Investigação e ensino baseado mas artes

Alison Laurie Neilson, CES Rita São Marcos, CES

Alison e Rita irão partilhar a suas recentes e astuciosas colaborações no ato de lembrar e de tentar reintroduzir o político e experimental.

No meio do rugido ensurdecedor do sacrifíço ao Euro e à Banca; e significado apertado em cinta de factor de alto impacto, tapai os vossos ouvidos meus queridos e sonhai a vossa vida espiritual. Sabedoria é criada em conjunto: para proteger e celebrrar a vida. Quando não podemos falar a linguagem de àrvores e rios, utilizamos medidas e fórmulas; quando não podemos ouvir a história dos ouros, pedimos a ajuda deles. Mesmo assim em 2015, o potencial político herdado da medição e do inquérito tem sido bastane esfolado da experiência de experimentar e canalizado estreitamente como apenas informação.

Assuntos: Linguagem Diversidade – maneiras de saber; culturas; biodiversidade Justiça – voz Tempo e espaço

Convites

Facebook: Environmental Education Feminist Caucus Environmental Education Special Interest Group (AERA) Emails to contacts across the world seeking activists, educators and researchers who would like to collaborate in this proposed keynote address. The invitation asked people to pass it along.

In response to a call – Evoking a keynote When WEEC asked, So you think you can dance?

A spontaneous council of animals was evoked and this video was born. We need to get grants said the Meerkats… time and space, there is a race and the Troika must be paid.

Em resposta a um pedido –

Evocando um tópico

Quando WEEC perguntou,

Então pensa que sabe dançar?

Um conselho espontâneo de

animais foi convocado e este

vídeo nasceu.

Nós precisamos de obter

bolsas disseram os Suricatos…

tempo e espaço, existe uma

corrida e a Troika tem que ser

paga.

Script from video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoQJssjbTUE&feature=youtu.be

St. Anthony’s sermon to the fishes Saint Anthony at church Was left in the lurch, So he went to the ditches And preached to the fishes. They wriggled their tails, In the sun glanced their scales. The carps, with their spawn, Are all thither drawn; Have opened their jaws, Eager for each clause. No sermon beside Had the carps so edified.

O sermão aos peixes de Santo

António

Santo António na igreja levantado

Ficou guinado,

Então foi às valas

E pregou aos peixes.

Eles abanaram as suas caudas,

Ao sol luziram as suas escamas.

As carpas, com as suas ovas,

Lá foram desenhadas;

Abriram as suas mandíbulas,

Ansiosas pelas cláusulas.

Nenhum sermão ao lado

Terão as carpas assim edificado.

Education? thought Coyote who wrote “Environmental” then “Sustainability” before laughing and scratching both out to write “Anthropocene” The humans looked at one another confused, when a fiery red fox said, “only in circle, only in circle will we write”

No sermon beside Had the carps so edified.

Ensino? pensou Coiote que

escreveu “Ambiental” depois

“Sustentabilidade” antes de se rir

e riscar ambos para escrever

“Antropoceno”

Os humanos olharam um para o

outro confusos, quando uma

fogosa raposa vermelha disse,

“só em círculo, só em círculo

vamos escrever”

Nenhum sermão ao lado

Terão as carpas assim edificado.

There IS a common tragedy, but not of the type you think. “I” said ego, “me” said pride, “hmph” thought spirit, what a ride.

No sermon beside

EXISTE uma tragédia comum,

mas não do tipo que pensais.

“Eu” disse o ego, “mim” disse

o orgulho, “umf” pensou o

espírito, que corrida.

Nenhum sermão ao lado

Ptarmigan, caribou, Arctic char

No sermon Seeds and songs, skype the mess, Roam and wonder, corrupt and caress

Ptármiga, caribu, truta ártica

Nenhum sermão

Sementes e canções, skype

a confusão,

Vaguear e matutar, corrupto

e carícia

Breath in, breath out. Theory and practice: one with the other, none without the other. Relishing random… riffing relationships… rhyming ridiculously….

Respira para dentro, respira para

fora. Teoria e prática: um com o

outro, nenhum sem o outro.

Saboreando o acaso…

musicando relações… rimando

ridiculamente…

What!! groaned a great big bear, is this all about? AGHHHH… said Alison, I can´t do this alone Gosh, said Rita, whatever gave you the idea that you were alone?

O quê!! rangeu um muito

grande urso, é assim?

AHHHH… disse a Alison, Não

posso realizar isto sozinha.

Poxa, disse a Rita, que ideia foi

essa que estavas sozinha?

In creating the video, Alison and Rita stumbled upon multiple “surprises”: meanings that arose accidently, subconsciously… or perhaps cause by Coyote … Alison and Rita are currently composing an article for publication exploring the process of creating the video and attempting to “win the contest” of being chosen to give a keynote address as a community of people. Alas, the Council of Animals were not chosen to make the keynote address… better luck next time!

Council of Animals: from Joanna Macy´s idea of “Council of All Beings” John Seed, Joanna Macy, Pat Fleming, Arne Naess, Thinking Like a Mountain (New Society Publishers 1988) St. Anthony’s Sermon To The Fishes poem by Abraham a Sancta-Clara (full poem available in the public domain) http://www.public-domain-poetry.com/abraham-a-sancta-clara/st-anthonys-sermon-to-the-fishes-39184 Coyote Coyote is a trickster who appears in many First Nations. To know more about Coyote, go to a First Nations (indigenous source). writings of Thomas King: Green Grass, Running Water – 1993 A Coyote Columbus Story – 1992 (Illustrated by William Kent Monkman King, Thomas. (2003). The truth about stories, a native narrative. Toronto: House of Anansi Press Inc. Alison is a white settler from Canada, NOT a First Nations; she hopes she speaks with Coyote in a respectful manner. Neilson, A. L. (2007). Trickster teachers. Alternatives Journal, 33(5), 4-5, 45. Chamuel the dog who plays Coyote. The name “Chamuel” comes from an arch angel. He is said to protect relationships

Common Tragedy This refers to the a phrase coined primarily by Garrett Hardin (1968) “Tragedy of the Commons.” The idea is that people have always been and will always act selfishly and try to take as much of the commons (fish in the ocean, trees in a forest, etc) for themselves and so it is inevitable that people will destroy the commons. This assumption has been used to justify privatization of fisheries and forests and other commons. Traditional fishers, indigenous peoples, shepherds, and others who have used the local commons end up being excluded by the companies and individuals who buy access to the resources. From the very first publication of this idea, multiple people (e.g., Feeny et al., 1990) challenged this idea pointing out that Hardin had ignored multiple examples of groups of people who had protected the commons from over-exploitation without needing to privatize or put some sort of fence around the commons (see the concept of enclosure). Another critique is that Hardin ignored the important influence of colonial rule which destroyed various aspects of local communities and local customs which ensured that people lived in sustainable ways.
