Speculations on the instrumentalization of the self
A high level of experience is available based on experience with self . There are many times when necessary, to learn, conceived as an object of study, and later as a tool to increase our knowledge about the world. I am thinking in particular, that a very educational and useful for learning is used to oneself (such as a wrench to assemble a car or a match to light a candle) to reach some understanding of things.
In the beginning, was the ritual. The man had the need to go to certain practices related to religion as a means of expression. You can find various motivations in this industry, seen from different fields of knowledge, such as release of drives (do you say that?) From psychoanalysis, identity search reaffirming itself as an individual from a group from an anthropological perspective, and even these practices can be conceived as a search rhetorical aesthetics as a means to make an impression to the other participants of the ritual. The truth is that all these elements, each complex in itself, come together in a practice "primitive."
So the man who participates in a ritual are creating, you are representing, but although it has no notion of these words is brought himself to do so. Have a conscious need to analyze the movements of impressing his thought in every gesture, and to do it the better. This is just the beginning of self-manipulation, as all the arts from their roots or it (the performance, visual arts, for example) are just a variation or an upgrade of such practices. The actors, as is common knowledge, they need exercise and considered themselves thoroughly to achieve mastery of his body, his expressions, his whole being. Those who undertake this journey, acquire knowledge necessarily double, since you first know themselves, and then, and obtained the victory, used themselves as vehicles for knowledge.
Another very interesting method of manipulation of the self are the practices or rather anthropological ethnography. A man must liberate himself from normal to assume that there are other "normal" living life, a subject that must adapt to a very different perspective on the priorities, values \u200b\u200band objects of interest is someone who learns to dive into other programming and becomes a real-life actor to study himself, and then simply as a consequence, those around him. That famous phrase it Berltolt Brecht: I thought about other heads and, in his, other heads thought. This is the real thinking. We all
anthropology to exist and coexist with other beings, the difference is that we do as a studio, so do not draw from those experiences scientific knowledge, so to speak. Living in another city, another country, forcing you to mutate, acquiring another function based on this new program is the new culture. Do it consciously, doing a thorough search and a study which calls for maximum objectivity, is a production that to me seems necessary, especially for learning and teaching. I think one, despite not being in a different environment can be used itself as a means to learn, although it is harder to question the normality others are unknown.
be oneself as a tool may seem a little insulting to some, and may breach certain ideologies, but perhaps my way of referring to this as object and instrument procedure (ie, using scientistic terms) is my mistake. What I think is to be reviewed from time to time, making inroads in the thinking and especially learning to see itself as something more than human from the anthropocentric perspective can help us find a series of responses that go beyond our immense ego.
