Point Of Departure

The aim of this article is to think about possible connections between the hermeneutics of history and the theory of translation, as they were elaborated upon, outlined, perhaps even suggested by Paul Ricœur, taking as its point of departure the question of the translation of the past. This would establish whether the phrase “translation of the past” – that we find in his article of 1998 entitled, "La marque du passé" – could form the title of a coherent programme of a Ricoeurian hermeneutics of history or whether it would remain at the level of metaphors that invite an easy conceptual vagueness.

The One

During the past fifty years, a dispute over the nature of historical discourse has taken place with the narrativist approach, arguing for the dominance of narration in history, on the one hand, and professional historians defending historiography's will to tell the truth, on the other. Paul Ricoeur entered the discussion with his work Time and Narrative where he offered an inventive response. According to him, both narration and scientific explication are essential to historical discourse. To support his statement, he introduces terms such as ‘a third time,‘ ‘a quasi-narration’ or ‘a historical consciousness.’ Thus, he shifts attention from narration to time. These terms can prove their usefulness when interpreting historical works. In the rest of the article, we aim to carry out such an interpretation on the example of Landscape and Memory by Simon Schama. In a Ricœurian perspective, Schama's book reveals its deep time significance.

The Future

In a recent book published in Montreal, Bachelard ou le Concept Contre l'image, Jean-Pierre Roy suggests that idealists have in recent years attempted a recouping of Bachelard’s works in a way that would proceed from “a humanist ideology of literature” (1977, p.203) and he mentions Georges Poulet, Jean-Pierre Richard and Paul Ricoeur. Indeed he sees a rupture between Bachelard’s approach to works of art and his epistemology, which would place him in the camp of rigorous knowledge, and Jean-Pierre Roy refers to Barthes, Genette and Derrida (1977, p.219). The author of the book concludes that the poetics of Bachelard belong to a time which is anterior to that of his epistemology. This is of course a verdict which allows for the rejection of a mode of thinking which belongs to the past and which cannot be seen flourishing in the future channels of what Marxists hold as the sense of history.

During the past four decades, the studies concerning the historiographical production have adopted, as a favorite reference, what Michel de Certeau called “historiographical operation” in his well-known work L’Ecriture de l’Histoire. On the basis on some comments on it provided by Paul Ricoeur, we shall examine the main aspects of this proposal and discuss its possible adaptation to the current requirements of the writing of history and the practice of historians.Key WordsHistoriographical operation, social place, practice, writing, structuralism, hermeneuticsResumenEn las últimas cuatro décadas, los estudios relativos a la producción historiográfica han tomado, como referencia predilecta, lo que Michel de Certeau denominó “operación historiográfica” en su famoso libro L’Ecriture de l’Histoire.

Point Of Departure

The article discusses translation as a critical approach to how we see culture. According to the anthropologist Marianne Gullestad culture is part of mechanism of exclusion when it is linked to identity or “sameness”. Belonging to the same culture becomes a criterion for being included into a society, whereas having a different cultural belonging is a criterion for exclusion. Culture is thus placed within an oppositional logic of same-different. By seeing a parallel between languages and cultures, translation indicates another kind of thinking which is not based on this oppositional logic and hence question the reason for exclusion and inclusion. By the help of philosopher Paul Ricoeur the article looks at Martin Luther’s translation of the Bible in the 16th century as an example of how to avoid seeing linguistic sameness and difference as the only point of departure for thinking relations between languages, and analogically speaking: relations between cultures.

The Way

The aporias of time that Paul Ricœur identifies in the conclusion to his three-volume Time and Narrative offer a fecund starting-point from which to consider how the poetics of narrativity figures in a philosophy of the will. By setting the poetics of narrativity against the aporetics of temporality, Ricoeur highlights the narrative art’s operative power in drawing together incidents and events in answer to time’s dispersion across the present, the past, and the future. In turn, the confession of the limits of narrative opens the way to a broader consideration of the idea of the unity of history in the absence of a meta-historical plot. This idea calls for a reflection on the ethical and political imperative of making freedom a reality for all. By taking the theory of freedom’s actualization as a touchstone, I argue that the vision of a reconciled humanity that for Ricœur is the intended object of the poetics of the will acquires the force of a directive idea. The capacity to refashion the real from within thus proves to be decisive for drawing out the connection between the aporetics of temporality, the poetics of narrativity, and Ricœur’s philosophical anthropology.

Striking Fact

This paper attempts to analyse the relationship between Paul Ricœur and Friedrich Nietzsche starting from the specific problem of the debt that we owe to the past, that is of the legacy of the past. It is indeed a striking fact that in Memory, History, Forgetting, although Ricœur refers several times to Nietzsche, he does not take up the nietzschean analysis of the Schuld – “debt, fault”– in the Genealogy of Moral, even tacitly decline them. Starting from the importance of the notion of fault in Ricœur (particularly in The Symbolic of Evil) we will try to better understand this refusal and is hermeneutical implications.

