| description | We shall first get ourselves interested in the mechanisms of symbolic thought in its origins and emergence. It brings out a capacity to be ≪ two-headed ≫ : a logical head and an intuitive head working simultaneously. The Gestalttheorie (theory of the form) enables us to understand that primitive man perceives a biface, a cut stone laden, as it were, with a force in the same time as he proves aware of his ability to modify the shape of the object: the idea of the beautiful is created. The development of those symbolic structures within Mediterranean societies brings to the surface a large permanence in the conjuring up of the imagining of matter, always combining intuition and logic, ≪ feminine ≫ and ≪ masculine ≫ symbolism. The same process culminates in poetic creation, by way of a dialogue between an inspired liberty and the formal constraints of writing : an essentially oxymoric dimension, corresponding to what G. Bachelard calls the imagining activity. |
