El "estar siendo" y el "ser alguien" desde el guion de el abrazo de la serpiente

Abstract

This Monograph analyzes how the categories of “ser alguien” and “estar siendo” operating, from the thought of Rodolfo Kusch, and their relationship with the main characters of the film El abrazo de la serpiente. The study presents three moments: first, the identification of the concepts of being someone and being, from the work of Kusch; second, the characterization of the sociocultural context of the characters in the cinematographic work; and, third, the application of the Kuschean ontological categories, in the characters of the film. Kusch's works such as The Seduction of Barbarism, Profound America, Indigenous and Popular Thought in Latin America, are the main theoretical support. The methodological design obeys a type of hermeneutic and comparative studies that generate a dialogue between philosophy and cinema, for which reason the script by the film's director, Ciro Guerra, is also an essential source. One of the final conclusions is that both the philosopher and the film invite an authentic reconciliation between humans and nature.
