[pt] A morte e o morrer no mundo contemporâneo parecem se encontrar em um estado sem precedentes na história do ocidente. Esse estado é caracterizado pela chamada tecnologização da morte, conforme apontam alguns autores tratados na dissertação. Dado esse cenário, o objetivo do presente trabalho é investigar a morte no mundo contemporâneo, utilizando como chave de leitura elementos do pensamento do filósofo alemão Martin Heidegger. Ao tomar como base a chamada segunda fase da obra heideggeriana e outros pensadores, será possível: 1) oferecer uma caracterização histórica da morte no Ocidente, para que possa ser entendido como a atual situação se consolidou, e colocar os seus principais traços; 2) investigar a chamada hegemonia tecnocientífica, problematizando e salientando suas principais características e implicações no mundo contemporâneo; e 3) avaliar as possíveis alternativas que restariam ao homem nesse cenário de domínio tecnológico sobre a morte. / [en] Death and dying in the contemporary world seem to be in an unprecedented condition in the history of the West. This condition is characterized by the so-called technologization of death, as some authors considered in this text have pointed out. Given this scenario, the purpose of the present study is to investigate death in the contemporary world, through the thinking of the German philosopher Martin Heidegger as a key reading. Considering the second phase of Heidegger s work and the thought of other thinkers, it will be possible to: 1) offer a historical characterization of death in the West, so that how the current situation has been consolidated it can be understood, and highlight its main features; 2) investigate the so-called technoscientific hegemony, problematizing and emphasizing its main characteristics and implications in the contemporary world; and 3) evaluate the possible alternatives that would remain to man in this setting of technological domain over death.

Plasticene is an alternative term for Anthropocene, the proposed epoch that follows the Holocene and designates the beginning of significant human impact on Earth. While this moniker carries numerous implications across a range of disciplines, the scholarship of this thesis project is motivated by the creation and exhibition of a body of work that investigates the materiality and physical presence of technological convenience. Plasticene is an exhibition of four looping, digital video animations alongside two interactive sculptural installations. The video-based pieces are explorations into the medium of digital video and how it functions as a carrier of visual information. They were created through iterative manipulations of how that information is digitally compressed, organized, archived, and revealed. The sculptural works are attempts to amplify the physical presence of technologies that can often be hard to see. They were built to perform simple gestures and rely on engaging multiple senses to call into question the routine way in which we interact with different technological devices. This paper examines the essay "The Question Concerning Technology" by Martin Heidegger as a philosophical influence for this investigation before discussing several works by other artists to frame the works in Plasticene within a contemporary context. The individual works from the exhibition are then discussed with regard to their intention, conceptual motivation, and the process of their creation. / Master of Fine Arts / Plasticene is an alternative term for Anthropocene, the proposed epoch that follows the Holocene and designates the beginning of significant human impact on Earth.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Amir Abdala.pdf: 1390110 bytes, checksum: 60646d1505a6d3918197c2cda25dffe4 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-03-27 / The thesis deals with the death theme in Martin Heidegger s philosophical thought, examining it in the different phases that constitute Heidegger s philosophical itinerary. At Being and time (Sein und Zeit), study published in 1927 and with which this philosofer inscribes his name among the classics of the contemporary thought, the notion of being toward death (Sein zum Tode) is delineated in the center of its existential analysis, projeced from the concern in investigating the meaning of the being. In Heidegger s writings prior to the mid thirty decade, belonging to the titled turning (Kehre), the existential analysis is replaced by the speculations about the history of the being in its veiling e unveiling. In the turning texts, the human being is thought in its correspondence to the destinations of the being, and the death is considered under a new philosophical point of view, revealing itself, under this prism, the mortals who are the men (die Sterblichen sind die Menschen). In concise terms, therefore, it can be claimed that the research renders problematic the relations between being toward death and the mortals who are the men, properly contextualized in the guidelines of Heidegger s thought. In this perspective, it is achieved through an investigative and expository plan whose starting point, expressed in its first chapter, is the reflection about the Dasein as being toward death, trying to understand it in the range of the fundamental ontology. The second chapter intends to identify the tendencies