L`oeil emancipè (Emancipation of the Eye)

Summary/Abstract: The issue of the interaction of language and image in arts is often raised in philosophy. Contemporary philosophy – beginning with Nietzsche – recognizes the domination of language over image observed in the Western culture and highlights the fact that for quite a long time we have been witnessing the crisis of their interdependence. In the article I present the problem in the light of the writings of three authors: Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Francois Lyotard, and Louis Marin. I specify the remises of anti-logocentric criticism represented by the aforementioned writers, as well as the cultural and artistic transformations which they discern, and which trigger the process of liberating the image from the logocentric supremacy.
