Aesthetic wisdom, tacit process and cultural marginality.

摘要

The doctoral work herein investigates thearies-into-practice in these areas: (1) Tacit communication observed at the margins of cultures, and (2) Neo-Aesthetics applied to cultural mediation and social research. Culture implies the way in which people perform functions together. Communication at the margins of culture is tacit and includes concepts of space, time, motion, the use of body language, and other behaviors as extensions of language. These provide intuitive wisdom beyond cultural conditioning. The central thearetical question in this document is as follows:;Beauty is personified by the Goddess Aphrodite, and is rooted to the biological; acquired through human perception, via the senses. Sensing events and things is at the core of Aesthetic Intervention. Spatial and temporal cultural assumptions are suspended as tacit phenomena in and between cultures is Aesthetically negotiated, engendering ethnoplural empathy. The term "cosmoversal" implies universal (single-principled) and cosmological (poly-principled) principles identified in Aphroditic or Aesthetic experiences across cultures. " Theary" is feminine scholarly wisdom derived from and relayed through personal experience. "Feminine" implies human processes and perceptions as these occur along a social continuum, where cultural roles and relational definitions are analyzed toward a re-definition of gendered assumptions.;"Social groups", "society" and "social organization" are synonymous, and refer to the way a group is structured. For the purposes of applied research, these are narrowed to a specific group participating in a pilot graduate course called "Being as Learning ". This thearetical essay provides the scholarly context for said course, elaborating on the emerging field of Kalogenetics, the Science of Beauty, and introduces The Search Matrix (TSM), a whole system change framework and organizational diagnostic tool based on the Aphroditic paradigm The course served as a means for application of my thearies, and featured Aesthetic Interventions used to mediate cultural differences.;How can people get along through Beauty, assuming that Aphroditic principles are a cultural cosmoversal, where human culture is defined as a non-linear and complex systemic entity?
