Palavras: liberdade ou prisão?

De que forma é que os conceitos e as palavras interferem na forma como vemos e apreendemos o mundo? Hegel, filósofo alemão (1770 - 1831) disse que não podemos interferir com o objecto e dar-lhe um nome é interferir com ele. Pus-me então a pensar...
Como seria o mundo sem conceitos? Sem palavras para nos ajudarem a exprimir o que sentimos, o que vemos e o que queremos? Como poderíamos descrever o sonho maravilhoso que tivemos ontem à noite ou a horrífica máscara de Halloween com que nos cruzámos no Metro? Seria possível?
Segundo o mesmo autor, os conceitos e as palavras são abstratos e é impossível, através deles alcançar o mundo real. Então, concluo eu, só o toque, o cheiro, a intensa observação e manipulação do mesmo, nos permite descobrir a sua essência.
Quanto às palavras, elas estimulam a nossa imaginação. Uma descrição muito pormenorizada de uma rua movimentada, vai criar duas ruas distintas na mente de duas pessoas. Mas, e se fugirmos aos conceitos e tentarmos representar essa mesma rua através da arte? Também estaremos a criar tantas ruas diferentes, quanto o número de pessoas que as observam?
Provavelmente.
A arte nunca é, na verdade, o objecto real, mas uma representação do mesmo, que engloba não só a imagem aproximada do objecto, mas também, uma série de sentimentos e reflexões que, eventualmente, este terá provocado no artista.
Lewitt, em 1968, afirmou que os artistas são mais místicos do que racionalistas, saltando rapidamente para conclusões que a lógica dificilmente poderia alcançar.
Assim, podemos nós concluir, que uma representação pode tocar-nos mais profundamente do que uma pintura extremamente realista, que poderá transmitir-nos mais facilmente a excelência do autor, do que a grandiosidade da sua obra.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.
