Encyclical
“Perma-encyclical-video-letter is a media performance by Krune Jošt, recorded during the summer of 2022 in C4CS. This performance is intended for a wider audience as an encyclical, a term derived from the Greek *enkýklios*, (“to go in a circle,” “circular”) i.e., a document on important matters of faith and/or morals that the Pope sends as a circular letter addressed to bishops but also to all believers in the Catholic Church.
This is a Perma-encyclica, and it speaks about culture – cultivation, upbringing, and education, which naturally come with it. To nurture, encourage, or support, to nourish, is the general premise. Whether it concerns land or plants, art, communication, sound, life…
The Indo-European root of cultivation is “kwel,” which is the same for “cult,” “cycle,” “chakra,” etc. The wheel from Old English “hwēola,” “hweogola,” wheel from Germanic “hwewlaza,” circle: cyclo, cycloid, cyclone, cyclosis; bicycle, encyclical, epicycle from Greek *kuklós*, circle, wheel.”
