ACTIVITY: Presentation by Ariane Weinberger, German ethnologist, author of the book "The Purpose of Homo Sapiens in the Upper Palaeolithic. From the eagerness to survive to the eagerness to transcend".
DESCRIPTION: The research starts from the Lower Palaeolithic, at its most significant moment: the discovery of fire, and focuses on the Upper Palaeolithic, particularly in the region that extends from the Atlantic to the Urals, where a large number of tangible traces have been found. He analyzes artistic productions, especially the paleolithic Venus and the parietal art of subterranean caverns, with the intention of discovering whether the purpose of transcending led homo sapiens to significant experiences that could be captured in his artistic productions. The hypotheses, interpretations and conclusions are the result of a multidisciplinary study, of an iconographic and morphological analysis and of an intuitive and experiential approach, accompanied by a power-point and interior video of a cave, ending with a turn of speech and a small agape.
