Corpo e comunicação: a propriocepção com o uso da Ayahuasca

Abstract

The present study aims to verify the relationship between the use of Ayahuasca tea and the primary media in the sociocultural context of the Mother Anandamayi Sanctuary. To that end I proposed the investigation of the body as a primary media concept developed by Harry Pross in the theory of the media that defends the body as the point from which it originates and to where all kinds of communication returns. The proprioception, a term employed by Sherrington around 1900, is defined as any postural information, positional, which is referred to the central nervous system. In other words, it is the personal consciousness of the movements produced or received by our members. Through this reflection and supported by theoreticians who study the body as media, I tried to express the importance of the five senses and their unfolding within the process of human sociability. I conclude that the importance of this research for the studies of Communication is based on the deepening of the implications that a paradoxical distance caused by the electro-electronic technologies in the daily communication. It can unfold in the phenomenon that generates structural transformation of relation and consequently of communication. The research is linked to the field of Communication under the bias of culture and media from theories of Media Theory formulated by such theoreticians as Harry Pross, Ivan Bystrina and Dietmar Kamper. It develops in consonance especially with the work developed by Norval Baitello Jr. That approach the phenomenon of communication in the field to which body / media refers.
