Carlo Parcelli

Carlo Parcelli has spent 40 years studying the epistemology of science

and technology and their effect on the natural world and naturally

evolved cultures. He specifically challenged the efficacy of progressive

systems of quantification, mathematization, mathematical discretion,

formal systems game theory etc., since these elements form the core of

the way western man can think about his world and all the limitations

such an epistemology implies. Parcelli has written 14 book length poems

which embed numerous sources and elaborate in great detail his

insights. He has also written numerous articles. Now, he is content to

watch the Earth scribble its own Apocalyptic Epic in real time.

Having failed to reach virtually anyone concerning his epistemological

concerns and seeing the natural world taking its future into its

own hands via global climate change, Parcelli embarked on a retelling

of the Synoptic Gospels. The Canaanite Gospel is comprised of 88

monologues, primarily eyewitness accounts known as Divine Depositions,

recorded by the Apostle Simon Kananaios or Simon the Zealot

in the First Century A.D.

He currently spends his evenings busking local bars in the Washington

DC area dressed as Simon Kananaios, performing his monologues

in exchange for drinks and the occasional monetary remuneration. Visit carloparcelli.com for performance videos and more.
