Episode 35: Alexis Castellanos, Author of “Isla to Island”, and Her Panel Presentation during the Operación Pedro Pan Two-Day Event
No full textIn Part 1 of “Operación Pedro Pan: The Voices and Stories of Cuba’s Child Exodus—A Knights HistoryCast Mini-Series,” the Department of History’s Sebastian Garcia talked with Alexis Castellanos, an author, illustrator, graphic novelist, and a panelist at the esteemed, conspicuous, and powerful “Operación Pedro Pan: Honoring the Cultural, Historical Legacy of Cuba’s Child Exodus” Two-Day Program that Florida Humanities, UCF’s Department of English and Department of Modern Languages and Literatures sponsored (see https://cah.ucf.edu/pedro-pan/ for more details on sponsors and the program in general).
Sebastian structured this specific episode on Alexis Castellanos’ Isla to Island, a wordless graphic novel grounded by her personal family history and the history of Operación Pedro Pan (Operation Peter Pan). By analyzing such a historic event through the medium of fiction, Sebastian argued that this is one of the most unique Knights HistoryCast episodes of all time. Naturally, their conversation expanded to what she talked about during her panel presentation in Panel One, Day 1 of the event that featured “internationally renowned scholars that discussed the political, historical, and cultural legacy of Operación Pedro Pan (1960-1962).” (https://cah.ucf.edu/pedro-pan/)

THE MYSTIC ROAD : SELECTED POEMS - ALEXIS KARPOUZOS
No full text
Alexis karpouzos (born on April 09, 1967) is a philosopher, author, spiritual master and pioneer of higher consciousness. He is author of several books on philosophy, metaphysics, spirituality, modern science. His most famous books are: ‘’Universal consciousness’’, ‘’non-duality’’, ‘’An ocean of souls’’, ‘’Beyond the heaven’’. Alexis Karpouzos is also a recording artist. He has recorded two music albums and twenty-four singles songs. He has also appeared in two documentary films, television and radio productions. He is the pioneer of the post-ontology consciousness and the wisdom of universal wholeness. The global language of poetry of Alexis Karpouzos, by following the paths of wisdom, is a vehicle for transmitting human knowledge and values, history, ancient traditions, and links with nature. It transmits the human values and worldly knowledge that are essential for opening ourselves to the Other. Poetic creation, therefore, forges very strong links between humans -it transcends beyond languages, beliefs and cultures. Each poem appears in its original form, in a vibrant celebration of life, diversity, language, and the enduring power of poetry. At a time when the Humanities are under threat, this book offers a defense of poetry within the context of growing interest in mindfulness in spirituality, in consciousness, in art, in education.</p

COSMOLOGY, PHILOSOPHY AND PHYSICS: ALEXIS KARPOUZOS
No full textIf physics leads us today to a world view which is essentially holistic, it returns, in a way, to its beginning, 2,500 years ago. It is interesting to follow the evolution of Western science along its spiral path, starting from the mystical philosophies of the early Greeks, rising and unfolding in an impressive development of intellectual thought that increasingly turned away from its mystical origins to develop a world view which is in sharp contrast to that of the Far East In its most recent stages, Western science is finally overcoming this view and coming back to those of the early Greek and the Eastern philosophies. This time, however, it is not only based on intuition, but also on experiments of great precision and sophistication, and on a rigorous and consistent mathematical formalism. The parallels to modem physics appear not only in the Vedas of Hinduism, in the I Ching , or in the Buddhist sutras, but also in the fragments of Heraclitus, Parmenides, Plotinus, African-American philosophy, the eastern negative theology, in the Sufism of lbn Arabi, in the holistic spirit of Giordano Bruno and Meister Eckhart, in monadology of Leibniz, in the Absolute Idea of Hegel and Shelling, e.t.
All ancient spiritual traditions suggest that the world is a unity and the multiplicity is only apparent. Modern science claims that the visible world of matter and the multiplicity is only apparent, the reality is unseen and invisible. Since different roads the mysticism and the rationalism lead to the same view, the view of the open totality of the world. The mystical insight of spirituality and the rational mind of science leading to the open thought, the wisdom of life. The spiritual experience of oneness conduces to the same insight as reasoning through science. Both convey the insight of fundamental interconnection between ourselves, other people, other forms of life, the biosphere and, ultimately, the universe. Science and spirituality, far from being mutually exclusive and conflicting elements, are complementary partners in the search for the path that can enable humanity to recover its oneness with the world. Science demonstrates the urgent and objective need for it; and spirituality testifies to its inherent value and supreme desirability. We can reason to our oneness in the world, and we can experience our oneness with the world. The time has come to do both, for they are complementary and mutually reinforcing.
Presents a revolutionary new paradigm of Cosmic Thought that bridges the divide between science and spirituality. Discloses the ramifications of non-localized consciousness and how the physical world and spiritual experience are two aspects of the same Cosmos. What scientists are now finding at the outermost frontiers of every field is overturning all the basic premises concerning the nature of matter and reality.The essays on this book are the notes from the international e – learning courses that were given by the philosopher, and author Alexis Karpouzos during the winter of 2014. Students studying in London, Amsterdam, Berlin and Paris took part in the courses, which were held by the educational and cultural center "Alexis karpouzos community", located in Athens

