ACTIVITY SYNOPSIS:

THE PROPOSAL:

The course is addressed to people who are engaged in care practices in general. The proposal is to make explicit reciprocal relationships or transversalities between the Modus Operandi AND and practices of care. More specifically, to present MO_AND as a conceptual and methodological resource for care. The course is structured in three axes:

The dimension of Care in the Practices of the AND Operative Mode.

Contributions of the AND Operative Mode to the Clinic and Care

Performative practice of MO_AND + Clinic and Care through the Game-Conversation

+ABOUT MO_AND:

The Modus Operandi AND (MO_AND) is a methodology for the ethical-aesthetic, somatic-political and experiential investigation of relationship and reciprocity, based on the radical commitment to repair the Irreparable, created by anthropologist and artist Fernanda Eugenio.

Mobilizing a constellation of concept-tools and game-propositions, MO_AND propitiates the direct and experiential investigation of the mechanisms of living-together, that is, of the composition practiced as ethics of positioning-with, through the exercise of the Reparar: to stop again (re-parar), to make the inventory-invention of the possible each time (reparagem), and to effect repair through the durational care-curation of relationships (reparação). By practicing an embodied consciousness and modes of doing based on the circumscription of the common and the performativity of affect, which place thinking, feeling, and doing on the same plane, MO_AND paves the way for the emergence of collaborative landscapes and territories of sufficiency, based on the co(m)passionate exercise of presence and the reconnection with the sensitive experience of inseparability.

+About the (under)stANDing Program:

(under)stANDing is an ongoing research-creation program that supports the annual process of the School of Repair, with Fernanda Eugenio, in articulation with the AND Collective and invited interlocutors.

We use the term (under)standing as opposed to understanding - proposing a way of researching that deviates from interpretosis, declining representation in favor of presentation. To commit to "suspending the under of understanding" is to commit to direct experience; to investigate-create from a state of presence that sustains non-knowing and seeks to attune to the embodied wisdoms that we carry below and beyond the illusion of the point of view. This activity is composed of face-to-face work at AND Lab Space in Lisbon, online meetings and LAND Creation Residencies, opening up to the outside through workshops, sharing sessions and process shows a few times a year.
