Time and speech

Abstract

Two ways ofconceiving the time are opposed: the Aristotelian one, as a series of instants, that is to soy, as a «spacialized» time, which not only simplifies existence, but also reinforces  the conception ofdiscourse as a linear discourse; the Heideggerian lineage, as a simultaneity ofcumulated or projected experiences which woulá make evident the unprecedented complexity of existence, as well as the pertinence ofliterary discourses in communication, in general, and in the educational sphere, in particular.
