Drawing on the few previous studies dedicated to it, the aim of this paper is to show how this film addresses a central philosophical question: is it possible to experience the other’s otherness? In particular, Herzog engages with the question of the extent to which it is possible for a sighted person to imagine what it is like to be deaf and blind. The following defends the thesis that, although the experience of deaf-blindness is incommunicable and inaccessible to sighted people, and although all representations of it are inadequate, both Herzog, through the cinematographic medium, and Fini Straubinger, through metaphorical and poetic language, attempt to convey certain aspects of this experience.Instituto de Filosofia da NOVA (IFILNOVA)RUNStellino, Paolo2022-03-08T23:21:31Z20202020-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article20application/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/134127eng2039-6635PURE: 19698736https://doi.org/10.14648/97255info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T05:12:34Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/134127Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:47:59.420337Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
