Time and chaos: the “imagination of possibilities” and the media

This article proposes a reflection about the notion of time and its relation to the media based on the complex thinking paradigm and the transdisciplinary perspective. Departing from reflections about literary and cinematographic narratives, our objective is to examine how the notion of time mediate...

Departing from reflections about literary and cinematographic narratives, our objective is to examine how the notion of time mediates the concept of comprehension of space/time as well as of the aesthetic perception of the world between order and chaos. We relied on the dialogue between science and narrative and on modern physics for concepts of time, order and chaos. Our conclusions point to three ideas: 1) the constant remembrance of catastrophe is an obsessive intimate theme which presents itself through an artistic and mediatic narrative; 2) the expression of catastrophic obsession partially satisfies the current humanity’s affection for horror and 3) the imaginary of catastrophe traverses time and space, being transdisciplinary. Este artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a noção de tempo e suas relações com os média, a partir dos estudos da complexidade e numa perspetiva transdisciplinar. Iniciando com reflexões sobre narrativas literárias e cinematográficas, o nosso objetivo é perceber como a noção de tempo é mediadora da compreensão da realidade espaço/tempo e da perceção estética do mundo entre ordem e caos. Recorremos ao diálogo entre ciência e narrativa e ao pensamento da física moderna sobre os conceitos de tempo, ordem e caos. As nossas conclusões apontam para três ideias: 1) a constante rememoração da catástrofe é um tema íntimo obsessivo que se apresenta através da narrativa artística e mediática; 2) a expressão da obsessão catastrófica vem suprir parcialmente o afeto pelo horror da humanidade atual e 3) o imaginário da catástrofe atravessa tempo e espaço e é transdisciplinar.
