Theory/Practice:
The Lucid Body
The democratic individual cannot exist if it is not lucid, and lucid in the first place about itself’ (Castoriadis 2005)
This practice/theory lab interrogates social-theorist Cornelius Castoriadis’ (1922 -1997) concept of Elucidation as a process of ‘thoughtful doing’ towards a ‘self-transformation of society’ (2005:40). Adams (2011) describes Elucidation as a process of ‘becoming illuminated’, ‘making clear’ and ‘making sense of’. Can somatic practices provide an education against ‘the terrorism of conformist thought, that is to say non-thought’ (Castoriadis 2005: 9)? How do we nurture the lucid individual?
