Cette thèse se concentre sur ce que j'appelle «l’espace négatif» de la représentation dans la poésie de Stevens comme étant un véritable espace d'engagement politique, une interprétation qui se distingue de la plus grande partie de la critique sur Stevens. En suivant les écrits philosophiques d'Emmanuel Levinas, j'affirme que l'emphase que Stevens place sur la représentation de la représentation elle-même ouvre un espace au-delà des limites rigides de l'identité-ce que Levinas appelle « le je [sujet] semblable », permettant un contact authentique avec « l'Autre» ainsi qu’avec le concept de « l'infini ». Bien que Stevens s’est farouchement opposé à la notion Romantique de la sublime transcendance, c’est-à-dire d'un espace censé exister en dehors des limites de l'imagination humaine, il se concerne néanmoins avec l'exploration d'un espace au-delà de l'identité individuelle. Pour Stevens, cependant, « la transcendance» est toujours, nécessairement, liée par les restrictions reconnues du langage humain et de l'imagination, et donc par la réalité du monde perceptible. Toute « transcendance» qui est recherchée ou atteinte, dans la poésie de Stevens ne devrait donc pas - ma thèse affirme - être entendu dans le sens sublime déterminé auparavant par les Romantiques. Une connexion plus appropriée peut plutôt être faite avec la transcendance concrète et immédiate décrit par Lévinas comme le «face à face ». L’attention que Stevens accordent aux notions concrètes et immédiates est souvent exprimé à travers son attention sur les qualités esthétiques de la langue. Sa poésie a en effet la poésie pour sujet, mais pas dans le sens solipsiste qui lui est souvent attribué. En se concentrant sur le processus actif et créateur inhérent à l'écriture et à la lecture de la poésie, Stevens explore la nature de l'Etre lui-même. Je compare cette exploration dans le travail de Stevens à celle du dessinateur, ou de l'artiste, et dans ma conclusion, je suggère les liens entre l'approche d'enquête de Stevens et celle d’artistes visuels contemporains qui se sont également engagés à la figuration du processus créatif. L’ artiste sud-africain William Kentridge est mon exemple principal , en raison de sa conviction que la méthode est intrinsèquement liée à l'engagement politique et social. / This dissertation focuses on what I refer to as a “negative-space” of representation in the poetry of Wallace Stevens’s in order to explore what, contrary to the bulk of Stevens research to date, I understand to be a genuine politics of engagement. Drawing on the philosophical writings of Emmanuel Levinas, I argue that Stevens’s emphasis on the representation of representation itself opens up a space beyond the rigid limitations of identity—what Levinas refers to as the “I of the same”—allowing genuine contact with the concept of “the infinite,” or “the Other.” Though Stevens staunchly opposed himself to the Romantic notion of sublime transcendence—of a space purported to exist outside the limits of the human imagination—he nonetheless concerns himself with the exploration of just such a space “beyond” individual identity. For Stevens, however, “transcendence” is always, necessarily, bound by the acknowledged restrictions of human language and imagination and therefore by the reality of the perceivable world. Any “transcendence” that is sought, or achieved, in Stevens’s work should not, therefore, be understood in the sublime sense intended by the earlier Romantics—a more apt connection can instead be made with the concrete and immediate transcendence described by Levinas as the “face to face.” Stevens’s concern for the concrete and the immediate is often expressed through his attention to the aesthetic qualities of language. His is indeed a poetry about poetry—but not in the limited, solipsistic sense that is often assumed. In concentrating on the active, creative process inherent to writing and reading poetry, Stevens explores the nature of Being itself. I compare this exploration in Stevens’s work to that of the draftsman, or to the artist’s sketch, and in my conclusion suggest the connections between Stevens’s investigative approach and contemporary visual artists who are also committed to the figuration of the creative process. South African artist William Kentridge provides my chief example, due to his conviction that the method is linked intrinsically to political and social engagement.

