Becoming culture: Illustrated Through Mexico's Guadalupe-Tonantzín Coalescence, and Other Latin American Enigmas (Volume 1)

by floyd merrell

Book Overview

Becoming Culture taps in on Charles Sanders Peirce’s occasional allusion to a vague, flexible form of ‘logic’. Although unfortunately he did not fully develop this idea, his concept of signs and pragmatic philosophy play a chief role in this book. It offers an alternative ‘style of logic’ with which to understand cultural proc... esses, their complexities, oddities, and paradoxes. The key phrase is: complementary coalescence. Complementarity emerges from certain aspects of twentieth-century physics—especially Niels Bohr’s ‘Complementary Principle’. Coalescence assimilates process philosophy and scientific notions of chaos and complexity. Thus, a sense of process pervades the quest toward an understanding of the strange twists and turns humans never cease encountering within their culture. In line with the overriding notion of process, Becoming Culture offers a cultural ‘logic’ whose principle theme is complementary coalescence. It illustrates this theme principally through the Mexican Virgin of Guadalupe’s merging with the ancient Aztec (Mexica) goddess, Tonantzín, in the hearts, minds, words and actions among some of Mexico’s indigenous people. read more

BIOGRAPHY
Retired college prof, Purdue University (1973-2011). He authored too many professional books (32) in mind-numbing 'academese.' Since retiring, he would like to think he's writing fiction and nonfiction about identity crises, border issues, ethnic interrelations, and mental glitches of multiple sorts, and now finds hi... mself floundering in whirlpooling word cascades that incessantly sweep him along. Yet, he managed to finish THE AFRO-BRAZILIAN ART OF COPING that emerged from his experiences in Brazil two to three months a year from 1991 to 2011; a coming of age trilogy, FINDING HIMSELF: From New Mexico to the Sierra Madre and Back, LOOKING GLASS KILLER, and THE DILEMMA: Who is Matt?; a bizarre adventure story, ENIGMAS: Gold Fever, Space-Time Warps, Sierra Madre Magic; and the first volume of a sci-fi trilogy that will be out within three months, NOW IS TOO SOON: Untangling Future Memories. read more
