Lecture 2: Theatre and Mimesis

This lecture discusses the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle' work, the Poetics, focusing on his discussion of the development of modes of poetic works, including comedy, tragedy, epic, dithyramb, among others. Aristotle explains that these develop out of the human capacity for mimesis or imitation, an aspect in which human beings excel other animals

Aristotle, Poetics - Epic Poetry - Sadler's Lectures

I had the opportunity to chat with David Gornoski about Girard, Mimesis, and its relationship to understanding propaganda. 

(288)S11E910 Girard, Mimesis, and Propaganda wDavid Gornoski

L'ospite di questa puntata è Stefano Oliva, professore di filosofia estetica e autore del libro "L'elefante e il poeta" (Mimesis).

Una riflessione sulla natura del linguaggio e su ciò che le parole fanno davvero nella nostra vita. Da un lato l’elefante, simbolo della gravità con cui spesso usiamo il linguaggio per ordinare, controllare, classificare il mondo. Dall’altro il poeta, che con leggerezza apre varchi nella realtà. Attraverso filosofia, mistica, estetica e psicoanalisi, esploriamo forme di sapere spesso trascurate, ma profondamente radicate nell’esperienza emotiva e affettiva. Un viaggio tra simboli, amore, conoscenza e trasformazione, che con la musica attraversa i limiti del linguaggio dove è possibile sentire ciò che le parole da sole non riescono a dire.
