Abstract

The subject of my paper is a conceptual comparison of Adorno’s and Deleuze’s notion of “expression”, and a reflection on their philosophical discourse. I show in what way the two authors, although following different traditions, grasp the question of expression through concepts that are very close to each other, such as montage and collage, or construction and arrangement (agencement). Through the presentation of these concepts, the similarities in the construction of the mechanism of expression will also become apparent, because these concepts follow a similar sequence at parallel levels in both authors. I will argue that, although Adorno reflects on the problem of expression primarily in relation to art, and Deleuze in relation to Spinoza, this conception can be applied as a model to their own philosophical discourse.
