Hello People
On this term my favourite subject at university was "Death and eroticism". That is a very good class. We study the occidental body representation from Classical Greece to body arts in the post avant-garde movements in the last century. The class starts from the hypothesis that the body representation is related to the life and death problems and this problems are the erotismo, these problems conform the eroticism because eroticism is part of the forces of life and death.
The course is very fun, we read Nietzsche "The birth of tragedy" a very good book to understand our bodily situation, our context.
Here I leave a quote for you to read and be erotized and live.
“Suppose a human being has thus put his ear, as it were, to the heart chamber of the world will and felt the roaring desire for existence pouring from there into all the veins of the world, as a thundering current or as the gentlest brook, dissolving into a mist—how could he fail to break suddenly? How could he endure to perceive the echo of innumerable shouts of pleasure and woe in the "wide space of the world night," enclosed in the wretched glass capsule of the human individual, without inexorably fleeing toward his primordial home, as he hears this shepherd's dance of metaphysics? But if such a work could nevertheless be perceived as a whole, without denial of individual existence; if such a creation could be created without smashing its creator—whence do we take the solution of such a contradiction?”
I like the teacher....is a little bit strange, but I love her look :)
