Lyrical Costumes For Solos

MEMORIES - THE SCULPTURE OF TUFF Piero Ragone.




Memories "is a collection of production in tuff Piero Ragone started in 2005.

The works in the round of small and medium format, a dialogue with a series of bas-reliefs mounted on wood. The contrast between the clear yellow limestone of the Murgia and the black panels makes it even more obvious sculptural work, attentive to the shape, volume, but also to areas .


The abrasive action of grinding or enhance their texture and veins of the matter, investigated for a re-signification of value not only aesthetic.
Tuff, inert poor commonly used in construction, as well as the constituent material of the most famous Sassi of Matera, is elected through a communications footprint archaic, but contemporary design, revealing a completely new expressive possibilities.

"Memories" is also a path connecting the sediments with the anxieties of our time, found the manual with the activity of thought, reading by experimenting with a language that tends to simplify, but takes care of the complexity relational conflict arising from diversity issues affirmation of identity.
Reference
these sculptures were, not infrequently, readings, poems, publications mentioned or hinted at by simple synthetic or "quotes".

It 's the case of "We make the bread ... .. had the taste of grain" Mario Trufelli of "I am as a ball on smooth surface" Nicol Ragone (from the collection of poems "Twenty years are few"), of "Fascination" or "Source of oblivion" inspired by the story of Mimmo Sammartino "Vito danced with witches."

A further example are the motifs from the novel by Anna Teresa Laurita "Born with wings" that led to "Jeremiah" to "In-awareness" and the same "Born with Wings" (October 30 submitted, together with the book, the National Library of Power).

A mention should also "implicit memory" resulted from a conceptual change focused on a discussion with my friend, psychiatrist William Champion on the theories and theories of the scientist Wilfred Ruprecht Bion forms of consciousness of the fetal stage, preceding the birth.

Also on the read-write or better on the existential questions that are addressed, some projects are based panels whose holder has raised the topical content.

Examples are "The principle of the exemption," "Hiatus" and "Psyche and techne" eponymous volume of contemporary philosopher Umberto Galimberti or "The Witches of seven stones, even the fairy tale written by Sammartino (panel donated to the fledgling museum of the small size of Genzano di Lucania).

Connections and sculpted bodies, to try the feelings and psychology, fields such as endless intellectual par excellence. And here
back the need for communication with the difficulty of understanding, the flaws of interpretation, the filters, the instrumental use of words.
a dynamic that goes an intense commitment in production regional information office of the RAI for Basilicata in non-verbal language the result of investigation, stimuli, thoughts and impulses of nature above all very personal. A feeling that shows
questions in an attempt to reach deeper levels of knowledge and awareness, with reduction of complexity to the essential or procedures specific to other approaches (Zen simplification, the monotone of the tuff clear opposition to the darkness of the black).

Signs and substance, outside and inside, surface and interior, light and volume in space show that the thinness of the line, its purity, its curves gathered in shape. The sediment
, history, past the current round, live again in the action of recovery and reconsideration.
The search for harmony seems to indicate the consolidation of this as a premise for future opportunities not denied or impaired.
An order of things, of nature and humanity, where the capital of energy that keeps every identity is not asking to be shared in a balanced relationship with the other who does not want and can not disregard the right to ' love.

