Collage/ Montage
photography selects and transfers a fragment of the visual continuum into a new frame
strongest version of the semiotic theory of photography is realised in the strategies of photomontage
Montage does not reproduce the real, but
constructs an object or
rather, mounts a process in order to intervene in the world, not to reflect but to change reality.
Post-criticism
formed by modernist art to critical representations
collage/ montage is the key device taken over by critics and theorists
Collage
Derrida as the "Aristotle" of montage
It is becoming apparent that in his reliance on collage/montage as the stylistic device with which to deconstruct mimesis, Derrida is doing for this new mode of representation what Aristotle, in the Poetics, did for "mimetologism."
language
collage being the ''limit-case'' of
citation, and grammatology being the theory of writing as citation
mimetologism capture of representation
by the metaphysics of "logocentrism,"
logocentrism is the illusion that the meaning of a word has its origin in the structure of reality and at the same time makes that truth part of that structure seem directly present to the mind.
The tendency of Western philosophy throughout its history (''logocentris-m'') totry to pin down and fix a specific signified to a given signifier violates, according to grammatology, the nature of language, which functions not in terms of matched pairs (signi.fier/signifieds) but of couplers or couplings'' a person or thing that couples or links together." The
Understanding
alternative to "illusionism" of perspective
a solution to analytic cubism
objects showed a new and authentic source between artistic expressions and daily experiences
direct representation
integrated to creating something different and unique
Bricolage
Characteristics
decoupage
assemblage
The
model for a writing which goes beyond juxtaposition to superimposition is
not collage but photography. ''Borderlines'' itself is compared ( with respect
to the problem of translation) to a ''film for developing~'' for ''processing''
-hence, the text as ''procession."
preformed/ extant messages/ materials
discontinuity/ diversity
definition: construction made of whatever materials are at hand
Photography
collage and grammatology is not enough to go beyond juxtaposition and superimposition
Derrida's basic formulation of the nature of language is to placed in the context of the collage paradigm, takes on its fullest significance.
useful way to represent
adopted by post-criticism
means of mechanical reproduction
language does not have a single meaning
"analogy between post-criticism and revolution (which transformed the arts) should include realist and semiotic versions"
