Entre silêncios expressivos : a circularidade do diálogo a partir da fenomenologia de Merleau-Ponty

Abstract

The present work intends to reflect on the dialogical experience while involved in a relational field permeated by expressive silences. For this purpose, a hermeneutic reading of some texts by Merleau-Ponty will be made, which will start with the Phenomenology of Perception; it will pass through the notion of ambiguity of the human experience, explained in the course on Nature, and through the essays in The Prose of the World; and it will approach the ontology of reversibility expressed in the work The Visible and the Invisible and in the text Eye and Mind. In the first three chapters, the objective will be to show how expressively perceptive bodies (1) silently move their linguistic senses (2) through a phenomenon of dialogical reversibility that occurs in a sensitive opening and an expressive distance (3). Finally, a critical deviation about this elucidated experience will be proposed, guided by the reading of the sociologist Hartmut Rosa and the philosopher Marina Garcés (4). The question posed in the final chapter will be: how is a dialogic circularity possible in the context of a society of acceleration that produces an extreme alienating distance and hinders the experiences of resonant opening?
