Com esses pressupostos discuto suas principais idéias, articulando éom autores que influenciaram e fundamentaram sua filosófica como Paul Louis Landsberg, Gabriel Marcel, Max Scheler, Paul Ricoeur, indo também ao encontro de Buber no que se referem alguns conceitos discutidos por ele e que guardam grandes aproximações com o pensamento de Mounier. Os elementos essenciais da idéia de Mounier são a existência incorporada e encarnada no mundo, a comunicação, a vocação e a liberdade. Logo, o modelo político que melhor poderia favorecer esse tipo de comunidade é a sua proposta de um projeto personalista, cuja estrutura social, política e econômica tivesse como primazia a pessoa, acima das instituições ou processo político e econômico, a qual está sedimentada no ser comunitário. O caminho para se chegar a esse modelo seria uma revolução permanente, sobretudo, uma revolução espiritual, fruto de uma descentralização social e econômica que reestruturaria toda a sociedade. / The present work explains the proposal of Mounier's social, political, christian and ethical philosophy leaded by his philosophical anthropology which mainstay is the Person conceived not only in it's personality - essential vocation of existence - but, overall, in it's comunitary dimension, social/political, transcedental and in the comprehension of the Person like a human being within another surrounding the idea of comunity as the social structure which best allows for Human Beings perform their relational natures. Within that proposal, I intend to discuss Mounier´s main ideas articulated with authors whose influenced directly Mounier's philosophy like Paul Louis Landsberg, Gabriel Marcel, Max Scheler and Paul Ricouer, going towards Buber's ideas, which some concepts of his thought have a big approximation with Mounier's main ideas. The essential elements of Mounier's ideas are the incorporated and incarnated existence in the world itself, comunication, vocation and freedom. Thus, the political model which would better support this kind of communinity is the proposal of a project based in a personalism, which social, political and economic structures are founded in the primacy of the person, above institutions, political or economic processes and which person is based in a comunitary being. The path to attain this model would be a permanet revolution, overall, a spiritual revolution, product of a social and economic decentralization wich would restructure society utterly.

The aim of this study is to attempt a re-conceptualisation of ethics and politics away from the well-rehearsed structure of singularity versus community, particularity or individuality versus universality, as well as from the inadequate dyadic positioning of these sets of terms. Dominant scholarship on Lévinas's and Derrida's work has generally been divided into those who see Derrida's work as continuing the Lévinasian legacy, and thus having little to offer to the political, and those who would like to divorce the trajectory of deconstruction from the Lévinasian heritage, and thus reveal it as being inherently political. The above split in opinion is largely based on a divergence in the interpretation of Lévinas's own writings as essentially about ethics, and therefore as either having little to offer to our thinking of the political, or as undergoing something like a ‘split', with the focus coming to rest more clearly on politics through the figure of the third, in later writings. My contribution to this impasse is to foreground a recent, though much overlooked notion within Jacques Derrida's work as an alternative to thinking being-with: that of community of singularities. I also suggest the notions of alteronomy and fiendship as alternatives to thinking being-with, which take into account the way in which the other-within-the-self restructures the concepts of freedom and autonomy and takes them beyond a humanist context. I will be arguing from two overarching points: a) that Lévinas's own work can convincingly be interpreted as not only concerned with the political from his earliest writings, but as setting up the political as the interruptive force within the ethical, thus providing a shift in perspective for what is essentially a mutually-interruptive relation between ethics and politics, and b) that Derrida's own writing need not be ‘divorced' from Lévinas's trajectory of thought, in order to be considered as having something to offer to our re-thinking of the relation between ethics and politics.