The main purpose of the present study is to explore how the ethical relationship between teacher and student in the classroom can be described and understood from the approach of the French philosopher Emmanuel Lévinas. I also examine the theoretical concepts that can be derived from Lévinas’ ideas in order to be able to interpret the manner in which this ethical relationship manifests itself in the classroom. The empirical data was generated through observation of the kind often found in ethnographical studies like microanalyses using a variety of digital techniques. I also made use of direct observation and stimulated recall interviews in close connection with the classroom events. The study was carried out at two Swedish schools and the focus was placed on classroom practice and ethical communication in the classroom. Facial expressions, eye contact, gestures and other non-verbal communication was of great interest. Through microanalysis of classroom interaction I have attempted to uncover what exists under the surface of the classroom communication in more detail. According to Lévinas, ethics is understood as a relation of the infinitive responsibility to the Other person. In a pedagogical context, we may speak of the ”first meeting” face-to-face before any categorization of the other individual is formulated. The key concepts are Saying (in relation to the Said), the Other, the Face, asymmetrical relationships and alterity. In their encounter with the empirical data collected, the concepts have been freighted with edagogical significance. These original ethical thoughts of Lévinas, much of which challenge what has previously been taken for granted, can provide new insight into educational work. This investigation has provided other insights into the ethical dimension of education, especially as the teacher-student relationship is concerned. The close connection between vulnerability and interdependence in the teacher-student relationship, and communication as self-exposure, are important findings that can help teachers and pedagogues to understand the ethical dimension of the educational encounter with the student. Throughout the study, a relational ethical perspective has been developed as an alternative interpretative tool for analyzing and reflecting upon the teacher-student relationship.

Zvolil jsem si téma etiky ve filmu Slib (1996) tvůrců Jeana-Pierra Dardennea a Luca Dardennea jakožto příkladovou studii užití filozofie, v tomto případě filozofie francouzského filozofa Emmanuela Levinase (1906–1995), a jak jeho filozofie ovlivňuje všechny aspekty vyprávění. Ačkoliv se nejedná o jedinou možnou interpretaci jejich díla, myšlenky Levinase jsou nejvíce relevantní jak pro příběh, tak i pro vyšší intelektuální cíle filmu. Zde je jeho pojem etiky jádrem postav a vyprávění až do bodu, kde se film sám o sobě stává testem pro přijatelnost Levinasovy filozofie, jako myšlenkového experimentu ve filmové podobě. Přijatelnost Levinasovy filozofie zůstává na konci filmu neprokázána. I přes filozofické a vyprávěcí nedostatky je Slib dobrým příkladem užití filozofie ve filmu, v jehož lepších částech se ukazuje síla tohoto přístupu, nicméně v horších částech můžeme vidět nebezpečí, které z tohoto přístupu vychází. V následujících filmech je zřejmé, že se bratři Dardenneové poučili ze svých chyb.

Furthermore, from studies of Figueiredo (1996), it is established the importance of ethos as a search for a place to the Other in the constitution of psychologies. In what refers to the place of the Other in the constitution of subjectivity, Freire (2002) investigates the place to alterity in several modern psychologies and states that in PCA, the place for Levinas’ radical alterity is vacant, as in other psychologies. The Other, as postulated by Levinas (2008 [1961]), is precedent and transcendent to the I; not being possible to totalize and understand it fully; it shows the dimension of the strange in the psychological experience. This Other is not so dear figure to psychologies as it appears to be. On the other hand, Peter Schmid (1999) conceives that ethics is the first issue to be considered when it comes to PCA, either its theory or its practice. Hence, the present paper aims to present the work of Peter Schmid to the Brazilian community of Rogerian approach. The perspective of this author is grounded in an important dialogue with the philosophies of dialogue and a vision of the human as radically a person, which offers another way to face the alterity in Rogerian theory and practice. Such change presents a fruitful approach to ethical philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas. A methodology for the study, we used an almost-in-method inspired by the philosophies of Levinas (2008 [1961]) and Derrida (2007), in which we seek, among other things, to put on display the polysemy of the studied speeches. We conclude that, despite the divergences among the prospect formulated by Schmid with Levinasian ethics, doing readings of the main concepts of the PCA, it shows a closer relationship with that one and a new way of dealing with the alterity within the framework of the Rogerian approach. With this work, we hope to foment a greater dialogue and production on the clinical and psychotherapeutic care of the person and the place