A aceleração do tempo na contemporaneidade: um diálogo entre Jean-Paul Sartre e Hartmut Rosa sobre o impacto das demandas modernas na constituição da subjetividade

Abstract

This final course paper aims to analyze the constitution of subjectivity in contemporary times, addressing themes such as the acceleration of time, alienation, and the risk of inauthenticity. It examines the perspectives of philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre and sociologist Hartmut Rosa. The research seeks to interpret accelerated contemporary life through an existentialist lens, highlighting the impacts of social acceleration on the constitution of subjectivity and the risks of inauthenticity in modernity. The work is structured in three chapters. The first chapter explores Hartmut Rosa's theory of social acceleration and its impacts on the constitution of subjectivity. The second chapter analyzes Jean-Paul Sartre's existentialist philosophy, as well as the idea that existence precedes essence. The third chapter presents a theoretical comparison between the two authors, highlighting points of dialogue between their reflections. Therefore, this research was developed through a qualitative study, based on works and bibliographic reviews that discuss existentialism and the theory of acceleration. It is observed that social acceleration intensifies the feeling of lack of time, contributing to the fragmentation of relationships and meanings, thus intensifying alienation. It is concluded that the acceleration of time, by fragmenting relationships and weakening the sense of authenticity, compromises the constitution of subjectivity in modernity
