Abstract
A study of genetic phenomenology which examines the constitution of affirmative cartesian subjectivity in its relation to Latin-American history. This research aims to discuss some of P. Virno’s theses –in their dialogue with Simondon– concerning temporality in the processes of individuation in which subjectivity is constituted. To do this, the transformation of experience and the conceptualization of time, from the Fordist to the Postfordist context is characterized and is confronted with the phenomenological thesis of temporality (I), as a basis to present time in The death man by Horacio Quiroga. The analysis shows the relationship between “civilization” and “barbarism”, as a place in which the self emergences, is established in Latin America. The argument about time occurs in one of the short stories by Horacio Quiroga, The dead man (II, 1). Quiroga caracterizes the notion of time in the transition from barbarism to civilization (II, 2), and alludes to idolatry, displayed around civilizing devices (II, 3). Various ways to dismantle civilizing idolatry are indicated (II, 4).The phenomenon of subjective constitution as compared with individuation is discussed as the close of the writing (III).
