On 21 December, went to the movies to see the movie Agora, a film by Alejandro Amenabar. Is a film about fanaticism through the life of Hypatia and the historical situation that had its city \u200b\u200bat the turn of the century IV, a moment that is considered the end of the ancient world and the beginning of the Middle Ages.
For starters, let's talk about the myth of the cave, which is the focus of our work: This, written by Plato, tells the story of prisoners living in a cave shut, bound feet, hands and neck to wall and can look in one direction only. Behind the wall, was a passageway through which passed several people carrying various objects and talking among themselves. Thanks to the fire that was next to people, objects were reflected in the wall, and this was the only view the prisoners. These conversations associated men with the figures of the objects, creating a nonexistent reality.
After a while one of the prisoners is released to the force outside the cave, as usual, his eyes were not accustomed to light, but as they were accustomed first thing I could see were the shadows, then people and objects reflected in water and finally the objects themselves. After learning what the true reality sadly think the prisoner back and warn his comrades, but these, the judge saying that their eyes have been blinded by the sun, that star that has allowed us to recognize the true reality and would center laughter. If your colleagues have an opportunity they would kill him and he would not let them sacara a las afueras

Para
la representación de este trabajo hemos utilizado un folio A3 doblado por la
mitad, y hemos dado efecto de dos partes por separado, en la primera cara se
puede ver la cueva vista desde una perspectiva frontal: primero el fuego, las
personas con los objetos, el muro, los presos y las sombras… a la izquierda
está la salida de la cueva donde se asoma ligeramente el sol. Si desdoblamos el
folio, vemos el exterior compuesto por: un lago, árboles, césped, and a sun.

Each element is composed of various magazine clippings, are actually abstract shapes or objects, which together form the different elements.
After presenting our work in the myth of the cave, let's talk a little about what is bigotry and I put a clear example of one of the characters from our point of view has been: Hypatia of Alexandria.
Fanaticism is the effect of a false consciousness that subjects religion to the whims of fancy and disorder of the passions.
can refer to any belief akin to a person or group. In extreme cases in which fanaticism than rationality.
· can reach dangerous extremes, such as killing or imprisoning human beings.
· symptoms can include as an unconditional desire to impose that belief, considered good for the fan.
Hypatia was born in Alexandria in 355 in a time when the study and the importance of science and knowledge were almost forgotten.
She was intelligent and open to all knowledge. He was educated in an academic environment and worship. His father Theon transmitted his knowledge of mathematics and astronomy, learned knowledge of religions and philosophies of the time. He invented a hydrometer, which was used to distill water.
She defended the heliocentric model and the house became a place of learning where students came from all over the world.
was pagan, but had no problem with Christians, until it became one of the most scientifically and this evil witch tried her.
In the year 415, Hypatia was murdered by a fanatical group of monks from the church of St. Cyril, pounced on her, beat her and dragged her across town to get to Cesareo. There, after undressing, stoned tiled up dismembered. Then his body was paraded through the city until they came to another temple where the cremated.
To make the aesthetics of the work (pictured), we have relied on the text and it highlighted the following features:
- ; The numbers represent their intelligence and learning in mathematics.
- The witch goes to the left you identify the taunts that made him for wanting to be smart, accusing him of wicked witch.
- What hangs from his neck is an astrolabe, it was the first person to create, based on heliocentric theory, and that by Aristarchus. Along with that, we emphasize the sun from his eye, which represents the theory, the sun being the center of the universe and the Earth as everyone thought.
- The "cap" on his head, made with a pyramid, stands to Alexandria, his hometown.
- Finally, the headband in her hair shows how it was his death, as I said earlier, the tiled stoned and then burned her remains.
