associations and associations


I see
associations,
foundations, etc.. mushrooming. While wondering why is not my intention at this time, go into the details of the responses that may be many and varied, but rather take the opportunity to do a self rescue and the associative meaning of these infinite spaces. Association, a word of Latin origin, which indicates a strong network of people and ideas, because in everyday life, there are many aspects of life that "associate" ideas, objects, thoughts, people ... Association is a space, perhaps a Facebook not virtual but real, where we share insights and analysis. Many, perhaps most, are created to pursue joint projects to help other groups of people, care for, protect nature ... But perhaps what we should redeem is that this space is made by people. Even before then to be an area of \u200b\u200bformulation of projects and commitments, is a place for meeting people with stories, insights and attitudes. Perhaps this is something specific that stands out: the 'intercultural and interdisciplinary. We are people who "associate" stories, visions, or "world view", lifestyles and experiences on current and historical reality. Certainly a difficult task, therefore, but probably one of the most useful and meaningful at this moment in history when it is not just to defend the nature or peoples, but also to seek and recognize alternative languages, as if we were around the table of an association. Real space not only for others but the design of self-criticism and training for ourselves, as in every age, we still have to learn to adapt, as always happens in every change of era-a new historical situations. Then the association is not so much a caring role, but a truly cultural and political role, a social laboratory to continue to learn to live. An 'art really difficult, but urgent.