In the past, biblical scholarship has neglected the hermeneutical contribution that an imaginal engagement with the text may make. The author’s aim in this article was to develop theological imagination as a hermeneutical device. This was done by briefly considering the concurrence in the hermeneutic contributions of three interpreters of biblical texts, with specific regard to their understanding of biblical imagination. These were Walter Brueggemann, Paul Ricoeur and Ignatius of Loyola. Their hermeneutical contributions concur in their understanding of a biblically informed imagination, and it is specifically this aspect of the concurrence of their thought that was explored. An illustration from Proverbs 14:27, which draws on the metaphor and biblical motif of the fountain or source of life, was put forward to demonstrate how the concurrence in the contributions of these biblical interpreters may influence an imaginal engagement with the text.Keywords: Old Testament; Proverbs; Hermeneutics; The fear of the Lord/Yahweh;  Walter Brueggemann; Paul Ricoeur;  Ignatius of Loyola; Imaginal engagement

RESUMOEste trabalho se detém no livro La chambre claire de Roland Barthes e procura comparar os conceitos de studium e punctum, formulados nesta obra, aos pólos em oposição que definem a faculdade mnemônica humana segundo a fenomenologia da memória descrita por Paul Ricœur. O ponto de contato entre a memória e a imagem fotográfica, por sua vez, encontra-se a partir do princípio de distanciamento implícito em ambas: se a memória, como diz Aristóteles, “é do passado” e depende da distinção temporal entre a lembrança e o objeto ou evento a que a lembrança se refere, a imagem fotográfica, por conta da relação de contiguidade que estabelece com seu referente, também implica na demarcação de um distanciamento temporal entre signo e referente. A partir da verificação de similaridades entre a fotografia e a fenomenologia da memória, pretende-se, finalmente, estabelecer os pontos em comum que ambas as operações possuem em relação ao tempo.Palavras ChaveFotografia, Roland Barthes, fenomenologia da memória. Abstract This paper delves into the book La chambre claire written by Roland Barthes and compares the concepts of studium and punctum, conceived within this text, to the opposing poles that defines the mnemonic human faculty according to Paul Ricœur’s phenomenology of memory. The link between the memory and the photographic image, by its turn, lies in the detachment principle implied in both: if memory, as Aristotle says, “is of the past” and relies on the temporal distinction between the recollection and the object or event accounted by this recollection, the photographic image, due to the relationship of contiguity established with its referent, implies on the demarcation of a temporal detachment between sign and its referent. From the recognition of similarities between the photography and the phenomenology of memory, this study aims to establish the common aspects that both operations has in their relationship with time.Key wordsPhotography, Roland Barthes, phenomenology of memory.

Theoretical Reflection

A narrativa foi — e é — objeto de reflexão na ciência história por diferentes autores e distintas abordagens. Este artigo acompanha o movimento de análise que tematiza a narrativa histórica, a fim de ampliar a reflexão acerca do “estatuto narrativo” da História acadêmica e didática e entender os limites e as possibilidades de sua pretensão em representar o passado. Com essa problematização, almeja-se colocar a narrativa como foco de análise no ensino de História como caminho passível para enfrentar as disputas de narrativas que perfilam o cotidiano da sala de aula. Para tanto, recorre-se a diferentes autores, em especial Paul Ricœur, para explicitar em que consiste a narrativa histórica e quais os procedimentos que atribuem legitimidade e reconhecimento a sua representação do passado. Pelo arcabouço teórico mobilizado, defende-se que os procedimentos constituidores da narrativa histórica podem ser acionados como uma estratégia viável para lidar com as disputas de narrativa em sala aula e promover o entendimento sobre a relação de confiança e credibilidade que esse relato escrito desfruta na tarefa de representar o passado.***The narrative was - and is - an object of reflection in history by different authors and different approaches. The article follows the movement of analysis that focuses on the historical narrative to broaden the reflection on the “narrative status” of History - academic and didactic – in order to understand the limits and possibilities of its claim to represent the past. With this problematization, the aim is to place the narrative as the focus of analysis in the teaching of History as a possible way to face the disputes of narratives that appear in the daily life of the classroom. To this end, it mobilizes different authors, especially Paul Ricoeur, to explain what the historical narrative consists of and which procedures give legitimacy and recognition to its representation of the past. Through the mobilized framework, it is argued that the procedures which constitute historical narrative can be used as a viable strategy to deal with classroom narrative disputes and to promote understanding of the relationship of trust and credibility that this written report rejoices in the task of representing the past.
