Physicality
of Soul, Физика на
Душа,
Fisic an Anama
Abstract:
The idea of Physicality of Soul was born in South Eastern Europe in 2004. The
very strangeness of the phrase, using old words in unusual combination, suggests
something very new and of its time. The Bulgarian,
Физика на
Душата, tries to capture the sense of this
idea from a local cultural perspective. At the other extreme Western Region of
Europe, Fisic an Anama, translates the Bulgarian. Physicality of Soul speaks of
the spirit of the Digital re-Discovery of Culture made alive in the playful
person, (s)he who is at play in the game of life. The World-Wide Web provides
the modern cultural medium by which one begins to know the Other. Such knowledge
in becoming is only fully realized in and by the body. This is Physicality of
Soul. Dancing typifies Physicality of Soul. So does play-acting and singing and
running. There is play to be found everywhere. How can such playing be conjoined
with the digital world? How can the digital world be humanized? This paper
explores the possible.
