India
The works gathered together in this book were written between 1987 and 2012. These 25 years are time enough to offer not only a perspective on a personal evolution, but also to question the future of a culture not yet reflected in the new globalizing models. They do reflect, however, a reality in the process of permanent change, addressed from a series of different angles. The rasa theory within Hindu aesthetics, Eastern approaches to death, the significance of gestures in traditional dance, the relationship between Schopenhauer and Indian doctrines, the complex immersion of the subcontinent in globalized capitalism, the tree-temples at Varanasi, a matriarchal subsistence economy against the economy of production and unlimited growth, the creation of the figure of the observer to acquire insight into the varying planes of consciousness: all these subjects and many more intertwine in this book.
The four different styles (diary, poetry, essay and critical analysis) to be found here are perfectly complementary. Each responds to a way of dialoguing with reality, of provoking it, opening up to it and expressing it, so that by bringing them all together we are able to appreciate a series of perspectives which help us to imagine the complex nature of the world described within.
