Art and Hybridity

This lecture delves into the intricate relationship between art and hybridity, exploring how the concept of metaphor is applied to the fusion of human, animal, and machine elements in literary works. The discussion covers the extrapolation of rational conjectures, the interplay between literal, intertextual, and metaphorical images, and the analysis of selected texts by Damasio. Through a detailed examination of the text, the lecture aims to elucidate the complex process of metaphorical interpretation and the significance of hybrid beings in storytelling.
