From the agora to the crossroads: blues as tool for sensitization and creation in the teaching of philosophy
KRYSZCZUN, Claudia da Silva ; PITTA, Maurício Fernando ; NALLI, Marcos Alexandre Gomes
Resumo:
Contemporary popular music, at least concerning the music derived from North American culture – that, at the age of Globalization, as today, finds itself inlaid in popular culture – owes too much to the blues as one of its main upholder. Aristotle is, on the same way, in Philosophy History, one of its main names, posted on the genesis of western philosophical tradition. Besides these similarities, something else approach the Stagirian philosophy and the Mississippi Delta bluesmen. Such an approach was pointed out by Roopen Majithia in his essay Blues and catharsis (2012, chap. 8),4 in which the author connects the Aristotelian concept of catharsis with American blues, showing that blues and, by extension, popular music as a whole, has such a potential to educate passions that comes near musical education in Aristotelian ways.
