Abstract

In this paper we propose to perform a critical reading assignment of the phenomenological philosophy of Merleau-Ponty about language in order to problematize our work as teachers in the area of Language & Literature and to think about a possible foundation our praxis. The starting point motivates our research is the recognition that we are experiencing a complex situation in which language seems to be reduced to an informative code –with claims of transparency and neutrality–, to the detriment of its truly symbolic and expressive value.
