Abstract

From the imperviousness of periodisations, one often realises how the embers of a historical age continue to guard their intimate fire. An oscillation of the mediaeval age in which the literary vastness, from poetry to prose, and the breadth of the fabrial spectrum, from architecture to sculpture, to painting, participate in their persistence, releasing their own humours in a reshaping and fertilising of knowledge. An oscillation that becomes circularity, ready to navigate the sphere of the planet until it tou-ches its contemporary essence. On the podiums of knowledge and the creative mind always emerges the vocation of culture to be transdisciplina-ry, beyond boundaries, often heretical: to confront and, Nietzscheanly, produce from “chaos”.
