The tragic look: Regions, violence and everyday life
Abstract
The object of this text is to address the specifics of what would be a tragic look, or tragicity, and its theoretical possibilities for historiography and studies on regions. To what extent the concepts of tragedy, such as Nietzsche’s concepts of Apollonian and Dionysian and their dynamics, could approach important binomials for the historiography of regions, such as places and spaces, strategies and tactics of Michel de Certeau. We recognize that the tragic is configured as a thought-provoking conceptual alternative to approach narratives or daily life reports and practices of physical or symbolic violence, lawful or unlawful.
Keywords: tragicity, regions, history of violence.
