PARRA ROZO, Omar  y  BARRIOS TAO, Hernando. TRANSHUMANISM: A MATTER OF SKIN. Escritos - Fac. Filos. Let. Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2015, vol.23, n.50, pp.43-65. ISSN 0120-1263.

The research presented in the following paper was elaborated according to the methodology of analogical hermeneutics. Based on the primary steps of the analysis and interpretation, the narrative literary language and its immediate relation with other kinds of languages -such as visual, audiovisual, pictorial, televisual, and mixed (cinematographic) - were used. Therefore, written, spoken and acted works were studied. Remaining faithful to the proposals of the author, to the context and to the reader; a narrative, textual and argumentative reading was carried out. Works which have a polysemic message were used in the elaboration of the paper. The questions addressed in the paper are: What does the author means with the work being related to the skin? And, particularly, what does the analyzed work mean or re-signify to the subject of the research? Thus, the classical discursive structure is framed in such a way that it goes from a prelude consisting of an epistemological horizon of the myth to a (conclusive) postlude that echoes the virtus hermeneutica -proposed and implemented by Mauricio Beuchot- which entails a "right" interpretation in accordance with the "truth" of the work: the skin, the biggest and most complex of the organs of human beings, leads to suppose a biological and anatomical decisive transcendence that should be understood, analyzed and interpreted within different aesthetical, ethical and narrative contexts.

Palabras clave : Skin; Mythology; Narrative; Youth; (Hermeneutical) Philosophy.