Pesquisa do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul - FAPERGS / This work aims to expose the critique of ontology and subject in the work of Emmanuel Levinas. We shall see, from his first works onwards, the origin of aexistents in existence that tries to escape himself, to evade himself. This being, this subject that is the ?I?, lives in a world in which he is able to maintain himself through work and consumption. But the ?I? encounters a resisting being, the ?Other?. We will show how in the I a Desire comes to existence that opens in him the possibility of receiving this Otherness, in a way that the ethical relationship between the I and the Other becomes possible. We will see the importance of the erotical relationship for the author, for it is opening, through the child, to the relationships in society and society itself, besides constituting the transcendence of the I in his son. We shall analyze some questions about the feminine. To better understand its nature in the tought of Levinas. We will approach, at last, of responsibility which constitutes the subjectivity of the I in the relationship with the other, so that the I becomes ?one-for-another?, and even substitution. Since the relationship of responsibility is only possible in the ?face-to-face?, between two terms, justice emerges so that the third is not excluded from ethics, so that responsibility pervades the relationships in society. / Este trabalho tem como objetivo evidenciar na obra de Emmanuel Levinas a cr?tica a ontologia e ao sujeito. Veremos, desde seus primeiros trabalhos, o surgimento de um existente na exist?ncia que tenta escapar de si, evadir-se. Este existente, este sujeito que ? o eu, vive em um mundo no qual consegue se manter atrav?s do trabalho e do consumo. Por?m, o eu encontra um ser que resiste, o Outro. Mostraremos como no eu surge o Desejo que abre nele a possibilidade de acolher esta alteridade, de modo que a rela??o ?tica entre o Eu e o Outro seja poss?vel. Veremos a import?ncia da rela??o er?tica para o autor, pois ? a abertura, atrav?s do filho, para as rela??es em sociedade e para a pr?pria sociedade, al?m de ser a transcend?ncia do eu em seu filho. Analisaremos algumas quest?es acerca do feminino, para melhor compreender sua relev?ncia no pensamento de Levinas. Trataremos, por ?ltimo, da responsabilidade que constitui a subjetividade do eu na rela??o com o Outro, de maneira que o eu se torna um-para-o-outro, at? a substitui??o. Como a rela??o de responsabilidade somente ? poss?vel no face a face, entre dois termos, a justi?a surge para que o terceiro n?o seja exclu?do da ?tica, de maneira que a responsabilidade perpassa as rela??es em sociedade.

Ce mémoire analyse l’histoire et le développement des relations franco-africaines du colonialisme au XXIe siècle. Je montre comment, à chaque étape de ces relations, que ce soit pendant le colonialisme, la décolonisation, la Françafrique ou "l'amitié" de Macron, l'objectif de l'État français n'a pas changé : préserver l'Afrique comme le pré carré de la France. Je soutiens qu'au XXIe siècle, alors que le continent africain se mondialise de plus en plus, l'État français cherche désespérément à renforcer ses liens avec ses anciennes colonies, notamment par l'éducation, la langue et la culture. Bien qu'Emmanuel Macron déclare que la Françafrique est terminée, sa stratégie visant à faire appel à la jeunesse africaine fait écho à la tactique de la « mission civilisatrice » du colonialisme français. Je soutiens donc que des questions concernant l'héritage colonial français, et leur impact sur l’identité africaine, restent essentielles même au XXIe siècle.

Dans ce mémoire, nous nous proposons de montrer que le concept kantien de chose en soi est à la fois un concept métaphysique et un concept critique. En ce sens, la chose en soi doit être comprise comme un objet transcendantal réel qui existe à titre de cause des phénomènes. Si, contrairement à ce que soutenaient F.H. Jacobi (1787) et G.E. Schulze (1791), cela ne suppose pas de sortir du criticisme, c'est qu'une telle affirmation prend la forme d'une connaissance analogique qui respecte les limites de la connaissance humaine. De fait, la connaissance analogique permet de pointer en direction de quelque chose dont la nature (Beschaffenheit) peut demeurer problématique, tout en permettant d'affirmer son existence (Dasein). Nous serons dès lors conduite à montrer que la Critique de la raison pure fournit bel et bien les outils nécessaires permettant de rendre compte de l’existence des choses en soi à titre de causes des phénomènes. / In the following thesis, we will claim that Kant’s concept of a thing-in-itself is both a metaphysical and a critical concept. Accordingly, the thing-in-itself must be understood as a real transcendental object that grounds phenomena. Thus, we maintain – contrary to F.H. Jacobi’s (1787) and G.E. Schulze’s (1791) harsh objections – that this assertion does not violate the structures of critical philosophy. Indeed, this particular claim is arrived at through analogical cognition, which does not transgress the boundaries of human knowledge: as a matter of fact, analogical cognition allows us to point towards and assert the existence (Dasein) of something the nature (Beschaffenheit) of which may remain problematic. Thus, we believe that Kant’s metaphysical commitment with regard to the existence of the thing-in-itself as ground of phenomena can be fully justified within the Critique of Pure Reason.

