Nature in his capacity. His existence makes sense thanks to the performance of feats guided by what the Greeks called hubris or excess, a kind of inclination to cross the boundaries of the possible. In this there is a flirtation with death, a putting oneself at risk. It is very common in classical myths for the hero's end to be tragic, violent, in combat; The figures of Hector and Achilles in the Iliad respond to this archetype . Death, in any case, magnifies the superhuman condition of the hero, close to divine glory. This proximity will be inherited with the Judeo-Christian religion by the figure of the martyr, another mythogenetic product.
I believe that the idea of the hero mutates towards the \\century when the ingredient of the nation is incorporated; From then on heroism and patriotism go hand in hand. Heroes are necessary AOL Email List to inspire new generations of children of the country. Of course, the inevitable role of war in creating heroism remains. The danger is faced not driven by the passion of hubris , the passion of wanting to be more – which in modernity Mary Shelley knew how to capture so well in her Victor Frankenstein –, but in sacrifice, in self-sacrificing dedication to the task that elevate national values in each case. In the film released in Accidental Hero , directed by Stephen Frears , the idea of a hero is subject to a process of deconstruction so to speak.
The screenwriter, David Webb Peoples , also responsible for the story of the highly renowned Blade Runner , subjects the archetype to the sieve of postmodernity, thus revealing its inanity by showing that its foundation is none other than the story, the myth in short. Let us remember that the paradigm of postmodernity relegates the truth to a pure story, a mere social construction that dissolves the objectivity of knowledge and, therefore, knowledge itself like a sugar in coffee. In this sense, it is a philosophical proposal that means an amendment to the entire ideal of the Enlightenment. Let it be clear that my epistemic assumptions do not agree with those of postmodernism; But depending on what areas of reality, and especially human reality, focusing on the story as a foundational activity of ideas that pass for indisputable truths, can be a healthy exercise in demystification.
