Imagination, imagery and creativity:

deepens imagination, imagery and creativity
in various disciplines and daily life.
Massimo Gerardo Carrese proposes EDUCATIONAL
AND EXPERIENTIAL MEETINGS IN FANTASIOLOGY. He invents phantasiologic games of linguistic,
mathematical, musical, artistic nature. These games are practical tools to
better understand fantasiology that also involves reality and the faculties of perception, association and daydream.

associations, libraries
MEETING
duration: 1h 30m
recipients: all ages
What is imagination? What is imagery?
What is creativity? And fantasiology? Can you think without images? Does
an adult or a child have more imagination? Where do the ideas come from? How
does the "7 everywhere" game work? What comes out from a basketball?
Why does the word "BEAR" have four letters? Does
imagination have rules? Is there a "story of imagination"?
Massimo Gerardo Carrese presents his studies and introduces, in an original
interactive meeting, the themes of fantasiology and the scientific,
humanistic, ludic and artistic differences of imagination, imagery
and creativity. He presents reflections, exercises and his own
fantasiologic games (linguistics, mathematicals, artistics).

PHANTASIOLOGICAL
WORKSHOP
duration: 3h
recipients: children from 7 to 10 years old; teenagers; adults
number of participants allowed: min 15 max 30
Fantasiology is the critical and
analytical study of the scientific, humanistic, ludic and artistic aspects of
imagination (the possible), imagery (mental images) and creativity (technique
and originality). Imagination-imagery-creativity are the three essential words
of fantasiology but to fully understand them, it is also necessary to study
perception, association, daydream, reality.
From the SEVEN KEYWORDS OF FANTASIOLOGY
Massimo Gerardo Carrese introduces a theoretical and practical analysis
of imagination, imagery and creativity.
The phantasiological
workshop invites to surprise (wonder) but also to disorientation
(restlessness), two events that inevitably reserve the faculties of
imagination, imagery and creativity when they become tools for re-knowing
oneself and the world.
Massimo Gerardo Carrese proposes an
interdisciplinary path, with bibliographic references, reflections, exercises
and linguistic, mathematical and artistic games invented by him.
