Abstract

This paper attempts to display the lacunar and interstitial spatiality of the sensible experience in Merleau-Ponty's later working notes to The visible and the invisible. For that purpose, it discusses some Merleau-Ponty's statements about perceptibility and intersubjectivity where is evoked the intentional life through an analogy to esthetical experience and its savage polissemy. Furthermore, this paper speculates that, although the evidence that the multimodal plasticity revelead by modern art provides renewed support for interpretating sensory experiences - impossible task for rationality -, late Merleau-Ponty's theory seems unable to propose a consistent notion of negativity.Este estudo procura evidenciar a natureza lacunar e intersticial da espacialidade própria à experiência sensível, segundo o último Merleau-Ponty, aquele da notas de trabalho de Le visible et l'invisible. Para tanto, são discutidos os momentos em que, no trato tanto com a perceptibilidade quanto com a intersubjetividade, Merleau-Ponty evoca a vida intencional a partir da analogia com a experiência estética em sua selvagem polissemia. O estudo especula que, apesar da evidência de que a plasticidade multimodal da arte moderna fornece renovado suporte para a interpretação da experiência sensorial, tarefa impossível para a racionalidade, a teoria do último Merleau-Ponty parece incapaz de propor uma noção consistente de negatividade.
