The second one is an academic article with an incredible title:
Enacting the Anti-fascist Body: Somaterapia as Collective Liberatory Becoming
by a philosopher with an incredible name: Aragorn Eloff
The article is about somaterapia, a Brazilian anti-fascist body practice aimed at healing the effects of fascism. The idea is that fascism in its cultural form manifests in the body in the form of micro-fascisms: muscular armour, stooped shoulders, fear of intimacy, et cetera. Somaterapia is a practical and radical way of dealing with not just these symptoms, but of rooting fascism out from the source by creating healthier ways of worlding.
The article explores all of this through the lens of the enactive approach to cognition, and I love the way it introduces and explains the various facets of enactivism necessary for understanding someterapia. It is truly a dialogue between two seemingly disparate practices, done in such a way as to enrich both sides.
Favourite quote: "joyful senses are not created if there is no revolt and insurgency in the face of what makes us mediocre"

Looks very interesting on #ontologies of language based in practice and performance. This puts 'worlding' first in language emerging and becoming.
Sounds like #anthropology is needed for understanding how #language works. This fits our #ritual/#speech coevolution theory.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS:
§ FARE MONDI
Tra ricerca e fabulazione
(gen.-apr. 2025)
a cura di Anna Chiara Cimoli e Alessandro Tollari
invio abstract entro il 5 novembre 2024
La call di questo numero di roots§routes magazine invita contributi sul tema dell’intersezione, della frizione, del dialogo fra ricerca e fabulazione, con particolare riferimento a:
_il contributo dell’immaginazione artistica alla ricerca scientifica
_la possibilità di traslazione e osmosi dei metodi creativi fra diverse discipline
_l’analisi di casi di studio che esplorino le possibilità di “forzatura” del sapere accademico, sia nei contenuti che nella loro traduzione formale (hacking, embodiment, pratiche di disseminazione radicale…)
_sperimentazioni linguistiche e transcodificazioni nel campo della scrittura accademica
_le questioni etiche che il ricorso alla finzionalità speculativa pone rispetto alla ricerca scientifica
_le rifrazioni provenienti dalla sperimentazione in ambito digitale e dei game studies, con riferimento al worlding
_i nuovi codici, linguaggi e mitografie della ricerca scientifica e culturale nel XXI secolo
_la ricerca tramite la prassi didattica sperimentale in contesti formali e non-formali
_la ricerca sul caso, l’inatteso e l’aleatorio
_ i ruoli del pensiero analogico e della metafora, della dimensione onirica e inconscia nella produzione di conoscenza
_pratiche ucroniche/utopiche/eterotopiche in prospettiva minoritaria
_pratiche artistiche che generano fiction critiche dell’immaginario del mondo accademico ed educativo
_ riflessioni teoriche e pratiche intorno ai future studies e ai possibility studies
_e tutte le altre possibilità che non siamo stat* in grado di immaginare.

I'm seven turns into Arcanadrome for making a world. You turn tarot cards to inspire creation of aspects of it. No way I'm going to do all 78. The rules say you can do as few as six. I was thinking of doing twelve. It's interesting. A wand is supposed to represent an event in the world, inspired by the traditional meaning of the specific card, and weighty relative to its rank. Swords are supposed to represent factions. Cups are supposed to represent objects. And pentacles...
One story we all think we're in is re-enforced every day. And it looks like endless conflict and drama.
You know there certainly are some hours to just survive. But that's no way to live a whole life. Or make the difference.
So, if you're a leader, I'm going to suggest you go find the people who can unlock some world-changing perspective.

NASA’s SpaceApps Challenge may be the planet’s largest hackathon, but taking part at the Met Office this year reminded me that sticking the landing of any moonshot takes multiple perspectives at once, and it's the creative generalists who naturally navigate this. “No astronaut launches for space wit
Thorough, insightful review essay on QAnon from @jordanscarroll.
'Once we lose faith in our leaders after they abuse their positions, it is hard not to see their evil influence everywhere and suspect everyone of malfeasance. QAnon steps through this break in the symbolic order.'

My fellow artistic doctoral researcher and audio artist Nele Möller works ‘with’ bark beetles, too: in the Thuringian forest in Germany.
In this beautiful text, she describes her relation to the changing #landscape and the disappearing forest:
