Gender Trouble

This article indicates a reflective paradigm generally ignored in feminist research regarding the sex/gender debate, as presented in the work of Judith Butler (Gender Trouble).  First, I address the fact that Butler’s philosophy is inscribed in the hermeneutical tradition of suspicion. Second, I put into relief the implicitly Platonic concept of mimesis, which is central to the anticipated subversion of gender, but uncriticized by Butler and others who follow her line of thought.  Third, since Butler’s feminism can’t ward off dualism, nor consider idem and ipse identity, I emphasize Paul Ricoeur ’s concept of triple mimesis and narrative identity, which allows us to depart from dichotomies and hierarchies.  Following the path of Ricoeur and Françoise Heritier, I finally defend a feminist hermeneutical point of view, which is differentialist and universal.

The Subject

In this paper, I read Paul Ricoeur in dialogue with Judith Butler, Emmanuel Levinas and Annie Léchenet. I suggest that Ricoeur’s philosophy provides interesting tools to articulate two simultaneous feminist claims, that is, a claim for recognition and a claim of justice. This article particularly highlights how the Ricoeurian hermeneutics of the subject, which puts self-esteem at the centre of the good life with and for others within just institutions, can provide an interesting frame for feminist research. Through my reading of Ricoeur, by linking more precisely the notions of promise and self-esteem, I argue that Ricoeur’s philosophy allows us to develop a theory of faithfulness to oneself, which, I suggest, is an implicit claim of feminist discourse.

ABSTRACTFrom the point of view of literary theory and comparative literature, this article aims to analyze how it is configured the narrative of life of a patient of the General and Didactic Clinic of the University of São Paulo School of Medicine, in the context of a consultation with the resident who attends her, and how that narrative is reconfigured by the same resident, both in the conversation with her assistant and at the resumption of the consultation with the patient, in which diagnostic hypotheses, predictions and treatments will be transmitted. The analysis undertaken here is based mainly on the concepts of prefiguration, configuration and refiguration established by Paul Ricoeur in his book Time and Narrative (2010); narrator and narrative point of view, as in Arrigucci Jr. (1998) and Friedman (2002); and the cultural aspects of the comic genre, as in Aristotle (s/d), Darnton (1996), Bakhtin (1999) and Baudelaire (2002). In conclusion, this paper aims to propose some analytical and theoretical grounds for the concept of a “cleaved’ or “impure” narrator in the context of the relations between narrative and medicine.RESUMENEste artigo busca analisar, do ponto de vista da teoria literária e da literatura comparada, o modo como é configurada, por ela mesma, a narrativa de vida de uma paciente do Ambulatório Geral e Didático do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo num contexto de consulta com a médica residente que a atende, e de que modo essa narrativa é reconfigurada pela mesma residente, tanto na conversa com seu assistente quanto na retomada da consulta com a paciente, na qual hipóteses diagnósticas, prognósticos e tratamento lhe serão transmitidos. A análise empreendida aqui funda-se essencialmente nos conceitos de prefiguração, configuração e refiguração, tal como estabelecidos por Paul Ricoeur em sua obra Tempo e narrativa (2010); narrador e ponto de vista narrativo, tal como em Arrigucci Jr. (1998) e Friedman (2002); e do riso em suas articulações culturais, tal como em Aristóteles (s/d), Darnton (1996), Bakhtin (1999) e Baudelaire (2002). Ao final, este trabalho visa a propor bases analíticas e teóricas para a definição do conceito de narrador “clivado” ou “impuro”, no contexto das relações entre narrativa e medicina.

In Time and narrative then in Oneself as another Paul Ricœur proposes a philosophy of personal and collective identity, through research on time and narrative. According to these books, emplotment would synthesize and reconcile the temporal discordance, experienced by the selfhood. The subject’s fragmentation by the otherness of time could then define vulnerability. Our aim is to question this triad time-vulnerability-narrative thanks to the opposite positions of Emmanuel Levinas. Unlike Ricœur, Levinas severely criticizes the idea of memory and narrative in order to respect the vulnerability of the other. Yet, the Ricœurian analysis of the responsibility affirms the need for a capable and not dispossessed Self. From this point of view, Ricœur helps us to question the limits set by Levinas to narrative and leads us to wonder if the ethical plot for the vulnerability of others does not need memory and narrative.

This article has the double goal of reflecting on the concept of narrative identity in Paul Ricoeur’s Thinking and of evaluating its contribution to the resolution of the general problem of personal identity. Accordingly, this article will develop the following thesis: 1) narrative identity results from a permanent dialectic between character (sameness, Idem) and selfhood (constancy, Ipse), that is, between subject’s power to relate continuously to himself during all his life through narrative mediation and subject’s psychological and physical traits; 2) personal identity is the continuous ethical and aesthetical (self)recreation and narrative identity brings perfectly together these two domains.

