Mimesis ( Ancient Greek : μίμησις ( mīmēsis ), from μιμεῖσθαι ( mīmeisthai ), "to imitate," from μῖμος ( mimos ), "imitator, actor") is a critical and philosophical term that carries a wide range of meanings, which include imitation , representation , mimicry , imitatio , receptivity, nonsensuous similarity, the act of resembling, the act of expression, and the presentation of the self . [ 1 ] In ancient Greece , mimesis was an idea that governed the creation of works of art, in particular, with correspondence to the physical world understood as a model for beauty , truth , and the good. Plato contrasted mimesis, or imitation, with diegesis , or narrative.

Den betydelsefulla obetydligheten (kapitel I ur Raoul Vaneigem: Om konsten att leva, manual för de unga ) Genom att banaliseras har vardagslivet gradvis intagit den centrala platsen i våra tankar (1). – Ingen illusion, vare sig helig eller profan (2), – kollektiv eller individuell, kan längre dölja utarmningen av våra vardagliga handlingar (3). – Livets ökade rikedom kräver att den nya fattigdomen analyseras och att de gamla motståndsvapnen fulländas, och det utan alla undanflykter (4).

Münchhausen Trilemma

Baron Münchhausen pulls himself out of a mire by his own hair (illustration by Oskar Herrfurth) The Münchhausen Trilemma (after Baron Münchhausen , who allegedly pulled himself and the horse on which he was sitting out of a swamp by his own hair ), also called Agrippa's Trilemma (after Agrippa the Skeptic ), is a philosophical term coined to stress the purported impossibility to prove any truth even in the fields of logic and mathematics. It is the name of an argument in the theory of knowledge going back to the German philosopher Hans Albert , and more traditionally, in the name of Agrippa. [ citation needed ] [ edit ] Trilemma If we ask of any knowledge: " How do I know that it's true?", we may provide proof; yet that same question can be asked of the proof, and any subsequent proof. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BCnchhausen_trilemma

A Public Space | Reality Is a Bananaskin on Which We Must Step

We first encountered Julian Gough in an essay for Prospect magazine, as part of his campaign to bring comedy back to fiction: “Two and a half thousand years ago, at the time of Aristophanes, the Greeks believed that comedy was superior to tragedy: tragedy was the merely human view of life (we sicken, we die). But comedy was the gods’ view, from on high: our endless and repetitive cycle of suffering, our horror of it, our inability to escape it. The big, drunk, flawed, horny Greek gods watched us for entertainment, like a dirty, funny, violent, repetitive cartoon.

This page, much like this site and my self-esteem, are undergoing a constantly unfolding and blossoming process of change and revision. For now, all the hyperlinks below will lead you to articles rendered in the much spat-upon and unfairly maligned PDF format. Each of these articles will all eventually also have its own HTML page, and I'll be adding maybe a hundred OTHER articles that are HTML-only.
