Abstract

SANTOS, Ana Gabriela Rebelo dos  and  SA, Roberto Novaes de. Art and world: dialogues between Heidegger and Castaneda. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.2, pp. 131-135. ISSN 1809-6867.

We propose to consider possibilities of world experience from the relationship between work of art, an idea developed by the philosopher Martin Heidegger in "The Origin of the Work of Art" and stop the world, an idea expounded by the anthropologist Carlos Castaneda. According to Heidegger, being a work of art is to install a world, leave open the opening of the world: opening of sense. For the philosopher, man is the being whose being is always at stake in its existence. "Stop the world," is what speaks the Indian Don Juan to Castaneda. He needs to stop the world, collapsing his concept of world in order to see the world detached from social consensus. The authors discuss plastic realities, worlds that are based on experiences, forms of Existence and sometimes appearing to move between worlds and keeping the opening of Being. We do not aim to equate ideas, we open a space to think about the existence of man. As a methodological resource, we discusses highlighted passages of Castaneda's work and seek ways to the ideas of Heidegger which help us to elaborate a common horizon of dialog.
