FROM NEON-AVANTGARDE TO KOLEKTIVNE NSEAE

Kolektivne NSEAE (New Socio/Ethno/Aesthetic Anthropology) has a non-ontological legacy derived from the millennial neo-avantgarde, far from modern aesthetic ontology. The NeoN-Avant-garde, founded by me, gives in – like every other avant-garde – to «ἀντίφράσις», to «irony» (Jacques Derrida), to «citationalism», to «alienation» (Viktor Borisovič Šklovskij), to «carnivalization» (Michail Bachtin), to «mixlingualism», to «dédoublement» and «vertigo that leads to madness» (Paul De Man), to generative grammar (Noam Chomsky), to «subversion/eversion» (Stirnerian anarcho-individualism and Post-Left Anarchy), to «invective» (Villon/Brassens/De André triad) and to the extreme «social commitment» of the activists in defense of the weak and the dispossessed, in opposition to the star system of the dominant and of art. Having taken note of the conclusion of the krisis and the transition from the modern era to the new late-modern era, I recognized the urgency of the discussion on the change of historical and aesthetic «paradigm», due to the waning of the theoretical sense of modern aesthetic ontology, and admitted the anachronistic nature of the NeoN-Avant-garde, a krisis movement, I decided to found a new non-ontological movement, the Kolektivne NSEAE (New Socio/Ethno/Aesthetic Anthropology), open to all the thousand neon-avant-garde activists and to new minds capable of capturing the change of social and aesthetic «paradigm». Together with the legacy of the Neon-Avant-garde, the Kolektivne NSEAE has given itself a statute: the new «poetry-form» or the new «aesthetic paradigm» of late modernity must be based on:

1. Experimental aesthetics, derived from the Machian «thought experiment» updated by the new models of mirror neurons by Rizzolati welcomed by the very contemporary neuroaesthetics (brain imaging).

2. Participant observation, with the grafting of Meadian interactionism and Garfinkel's ethnomethodology (able to guarantee the definition of «aesthetic experience» or «riot-text, as anti-poetry» or «poetry» [the term «poetry» must be strictly deconstructed and replaced, being too compromised with the aesthetic ontology of the «ποιεῖν», of the «creative self» or Cartesian «lyrical self» of the «elegiac poets», according to a scathing definition by Giorgio Linguaglossa] as mere «social interaction»). The criticisms of Geertz, Davis and Kunda on the «reliability» of observation must be neutralized by an approach to the Grounded Theory of Glaser and Strauss. 3. Clearity, with the attempt to reconcile the analytical (Searle and Grice) and continental (Habermas) on a strategy aimed at introducing an interpretation/motivation/communication model capable of «[...] shaping or building a more regular, simpler, more perfect world[...]». The orientation is to analyze (find and eliminate) every form of vagueness in the communicative interactions of technical and ordinary language and follow the rules of Habermas introduced in order to guarantee a correct Hermeneutik of communication. The notion of clearity must reconcile the analytical and continental critical model:

a. The use of great argumentative rigor;

b. Avoiding the use of ambiguous, metaphorical or rhetorical language;

c. Considering the history of philosophy;

d. Believing in the network assemblies of researchers (the notion of research community has irremediably fallen under the criticism of the new sociology of Zygmunt Bauman, Ulrich Beck, Richard Sennett, Gilles Lipovetsky, Luciano Gallino): every argument must be discussed; cooperation becomes a requirement in the search for truth.

 


The project is part of the subthemes Re-imagining identity through poetry, Healing Narratives - Poetry, Mental Health and Collective Trauma, Cultural Resilience - Literature as a force for social justice.
