Synopsis "Desaparecer de sí (in Spanish)"

El individuo no cesa de renacer nunca. Cambia para seguir siendo el mismo. Y puede llegar a sentir la tentación del abismo, o al menos la de desaparecer, la de ser alguien distinto o, a la inversa, multiplicarse.A veces ocurre que ya no deseamos comunicarnos, dejar nuestra impronta en el tiempo, ni siquiera participar en el presente; que no tenemos proyectos ni deseos, que preferimos ver la vida desde la orilla. Eso es la ausencia.La ausencia afecta a hombres y mujeres corrientes, llega hasta el fondo de sus seres y se apropia de ellos. Se trata de un estado particular queEncuadernación: RústicaColección: Serie mayor nos deja fuera del tejido social y en el que uno desaparece por un tiempo, pero que, paradójicamente, es necesario para seguir viviendo.Este libro del sociólogo David Le Breton es esencial para comprender por qué tanta gente siente esa «necesidad de ausencia», opuesta al estilo de vida occidental en donde se intenta controlar todo; un mundo marcado por las obligaciones, las exigencias, los compromisos, la apariencia, el estrés, y por la búsqueda frenética de sensaciones. Es ahí donde aparece el deseo de desconectar, de hacerse invisible, de ausentarse.

David Le Breton (Le Mans, France, 1953) is a prominent French sociologist and anthropologist, known for his deep exploration of human corporeality and its relationship with society and culture. He is a professor at the University of Strasbourg and a member of the University Institute of France.

His work covers topics such as pain, silence, the face, walking, and risk behaviors, with a particular focus on the experience of the body in modernity. Le Breton has written more than 20 books, many of which have been translated into various languages. Among his most influential titles are Anthropology of the Body and Modernity, The Sociology of the Body, Silence, Anthropology of Pain, and In Praise of Walking.

In his studies, Le Breton argues that "we do not have a body, we are our body," highlighting the importance of corporeality as a constitutive element of identity and human experience. Additionally, he has critically addressed the impact of technology and social networks on the perception of the body and mental health, warning about the risks of a "seated humanity" that reduces the joy of living.
