La teoría del arte y sus raíces en el pensamiento mágico.pdf (original) (raw)

In the dissertation, I analyse the relationship between art theory and magical thinking. Art, the knowledge of the imaginary or magic are proposed as ways to transmit knowledge. Magical thinking is particularly useful for arts theory, thus its origin can be found in them, so it helps when it comes to understanding it. The intellectual foundation of the thesis lies in the non-dualism, not alternating one thing with its professed opposite. In the presentation I will talk about some of the problems raised by a broadly minority study in Spain, within current university trends. Non-dualism or the schools and authors that I use are not hegemonic, which is a double-edged sword. Another difficulty is maintaining the consistency in the speech, since it is an interdisciplinary thesis.
