IMAGE LEARNING
The link between imagination, forms, spaces, and anthropological, ideological, social, psychological, and formative contexts inevitably draws us to reflect on the importance of images in our cultural universe: the evident power of symbolic language in social life lends extreme importance and urgency to the development of diverse and multidisciplinary lines of inquiry into the role of the imaginal, especially in the processes underpinning the construction of subjects and their relationships with places.
Attending to images does not solely mean examining them within the vast and complex universe of reception processes that raise iconological, sociological, psychoanalytical, mass media, pedagogical, or anthropological questions: the imaginal is the area of the human experience where acts of reception converge with acts of generation.
Aesthetic and visual creativity underpins relational experience, facilitates the production of knowledge and interdisciplinary processes, and both organizes and orients methods of thinking about, designing, and enjoying the world.
The organizers of this conference – in keeping with their own dual scientific interests have issued a wide-ranging call for papers that is open to cross-contamination and interdisciplinarity, with a view to generating dialogue and exchange among disciplines that bring different approaches to bear upon the imaginal.
Il legame che esiste tra immaginazione, forme, spazi, contesti antropologici, ideologici, sociali, psicologici e formativi non può non provocare riflessioni sull’importanza delle immagini nel nostro universo culturale: l’evidente potere del linguaggio simbolico nella vita sociale conferisce estrema attualità e urgenza ad uno studio multiforme e multidisciplinare che metta a tema il ruolo dell’immagine all’interno dei processi di costruzione del soggetto e della sua relazione con i luoghi.
Rivolgere attenzione all’immagine non intende considerarla unicamente all’interno di quel vasto e complesso universo di processi di ricezione che pone il mondo imagetico all’interno di problematiche iconologiche, sociologiche, psicanalitiche, massmediatiche, pedagogiche, antropologiche: l’immagine è quel territorio dell’esperienza umana in cui confluiscono gesti di ricezione così come di generazione. La creatività estetica e visuale permette il vissuto della relazione, apre il campo alla produzione della conoscenza, ai processi interdisciplinari, consente di strutturare ed orientare metodologie di pensiero, di progettazione, di fruizione del mondo.
Con l’intento di far dialogare discipline che a diverso titolo si confrontano con il mondo delle immagini, si propone una call estremamente ampia e aperta alla contaminazione ed all’interdisciplinarietà, a partire dalla doppia anima del gruppo promotore del convegno.
