Abstract

This text aims to share a set of questions and reflections, associated with it, on the importance and power of art in the first person in the collective context. One wonders why and to whom personal memories and biographies may be of interest if they concern particular universes, subjectivities and idiosyncrasies? How to give visibility to memories and personal stories and make them sociocultural amplifiers? How to narrate idiosyncrasies without incurring confessional practice, or exhibitionism? The reflection is based on the author's personal, teaching, investigative and creative experience and on the dialogue with authors such as Carl G. Jung, Gregory Bateson, Edgar Morin, Francesca Alinovi and Néstor Grarcía Canclíni and has the hypothesis that the key for first-person artistic narratives to be powerful and achieve resonance in the expanded scope of social, is in the connection symbolic consensus and social empathy.