Sculpting - play with the material - carve, meet the material - inspect - groped to establish a relationship - find clues.
dialogue starts from a retail a "hinge point" around which will rotate that block will be saved and will remain "in contact" at that point and all other references dimensional, formal, volume, light exposure, as well as attention. My intrigue is to solve the structure of the consistency between tracks and body sculpting. In the approach pursued so far, the alternating zones polished, smoothed, rounded, almost molded with ribbed bands, sharp, rough, winding or dug from "action temporally important," maximize the finding of a contrast, intact and lived in secret and revealed, the mystery and the complaint of pain and tender intense. A dichotomy that could go beyond viewing. An assertion of a difference, perhaps irreconcilable, but present, latent, often painful. Signs of conflicts, contradictions, misunderstandings, and yet difficult coexistence rooted, widespread, silent. Dual nature that contradict each other, face each other, fighting for a head it almost never becomes final supremacy. Or maybe a legitimacy that the dialectic may find its logic, its composition, its explanation, or only a semblance of plausibility. What hurts the pain, anguish, fear ... ... How much pleasure, enjoyment, self-satisfaction ... .. How far is the harmony, the right balance. If that meeting by removing, chipping, consuming accept it, satisfies me, I believe in it, is approaching the idea of \u200b\u200bstarting or its variations during construction (derived, I believe, from my feeling, from my being, from I know from my proto-verbal? experience-knowledge is not necessarily conscious, then implied? but dialoguing with tuff), then I also try to name it, to increase her "power" to witness, to reinforce their sense, intercept , even with only one or a few words, the essence, scope, which suggests to me more .... what he has evoked, what "has somatization. The language is is composed. The disembodied reaches its existence. (The pleasure of creating your own second measure is indescribable). The presence lends to the story, allusion to the synthesis of research that can go to the assertion mimesis. And 'this course true, but every time variable, so alive, to give most of my port connected to the sculpture. A path of assimilation, references, quotes, more or less explicit, and note that for me is what I'm living and that is, or has just happened, or I read during that time for the piece (a few hours, days or weeks ...). Sculpture pad, box, history ... History of the subject I preceded, in advance, record, store .... Matter regains function, medium, means, expedient solid, concrete, tactile (non-volatile) and that puts me at stake and that, somehow, through this re-live my call on the field. New cars, poised between past and present in the making. A bridge between the first (his story) and after (since recovering from a use or exhausted from virgin quarried ashlar) with any further commingling, contamination, and discoveries. New ground of comparison-exchange identity, enrichment of the inorganic mnemonic host-that lends itself to be something living, organic, organic. Bio-transmutation of inertia of aggregate freed from captivity in atavistic instincts, cemented amalgam dall'asfittico calcarenitic and recovered to the gesture, movement, expression, symbol, meaning a possible, but not all, indistinct, generic. One of the possibilities of re-returned to the scene of humanity (if ever there was already a ....), This time with a low probability of reply or recycling ... constraints, as never before, to a sense, accurate, said, not necessarily shared, nor universal. But what, then his own, decided by a craftsman, who can also change it at will. Just a title, a phrase, a word. That key or those excuses are part of a puzzle, simple or complex, clear or complicated. However unique, personal, direct first for him, then the other, the other for himself. What is fantasy, thinking, games, text, diary, precisely, node, history, consciousness, feeling, emotion, doubt thrill those who can say? Responses, correspondence, motivation, rejection, approval is an issue of the public, not the author, however, like to be the protagonist, the better, if recognized. The wit, such as video editing, may be the choice - between all the endless possibilities and combinations - the name associated with the form. The pair-title work can remain a secret exercise of authority (Projections, evocations, representations, appeals, personal paraphrase ... .. more or less direct and / or aware of). Or simply the suggestion, the didacticism, the 'help', which simplifies the reading and the revelation that the work should already have transferred or terminated. Obviously, the most addictive game is to sow "clues" that if at first it was only the matter and, even after they become "their" author, an expression of what lives and also the experience of that work sculpture condensed in that particular piece. A sort of reduction "zen" time point, when that fails to represent and express everything. Solid concrete, metamorphosis and interpretation of the brain, somatization of thought, otherwise fleeting and elusive as life ....

Lyrical Costume Pattern

Like a diver who dives in himself: sounds, noises and voices amniotic universe, and underwater protomental William Champion


As a man of the Middle Ages, the fetus tells of a journey into a world of wonders, not as those who lived through the experience directly, but as those who have learned by reading the pages of a great book.

M. Mancia


Everything is built from the water, thanks to 'water every home will live!
Serbaci your eternal work, Ocean


Goethe, Faust The


An old Hindu legend says that there was a time when all men were gods.
But they were so abused their divinity that Brahma - Lord of the gods - he decided to deprive them of the divine power and to hide in a place where it was impossible find it.
The big problem was to find a hiding place.
When g them children were gathered in council to solve this dilemma, they proposed the following thing: "bury man's divinity on Earth."
However Brahma replied: "No, not enough. Because man will dig and find himself. "
gods, then, replied: "In this case, the gods throw in more depths of the ocean. "
And again Brahma replied, "No, because sooner or later man will explore the cavities of all oceans, and surely one day and find himself back on the surface".
The children then concluded: "We do not know where to hide, because there seems to be - on land or at sea - a place that no man can once reach." And so
Brahma said, "That's what we will do the divinity of man: I will hide in his deepest and most secret, because is the only place where he will never think to look for. "
Since that time, the legend concludes, the man has made the circumnavigation of the earth, exploring, climbing mountains, digging the ground and is surrounded by seas in search of something that lies within him.

