Pathways to Another Way of Doing Things

Memory often brings doubt with it and asks for a reset. The women who have been crucial throughout history cannot and must not remain a footnote to the history of ideas, of culture. This section is a necessary homage to and vindication of figures and authors who were essential in their day and still are now, because of their way of thinking and their propositions for a different way of living in the world. The memory of crucial personalities like Hildegard of Bingen and Marguerite Porete in the Middle Ages, and of women pioneers of social movements in an endemically convulsive Europe, constantly at the point of falling apart, shows us other kinds of awareness and knowledge. This different way of doing things does not stick to narrow paths; on the contrary, it flows through all the arts, through thought, through bodily gesture, no stranger to political content.
