The narrative of the non-phenomenological issue: recognition of the Other in film

Yo, también | Antonio Naharro, Álvaro Pastor | 2009

Abstract

Some prejudices about people with Down’s syndrome are questioned in the film Yo, también. Against the continuous questioning of the competences of this people, the film aims for a more mature approach that recognizes the diversity among them. A paradigm shift is needed for breaking with this paternalism. Lévina’s idea of the Other is really valuable in this way.

Key Words: Spanish cinema | Bioethics | Otherness | Emmanuel Lévinas

This article is, for the time being, only available in Spanish: La narrativa de lo no fenomenológico: el reconocimiento de el Otro en el cine