Introduction

For many years one of my scientific interests was the study of non-ordinary states of consciousness and the effects of sound mind.
All human experience modification of consciousness, in my opinion are related to our primary experience and somatic proto par excellence: the amniotic experience.
I would like to pres entare a new element of my research is important for such studies but also for a deeper understanding of perceptual experience underwater.
Plato, on which the essence of Western spirituality, has written a very interesting sound effects on the mind.
He believed that the experience of the transformation of mental state (mania) could be likened to the experience of a kind of inner movement that called Kinesis. Music and dance should be understood in accordance with Plato as an external shock, Seismos, able to bring calm to the general emotional state of the cosmos. L and mothers who are trying to lull their babies, cradling them (kinesin) by swinging their arms (seiousai) as they sing their songs and so enchant them (kataulosi) and calms them. Plato's 'was undefeated in what neuroscientists of the twentieth century would have called "the phenomenon of dragging sound?.
The first experience of human beings in the womb is also our first experience immersive and is our first experience hearing in the water. To be more precise primordial sensory mode of perception was mainly tactile, proprioceptive and auditory.
What we have experienced before birth?
Bliss ocean (the oceanic feeling referred to the correspondence between Freud and Rolland) in the primary or 'immersion in amnion. "I wish you were in the water to swim naked as a fetus that mimics the his great desire for peace, "wrote the great composer George Gershwin.Il feeling of infinity, from Schleiermacher understood as the basis of religion as distinct from institutional religion, is none other than the nostalgia of the child's preoedipal, when the child is not yet able to perceive a boundary between herself and her mother.
We have also experienced, as we shall see, the importance of prosody, the study of rhythm, tone and intonation of voice that allows us to go beyond the meaning of words, to under-stand our world better emotional and feel more in touch with it.



This is the answer to Freud gave Rolland, who invited him to distinguish the "oceanic feeling" of organized religion (the "oceanic feeling" of Rolland was tantamount to the feeling of infinity of Schleiermacher and the sense of the mystery of Bobbio).

As adults, we can compete with other experiences such as scuba diving and that of the floatation tanks are designed not only as sports or relaxation but also as research and discovery of unconscious dimension of mind. "Learn first to calm the spirit, and then to relax the body, then drop down into yourself,
as a diver, "said Monaco Dugpas Tibetan Rinpoche.

sounds, voices and noises underwater amniotic

By the 24th week of life, the fetus is already "listening" to the sounds in his environment liquid. Immersed in amniotic fluid, this little creature is driven by the desire to communicate with the mother's voice, to maintain this connection uninterrupted canal and establish a relationship with her.
The child swims in this universe aquatic sounds and noises inside, occasionally punctuated by the music of his mother's voice. He must learn to stretch your ears in order to reestablish a dialogue with that voice.

The ear receives directly the frequencies of amniotic gurgling sound from its environment, while the noise and outside sounds are heard indirectly passing through the abdominal wall of the mother.
The fetus literally lives what he feels, whatever you know this world is fluid.
In the past, scientists have noted the sound of the heartbeat more than what we do today. On the contrary, we believe that the heartbeat is a form of white noise - a constant sound power within a broadband sound fixed - which is probably only heard by the fetus when to fold disappears.
The fetus, in contrast, more than one connection with hearing the rhythmic sound of maternal breath, more varied, and like a wave when it hits the shore.
This is a sound similar to that issued by the diver underwater hearing by its self.
During pregnancy, the sounds are filtered through the liquid amniotic fluid and changes occur in the sound vibrations. The high-pitched sounds are processed through this filter effect, while the sounds above 500 Hz remain unchanged. The fetus seems to be more responsive to low frequencies, such as the cello and double bass, and less to those of violins and flutes. The bass sounds are conducted through bone conduction and the second Tomatis have a hypnotic power and somewhat distressing and crippling, acting mainly on the maze, sull'autopercezione space and body schema. The voice of the mother originates in the larynx, it spreads along the vertebrae by bone conduction, spreads nell'amnios and finally reaches your ear.
The body of the mother is the critical element in the transmission of sound between the outside world and her unborn child. I outside sounds, like the voices of his father and brothers, are perceived in an attenuated form. Amniotic fluid deforms less than the mother's voice, while maintaining intonation and rhythm, and this perhaps explains why the fetus has a predilection for women's voices, especially if they sing.