The Human Condition

Acting and suffering subjectivity makes a grand sujet in Ricoeur's philosophy. In his Time and Narrative Ricoeur created the notion of narrative identity which is an individual internalized and evolving life strory. The narrative alone might define the “who”. Whoever lives and exists, suffers. Ricoeur metaphorically defined life as a cloth. We can add, Wiercinski continues, that this cloth is woven with pain. It is pain which makes the cloth, and, at the same time, it is also a joy of the human condition. As humans, we are called to wear this cloth as well as to understand what does it mean - from the hermeneutic perspective.

Phenomenological Point

Revelation is a key category for both phenomenology and hermeneutics. The first domain deals with the possibility of revelation, while the second through its interpretation seeks to understand the reality. Hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur is characterized by a focus on understanding the human ipseity (soi) and as such refers to phenomenology. Ricoeur is the author of the term 'hermeneutic phenomenology'. Initially, he emphasized the separation between the revelation of the sacrum and the verbal message of religious traditions. With time, however, he noticed that the religious word assumes the functions of numinosum, becoming a place of revelation. After all, Ricoeur remains on the content side of revelation, and therefore the phenomenology of Jean-Luc Marion, who treats revelation from a purely phenomenological point of view, is a valuable complement to this research. Revelation is the giving of the phenomenon as such, on its own initiative, starting from itself, independent from the subject, saturated phenomenon. From this two-voice of Ricoeur and Marion emerges a full picture of the philosophy of revelation, confirming at the same time the need for cooperation between phenomenology and hermeneutics

A lo largo de la historia de la filosofía, el problema del mal ha sido enfocado o desde un punto de vista moralizante o desde un punto de vista metafísico, que difícilmente puede dar respuesta a la pregunta por el origen del mal radical en el hombre. Partiendo de la distinción entre mal sufrido y mal cometido o mal moral —que establece Paul Ricoeur—, se tratará de mostrar que el mal sufrido realmente no es un mal. Por su parte, la experiencia genuina del mal sufrido que se concreta en la pregunta al aire del justo sufriente nos permitirá, por un lado, deslindar las concepciones de sufrimiento y mal mediante el uso del concepto dolor, y por otro lado, una revisión antropológica del problema del mal, que cuadra perfectamente con la línea de propuesta de Paul Ricoeur, cuya teoría acerca de la experiencia del mal será comentada y ampliada desde un antropología trascendental, no desde una metafísica, ni desde la perspectiva simbólica de Ricoeur.Throughout the history of philosophy the problem of evil has been examined either from a moral or a metaphysical point of view, neither of which can answer the question of the radical origin of evil in human life. By distinguishing between suffered evil and committed or moral evil —a distinction that Paul Ricoeur established— we will try to show that suffered evil is not really an evil. On the one hand, the genuine experience of suffered evil, which takes form in the questions of the just man who suffers, will allow us to make a distinction between suffering and evil through the concept of pain. On the other hand, it will also help us to conduct an anthropologic review of the problem of evil. This approach fits perfectly with Paul Ricoeur’s line of thought, since his theory about the experience of evil will be studied and delved into through a transcendental anthropology, not from a metaphysical approach, and not from Ricoeur’s symbolic perspective.

Over Time

For Paul Ricœur, human action was a central preoccupation already present in his early work and deepening over time, benefitting from a long engagement with hermeneutical and narrative analyses. It is the concern to locate, through obligatory moral norms, the ethical dimension of desire that guides and motivates action that first makes use of a hermeneutic of signs, symbols, and texts in which the desire of the subject has been expressed. But narratives become essential in order to describe action in such a way that the actor’s responsibility can be evaluated at the level of his narrative identity. To this responsibility, interpreted and taught by means of cultural narratives, the concepts of memory and promise add the dimension of the struggle for recognition and point to an ontology of the historical condition at the foundation of an ethic that rests open to a religious dimension of an original goodness.

The notions of “narrated time” and “narrative identity” have become, in less than three decades, commonplaces, not only for philosophers, but also for psychologists and ethicists. This would be welcomed, if only it were not used nowadays in what must be called a new dogmatic way. Now, Paul Ricœur indeed asserted, in various ways, the wealth of the notion of narrative; but he also readily acknowleged its limits – aren’t these limits those of hermeneutics itself?

Abstract This paper examines the relationship between narrative and subjectivity. It begins by examining the subject in the work of Paul Ricoeur and Thomas Berry and the way in which the task of subjectivity for both thinkers is related to narrative. Although occupying different disciplines, both men share a commitment to narrative. Ricoeur in his formation of narrative identity and the unity that this provides to a life, and Berry in his use of narrative in proposing a new human identity. Through an examination of Ricoeur and Berry’s approach to narrative, specifically in how it contributes to the development of subjectivity, this paper suggests that such an approach has validity as a method in addressing the ecological crisis.
