La experiencia y el tiempo de la creación siendo fiel al origen

Main Article Content

Mª Elisa Varela Rodríguez
I bring together the ways of naming time and the most common forms of understanding it in western culture and, also, some elements of the perception of temporality belonging to eastern cultures that are closer to the way in which some of us women experience the time of creation of life and the time of other feminine creations. I analyse time and temporality as an experience in relationship, a personal experience and many times paradoxical. Each human creature has their multiple times, and there are frequently discords and conflicts between some times and others. Time is one of the most normal experiences of human beings, because it is the foundation of our experiences and what makes them possible. I reflect upon my practices in order to modify my relationship with the time of the patriarchy –the time of stopwatches- that generates conflicts for my being as woman, and how these changes mean modifying myself, my way of doing and of relating. To manage to change my relationship with the stopwatch time I have to free myself of any anchoring and know how to make peace with reality, with the university, with Duoda, with myself. My life as a university lecturer and researcher marks the active subjection of time. But, I know that I should substitute the subordination to the imperatives of our time for a full awareness of time, of each time, of the present time, and invent practices of liberation and find mediations that allow me to get out of the imperatives of the dominant order, which are very far from those of the mother, and her symbolic order.
