Descrição
Resumo:Self-sacrifice is a more radical mode of I-body relation, it is a mode of appropriation phenomenologically describable as an act that exhibits and exploits the self-conscious splitting of concretely human life. Self-sacrifice is the act of a self, of a lucidly conscious subject that experiences or constitutes its body under a mythical orientation of meaning (sacralizing or non-ordinary), as a generating or regenerating moment of an order; to sacrifice is to sacralize the body, that is, to consecrate it in law, to assume its collective, spiritual meaning, in one's own flesh. I develop this thesis in three moments, first I describe the structural determinations of the person as the concrete field of understanding of the social that self-sacrifice exhibits: a reflexive self that in self-sacrifice constitutes its own body as a value (among the highest) in its lived materiality, a subject I deal with in the second section, where I distinguish sacrifice from other autarchic deaths such as suicide; finally, in the third moment, I describe the sense of sacralization as socializing concretion of the individual exhibited in self-sacrifice.
