Resumo: The concept of myth is one of the keys to understand the thought of Walter Benjamin. The aim of this paper is to follow its genesis from the first formulations of the concept of "destiny", as presented in Destiny and character, written in 1919. The present paper is divided in two parts. The first reconstructs Benjamin's arguments, showing them tobe within the domain of the theory of rights and their necessary insertion in a "temporality" mode, defined by "repetition"; the second part attempts to demonstrate that Benjamin's positions were closely linked to a political stand: their aim was, in name of an avowed anarchism, to fight against all nationalist "myths" (that brought Germany to war) and the need of "leaders" (Führer) for the people. Examples of this political bias, based on Benjamin's confrontation with Zionism, are presented.

O objetivo deste texto é reconstituir a gênese deste conceito com base em suas primeiras formulações, tal como apresentadas em Destino e caráter, texto escrito em 1919. O presente artigo se divide em duas partes: na primeira, reconstituímos os argumentos de Benjamin, a partir da filiação do conceito de destino ao domínio de uma Teoria do Direito e sua necessária inserção em um modo de "temporalidade" definido pela "repetição"; a segunda parte pretende demonstrar que as posições de Benjamin estão estreitamente ligadas a uma posição também política: seu objetivo era, em nome de um anarquismo confesso, se contrapor a todos os "mitos" nacionalistas (que levaram a Alemanha à guerra) e à necessidade de "líderes", "condutores" (Führer) para o povo. Como exemplo dessa perspectiva política, nos baseamos na confrontação, sempre presente, de Benjamin com o Sionismo.Faculdade de Filosofia e Ciências1994-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlapplication/x-mobipocket-ebookapplication/epub+ziphttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/12383TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia da Unesp; v. 17 (1994); 15-30TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 17 (1994); 15-30TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 17 (1994); 15-30TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia; Vol. 17 (1994); 15-30TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofia; V. 17 (1994); 15-301980-539X0101-3173reponame:Trans/Form/Ação (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)instacron:UNESPporhttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/12383/7624https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/12383/14747https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/12383/14745https://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/article/view/12383/14746Copyright (c) 1994 TRANS/FORM/AÇÃO: Revista de Filosofiahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessChaves, Ernani2023-06-19T06:00:11Zoai:ojs.revistas.marilia.unesp.br:article/12383Revistahttps://revistas.marilia.unesp.br/index.php/transformacao/PUBhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phptransformacao@marilia.unesp.br1980-539X0101-3173opendoar:2023-06-19T06:00:11Trans/Form/Ação (Online) - Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP)false