In an important essay about Mary D'Agostino pointed out that listening is therefore an important component of the primary relationship, as the element that allows recognition of the mother after the birth: " ... show the baby to make sense of particular benefit to reflected sound prenatal postnatal sound (meaning of enchantment). [...]
D'Agostino called the recognition of sound in the prenatal postnatal life as the primary acoustic experience speculating. It is a specification of the different experiences in the primary which means the bond between the womb and the extrauterine life. " This leads us to suppose that the child at birth, already owns a sound memory of the outside world and that in the transition from hearing to listening fetal normal time to recognize the maternal voice is an experience founding.
In this regard, said Andre-Thomas D'Agostino has created an experiment called "the proof of the name 'means a child of p ochi day is put down on a table - this is possible because up to ten days the child has unforte muscle tone - surrounded by a group of adults, including parents , pronouncing his name, one at a time. The small no reactions until they speak their mother, then his body leans and falls in the direction of the maternal voice.


The importance of sound as a vehicle in the mother-child emotional and symbolic representation from an Indian myth that Karma, son of the Sun, born maternal ear. This body are assigned the same values \u200b\u200bas opposed mother archetype, the image of the mother bearer of life and death is the Egyptian symbolism of the ear, according to which the right ear receives the breath of life and left the breath of death.
The primary role of which is the sound experience in the early stages of human life has a symbolic representation of creation myths.
in the cosmogony sound, as a sigh, sing, shout, thunder or word of the creator deity, is the basis of the birth of the world: "The source from which emanates the world is always a sound source. [... ] This sound was born from the Void, is the result of a thought that shakes the Nothing, and propagating itself, creates the space. It is a monologue whose sound body is the first noticeable manifestation of the Unseen. The gap is thus a primordial 'fund resonance', and the sound that comes to be regarded as the first creative force, which in most is embodied in the mythologies of the singers. "
We can therefore read as a metaphor in the creation myths of the original experience of being human, the sound enters the prenatal life and is, probably, the first ; experience of the world that the individual, before you even see the world at birth. The god who created the universe through sound that is the mother figure in his own voice is a bridge between the uterus and the outside world. This is an extremely important and through significant as it represents an element continuity between two very different experiences and separated from the trauma of birth and at the same time, it has the same effect as the sound in the cosmogony gives life to the individual and helps him make the transition from one form of existence another: "The significance of the magical sound prenatal center is the explanation in the setting up of a signifier of intrauterine life, understood as a lost paradise.
already listened to the sound heard in the prenatal situation after the disaster of the birth, the newborn seems to give him the sign of the discovery [...] of property lost. " The sound of the maternal voice is thus not only a link between two modes of play, but it also allows to link the sound image of the world who takes prenatal and after birth is constructed through visual perception. The primary form of knowledge seems to be of sound rather than visual listening intrauterine probably has a archetypal foundation.
After the birth of the universe of sound objects gradually turns into a world of objects-images,
each sound is assigned to an image. In light of these data, we could say that the Platonic conception of knowledge as a form of reminiscence is the hooks in the most important recent studies of prenatal psychology, speaking of tracks mnesti-that some experiences in life fetal
"We can thus see that the way a child knows the world, which for him is the mother, is much more fascinating and complex c ^ i than has been generally imagined in the minds of philosophers "(12). Figure mother with her voice is a filter between the child and the world, this filter will become the latest language, a tool of communication and knowledge.
At birth, the child discovers himself to have a sound, just like his mother, and this discovery will begin the path towards language. The evolution of language in the infant can happen by listening to their voice and that of the adult. It is said that Frederick II was very interested in the origin of language, so one day she decided to take a experiment. To give some nurses of newborns and ordered women not to utter a word in the presence of children: they had to take care of them, feed them and breed them in perfect silence.
In this way, thought the king, the children could develop that envisioned by the universal language philosophy of time. The children all died, indicating that there was no king at Inc. language of this kind. This experience, which is located between history and legend, makes us reflect on the importance of communication in the structuring of early object relations, communication that is configured primarily as a sound communication and only later becomes language:
"A phylogenetic level, we speak of the primacy of rhythm on the meaning, because the pace has Originally affective meaning, while the significance of a cognitive sense. [...] The first child takes the rhythmic drive and then takes the semantic unit. The primary relationship of the acoustic quality that has become part of the affective-cognitive structures and voice and listening, in fact, are closely linked, not only by a relationship of cause and effect, but also in their affective-emotional connotation and their relationship with cognitive function.
The way an individual relates to sound, and in particular to the sound of the universe most significant sound the human voice, can reveal much about their perinatal experiences, but can also reveal as has been developed The sound of his primary relationship, if was marked by harmony or discord, if there are was the silence, if you are products of growing too excited.
The mother figure is therefore arises as a central element in the story of hearing and sound connotes with its two founding moments in the structuring of the child psyche: the primal scene and the oedipal situation.
According to some scholars, the child perceives the voice of his father during the intrauterine life: "In addition to the voice of the mother, the fetus and the newborn child receive her father's voice. The baby shows to recognize the voice of the father in postnatal life, provided that it has been able to perceive some words with some regularity and frequency in prenatal life "
The characters of the story is the basis of the psychic life of the child, structure and organization, all are therefore already present since the prenatal period.
But what is the role of sound in the fantasies and what part is of the same drawing?
While hearing is a form of active perception in the early months of fetal life, then the structure primary knowledge would involve sharing the sound element. The predisposition to listen is an element that can have a decisive archetypal in the sense that if there are - as Jung - the primordial images, linked to the fundamental experiences of mankind, there are probably even the sounds associated with those same experiences.
The primal scene, D'Agostino points out-as it is configured by Freud is an element that is very close to the concept of archetypal image. It is part of what Freud calls the primal fantasies:
"Where's events do not fit the pattern of inheritance, bearing in
ghost a re [...] These are precisely the cases
appropriate to show the independent existence of the scheme. We
often note that the pattern prevails individual existence [...] seems
that the contradictions between the experience and the pattern provide ample
relating to conflicts childhood. If we now consider the issues encountered
originating in ghosts (the primal scene, castration, seduction), it was
affected by a common feature: they all refer to the origins. Like
of collective myths, they tend to make a representation and a
'solution' to what the child is presented as an enigma
fundamental, as they dramatize time of emergency, as
source of a story, what the subject is a reality problem
that demands an explanation, a 'theory'. In the 'primal scene' is
depicts the origin of the subject in the fantasies of seduction, the origin,
emergence of sexuality;
in ghosts castration The origin of the difference of the sexes "

