Abstract

Is there any way to escape the domain of practice understood as a testimonial of what happened certification by a third party? How is possible to guide the practice of testimony to a praxis that disrupt the right of distinction between fact and presiding over the discourse of ethics? Against these two trends, which reduce the evocation of the past stereotypes of the social imaginary, it is suggested a form of testimony that is at the level of damage inflicted on the people, an injury that takes the form of neglect and exclusion of the city and against which displays the ideal of episteme chairs the political philosophy. The outline of the practice offers a unique experience which lies outside the conventional consideration of the subject of knowledge and reconsiders the categories that challenge the boundaries that distinguish the inside and outside, past and present, forgetfulness and memory.
