Renesansno sopstvo

Abstract

Opseg i domet renesansnih literarnih i vizuelnih formi samoiskazivanja, kako god se one danas tumačile, potvrđuju ideju renesanse kao doba stvaranja modernog sopstva. Opsežna istraživanja ukazala su da je self konstrukcija varijetet socijalnih, ekonomskih, političkih i intelektualnih sila. No, da li one mogu odrediti sopstvo u potpunosti, ili postoji i nešto neobradivo? Pisma, astrološka i alhemijska istraživanja, dramski komadi i teatar i naročito, renesansni neoplatonizam, ukazuju da je renesansno sopstvo, barem ono elitno, slobodno i otporno, snažno individualizovano. Homo humanus je usklađen sa konstruisanim ego idealom svog doba, ali je i usredsređen na gnothi seautón, svestan svoje singolarita, jedinstvene i neponovljive.

The scope and accomplishment of Renaissance literary and visual forms of self-expression, regardless of the mode of their interpretation today, offer proof of the idea of the Renaissance as an age of creation of the modern self. Extensive research has indicated that selfconstruction is the product of a combination of social, economic, political and intellectu-al forces. Still, can they determine the self fully or is there also something that cannot be processed? Letters, astrological and alchemical studies, drama and theatre and, in particular, Renaissance Neoplatonism, indicate that the Renaissance self, the elite self at least, is free and resistent, strongly individualized. Homo humanus is in harmony with the constructed ego ideal of his age but he is also focused on gnothi seautón, conscious of his own singolarita, unique and inimitable.
