The strange stillness of paradigm: nomads learnings in contexts of complexity

Abstract

The journey has had a substantial role in the random human survival, yet our paradigm is rich in quietness and fixed patterns. Suddenly, the scenarios become confusing, crisis occurs and nothing will be as it used to be. We are all in transit, of knowledges, learnings, identities, we are all forced to become migrants, although the head and the heart try to adhere to a conception of world and of life that belongs to another bygone era. The third millennium has given good reasons to emerge, to a nomadic community whose origin is the same instability which we must face. That flow is paradigm shift. The Ego which is rising is an Ego always in transit to elsewhere. But to generate this landscape of stillness the system has a series of control mecanisms. Our culture ‘reacts’ negatively, distrusts nomadism, as well as strangers. Disorder is a complex notion, as is the encounter of many hazards, which generate chaos.
