Language is more than "words and rules". For the linguist Daniel Everett, Piraha language will end the long reign of Chomsky's Universal Grammar and colleagues. We also want to get all science arratre reductionist engine of this social-economic system as unfair as obsolete.
According to Universal Grammar, language consists of words and rules ("words and rules").
But as indicated by Daniel Everett, the language Piraha culture is experienced through multiple channels. Thus, they also communicate (like other peoples) humming, singing, whistling, shouting ...
The debate between Daniel Everett and advocates of Universal Grammar is crucial to recognize, once and for all, misunderstanding of the structure of thought from Europe to manage the world of life.
Has long been criticized reductionism of modern Western science, for being blind to the complexity of living systems in which we have engaged.
These are the words of Edgar Morin:
"Intelligence piecemeal, compartmentalized, mechanistic, disjunct, reductionist, breaking the complex world of disjoint fragments, fractionated problems, separates what is bound, the multidimensional unidimensionaliza. Intelligence is both short-sighted, long-sighted, color-blind, one-eyed; the most common is to blind end. Unable to focus on the context and the complex planetary intelligence insconciente becomes blind and irresponsible. It has become deadly? (MORIN, 1996:4)
The debate on Piraha linguistics becomes very apparent this scientistic reductionism of which we speak. As has happened with many other fields of knowledge, also the dominant linguistic (Universal Grammar) shows a blindness to understand the flexibility, fuzziness and diversity inherent in language, as occurs in other aspects of our existence as beings.
Artificial selection of certain aspects of language in society, at least in the educational and professional, makes us forget its complexity and multidimensionality.
We have become so accustomed to writing more and more by the computer, which rarely hand write texts. This is a good example of how the modification of the customs, and the selection of certain dominant languages in the XXI century urban societies, conditions both our vision and our perception of things, we have a hard time accepting an alternative "-new ".
The Piraha culture interesting in this debate is that, in this case, the alternative comes from an indigenous people that has remained unknown to Western scholars until Daniel Everett, after 20 years together! finally been able to decipher the forms of communication so peculiar to this people.
The Piraha language can only be understood in a systemic and complex.
Today this type of prospects are minority.
Then, at a pace that is heated debate between Daniel Everett and Noam Chomsky, is likely to see a cascading effect, through which, once you've dropped the "empire" of Universal Grammar, also fall further their pedestals, reductionist many other scientific theories that have continued to stay thanks to a socio-political context and globalizing capitalist who has never cared for diversity, flexibility and complexity.
Thus, perhaps in a few years will witness that all relevant scientific discoveries of the last decades alternative, which are many, are no longer forgotten and become part of our education and our daily lives.
We believe that a common denominator of reductionist science is Social Darwinism ("unconscious") that accompanies them. Facing the symbiosis mutual aid and, finally, force their way with biology from Lynn Margulis and Humberto Maturana.
And we have dared to compare Noam Chomsky Catholic Isabela because part of the world, in large part, is still governed by Judeo-Christian thinking that permeates cunningly, and inadvertently, both right and left movements.
As shown in Luce López Baralt "Kama Sutra A Spanish" Islamic culture has been through its history of sexual pleasure worshiper, considering it sacred. By contrast the Christian culture has historically been denying sexual pleasure and by extension the body.
As historically refused and forbade Catholic Isabela belly dancing in the Iberian Peninsula "Obscene", Noam Chomsky could continue to refuse to accept an undeniable fact, that his theory of human language, the void in practice human diversity and the diversity of their languages, could continue supporting and legitimizing an educational system and a social system where LETTER IS GOD.
Interestingly force resumed their theories of the origin of language in music and dance. We seem to forget that humans are a part, for thousands of years, a sensosfera (biosphere perceptual and sensory), in which each living being acts as a sensor-transmitter permanent sensory connection with the entire ecosystem that surrounds it.
The body, our body, is obviously the main means of communication and language.
If Christianity tried to quench our sensory sensitivity, the inhospitable urban environment further exacerbated this lack of sensory experience. If communication and language are given through the sense organs, our "handicap" Sensory us also "disabled" in our language ability, and therefore in our thinking.
Universal Grammar and further closes the circle.
Soon will recover in universities and schools this multidimensionality of language and communication. And sure will be loved more whole, more sensitive in every way, and simpler; aware that this half-forgotten technology (bio-technology) that is life, our life, our body is able to easily resume way.
The road "Piraha" that a former hippie ex-evangelist discovered one day by our great friend Luis (another "Piraha") and the language of an email.
It is my immense pleasure to write these words in Indymedia Brazil. When I received that email, more or less a year, I gave a nice feeling. I realized that what we called "Simbiodiversity" was the philosophy "Piraha". And we've been able to confirm by reading the information that will appear recently.
Personally I am biologist, but in the course of the last two decades I was absorbed by an increasingly more general, transdisciplinary and multicultural.
Piraha Philosophy (Simbiodiversity) allows once and for all overcome these centuries of scientific reductionism and separation between "science" and humanities. "Facing the proposed" Third Culture ", we propose the Simbiodiversity as FIRST CULTURE. Stormy commune Wilson and his "Consilience" as proposed unification of knowledge. At least in regard to the importance of biology in this reunification. biologist But Wilson is more than us. As for our view, biology is essential to understanding the "Man", for a very simple reason and extremely pragmatic: WE ARE LIVING.
The Simbiodiversity is Pure Human Biology, in the sense that we are living beings and all the information we use in this "knowledge society", comes through our bodies, just like the Piraha, independent of any computer technology, eg. Our body is always present in our communication and our languaging.
To Edward Wilson, biologist thought, human biology excludes everything social. If we are social beings, biologist biologist and receive only see "half the cake", in line with the manifest separation between "science" and "humanities" to which we have previously alluded.
For Simbiodiversity Human Biology covers, systemically, everything humans do all cultures. The runs Simbiodiversity therefore no dichotomies, the whole range of human knowledge.
Perhaps it may seem very pretentious that statement, or other parts of this paper.
No, we are a great team scientist, nor do we have great publications in prestigious journals.
We live in a volcano: on the Costa del Sol and the Simbiodiversity has been growing among multiple struggles against injustice and the destruction of our culture and our way of life.
Recall that the Spanish State is the third consecutive year, the state of the world has increased its pollution, and therefore its unsustainability, in relation to population.
And the province of Malaga is, most likely, the territory of the European Union has increased its unsustainability.
In this situation, it is understandable that the Simbiodiversity has been developed as a true Guerrilla Science.
And as Piraha culture, like many others, is now haunted by the invasion of multinational companies, who plunder the territories for the sake of the old patriarchal God and its extended as Social Neo-Darwinism, because we want to share with you and all the Simbiodiversity their language, built in the middle of the emergency, through action (activism is part of the diversity of languages).
To understand the Simbiodiversity, like Piraha language, we need a minimum dose of "lateral thinking" and creativity, two species that can be considered "rare" in the heart of conventional science.
