La desaparición de los rituales

Una topología del presente

Byung-Chul Han,

About this book

Los rituales, como acciones simbólicas, crean una comunidad sin comunicación, pues se asientan como significantes que, sin transmitir nada, permiten que una colectividad reconozca en ellos sus señas de identidad. Sin embargo, lo que predomina hoy es una comunicación sin comunidad, pues se ha producido una pérdida de los rituales sociales.En el mundo contemporáneo, donde la fluidez de la comunicación es un imperativo, los ritos se perciben como una obsolescencia y un estorbo prescindible. Byung-Chul Han se pregunta: ¿por qué las formas simbólicas cohesionan la sociedad y qué nos depara esta cuando deja de cultivarlas? Para Han, su progresiva desaparición acarrea el desgaste de la comunidad y la desorientación del individuo.En este libro, los rituales constituyen un fondo de contraste que sirve para perfilar los contornos de nuestras sociedades. Se esboza, así, una genealogía de su desaparición mientras se da cuenta de las patologías del presente y, sobre todo, de la erosión que ello comporta. Este nuevo ensayo de Byung-Chul reflexiona sobre estilos de vida alternativos que serían capaces de liberar la sociedad de su narcisismo colectivo.
