Los límites de tu lenguaje | Pedro Peña | TEDxSanJosedeMayo


good afternoon I came to talk to you about the
reading of the language of literature and
I brought some friends so I could talk
also from them the first to
we have here is Aristotle and why
I bring good because Aristotle defined
to the human being that is what we would come to
do all of us almost like what
defined by next gender and difference
specific as you well know
professors of philosophy next genre
because we are talking about that
we belong to the animal genus we do
the things that animals do and
specific differences because in
ours just in our
differential is that we can think is that
we can reason then aristóteles
He said that we are a rational animal
that the difference with the rest of the
animal is that of thought and
after two thousand years
wine cassirer who is another philosopher of
language that are the people in which
in which I support myself to try
stimulate the habit of reading and almost
he said we are an animal is true
he said he told them we are an animal
symbolic that we can symbolize things
that we can evoke with mental processes
of our thinking signs and that those
good signs this one have a meaning
for those who know how to interpret them in a
that we can also create symbols
new and the language does not give us the
ability to invent new things to
As construction is
History does not say 20 years ago
there were words that are already
falling into disuse now but mostly
there were no others that we invented for
example of google no google is a
relatively new term in the
history so that
after inventing the noun the
noun of origin to a verb a verb
that we all know when we
we search google what we do
google had to invent google the
language already gave us the idea of
that is a noun I add something
modified it in such a way that allows me
this the creating the verb also starting
from there we can create a
adjective for example we can think of
all things you can google it
how would they be
would be things loop you talk
exactly that did not exist before
aristóteles ni cassirer could know
none of that but we can
because the language is one this is not
we’ll talk about that later it’s like a
a machine that reinvents itself not as a
live animal itself after for
I went to several of my friends
I already wanted to get to wittgenstein that is
which inspires a little the name of this
talk that is this the limits of your
language the limits of my language
vick is on it said the limits of
our language are the limits of
our world and therefore
we have so many possibilities
as the language we handle
give us if we have a broad language or
expanded that we are expanding in the
mail of our lives through the
reading or through writing or to
through experience or speech
well that language will allow us
perceive the world and formulate a kind of
knowledge also more expanded in
change if we handle only one
restricted number of words because or
we do not read or we do not have the habit of
speak in front of others or not
we discuss or we do not post things or not
we do nothing with one more language just
exist and breathe in conception
Aristotelian we would be jacques more
animals that rational we do not like
think that way society we
instructs for us to take the
language tool as what it is
not a tool that we good that
it improves us
to this after wittgenstein the there
we have Saint Augustine the idea of bringing
Saint Augustine who lived about 1,500 years ago
1,600 years and is considered one of the
parents of the church is that Saint Augustine
he used the language to define one of
the strangest and indefinable things that
we have in our daily life that is
the time if I asked you
what thing is time as they could
you define or conceptualize the idea
of time they would say not that we were
would happen and it’s certainly a problem
define it because we all have an idea of
what is that is something like
it happens as if he has a present and
before a past and then a future but
actually what would be a
definition of time and ‘san agustín’
I just said that when I ‘m
thinking about the time I know what it is but
when someone asks me, I do not
HE
and how many things we do what
we know what they are but when we
they ask for them
we do not have the language to designate them
or to conceptualize those is a
problem of thinking and remembering
dyn that style is one of the limits that
has our thinking the limit of
our language here we do not have yesterday
good in this kind of great image that
I liked to bring it like this, giordano bruno
you will remember it because it was a
martyr of the good I do not know whether to call him from the
science because actually what you
passed to giordano bruno was that giordano
bruno had decisions or dreams or
revelations and 400 years ago when what
they killed this one they burned it in 1600 in
actually burned him because he had
seen or in your dreams or in your
revelations a kind of dreams this
of real the world as a series of
galaxies a series of worlds all
circulating all in movements
orbitals
actually when the pilgrim through
several churches trying to receive
trying to get him more than
nothing and they always threw him from everywhere
in the end they finished it judging good
ends with this but the small
problem of the stake but I sense the
world as how the world is yes that is the
good world and we know that the
intuitions that he had received through
his dreams bruno giordano were were
successful and he had captured them in the
language
we have here this man
this gentleman still does not find by the same
years in which they were burning to
giordano bruno cervantes was
writing the quixote and the xj is one of
the first novels where both the
dimension of space as we saw with
giordano bruno and the time
we had seen with St. Augustine get together
There is an episode of Quixote that I
I am always counting and recounting
because I think that it offers an idea
of what was that novel in which
is the episode let’s say from the cave of
Montesinos and why this has to do
with time and space so
next you know that with the
Quixote always walked Sancho in the
return to a certain moment they arrive at the
cave of montesinos and quixote is said
well I’m going to go down I’m going to be this
cuerdita a sancho I go to the cave
when you feel like I’m tugging
This suis me not all good barbarian the
quijote seattle accord and is in the
waist gets sancho stays there
sitting a little looking with the donkey
at 89 minutes he feels that the pull and
raise and remove the quixote from the cave
and those who read Quixote know that
after that they come as two chapters
of the quixote where the quixote
tells Sancho everything he saw in the
cave of montesinos the funeral
nobles the pilgrimages the armies
the animals the days he spent inside
the montesinos cave
and Sanchez is looking at it but they were
It was a little while this is possible because in
fiction and through language
we can after touching the
dimensions of both space and
weather
delmira agustini also used the
ghosn language you all know that
delmira agustini also had a death
tragic if it’s one of the first
femicides that of those that good I do not know if
of the first and the famous in the
that there are records this was killed by
your spouse enrique rey is an episode
that from the early 20th century but from the
mira used the language to define the
love yes and associate it with life remember
