Appunti sull'amore, ovvero Shakespeare con Bateson

The following essay concerns hot and cold as pre-linguistic issues, coming directly from living bodies, with no linguistic mediation of any kind. It involves the animality we “humans” are dealing with always, from the very beginning.Es/It is before any quidditas. It is a percept getting stability, at any time touching what we are affected by. The Other, in the case of my essay, is Love. I will treat Love as a source of cold/hot sensitivity passing throughout Classic literature with particular reference, passing from Robert Burton ’Melancholy, The Tyger of Willam Blake, William Shakespeare Multiple Worlds, to Gregory Bateson anthropology.