offered to otherness in Rogerian psychology. / A Abordagem Centrada na Pessoa (ACP), fundada por Carl Rogers, só pode ser justificada a partir de um conjunto de valores e de uma ética e não somente como uma aplicação de técnicas e conhecimentos. Além disto, a partir dos estudos de Figueiredo (1996) fica estabelecida a importância do éthos como busca de um lugar para o Outro na constituição das psicologias. Naquilo que se refere ao Lugar do Outro na constituição da subjetividade, Freire (2002) investiga o lugar para a alteridade nas diversas psicologias modernas e afirma que, na ACP, o lugar para a alteridade radical levinasiana está vacante, assim como nas demais psicologias. O Outro, conforme postulado por Lévinas (2008 [1961]), é precedente e transcendente ao Eu; não sendo possível totalizá-lo e compreendê-lo inteiramente, ele apresenta a dimensão do estranho na experiência psicológica. Este Outro não é figura tão cara para as psicologias como aparenta ser. Por outro lado, Peter Schmid (1999) concebe que a ética é a primeira questão a ser pensada quando se trata da ACP, quer de sua teoria, quer de sua prática. Daí que este trabalho objetivou apresentar a obra de Peter Schmid à comunidade brasileira da abordagem rogeriana. A perspectiva deste autor está alicerçada em um diálogo importante com as filosofias do diálogo e uma visão do humano como radicalmente pessoa, o que oferece outra forma de encarar a alteridade na teoria e prática rogerianas. Tal mudança apresenta uma profícua aproximação com a filosofia ética de Emmanuel Lévinas. Como metodologia para o estudo, utilizou-se um quase-método inspirado nas filosofias de Lévinas (2008 [1961]) e Derrida (2008), em que buscamos, entre outras coisas, pôr à mostra a polissemia dos discursos estudados. Concluiu-se que, apesar da perspectiva formulada por Schmid apresentar divergências com a ética levinasiana, ao fazer releituras dos principais conceitos da ACP, ela apresenta uma maior aproximação com aquela e uma nova forma de lidar com a alteridade dentro do arcabouço da abordagem rogeriana. Espera-se, com este trabalho, fomentar um maior diálogo e produção acerca do cuidado clínico e psicoterapêutico com a pessoa e o lugar oferecido para a alteridade na psicologia rogeriana.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Tese Ricardo Almeida de Paula.pdf: 575942 bytes, checksum: 0ec317ec0ef5e61d733726a1b2025646 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2010-08-27 / This thesis has as main purpose to study Emmanuel Mounier´s personalist thought as shown in his Oeuvres edited by Paulette Mounier in four volumes, published by Editions du Seuil from 1961 to 1963. The personalism is a movement with a wide philosophic renews and has the person as its core. In this manner, the study of being a person has its implications on Education. According with its Christian anthropological premise the Mounier´s philosophy sees the human being gifted with a imago, image, and throughout his transcendence with imago Dei, God´s image. The study of Mounier´s works and thinkers in the personalist context and philosophy of Education gave us perception of centrality of the person role as reference on contemporaneity. We affirm that personalism was lived as a philosophy which has the person as its core and therefore it is an Integral humanism, nevertheless the person´s concept and idea come from Mounier´s professed christianism, in this manner a Christian humanism. We assured that the personalism is a philosophy. The problem comes because Mounier marked his thought as an attitude more than a doctrine. However, personalism is a philosophy because it does not miss to it accuracy na systematization. Notwithstanding, it is a philosophy outdoor, out of academic walls, a lived and acted philosophy, a pluriform philosophic proposal, having the human person as its convergence center. We elucidated that the personalist thought is not underneath to the philosophical Brazilian thought building, on the contrary it was forbidden due the confusion made by the military system which understood its Marxist or communist and therefore prejudicial to the nation. Throughout social and communitarians movements as CEBs, JEC, JUC, AP, where had participated thinkers like Alceu Amoroso Lima and Henrique Lima Vaz the conscience of being personal in a repressive context and educational was of crucial importance for social-historical-educational development in Brazil. We discussed the meaning of the word education showing to be this changing and valorative attitude concerning the person that aims the transformation of the being of human person. We distinguished educational practice of institutional school practice, being the first understands the human educability and the second seeks to maintain the order ideologically established. We got the conclusion that the perceived crisis in the educational behavior was triggered by the person absence as being of education. The absence of a more defined anthropology, integral and proper about human person gives variable character to the education according to its thought about human being and humanization. Through Mounier´s thought we can retake the person´s concept as itself rescuing him in his communitarian-social aspect and at the same time as the center of all educational