Abstract
PABON ALVARADO, Consuelo. The Birth and Death of Man. The Return of the Tragic and the Announcement of the Super-Man. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2017, n.72, pp.159-176. ISSN 0120-3916.
The thesis developed here uses as reference the works by Nietzsche, Artaud, Foucault, and Deleuze. Based on a proposal between theatrical and philosophical, it constructs a critique of the idea of Man and Human Sciences, by presenting them more like exercises of power-knowledge than effective claims of life on earth. It also demonstrates how the history of Man, with a capital letter, is recent (late eighteenth and early nineteenth century), and how, since Nietzsche, this figure has been analyzed genealogically as a bearer of disease and decay, until reaching the announcement of the death of Man, or its overcoming with the Dionysiac construction of the Super-Man. On the sensitive level, the text seeks, from three "cruel" acts that can be presented in a classroom, to in-corporate contemporary philosophical problems by making them vivid through conceptual characters that force the spectator to critically think and feel their present.
