| dc.description.abstract | Este artigo tem a intenĆ§Ć£o de desmontar as construƧƵes que se fundamentam num deslize, nem sempre desinteressado, da acepĆ§Ć£o de certas palavras. No caso da confrontaĆ§Ć£o acontece que, de um significado que denota comparaĆ§Ć£o ā o que poderia arrastar tanto diferenƧas como semelhanƧas ā passa-se para um significado de oposiĆ§Ć£o e enfrentamento. O risco consiste no facto de, a partir de aĆ, se inferir que tudo aquilo que Ć© diferente se opƵe e Ć© hostil. Em contrapartida, a HistĆ³ria fornece muitos exemplos de enxertos e de mestiƧagens, nem sempre pacĆficos por certo, mas nĆ£o menos funcionais para o avanƧo da humanidade. O outro elemento, a cultura, Ć© precisamente aquele cuja diferenƧa nĆ£o se deveria utilizar para impulsionar enfrentamentos, mas sim para estimular compreensƵes. The basic idea is to avoid the trap into which we can be led by the displacement of the meaning of certain words. In this case, we deal with confrontation, which originally means just comparison but, through its root verb, confront āthat, in English though not in the Romance languages, besides that of comparing bears also the sense of standing against- has seen its meaning reduced almost exclusively to the latter. The risk with this is that we are thus pushed to infer that difference equals opposition and hostility. It is therefore important to rescue the idea of comparison and the fact of constating differences not as sources of conflict but as ways to comprehension and understanding in an atmosphere of mutual respect. The intertwining of diverse cultures throughout human history, though not always peaceful, has nevertheless enriched one another and opened to humanity āas a whole- possibilities for a better life. | por |
