The body in the world

openIl presente lavoro di ricerca muove dall’analisi del testo 'Fenomenologia della percezione' di Maurice Merleau-Ponty: partendo da una premessa sintetica circa la percezione come modo di essere-al-mondo continua ponendo attenzione al corpo, nella relazione corpo-mondo in cui l'essere umano abita. Infine, nell'ultimo capitolo, viene analizzata la corporeità in età infantile, tratto dalle lezione tenute da Maurice Merleau-Ponty.This research work starts from the analysis of the text 'Phenomenology of perception' by Maurice Merleau-Ponty: starting from a synthetic premise about perception as a way of being-in-the-world, it continues paying attention to the body, in the body-world relationship in which the human being lives. Finally, in the last chapter, the corporeality in childhood is analyzed, taken from the lessons given by Maurice Merleau-Ponty

Interviews With Maurice Merleau-Ponty

In 2016, a collection of previously unreleased audio-recorded interviews and dialogues with phenomenological philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty were transcribed and published in French in Entretiens avec Georges Charbonnier: et autres dialogues, 1946-1959. Here, to my knowledge, I have translated three of those interviews into English for the very first time. Given that these interviews were recorded for broadcast to the general public, they provide an accessible entry point into some of the thoughts of Merleau-Ponty. The first interview that I have translated is Merleau-Ponty explaining his research in Philosophy. The second interview discusses Husserl, the concept of lived experience, and the discipline of phenomenology. The third interview is about praxis and how philosophy is engaged in the world. Following the three interviews is an original essay expanding upon some of the concepts introduced in the interviews, especially those in conversation with Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception

Entreaberto-Entrefechado: herança maldita do conceito de comunicação

This paper discusses a debate that is common in the social sciences and in philosophy, but has not yet received an adequate treatment in the field of communication. This is the debate about the opening and the closure of consciousness and of systems, which is an epistemological attitude that underlies the concept of communication, notwithstanding the lack of a theoretical foundation. The paper deals with that debate by means of Niklas Luhmann’s theory of social systems, the cybernetics of Heinz von Foerster and the philosophies of Jürgen Habermas, Gilles Deleuze and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. It is divided into nine topics and ends with a summary and a short conclusion on the present state of the theoretical debate.Key words: Niklas Luhmann, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, operational closure.O presente artigo percorre um debate comum às ciências sociais e à filosofia, mas que ainda não encontrou um tratamento adequado na área da comunicação. Trata-se do debate sobre a abertura e o fechamento das consciências e dos sistemas, disposição epistemológica que subjaz ao conceito de comunicação não obstante a ausência de formalização teórica. O texto percorrerá esse debate, especialmente, pela teoria dos sistemas sociais de Niklas Luhmann, pela cibernética de Heinz von Foerster e pelas filosofias de Jürgen Habermas, Gilles Deleuze e Maurice Merleau-Ponty. O texto está dividido em nove tópicos e traz, como tópico final, um resumo e uma breve conclusão sobre o estado atual desse debate teórico.Palavras-chave: Niklas Luhmann, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, fechamento operacional

Merleau-Ponty (1908-2008): mundo da vida / carne do mundo

Este texto presta tributo ao filósofo francês Maurice Merleau-Ponty, nos 100 anos do seu nascimento. Pretende-se mostrar como a obra deste autor, partindo da fenomenologia de Edmund Husserl, acaba por assumir uma configuração específica, que resulta de um aprofundamento dos aspectos existencialistas da fenomenologia, e de um interesse cada vez maior pelo estudo da percepção, e mais especificamente da percepção visual, como forma de ultrapassar certas dicotomias herdadas da filosofia moderna.This text pays tribute to the French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty, celebrating his 100th anniversary. It demonstrates how his work, starting off as a consequence of Edmund Husserl’s phenomenology, ends up by assuming a specific configuration which comes as the result of an elaboration of the existentialist aspects of Husserl’s phenomenology together with a growing interest towards the study of perception, and particularly keen on visual perception, as a way to override some of the dichotomies of modern philosophy.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

‘In the game’? Embodied subjectivity in gaming environments

Human-computer interactions are increasingly using more (or all) of the body as a control device. We identify a convergence between everyday bodily actions and activity within digital environments, and a trend towards incorporating natural or mimetic form of movement into gaming devices. We go on to reflect on the nature of player ‘embodiment’ in digital gaming environments by applying insights from the phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty. Three conditions for digital embodiment are proposed, with implications for Calleja’s (2011) Player Involvement Model (PIM) of gaming discussed
