После 1945. Латентность как источник настоящего (Интеллектуальная история)

by Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Ханс Ульрих Гумбрехт, Ксения Голубович (Translator)

Ключевой вопрос этой книги: как выглядит XX столетие, если отсчитывать его с 1945 года — момента начала глобализации, разделения мира на Восточный и Западный блоки, Нюрнбергского процесса и атомного взрыва в Хиросиме? Авторский взгляд охватывает все континенты и прослеживает те общие гуманитарные процессы, которые протекали в странах, вовлеченных и не вовлеченных во Вторую мировую войну. Гумбрехт считает, что у современного человека изменилось восприятие времени, он больше не может существовать в парадигме прогресса, движения вперед и ухода минувшего в прошлое. По мысли исследователя, наше время — время «латентности», подспудного, скрытого сосуществования мн

Reviews

[Rodrigo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gosto da franqueza ao autor, de como ele revela o que sabe e o que não sabe sem problemas, quase equivalendo seu conhecimento com sua dúvida. É uma forma honesta de investigar.

O autor reflete sobre o pós-Segunda Guerra na Alemanha. Transparece uma ideia de imobilidade (latência), como se o período não tivesse sido superado. Cita Esperando Godot, o Anjo Exterminador, Entre Quatro Paredes (peça de Sartre), Grande Sertão, Veredas, dentre outras obras, para justificar sua perspectiva. Também cita o Homem Revoltado de Albert Camus para indicar o descontentamento com as utopias impulsionadas pelo marxismo. Ele próprio, o autor, desiludido com o marxismo.

Cita a Guerra Fria e seus eventos que "quase aconteceram", mas não “na verdade”. Cita também o conceito de má-fé de Sartre, que destaca o problema de resistir a ser si mesmo, não ser franco; assim como a dificuldade de ser realmente quem somos, pois temos sempre a expectativa de sermos melhores: “... ser nós mesmos — moldar a nossa própria existência e convencermo-nos de que isso é o que queremos ser — implica a necessidade de esconder de nós mesmos o que não encaixa com o que acreditamos ser”.

Gumbrecht fala bastante de seu próprio passado, das experiências que teve ao longo do desenrolar do século XX e do começo do seguinte. É uma leitura muito enriquecedora.

Gumbrecht came of age after WWII and has been concerned with the buried past (my idea) and its lingering effect on the concept of time which he sees as changed by postmodern wrinkling. Gumbrecht's autobiography plays a critical role in the development of the book though his postmodern ethos keeps the narrative from unfolding traditionally.

It is a wothwhile read--though I'll have to return to it . . . appreciatively.
