Sub-title:Artwork, Artistic practice, Performing Arts

Research Topic: Notes on Artistic Practice

Overview:

The term ‘practice’ is used in a loose way in art theory. Using the example of the German artist Fritz Rahmann the text elaborates crucial aspects of artistic practice, taken as ‘bundles’ of different actions: clusters of similar actions, sequencing the clusters, exploring the dialogue with materials, relating them to mental models, ascribing them to social groups. In artistic practice the artwork loses its autonomy and the artist’s role as author is relativized.

Research Topic: Does the DNA Make the Human Person Unique?

Overview:

The concept of human nature has over the years been problematic. From the Aristotelian-Thomistic view, the human person is distinguished from any other being because of his rational nature. This view has been challenged today from different angles. The reasons for the challenge vary but the central question remains: who is the human person? What is human nature? The answer to this fundamental question provokes other areas or fields of enquiry. Today more than ever before the scientific explanation of the distinctive characteristic of the human person is interesting.