Este intérprete, que se reconoce como un activo embajador de numerosos repertorios para su instrumento, nació en 1977 y se formó en el Conservatorio de París como discípulo de Michel Strauss y Philippe Muller. En 1998 se vinculó al conjunto Court- circuit, en el que participa activamente junto a su director artístico, Philippe Hurel, mientras desarrolla actividades con el IRCAM y con el Ensemble Intercontemporain. En 2006 ingresó a la Orquesta de la Ópera Nacional de París sin dejar de lado el trabajo con su repertorio actual, y desde enero de 2016 forma parte de la Orquesta Nacional de Burdeos Aquitania, en calidad de solista. A Descharmes se le han dedicado más de cincuenta obras contemporáneas, tanto concertistas como solistas.

Alex Greffin Klein, violín Nacida en Francia en una familia cuyo linaje musical se remonta a varias generaciones, Alex Greffin Klein cursó el programa de posgrado del Royal College of Music de Londres, donde fue discípula del reputado profesor Felix Andrievsky. Allí completó sus especializaciones en interpretación solista y de cámara. Su pasión por la música de cámara la llevó a cursar una especialización más en la materia, en la clase de Walter Levin en la Hochschule de Basilea, Suiza. También recibió educación musical complementaria con Günter Pichler, integrante del Cuarteto Alban Berg, y con György Kurtag, quien al respecto de su discípula se expresó diciendo: «Alexandra dispone de un gran nivel, tanto individual como en el marco de la música de cámara. A esto se agrega la profundidad que ha adquirido su voz artística personal. Es una excelente violinista y una profesional íntegra de la música». Los primeros dos años de su carrera los pasó como intérprete de cuarteto de cámara. Ocupó el tercer lugar en el ARD Wettbewerb en 2004, fue galardonada en el Concurso Internacional de Burdeos en 2007 y recibió un premio especial en el Mozarteum de Salzburgo. Ha actuado en numerosos festivales y series de eventos en Europa, Estados Unidos y Japón. Desde 2009 toca frecuentemente junto con el Cuarteto Phidias (espectáculo con bailarines de hip-hop dirigidos por el coreógrafo Mourad Merzouki y con presentaciones en Francia, Marruecos, Finlandia, Hong-Kong e Indonesia), el Cuarteto Diotima (serie DeSingel en Amberes y en la Konzerthaus de Berlín), y más recientemente, el Cuarteto Parisii. Durante sus años como intérprete de cuarteto, la clase magistral con el Cuarteto Arditti en 2006 en el Hindemith Center en Suiza constituyó su primer encuentro significativo con la música contemporánea. Luego compartió con este grupo en torno a un concierto en el Klangspuren Festival de Austria. Desde 2009 dedica una parte importante de su carrera a la promoción de la música contemporánea, trabajando como solista y también junto con compositores alrededor del mundo en calidad de miembro de varias agrupaciones de música de cámara: Cairn, Alternance, Multilatérale, Itinéraire, Sillage y, desde 2012, como miembro permanente de Court-circuit. Se presentó en el Festival Darmstadt en 2010 y dos años después recibió el reconocimiento 5 Diapasons por su grabación del cuarteto de cuerdas de Raphaël Cendo.
Philippe Hurel dedicó a Greffin Klein su nueva pieza para violín solo titulada Trait, que estrenó en París en septiembre de 2014 y grabó luego en 2016. Esta producción discográfica ganó el prestigioso Grand Prix de la Academia Charles Cros, recibió cinco estrellas en la revista Diapason y figuró entre los cinco mejores CD del año 2016, según France Musique (Radio Nacional Francesa). Ese mismo año ofreció su primera gira como solista en los Estados Unidos e interpretó el concierto de Jonathan Harvey junto con la Slee Sinfonietta, bajo la batuta de Julien Leroy. En el MUSICA Festival tocó un recital al lado de su compañero musical preferido, el violonchelista Alexis Descharmes, y estrenó el Concierto para violín de Antonio Tules, bajo la dirección de Jean Deroyer. Motivada a compartir con jóvenes músicos su pasión por el violín y el repertorio contemporáneo, Greffin Klein ofrece regularmente conferencias y clases magistrales en la École Normale de París, la New York University, la Universidad de Boston, el New England Conservatory, la Eastman School of Music de Rochester, el Conservatorio Central de Beijing y el Conservatorio Real de Birmingham. Greffin interpreta un violín fabricado por Sebastian Klotz, que data de 1756, usando el arco Ouchard de Charles Tate, que generosamente su familia le ha cedido en préstamo