Freud argues that the perception (noise, animal intercourse) can somehow steer the child in the preparation of primal scene. Is it possible that in reality the individual primal scene has been heard, seen in the dark or through a wall or a door ajar. If there is a prenatal form of memory that allows the recognition, more so the events of the first months of postnatal life may have been recorded through a more mature auditory perception than sight. The primal scene could therefore have a strong emotional connotation hearing as much as the image: listening to the voices of parents during intercourse can be connected only after the scene "view", that image. The memory trace of the voices of parents, heard during the fetal life, evolves and structure after birth, after attaching the image, that then becomes prevalent. In this way, you might be the memory: a series of memory traces to bring a strong emotional potential and develop the associations are structured fantasies, perhaps already existing. The archetypal dimension can be the element that organizes the memory of the primal scene.
And in the re- the memory is all the originality and uniqueness of the individual: "The reproduction of memory is rarely a mechanical fact, it has the prerogative of poetic license, it reflects the personality of the speaker, it is often imaginative, and sometimes gives us examples immortal creation. "
The location of the sound has a fundamental step in human experience, represented by the music. It is like the only form of pure listening, without images, and this makes it close to the roots of our being.
interpretation of this unique experience and common to all men - said of Augustine, yet we can trace the myth of Orpheus. He was a poet and singer, son of Apollo and Calliope, which with the sweetness of his song tame wild beasts, the rivers stopped and was followed by the plants and even stones. One day his beloved wife Eurydice died, Orpheus descended into Hades to his research.
Pluto and Persephone, rulers of Hades, moved by the sound of his lyre granted him to bring his wife in life, a condition that he not turn around to look at her until they reached the sunlight.
The end is known, Orpheus turned around and lost Eurydice forever.
D'Agostino cites very suggestive interpretation of Franco Fornari of myth.
descended into the womb is to return to recover the original unity with the mother. Euridice is the mother figure. Dall'Ade exit, return to the light, means to be born, but with the birth mother is lost forever, the symbiosis with her body. "Orpheus loses Eurydice ... turning to look at because you can look at the face mother after being born, and then only after lost his mother. [...] As Orpheus, then, the baby can not bring his mother with him. However, the sound allows him to recover, meaning, what is lost instead of the original, that is the sound that is the mother. "
The sound, therefore, is a thread that leads us back to remote areas of our being on the edge of the myth, the myth staff of each of us. The way this thread has unraveled over time reveals our history, where there is full of attentive listening and empathy.

