Existence as a Chase - A Persecution of the Borders of Sense

Publication at Faculty of Humanities |

Abstract

This book is an attempt at persecuting the 'chase' by means of an interculturally inspired dialogue with Julio Cortázars short story "el perseguidor." By developing the term 'chase' I hope to describe fundamental patterns of motion in which human existence takes place. I will try to discuss human existence as dynamic 'inter' (inbetween) of medialised relatedness and a facticity that lies beyond the realms of sense.

Based on scenes from the short story I will discuss not only the tension of being-'inter', but also try to illuminate its poles.
