Welcome to the forthcoming Konstfack Common Seminar with Carl Abrahamsson, “Occulturation & Epistemology – the creative relationship between Utilitarianism and Cerebral Neutrality” 23rd NOVEMBER 2022, 10:00 – 12:00 CET/UTC+1. Open to everyone, not just students/academics.
Online at Zoom: https://konstfack-se.zoom.us/j/2621150454
OVERVIEW:
The Western mind-frame/culture often creates an unnecessary divide between the “rational” and “irrational” minds – no doubt a result of convenient over-simplification stemming from early 20th century attraction to and fetishization of scientific models. Much of this can be made redundant by looking at epistemology through an arc of occulturation: ideas grow in the hidden, enter a twilight (preliminary) zone and are then birthed into a visible, tangible sphere of evaluation and use. In this talk, I will look at the terms and phenomena throughout history, and suggest how they can be applied today in various disciplines.
