Description of work:

My name is Olivia Cattedra. I live and work in Buenos Aires, 
Argentina. I have a Ph.d. in oriental studies and in philosophy, and 
my first area of research is advaita vedanta. I worked with 
Gaudapada's Mandukya karika, after with The upadeshasahasri of 
Shankara, and with the major dialogues of the Chandogya Up. My thesis 
was about the concept of reality and irreality from Gaudapada to 
Shankara. After, I was studing some areas of Plotinus' concept of 
soul, since my director, Dr. Francisco Garcia Bazan, is a specialist in 
neoplatonism, and we choose to investigate some comparative points. 
Now I have finished an article about karma and memory in indian texts 
and on some points of the Enneads. This year I might introduce some 
research on the continuity and transformations of the classic yoga 
before and after Patanjali, especially in the Yoga Vashista.
