Notes sur L’esthétique du Collage. Une Stratégie de Rénovation des Codes Artistiques
Notes on the Aesthetic of Collage. A Strategy for the Reconstruction of Artistic Codes

Summary/Abstract: Important for both the Avant-garde’s poetic as for the history and evolution of Art in general, the Collage became, at the beginning of the 20th Century, a form of reevaluating the artistic codes, a manner of putting under discussion both the Creator and the Receiver, a productive strategy of innovating the aesthetic languages. The present article tries to define the inherent philosophy of creation manifested through this form of production which elaborates itself paradoxically, just at the level of the spontaneity (‘s mimicry), of the ludic-poetical practice. Its mechanisms self-contain both a natural legitimation which organically belongs to the foundation of some literary-artistic schools (like Dadaism and Constructivism), and a delegitimizing phase, that gets justified itself through the cynico-kynical reason, as discussed by Peter Sloterdijk [1983].
