indetermination, ambiguity in society

social life presents an almost endless variety of finely distinguishable situations an quite an array of grossly different ones. It contains arenas of continous competitions. It proceeds in a context of ever-shifting set of persons, changing moments in time, altering situations and partially improvised interactions. established rulez, customs, and symbolic frameworks exists, but they operate in the precence of areas of indeterminacy, of ambiguity, of uncertaninty, and manipulability.
Order never fully takes over, nor could it.
Common symbols, customary behaviours, role expectations, rules categories, ideas and ideologies, rituals and formalities shared by actors do exist and frame mutual communication and action.
Fixing and framing of social reality is itself a process or a set of process.
Structure is ever the ever-to-be repeated achivement of regularization.
However tight the rules, in their application there is always a certain range of maneuver, of openess, of choice, of interpretation,, af alteration, of tampering, of reversing, of transforming. (Moore)

Boîte-en-valise

Assembled between 1935-41, Boîte-en-valise is a "traveling museum" of 69 works by Marcel Duchamp that include Fountain, Large Glass, Broyeuse de chocolat, Why Not Sneeze Rose Sélavy, Tu m', Paris Air, Pliant de voyage, 3 Stoppages Etalon, Bride, Comb, and others.

Duchamp's aim was "to reproduce the paintings and the objects he liked and collect them in a space as small as possible."

If the readymade is that object which should be "a work without an artist to make it," the objects in the Boîte-en-valise upset the concept of the readymade by their quality of being remade readymades....

social drama

social dramas sint compuse din patru momente:
1. ruptura (aparitia acelor momente care creaza dezchilibrul)
2. criza (distrugerea ordinii existente)
3. redresarea (eforturile, reale si simbolice de a reface ordinea)
4. reintegrarea (actele care marcheaza intrarea intr-o noua ordine)

social dramas intervin in grupuri unite de valori si interese comune, care includ persoane cu o origine comuna sau considerata ca atare. principalii lor actori sint acele persoane pentru care grupul ce face obiectul respectivei actiuni dramatice are o mare valoare (victor turner)

patafizica

Was ist pataphysik?Ce este patafizica?Cred ca cea mai mai buna definitie este data de scriitorul Alfred Jarry,in cartea a doua a romanului neo stiintific,”Faptele si opiniile doctorului Faustroll”,:”patafizica este stiinta solutiilor imaginare,care acorda simbolic lineamentelor proprietatilor obiectelor descrise prin virtualitatea lor”.La aceasta definiste mai este adaugat un argument in plus,:”patafizica este stiinta ce se supra-adauga metafizicii si se intinde dincolo de metafizica,tot cat acesta se intinde dincolo de fizica”.

Ea propune o reflexie profunda asupra universului paralel,este o stiinta care terorizeaza deconstructia realului si construierea lui la modul absurd.Acest termen odata descoperit a influnetat de-a lungul timpului scriitorii suprarealisti dar si teatrul contemporan.

Colegiul de Patafizica a fost creat pentru studiera problemelor celor mai importante ale universului,univers pe care Faustroll il defineste “cel care este propria exceptie”.Colegiul a admis spate propozitii fundamentale ale patafizicii.

1.Patafizica este stiinta acestui domeniu ce se intinde dincolo de metafizica;ea depaseste metafizica atat cat aceasta depasteste fizica-in toate sensurile ad libitum.

2.Patafizica este stiinta particularului,a legilor ce guverneaza exceptiile

3.Patafizica este stiinta solutiilor imgainare.

4.Pentru ea toate sunt acelasi lucru.

5Patafizica este de alura imperturabila.

6.Totul este “patafizic”,totusi,putini oameni pun constiincios patafizica in practica

7.Dincolo de ea nu este nimica.Patafizica este instanta suprema.
