Habituation and wonder: embodied knowledge in Renaissance Italy’s memory
Resumo
As técnicas renascentistas de memorização utilizam o corpo, de forma intencional e precisa, para melhorar a memorização. A análise de três manuais de memória italianos do final de 1500 destaca uma impressionante perícia das possibilidades únicas oferecidas por uma aquisição corporificada de conhecimento. Alguns conceitos da atual teoria cognitiva ajudarão a avaliar a eficácia e a complexidade de tais técnicas. Essa reflexão interdisciplinar contribui para o delineamento de uma conceção pré-cartesiana da cognição humana.
