Conceptual map




The conceptual map explains the relation between new and used, as transformation of an object in its life-cycle, characterized by some specific actions: to innovate, to inugurate, to use, to last, to get old and to reuse.

The passage from artisan to industrial era


The comprehension of the adjectives new/used have a different meaning in the two eras: artisan and industrial. We can say that in the artisan era new things were realated to the functionality, it was something that has a new function what was considered new, instead in the industrial era something new is no longer associated to function but to fashion and esthetics. Also the duration of objects in artisan era was longer than in the industrial one, what means that the period of use of objects is shorter now than in artisan era.

Disposable


A disposable (also called disposable product) is a product designed for cheapness and short-term convenience rather than medium to long-term durability, with most products only intended for single use. The term is also sometimes used for products that may last several months (ex. disposable air filters) to distinguish from similar products that last indefinitely (ex. washable air filters).

Used as secondhand


A second-hand or used good is one that is being purchased by or otherwise transferred to a second or later end user. A used good can also simply mean it is no longer in the same condition as it was when it was first transferred to the current end user.

Change of status



In this map we analyze phenomena that change status of an object: innovation, reuse, and recycling make objects new while fatigue, wear and age transform an object from new to used.

The myth of the Phoenix



The phoenix (Ancient Greek: Φοῖνιξ, phoínix; Persian: ققنوس; Arabic: العنقاء) is a mythical sacred firebird that can be found in the mythologies of the Persians, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Chinese, and Phoenicians.
Phoenix is a fire spirit with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends). It has a 500 to 1000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites; both nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arises, reborn anew to live again.
The new phoenix is destined to live as long as its old self. In some stories, the new phoenix embalms the ashes of its old self in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis (literally "sun-city" in Greek). It is said that the bird's cry is that of a beautiful song. The Phoenix's ability to be reborn from its own ashes imply that it is immortal, though in some stories the new Phoenix is merely the offspring of the older one. In very few stories they are able to change into people.



Phoenix depicted in the book of mythological creatures by F.J. Bertuch (1747-1822)
