Tomorrow starts the lecture interesting The Symbolic Species, which will run over three consecutive days. The sessions will be taught by writer and professor at the University of Zaragoza, Agustín Sánchez Vidal. Organized by the Department of History of Art in collaboration with the Vice President Cultural and Social Projection, lectures are integrated into the conference Living fictions. The stories in the era of audiovisual that began last year. As we reported, the title alludes to the underlying reasons that push us to tell stories and listen. " Each of the three days will focus on specific issues whose sum constitutes a general reflection. I detail the description of contents: "The first day, Frames are we will focus on the revolution of the strings, and its importance in our cultural process. Ranging from textiles to texts neural networks or the Internet to the fabric of the stories.
The title of the second conference The writing of God, is taken from a story by Borges about the signs that could lead the world and lock their keys. An attempt to have moved closer today scientists working on the Unified Theory of Information and closely linked to the mazes, the Tower of Babel and the "genome" of the Universe.
The last day dedicated to symbols and myths will address the role of stories in our lives, from the Homeric to the Hollywood blockbuster. Because despite sharing the same physical space with other species, live in a parallel universe that we belong exclusively: our symbolic world. In it lies the ability to imagine alternative realities. In a word, be free. "
The cycle will take place Tuesday through Thursday the auditorium of the University of Zaragoza (Plaza Basilio Paraíso, 4), starting at 19:30 pm and input free.