of Heidegger s philosophy under the influx of the turning, featuring its interpretation metaphysics history as forgetfulness of the being and its explicit pretension of transcending the metaphysics, with the restitution of the human essence in its belonging to the being. The third chapter starts from Heidegger s declaration that the essence of the modern technic expresses the conclusion of the metaphysics as a complete hiding of the being, to identify the condition of the human being in the interior of this process and confront it with the notion of being toward death. Chapter four talks about Heidegger s conception of the human essence in its correspondence to the reciprocity originated between being and nothing, the abyss to which belong the mortals who are the men. Lastly, prior to the work s conclusion, the fifth chapter makes the direct comparison between being toward death and the mortals who are the men, with the intention of demarcating their distinctions and articulations / A tese versa sobre a temática da morte no pensamento filosófico de Martin Heidegger, examinando-a nas diferentes fases que constituem o itinerário da filosofia heideggeriana. Em Ser e tempo (Sein und Zeit), estudo publicado em 1927 e com o qual esse filósofo inscreve seu nome entre os clássicos do pensamento contemporâneo, delineia-se a noção de ser para a morte (Sein zum Tode) no centro de sua analítica existencial, projetada a partir da preocupação em investigar o sentido do ser. Nos escritos de Heidegger posteriores a meados da década de trinta, pertencentes à denominada viragem (Kehre), a analítica existencial é substituída pelas especulações acerca da história do ser em seu velamento e desvelamento. Nos textos da viragem, o ser humano é pensado em sua correspondência às destinações do ser, e a morte é considerada sob um novo ponto de vista filosófico, revelando-se, sob esse prisma, os mortais que são os homens (die Sterblichen sind die Menschen). Em termos concisos, portanto, pode-se afirmar que a pesquisa problematiza as relações entre o ser para a morte e os mortais que são os homens, devidamente contextualizados nas diretrizes do pensamento de Heidegger. Nessa perspectiva, realiza-se mediante um plano investigativo e expositivo cujo ponto de partida, expresso em seu primeiro capítulo, é a reflexão sobre o ser-aí (Dasein) como ser para a morte, procurando compreendê-lo no âmbito da ontologia fundamental. O segundo capítulo pretende identificar as tendências da filosofia heideggeriana sob o influxo da viragem, destacando-se sua interpretação da história da metafísica como esquecimento do ser e sua explícita pretensão de ultrapassagem da metafísica, com a restituição da essência humana em seu pertencimento ao ser. O terceiro capítulo parte da declaração heideggeriana de que a essência da técnica moderna exprime a conclusão da metafísica como completo ocultamento do ser, para identificar a condição do ente humano no interior desse processo e confrontá-la com a noção de ser para a morte. O capítulo quatro discorre sobre a concepção heideggeriana de essência humana em sua correspondência à reciprocidade originária entre ser e nada, a abissalidade à qual pertencem os mortais que são os homens. Por fim, antecedendo a conclusão do trabalho, o quinto capítulo efetua a comparação direta entre ser para a morte e os mortais que são os homens, com a intenção de demarcar suas distinções e articulações

Many of the early writings and lectures of the German phenomenological philosopher Martin Heidegger involve investigations into the question of Being. An important part of these investigations is his examination of how we go about the everyday business of existing--doing our jobs, dealing with things in our environment, working through problems, thinking, talking--and what our ways of operating in these everyday activities tell us about our Being in general. Musicians have their own everyday musical tasks, two of the most prominent of which are composing and performing. Composers and performers, like everyone else, have a 'world'--Heidegger's word for the structure of relationships between equipment, persons, and tasks and the way in which a person is situated in that structure--and that 'world' allows them to cope with their musical environment in ways that enable them to make music as composers and performers. Analyzing music is an activity that a Heideggerian approach sees as derived from the primary musical activities of composing and performing. A music analyst trades the possibility of primary musical involvement for a kind of involvement that points out determinate characteristics; hence in adopting an analytical stance, the analyst trades doing something musical for saying something about music. In making such a trade, however, a prior musical involvement--a basic musicality--is always presupposed. Every way of analyzing music has its own way of making determinations, and after detailing the manner of the derivation of the general analytical attitude, this study examines several types of analysis and the ways in which they exemplify the derivative nature of analytical activity. One extended example, an analysis of Jean Sibelius's The Swan of Tuonela, provides several opportunities for discussion (via interspersed passages of commentary) of a view of music analysis drawn from Heideggerian phenomenology.

