    Pra que Diabo Filosofar? ( papo filosófico a favor de uma filosofiativa )
    (2001) NUNES, Ruben G.
    Natal, RN, corner of Brazil. Ponta Negra beach, stretching in a languid curve facing the Atlantic. The sexiest beach in this friend's northeast. On the outskirts, advancing towards the sea, the unmistakable Morro do Careca, sparse vegetation, pale green, against the blue green of the sea. And, from above, like an open wagon waiting for life, that huge rip made of dune sand, spilling down the slope, until it found the beach and the lapping of the lapping waves. I narrowed my eyes. Strong sun. I focused the coming-to-be phenomenon in my look. The phenomenon had a paper-white color and walked beside a very thin brunette, long hair flying, wide hips, very short bikini. The contrast in color, shape, lightness and content, between them, drew attention. The phenomenon was a more tall figure. It passed by spreading colors. He wore sunglasses with large green frames, red shorts down to the shins, intense yellow sports shirt, semi-rolled long sleeve, multicolored cap, back-turned brim holding his blond hair, brown sneakers in his left hand, a yellow towel and a camera hanging on the shoulder. Complete tourist-beach kit. All very practical and not subtle. An American tourist in Ponta Negra, it could only be. A pragmatic or neopragmatic Yankee, no doubt. Rorty or not Rorty? That’s the unreally question. Passing firm, hard body, heavy, haughty, a certain pride. The pride of the dollar. A strange figure, all dressed up in that sun, on that beach of almost naked people. He conveyed in his step, movement, gestures and pendants an invasive, managerial, mechanical objectivity, without human warmth. Objectivity without a subject. But endowed with a strong authoritarian presence – which leads to a fearful respect for simple people. An anomaly, an odd, weird, unsubject being, an arogasboga, as they say around here, in this welcoming northeast. Where's the guy?
