Sociedade dos arquivos: temporalidade e intersubjetividade na cultura contemporânea

Abstract

The article discusses the concept of archieve in a mediatic and hyper connected society. It starts from the concept of trace, used by Derrida (1967, 1995) to refer to the pre-ontological character of all meaning and aims on an interpretation of that concept by Ricoeur (1985), in his phenomenological understanding of the problem of temporality. With that in mind, we try to think intersubjectivity and the meaning of the debate about the “cohesion to life” in Dilthey (1992a; 1992b), through the trace. We built the idea that the space-time experience, on the media culture and, through them, on the contemporary society, has no reference and is guided by the trace: atopic and achronic, it is also anarchivic. Therefore, this experience opens up possibilities to abolish the submission of thought to an analogical order and thus to reverse the logocentric status of Western culture (Derrida, 1967).
