El presente ensayo examina no solo como se forma el miedo moderno y su relacio?n con la tragedia, sino las diversas formas culturales de vivirla respecto al futuro. Se antepone la figura de la personalidad heroica como una construccio?n moderna centrada en la necesidad de sentir placer por la pe?rdida. Esta tendencia lleva a las personas a sentirse u?nicas respecto a otras. Si el he?roe es aquel que no se doblega ante el destino, tambie?n es un ser que lleva tras si? una historia de dolor y sufrimiento. Ahora bien, tanto los pai?ses de raigambre cultural latino como los germa?nicos han elaborado diferentes formas de vivir lo tra?gico; lo cierto es que el futuro, como construccio?n social, juega un rol importante en dichos procesos. Mientras para los anglosajones el futuro se mantiene como una entidad inmutable que no puede ser modificada, para los latinos el futuro se construye solo desde el presente.
Abstract
This essay aims to review how to form not only the modern man’s fear and its relationship with tragedy but also the way to live it according to the future. Heroic personality is chosen as a modern figure focused on the need of pleasure feeling by the loss. This trend makes people consider themselves unique related to others. If the hero is that one who does not bow down to the fate, it is also a human being who has a pain and suffering story behind him. Now, in those countries of deep-seated Latin cultural roots such as German countries have established different ways of living. One thing is true, the future as social construction plays an important role in those processes. While English speaking countries the future is kept as the immutable entity which can not be modified. For Latin, people future is built only based on the present.
