Intercontinental Academia - Talk with Karl-Heinz Kohl: por Aziz Salem — publicado 26/04/2015 — última modificação 05/06/2025 08:06
Concepts of time across the cultures: an anthropological view. What people understand by “time” – if an equivalent to the english term exists at all – is always culturally embedded. How time is conceptualized depends strongly from each society’s mode of production and forms also a central part of its religious worldview. In this talk, Kohl compared the linear time concept of modern industrial societies to the time concepts of early agrarian, pastoral and hunter-gatherer societies to show the differences as well as some surprising similarities.

Birth and myth: A reflection on temporality. This reflection was originally presented over 25 years ago. It is, therefore, dated, and shows the marks both of permanence and of obsolescence. Like everything else, it has been subject to the effects of time. The text relates the evolvement of “self-consciousness” to the oedipal development and to the perception of time. It examines the assumptions underlying the appropriation, by a subject, of the historicity of his or her life. It considers that this uniquely psychoanalytical theme is a feature of modernity and, in order to better understand it, it also surveys the issue from a philosophical and aesthetic angle. Examples of literary treatments of the awareness of temporality (Lampedusa and T. Mann) are given. The text examines how in Hegel (via A. Kojève) self-consciousness is established from the transformation of nature, that is, from labor. It also sees the emergence of self-consciousness as linked to the possibility of seizing and containing contradictions, and that the perception of time is concomitant with the capture of the phenomena of variation and repetition. This is possible for consciousness as defined by Freud: “a sensory organ for the perception of psychic qualities.” The perception of pleasure and pain allows the apprehension of life. It also makes it possible to face the alternative that emerges from the inevitable experience of frustration, namely, evading the perception or altering its nature. Thus, it is a matter, here, of transforming the inner nature of the subject. The work, at this moment, is to think.

Intercontinental Academia - Talk with Massimo Canevacci: por Aziz Salem — publicado 04/05/2015 — última modificação 05/06/2025 10:19
The ethnographic experiences of digital cultures and the syncretic mix of spacetimes. The talk presented an anthropological perspective on time through the key-concept of ubiquity: ubiquitimes. Digital cultures and communication are going to transform the classical distinction of space-and-time, favouring a decentred and non-linear experiences of spacetimes. A strong metaphorical use of this term has been used recently on web-culture. A shared affirmation is that the web is ubiquitous and so ubiquities characterizes internet´s space-time (human and not-human) relations. Ubiquitimes also expands a restless montage of syncretic concepts and polyphonic methods in digital culture. Canevacci discussed the differences between the traditional avant-garde concepts of simultaneity and of the theological one of ubiquity. Than he presented the digital emergence and the contemporary different meanings of ubiquity as immanent inter-connections and inter-sections on times-and-spaces. Ubiquitimes play a logical-sensorial immanence of material/immaterial character; express tensions beyond hegemonic dualism or regressive dichotomous ratio. Ubiquitimes is the exact imagination potentiality connected to digital every-day life.

Intercontinental Academia - Talk with Matthew Kleban: por Aziz Salem — publicado 26/04/2015 — última modificação 05/06/2025 08:02 — registrado em: ICA
Cosmic History and Time’s Arrow. Kleban began by outlining what we know of the cosmological history of the universe. He discussed theories of the big bang - whether it was the “beginning” of time, or whether there were events that preceded it - and their implications for the ultimate fate of the universe. Lastly, he also discussed the “arrow” of time - why there is a difference between past and future - and how this difference relates to cosmology.

Intercontinental Academia - Talk with Regina P. Markus: por Aziz Salem — publicado 04/05/2015 — última modificação 05/06/2025 08:13
STOP, STOP... A necessary pause in the flow of time. The crosstalk on synchronization of the internal and environmental time is an universal concept and is associated to adaption of life on earth. Gene clocks, special neuronal pathways and hormonal outputs regulate and sinchronize all the biological funcions, and the relationship between living organisms. But, there is a moment, when stoping internal timing is essential. There is a moment when synchronization of body function are secondary. How and why internal timing needs to be transiently stopped was discussed.

Intercontinental Academia - Talk with Ruud Buijs: por Aziz Salem — publicado 27/04/2015 — última modificação 05/06/2025 08:05
The timing of brain and body physiology. In this conversation Buijs aimed to cover the mechanisms that our brain is using to synchronize our physiology to the requirements of the day. The importance of such synchronization for our health has been demonstrated in many different studies. The first task of our brain is that it needs to take care of itself, for that it has an elaborate system that provides it continuously with information about the state of our body. Naturally the state of energy in our body is of the utmost importance because our brain uses up to 20% of the available energy most in the form of glucose. Only if that is available in sufficient amounts then the brain can think of reproducing itself. Because the available energy depends for all organisms on the energy of the sun many systems have developed that take into account the day night cycle and thus the availability of food. This appears to be the main organizational principle in most organisms. Therefore we will see a very close association between time energy and physiology. Therefore time is important for the functioning temperature regulation, reproduction, metabolism, circulation and immune system. Therefore the mechanisms of this interweaving of time with these different physiological systems will be the topic of our conversation.

Intercontinental Academia - Talk with Takao Kondo: por Aziz Salem — publicado 26/04/2015 — última modificação 05/06/2025 08:09
Circadian clock: Chronometry of living organism to live on the Earth. As we depend on mechanical/electrical clock, living organisms have accurate chronometer in the cells to fit their life to the 24 hour cycle in environment of the Earth. Kondo reported recent progress of the biochronometry and discuss it with chronometer that our industry developed to understand a principle of time of the day.
