Between certainty and uncertainty: Academic research

The first voyage upon the paths and landscapes in the life of “knowledge”; students’ research papers are simultaneously a voyage and just a tale told to others. Voyages and tales, travelers and achievements that correspond to the cognitive world implied by

the inflection determined by the means of traveling and the means of telling. These voyages are inscribed in the path towards “complexity” that links certainty to indetermination to uncertainty to unspeakable to “aporias” in worlds of knowledge-power or worlds of knowledge-hospitability. Most of the commented students’ research papers seek the “knowledge-hospitability” that investigates the concretion of what is actually already “there”, the quotidian: in other words, they manifest the urgency to cultivate means, resources and ways to travel across paths of knowledge while considering the “Levinasian” façade of reality.
