The formation of the citizen from the hermeneutics of the absent

Abstract

The main focus of this paper is to highlight the importance in the interpretation required to detect factors inside the educative environment, in which any given process such as citizen formation, are made less important under certain circumstances. This approach is based on analyzing the reality assumed as “Natural” by citizens from different social groups, in which this reality its forms of inequality can be generalized and easily observed. Dominant groups and groups converted into the others subjects. We analyze the importance of assuming a hermeneutic attitude which can shed light on previously obscured and absent factors involved in citizen formation process. This can be even used to reach a position in the tradition that ensures the subjectivity and intersubjectivity around the person. For this, the interpretation arrives from -hermeneutics of absence- based in Walter’s Benjamin, Manuel’s Reyes and Ricardo’s Foster ideas. Arising from there as main categories: language and its different meanings such as silence, sometimes the only shelter of marginalized people. Gestures, projecting the drowning words and the print which has no intention to exist yet is part of reality. This paper highlights the importance that allows the revealing studied by Heidegger as Aletheia, which means, taking things to their revealed state. Profiling the possibilities of bettering relationship systems and alterity creation.
