. Furthermore this study includes definitions and processes of metaphysics. The works of Giorgio de Chirico and Carlo Carra have been interpreted in terms of form and content within the scope of metaphysics by considering the concepts of time-space.

This research describes certain after-effects of digitalization shown in the field of social design of reality, transformation of time and space, which no longer rely on traditional physical metrics. The article argues the idea of the end of the Galilean-Cartesian era, when the outside world was defined by intellectually constructed reality of physical theory and partial return to the Aristotelian understanding of the world as a heterogeneous aggregate of places. Also the important consequences of digitalization of social design of reality for system of thoughts and actions evolution are shown. Base vectors of evolution of ideas of space and time are defined in historical and scientific and socio-historical contexts, the direction of intellectual overcoming of negative consequences of geometrization of the ideas of time and space is set.

Abstract Responding to current conditions of statelessness by way of Hannah Arendt's mid- twentieth century reflections, this article proposes the aesthetic encounter as a practice of alternative, counter-national community and belonging. Artistic works exploring the vulnerabilities and the vicissitudes of statelessness by Mirta Kupferminc and Wangechi Mutu inspire a definition of stateless memory as a suspension or hiatus in time and space. Stateless memory, the article suggests, can mobilize the memory of painful pasts in a different time frame than the progression toward preordained futures that often seem inevitable in the space-time of the nation-state and the catastrophes it causes and suffers.

In this article, the interpretation of the ballad „Meșterul Manole” found expression in an archetypal perspective, in correlation with the message of ideas, the legendary-historical significance and the sources of mythical inspiration. A symbol of the aspiration for the perfection of a work of art, the ballad is a masterpiece of universal inspiration, where the motive of human sacrifice in the service of a social, aesthetic, spiritual ideal becomes the essence of our millennial spirituality, is the artistic synthesis of a sacred space of values their fundamentals. One of the distinctive features of the ballad is the opening to new areas of mythical transcendence, orientation to some original images, with an ancient mythological substratum, prone to successive changes, to reveal new dimensions in the aesthetic perception of the world, in the context of serious meditations on life. and death, fulfillment, and sacrifice, about the perpetuation of the human spirit through creation.

This article situates Bruce Lee at the heart of the emergence of ‘martial arts’. It argues that the notion ‘martial arts’, as we now know it, is a discursive entity that emerged in the wake of media texts, and that the influence of Bruce Lee films of the early 1970s was both seminal and structuring of ‘martial arts’, in ways that continue to be felt. Using the media theory proposition that a limited range of ‘key visuals’ structure the aesthetic terrain of the discursive entity ‘martial arts’, the article assesses the place, role and status of images of Bruce Lee as they work intertextually across a wide range of media texts. In so doing, the article demonstrates the enduring media legacy of Bruce Lee – one that has always overflowed the media realm and influenced the lived, embodied lifestyles of innumerable people the world over, who have seen Bruce Lee and other martial arts texts and gone on to study Chinese and Asian martial arts because of them.

Sense Of Time

‘Temporality, transcendence, and freedom’ considers Dasein’s place within time and space. Time is a result of Dasein striving to impose order and significance on an apparently hostile environment. The past informs the opportunities to be found in the present and the future. As such, time makes living in the world possible. Dasein’s sense of time allows it to transcend the world and transcend temporality by actualizing its own purposes and constructing its own encounters. This ability to view the entities as possibilities rather than sheer actualities relies on the freedom that Dasein has. Thus, Dasein asks for the grounds of things because ‘to exist is already to philosophize’.

The emergence of cinema in the nineteenth century was contemporaneous with the rise of modern sports, both popular spectacles connected with the industrial revolution. Deleuze sees film in his Cinema books as the aesthetic expression of a specifically modern understanding of movement, in contrast to the science and philosophy of antiquity. This article uses Deleuze's analysis of cinema to characterise the aesthetic of modern sports as another ‘industrial art’ with a similarly innovative approach to space, time and movement. It also shows how the aesthetic impact of a sporting match is aligned with the dimensions of Deleuze's ‘affection-image’ in cinema, which frames the world as a ‘face’ divided between absorption and agitation.

What kinds of things are events? Battles, explosions, accidents, crashes, rock concerts would be typical examples of events and these would be reinforced in the way we speak about the world. Events or actions function linguistically as verbs and adverbs. Philosophers following Aristotle have claimed that events are dependent on substances such as physical objects and persons. But with the advances of modern physics, some philosophers and physicists have argued that events are the basic entities of reality and what we perceive as physical bodies are just very long events spread out in space-time. In other words, everything turns out to be events. This view, no doubt, radically revises our ordinary common sense view of reality, but as our event theorists argue common sense is out of touch with advancing science. In The Event Universe: The Revisionary Metaphysics of Alfred North Whitehead, Leemon McHenry argues that Whitehead's metaphysics provides a more adequate basis for achieving a unification of physical theory than a traditional substance metaphysics. He investigates the influence of Maxwell's electromagnetic field, Einstein's theory of relativity and quantum mechanics on the development of the ontology of events and compares Whitehead’s theory to his contemporaries, C. D. Broad and Bertrand Russell, as well as another key proponent of this theory, W. V. Quine. In this manner, McHenry defends the naturalized and speculative approach to metaphysics as opposed to analytical and linguistic methods that arose in the 20th century.
