Tiempo mesiánico y narración Para una interpretación teológica de las prácticas narrativas de las víctimas

Abstract

This article proposes elements for an interdisciplinary debate on the theological idea of messianic time secularized by modern political philosophy of the 20th century and how it distorts and erases the sense of kairological temporality as a contraction of messianic time and kairological anticipation. We also discuss how the acts of donation of just persons enable the original experience of human-divine redemption in the heart of history. By taking key ideas of western thinkers critical of enlightened modernity in its secularizing aspect, we propose elements for a theology of the messianic time in a postmodern and decolonial sense. These elements serve as hermeneutic keys to understand the experiences, symbolic practices and narratives of peoples and communities who are survivors of systemic violence amid the current civilizational crisis, who subvert violence through acts of memory, justice, and selfless love.
