The narrative of the non-phenomenological issue: recognition of the Other in film
Yo, también | Antonio Naharro, Álvaro Pastor | 2009
Mario de la Torre Espinosa

Abstract

Some prejudices about people with Down’s syndrome are questioned in the film Yo, también. Against the continuous questioning of the competences of this people, the film aims for a more mature approach that recognizes the diversity among them. A paradigm shift is needed for breaking with this paternalism. Lévina’s idea of the Other is really valuable in this way.

Key Words: Spanish cinema | Bioethics | Otherness | Emmanuel Lévinas
