ARISTOTLE, SCULPTURE AND PHOTOGRAPHY: THE QUESTION OF REVENGE
ARISTÓTELES, ESCULTURA E FOTOGRAFIA: A QUESTÃO DA VINGANÇA
Jack Brandão
Much is said about revenge and its reach: how far somebody can go when it comes to taking revenge on someone; or, still, is it ethically and morally acceptable? It would not be a mere reproduction of human irrationality formed along the construction of society, "a kind of wild justice," according to Bacon. If it is justifiable, to what extent could it be feasible? Moreover, if revenge is the result of an error, a mistake? We could raise several questions that would not be capable of being included in an article. However, we ask how revenge was treated in literature and imagery representation over the centuries. In addition, we ask ourselves: Would it be possible to "take revenge" by employing the text and photography?