We´ve chosen as an experience the practice of Aikido and the authorial reflections about it. The use of personal narrative, making the research building, became the own experience witnessing and investigation method, founded on Martin Heidegger´s hermeneutics. Questions about the self knowledgement emerged from the personal report about the author experience from he´s Aikido´s practice. We explained those questions as self caring disposal, and submitted it to a phenomenological analysis, done in three essays: The comprehension of its self as access to the way , where we explore the meaning and explain the knowledge of its self as a walking through the existence on its execution; The self knowledge and being-with , as from reflections about the others, we learn them as inseparable part of knowing its self, and we also reflect about the dwelling in the human ethos; The self knowledge and bodyhood , on this essay we discern the conception of body on the philosophical history from the conception of bodyhood for Heidegger´s Ontology. By doing so, we could think about the body (bodyhood) as fundamental for understanding the human existence. The conceptual probation we realize on these essays, allows us to understand those were the possible aspects to be accessed from the initial narrative. Such aspects we analyzed opened the reflection about the self knowledge´s theme that permeates the human existence on its everydayness, and its implications when thinking the Existential Phenomenological Clinics practices / O objetivo da pesquisa era compreender o que significa conhecer si mesmo em uma perspectiva fenomenológico existencial a partir de uma experiência em que há abertura para este conhecer-se. Escolhemos como experiência a prática do Aikido e as reflexões autorais oriundas desta prática. O uso da narrativa pessoal, perfazendo a construção da pesquisa, tornou-se testemunho da própria experiência e método de investigação da pesquisa, fundamentada na hermenêutica da facticidade de Martin Heidegger. A partir do relato pessoal do autor sobre sua experiência e compreensão na prática do Aikido, surgiram questionamentos sobre o conhecer si mesmo, que explicitamos como disposição do cuidar de si. Submetemos tais questionamentos a uma análise fenomenológica realizada em três ensaios distintos: O entendimento de si mesmo como acesso ao sentido , em que exploramos o que significa si mesmo e esclarecemos o conhecimento de si como um caminhar pela própria existência em sua realização fática; Conhecer si mesmo e ser-com , a partir das reflexões sobre os co-existentes, apreendemos os outros como parte indissociável do conhecer si mesmo, e refletimos sobre o habitar no ethos dos homens; Conhecer si mesmo e corporeidade , neste ensaio, ao diferenciarmos a concepção de corpo na historia da filosofia da concepção de corporeidade na Ontologia Fundamental, pudemos pensar sobre o tema do corpo (corporeidade) como fundamental na compreensão do existir humano. O aprofundamento conceitual realizado nestes ensaios nos permitiu compreender que estes foram os aspectos possíveis de serem acessados via a narrativa inicial. Estes aspectos analisados nos abriram para a reflexão sobre tema do conhecer si mesmo que permeia o existir humano em sua cotidianidade e suas implicações no pensar a clínica fenomenológico existencial

The main purpose of this study is to find out how technology as a school subject is formed into pedagogical action. Issues addressed are: – How does teaching in the school subject of technology differ in terms of content and process? – How do frame factors influence teaching in technology? As analytic tools, concepts from philosophical thought on technology and education as well as frame factor theory are used to throw light on the way technology education takes shape in the practices of two primary school teachers. The philosophical concepts employed and developed have been inspired by the thinking of Martin Heidegger and John Dewey. These con-cepts are “place” and “shaping of technology,” where the shaping of tech-no¬logy involves the following phases: formulation of the assignment, analysis, visualization/construction and evaluation/reflection. The basic questions are investigated in two case studies over a period of one year. Data is collected based on ethnographic methods and consists of observations, video recordings, documentation in the form of teachers’ diaries as well as pupils’ work, taped interviews with pupils, and interviews with the two teachers both before and after the project was finished. The overall results of the study show that the two teachers, to a different degree, use place, e.g. they try to use the children’s own experiences and the surrounding environment as a starting point in their teaching. They try to organize their teaching as a process of knowledge construction instead of as a process of transmission. In that process, different forms of represen¬tation are used, such as sketches, model constructions and written docu¬mentation, with the element of model construction providing a common denominator given the availability of tools and material. Another similarity between the practices is that the children are given opportunities to work at problem solving in cases where there are no given solutions. However, they enter problems due to their own embodiment in a pedagogy of transmission, which results in the fact that the shaping of technology becomes difficult to organize. Strict borders between subjects, the fragmented timetable of the school, and the organization of the classroom space and scarce equipment and materials all influence the possibilities of teaching in technology.
