Abstract
In this seminar we will be discussing two papers, both of which take Husserl’s “Origin of Geometry” as a seminal text, and each delve in different “territories” which might have served as grounds for the emergence of geometry: craftwork and language. Both, craftwork and language mesh with innumerable prehistoric practices, as ancient as geometry itself was. These exploratory and speculative ideas inspire and provoke critical questions about prevalent images of geometry and mathematics in contemporary societies.
