Unnatural Narratives, Emotions, and Neoliberalism
description
From the perspective of dialectics and its notion of Wissenschaft (science) implemented into Latin American Marxist Studies of Culture and Media, this article aims at analyzing unnatural narratives developed by authors such as Jan Alber, Henrik Skov Nielsen, etc., in relation to the emphasis on the emotional linked to bio-politics and post-postmodernism. It studies some elements as the violation of the excluded middle from the formal logics into unnatural narratives, as a means to eliminate the notion of mimesis, and at the same time through the non-referentiality and the abstracted, to accentuate the irrational (the emotional). Besides, these narratives are understood as a means of social control and of collaboration in the improvement of the extraction of surplus value, in the context of the current systemic crisis of capitalism. Also, it is assumed a critical position in regard to these narratives, since, in political terms, it is not possible to accept this economic strategy, disguised as a narratological paradigm, with nuances of social control, in the context of the Third-World countries.

Elementos como a violação do terceiro, excluído da lógica formal dentro de narrativas desnaturais/inaturais, são analisados, como forma de eliminar a noção de mimesis e, ao mesmo tempo, através da não-referencialidade e abstração, acentuar o irracional (o que é emocional). Além disso, essas narrativas são entendidas como um meio de controlo social e de colaboração para a melhoria da extração de aspectos/elementos considerados como uma mais-valia, no contexto da actual crise sistémica capitalista. Da mesma forma, assume-se uma posição crítica em relação a essas narrativas, uma vez que, em termos políticos, não é possível aceitar essa estratégia de controlo económico e social, disfarçada de paradigma narratológico, no contexto de países do terceiro mundo.Desde la perspectiva de la dialéctica y su noción de Wissenschaft (ciencia) implementada dentro de los Estudios Marxistas Latinoamericanos de la Cultura y los Medios, este artículo apunta a analizar las narrativas innaturales desarrollada por autores como Jan Alber, Henrik Skov Nielsen, etc., en relación con el post-postmodernismo y el énfasis en lo emocional ligado a la bio-política.
