Abstract

The idea of pore drives this work to a way of thinking communication. It is a Greek word that means passageway and comes both from mythology and philosophy. Pores is unhackneyed passage, path into open ocean: it is not a previewed path (odos) then. It takes part in a different logic, that questions about the question itself, as it is a thought around hem an edged thought. Going through this sense the thesis shall break down foregone commonplaces usual to what is communication? question, not answering it nevertheless. Communication, as it is supposed in research guides, comes from a common ground towards a sharing state, the common itself. One must pay attention to this ground, though, since it is not clear so far what it is about: an inhabitance (ethos), a nomadic moving around the world or yet a sharing of symbols and experience? Commonplaces, places in common: from prompt to the medium; from subject to message; from private life to public space. Does not matter what pair is taken since it is all about metaphysics, which does not quite lead to clarification but to communicative aporia. Nonetheless, aporias cannot be settled thru method, though only thru pores moving. According to this viewpoint, communication has got to have as much to do with home, common and ordinary as it has with desertion and uncanny (das Unheimliche). This work was done in two stages: firstly in Filocom working group (Philosophical Studies of Communication) at Eca-USP; secondly, in a 16 months period at J. W. Goethe University of Frankfurt. In Brazilian stage there was a grant from FAPESP and in German period there was a grant from CAPES-DAAD agreement. (AU)
