Ensaio ontológico do ser : como a gestalt-terapia compreende os impactos do contemporâneo no ser-aí

Abstract

This study aims to analyze points of confluence between Gestalt therapy and the contemporary, providing a debate about how the aforementioned psychological-philosophical aspect understands the impacts caused by the use of the internet and its objects (smartphone, computer, applications) in the construction existence as a person today. To establish correlations between modernity and Gestalt therapy, concepts from sociology, Gestalt approach and existentialism were selected, which establish a directive and explanatory link regarding the use and abuse of the cited objects. Faced with this correlation, questions have arisen about how society has been constituted in the face of the acceleration of time and technological evolution. Given this, the hypothesis is formulated that the virtual world occupies, today, spaces that should belong to the real world, but have been replaced by the digital one. In addition, it starts from the Gestalt assumptions that the being is made up of relationships: contacts with people and objects, and this interferes directly in the dasein. This writing aims to verify these points that cross each other, bump into each other, and in some cases, are surpassed. To achieve this objective, the gestalt perspective on the ontology of being was used, along with the idea of cyberspace, culminated by Levy (1999). This article is about the ontological unfolding of the individual in this encounter between the virtual and the real. The conclusion reached is, although this topic is extremely important to evaluate various manifestations of digital in people's daily lives, a thorough analysis of other areas that encompass the subject's existence is necessary, for example, the macro-social level.
