El régimen de phantasia y la experiencia estética en Merleau-Ponty

Abstract

In the present dissertation we will try to reorder systematically the conceptual shade that Merleau-Ponty bequeathed after his disappearance, in an attempt to reinterpret his last intuitions on this «región sauvage», on this "shade" of subjectivity, where we attend as passive witnesses to this «socle inhabité des choses», wild nature about to arise, without any order and without previous plan, as a sense in the instant previous to its génesis, not still subordinated to the purposes of civilized significances, but inevitably aimed towards what will be its own advent. This way, we will notice that the French thinker's final investigations already pointed to the later discoveries of contemporary phenomenology. The experience of «Art» will become a test bank that will allow us to exceptionally access, through itself, to the most intímate structure within our own subjectivity, to the end of a scale of gnoseologic registers that,  concomitantly, are also levéis of reality. Consequently, the fragilization of subjectivity, that Merleau-Ponty noticed in this «arriére-fond», will put in evidence the internal limitation of the fellow's constituent powers in the génesis of the sense itself, in the precise instant previous to all spontaneous organization on which all that is constituted rests.
