Representação e diferença: entre ficções e realidades

Abstract

This piece of work has as its course of research the study of some critical ambiences of the representation concept in the Occident, from its origins in the platonic and aristotelian tradition till its ulterior development in the contemporaneity, with its inherent implications in arts and though. In the contemporaneity, we observe its validation statute and epistemic imposition through a self affirming teleological principle, as well as the contributions which the philosophers Vilém Flusser and Jacques Derrida bring to the discussion. We ve put in evidence some of the proposals from Deleuze and Bergson for a thought that surpasses the constituted principles of representative reason. Lastly, we ve tried to produce relations between the main concepts we ve seen and literary fiction in especial.
