La acción y el tiempo en la obra de Paul Ricoeur : hacia una política de la historicidad

Abstract

This research has as a fundamental theme the dialectical relationship between action and time. This relationship becomes important to the extent that it starts from an action located in a here and now, but is framed in a time horizon in which the past that has happened and the future to happen play significant roles. Roles that allow establishing a horizon of discussion about memory and its complex interaction with history, remembering is an exercise in which the past, the present and the future are compromised in the possibility of opening or closing the joint action of the communities historically configured. In this context, our purpose is to argue that the work of Paul Ricoeur provides crucial elements to understand the dialectical dynamic between action and time, which can be taken as a basis for the development of a policy of historicity. This research has an inclined theoretical interest and explores the emergence of other interpretations, from the dialectic of action and time, that release the possibility of thinking about a policy of memory beyond the well-known places that anchor it to monumental history.
