The first part, in particular, is dedicated to the discussion of the physical and ethical aspects of the Lucretian concept of clinamen, intended as the expression of an event that breaks the continuity of the uniform rectilinear motion of matter. The last part attempts to trace, within the Lucretian theory of simulacra, a path of emancipation of our ability to imagine, on the model of the theory of knowledge formulated by Spinoza in Ethics. The aim is to outline an idea of vision as an event in which the viewer takes shape together with what he sees. jeu., 08 févr. 2024 16:29:40 +0100 mar., 13 févr. 2024 16:27:37 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1260 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/242 This paper means to examine the theoretical and visual trait of Jean-Luc Godard’s Adieu au langage (2014). The movie questions the efficacy of language for the orienting of the gaze. The matter is that the poverty of language can be pursued but cannot be obtained from within the language itself. On the contrary, the dog, the actual leading character of Godard’s movie, is not naked since he cannot help but be naked. In this sense, one can affirm that the appearances of the dog in Adieu au language represent the reversal of Franz Kafka’s Investigations of a Dog (1922, posthumously published in 1931). Whilst Kafka is the writer who approaches more closely the impersonality of the images, the dog “imprisoned” in his book never accomplishes the “goodbye to language”. After all, Kafka’s dog is identical to the woman undressing and dressing herself in the sitting room in Godard’s movie. mer., 29 nov. 2023 10:39:19 +0100 mar., 13 févr. 2024 09:20:37 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/242
