A SELF-ETHNOGRAPHY OF HOPE
A SELF-ETHNOGRAPHY OF HOPE

Summary/Abstract: The following pages are a more intimate review of Professor Mihai I. Spariosu’s alchemical work in comparative literature, utopian thinking and intercultural contact. I discuss, to the best of my abilities, how utopia can be a lived experience in a culture dominated by the will to power. Power is the strongest and the most intense cultural dynamic of our age, and any attempt to interact with it in innovative ways is a consistent source of knowledge. The fascinating intertwining of technology, science and spirituality that characterizes Professor Spariosu’s work has the potential to facilitate a new way of seeing for next generations of students. I gained this understanding, studying under the Professor’s guidance for several years, as I deeply believe that one way to reach the field beyond the will to power is the perseverance to practice congruence between our three main actions: thought, word and deed. Professor’s Spariosu’s work has the power to transmute information and knowledge in a visionary wisdom very much needed in our day and age. Few are the works and thinking models that combine with such elegance a deep understanding of science and of spirituality, with critical appreciation of the role of technologies in human development. The result is a complex eutopian foresight that pledges for a paradigmatic shift in our cultures and civilizations.
