    This recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Dominic and Cymene bask in 15 seconds of Icelandic limelight and discuss Madonna@60.  Then (14:28) to celebrate the premiere of our film, “Not Ok: A Little Movie About a Small Glacier at the End of the World,” we whet your appetite with the full interview with brilliant Icelandic writer and filmmaker Andri Snaer Magnason—author of Dreamland (Citizen Press, 2006) and The Story of the Blue Planet (Seven Stories, 2000)—that we did for the film. In the interview, Andri and Cymene discuss his family’s close relationship to glaciers and what glaciers have meant to Icelanders in the past and more recently. They talk about geological time and human time, why we need to see oil, addiction to destruction, what Andri talked to the Dalai Lama about, the Big Melt and much more. Tomorrow’s the big day. Wish us luck, dear listeners

    En l’article l’autor argumenta per la necessària ampliació del que es ve coneixent de forma majoritària per Teoria de la Complexitat (anomenada per Morin la ‘complexitat restringida’) a partir de les contribucions de les ciències socials i de la filosofia. Entre aquestes es destaquen les discussions en torn la importància del llenguatge en la configuració de l’acció i de la comprensió humana, així com el pensament dialèctic i la hermenéutica. Més enllà, s’apunta també la importància de superar la fossa entre les distintes formes de coneixement, consciència i expressió humana, complementant-se el discurs analític i ‘científic’ amb el discurs poètic, artístic, així com altres formes de pràctiques d’accés al coneixement i a la consciència a l’hora de construir-se un pensament complex ampliat.En el artículo el autor argumenta por la necesaria ampliación de lo que se viene conociendo de forma mayoritaria por Teoría de la Complejidad (denominada por Morin la ‘complejidad restringida’) a partir de las contribuciones de las ciencias sociales y de la filosofía.

Más allá, se apunta también hacia la importancia de superarse el foso entre las distintas formas de conocimiento, conciencia y expresión humana, complementándose el discurso analítico y ‘científico’ con el discurso poético, artístico, así como otras formas de prácticas de acceso al conocimiento y a la conciencia a la hora de construirse un pensamiento complejo ampliado.In this article, the author argues in favour of extending what has come to be known by most as Complexity Theory (and which Morin calls ‘restricted complexity’) based on contributions from the social sciences and philosophy, including discussions on the importance of language in the configuration of human action and understanding, as well as on dialectical thinking and hermeneutics. He also argues that, in developing an expanded complexity theory, we must bridge the gap between various kinds of human knowledge, awareness and expression by complementing analytical and ‘scientific’ discourse with poetic and artistic discourse, as well as other means of accessing knowledge and awareness.Peer Reviewe