When and where these experiences are stored in the brain?

Through the neurosciences, we discovered that in addition to form of autobiographical memory, called "explicit memory" we also have an "implicit memory" - an unconscious system of record that we can not bring to consciousness and verbalize (ineffability of the experience).
We can therefore assume that the experiences of our first two years of life are stored as "implicit memory" in the amygdala, neuronal nuclei located deep within the medial temporal lobes of the brain. Research has shown that it is taking place primarily in the amygdala and the storage of emotional reactions. The hippocampus, in fact, the main component of the brain that plays a role in long-term memory, does not become fully mature until after the second year of life.

Sounds aquatic aspects of ethnology and ethnomusicology.

sounds related to water and its flow, are imitated by countless indigenous instruments from around the world such as rain sticks, bells, wood and bone, blood vessels in Nigeria with two holes (Udu) or pumpkins surrounded by water
the Calabash or drum water. This is a half-emptied and dried pumpkin upside down in the water seal and beaten. The Calabash is a popular tool among the peoples of Asia, West and Central Africa and America. In Central America the Calabash is present near the Yaqui, an indigenous population of very old Mexican state of Sonora, which retains many features of traditional Mexican culture. The drum water èutilizzato by other ethnic groups closer to the Yaqui Indians: the Maya, the Seri and the Tarahumaras. In Africa the drum is called water Filendundun Jidundun and usually played by women and people of Senofo and Malinke. In Mali èsuonato during wedding ceremonies while in Guinea Bissau and Guinea Conakry èusato to invoke the rain. In some African ethnic groups of Burkina Faso has played only at funerals. ("Elijah took his mantle, rolled and struck it with the waters," the Bible, 2 Kings - Chapter 1, 8) In Chinese culture, mums, are usually made to dwell in "centers tranquility. "often built near the banks of rivers, and chosen so that the mother plays nice sounds and this helps to promote feelings of peace and pleasure in her unborn child.
In Japanese culture in the practice of tai-kyo ", parents and close relatives of the unborn child, speak to the child in the womb as a way to transmit knowledge.
in all Eastern cultures, sounds unpleasant during pregnancy is strictly prohibited.
Learning the language is first and foremost a music education prenatal occurred underwater.

Eastern culture had guessed what science has recently discovered: the first nine months of life affects the rest of our lives from the point of view of language: Children learn the language since the womb. According to research by Kathleen Wermke University of Würzburg, in Germany published in Current Biology, 5 November 2009, their first cry, the children already speak the language of their parents.
The tone is increased in children in French and German waning, according to the melody of the two languages. Children in France, for example, tend to cry with a more melodic contour, with a low tone at the beginning and at the high end while the Germans follow the pattern reversed. According to experts, this "melody" refers to the characteristics of the mother tongue. "For example, when you say 'Papa' in German, the emphasis is on the first syllable, while the French do the opposite"
And since the plant was tested at three days of life, conclusion is that children have absorbed the stress during pregnancy.
Voices and music can in fact be heard by the child from the third quarter of life intrauterina.L 'mental activity of the fetus is so focused on listening. In this way, he recognizes the mother's feelings, empathize with her through his sounds and learning to understand his emotional life and emotional. to the fetus is an experience of deep and comprehensive, which helps to train and develop his mind.
The mind must be learned.
Nature does not give us a mind to learn but is the actual learning process that creates the mind. Thus, the mind is not a consequence of the evolution of the brain, but the reverse.
"We do not learn experience, we learn from this experience. "(Bion 1962)

The fetus feels prosodic aspects of" motherese "as a chant that is characterized by the unwitting use of elongated vowels, rhythm, slow, long pauses, repetition, emphasis and exaggeration of the accents.
In "motherese" the message is the same melody. In this mode of communication, feelings and intentions of the speaker are, thus, easily interpretable. It seems plausible to assume, therefore, that "motherese" is the result of an evolutionary strategy aimed behavioral optimization and protection of the mother-child relationship.
"In the beginning was the sound, say the first words of the Gospel of St. John. You could also add with Franco Fornari:. "And the sound was with his mother and sound was the mother

It is possible to retrieve the music mode of early dialogue between mother and son in adult life?


