Évènement: The Tragic Hero (Immortal) Under Lacanian Materialism Bias

Alain Badiou (1994) argues that the failure of the discourses that govern the society is the result of a misplaced ethics. The preservation of human rights and respect for diversity are among the imperatives that naturalize the dominant ideology as a mainstay of the status quo. To supplant the values ​​of a generalization that leads to the subjection and omission, the philosopher presents the "ethics of truths", in which the subject dispenses with the attitude of victimization, increasing in its subjectivity. In this way, it’s put in the forefront the recognition of the Same and the ability to pursue a truth process. Moving away from the passive behavior and unanimity, comes the immortal subject, which resists to the conduct of "animal-to-death", becoming faithful to an Event, occurrence that will transform many lives and will lead to single completeness as possible. In Greek myth, Prometheus rises to the rank of immortal at the time that gives us the human race with the freedom, through the gift of fire. This event is the appointment to which Prometheus listens and by which he gives up the advantages of the gods world, overcoming the limits of a typical lifetime to build the character of transcendence, the immortality. Despite the punishment that is suffering, Prometheus remains faithful to the disruption that it introduces, personifying an authentic warrior against the high-handed Olympic power.