that we are talking about language as
possibility that we loved
humans to think about the most things
difficult not in time just in
the space in love there is a nice
sonnet by delmira agustini that with this
voice so little privileged but of the
voices to that was evidently not what
carmen speaking today well that’s it
it says well if life is blessed love be
I want more life to love today I feel that
not worth a thousand years of the idea what a
blue minute of feelings my heart
died sad and slow today opens in light
like a flower feve to life springs up like
a violent sea where the hand of love
hit today departed towards the sad night
cold you break my wings my melancholy like
an old stain of pain in the shadow
faraway my life all sings kisses
laugh my life everything is a mouth in bloom and
that is the definition of love that we
leave the Austin video and then we have
the image of jorge manrique manrique is
previous even to cervantes and another of
the subjects that he always deals with
literary works is a subject that we
interpellates much as much time
as space as much as love and is
death if you will remember those that
They already went through the lyceum a while ago and
those who are doing it capable that what
remember now just these days
the famous manrique poem the copies
for the death of his father this where
says among other things remember the soul
Asleep, it revives the brain and awakens
contemplating how life is spent as
death is coming so shut up Juan
soon the pleasure goes like after
agreed to give pain as we see fit
any past time was better and
then it says richer in those same
coplas our lives are the rivers that
they are going to hit the sea that is dying there
go the rightful lordships to finish and
consume the rivers there
medium and smaller and arrivals are
those who live by their hands and
the rich because death is for
manrique what equals people
both those who live by their hands as
the rich are going to be all united in the
same destination it is very difficult to think about
death think about time think about
love think about space without the
language and language many times
enriches our knowledge in
our perception is not here we have
anonymous I’m sure some of
you can support me because
anonymous wrote one thing in which
unite the love and death that all
we know the beautiful version of
romance of the lover and the death of
washington carrasco and cristina fernández
whoever encourages me to recite what
please is welcome remember how
starts
and it’s good that we can all together
a dream dreamed the night
dreamed
While
much more than cold snow, that’s what the
in love but the one that the enamored enters
keep saying how you have centered love
how my life has centered the doors
windows and lattices are closed and
respond
I am not the loving lover I am
there is so rigorous death let me live a
day
very quickly it was fitting faster
dressed and in parentheses said that there
there is a theme because if he puts on
first and then dress
it’s going to be difficult but it’s already going
for the street where his love lived and
he says to the girl open the door
white
How can I open it if the occasion does not
it’s come my father did not go to the palace my
mother is not asleep because you see that
they already at some point
they had done something like that
and well he finally ends he explains no
if you do not open me tonight I will not
you will open dear death is me
looking for you, life would be low
the window where the brave and sewed you
I’ll throw off the silk cord so you upload
above and if the cord will not reach
braids would add that parentheses
the braids were the symbol of purity
of the woman I’m not willing tells you
she to cut me to the symbol of my
purity so I can raise it but that
does not come to fruition because the fine
silk is broken the death that there came
let’s go the lover now is already
fulfilled and you saw that in the
same in those same 40 verses that all
we remember or that much of
we remember and we have them as
degree of fire are just the subject of the
love and the subject of death
I do not want good some acquaintances plus the
the subject of death I’m almost certain
that many of you read this book
but they did not read or go to look well
fast it’s called the country of shadows
Long is a very nice book where
there is the image of the best death that I
have seen in the literature this but the
best act of dying let’s say not always
we are with that the heroes die
fighting the cid or even win in the
cis literature wins the last of the
battles when it is already dead they put it
in the horse they send him to war and
with his presence alone the army of
this enemy army is going but in this
novel in the country of long shadows
there is an old woman who dies in a way
very moving and sits in the snow
already old
and expect that point you see in the
advance towards it that point
that you see on the horizon is a polar bear
if she knows that it is already a burden to
for your family who can not haul
they are carrying it until now and
wait for the polar bear to kill her and the
eat because after this his son is going to
kill the polar bear and eat it is
a very nice idea here we have a
another character but I’m almost sure
that this is difficult for us to know who
is saved what
this character is in the oral tradition
in oral language
his name is jose salles and they call him the god
green the green god existed took him out
that photo and it was a person who was a
merchant until age 60 and 60
years he was revealed god and he started to
preach a message that was between the
God’s message and the message that he
happened to him from his interpretations and
between the 50s and the 70s
according to the testimonies that I could
collect through oral language and
the stories were seen throughout the area
of the coast was a saying in the god
green because I had a layer not that layer
that covered it was acquiring with the
time a greenish tone but it was so
his figure and was so expected that
for example in a town near San
jose asked him to make a
prediction for the people and he said that
in that town every time a
person were going to die two more
then the dead were going to go three
It seems silly but it’s really
a very important thing because in that
people will imagine you is that each
Once one dies the other
people who are not so many to enter
to think how is the situation I
I found these stories with God
green there is another story that is very good
he did not want to stop counting the and he’s
that among the gifts that were attributed to him
was to summon the storms
then it was highly anticipated especially in
the times of drought but there was a
thing that was wonderful and is that
It made women pregnant with only
look at it
after he left the villages
there were many cases that were explained
obviously for this reason
were wishing some people that
they arrive at the village to be able to finally
all this is in the oral tradition
when we talk about language we are not
speaking only of the language of the
writing but also what is the
language that is transmitted mouth to ear and
then mouth again this is jose
hernandez the language has another
particularity that is that of the
catharsis says the iron martyr
here I start singing to the beat of the
vihuela that the man who reveals it
extraordinary pearl like the bird
lonely with the singing consoles the
language is for all of us a great
Very kind consolation