proposals. / Esta tese tem como principal objetivo estudar o pensamento personalista de Emmanuel Mounier conforme apresentado nas Oeuvres editadas por Paulette Mounier em quatro volumes, publicadas pelas Editions du Seuil, de 1961-1963. O personalismo constitui-se como um movimento de ampla renovação filosófica que tem como centro a pessoa. Desta sorte, o estudo do ser pessoa tem suas implicações na educação. Dentro de sua premissa antropológica cristã, a filosofia mounierista percebe o ser humano dotado de uma imago, imagem, e, mediante sua transcendência, de imago Dei, imagem de Deus. O estudo das obras de Mounier, e pensadores no contexto do personalismo e da filosofia da educação nos deu a percepção da centralidade do papel da pessoa enquanto referência na contemporaneidade. Afirmamos que o personalismo foi vivido como uma filosofia que tem a pessoa como centro, portanto, um humanismo integral, contudo, a idéia e conceito de pessoa partem do cristianismo professado por Mounier, dessa forma, um humanismo cristão. Afirmamos que o personalismo é uma filosofia. A problemática se instaura pelo fato de Mounier o ter assinalado mais como uma atitude do que como doutrina. Contudo, o personalismo é uma filosofia, pois, não lhe faltam o rigor e a sistematização. Porém, uma filosofia postulada fora dos muros acadêmicos, uma filosofia vivida e agida, uma proposta filosófica pluriforme, com o centro de convergência para a pessoa humana. Elucidamos que o pensamento personalista não é subjacente à construção do pensamento filosófico brasileiro, ao contrário, foi proibido devido à confusão feita pelo regime militar taxando-o de marxista , comunista e, portanto, pernicioso à nação. Através dos movimentos sociais-comunitários como as CEBs, JEC, JUC, AP, dos quais participaram pensadores da ordem de Alceu Amoroso Lima e Henrique Lima Vaz, a consciência de ser pessoal num contexto repressivo e educacional foi de crucial importância para o desenvolvimento sócio-históricoeducacional no Brasil. Discutimos a concepção do termo educação mostrando ser esta uma atitude transformadora e valorativa da pessoa, que visa todas as áreas da existência humana e, ainda, visa a transformação do ser da pessoa humana. Distinguimos a prática educativa da prática escolar institucionalizada, sendo que a primeira percebe a educabilidade humana e a segunda procura manter ordem ideologicamente estabelecida. Concluímos que a crise percebida no meio educacional foi deflagrada pela ausência da pessoa como ser da educação. Ausência de uma antropologia mais definida, integral e própria sobre a pessoa humana, confere à educação um caráter variável a respeito do que entende por ser humano e humanização. Através do pensamento de Mounier podemos retomar o conceito de pessoa enquanto tal resgatando-a em seu aspecto comunitário-social e ao mesmo tempo como centro de toda proposta educacional.

Victimes et bourreaux témoignent de la double dégradation, anthropologique et morale, subie par la figure de l’homme à Auschwitz. Hannah Arendt et Emmanuel Lévinas, tous deux Juifs et nés en 1906, ont tenté de retrouver le sens de la dignité humaine après la Shoah. Partageant la même admiration embarrassée pour la pensée de Martin Heidegger, dont ils ont suivi l’enseignement, ils s’engagent dans des voies philosophiques très différentes. Alors qu’Arendt met en avant l’espace politique comme lieu d’expression de la pluralité et de reconnaissance publique des différences individuelles, Lévinas fait de l’éthique la « philosophie première » et situe le proprement humain dans la responsabilité infinie pour autrui. Là où Arendt insiste sur l’importance de la pensée et du jugement dans la recherche des normes morales, Lévinas soutient que la lutte contre le mal est indissociable de la réponse à l’appel du Bien.Deux axes problématiques guident, dans ce travail, la confrontation entre les deux philosophes : l’articulation entre universalité et diversité d’une part ; le lien entre éthique et politique d’autre part. L’enjeu étant l’organisation d’un monde commun pour l’expression et la préservation de la dignité humaine. / The victims and the torturers attest to both the human and moral degradation suffered by the figure of man at Auschwitz.Hannah Arendt and Emmanuel Lévinas, both Jews and born in 1906, attempted to recover the meaning of human dignity after the Holocaust. Despite sharing the same embarrassed admiration for the thought of Martin Heidegger, whose courses they followed, they choose very different philosophical paths.While Arendt emphasizes the political space as the place where plurality is expressed and individual differences are publicly acknowledged, Lévinas makes ethics « first philosophy » and situates what is essentially human within infinite responsibility for the Other. Where Arendt insists on the importance of thought and judgment in the search for moral standards, Lévinas holds that the struggle against evil is inseparable from responding to the call of the Good.In this thesis, two critical themes guide the comparison between each philosopher: the connection between universality and diversity on one hand; and, the link between ethics and politics on the other. The issue at stake is the organization of a shared world for the expression and the preservation of human dignity.
