dc.description.abstract
This presentation assembles four schematic passages—from Luce Irigaray, Anne Carson, Paul Celan, and Martin Buber—as philosophical “microliths.” Each fragment illuminates a threshold where relationality is reconfigured: between movement and stillness (Irigaray’s assimilation), inward consciousness and outward cosmos (Carson’s breath-thinking), human speech and mineral silence (Celan’s stone), and objectification and mutual encounter (Buber’s I-Thou).
Collectively, these texts propose a constellation of thoughts that challenge binary logics. They explore inversions (of assimilation into anamnesis, of interiority into sky, of silence into direction) and posit elemental intermediaries like air and stone as vital participants in perception and meaning. The presentation argues that such “microlithic” encounters act as spiritual and cognitive principles, enabling a transformative dialogue with the world that is neither fully active nor passive, but sustained in an interval of grace and will.
Through this constellation, we are invited to perceive architecture, language, and being not as fixed forms, but as porous passages of relations where the microlith becomes a centre point for reassembling our understanding of presence, attention, and the cosmic weave.
