An approach to the Theory of Knowledge to understand postmodern Art.

Abstract

The present work aims to define a methodology to understand the Art of posmodernity, through the Theory of Knowlwledge. Since it deals with the artistics expressions of posmodernity, we begin our reflections from the changes that occurred in France thought after the events of may 1968. These events generated important changes that allowed us to overcome the epistemic limitations of positivism and structuralism entering into Deconstruction, and the search to Know of reality from the intuition, the non-rational, where human existence is also recognized as irrational. To delve into the subject, we will begin with the concept of Epistemological Obstacle proposed by Gaston Bachelard, to later continue with Hans Gadamer`s approach to Hemeneutic and finally Denise Jodelet´s Social Representations. This is a first step in the search for epistemics tools in the understanding of the Arts in posmodernity.
