NAVARRO FUENTES, Carlos Alberto. Jean-Luc Godard and Antonin Artaud. Critical perspectives on the image. Inter disciplina [online]. 2022, vol.10, n.28, pp.423-446.  Epub Dec 05, 2022. ISSN 2448-5705.  https://doi.org/10.22201/ceiich.24485705e.2022.28.83309.

The aim of the essay is to offer a sociohistorical and humanistic perspective of the context which saw the birth of the Nouvelle Vague, where Jean-Luc Godard emerged. Firstly, it goes into the author’s thinking about the ontology of the image as basis of the cinematographic language and accompanying technical innovations, distancing from the literary language and the implications that it entails. Secondly, the criticism that Antonin Artaud undertakes on the operation of the scene is presented, taking distance and autonomy from the literary language and the tyranny that the text prints on the language of the acting body as foundations of the western theatrical tradition. Critical aspects Artaud finds in both cinema and theater reviewing texts written by both authors, where they criticize the regime of representation, the mercantile and entertainment uses in which they are imbued. Finally, the essay shows how criticism of both authors survives in their respective spheres having in itself an ethical and proactive disposition, not only aesthetic, to pierce the regimes of sensitivity and representation, assuming the image as a cognitive and pedagogical pillar to apprehend, understand -and act on- reality.
