Abstract

RALON DE WALTON, Graciela. La corporalidad responsiva desde la fenomenología merleaupontyana y su expresión en la pintura. Eidos [online]. 2018, n.28, pp.19-32. ISSN 1692-8857.

Following Merleau-Ponty´s inspiration, B. Waldenfels deals with embodiment emphasizing its responsive dimension, i.e., modes of bodily behavior and experience that respond to interpellations of the strange. From this view, the article aims to explaining the intertwining of body and nature with the intention of showing that nature, understood as another side of human being, implies an alterity that cannot be reduced to the logic of intentionality nor to the logic of communication.

The interpellation that arises from Nature (Anspruch) has, on the one hand, the meaning of appeal (Appel) in the sense of an address (Ansprache) to somebody, and, on the other, of pretention (Prätention) as an interpellation to something. Based on these presuppositions, the second part of the article tries to show how, by means of painting, a responsive action is set in motion. The features of singularity, unavoidableness, subsequence, asymmetry, and innovation that characterize the logic of the answer guiding this action.

Keywords : Nature; temporality; body; responsiveness; painting.
