description Based on the concepts of  “culture” and  “ontological unity of the human” in the phenomenology of life of Michel Henry, it is pointed out in this article the identity between the knowledge of self-affective life and two of the distinctive features of living human: the word and the narration. Approached from a language of life prior to any linguistic and narrative configuration, the exposure to words is not inscribed in the appearance of the world designated by them but in the original reality of feeling immanent in life in them. Although all language comes from the power and desire of the subjective life to experience itself in every gesture of the body, daily speech and literary creation increase in a particularly intense way this capacity and said desire. Indeed, far from representing life, the “narration of the pathos” realizes the immediate figuration of affect and force. Thus, this work aims to show the novelty of the Henrian theory of the languages of affect regarding, on the one hand, the debate around humanism and post-humanism and, on the other hand, the link between phenomenology and hermeneutics.

Approached from a language of life prior to any linguistic and narrative configuration, the exposure to words is not inscribed in the appearance of the world designated by them but in the original reality of feeling immanent in life in them. Although all language comes from the power and desire of the subjective life to experience itself in every gesture of the body, daily speech and literary creation increase in a particularly intense way this capacity and said desire.

A partir de los conceptos de “cultura” y “unidad ontológica de lo humano” en la fenomenología de la vida de Michel Henry, se afirma en este artículo la identidad entre el saber de la vida auto-afectiva y dos de los rasgos distintivos del viviente humano: la palabra y la narración. Abordada desde un lenguaje de la vida anterior a toda configuración lingüística y narrativa, la exposición a las palabras no se inscribe en el aparecer del mundo designado por ellas sino en la realidad originaria del sentirse inmanente de la vida en ellas. Si bien todo lenguaje proviene del poder y del deseo de la vida subjetiva de experimentarse a sí misma en cada gesto del cuerpo, el hablar cotidiano y la creación literaria acrecientan de manera particularmente intensa dicha capacidad y dicho deseo. En efecto, lejos de representar la vida, la “narración del pathos” realiza la figuración inmediata del afecto y de la fuerza. Así, este trabajo pretende mostrar la novedad de la teoría henriana de los lenguajes del afecto respecto, por un lado, del debate en torno al humanismo y el post-humanismo y, por otro lado, del vínculo entre fenomenología y hermenéutica.  Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia 2020-07-21 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/cuestiones_filosofia/article/view/11214 10.19053/01235095.v6.n26.2020.11214 Cuestiones de Filosofía; Vol. 6 No. 26 (2020): Cuestiones de Filosofía; 29-51 Cuestiones de Filosofía; Vol. 6 Núm. 26 (2020): Cuestiones de Filosofía; 29-51 2389-9441 0123-5095 spa https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/cuestiones_filosofia/article/view/11214/9607 https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/cuestiones_filosofia/article/view/11214/13327 Derechos de autor 2020 Cesare Aníbal Del Mastro Puccio http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0