The Italian psychoanalyst Mauro Mancia argued that attention to the prosodic aspects of this initial dialogue - rhythm, melody and tone of voice - is a means of higher quality attention to the meaning of words to contact the emotional dimension of human experience.
As a man of the Middle Ages, the fetus tells of a journey into a world of wonders, not as those who lived through the experience directly, but as those who have learned by reading the pages of a great book . This metaphor helps us to understand the workings of memory implied.
Mancha has dedicated his last work before his death "sound Archives implicit memory and musicality of the transference " "to composers and musicians of all time who taught me to listen to the music of words. "
Mancha says, "Listening to music has matured in me a new sensitivity. I reduced my attention to the semantics of words, and I emphasized my interest for their musicality. This allowed me to acquire a special sensitivity to the unconscious world, not just the things said by the patient but for the tone, timbre, and volume of voice and structuring ; musical language. This is important because these elements psychoanalytic transference of affective communication between patient and analyst repeated the musical mode that characterized the early relationship between mother and child as a vehicle for the feelings and emotions.

2) 's experience of' diving.

The only way that we as adults to repeat the first dive in amnion is the experience of a "second birth" through scuba diving.
Gargiulo As he notes: "The sound of small stones or sand, the movements of fish, the vibration of 'water, aquatic primary trigger the memory of the experience.
is for this "awakening" of our primordial unconscious memory
we can experiencing, when we dive, a state of relaxation, drowsiness or fear. This depends on the emotional quality of our experience in amnion.
In diving we use our ears to perceive the elements that we can not see. It must be said that water in the full potential of our perception is clouded distal. We have, however, of a greater sense of body position in space, a two-dimensional depth perception with respect to that land as well as a more intense perception of the sound of our breathing and heartbeat visceral and kinaesthetic sensations.
This condition forces us to a greater concentration on our inner world.
is why the 'diving experience is introspective.
According to Gargiulo while on the ground, we do not feel the resistance of air, underwater, otherwise, we feel the presence of 'water through the pressure on our skin. This experience forces us perceptive proximal to a perception of the other we "starting with the physical environment. In water we can not continue to cultivate the ideal megalomanic and self-centered "existence only us," so common in terrestrial life!
underwater experience tactile perception of the presence and pressure on the skin suggests that Didier Anzieu described in his famous essay on the ego-skin. The sound experience water may have been primarily a tactile experience in compliance and ontogenetic aspects embryogenetic who want to be the first skin-relationship to the world body to form first-born from the same embryo package from which the originerà nervous system. In particular, the sound experience of the mother's voice could have been a first experience of embracing Sound can begin to define the boundaries mental and somatic, a proto identity, a first draft of the Ego. Through touch, therefore, we feel the existence of the first and best from us but also the dependence and independence from it. To return to the diving experience, we feel more the existence of water, we must build on our set-immersive (which most experts do not know very well just be a result of postural technique but also of mental state-cardio-respiratory system), but we also feel the Our powerful feelings of dependence on water and the possible anxiety that this can generate. With these considerations I would like to join in the debate opened by Gargiulo with his recent essay on the experience of fear in water. On the one hand the source of irrational panic, not otherwise explained by procedural errors or close encounters with dangerous marine species or interpreted as such or in the encountering adverse environmental conditions such as underwater currents etc. ..), I think is attributable to a 'sudden re-emergence of proto emotional mental ego dystonic fragments dating from traumatic emotional experiences of the mother transmitted in amnion (which unfortunately we do not have much control) and the other a possible exacerbation of conflicts inherent in the area of \u200b\u200baddiction- autonomy.
If, in fact, the physiological interconnection and interdependence of human beings is not accepted may not be sufficiently well accepted, even the fundamental dependence of our life from the water during the dive, giving rise to feelings of claustrophobic panic generators (being forced to remain there, in water, especially if a significant depth for the time allowed by the dive tables, etc...) As my instructor said once a diver, "we must learn to suffer more over there" (something more difficult for males, less genetically gifted females dell'endorfine anxiolytic and analgesic) because if we are wrong in deep water, we can only give the bottom of the patient acceptance of forced dependence on the environment in which we find ourselves if we are to emerge safe and sound.

