rosewall hill ring cairn. the pin indicates the most northerly (triangular) stone one of sixteen retaining stones and its highest; most are less than 0.3m high, but this stone stands at 1.2m. there are several slab stones lying beyond the kerb, that could be further displaced retaining stones. it lies on the northern slope below a central tor of the three individual clusters that make up rosewall hill. #ringcairn, #bronzeagearchaeology, #archaeology, #kerbstone, #rosewall, #rosewallhill, #westpenwith, #ancientcornwall,

The aesthetic realm, for Pannekoek, was a manifestation of the way in which the human mind is able to build order out of the disorder of the cosmos. As Johan Hartle writes: “This idea of a profound isomorphism between cosmic order, nature, human society, and even the individual subject. . . held the promise of a society based on a self-regulating system of material forces”. The Milky Way images, then, are not images of the sky so much as cosmic mirrors for the human subject, revealing the interplay between the individual and the collective, between thought and matter, and the deep correspondence between art, science, and politics. ‘ Lauren Colleeis a writer and doctoral researcher looking at the Dark Sky movement at Goldsmiths, University of London. #marxistastronomy, #marxism, #astronomyphotography, #astronomydrawing, #dialecticalthinking, #dialecticalmaterialism, #dialecticalmethod, #ipannekoek, @laurencolleeis, @carolynkennett
