This article addresses the question of consistent presence of “postdramatic” performative elements in contemporary theater staging. It considers artistic production and everyday behavior as two related processes supported by individual creative capacity inherent to every human being. Both an individual self in its day-to-day exchanges, and a theater character within a play are maintained by this capacity to process the unknown and function in the presence of the unpredictable. In the “postmodern” interrelated and multifaceted world this ability becomes crucial for an individual as well as for the society. It is made possible by a relational network created by continuous performative actions and relies on a cultural space relatively free of codified behavior that can be defined as liminal. Contemporary theater in its staging practices and in its active involvement of the spectator can arguably function as this liminal space indispensable for culture as a whole.

2D Model

Is based on understanding culture as a mode of being human. Deriving therefrom, the author defines five factors that determine a type of culture; those are relation to nature and modes of operation, community building, thinking and understanding. The content and structure of the latter may change depending on specific historical state of human society, namely pre­civilizational, civilizational and post­civilizational. This may be interpreted as a 2D model of cultural space. The third dimension is defined by coordinates of value and meaning; these are represented in sociocultural implications of a response given to the question as to what a human being is by different type of cultures.

Mode Of Being

The article shows that the elimination of the metaphysical concepts of "essence", "nature", "transcendental" makes it impossible for a person to set apart the poles of "being" and "due". And therefore it makes impossible the ethics itself. The metaphysical apriorism can justify the latter. The approaches of positivism and historicism in the moral sciences both destroy the tradition of natural law, undermines the theoretical foundation of democracy and European universalism. It is noted that the basis for the disclosure of the essence of human is participation in the otherworldly realm (G. Hegel). In the experience of the latter, the transcendence of the daily mode of being, the rise of natural existence to the level of "supernatural" occurs. The otherworldly comes in two versions: the strong version of the non-world is the sacred mystery of the divine, and the weak one is the romanticized space of a fairy tale. The fairy serves as a substitute for the sacred in the post-enlightenment era and performs therapeutic and preventive functions in the treatment of the moral diseases of our time – cynical mind, individualism, relativism, cult of consumption. It is noted that the absence of the otherworldly as a meta-value in the cultural space of a modern secular person leads to the fall of the natural (essentially human) mode of existence to an unnatural level, in a state of dehumanization.

Esta investigación muestra cómo los habitantes de La Mojana sucreña, en el norte de Colombia, viven, estacionalmente, bajo las inclemencias de las inundaciones. Para adaptarse a esta situación han modificado su estilo de vida, llevando así una supervivencia catalogada como anfibia. La geografía de esta región se pone de manifiesto por los cambios que el hombre hace a un medio físico, que por lo general se ensaña con él. Se tuvo en cuenta la observación directa y la apreciación de algunos integrantes de la comunidad de La Mojana (charlas, entrevistas, encuestas), con visitas de campo en dos épocas delaño: sequía y lluvias. Se valoró especialmente cada una de las condiciones de vida y el accionar cultural de los habitantes. Lo que se pretendió entonces fue reconocer cómo el ser humano, bajo ciertas circunstancias de inundación, se ve en la necesidad de construir su propio espacio cultural para la convivencia, sobrevivencia y supervivencia.Palabras claves: adaptación, cultura anfibia, Mojana sucreña, percepción, transformación.AbstractThe current research shows how the inhabitants of the Mojana sucreña, in the northern region of Colombia, seasonally live under the inclement flooding. In order to adapt themselves to this situation, people from this region have changed their lifestyle, carrying a survival life mode classified as amphibious. The geography of this region reveals itself because of the changes that the human being makes to the phyisical environment, which generaly preys on him. Direct observations and points of view of some members of La Mojarra community, including talks, interviews and surveys, were applied. Field visits during the dry and wet season were done, taking into consideration the living conditions and cultural behavior of the inhabitants. With this project, it was intended to recognize how the human being, under flooding circumstances, sees himself in the need of constructing his own cultural space for cohabitation and survival.Keywords: adaptation, amphibian culture, Mojana sucreña, perception, transformation.

Wide Range

It is true to say that there is a wide range of definitions and types of space e.g. abstract space, mathematical space, physical space, social space, etc. Cultural depiction of space emphasizes its anthropological dimension. Cultural space is a sphere of social relations, interactions, and feedback between a human being and physical space. According to E.T. Hall, space is a form of communication. In my opinion, it is also the environment for the functioning of culture. Simultaneously, space seems to be a characteristic product of culture. Time is forming the organizations of cultural space. Time is a measure of change (Aristotle) a total of various rhythms, events, and conceptions (E.T. Hall). From an anthropological point of view, time is also a creator of different kinds of space environments for different kinds of culture. Cultural space and time complement one another. It appears that they should be perceived as space-time. As E.T. Hall claims, culture is a form of interpersonal communication. It is formed by any number of units and it reveals three levels of functioning:a) conscious, technical;b) private (or personal);c) hidden, unconscious, primary.The essential element shaping all levels of culture like in the case of space is time (e.g. biological, physical, metaphysical, sacred, cultural, etc.) Generally speaking, time is a silent language of culture - one of the basic means of communication. As Hall believes, time is a core system of every culture. As well as being the main organizer of a human being s cultural activity, time is a tool of insight into the culture. In my opinion, cultural research should take the modifying influence of time into consideration, these two factors ought to be treated inseparably as the reality of time-culture. Culture is a constituent of a cultural landscape. In my opinion, a cultural landscape is becoming a culture physiognomy an external reflection of its constituents: time, space, and communication. A cultural landscape is a manifestation of collective national remembrance which was inherited through generations, society, and ethnic groups. A cultural landscape evolves within the changes of remembrance, however remains strangely stable. Its changes occur with the delayed reactions. A hypothesis that explains the above characteristic features of a cultural landscape is one of Rupert Sheldrake's concept of the morphic field and morphic resonance.

This paper intends to verify the extent and effectiveness of the transforming appropriation of the Derridean concept of ‘differance’ by Stiegler with respect to the problems that, according to Stiegler, make this creative critical operation necessary; in particular with respect to the most recent question concerning the possibility of thinking about and putting into practice a ‘neganthropological différance’ capable of facing the ecological crisis that today seems to threaten the very existence of life on earth. The paper goes back to Technics and Time 1. to analyze the distinction between ‘vital difference’ and ‘noetic difference’ that constitutes the condition of possibility of the ‘neganthropological différance.’ In this perspective, the distinction proposed by Stiegler seems to re-propose the hierarchically oriented oppositional structure that characterizes metaphysical thought and in particular the opposition between man and animal, attributing to the human being the ability to free himself from the constraints of his biological-natural condition. Finally, the paper attempts to account for the repercussions of this approach on the very possibility of an effective response to the ecological crisis, concluding with a provocation regarding the role that theory can and must play with regard to such an urgent and far-reaching problem.
