“The feeling I get so far while preparing the present Conference is that its topic The Embodied Self and the Dis-embodied Society is directly connected with the atmosphere of its organization. An atmosphere characterized by synthesis, harmony and the presence of the body, a triptych which weds creativity with the element of joy.
The collaboration between the members of the Committees and between the Committees themselves has already been very fulfilling for me. It is a collaboration which incorporates the particularity of the Other in a mature manner and considers it a valued element of the final collective outcome.
