Un libro inusual y extraordinario tanto por el contenido como por la forma, que nos hará pensar y repensar y, seguro, clarificar un poco esta maraña educativa en la que, a veces, parece que estamos condenados. Las reflexiones se articulan en torno al interés por aprender qué tipo de testimonio tenemos que pasar a la generación siguiente y cómo se puede llegar a hacer esta transmisión; la relevancia de las artes entendidas como formas de acceso al conocimiento; y la certeza de que, para no crecer solos del todo, es necesario que, desde muy pronto, alguien nos ayude a apropiarnos de ciertos espacios y a personalizar nuestro tiempo. En definitiva, una verdadera experiencia a nuestro alcance.
Un llibre inusual i extraordinari tant pel contingut com per la forma, que ens farà pensar i repensar i, de ben segur, clarificar una mica aquest embull educatiu al qual, de vegades, sembla que estiguem condemnats. Les reflexions s'articulen al voltant de l'interès per entendre quina mena de testimoni hem de passar a la generació següent i com es pot arribar a fer aquesta transmissió; la rellevància de les arts enteses com a formes d'accés al coneixement; i la certesa que, per no créixer del tot sols, cal que, des de ben aviat, algú ens ajudi a apropiar-nos de certs espais i a personalitzar el nostre temps. Tot plegat, una veritable experiència al nostre abast.
My Name is Universe is a book of interviews with internationally renowned personalities through which some of the layers of knowledge included in the Periodic Table are revealed, recreated by Eugenia Balcells in the mural Homage to the Elements. Who would have thought that a work of art based on a scientific idea could explode like a veritable intellectual Big Bang and take us on a thrilling journey from atoms to galaxies through music, philosophy, art, cinema, chemistry, poetry, theater, dance, astrophysics, education, architecture, painting, quantum physics, religion or mathematics? My Name is Universe is a book in which science, the arts and the humanities are intertwined, appealing to the transversality and unity of knowledge. A text that cultivates an attitude of wonder at the world around us, the engine of artistic and scientific creation, and that stimulates the reader’s curiosity and creativity.
Includes entries for maps and atlases.
‘John Berger has made the world a better place to live in. These essays tell us how he succeeded in that task.’ Arundhati Roy In this collection of essays on the work of, and conversations with, John Berger, thirty-seven of his friends, artistic collaborators and followers come together to form the first truly international and cross-cultural celebration of his interventions. Berger has for decades, through his poetic humanism, brought together geographically, historically and socially disparate subjects. His work continues to throw out lifelines across genres, times and types of experience, opening up radical questions about the meaning of belonging and of community. In keeping with this spirit and in celebration of Berger, the short essays in A Jar of Wild Flowers challenge us all to take the brave step from limited sympathy to extended generosity. With contributions from Ali Smith, Julie Christie, Sally Potter, Ram Rahman, Jean Mohr, Nick Thorpe, Hsiao-Hung Pai and many others.
