Opis

A backlit vision reveals a silhouette that, referring to identity, shows the depths of the social, hidden by the frame of the ethnocultural with the role of a skylight focus. In Venezuela, subjectivity is strangled due to the ethnic disorder of social disorientation. The literary narrative takes advantage of the backlight to achieve a beautiful fiction of reality; science elaborates it crudely disenchanted according to the principle of reality, as it operates. Identity is felt as if in a bidding process: society - impersonal law - appears as an enemy of the primarily personalistic ethnicity which, being reduced to transform meaning in its cultural ethos "corrodes all (social) projects and complacently laments" (Briceño G.). An immanent critique of culture will reveal in a transcendental backlight the best of the Venezuelan as an opening to the field of society, defining the whole identity, that of the Venezuelan people and nation.
