| Summary: |
The human being is planned linguistically: he is a speech (time), «to be-in-the-world» with «another one», and the words are the codes with which he constructs this «world». Only perforating the superficial structure that translates his deeply speech, he announces himself as a presence (praesens). This work goes after this announce; it tries to cross, specifically, the semantic threshold of the voice «Modernity» to clear it of another one that remembers «modern». Two voices that, in a single act, approach euphonically and are expelled in his authentic significance. «Modernity» is a late coinage of the historical XIX century, identified with the anthropologic superiority. «Modern» talks about opposite topic to «ancient». It commits an outrage against «Age» (aetas), that it is like to say classification of contents, separation, but does not say about temporary materiality. The history of a word is the history of an idea; this one, in his first meaning, is the sign of the image (representation) of everything (mundus), and it is part of our physical being that the image captures the object that will develop idea (forms). The convergence of different visual representations drove to the idea of «Modernity», that one which brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm documented in his Deutsch Wörterbuch of 1889 (vol. VII) about 1870; singular group that marks an epistemological break with the Christian western being of the episteme. The «modern thing» is an axis of a vast semantic field, easy to find in different age contexts; as «age» brings us over to a logical order of addition, logic linked to an illustrated imperative: to classify. «Modernity» refers to temporary coefficient: the voice time (in his more absolute materiality) defines his epistemic scene. To say «Modernity» is to do it of an epistemic order that casts down two thousand years of history. |
