Abstract
It's been for decades that Reflexivity, understood in its broadest sense, has enjoyed an undeniable acceptance in different fields of philosophy, science, and art. On one hand, it's been deployed as a methodological concept in these fields, and on the other, it's been used as an analytical instrument. However the point is that reflexivity, in any sense of the word and in any field, has always been associated with possibilities of critique; and this critical competence has made reflexivity a popular concept since the past century. Furthermore, and apart from its critical and negative capabilities, reflexivity is also able to make new things possible by creating alternative spaces, and these affirmative possibilities are nonetheless based on this primary negation. Reflexivity has different significations according to different interpretive schemes, they may be epistemological, methodological, aesthetical, ethical or political. In the present article, and after a short introduction to this term, we will explore the ethical possibilities of reflexivity in the narrative of 'Close-up'.