3) The mind, the experience of water floating second
, J. Lilly.
It seems interesting for a diver interested in the mental aspects of this experience, as well as technical ones, can offer the knowledge of the experience of floating as it is not immersive experience, because I think it has the undoubted elements in common with the underwater experience from the mental point of view (the parasympathetic relaxation response for example) although the experience of the second floating Lilly goes well beyond these similarities to the horizons of sensory deprivation, the change in mental status and autonomic functioning.
working in the laboratories of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), Lilly, a psychiatrist, neurophysiologist and psychoanalyst (1915-2001) U.S., he found a large tank used during World War II to the survey on divers. He decided to adapt it to their purposes in order to better study the effects of sensory deprivation on the human brain and altered states of consciousness. The scientific debate at that time concerned the possibility that the human brain ceases to function in the absence of sensory stimuli. To investigate this possibility, John Lilly tried to turn this bowl into a tool that can minimize the external stimuli. Originally, the tank allows the investigator to remain in a vertical position, but later continued his studies up to a horizontal position. The tank was filled with water saturated with salt magnesium sulfate, constantly maintained at body temperature in order to eliminate the tactile sensation. The body of the experimenter was thus to float in zero gravity in an isothermal liquid. The absence of other stimuli was ensured by isolating the tank from outside noise and light. " John Lilly secretly hoping the tub on itself, carrying his body in the absence of stimuli for many hours at a time. From this experience he realized that not only the brain stops working, or rather the waterline had given the impression of deeper sleep he had ever tried. Furthermore, in the absence of external stimuli the brain tended to induce a state deep dream, which sometimes manifests itself even hallucinations. Further experiences allowed him to explore the deepest recesses of his conscience, and to go where few other humans have dared " Floating with no other distractions we now start to focus on their inner perceptions and you are immersed in own mind. After tens of hours of experience, I met the phenomena that were previously described by various literature. I went through was like a dream, trance-like states, mystical states. In all these states was totally intact, center, was there. At no time lost consciousness experiment. Part of me always knew that I was suspended in the dark and silent.
I went through experiences that other people apparently joined me in this dark and quiet environment. I could really see, hear, and listen to them. Other times I passed through sequences of dreams, daydreams, as they call them now, they look at things happen. Other times it seemed to me tune into communications networks that are normally below our level of awareness. "
Recent research shows the effects of buoyancy on memory and learning, when, in fact, neurons mnemic circuits work with the synchronization neuronal circuits responsible for producing EEG theta waves (parasympathetic response Trofo-trophic relaxation, daydreaming, drowsiness, how ideational associative learning and memory formation), it seems that memories can be no more vivid consciousness and lasting. Scientific research has shown that floating increases the secretion of endorphins, and what happens when they decrease the neuro-chemical carriers of stress, such as adrenaline, north-pinefrina, ACTH and cortisol - substances that can cause tension, anxiety and irritability, lead to hypertension and increased cholesterol level. Another theory is that endorfinergica neurochemistry. When a woman is pregnant, produces an amount of 8 times the normal endorphin, which is why the fetus feels a prenatal bliss. When a test subject's experience of floating and suspended in the dense part, the hot solution, surrounded by darkness, the brain releases endorphins: it is possible that this was the neurochemical and somatic state corresponding to revive (the experience implicit memory can only be relived not remember in the classic sense of the word) somatic archaic perceptions protomental . Do not you remember, is alive with the body (implicit memory or procedural, not repressed unconscious of La Mancha).
Director Ken Russell based his film "Altered States" (1980) on the findings of Lilly and most recently Steven Spielberg movie "Minority Report" (2002) three mutants that are permanently immersed the Temple of the Precog, a triple-shaped buoyancy tank wye (Y) in order to improve their ability to predict the crimes that are going to happen, otherwise known as, precognition.
In the late fifties Lily investigates the human-dolphin communication, creating a center at the Virgin Islands in which to start this type of research. In the early sixties he published the material in which he reported that dolphins have the ability to reproduce human phonetic patterns.
Lilly argued that "in the province of the mind, what is true or believes it is, or becomes so within the limits established by empirical and experimental . These limits are beliefs to be transcended" , meaning that the human mind has no limits and that any conviction that was not a limit that could be overcome.
