Abstract

VELEZ LOPEZ, Germán Darío. Apropiación y alienación: consideraciones hermenéutico-existenciales a propósito de la Pastoral americana de Philip Roth. Culturales [online]. 2013, vol.1, n.1, pp.11-26. ISSN 2448-539X.

Starting from a basic formulation of relevant elements of Heidegger's phenomenological hermeneutics, this article proposes a reading of the work of the american writer Philip Roth, which earned him a Pulitzer Prize in 1989, entitled American Pastoral. The main purpose of this reading is to show how elementary existential phenomena like being-away (Wegsein), staying-awake (Wachsein), being-there (Dasein) allow an appropriate articulation of meaning of the work of Roth, in which it declares his particular existential commitment.

Keywords : appropriation; existence; hermeneutics; tragedy; death; acknowledgment.
