Narrative

Resumos

As histórias, como vias de compreensão da condição humana, têm preocupado a Filosofia desde Aristóteles. O artigo, baseado em uma visão afirmativa da narratividade (Ricoeur, Rorty e MacIntyre), elabora a ideia de que a resistência à narratividade em nome de modelos redutores de cientificismo deverá ceder à compreensão de que a verdade histórica tanto é propriedade do chamado conhecimento objetivo, como do conhecimento narrativo. Num diálogo crítico entre a poética aristotélica e leituras hermenêuticas contemporâneas, discute as relações entre verdade narrativa e memória; ficção e história; catarse e testemunho; identidade narrativa e responsabilidade moral. Considerando as possibilidades de narrativa interativa e não-linear da era digital, a narrativa é considerada um convite à responsividade ética e poética.

Stories offer us some of the richest and most enduring insights into the human condition and have preoccupied philosophy since Aristotle. This article, based on the affirmative view of narrativity advanced by theorists like Ricoeur, Rorty and MacIntyre, argues that historical truth is as much the property of narrative knowledge as it is of so-called objective knowledge. It proposes a critical dialogue between Aristotelian poetics and contemporary hermeneutic readings, discussing the relations between narrative and memory, fiction and history, catharsis and testimony, narrative identity and moral responsibility. Considering the new possibilities of interactive and non-linear narration in the digital era, narrative is seen as an open-ended invitation to ethical and poetic responsiveness.
