- Title
Una redefinición de la violencia trascendental desde la vergüenza y el menosprecio de sí.
- Authors
Alvarado Grecco, Daniel Salvador
- Abstract
Jacques Derrida coined the term "transcendental violence" to account for a kind of violence that begins as soon as the other appears to us. This "original" violence is paired with a betrayal of the other's singularity since language and phenomenality impose meaning upon them. Despite Derrida's efforts to question the idea that violence stems from an originally peaceful state, his account does not provide any explanation of violence as a lived experience, nor does it elaborate on how it is lived by the ego. In this essay, I will try to reappropriate the concept of transcendental violence and link it with that of shame, which I will define here as an objectifying glance that has consequences on the ego's behavior. I will argue that the link between violence and shame can be appreciated by paying attention to the way the ego assumes the objectifying glance.
