I m sorry for the late entry.
I have not been so well , and again have been in a vortex of weurd sensations which though kept me working.
I m happy to be back though.
I m for a joint work.
I don t play with words I use them.Though I love words , so I could play with them when I like , I d rather believe I use them.I find great delight in using words .Perhaps at times I use them badly , I m sorry for this.However , within me are thoughts and feelings and words are the only material I have to use. I began using words before photography so my photographic image is growing.
My Proposal is called Construction of umwelten. The umwelt is a concept coined and invented my the german scientist and artist Jakob Von uexkull .Several umwelt make and umwelten.
Umwelt can be said to be in english the “surrounding world “or environment.In french it is “monde propre” there is a Japanese equivalent “Quismio”- which means my universe , or my space.I m just gong to use these three .I m working on other languages.
I will consider in my work the french equivalent of umwelt.This because it relates to the subjective perception of the individual of the universe taken to be everything and as well to my empirical studies.
According to Uexkull, the mind and the world are inseparable because it is within it that the world is been interpretated. He goes further to say that for the same environment different people will have different umwelten.
I find his idea fantastic because we are human beigns. Uexkull studied mostly on other organism of the animal kingdom.
I began my proposal with the sentiment of being human.
I think that humans use language , their human essence - the self, concepts, and objects to act onto the world , to interprete it as well.The idea is thus a construction as all humans are different culturally.Also because they live in different physical areas they grow up to be different physically.Finally because they speak different languages they don t perceive the world , the universe in the same way ( Sapir - whorf Hypothesis) they don t also think in the same way ( Vygotsky). Uexkull points out something of very interesting, when two umwelten interact a semiosphere is formed. A semiosphere cannot be the same as the two umwelt that made it.Taken into account laws in chemistry and the gestalt theory .
I find my self in a postion of growth , this place is new to me.my town I live in is again more new.The experience of living after haven intergrated certain things about the reality of life makes things always new- our cognitive structures are never stable.. So the contrusction of umwelten is my view point of how been a human , living with others real or imaginary changes , and has changed. My sentiment of being human now , and forever will always change.It s not eviedent our obvious as We do not know tomorrow.
Construction of umwelten is as well a reflextion on our essence generally and most on the manner we live .How the other is in our minds and how their presence influences us.The principle of interaction is fundametal in it as it is the mechanics of change be it within and without.
I d be glad to answer to your questions.
Thank you.
