Editorial Manifesto

“Art is a place of emergence and manifestation of the potentialities that man, in every age, has put into action to reshape new worlds and to affirm their practical and ethical existence through the different forms of the creative imagination. For this reason, it is a proper space or relational original fact: it represents and configures, for thought, the place of an ontology of relation inside which a real interdisciplinary dialogue and encounter between knowledges takes place. The path that we intend to open is built through the rethinking and the rereading of some previously traced paths from different perspectives, and is oriented to the consideration of art in all of its forms (myth, poetry, visual arts, literature, music, theater and dance) as a manifestation and sensitive form that reveals the profound needs of the human and, therefore, place of recognition of the latter.

The link between art and recognition indicates, in this perspective, the consideration of art as a metaxy that is not only an intermediary, but the place of mediation, or rather, of relations. Art is the space in which the work of man reacquires and continues to assume the original sense of re-creation of a given world, of re-visitation of said world and of the “traces” that man has left in it.
