Mystical Survival The Geography Of The Infinitely Near

Paulo Barone's book, Mystical Survival: The Geography of the Infinitely Near , has just emerged in India for the Varanasi-Delhi Pilgrims publishing house. The book, in each of its chapters, correlates a certain aspect of western culture with one of traditional Indian culture. However, this is not a simple comparison or a pure intercultural comparison. The purpose of the correlation is rather to attempt to bring to light the enigmatic figure of the contemporary world, which seems to escape any reading and usual form of representation, and therefore almost to take measures of the new units of magnitude with which it is Presents, inscrutable, albeit in a different way, both in the East and in the West. Snapshot, caducity, stuttering, residuality, smallness - just to name a few - seem to form an unusual geographic map of things that thought can decipher exclusively by placing itself in an infinite proximity to it, in the form of "profane illumination" of "mysticism Survivors "or" crazy mourning ", the one that started" before the death of what he loves ".
