“GNOTHI SEAUTON”
Rendering Unconscious – Psychoanalytic Perspectives, Politics & Poetry (edited by Vanessa Sinclair)

In times of crisis, one needs to stop and ask, “How did we get here?” Our contemporary chaos is the result of a society built upon pervasive systems of oppression, discrimination and violence that run deeper and reach further than most understand or care to realize. These draconian systems have been fundamental to many aspects of our lives, and we seem to have gradually allowed them more power. However, our foundation is not solid; it is fractured and collapsing – if we allow that. We need to start applying new models of interpretation and analysis to the deep-rooted problems at hand.

“Rendering Unconscious” brings together international scholars, psychoanalysts, psychologists, philosophers, researchers, writers and poets; reflecting on current events, politics, the state of mental health care, the arts, literature, mythology, and the cultural climate; thoughtfully evaluating this moment of crisis, its implications, wide-ranging effects, and the social structures that have brought us to this point of urgency.

Hate speech, Internet stalking, virtual violence, the horde mentality of the alt-right, systematic racism, the psychology of rioting, the theater of violence, fake news, the power of disability, erotic transference and counter-transference, the economics of libido, Eros and the death drive, fascist narratives, psychoanalytic formation as resistance, surrealism and sexuality, traversing genders, and colonial counterviolence are but a few of the topics addressed in this thought-provoking and inspiring volume.

“Serei eu o autor da minha vida?”
Revista três três n.º 8

A ideia para a redacção deste texto-devaneio, em jeito de registo auto-confessional, germinou numa avernosa tarde de Agosto, enquanto passeava pelas ruas de Banguecoque, cidade de imensos contrastes. Por entre o imaculado tom laranja das vestes dos monges budistas, através dos reflexos áureos dos templos da capital tailandesa, impregnavam-se-me as narinas de odores nauseabundos, levemente entrecortados pelo aroma adocicado das especiarias. Provindo de Kuala Lumpur e em trânsito com destino a Jacarta, acompanhado de uma permanente sensação de angústia, a minha mente mergulhou num vórtice e os pensamentos começaram a girar em torno de uma única questão: porque carga de água vim eu parar aos confins do Sudeste Asiático?

“O Sono da Digestão Engendra Monstros – esquisso de uma gastroescatologia onírica”
 Revista três três n.º 7

Este texto-devaneio (sintomático dos impiedosos desarranjos gástricos que me molestam por entre o entrecruzamento paganizante das Estações) toma como inspiração directa os seguintes aspectos: a) uma afirmação homofóbica proferida por um compositor relativamente a um edil (entretanto desaparecido), suposto arauto da divisa “O corpo humano é um tubo”; b) a prática semanal do Chi Kung, uma disciplina oriental que me tem possibilitado aquilo que considero um melhor entendimento sobre a dualidade corpo/mente; c) a primeira citação em epígrafe a este texto (como todos os bons nativos do quarto signo do Zodíaco – no qual estou incluído – também Proust, teve uma propensão para problemas de estômago e indigestões); d) a figura acéfala, “ex-libris” de Georges Bataille, tatuada no meu braço direito em 2012, aquando de uma passagem fugaz por Nova Iorque.

“Aleister Crowley”
Revista BANG! n.º 21 / Novembro 2016
Publicação bianual da editora Saída de Emergência e um exclusivo FNAC.

“Of course in my conscious self I am always stupid, but the Magus who uses me knows his job”, escrevia Aleister Crowley no seu livro The Confessions of Aleister Crowley: An Autohagiography. Perante esta afirmação somos levados a deduzir que Crowley estaria ciente de que iria permanecer uma figura influente depois da sua morte. Volvidas sete décadas após a mesma constata-se que a escolha do seu “magical motto” (nome místico), Frater Perdurabo, conteve um certo grau de presciência, ou então pelo menos uma intuição bastante aguçada à qual se aliava um ego desmesurado…

Blurb/Short text: What is the real meaning of globalization seen from an intercultural perspective? Can the “either”/“or” logic be overcome, when seen from the angle of intercultural approach? Intercultural Exchanges in the Age of Globalization volume tries to explore both the already-mentioned alternatives, and the legitimacy of the dilemma “per se”, thus underlining the complexity and diversity of intercultural exchanges in an age of globalization.

Between 12 and 18 May 2014, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu (ROMENIA) celebrated 45 years of uninterrupted tradition of higher education in Sibiu. The Center for Philological and Intercultural Research (CPIR), set up in 2005 at the Faculty of Letters and Arts, promoted the international conference, entitled “Intercultural Exchanges in the Age of Globalization”. The Conference was addressed to all academics, researchers, doctoral students, from Romania and abroad, interested in the topic.
On May 16 2014, I had enrolled myself in this initiative with a communication titled “A different approach to surface manifestations on the Web 2.0 – the example of ac2012.com, based on the ideology of Aleister Crowley”.
This my communication’s abstract, as presented  on Panel X – Media and Communication Studies: “To further understand the “surface manifestations” conveyed through social networks, blogs, among other platforms prolific throughout the web 2.0, this text proposes an examination of the impact of globalization in the generation of contestatory intercultural awareness gathered around cultural minorities. The theoretical approach will be grounded on the analysis made by authors such as Umberto Eco and George Simmel, among others, and will use as a central example the online platform AC2012 (ac2012.com), devoted to the promotion of the deceased British occultist Aleister Crowley (1875 – 1947) to president of the United States of America. His motto Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law, expressed in his “Liber AL vel Legis” (“The Book of the Law”), synthesizes a message of freedom, central to the AC2012 platform’s conveyance, through the use of humor, controversy and irreverence, of a parallel anti-campaign to the United States presidential election held in 2012. This campaign, which obviously didn’t affect the outcome of the election, moved people worldwide, thus demonstrating the power of technology as a vehicle for the promotion of interculturality.”
Now, I am pleased to announce you, that the volume Intercultural Exchanges in the Age of Globalization has just been published at the LAP, Lambert Academic Publishing. This volume gathers most of the communications and studies presented at the International Conference, mine included.
