Abstract

This article focuses on the concept of "mediation" as used by Adorno throughout his philosophical and critical work. Starting with his discussion about culture in contemporary society, the paper examines his reflections on language as a process lacerated between the social aspect of communication and an emphatic (and dialectic) notion of truth. In a dialectical framework that privileges the motif of the "non-identity" of Art, I discuss the relationship between literature – as the model for the "aesthetic dignity of words" – and the possibility of overcoming that laceration in the sense of communicating differentiality.

Author Biography

Matheus de Brito, University of Coimbra | CLP

Matheus de Brito, brazilian, born in 1988, João Pessoa-PB. Student of “Classical and Vernacular Languages and Literatures” at Universidade Federal da Paraíba (2006-08), he came as a mobility student to the University of Coimbra, where he took his degree in “Portuguese” (2011). He has been working along with theory of literature and critical theory, especially the aesthetic ideas of Walter Benjamin and Theodor Adorno. His concerning pictures show themselves through the Philosophy-Aesthetics-Language constellation, to which the Materialities of the Literature provide a decisive prism. Subscribing to the hardly-that-old Rimbaud’s dictum, “Il faut être absolument moderne” (one must be absolutely modern), he also has some literary pretensions and related, which are compulsively documented at disformevazio (“shapelessvoid”, his blog).
