A formação dos sentidos do ver a partir da percepção de Las Meninas

Abstract

The study consists of the realization of an interpretational path through the work Las Meninas, by Velásquez, and Waltércio Caldas interpretation titled Los Velásquez. A debate is attempted of the contributions of an education in the senses of perception, aided by hermeneutics as the art of comprehension, having in sight a learning proposition of seeing in the contemporary pedagogical act. By analyzing the images, an inquiry is attempted on the formative possibilities of sight from Foucault s attitude towards his reading of Las Meninas. While the philosopher emphasizes the inner look , constituted by the rising modern episteme with the erasing of the look in the object s perspective characterized by the absence of subjectivity and the descentralization of the subject, due to the current hiperpanoptism. Habermas critique to Foucault indicates a way out of the dead ends of reification of the subject, which can be extended to the universe (of reification) of the object as well. Habermas proposal points towards an intersubjective dimension in the constitution of the subject with the aid of the Other. This way, the potentials of seeing oneself and seeing the outside lead us to think the Other as education, seen as formation. The inversion of the look, made possible by the interpretation of internal and external factors of the images presented in this study, propose a change in the habits of observating ourselves and the world. That is Art s function, y inciting us to perceive differently the knowledge and relating differently with it, thus perceiving the Other as an image that intertwines us with the aesthetic formation of the human act.
