Abstract

The objective of this essay is to question whether in the late modern we are witnessing the emergence of a new paradigm or rather cultural dynamisms of overlapping perspectives. To achieve this goal, we will first investigate the phenomenologies of the monstrous that, although they took place from the 19th century, have been scientifically and intellectually prepared since the beginning of Modernity. Then, we will show that in the 20th century they were specified and modeled as complex systems, and that it is from such an explanation, in multiple disciplines, that today, perhaps, it is possible to speak of the emergence of a new paradigm. However, we will also show that such an emergence, by redounding to the affirmation of complexity, uncertainty, ambiguity, and volatility, collides with other perspectives causing its explanations to be paradoxical, because although it seems to show the most appropriate way to address the immense challenges that we face, culturally it continues to be resisted by traditional dynamisms.