Du déclin de la religiosité cléricale, associé à la période historique de la Renaissance et de la modernité, on voit naître un Occident industriel, raisonnable, émancipé. Arrive subséquemment le 20e siècle avec deux guerres menées par la technique, raisonnables. La raison éclairée semble avoir échoué à sa promesse d'émancipation. Des philosophes s'interrogent sur le problème et tentent de voir de quelles façons le logos a pu mener et même justifier ces moments inédits de l'histoire. Ils ouvrent les voies d'une possible reconstruction d'« humanité ». Ce mémoire montre que leurs discours, plus particulièrement ceux d'Emmanuel Levinas et de Walter Benjamin (tous deux juifs et contemporains des deux Guerres mondiales), sont teintés d'une certaine religiosité et d'un rapport avec une « transcendance ». Celle-ci est ancrée dans l'expérience, notamment dans l'éthique et le langage. Les voies de la recomposition philosophique face à « l'échec des Lumières » passent-elles nécessairement par une réintroduction du religieux? Le dialogue culturel est-il religieux en lui-même? Nous offrons des pistes de réponse à ces questions en réfléchissant sur la place du judaïsme dans notre culture, prenant appui pour ce faire sur les écrits de Shmuel Trigano. Les œuvres de Levinas et de Benjamin indiquent ainsi qu'au cœur d'une philosophie rationnelle, la transcendance ne devient plus condition extérieure, irrationnelle, mais bien cœur et nécessité - hors-catégorie peut-on dire - d'un penser logique. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Walter Benjamin, Emmanuel Levinas, judaïsme, transcendance, rationalité, éthique, épistémologie, crise culturelle, philosophie, langage.

The numerous illustrations--or better yet demonstrations--in Viollet-le-Duc's Dictionnaire Raisonne of Gothic architecture were the most powerful means of implementing biological metaphors in order to transfer or situate the discourse of architecture within the realm of nineteenth century positivistic science. Viollet-le-Duc borrowed dissective strategies of representation from the field of anatomy to implement his alternate 'vision' for appropriating architectural knowledge. By inscribing anatomical metaphors within his architectural drawings, Viollet-le-Duc could filter the viewer's conception of architecture through his own appropriation of anatomy's critical and selective methods of representation. This scientific approach to architectural drawing was in perfect harmony with Viollet-le-Duc's textual and conceptual mission in the Dictionnaire to not only demystify architectural knowledge as practiced at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, but also to critically reconfigure the reader's relationship to it according to his own system. Through this process, it was his intent to change the public's way of thinking and seeing architecture.

This practice-led research was initiated in response to a series of violent encounters that occurred between my fragile installations and viewers. The central focus of this study was to recuperate my installation practice in the wake of such events. This led to the development of a ‘responsive practice’ methodology, which reframed the installation process through an ethical lens developed from Emmanuel Levinas’ ethical phenomenology. The central propositions of this research are the reconceptualisation of ‘violent encounters’ in terms of difference whereby I accept viewers responses, even those which are violent, destructive or damaging, and secondly that the process operates as a generative excess for practice through which recuperative strategies can be found and implemented. By re-examining this process as it unfolded in the three phases of the practical component, I developed strategies whereby violated, destroyed or damaged works could be recuperated through the processes of reconfiguration, reparation and regeneration. Therefore my installations embody and articulate vulnerability but also demonstrate resilience and renewal.
