Intercultura, pluralismo ed estetica

Abstract

Through the practice of an intercultural thinking, intended as an effort to overcome every form of monologue and sectarianism, in order to rethink the so-called "human sciences" – from anthropology to pedagogy, psychology, sociology, ethnology at the history of religion – this paper proposes some possible analyses of the "aesthetic". This dimension appears as one of the anthropological characters of present time and world, understood as a complex laboratory where forms of life and aesthetic experiences appear and disappear at unprecedented speed. The study of with different languages of art, which bring together different voices, becomes an opportunity to develop an intercultural knowledge in philosophy and anthropology: in particular, the Japanese dance-drama butō looks like a privileged field of investigation, in order to see how looks, cultures and bodies can meet and hybridize in a plural way.
