CONTRERAS GALLEGOS, Luis Fernando. Historical Montages of the Modern Gaze and the Appearance of Man as an Object of Knowledge. A Dialogue between De Certeau and Foucault. Hist. graf [online]. 2022, n.59, pp.99-132.  Epub 27-Jul-2022. ISSN 1405-0927.  https://doi.org/10.48102/hyg.vi59.419.

The aim of this work is to retrieve some of the contributions of Michel Foucault and Michel De Certeau on one of the themes of interest they shared: the modern gaze and the emergence of man as an object of knowledge. The contribution of this article is to develop the hypothesis that there was no absolute discontinuity in the appearance of this modern gaze. On the contrary, it is a discontinuity dispersed in different processes that must be related. Thus, our hypothesis is that the modern gaze and the appearance of man as an object of knowledge can only be dimensioned by being related to three processes: 1. The struggles against mysticism from the sixteenth century onwards; 2. A modern experience of madness; 3. The modern experience of death and finitude.

Palabras llave : Gaze; Knowledge; Modernity; Finitude.
