Abstract

This article discusses the lines of postmodern thought and its effects on culture as well the place that the new man occupies in this time of transformation. With the publication of Darwin’s book "Origin of Species" - which exceeded the limits of science and shook the religious sphere as it denied the divine origin of man, initiated preached by Creationism – initiated a time of change. Thus, the intellectuality has drawn up new bases of understanding of these new man in time and space. This new movement was reflected in the space of Arts, Literature and Philosophy and leveraged further with the publication of the General Theory of Relativity Einstein, shaking definitely the system inherited from the progressive Christian Western civilization. However, there is still a enigma around the understanding of this new man. "Who am I?" and "Who is the Other?" are questions that guide the artistic productions, but which have not yet been answered, remains a mystery chaotic.
