Wood has been one of the most popular building materials of the world and wooden buildings served as the predecessors and prototypes of architecture in history. This paper focuses on a single material, wood, as a tool to discuss the potential continuity of meaning in the material language of architecture and addresses the topic of the material imagination in architecture.

The Brain

The Austrian psychiatrist Theodor Meynert’s anatomical theories of the brain and nerves are laden with metaphorical imagery, ranging from the colonies of empire to the tentacles of jellyfish. This paper analyses among Meynert’s earliest works a different set of less obvious metaphors, namely, the fibres, threads, branches and paths used to elaborate the brain’s interior. I argue that these metaphors of material, or what the philosopher Gaston Bachelard called ‘material images’, helped Meynert not only to imaginatively extend the tracts of fibrous tissue inside the brain but to insinuate their function as pathways co-extensive with the mind. Above all, with reference to Bachelard’s study of the material imagination, I argue that Meynert helped entrench the historical intuition that the mind, whatever it was, consisted of some interiority – one which came to be increasingly articulated through the fibrous confines of the brain.

Artistic Image

The foremost line of the post-independent music evolves especially, from a simple to a more compound whole within the understanding of convention of representation and the association of experience become structural materials. Thereby, the basic component of conventional imagery, and the colonialist dynamic straightforward influences frame a new idiosyncratic type that evaluates the establishment of realty, memory and symbol. Correspondingly, through the foundation of intellectual and artistic image, the commensurate imagination of the musical nationalism schedule moves afar unconscious and insensate sensitivity. Indeed, the cultural and artistic body of the Bembeya Jazz and the Black Beats Band deconstruct the colonialist conventional perception of productivity; then, through extensive collective relation with their time and space, their nationalistic music exhibits boundaries of cross-examination regarding the realm of recombination, reconciliation and re-appropriation. Within the respect of material imagination and objective reality, verbal text, and contemporary Western musical instruments become the developing artistic cosmos within a new social and linguistic narrative is structured. Hence, the commitment of this article stands as a diagnostic process within we try to grasp the rapport of the indigenous value of imagination and the transcontinental stylistic effects inside the historio-context of redefining the self, sociolinguistic reflectivity, and perceptive sensibility in post-independent era.

Neste artigo, pretendemos analisar o romance o apocalipse dos trabalhadores, do escritor português Valter Hugo Mãe, a partir dos estudos do filósofo Gaston Bachelard sobre a imaginação material. Para isso, o personagem Andriy foi selecionado como foco do estudo: ucraniano, o homem vive uma realidade dura de imigrado em Portugal, trabalhando muito e ganhando pouco, em um sistema exemplar de capitalismo tardio, longe da família e sem amigos. Por isso, ele decide virar máquina e se despir de sua humanidade para não sentir mais – e esse processo de metalização ganha novos significados quando interpretado principalmente à luz da simbologia do elemento terrestre examinado por Bachelard em A terra e os devaneios da vontade.********************************************************************The will to be a machine: material imagination in o apocalipse dos trabalhadoreswriter Valter Hugo Mãe, according with the theory of the philosopher Gaston Bachelar about the “material imagination”. To do this, the analyze will be focused on the character Andriy: Ukrainian, he has a hard life as immigrant in Portugal, working a lot and not getting much from it, in a late capitalism system, far from his family and without friends. Because of this, he decides to become a machine, giving away his own humanity condition: this process of turning himself a metal structure revels subtle meanings when interpreted mainly with the symbolic aspect of the earth element, exanimated by Barchelard in La terre et les rêveries de la volonté.Keywords: Valter Hugo Mãe; o apocalipse dos trabalhadores; Gaston Bachelard; Material imagination
