Description
Summary:In this article, Schopenhauer, Freud and Bauman‘s ideas about death are interlinked. Focus is set on death‘s ethical and affective relevance for human beings and on the need to keep thinking about death and keep representing it artistically. Art is considered, especially in the context of transiency aesthetics, as a way to face and approach death, the real thingthat resists any symbolization, even though at the same time it requieres it. Those issues are exemplified through several narrative fragments of colombian writers Juan Diego Mejía, Tomás González, and Piedad Bonnett.
