Teresa Vergani: nomadismo, insubordinação, complexidade
The thesis presents some ideas on dialogism, life, and knowledge from the work of the mathematician, plastic artist and Portuguese writer Teresa Vergani. The intellectual course, academic and artistic production of Vergani reinforce Edgar Morin’s statement about the inseparability between life and ideas. Of transdisciplinary nature, Teresa Vergani reconnects emotion and reason, private and universal, nature and culture, science and tradition, history and mythologies. It is a masterpiece open to different fields of knowledge. The goal of this thesis is to share a nomadic formative itinerary that reinforces the reconnection of Science, Arts, Spirituality, and Education. In Vergani cohabit incompleteness, uncertainty, ambivalence, paradox. Her approach to the matrix of the complexity sciences is due to the fact that, as early as the 1980s, she was a reader of authors like Henri Atlan, Edgar Morin, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Ilya Prigogine, among others. The categories of insubordination and nomadism present themselves in this work as operators of thought capable of illuminating reflections conducted by the author regarding her way of comprehending the individual, education, cultural diversity, the world. The work has as a major reference the books of Teresa Vergani; creates a communication channel with thinkers registered in the Science of Complexity; exposes a kaleidoscope of cultural experiences that Vergani gained access to throughout her research; reports testimonies from Vergani’s friends and researchers built under friendship and admiration. Finally, it discusses broadly the precepts of a complex based and transdisciplinary education, driven by ethics, aesthetic, attention to the diverse and universal structures of cultures and respect for the resistance of plural knowledge.
