Abstract

PASCUCCI, Maria Verónica. On the listening as the host of the other: fragments of a poetics of listening as a way of human formation. Conjectura: filos. e Educ. [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.3, pp.561-575. ISSN 2178-4612.  https://doi.org/10.18226/21784612.v22.n3.9.

In the midst of the time and rhythm established by current social dynamics, characterized by a sonorous landscape that leads to detachment and affective detachment in relationships exhausting the very senses of human life, this work intends to retake the ethical sense of listening as a primordial condition of access to the truth, a listening that, in addition to the simple listening, enables us to peer into the sounds that make up the singularity of the subjects and the world and give the tone of their existence. It establishes relations between the Logos according to Heraclitus, enchanting music in its original sense that because it is a language communicates and says something, and the Greek mousiké whose power of en-chantment brings to the subjects the truth like voice that guides the life. It emphasizes the arts of existence pointed out by Foucault in the epheleia heautou associated with melos and melody, that which sings and enchants from somewhere of the subject and appeals to him to be interested in a certain person, object or event. In this way, the truth of the subject is sonorous, it manifests itself as a language, as a song that one gives, one gives, in the condition of listening to the willing subjects in their openness to listen to him. In the light of Sloterdijk’s thought it identifies the sound spheres as the domain where primitive, founding words of being resonate revealing their origin and essence. It places music as an art of living that acts as a reorganizing element of the knowledge we make about the world and about ourselves. It focuses on the formative resonances of the gesture of listening and silencing as part of a vital [Stimmung] vital to deal with the conflicts and tensions of our own time.
